SPIROS, evangelos e.

name: vasilios
species: seviper
gender: male
ability: shed skin
egg move: punishment
nature: territorial
personality: having been with evangelos for so long, he has seen the rise and fall and roller coaster of a life the man has had. because of this, vasilios has become very, very protective of him. you could say that he sees his human as his 'territory', and he won't let anyone shady near him. he even tries to keep away anyone who might potentially harm him in a non-violent way (emotionally). vasilios is known to become territorial over just about anything, though, from plants to even chairs. he has a soft spot for the young, and he tends to play with his food before eating it.

name: zenovia
species: altaria
gender: female
ability: natural cure
egg move: dragon rush
nature: song bird
personality: lady zenovia is quite the troublemaker. usually kept inside the apartment, she likes to make a ruckus by filling the silence with her beautiful singing. sure, it's nice at first, but having it constantly can get annoying, especially for the neighbors who have to go through with it all day. it's when he starts getting complaints that she is forced back into her pokeball. she is a big sweety, though, and she loves to cuddle. she will also beg for treats from anyone, even complete strangers.

name: dimitrios
species: purrloin
gender: male
ability: limber
egg move: pay day
nature: trickster
personality: still just a kitten, dimitrios was given to evangelos by one of the tenants in his apartment complex. he was the runt of the litter, and no one wanted him. dimitrios often carries him around with him wherever he goes, cuddling the kitten and trying to keep him out of trouble. when he can't be taken, though, he is left at the apartment with zenovia. he loves getting into all sorts of trouble, and his curiosity knows no boundaries. he isn't too keen on meeting new people, though he lightens up his huff-puff act after finding some lace to chase.

the big bad wolf is one helluva man. his presence is enough to make someone weak at the knees. with a mask covering his face and "protecting his identity," he wears a cocky smirk on his face and keeps an air around him that screams i'm going to make your day. he always seems to know just what his customers want, having a keen eye that has been trained to easily figure out a customer's mood just by their body language. he's also prone to getting to know his more reoccurring customers, those who frequent him the most, so they become easier and easier to read each time. the wolf isn't afraid to flirt it up with his customers, either. many even claimed to have fallen in love with him, though he is really just leading them on to get more money out of them. playing dirty never hurt anyone. well, everyone but the customer's heart. after all, his number one rule is if they pay, do it. the only thing he has yet to do is actually bed his customers, despite some urging from his manager. nope, not him.

take off the mask, however, and you get simply evangelos. this man is completely different during the day. some say the night makes him a different person, though it is really just the mask. during the day, though, his true colors shine. he is an absolute dork. he's into anime, manga, comics, video games, those really amazing television series with giant fanbases, everything. hell, he even cosplays. yes, the big bad wolf cosplays. he does various mecha, armor, and other cosplays. he does them pretty well, too. there's a sewing machine in his apartment along with tons of fabric and whatever else he needs at the time. yeah, it's a mess, but he loves them. he puts the finished costumes on display until he needs to actually wear them, going to various conventions as work allows. it's as conventions he has plans to go to draw near that he tries to get the most money out of customers.

he is known for being very, very self-conscious if he isn't wearing his mask or in costume. it's weird, but he just doesn't feel comfortable with himself if he isn't pretending to be somebody else. even the big bad wolf is someone he created so he could pretend to be something he is not. he tends to be shy, keeping to himself and making sure he isn't bothering anyone. he puts on a smile while working at starboks, only to duck out and head home as soon as possible. it takes really getting to know someone before he starts to open up, though he tends to be even more self-conscious around people he meets through his nighttime work. he never knows if they might recognize him, if they might try to talk to him as if he actually acted like the wolf outside of his job, etc. it just makes him very, very flustered, and he tries to hide himself behind his pokemon whenever he can during those times. or, he might say something completely rude before fleeing.

evangelos is a sweet man, though. it just takes some time for him to get used to someone and to become more open around them. once he does, though, he becomes loyal until the end. he doesn't like letting his friends down, and he will do what he can to aid them through thick and thin. if he really grows attached to someone, they can expect him to become a little clingy, if not needy. he doesn't like being left alone, despite how he might try to act sometimes. he can't stand the thought of being left alone again, not after going through what he has. evangelos tries not to become so attached to someone that he falls in love. he doesn't want to love and lose again. not now, not ever. perhaps that is why he won't give himself to any of his customers. it's a little more sacred to him.

