Biography

Starting Out and Kanjoh 2

Not much is known about Des Pre-Rocket. What is known is that he was introduced to crime at a young age. With his best friend and partner; a Zubat called Ace; they journeyed through Kanto, lying, stealing and conning their way through the region. At the age of 15, Des was "made" and became a member of Team Rocket. Over the years he and Ace would take part in many of Team Rocket's plots, including the takeover at Goldenrod. It was during this "job" that Ace lost his life at the paws of a police Arcanine. This event still haunts Des to this very day. In desperation, Des tried fleeing to Hoenn in order to start a new life as a coordinator. But the authorities caught on and began a several year man hunt across multiple regions. It wasn't until Des encountered a sweet Ranger in Ecruteak that he would get a second chance at life...

Having traveled with the likes of Sakura, Lyuri, Hikari and Rawst for some time, Des has aquired a tight nit group of friends who he has sworn to protect and watch over. However he usually gets called away on missions and must seperate from the group, but you can always count on him to relocate his friends.

Unova 2

Des's appearances throughout Unova have been few and far between. He helped Jacob and Sakura overcome their personal problems and was even present during the April Fool's Day posts where he switched places with his author and went to the 'real' world. While in Unova, Tesse, a victim of his past, tracked him down and met up with the J-Team. She exposed one of the crimes he committed to some of the members, causing them to become wary of Des. Des decided to give Tesse a chance at vengeance and to 'serve justice'. So he challenged her to a battle (in an electrified cage no less!). Des threw the match (and in the process had several thousand volts of electricity course through his body), however Tesse unlocked her Gold Voice and couldn't find it im her heart to kill him. So she let him live his newfound life with his friends and vowed never to speak of his past misdeeds again.

Des was also present at the Big Climatic Event. He lead a team consisting of himself, Ren and Dune in closing a masive dream rift that appeared above Castellia and would later assist in closing the final rift at Entralink.

Personality

In spite of his status as a former criminal and all around low life, Des is surprisingly friendly. He tries to help in whatever way he can. He is also rather curious and likes to meet new people, though he stays mindful of certain lines that should not be crossed. However Des suffers from "Big Brother Instinct". He will try to help, protect, and serve anyone and everyone he comes across. Obviously guilt weighs heavy on his mind.

Des also has "random" tendencies, sometimes saying outrageous thing's ("What would you say if you could talk to cheese once?") or exhibiting odd behaviour.

However, Des does have a bad side. A remnant of his criminal days, he will lose control and operate on pure anger and fear. He becomes a danger to himself and to those around him and outside interference is usually needed to stop him from causing to much damage. This aggresion was born from the sorrow and regret he experienced after Ace died.

Relationships

Des is good friends with Sakura, Lyuri and Hikari. However his relationship with all three of these girls has entered some choppy water at one point or another.

After he assaulted Lake, Sakura refused to talk to him. After some time apart and some help from Hikari, their friendship has been repaired. Des feels obligated to protect Sakura for whatever reason and enjoys her company.

Lyuri is another matter. She' not as forgiving as her sister, so trusting Des took longer for her. However after Des helped them deal with Vrang she has learned to trust him more. Since then they've had no squabbles and she likes to tease him from time to time.

Hikari. Ho boy. Des has a crush on Hikari. No one can discern why but Des will tell you that "it was her eyes that drew me in and her caring nature that made me stay". This revelation caused Hikari alot of grief as she didn't know how to react to the sudden affection. Des tried to win her over by gushing over every little thing that she did, but ultimately it made her feel bad to reject him. Before she could leave the group, Sakura stepped in (mirroring that time when Hikari helped Des and Sakura with their relationship) and managed to difuse the situation. Des has decided to cherish his friendship with Hikari and remain friends...for now.

Rawst and Des haven't really spoken to each other alot, nontheless they are friends and Des even gave him the affectionate nickname "Berry Boy".

When Des first met Alyssa, he counldn't help but draw paralells between both her and himself. In spite of the language barrier, Des tried to befriend Alyssa and was met with limited success. Nevertheless, Des considers her a friend and will likely protect her if need be.

Out of the people Vrang knows, Des was the first to trust and befriend him. Des sees a little bit of himself in Vrang and after an incident in Ecruteak involving Lyuri's foot and Vrang's crotch area, Des decided to help the former Peon on the path to redemption. In return, Vrang gave him some battling tips seeing as Des has become rusty over the years.

Umbra and Des talked briefly in Olivine and again in Snowpoint. Des noticed a "guilty" look in his eye (the same look he sees when he looks in the mirror) and the two spoke about their immoral pasts and found great comfort in knowing that there are others like them.

Des's Team

Des's team contains mostly Grass-Types as well as 'mons that resist Grass-Type weaknesses. His main battle strategy is to utilise status effects and manipulate the weather in order to set up for big swings. However he is trying to diverge into other forms of battling due to how easy his stratagems fall apart.

Trivia

  • Des absolutely adores cute Grass-Types, an odd trait for a former criminal.
  • Likes sleeping in trees. Usually sitting up wtih one eye open.
  • Has declared himself a sworn enemy to things glass and windowy.
  • Doesn't really like Growlithes or Arcanines, though he dosn't seem to mind Sparkers or Grant.
  • Des is especially good at reading people, being able to discern details about them by looking in their eyes. It seems this "ability" is getting stronger...
  • Des can apparently sew. He claims to have learned it during "Rocket Training". So far he has sewed dresses for Sakura, Lyuri and Hikari for Christmas as well as severale plushies and scarves. He gifted two specially made scarves to Umbra and Vrang. Umbra's had a crest of red and gold flames while Vrang's had the proverb "Knocked down 7 times, back up 8" stitched into it.
  • Has a Mindscape, modeled after the "moral compass".
