~Age~

~Height~

~Personality~

+Polite
Harlie grew up in a loving home and as such was taught how to treat others. Being proud doesn’t make him immune to manners. He was taught to treat others as he wished to be treated and follows this rule to heart. However he can be quite nonchalant about whatever good deeds he does and is also a bit aloof about it.

If he’s quite close to you however and knows how to gauge your reactions, he can be a bit sarcastic...though it comes off more like dry humor.


+ Intelligent
Harlie is very smart, from reading every type of book under the sun.
He also has a photographic memory though only retains information he cares about. He does tend to be a bit gullible sometimes, but its rare, mostly dealing with peoples emotions


+ Caring
While Harlie acts cold at first and aloof, he's honestly very sweet and caring, much like a father would be to their kid.
He's just shy and isn't the best at showing it.
Once he's close to you, he'll do anything to make sure you are comfortable and cared for

- Self-conscious
While Harlie doesn't act like it, he's actually very self concious and doesn't have the best self esteem.
He doesn't constantly put himself down but is a bit more pessimistic about himself and his skills
He tries to look cool in front of everyone, usually coming off like a dork.
Once he is comfortable however, he usually is more of himself and calms down

- Serious: As his nature suggests, Harlie is in fact quite serious, as well as high-strung. He prefers to quietly commentate and get straight to the point. With this, its hard for him to tell if someone is being serious or joking, so in a way he can be slightly gullible.

- Quiet: Unlike most Zoroarks which can be tricksters, Harlie is quiet and prefers to observe instead of being more open and loud. In a way he can be aloof but not mean, just not really sure how to respond to others, more along the lines of being calm. Which can come off as being rude but he is anything but. Along with being quiet, he is also easily embarrassed so he gets flustered often.


~History ~

Harlie was a different Zorua when he was born and not just due to his coloration. Zouras tended to be tricky, cunning and all in all rather devious, it just was in their nature. Harlie was not like that.

He was a very shy and quiet boy at a young age, he rather observes from a distance than interact directly.

While he was very intelligent and maybe his personality helped him out in some way, it was most of a blessing than a curse

His social skills were zero to none and he truthfully never tried. He’d rather stick his head in a book….reading about far off worlds or feats impossible then interact with those his age.


As such from the time he was born to the time he evolved, he encountered a problem.

Like most of the Zoroark line, they always had the ability to create illusions and transform into a familiar face….Harlie could never do such a thing, never on command anyway, what’s worst was some defect that came from evolving. He never lost his Zorua tail….At least it grew with him but how humiliating

At first, it never bothered him, why would he need such a skill? The tail he could live without though. But as time went on, he realized not only did it hinder him, he could see the defeat in his parent's eyes.

Refusing to back down from such a pathetic thing, Harlie went to his parents offering an idea to go overseas to study

They first argued but knew it was for naught. Truth be told Harlie didn’t want to go…..but he knew he had to.


The school was hard….ridiculously hard. Not to say he hated every second of it…..in fact, he was very surprised at how much he went from tolerating it to enjoying it.

Not everything was perfect…he still had yet to learn how to control his ability

It wasn’t all for naught, though. He met a few he could call friends, he actually had social skills, that was a surprise, even for him

But what was more surprising was his heart...Funny how it decides when to choose someone to love.

Harlie could hear his parents voices in his head saying one day, one day he’d find his match. Harlie scoffed at that idea like a thing would happen….Well it did….With oddly enough the most opposite character he had ever interacted with….Yet his perfect match


Marionette was her name, a tiny….and by tiny, it was the literal sense of the word Litwick girl. With a heart as beautiful as herself

Harlie found himself in a whirlwind of emotions, it hurt but he’d take the pain forever as long as she was with him.

It was by some miracle she reciprocated his feelings...Him? The stone wall with no personality, but he really couldn’t complain, he was getting the better end of the deal after all; And he wasn’t about to let her go anytime soon.


Nearing the end of their school life, Marionette spoke of her journeys, nothing Harlie could compare to.

Some horrible, and some he’d never wish to experience and those he wished he could erase for her. Yet with the bad, came the good and such strength in those stories

Harlie wanted that….And wanted that with her.

Once school was over….It was time to explore the world

First stop Tora….


At first, Harlie felt horrible for having to hold Marionette back, she never had to worry about rest or food like him, he even conveyed his emotion to her but she brushed it off, saying this was far more worth it in the end

After that Harlie never said another word against himself...This was a journey for them, that included the bad, the good and the frustrating

Speaking of bad, a while into their journey, they ran across a terribly wounded traveler. Harlie tried to gather the traveler and take him back the village they had just left, maybe just maybe….

Even as he kept trying, Harlie knew it was pointless, he saw in across Marionette’s face.

Placing the man down, a blinding light flashed and before he knew it, the carriage driver was nowhere to be seen

In fact, where were they?


