sinister(ish) cat boi BIO: Tybalt is a rather strange dark Pokemon. Mostly because... well, he's just a genuinely nice guy! He doesn't have any real grudge against the Pokemon of the light world, and - unlike many of his kind - really doesn't see the point in attacking them without a good reason. This friendly and placid nature does tend to get him into trouble with the more aggressive dark Pokemon, and calling him 'awkward in any social situation beyond a one-on-one conversation' would be an understatement. Of course, that's not to say he isn't loyal; Tybalt is still a servant of the Dark Lord through and through, and won't hesitate to get his paws dirty if he knows for a fact that it'll help their cause. He just doesn't see why the war between light and shadow has to be so black and white. Can't they just figure something out that DOESN'T involve completely banishing one side? BACKSTORY: Tybalt never knew his family, having been abandoned in the Dark Realm just before hatching. This may sound like an unfortunate way to grow up - and it is - but it's really not that out of the ordinary for a dark Pokemon. They aren't exactly known as the world's most caring parents. The young Purrloin grew up fending for himself, learning the ropes of the Dark Realm by doing quick tasks for other Pokemon. One of these tasks involved guarding a prisoner from the light world - an Oricorio-Whimsicott hybrid named Minuet. Tybalt did what he was told, and sat by the hybrid's cage for hours each day. Despite being locked up in a bleak world of darkness, Minuet never lost her cheerful spirit, and told Tybalt countless stories of the light world. About the Pokemon there, the beauty of the land they lived in, and how they peacefully went about their days. Of course, Tybalt tried his best to ignore these stories... but they were still intriguing. Was it really possible that there was more to life than lurking in the shadows and hunting for Keys? Minuet was eventually set free, and Tybalt eventually moved on to bigger and better things. But those stories never quite left him...