oh, yeah. he's a virgin. still. somehow. don't ask.

the story of evangelos starts out with a small, happy family. the father worked long, hard hours bringing in money while the mother cared for the children. each day, they would settle down for dinner together, with the mother, the three children (evangelos being the youngest), and the father, tired from work but still wearing a smile on his face in the presence of his family. they were happy, and nothing seemed to bother them. at least, not until evangelos's teenage years. the rebellion age hit him hard. he tried to do his best in school, he really did, but then he started choosing the wrong friends. these so-called friends made him feel like he actually belonged to a group, but they ended up dragging him along with their drama. he never did any of the drugs they often offered to him, but there was one time where his parents caught him sneaking alcohol out of their fridge to take to his 'friends' house. he ended up grounded until he got out of high school. on bright side, he developed a hatred toward alcohol and drugs, especially when it comes to the smell. on the downside?

his parents started fighting. they kept him up at night with their yelling, and he couldn't help but feel responsible. after all, they were shouting at each other about him. it's you're fault he's going down this path--you're never home! reasons were thrown up in the air. he found it harder and harder to keep up his grades. he stopped talking to the people he once thought were his friends. he withdrew himself, becoming a wallflower. after he graduated, he took the first opportunity to leave his house and his parents behind. his siblings had already left to college, and it was time for him to do the same. he moved halfway across the region, going to a university to study... well, really, he didn't try to get any fancy major. he just did what they told him to do.

it was during his college years that his life began to pick back up. he met a girl, and he fell in love. she made college pass by so much quicker, and he even stayed a bit longer, deciding to major in business, just so he could stick around with her as she aimed for her phd. it was one of those cliche college love stories, minus all the sex and alcohol. she seemed to respect that much, and it allowed her more time to focus on college itself. of course, all good things either must come to an end or hit a road bump. evangelos found out that his sweet little girlfriend had been cheating on him. when confronted on the matter, she said it was an accident and that it would never happen again. being the sweet little college student he was, evangelos quickly forgave her. it was only a week later that she told him that she was pregnant with the child of the man she cheated on him with. that man, however, would not claim the child and refused to give any sort of aid. evanglos, however? he vowed to help her raise the child.

okay, this is where his life takes a big old turn for the worst. the child died during birth, causing his girlfriend to become depressed. she wanted the child, even if it would have been born out of lies, and it tore her apart that she couldn't have her child. she wanted to try again, to have the child she always wanted. so, what did she do? she tried to force herself upon evangelos even though he wanted to save himself until marriage. he was forced to watch as his girlfriend withered away. her grades dropped, her scholarship ended, and then the bomb shell hit. she was diagnosed with cancer. evangelos tried to get her treatment, but she had already given up. she cursed the very name of arceus as she took her final breaths in the hospital bed.

his life kept going downhill as he received word of his parents' deaths. they had still been fighting, and they both reached for the gun. his father short his mother before shooting himself in the head. it took evangelos almost two years to fully get over the deaths of his parents and girlfriend. he dropped out of college, finding it useless now more than ever, and he moved around phoenix trying to find a new start. this new start came in the form of a strip club. yes, it's a weird 'new start' by the standards of everyone else, but they gave him a literal and metaphorical mask to wear. within a few months, he had created a new persona just for his nighttime job. he quickly figured out the ropes, and he soon found himself climbing in popularity at the club. the cash rolled in, and evangelos found a way to cope with the losses.

he had to find a daytime work, however, mainly because he needed to have some sort of decent, normal occupation to tell his older siblings about. telling them he was a stripper would not go over well. so, the man took up a job at starboks. it was easy, he got a nice discount when making purchases at the cafe, and he got to wear an apron. plus, there was coffee and hot chocolate. you cannot deny this man his coffee and hot chocolate. his life started getting back on track, and he found himself to be happy on his own. he even took up responsibility of the new recruits at the club, teaching them the ropes and making sure they didn't make fools of themselves. one such recruit was a little "bambi" lost in the woods, so, of course, the big bad wolf had to teach him a few things in order to survive in their demanding and harsh world.
