Name/Country: Ludwig Beilschmidt/Germany
Pokemon Team:
Houndour (lvl. 22) – Zane (Flash fire, brave, likes sour food; Ember, Smog, Bite, Roar)
Pidgeotto (lvl. 21) – Alex (Keen Eye, docile, likes sweet food; Gust, Quick-Attack, Whirlwind, Sand-Attack)
Aron (lvl. 18) – Chalybs (Rock-Head, timid, likes sour food; Headbutt, Metal Claw, Iron Defense, Mud-Slap)
Luxio (lvl. 20) – Jensen (Intimidate, jolly, likes spicy food; Tackle, Spark, Bite, Hidden Power)
Starter: His starter was his Houndour Zane. Ludwig found Zane when he was still a little pup in the forest. Pokemon poachers had abducted his pack and killed his mother as Ludwig found out years later. He took the unconscious Houndour pup home and nursed him back to health. As a “thanks” Zane bit Ludwig in the arm as soon as he woke up but he stayed with him nonetheless because Ludwig was now pack.
Background:
Ludwig grew up together with his older brother who raised him after their parents had died. Because his brother took over their father’s poke gym, he didn’t have that much spare time for Ludwig so the younger Beilschmidt brother spent hours walking in the big forest that surrounded their home town.
He feels nervous around other people because he never quite learned how to behave around others and now, he’s scared to make a mistake and appear weird and strange. So he prefers to keep close to his pokemon and enjoys his alone time.
Almost three months ago, Ludwig’s brother told him Ludwig would be the next gym leader. At least for a while because his brother intended to go on vacation. Ludwig decided to travel the world and become a pokemon champion to prove himself that he can take over his older brother’s gym.
Relations: He has an older brother who is the gym leader of their home town.
Role: He is a young trainer who takes the battle of the gyms to prove himself he is strong enough to be a gym leader himself.
Personality:
Once you get behind his serious and seemingly stoic mask, Ludwig is a very kind and caring person. He tends to stay away from other people because he is unconsciously afraid to get hurt and betrayed again or even worse, get them in danger. But once he has accepted you, Ludwig will do everything to protect you and keep you happy. When you found a place in his heart, it’s very difficult to lose it again.
Lots of social interactions (like hugging or people smiling at him) make him blush and embarrassed.
Ludwig is very punctual and has a (not so) slight obsession with cleaning. Whenever he sees a spot of dirt he just can’t help himself and starts cleaning almost immediately. This tends to freak some people who don’t know him very good out. Furthermore he’s a dyed-in-the-wool workaholic.
He is a very stubborn person. Once he has set his head on something, you just can’t make him change his mind. Most of the time he’s very patient with the people around him but when he’s confronted with laziness and idiocy, he tends to blow up. Afterwards, he often regrets this but his pride forbids him to apologize.
Strengths:
• very intelligent (He’s a very logical and widely read person.)
• has good leading skills when they are needed
• brave and loyal
• patient
• forgives easily (especially when it comes to the people he cares for)
• always tries to think of the consequences of his behaviour
• does everything to protect the ones he loves
Weaknesses:
• gets easily embarrassed and is also slightly shy
• often too serious (he can also be very strict)
• socially awkward
• loses his temper quickly when faced with idiocy and laziness (this tends to make him forget his usual foresighted personality)
• more of a loner (it takes a while to gain his trust and sympathy)
Other: I think it’s important to add that my first language isn’t English, it’s German. But I’m always trying my best. Don’t be afraid to point my grammar and spelling mistakes out to me. I’m always glad if I can improve myself.
Sample: (I hope it’s okay if I use a sample from another RPG.)
“Ich kann nicht glauben, dass ich das hier wirklich tue.”
Ludwig sighed deeply. He couldn’t believe that he had let Feliciano talk him into this. His older brother Gilbert had made things only worse with his constant cheers about free candy. But Ludwig was still clueless about why he had to tag along with Feliciano, his childish older Bruder and Peter and Raivis (who had been ‘borrowed’ just for this evening) when they went trick-or-treating in their neighbourhood.
Trying to save the little bit of dignity he had left, he ripped of the weird pieces of fake fur that Feliciano had glued there an hour ago. It didn’t help much though. Now he just looked like a big mutated dog instead of a big mutated dog which really needed to see a hairdresser.
Maybe this here wouldn’t be so embarrassing if Ludwig could at least take of these weird fluffy and gottverdammt pink dog ears. When Feliciano had told him not to worry about a costume and that he was sure Feliks could probably lend them one, he should have known that this was going to be a disaster.
But the little Italian had forbidden him to even touch the ears in one of his rare serious moments. Ludwig knew better than to ignore Feli’s orders whenever he was like that.
So here he was. About to knock on a stranger’s front door in the most ridiculous costume that existed on earth, accompanied by his idiotic brother, a hyperactive Italian and two children already running on too much sugar. He had the bad feeling that Gilbert was going to notice that Ludwig was blushing up to his ears any moment and then make fun of it.
It didn’t help that Feliciano thought his costume was cute.
“Cute like what? The poodle of death?!” Ludwig snapped at him. When he saw Felicano’s hurt expression, he immediately regretted his outburst.
But before he could say anything else, the remark of his brother that at least Ludwig was the cutest and pinkest poodle of death he had ever seen, sent him into another fit of rage.
This was going to be a long and exhausting night.
