Linoone



Made of goes fast. Dead. Hungs around with Banette because they did the whole getting caught thing for a while. He spents almost all of his time either wandering or visiting his children, and is aging entirely too fast. He has science to thank for that. Awkward at parties.

History

 * Arrived way back when and spent a good bit of time trying to go fast. Really fast. Like, stupid racing bullet trains and running on water fast.

Birth
Spent two years wild in Hoenn and got caught by a sweet old lady.

Old Lady times

 * The old lady was more interested in companions than glorified cockfights. He spent about 14-15 years doing that. Linoone, Banette and two other pokemon lived with her.


 * Not a lot to speak of otherwise. Good times had by all, until she died.

Jerk Son times

 * The son of the old lady, and a jackass.
 * Linoone and the others spent two years fighting and earning badges for said son before the original four decided to run. During this time Linoone was sent off to a breeder, as the son assumed he was simply too old to be of use. Apparently this resulted in two children, one of whom has taken over his twitter account since his death.

Back to the wild (times)

 * Linoone and the other three separated at some point over the following couple of years. Most of that time was spent looking for the rumored children and trying to make up for the two decades of captivity.

Life and Twitter

 * Linoone spent most of his time on the move. He had a cave stocked with items that have caught his fancy over the last few years. The cave is currently possessed by Banette and has been filled with furniture of questionable origin. He has developed a nasty habit of getting himself into dangerous situations and all but ignoring attempts to assist him. RocketMafia discovered that the aging was causing Adel to go blind rather quickly, and by the time of his death he was almost completely blind.

Rhubarb

 * After arguing with himself and Houndour over whether or not he should meet his children knowing he was going to die soon he stumbled into his son. The situation was made worse when Adel was challenged to a race by another linoone during Adel's peak level of fitness. Adel won the race by a large margin. Especially considering the other linoone ran into a boat and snapped his neck. Adel buried the body and had an emotional breakdown, made worse by Banette. That death was the tipping point leading Adel to realize that he was not long for the world and needed his children to know him. Adel was instrumental in getting his children to meet each other and him by bringing their trainers together. Over the next few months, the last of Adel's life, he traveled with them. Rhubarb met the rest of Poketwitter through his father's account and was promptly made fun of for seeming emotionless and naive. He has since worked to improve that.


 * Linoone was eventually caught by his son's trainer during an attempt to protect Banette}, who the trainers attempted to destroy after learning he likes to stuff dead things. Rhubarb, Linoone's son, fled with his father's pokeball. He was eventually caught again and both Rhubarb and Adel were released. They lived together for some time before Adel died quietly off twitter. Rhubarb and his sister buried their father in the underwater cave Adel had moved most of this things to. Since then Rhubarb has taken over his Twitter account and is traveling with [[_Charizard_. He also has a borderline obsession with fish, berries and now jerky. Rhubarb runs as long and as often as he is able and has become addicted to the "Runner's High," complaining that if he stops running for too long he feels terrible. He seems to be a perfectionist and remarkably inquisitive. He questions anything and everything relentlessly and is currently being taught basic emotions and appropriate reactions by Charizard and PokeTwitter. He had a habit of stating exactly what came to mind, which caused some confusion and hurt feelings.

Linoone's Death

 * Adel died without any attention from his friends for some time. Rhubarb hid it well, and avoided the question of death until pressed to answer. Since then he has taken Banette, Charizard and Buisels to visit the grave. Buisels planted a berry tree in the cave. Giovanni, the man responsible for increasing Adel's metabolic rate, has also expressed distress over the fate of Adel and has made attempts to befriend Rhubarb, which has been met with cold distrust. Rhubarb has been mourning for his father, but does not quite know how to express it. He travels to the grave regularly and sleep on top of it.

Adel's injuries of note include:
 * Running into:
 * Trees.
 * Rocks.
 * A boat.
 * Popped lung
 * Injured leg(s)
 * Hit with a tree branch by Banette
 * Spent a day or so unconscious after being involved in a solarbeam incident (Lake Valor Incident) with Houndour
 * Blindness.
 * Death.


 * When he first arrived, Linoone spent most of his time trying to do as much as he possibly could. Most of his stunts resulted in the above injuries, including an attempt to run on water and an attempt to fly using homemade wings and duct tape. Once he realized just how old he was and that his time was limited he decided he had wandered enough and it was time to find his children.


 * Rhubarb, on the other hand, as jokingly referred to as a robot by PokeTwitter at first because he seemed to be utterly emotionless. His experiences and the death of his father have turned him away from being a trainer's pokemon. He has also recently started flirting with the idea of prolonging his life after learning that Charizard is 25 and not yet middle-aged while Adel was incredibly old even before the SCIENCE! at 21. Upon learning that it would cause him to slow down considerably he turned the idea down.

Increased aging

 * Linoone spent several weeks attempting to artificially increase his speed, eventually turning to RocketMafia, who used previously mentioned SCIENCE! Linoone may have known about the possible side effects of the treatment before hand, but made no indication it concerned him. Buizels later pointed out that, with a dramatically increased metabolism, Linoone's aging was also dramatically increased.


 * This sparked conflict among the active pokemon, with Houndour arguing that humans were to blame while others including Buizels argued that Linoone had made a choice.


 * Linoone turned down all attempts to assist him with his aging, and claimed that he will not do anything to remedy the problem. RocketMafia later revealed that it would be too little too late when Adel had a change of heart. Whether it was stupid pride, bullheadedness or something else is unclear.

Side-effects

 * Linoone is graying, his joints are causing him trouble, and his vision faded into blindness. He has since died peacefully.

Attempts to find children

 * Linoone has found them and now spends as much time as he can with them, working to create some sort of meaningful relationship. Since his death his daughter has returned to her trainer and a life of battling while his son has left his trainer and taken over the Twitter account for his father.

Relationships with other pokemon

 * Linoone is at least friendly toward the other pokemon, but rarely deals with them in person. He may or may not be trying to act out his desire to be a father on the younger pokemon (and poorly).


 * Terrible sense of humor.


 * Rhubarb is very much his father's son and is at least as awkward as Adel, though he is much more outspoken.
