TinySneasel

TinySneasel, also known by his nickname Reaper, is an adolescent Sneasel 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.

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, a trainer 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. The trainer had been pulled into this rift (nicknamed 'the warp') by accident some time previously, and had since learned how to access it at will. The trainer 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 her friend (the trainer who originally caught Reaper) 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 recently visited Oreburgh City and challenged Roark. Reaper defeated all of Roark's Pokemon and won Lory the Coal Badge. Reaper then got a teammate, a young Houndour pup named Bandit who shortly after evolved into a Houndoom. The team defeated Gardenia, added two more members (Don the Murkrow and Pepe the Stunky) and went on to defeat several more gym leaders. As the rest of Reaper's team have now evolved, Reaper is training hard in the hope that he will evolve too.

False Swipe
This move was taught to Reaper by the trainer who originally caught him. Reaper is still getting the hang of using this move, and usually prefers to use the moves he learned naturally.

Faint Attack
Reaper's favourite move to use.

Brick Break
Reaper was taught this move to help him fight against a wider variety of types. He finds it easier to use than False Swipe.

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.

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. Sneasel gender is indicated by the length of the head feather, and Reaper has a normal sized head feather but a tiny body. Trainers/Pokemon who know a lot about Sneasels, 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.

Reaper's original trainer has been left unnamed, as Reaper is from a crossover RP on Gaia Online and his RPer doesn't want to force the original trainer's RPer to join Poketwitter. The original trainer is actually a very well known trainer in Sinnoh.

As of 19 June 2009, Reaper is trying to give up eating meat and animal products. Since Sneasels are carnivorous, this is unlikely to end well.

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.
