HISTORY: Having been born in the midst of a family of worshipers near the Snowpoint Temple, his parents thought he'd stick around and become a worshiper like them - guess what? They were wrong.

Everything seemed according to plan until one day, a young Speck, while playing near the cliffs surrounding that area, inadvertedly fell from one of them. He escaped almost uninjured (being a Bronzong he's not particularly fragile), but one injury he did get - he cracked his bell (head). From that moment on, things became, huh... a little different.

Used to their usually calm, peaceful soon, after Speck's accident his parents now had an hyperctive, happy-go-lucky son at hands, with some... rather strange peculiarities when it came to personal tastes and overall ideals... Much different than the son they were used to, and certainly a huge blow for the plans they had for his future.

His interest started to derive from the usual praying and worshiping to other things that pleased him the most - he started to acquire a odd taste for, uh... equally odd stuff/items; he started to learn how to play electronic instruments; developed a taste for comics and rock balads; etc... well, not particularly what his parents had in mind.

Over at school, things weren't a bed of roses either - he stood out from the rest of his classmates and overall children from the small community he lived in due to his awkard, very peculiar quirks and manerisms. Thus, he didn't make many friends during his school years.

Finally, one day he decided to leave the secluded place he lived in, with the reluctant permission of his parents. He wanted to see the World, he wanted to meet new people, new ideas, see new places. His life was just too... still for him back at home.

For some time he traveled the World with just a handfull of coins he usually got from some street performances, his guitar, some personal items of his liking and a trusty backpack. Finally, after meeting a whole lot of people, making new friends and seeing new places, he decided to finally settle on this small, seemingly peaceful town, but with a lot of new people to meet, and certainly with no shortage of things to do, that's for sure - Pokette Town. He hopes to make a load of new friends, and so that people actually get to know him better without judging a book by it's cover - it's kinda hard to do that once you're constantly travelling from place to place.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

HOBBIES: Speck looooooves playing the guitar, so much that over time, and with enough work, he even made a second guitar himself for his extra pair of hands in his head, from spare parts he gets from fixing other people's electronic insruments. But he loves playing all sorts of instruments, really, he just likes electric guitars the most.

He enjoys a good old video game from time to time, as long as he has someone to play with. He doesn't like to be all alone, but he finds hard making friends when everyone thinks you're a total creep - not that he's too much concerned about what other people think of him, though.

He also has a particular taste for collecting things, especially stamps and comics. Other collections of his are a little more awkard, like his collection of rocks, dead insects and animals in jars and a collection of tiny, shiny bells he simply adores (I wonder why? eue). He's also fond of gathering strange, peculiar and rare items other people would find awkard.

Enjoys puzzles - he's particularly fond of the Rubix Cube, and usually tries to solve it out of fun or when bored. He usually uses his two set of hands, one cube in each. I mean, not that he actually solves them... >_>

He learned how to do some simple tricks with cards while travelling through the land. He also happened to learn how to juggle, so he sometimes uses his Shadow Ball move to keep himself distracted.

He also likes star gazing a lot, that's one of the few habits he still has from when he was back home - he usually climbs to the roof for this. One thing he also likes to do is wander town in search of someone to pester hang out with. You'll also probably find him in the local bar, probably playing some darts or billiards.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

JOB: Fixes almost every malfunctioning/broken instrument you'll give him (providing you trust him enough, which is rare.) But don't be fooled, he actually knows what he's doing, especially when it comes to electronic ones. More recently he decided he should focus on other instruments, since most of the folks in town own acustic ones.

He runs his very, veryyyy small business from his backyard. Sometimes he also gets some cash out of playing in some small bars, in town or its surroundings.

But who am I kidding, he's mostly an hobo. |D *shot*

-----------------------------------------------------------------

FAVOURITE FOOD: Scrambled Eggs, Pizza, Noodles,... he's not very picky, and he can't really chose one favourite food either. He usually eats fast food, or food that is easy to do, since he sucks at cooking. For more complex stuff, he has to ask some help to a friend who actually knows what he/she's doing.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

FAVOURITE BERRY: Enigma Berry

-----------------------------------------------------------------

CATCHPHRASE: He usually yells "LET THE BELLS TOLL!!! >8D" when excited or about to do something he likes - this inevitably scares some folks off. He's also particularly fond of the expression "Ringing any bells?".

