Appearance

Bishop has the appearance of a standard male Scizor.

Personality

Bishop is usually very calm and collected, and follows his trainer's orders dutifully and without question. He is unshakably loyal to Lucius, though this has led to some conflict when Lucius's orders are dangerous or ill-advised. Due to his unfamiliarity with social situations, he often speaks in a rather formal and overly dramatic tone, often accidentally making things awkward for himself and others.

Abilities In Battle

As a Scyther, Bishop was forced to rely on his evasiveness in combat, since he is ill-adapted to taking hits. He remained almost constantly on the move, staying airborne wherever possible. After evolving into Scizor, Bishop is much more capable of taking hits and is probably one of the strongest Pokemon on Lucius's team, though he remains vulnerable to Fire-type moves.

History

Bishop grew up as a child in an unknown region, before he was captured by Pokemon smugglers and taken to Orre. There he was sold to Cipher, who proceeded to turn him into a Shadow Pokemon. To test his abilities, Cipher set him on the smugglers who brought him in, and he tore them apart with gutso. Bishop says he remembers little of his time spent as a Shadow Pokemon or what came before it.

At around the time Lucius was fourteen, Bishop was transferred to a Cipher lab in order to be sold, and at that time Lucius and Alice were attempting to infiltrate the lab in search of Deimos. Bishop attacked Lucius, stabbing the boy viciously and almost killing Kirk before Lucius was able to catch him in a Luxury ball. Lucius decided to keep him and purify him, and Bishop developed a strong loyalty to Lucius as a result. He has since followed the boy to Unova as his Pokemon.

Relationships

Bishop is fiercely loyal to Lucius, due to being rescued from Cipher and purified by him. However, his tendency to follow the letter of Lucius's orders often leads to problems. Since accidentally wounding Lucius during a sparring session, he has since focused more on maintaining his trainer's wellbeing than following his orders.

Bishop is strong friends with Kirk, despite their hostile first meeting, though his introverted nature means that he does not often interact with the other members of the team. He tolerates Maul, often chastises Ripley for her mischievous antics, and often ends up babysitting Wrex.

Bishop also has a crush on Seth, which emerged since their first meeting. Seth figured it out after a while, and let Bishop down as gently as he could, prior to the two having a friendly battle. Bishop's feelings still persist, though he has realised the impossibility of a relationship and tries to avoid making Seth feel awkward.
