Reaper

Reaper is an adolescent Weavile belonging to a Pokemon trainer named Lory. He is cute, extremely hyperactive, affectionate, sometimes a little disturbing in his cheerfulness and sometimes bratty, and a master of using the ol' puppy-dog eyes to get his own way. He is rather violent, but his conscience and fear of blood prevent him from doing anything really nasty.

Infancy
Reaper was born to a female Sneasel of a pack living in Acuity Lakefront, near Snowpoint City. He had several older siblings as his mother was one of the alpha couple of the pack. However, unlike his siblings who were all big and strong, Reaper was a runt. He was born undersized and his growth was very slow. At less than two months of age and barely weaned, he was abandoned by his mother, who saw his weakness as a threat to her position as the alpha female. The pack subsequently turned their back on the young Sneasel, and it looked as though he would die from starvation as he was too young and weak to fend for himself.

Capture
Fortunately for the young Pokemon, Thorton (an alternate universe one, NOT the one from Poketwitter!) was searching the area for a suitable Pokemon to capture and give to his friend as her starter Pokemon. He captured the abandoned Sneasel and took good care of him for a while then, in order to meet up with his friend, he travelled through a rift in space and time. Thorton had been pulled into this rift (nicknamed 'the warp') by accident some time previously, and had since learned how to access it at will. He passed through the warp to a world known as Gaia, his friend's home world. Reaper was very confused by the experience, and spent several hours panicking as he tried to adjust to his new home. However, he quickly began to bond with the trainer who had received him as a gift. This girl's name was Mallory, known by the nickname Lory, and she was a hybrid of human and 'imp', a native race to Gaia characterised by having wings on their heads. She proved to be as capable as any human at taking care of Pokemon, and Reaper soon began to see her as his new mother. As he began to mature and become less panicky, he was allowed out of his Pokeball more, and soon he was bigger and strong enough for training.

Training begins!
After allowing her new Pokemon a month to settle down and become used to her, Lory arranged with Alter!Thorton to travel back through the warp to spend time in Snowpoint City. She disguised her non-human traits and, following her friend, leapt through the proverbial rabbit hole to Sinnoh. When Reaper emerged from his Pokeball to see the familiar snowy landscape, he was thrilled, and he spent most of the excursion training. He and his trainer met Candice, who gave Lory tips on how to best train her Sneasel. Reaper gained eleven levels during the vacation, but a run-in with the much higher levelled wild Pokemon in the area knocked his confidence. Now, he is determined to train hard and become even stronger than the wild Snover who Wood Hammered his head and landed him in the Pokemon Center. He and Lory have earned six badges and were training to challenge Candice prior to joining Team Rocket.

Team Rocket and turning Shadow
A week or so prior to Team Rocket's attack on the Pokemon League, E4_Silver recruited Lory and Reaper to Team Rocket. He offered Reaper the chance to be cured of his fear of blood, which Reaper happily accepted. This 'cure' entailed being turned into a Shadow Pokemon, turning Reaper into a psychotic killing machine. Shortly after turning into a Shadow Sneasel, Reaper evolved into a Weavile. He rarely posted on Twitter while Shadow, and most of the tweets he made were violent in nature. He wasn't Shadow for long, though, as during the attack on the Pokemon League he was snagged and purified by Wes. Reaper seems traumatized by the whole incident, as he has rarely tweeted since purification and has on at least one occasion burst into tears because of the things he did and his trainer's illness. However, he is still loyal to Team Rocket, as is Lory.

Swords Dance
Reaper loves this move. It mixes his passion for dancing with the ability to boost his already impressive Attack stat.

Night Slash
Reaper is currently incapable of using this move because of his fear of blood.

Brick Break
Reaper was taught this move to help him fight against a wider variety of types. He finds it easy to use and loves to use it to knock out prey.

Ice Punch
Reaper learned this attack because he couldn't deal damage effectively with Icy Wind. He finds Ice Punch much easier and more effective to use. It is currently his most powerful attack.

Personality
Reaper is a little on the sociopathic side. He delights in violence, and finds it hilarious when people get hurt, although his fear of blood sometimes triggers a panic attack in these circumstances. He is a jerkass to most people and particularly enjoys insulting and teasing his trainer, Lory, although he does feel remorse if he upsets her too much. Despite their vitriolic friendship, he is very protective of Lory and gets extremely angry if anyone other than him dares to insult her. Reaper has a few friends who he is nice to all the time, but most people get either tsun or dere mode depending on how he feels at the time. When depressed, he is usually nicer. He considers himself the alpha male of his 'pack' (Lory's Pokemon) and is very protective of his weaker teammates, although he is often verbally abusive towards them.

Trivia
Reaper is much smaller than average. This could either be due to dwarfism, failure to thrive as an infant, or a combination of both. His limbs are normally proportioned, suggesting that if he is a dwarf, it is due to growth hormone deficiency rather than achondroplasia.

Due to his unusual size, many people find it hard to tell Reaper's gender. Weavile gender is indicated by the length of the ear feathers, and Reaper has very long feathers but a tiny body. Trainers/Pokemon who know a lot about Weavile, however, can tell that Reaper is male. He is not upset when people mistake him for a girl, and sometimes likes to deliberately confuse people in this respect.

Reaper is very hyperactive, and has been forbidden from consuming anything sugary without his trainer's supervision. NEVER give him caffeine.

In summer 2009, Reaper tried to give up eating meat and animal products. He failed, and since then has become far more vicious and no longer has a problem with being a carnivore.

Reaper has a British accent (specifically English RP), which is unnoticeable to humans but obvious to other Pokemon and in his writing style. He also quite likes tea, but is only allowed caffeine free kinds.

Due to influence from Lory and her brother, Reaper is interested in goth culture, and specifically identifies himself as a 'perky goth'. He never quite grasped the link between goths and depression, and has in the past weasel war danced his way cheerfully around the Lost Tower while his trainer sat upon a gravestone and sipped tea.

As may be expected from a teen, Reaper often looks at NSFW images online. Lory has set a parental filter on his laptop, but being of a species notorious for their intelligence and sneakiness, he has quickly found ways to bypass it.

Reaper wishes he was a lesbian and not a hetero, he wouldn't have to mess with men and all their come and go, and all their awful facial hair and yucky machismo. He hates that damn machismo.

Reaper once injured Lory, making her bleed so heavily that she had to go to hospital. She has a bleeding disorder. Since then, Reaper has had a phobia of blood.

Despite his violent nature, Reaper rarely manages to strike the killing blow on prey himself, and usually hunts in tandem with his teammates, chasing prey out of their hiding places so the larger Pokemon can kill them.
