Profile information for my Poke Combat Academy character, Seto Arashi.
Hope I did this right....^///^;

Pokemon © whoever the hell owns it.
Name: Seto Arashi
Species: Kirlia
Type: Psychic
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Orientation: Straight
Birthplace: Hoenn, currently living near the PCA in Kanto
Relationship Status: Single
Accent: Unknown
Team: Aegis
Position: Leader
Ability: Trace
Moveset:
Start - Confusion, Teleport, Will-o-wisp, Double team
Freshmen - Facade, Reflect, Magical leaf, Future Sight
Sophomore - Ice Punch, Light screen, Destiny bond, Psychic
Junior - Signal Beam, Shock wave, Hypnosis, Shadow ball
Known Relatives:
Seishi Arano (Older brother, estranged - Gardevoir)
Junsei Arano (Father, estranged - Gallade)
Miyako Arano (Mother, estranged - Gardevoir)
Kanae Mayashi (Aunt, Mother's sister - Shiny Gardevoir)
Appearance: Seto stands at about 4'11" in height. His figure is very slender due to his species, but it's still fit. His hair's done in an odd style, closely resembling the typical Kirlia style, though the sides of the hair curve forward in what what could almost be considered a bit of a gothic bob, for lack of a better term. As for clothing, he wears a black button-down shirt with sleeves that reach about halfway down his forearms and the tails left hanging free and sticking out in a kind of bastard imitation of the Kirlia "skirt". He also wears a black strip of cloth wound around his neck several times as if it were a bandage, with a round, bluish stone secured to the front. Pants-wise, he wears a pair of black cargo pants that reach down to just above his "feet".
Personality: Seto's a rather soft-spoken individual, though not to the extent that he's really distant or detached. He's a very warm, caring 'mon who has a soft spot for those few people he considers close friends. He has a very calm, even-tempered nature, and is seldom seen angry or overly worked-up; however, he's also very protecive of his close friends and is quick to step in if they're being treated unfairly or if they're intentionally hurt. He's a very bright student, often scoring well academically and taking his and his team's training rather seriously. He often spends what time he isn't training either off by himself, idling and lost in thought, or with his teammates just hanging out and being random. In spite of his serious approach to training, he's actually very flexible and easy to get along with. He comes from a VERY old and very powerful family of landowners (they would've been considered "nobility" in the past, and still hold fast to many of their old traditions), although he very carefully hides this fact from everyone (going so far as to hide his real last name) due to a deeply personal event that led to his fleeing the family and taking shelter elsewhere at a fairly young age. Related to this, he also has very strong ghost-type traits in him, which he also hides. Only his teammate and childhood friend Sunisha knows about his past.
In battle, Seto's a pretty capable leader, coolly and calmly co-ordinating strategies that are often quite effective, if occasionally somewhat...unconventional.

I don't really see any problems with the characer, except that there isn't really such a thing as "start" moveset. Some characters get egg moves but they're rare, and they are incorporated right into their freshman moveset. The general consensus is before entering the PCA the characters have a small or no combat training at all (much like today: if you entered a martial arts school would you know right from the bat some of their attacks? I think not). Another thing: you could explain a little better what are his "strong ghost-type traits": we just have a few things against deltas and hybrids, altough as far as I can tell this character is doing okay.
Aha.....thanks for the review~ ^////^
As for the start moveset, I got that from using a layout that I found in
's old profile for his character Aphrodite...I just kinda used it as a template and didn't really thing too much about it. ^////^;;;
Also, by the same token it wouldn't make a tremendous amount of sense for a 'mon to grow up with absolutely no abilities....I kind of see the starter set as things that they kind of learned on their own as they grew up....not that they mastered any of the moves, but that they might happen to have some knowledge or use of them (in Seto's case, will-o-wisp is a move he's known since he was very little).
To answer about the ghost-type traits, he's not a hybrid or a delta. In Seto's family lineage there are some very powerful ghost-type members throughout the family tree(almost all of whom have left the family to either persue their own aims, or to represent the family's interests in the ghost realm), and the ghost-type moves and abilities they posessed got passed down, occassionally cropping up in certain ones of their descendants. It's more or less random wether or not a child in this family will have the traits or not....Seto's older brother Seishi for example either doesn't have them or doesn't have them strongly enough to influence him at all. Seto, however, got more or less the full dose and manifested these traits fairly early in life, things like being able to hear the dead if he focuses slightly (and sometimes when he doesn't want to), having the ability to travel to the ghost realm without the aid of a pure ghost-type, and gaining the ability to use ghost-type moves with relatively little effort. (One thing he used to do a lot when he was little was play games with will-o-wisp, making little light shows to amuse himself...after he met Sunisha around this time, he used them to entertain her as well.)
As I've said, though, after he fled the family he's done his best to turn his back on that aspect of himself, avoiding the use of ghost-type moves except if he feels that there is absolutely no other option. If he's pushed enough, the aura he gives off will shift, becoming more ghostlike. It's not too noticeable to most, although those 'mon with extrasensory abilities (psychic- and ghost- types mainly) will notice the shift pretty quickly.
Hope this kinda clears up any misunderstandings. ^////^

Oop, forgot to finish the post. ^////^;
So basically Seto's not a hybrid or a delta or anything of the like...he just happens to have very strong ghost blood in him. ^////^
Needless to say, Tomoyo senses something odd about him, and this piques her curiosity (not in a romantic way).