Usually starts a phrase with "Eh!", or just with a snicker. His signature laugher ("NHEH EH EH!") is probably the closest thing to his catchphrase though.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

ACCESSORIES: Usually wanders with his chest uncoverd, since he can't feel whether it's hot or cold, and also because it's hard for him to fit his massive head through anything. He will, however, try to use a sleeveless shirt when he needs to be more formal.

Usually seen with some ripped jeans, army boots, his skull belt and a bandanna tied arround one of his legs - he puts this bandanna on his head when performing. He will also tie bandages around his waist, because he thinks it looks cool.

Also owns an arm bracelet he got from one of his journeys in his right arm, a chess wrist band on his left wrist, and a necklace his parents gave him once he left. He never takes this necklace off, no matter what - it reminds him of them, and his home.

Some of the items he will sometimes carry arround as well are his guitar, one (or more) Rubix Cubes and a coin that resembles the one a Meowth has in it's head (uses it has a charm).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

FUN FACTS:
1) Speck likes to play harmless jokes on his friends and even on people he doesn't know but think are possible new friends;

2) Despite his deranged, creepy look, Speck is a very friendly, happy-go-lucky and outgoing guy, and will see virtually anyone as a possible friend;

3) One does not let Speck down easily, and it's almost impossible for him to hold grudges of someone, or be upset by some insult thrown at him. He cares little of what people think of him and his quirks, and will always face adversity with a smile on his face. However, when he does get sad, it usually starts to rain - he doesn't know why though, perhaps because he's a Bronzong;

4) He speaks with a hoarse voice, and speaks very fast and loudly when excited. His laughter is equally hoarse ("NHEH EHEHEHEHEHEH"). Speck's voice's similar to this www.youtube.com/watch?v=686tHI…. Only without the huh... constant swearing. (yeah, I totally made him sound like Gamzee );

5) Loves shiny things. They're mezmerizing to him, he just wants to add them to his ever growing collection - he'll never steal though, he'll just... most likely drool over them and stare at them for hours. So if he stares at you for hours on end, see if you have something with you that's sparkling his attention before calling the authorities;

6) Speck's attention span is very short. Make sure you explain things to him very, very closely, because otherwise he'll most likely mess up all the information you just told him.

7) He twitches from time to time. Maybe because he's hyperactive. He's always doing something, he never stops and sleeps very little time (hence the dark contour arround his eyes.) He's always the first to wake up in town.

8) Can control his separate set of hands independantly from the main one. Often does more than one task at a time, but is rather clumsy at it.

9) Speck has a crack on the left side of his head (bell).

10) He can twist his head in every angle, and actually spin it all round - this clearly isn't helping you much, is it Speck? =A='''

11) His father is a Bronzong like him, and his "mother" a Froslass (she's not his true mother, and Speck knows that, but he will vehemently say that she really is his mother, because she's the only motherly figure he ever knew). They rarely ever visit him, since he's the one that usually travels to Snowpoint City to spend a couple of days with them.

12) Has a white star sided by two stripes tatooed in his right arm. He also has two stripes in his other arm (as seen on the app). Made them during his journey across the land.

13) Strangely enough, despite losing track of things and places a being very easily distracted, always knows what time it is. He doesn't know how he does it, but he's basically a walking clock.

14) Is starting to get the hang out of his psychic powers. He can already levitate small stuff around.

15) Speck had an irrational fear of girls and anything associated with romance, but that has been gradually changing. Still feels rather uneasy from time to time, especially in public. Gets flustered easily.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

MOVESET:

1) Zen Headdbutt: He'll rarely ever attack someone, or something, but when he does need to, this is his main way of defense. He takes advantage of the remaining meditation skills his father once taught him;

2) Protect: Having 4 arms always comes in "handy" (got it? 8P), especially when he needs to avoid attacks, dodge from things thrown at him, or when someone dear to him gets in trouble;

3) Shadow Ball: Rarely ever uses this move in combat. He just knows it because he wanted to know how to juggle stuff, and thus asked someone to teach it to him in one of his journeys. He likes to entertain his friends with silly juggle tricks.

4) Rain Dance: He usually can't use this move consciously, only when he manages to focus for long enough (which is rare, since he's hyperactive). The only time he can use this move, it happens to be unwillingly, since it only does so when he's feeling really sad. That is really rare, but when it happens, it usually rains for hours, or until he feels better.

5) Psychic: ???? His psychic powers seem to be ressurfacing, but he doesn't have controll over them, so it's not like its a usable move.
