Prin the Prinplup

Prin is a traveling researcher with an affinity for legendaries, drawn to the Astrea region for its scores of legends and historical sites to explore. He is presently unaffiliated with any guild, hoping to find a mentor to complete contracts with.
== Appearance ==
Prin sports a pair of black, square-framed glasses and a plaid green bowtie, given to him as a gift before his big move. The glasses are needed to improve his poor sight, which he's had since a very young age. The bowtie is one of his most prized possessions, providing a boost in confidence in otherwise stressful situations, and he's comfortable with only the closest of his friends handling it. Besides those two items, he's practically indistinguishable from any other Prinplup, with the characteristic dual head crest connecting to a small yellow beak.
== Biography ==
Prin was hatched in the Johto region, where he gained a thirst for knowledge from the many myths and legends scattered throughout its quaint towns of old. He knew from then on he would dedicate to studying ledendaries, with the goal of meeting them himself and possibly befriending them, aiding the public in understanding and respecting their power. He carries one of many small notepads on him at all times; to him, there's always something exciting around the corner when you least expect it. 
He also carries an aptitude for technology, fitting for his nerdy appearance. As the Johto region is sparse in cutting-edge advancements, Prin is deeply fascinated by anything new and complex, and will tinker with them at will to understand their underlying components.
Upon being sent to the Astrea region by his old, unnamed mentor, Prin was quickly enthralled by the locales and lore present within, and decided to settle there permanently. The coast of Lightpoint is his residence of choice, living alone in a temporary rental property on the beach. There he met his two best friends, Naruga the Noivern and Etlan the Cinccino, with whom he gets into various hijinks in between research ventures. One day he hopes to settle with a roommate and find a new mentor to aid in his quest to meet the legendaries. 
== Personality ==
Prin is reserved and rather quiet among those he's intimidated or nervous around, but he's a bubbly open book to those he trusts most. He's easily flustered by those he admires, yearning for their approval and affection. Afraid of confrontation, Prin tends to keep a sassy assertiveness buried unless absolutely necessary, or when joking among friends. 
He aims to serve and please, doing his best to make those around him happy and earn their affection. Above all else, he wants the approval of his friends, their love and companionship, and he will happily return it in spades. Around legendaries, he aims to be courteous and respectful, like a subject is to their king, although it's hard to hide his pure excitement and admiration.
== Moveset ==
* Bubblebeam
* Flail
* Double Team
* Mist
Prin is averse to combat, carrying a moveset specializing in light ranged shots and evasive maneuvers. He can fire off a Bubblebeam from a comfortable distance, or make a clean getaway with an  environment-shrouding Mist. Double Team lowers his chances of damage in a stressful scenario, and, as a last resort, he can Flail to get an attacker off of him and permit escape. His Mist also comes in handy among allies, providing clean cover for which to launch attacks or get away from the scene.
=== Torrent ===
Prin can strike harder in emergencies, revealing the modest extent of his otherwise pitiful strength.
== Trivia ==

* He secretly admires Lugia above all other legendaries, thanks to his upbringing in Johto, and dreams of being able to befriend it one day.
* He tends to develop crushes for big dragons, but will never admit it unless teased.
