HISTORY:

Gavina is what one could or would call a miracle of nature or a blessing of Arceus. His parents held a deep love for one another though they never expected a child to be born between them. After all, a relationship between two creatures that were outside of their breeding element were never known to produce offspring ever, and if such things happened the child would often either be killed as it is seen as an abomination or the child would be abandoned and left to fend for itself or die… this was because while most common hybrids between family tree related ‘mon were openly welcome… those that weren’t were seen as disgusting filth to be destroyed and thrown to Davy Jones locker.

The young hybrid was born in the smalle city of Presteigne a very small, almost non-populated town. His parents were not suffering from poverty and he was living a normal life albeit hidden. The risks of losing their son would make both his mother and father keep the boy locked away in his house the majority of his life… because both parents did not want to lose their blessing… their angel. A child that was given to them by what seems Arceus himself, he was their baby and was always going to be their special little star. Gavina didn’t mind being cooped up, he was given things to do. Such as practice and play the Piano, amongst many other instruments. His personal favorite being the Violin which he picked up during his teenaged years of life and he became an expert with the instrument. Able to create beautiful melodies and tunes with even the slightest stroke of the cords.

Gavina used music to escape the confinds of boredom from being cooped up and it was something that he overly loved doing. The sounds that came from both the Piano and the Violin thrilled him, and kept him entertained for hours on end. Though slowly, his music wouldn’t be able to block out a growing desire to see the outside world. While he was used to being locked up and locked away for his own safety as he grew older and approached the age of adulthood he had a longing to finally step outside the manor and just take in everything. Music would give way to boredom… and Gavina would stop playing for long periods of time. Often sitting at one of the stools in front of the windows of his house that outlooked the large gardens outside. He would often be scolded by his parents… and dragged away to be kept hidden and out of sight.

After so many years of being cooped up, the young man finally wanted to stretch his wings. Waiting for one night when his parents would sleep he would finally get up the courage and leave the house. Going out and wandering the gardens of his home… taking in the beautiful aromas that came from the flowers they grew… and just enjoying the fresh air and crisp cool air of the nightly breeze. It was during this first outing that Gavina would run into someone who would change his life forever… a young Venusaur would have been trespassing through the gardens the same night that Gavina had wandered out.

Having caught the young man, Gavina was more curious than anything… since he had been cooped up for all his life he had never seen such things. The two would speak with one another while sitting on one of the many benches of the garden and would share a lot of things in common, Gavina learning that the young mans name was Galahad. Both seemed to deal with a life of being cooped up, though Gavina’s was for his own protection and Galahad’s was due to his parents being rich and telling him that he shouldn’t go out and ‘mingle with the common filth’ as they would put it. It was the spark of a lasting friendship between the two, as Gavina would end their first night and ask for him to come again. And night after night both would come out just to chat… and socialize. However there was a deeper bond growing between the two, a forbidden bond that was seen as disgusting and vile.

Gavina shared a deep love for Galahad, which was returned… and after some years of sneaking out the two had finally gotten bold to just go out and wander the towns. Sharing this affection openly, holding hands with one another and just walking through the city at night. Not realizing the trouble that would come from such an act. The two shared many nights like this, just wandering and enjoying their budding love. However their love wasn’t something to last, after a few nights of such acts… Galahad would not show up. And this worried Gavina, worried him to the point where he went against his parents demands for him to stay into the house.

Going out in a brisk hurry Gavina would search high and low for the venusaur, even going so far as to go to Galahad’s homestead to find him. Which he was promptly thrown out for… in his haste to find Galahad he hadn’t paid attention that his acts would have been caught from all the nights of wandering with his love. Being casted out by the mans family lead to him being caught by the guards of the city, and while he fought it the man was dragged to the prison and casted into the iron cage to be left to rot. Though, he wasn’t left to rot.

Gavina would suffer through days of torture at the hands of the guards, being a hybrid was one crime… but to condem sodomy was another. The bird like dinosaur would suffer beatings at the hands of the guards, he would be whipped without mercy and would also be burned with heated rods. His feathers being ripped out of his wings and off his form in violent manners as the guards took great pleasure is tormenting him. He would be called things such as Sodomist, He-whore… he would be called a Sinner, an abomination of nature… filth, trash… all manners of things. And the words stung worse than the whips that lashed against his back.

The torture would last weeks, months even… the guards allowing for him to ‘heal’ just a bit and grow his feathers back only to rip them out again… and again. Gavina would get things literally carved into his back, words… words such as whore, slut… bitch… it wasn’t until after a few months had passed that Gavina would finally be dragged out from the cell… beaten and abused… drained of his energy. He was damned to hell and back, pelted with rotted vegetables as he was dragged out to where he was to be executed for his crimes.

The pain that came from this however wasn’t the thought of death… but it was that before him was Galahad’s body… the Venusaur having been hung days prior to Gavina’s execution. This sight broke the hybrids spirit… and it tore into him like a blade slicing through the air. Broken completely he would be tied down to several large rocks before being pushed into the depths where he sank to the bottom. Having given up on any hopes Gavina had been ready for death… however, when it seemed to be the end… a miracle seemed to happen. Something had brought him back out from the depths… away from his birthtown… away from the cruel torture he had faced.

CLOTHING OF CHOICE: Gavina enjoys the finer things of life, he wears what standard pirates would wear during this time frame but he also wears them in a bit more of a regal way. His clothing often reflects his former lovers coloration with deep greens and reds being the most common colors he sports. Gavina wears a typical pirates hat, with one of his long feathers adorning it.

ACCESSORIES: Gavina carries with him a standard flintlock pistol and a Rapier, other than this Gavina’s person is pretty bare. Everything he had was lost when he was tossed to the depths.

PERSONALITY: Gavina is a very shy, reclusive man… he is not open in many cases due to the things that happened in his past. And many things can or will startle him if he is not expecting them, such as touching his feathers or getting too close without warning. Gavina is soft spoken, but can be more assertive when the time requires it. He has a large fear of the water, and he also has a fear of ever getting too close to another again due to the death of his lover Galahad al Angouleme. When he is alone Gavina will often take out his Violin and play a silent tune… he plays from the heart though this is rarely seen by others.
