Description

I have been meaning to redo Shoal's app for a while. My drawing style has change a lot since the start of HPM. I also did some minor changes to the details, but no worries: Shoal is still Shoal.♥
Shoal's old app for the curious: fav.me/d4r4fxp

-----

Name:
Shoal Crino

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Pokemon: Cradily

Height: 5’7”

Bodystyle: chubby/muscular

Birthday: May 10th

Home Island: Rapture Retreat

Personality: Shoal is a rather laid back and sociable fellow with a healthy since of humor. He spent quite a long time growing up trying to be someone he wasn't and from that experience has developed a philosophy to accept everyone as they are, regardless of their quirks. This rather open minded nature leads him to generally be difficult to anger. He does still have his buttons though and even if he doesn't say anything, It's usually pretty easy to tell when they've been pushed. Ever since Shoal started living on his own he also became a bit of a slacker. However; this doesn’t mean he lies around all day (except when he's catching fish to stock in his shop). Shoal is always hoping to find something fun to do and loves a bit of friendly competition.

History: Shoal grew up in a southern port town. As a young lileep he was often teased by the other boys his age because his pink hair and round face gave him a feminine appearance. Rather than ignore the taunts he found himself doing whatever he could to try to make them stop. He always kept his hair as short as possible and kept it hidden under a cap. For years he was constantly picking fights and taking dares to try to prove his masculinity and gain attention.

Deep down a part of Shoal knew how ridiculous he was being, but it never really stopped him until he turned 20. Once he reached this two decade milestone he found himself spending a lot of time reflecting on his life so far. Had he achieved anything with his life so far other than growing older? Did all his stunts to earn praise from his friends really mean anything? Could he really call them friends if he had keeping proving himself to them to maintain their friendship? The only answer he could ever come to was “No.”

At first this realization was near heartbreaking for Shoal, but as it sunk in more it began to feel liberating. He didn’t need to care what they thought. In fact, he didn’t need to care what anyone thought about him. Best of all he sure as hell didn’t need to try so damn hard to try and change what others thought about him! Shoal was like a new person. He stopped trying to show off all the time. He was much more relaxed and there was more confidence in his mannerisms.

At 23 Shoal left his hometown. By that time he started growing out his hair and even became kind of fond of its color. He also gained a bit of weight due to developing a less active life style. He didn’t seem to notice or care though, or at least he he acted like he didn't. He traveled from place to place with no real destination for 3 years, taking up various odd jobs and evolving along the way.

Just about the time he grew tired of traveling he found himself at Raccolto Town. Shoal managed a buy a small house near the southern beach shore of Rapture Retreat. When he went to move in he discovered a stray skitty had chosen a small, old cupboard as her shelter and refused to leave. While he frustrated by her presence, Shoal felt sorry for the poor cat and place some fish from his dinner in the cupboard for her. She has been at his side, stealing his food ever since.


Job: Business owner

Shop Name: Trinket Fish |Stock Type: Fish, seashells, misc items that wash up on the beach.

Cat Race: Skitty

Cat’s name: Chimera

Talents:
- Swimming....sort of. If Shoal's not careful, he'll sink like a rock, because well he is one. Thankfully, since cradily live at the bottom of the ocean, Shoal can hang out on the seafloor without worry of drowning.

- It's been years since he's been in a scrap, but Shoal is pretty confident that he could still hit pretty hard if he had too. (Whether or not he is still agile enough to land those hits is a bit more doubtful.)

- Does fishing count?

Funfacts:
- Shoal is fascinated by infatuated with eye colors. A person's eye color is one of the first things he notices about them. Observing how the color of a person's eyes look in relation to their completion and hair color is really interesting to him. (For example, in the case of his own eyes he loves how their golden color is intensified by the contrast of his dark skin.)

-He doesn't realize how easily complementing a person's eyes can be interpreted as flirting.

-Shoal's eyes glow in the dark slightly, but this doesn't really help him see more then a few inches.

-Shoal is pansexual, although he is not actively aware of it. In fact, he never really much much thought into romance at all until if finally clicked into him that he had feelings for the lovely Anemone.

-Shoal has what seems like an irrational dislike/fear of qwilfish. It links back to a childhood event, but he'll probably only share the details with friends. ;)

Ability: Suction Cups

Move set:
Rest - For those days when he feels like lazing around
Stockpile - He has a hidden little "hoard" of items he has collected over the years that he he likes too much to sell. His gold ring and armlet are both from this collection.
Facade - Learned in his teens when he tried so hard to come off as a "kick ass" tough guy; sees little use anymore
Protect - Mostly uses it to defend others.


Loves: gold jewelry, topaz, gold ore, potpie, gemstones, wine, large fish

Likes: small and medium fish, potatoes, iced tea, coffee, shells, corn, good cooking in general, beer, sunflowers

Dislikes: milk, bitter foods, lumber, perfume, stone, junk ore, bad cooking, QWILFISH