In looked like a room….well that was a boring description. To be fair it was just a room with some odd sort of machinery

Nothing like Harlie had ever seen and yet it looked old. Harlie turned to Marionette to see her grasp something out from under the sadly dead man’s shirt...it was some sort of amulet, again it was odd looking, Harlie couldn’t place where it originated from and once again it looked very old

Well no use sitting here…Best to find a way out, maybe they could find someone and one help this man...Even if it was just for a ceremony and two, figure out where they were


Hours passed and yet nothing had happened. They tried to open the only door in the room, yet it didn’t move, looked around for some sort of opening to the outside world...even a window...Nothing

Just as he was about to scream from frustration, the door suddenly opened, startling both of them….Well him for sure.


Wasting no time, they ran out before the room could decide otherwise and lock them back in.

This new room was a sight to behold, it looked like a giant clock yet it didn’t have the gears of one….In fact the entire room glowed all seven colors of a rainbow

Harlie internally questioned how this was even possible and a part of him wanted to look around….Yet he knew it was better to find help first; Someone must know where they were.

Marionette sensed the souls of a few directly below them and directed him to some stairs.

Not even a flight down, they both had run into quite a few new faces...Who were both shocked and excited to see the two  


Questions fired off at mach speed at the two...Did he answer them, he wasn’t sure? It was so much...Too much to take in, as both he and Marionette were whisked away and out of the tower

It took awhile but finally the two were told they were on an island, north of Tora. Harlie was confused, how did they go from one area to another in the blink of an eye, let alone an island. These, explorers as they called themselves had been sent here from a higher source from what Harlie could gather to study the tower and an ancient group called Temporal Chroniclers. Harlie was starting to think he had passed out somewhere and this was all a dream.

Many hours and tests later, it turned out to not be a dream. Though both he and Marionette looked a normal age, even with her ghost typing, they were told they were decades older. If he was understanding it right, Harlie was supposed to be in his mid-80s...even older….that can’t be...he was just 21

They hadn’t just teleported...they had teleported through time.


Harlie wasn’t sure what to feel….He was 70 some years in the future...Somewhere that wasn’t familiar to him at all. There was a small part of him that wished to cry….He was away from home, probably never going to see his parents again and away from what was normal

He didn’t cry, however, he wasn’t a crier….but something else stopped him from crying...And she was keeping him strong.

Maybe…Maybe there was a reason they were here? Well only time would tell.


For a few weeks, both he and Marionette stayed with the group in hopes of finding a way back….Like Harlie thought it wasn’t possible, yet having weeks to think...It wasn’t as bad as before and while it took time to get used to this new world and its ways...It wasn’t difficult

They were offered to stay with the expedition team and invited to be a part of what was called Yarlets Institute: A school to train, teach and protect.

They’d be protected and fed, along with learning this new land. After talking, both decided it was a safe bet….this land was new and they knew nothing. However, Harlie could tell that these students had an ulterior motive being excited to see those from the past.


After much explaining of the politics and classes….Harlie was surprised, he learned they could teach him to extend his ability to shapeshift….While better, he still had trouble with his ability...But to be told that he would be given help and to even extend it to different species...It was quite a shock


Harlie couldn’t lie….He was scared...This was different and scary. He was truly away from home with no way back till further notice.

Yet with Marionette at his side...someone who had faced the world alone, Harlie knew they could take on anything

Even the future

~Hobbies~

Flower Pressing 
Archery
Horse-Riding
Snuggling with Marionette but only her

~Relationship~
Taken-Marionette

~House~ 
Nymphia

~Weapon~
Bow and Arrow for long range

Shapeshifting

(Harlie can’t shapeshift into items or even just parts of his body like other shapeshifters. He can only shift into another pokemon species which he uses as a way of esponage

He is now learning how to shift into small feral pokemon and ginjikas but its harder than normal anthro.
Legendaries are still a challenge as well
He is unable to use his ability because of this skill, meaning he is an ability-less pokemon)


~Class/SubClass ~
Mage/Shapeshifter


~Extras/Fun Facts~

~Harlie has red eyes instead of the common yellow for a shiny

~Harlie has selective photographic memory; If the subject bores him, he will not retain any information. However if it interests him, he will be able to recall any information about said subject

~Isn’t a fan of heatwaves

~The quotation marks around Harlie's name now state that's not his actual name; His actual name is a longer version of said name, yet Harlie can't stand it so its never talked about

Note: Only his girlfriend Marionette knows his true name

~Likes to remain shiny when he shapeshifts to other types of pokemon

~Metrosexual/Straight (Harlie totes worries about his looks more than he should xD)

~Actually a really good horse back rider, even tho he's not very strong

~Thinks dragons are cool

~Extremely fast sprinter but has horrible stamnia

~(A fun fact: Harlie is a legit shiny zoroark i have in game, first shiny ever without the use of an event or trading. His parents are infact a Zoroark and a Luxray from Japan with those names, thought it would be fun to mention )
