[tab=Appearance]Posted Image
He was a man hardened by life - mentally, physically, spiritually. The deep contours of his face eluded to years of toil and woe, and of a lifetime of unspoken tragedies. Despite his average age, wisps of gray had begun to leech into a few strands of his otherwise inky-pitch hair, as well as his delicately manicured scruff of a beard. His eyes, as equally dark as an abysmal void, were regularly devoid of any recognizable emotion - he was oftentimes lost in thought, and gave little regard to those around him that he deemed unworthy of his time (which seemed to be the majority of those he met). Owing to a rather severe case of narcissism, the good doctor dressed the part of a man that enjoyed the finer luxuries of life (although this wasn't necessarily the case). His clothing identified him as a man of supposed class, and despite it's general formality he had found no more comfortable garment. There were also two integral items that were always on his person: a road-worn but reliable leather satchel and an elaborately engraved silver flask.

[tab=Personality]LIKES -

  • Otto is a complex man, simply put. In his life there are not many things that he can actually say (with a straight face) that he loves, but there are a few choice whimsies that he fancies enough to admit enjoying.

  • First and foremost he is a scientist, and we all know what scientists do best: they study, they learn, they achieve. The degree at which they do these key things differs from man to man, but I'll be biased and say that Otto takes his duties to a higher level that even transcends normality. You could say he verges on obsessive, but the one thing that outranks all of his other scholarly tasks is the art of dissection. He's not picky about his subjects, and really any kind of Pokémon will do; with his aging Sneasel's aid it's sure to be an event filled with gore and a lustful sense of intrigue.

  • For reasons mentioned in his written history Otto is fond of barren, desolate landscapes which are preferably dressed in an everlasting blanket of snow. Like any stereotyped intellectual he's a recluse and prefers solitude or the company of his Sneasel over the burden other people seem to bring - they interfere with his work and only make nuisances of themselves, from the experiences he has had so far. So, his research team is comprised of he, himself and I.

  • I'm sure you've deduced by now the type of Pokémon he's partial to; it should be a simple thing to notice, since the area where he prefers to widdle away his time is a rather distinctive clue. If you've guessed Ice, then you'd be correct.

DISLIKES -

  • Otto cannot stand the incompetence of the undereducated. People that are included in this category are: small children, boisterous teenagers, idiotic adults and even some Pokemon. There's a certain level where he draws the line of his scrutiny, but usually he can tell who he will get along with within the first few minutes of their meeting.

  • Crowds are another thing he prefers to avoid, hence his chosen lifestyle. It's more of an instinctual discomfort than anything - in the pit of his stomach he begins to feel the juices churning, but he can handle this mild anxiety.

  • It's not that he dislikes warmth. Actually, Otto has been to many warmer areas around the world in order to study what those particular regions had to offer. It's just there are usually dense populations of people crowding the hotter territories; they disrupt the natural order of things, blah blah. I suppose you could say he his real problem is with people more than anything.

GOALS -
  • His goal is to figure out what his goals are. Right now he's just going where life takes him (which is roaming around some arctic shelf or unknown mountain range), and doesn't have one ideal objective in mind. He knows what he enjoys so all that's left to do now is continue on with that, then maybe some day he'll discover what encompasses all of his likes, i.e. his purpose.

FEARS -
  • There isn't much that scares this man, who so much resembles a slab of ice. But, if there could be one thing that did frighten him, it would be the thievery of his work. If his livelihood was taken away from him he would surely break down. But! Because it is unlikely that anyone would be able to unless they:

    • a) threw him in a cell for the rest of his life
                     or
    • b) killed him

    There isn't much to fear. Sure, death is kind of an inconvenience, but Otto knows it happens and will happen to him. Better to go out doing what you love than anything else.

OTHER -
  • I wouldn't peg him as evil, but Otto is as cold as the land he was born in. His intolerance for mistakes and stupidity really limit the pool of people he is able to get along with, though that's not to say he won't act with manners around someone distasteful. Not a rash man at all, the best person I could compare him to is, oh, Hannibal. Their being alike is completely incidental, but just like Dr. Lecter he acts with eloquence and sophistication, yet has an acute interest in the gorier side of life.
