Residence: 

Originates from the premises of Parfum Palace, traveled Kalos with his trainer until ending up on Lumiose City on his own. Does not move around much, usually uses the deserted back alleys for moving around rather than the busy main streets.

Now lives in a small apartment located along Lumiose's South Boulevard.

Can sometimes be found sparring with wild pokemon on the routes around Lumiose during nighttime.

PokeHuman Stats


Occupation:

Blacksmith/Craftsman. He works in a small workshop in Lumiose, making metal into jewelry and various other decorative objects he then sells, giving part of the profits to the shop owner. For now, he's coping since his skill makes the shopkeeper want to keep him around. He doesn't know how long this temporary peace will last, but he's trying to get along with his human life upholding the job he's managed to land. His employer, knowing the man has no other place to go (but not knowing his employee is actually a human Aegislash), is not the fairest when it comes to how much of the profits from Agni's work goes where.

As time has gone by, Agni's taken control of the workshop as the previous manager retired and is now the owner. In addition to his previous job he's taken use of the old furnace he discovered in the back of the shop, starting to help repair broken and/or injured steel type pokemon that come his way. He builds spare parts and repairs existing armor/claws/horns and the like, taking pride in his contribution to the pokehuman society.

Town of Residence:

Lumiose City

Appearance/Height:

As a human, Agni sports 6'2 of height, blonde, swept-back hair and curiously violet eyes with yellow rings around the pupils. In his pokemon form his height decreases a bit, remaining at the normal Aegislash size at around 5'7 from hilt to tip of the blade.

He has a very formal posture, does not hunch, and keeps his appearance as clean and well-kept around people as he can manage. Although, under his clothes his pale-ish skin is riddled with small cuts and scars, as he's done a lot of battling as a pokemon and his blade is not as pristine as it used to be. However, he simply considers them as memories and achievements.


Personals


Personality: Reserved | Doubtful | Self-conscious | Careful 

Agni's a bit of a handful to deal with if you don't know him from beforehand. It's not like he's rude or uncaring (quite the opposite) but the alienation from everyday contact with people aside from his job has made the man a bit of a loner. 

He's polite and wary of his words, not one to express his opinions too harshly or too quickly to avoid conflict within conversations. However he does possess a lot of knowledge from his travels and previous life, so upon the chance you have a question, he will give you an answer just as extensive as you want. Deep down he's a kind, warmhearted soul, but it will take some time to uncover his core.





History:

Agni used to belong to a trainer, and is not, per say.. Abandoned.

Before he was a pokemon, he was a human living in Kalos during the war nowadays referenced and remembered in the tourist tours of Perfume Palace. As fate would play its part, the man met his maker in the battles, stabbed with a blade with which his soul bonded upon, causing the human to reincarnate as a Honedge, and to live a new life in a family of ghost pokemon without memory of his human life. For centuries he haunted the castle courtyards and its premises, to finally come upon a fateful day where a young pokemon trainer scaled the grounds with his parents, looking for a first friend to join his journey around the region. As it happened, the boy caught a Honedge.

Agni is a full-fletched battle pokemon to the core. Traveling Kalos with his human companion and later on a team of other mons and going through gym battles and eventually even the Kalos League, he eventually went through the final evolutionary stage from Doublade to Aegislash when his trainer found a Dusk Stone upon scaling the beautiful Glittering Caves. Sharing a good relationship with the young man, the ghost did not at all mind his life.

However, an unfortunate turn of events ended this time quite abruptly when the two and the rest of the team were exploring the rocky coastline of Kalos after returning victorious from their league championship challenge. Losing his footing, the trainer would have plummeted down a cliff if it wasn't for Agni grabbing his arm, holding him and trying to pull his owner up. Being in a panick-y state and not focusing on himself, the Aegislash forgot his own kind's tendency of eating out the lifeforce of those they take hold of.

When he finally managed to pull his owner up, he was already deceased.

Devastated by this unintended action, Agni made sure the rest of the team got found from the nearby pokecenter's doorstep the next morning, broke his own pokeball and fled into the wilderness. After chasing off numerous interested trainers wanting to add him to their teams, he finally stumbled upon the Pokemon Village after wandering about the region and trying to stay hidden. At first the Aegislash was not the least bit interested in the pokemon or their tales of a new invention called the Dittech, but eventually the thought of being able to go outside the village without being chased by humans won over, and he accepted.  He traveled around a bit before finally (ironically) settling into the busting city of Lumiose, finding his life as a craftsman paying off enough to keep him going. For now.

He knows that eventually he'll be forced to get his paperwork in order, if he wants to continue life in the human society. However, he's in denial of this fact and lives in the workshop he works at, often sleeping in a corner in his pokemon form and waking up before the shop owner comes in, pretending to have come to work early. Sometimes he just finds a quiet corner from the back alleys if nothing else helps.

EDIT:
After some time, Agni's managed to save up enough to get the funds to move into an actual apartment in Lumiose, off the streets. Along his life out in the alleys he encountered a pack of stray Espurrs, one of which in particular caught his attention. Now, he's adopted the little female cat as his daughter, living together with the girl acting as her adoptive father.

