Name:
Valor the Raccoon
Nicknames:
Val
Species:
Crab-eating raccoon
Gender:
Male
Age:
21
Alignment:
Chaotic good
Height:
3’6’’
Residence:
Soleanna City
World of Origin:
Sol
Occupation:
Working in a music store.
Personality:
Val is very opinionated for the most part and often speaks without considering the effects his words might have until afterward. He’s snarky and sarcastic, especially when he panics or is afraid. He has a very strong conscience and will follow his own moral compass, regardless of what side of the law that puts him on. He gets very angry when he sees someone “oppressing” anyone else’s freedoms and lives by the rule that “anyone can do or be anything they want as long as they don’t force themselves on others” yet ironically he sometimes imposes his own morals on others, thus making him occasionally hypocritical.
Val usually regards any authority figures with contempt. Seeing governments as manipulative and, for lack of a better word, evil. He has severe trust issues, preferring to do things himself rather then rely on others, yet acts friendly towards most people and is far too quick to take people at their word. He doesn’t watch television or follow the media at all. Instead he spends most of his time playing video games and playing/listening to music.
He is very much a dreamer, spending most of his time in his own fantasies and can often seem out of touch with those around him. That said he really is quite emotional and will go out of his way to help someone.
The few times he goes outside for leisure are usually to practise riding his Extreme Gear, which he is very much an amateur at. Because of his general lifestyle he has no set sleep pattern and most of the time he is most active through the night. Because of this he yawns a lot whenever he’s awake.
While mostly coming across as generally happy, Val tends to be very cynical and pessimistic about himself and dangerous situations and especially about anything that’s very popular to the general public. He’s always dubious when it comes to anything hyped up and has even stopped being interested in one or two things when they became popular.
He has severe bouts of doubt and stress over his own actions, worrying about every little thing and assuming the worst case scenario will come to pass simply because he is involved. Most of the time the jokey attitude is to hide his fear, hoping that people will accept him and that he, as he is, will be good enough.
Strengths:
Excellent sight at night.
Playing guitar, singer.
Riding Extreme Gear for leisure.
Years of experience playing video games.
Weaknesses:
Stubbornness, lack of information about recent events due to not following the media, occasional hypocrisy, trust issues. Can be distant, distracted or day-dreamy very often. Claustrophobia, arachnophobia (normal or Mobian) Tends to react on impulse when angry. Easily manipulated by women.
Emerald Abilities:
None known yet.
History:
Val’s childhood was normal enough. He grew up in Soleanna City with his family, which consisted of his mother and grandparents. Due to his father having left his family as a baby, Val was the victim of regular bullying and teasing which caused him to retreat into his own worlds in video games and books. Having few friends growing up he developed trust problems, preferring to do things himself. He didn’t go out in his spare time and instead focused on what was becoming a passion of his; music.
As he grew, Val learnt how to play the guitar as well as practices his singing voice and eventually began playing with bands and earning money for it as a freelancer. His confidence grew more and more as this went on and he soon developed a group of friends online through his gaming.
He was also a huge fan of comedians and stand up, specifically the political kind, the comedians who took stands against things and were never afraid to voice their opinions. Through these he heard many stories about the government committing horrible crimes and never being punished for them and learnt not to trust anything he heard in the media. Realising most of it was either trivial issues, pointless gossip or lies.
Recently with the bridge formed between Sol and Gaia Val has begun crossing over to explore this odd new world. Though completely oblivious to most of its history, he’s fascinated by it. During one of his first visits to Gaia Val was presented with some propaganda for the Eggman Empire and, from what little he knew, actually bought into it, seeing Eggman wanting to overtake the government as an improvement. From that he ended up actually hearing about Sonic and disliking the blue speedster for causing so much collateral damage in trying to get in Eggman’s way.
Likes:
Video games, mostly platformers and RPGs
Music, mostly rock of various genres
Meeting new and interesting people.
His favourite weather is warm days with not too much sun and cool nights. Oddly though he also enjoys thunderstorms.
Playing at gigs and hearing the crowd or feeling the rush of adrenaline from making a jump on his Extreme Gear.
Gummi bears and Chinese food. (not at the same time)
Dislikes:
Sea food.
The government. GUN.
Playing to a bad crowd.
Losing at…anything.
He hates blazing hot days, heavy snow and freezing nights.
People who tell him or others what they can or can’t do.
Appearance:
Theme:
The Phoenix - Fall Out Boy
Other Info:
He has a bad habit of biting his nails so his claws are short but jagged, so still sharp. He can only handle the Board style Extreme Gear.
The idea with Val is that he is an Indole who has not yet discovered his powers. At some point (as Jamie suggested) he may come into contact with a Sol emerald which will awaken his power of Pyrokinesis. At this point I’ll update his app to reflect that but his experience and skill with his powers will be extremely minimal to begin with and the idea is he’ll develop over time.
