Dawson

A blind Dewott that wanders alone, surrounded by the darkness that he nows fears and enjoys.

Personality
Dawson is cryptic, serious and not one to joke with. He usually takes others with suspicion and judges them primarily by the tone they use. Dawson is also fiercely independent, using his remaining senses to move around and wander the region on foot. Dawson trains very diligently, pushing himself to the extreme. When alone in an unfamiliar setting, Dawson tends to withdraw into himself and curls into a ball, incarcerated. When questioned about his blindness, Dawson persists that he both fears and anticipates the day he can see again. Dawson uses Razor Shell as his signature move, typical of his species.

Dawson usually focuses primarily on helping others, but sees himself as 'nosey' for trying to poke into the affairs of others. Dawson often laughs at himself for this, stressing his 'stupidity' for being too reasonable to others. Dawson usually speaks very calmly, not willing to add abbreviations to his words unless he is upset or unsure of himself. He also tends to tease those he is more comfortable with, such as Pokémon younger than him. Dawson is very sensitive to others' feelings, but his curious side often shows whenever someone proposes something he wants to try. Dawson also enjoys gardening.

History
Dawson and his siblings lived in a forest with his parents. His siblings were constantly being taken by humans as Unova starters, causing Dawson to regard most humans with detachment and fear. A fire raged through the forest one night, killing his parents. Dawson's eyes were singed shut from the smoke and flames, effectively blinding him. Dawson was disoriented after the incident, eventually lapsing into a sense of guilt after finding that he was the only survivor of the calamity. Unable to return to the forest and distrustful of the humans who had saved him, Dawson escaped the Pokémon Center with his acute sense of direction and exceptional memory, using the stream to take him away. He does not like being reminded of what happened, but when required he tries to explain.

Dawson also likes to interact with those younger than him, feeling an innate urge to protect them the same way his older siblings did in the fire. He has also been priviledged in the fact that he has heard voices of Legendaries whenever he stops in his travels. As of now, he has witnessed a quarrel between Palkia and Kyurum. After a while Dawson kindled a love of Micle berries and began planting them everywhere. His first test as a blind Pokémon was by a Froslass named Kate, whom he voluntarily let her test Night Shade on. It opened a massive Pandora's box in Dawson but also forced him to face up to his inner fears of revisiting what had happened.

His first encounter with human technology came in the form of a television, whom he had heard humans appearing in. After watching a comedy skit named 'Four Men', Dawson realised he enjoyed listening to the sounds of the television and began visiting the house he was invited to watch in. The host was a Shiny Floatzel named Star, who he had befriended over their common topic of Green.

Dawson has also been caught up by the destruction of Cerebus and sees him as a vicious creature after his destroying of Castelia City. He received a Berry Pouch by some humans after helping them evict their boats when the destruction began.

Relationships
-Dawson treats Sylveon as his friend, after she and Kienan helped him in the forest.

-He has also spoken to Victini, meeting him after he got lost in the town Dawson was headed for.

-Dawson shares a love-hate relationship with Wade, who often antagonises and laughs at his disability.

-Dawson has befriended Koza and Kate, but gets awfully shy when Koza teases him in Kate's form.

Trivia
-Dawson was originally an Oshawott but the writer scrapped this idea due to the lack of expansion.

-Dawson is anonymous as part of the AnonPokemon RP project. This was put in to remind other roleplayers NOT to launch a manhunt for Dawson's writer after some fellow writers 'freaked out' upon seeing Dawson following and mentioning them out of courtesy.

-The handle 'BlindingShell' is a pun of Dawson's sight loss and also connotes the speed of the move Razor Shell when utilised.

-The name 'Dawson' has no particular meaning, but Dawson stated that it was because he was the 4th of 26 children and his parents named them off by the human alphabet.

-Dawson plants Micle berries wherever he goes. He usually has one on paw and gives it away whenever necessary.

-Ironically Micle Berries raise accuracy of attacks to 100% once and with Dawson's condition he laughs at the fact that he does not need it.