1 year later

Life in Lumiose has changed over time. Agni still has a home he shares with his daughter, and a stable job while she attends school to get an education in the human society. The two have adjusted blending in quite well and gained a circle of friends, to the point where they outwardly seem like a pretty ordinary 2-unit family. Future is looking brighter as it goes, and Agni's even started facing and getting over the old skeletons in his closet.


Extras: 

Due to what happened to his trainer, Agni's completely mortified by the thought of physical contact with people. He won't touch you, and expects you to return the favor. When walking he tends to dodge people, let them go first and generally just avoid touching anyone, ever. Don't take him not returning your attempted handshake as an offense, he's just too worried of hurting you if he did. In his pokehuman form at least, he wouldn't really be much of a threat to anyone. But since the past trauma, he doesn't trust himself enough to try.
This is also why he does not feel comfortable if people come too near. Accidents could happen.

Along time and help from friends, Agni's started slowly recovering from his fear. Handshakes and quick pats do not bother anymore, and a select few people can manage a hug without retaliation. He's still not comfortable with most of it.. But it's a step forward.

• Due to his real form being a ghost sword, senses are something Agni's struggling to cope with. Being able to feel, taste and smell things all of a sudden is a big culture shock for him and he still sometimes gets a bit overwhelmed. He gets very uncomfortable upon situations where he's encountered with any kind of strong sensations that he can't comprehend or has not previously felt. Spicy food and strong scents still make him tear up. Don't be mean and try to trick him into anything.
• Also due to having an actual face, he has problems adjusting to facial expressions connected with emotions to the point where some might consider him inconsiderate just due to the lack of expression on his face. Extreme things like laughing and crying are still things he doesn't fully understand and has trouble expressing if it's not completely involuntary.
• In pokemon form he does not require sleep or food. However, spending a lot of time like this will cause him to be extremely exhausted upon switching back to human.
• Eventually picked up his late trainer's last name.
• Is not a picky eater. Lives off what he can afford.
• The only time when he actually seems excited about something and forgets his worries is either working on a project, or battling. He's had slight problems adjusting 'commanding' himself rather than obeying a trainer, but nonetheless he enjoys fighting for a sport.
• Has a decent knowledge of the back alleys of Lumiose due to having lived there for a period of time.
• Is bad with stubborn people, as nature doesn't let him raise his voice or hand out commands that often.
•Since his trainer was a one-time Kalos champion, he's been traveling a lot and knows many things about different Kalosian sites.

Relationships:

 Scram - Adoptive daughter. Agni acts as a father to the Espurr, and the two live together. The Espurr is everything to the man, and he takes pride in being able to call her a daughter. 

Cari - An irreplaceable friend, Cari has helped Agni more than either of them probably realize. Due to her bubbly friendly nature and big, golden heart, the Arcanine has gotten the ghost to open up and stretch out of his comfort zone. They even competed and triumphed in the Power Pair tournament together. Cari's the one person aside from Scram the Aegislash has actually let up close into his personal space, and is a big part of him starting to heal from his irrational fear of touch.

Fern - Agni's gotten to know Fern as a fellow parent and a friend of Scram. He respects the woman for what she does both for the community and her own family, and overally thinks she's a good role model for pokehuman children.

Ryker - Fern's SO and the man who dared to trim the lion mane that was Scram's overgrown hair. Agni hasn't dealt with Ryker that much over time, but he has a good feeling of him.

Allie - Agni likes the young Altaria and both his dedication and enthusiasm for his cause. He also admires his efforts of raising a young child and giving the girl a chance at having a good life.

Ebenezer - His relationship with Ebenezer did not start well, as the Spiritomb made a miscalculation and ended up scaring Scram throughly. He tried to let it slid as time passed, and managed to forgive the other ghost pretty well and even considered him an acquaintance up until recently. However, with drastic changes in Kalos in the recent times, Agni's tolerance for Ebenezer has dropped under zero.

Chat Availability: I'm online a lot so whenever, basically! I go to university lectures so I'm online less during the daytime, but on my evenings I'm usually online. I'm best accessible via Skype, so just come and tug my sleeve if you want to interact!

Role-Play Example:

It was raining.

Holding his shield above his head and glancing around the alley, to his relief he noticed the population had retreated to the many cafes and shops that littered the main streets. Drifting by in the silence, Agni didn't bother changing into his human form as he traversed the back alleys.

The water soaked slowly into his cloth-like hands as the Aegislash searched for a place to spend the night in. A group of Espurr watched him from under a makeshift shelter as he approached warily, asking for a permission in silence.

The good part about the stray Espurrs was, they knew what it was like to be alone. They never wanted attention and would rather go about their own business than pester him... And the door opened both ways.

Nudging himself under the dry area Agni lowered his shield, locking it in front of himself and gazing into the rain. Tomorrow would be another day of work, another chance to get by a little better.

Maybe it wouldn't rain in the morning.
