In addition to the above information, I'd like to reapp with all of Kaito's memories in tact from his last time in Johto. I'd say he was home for about a month or two before dragged back again, which wouldn't really have much of an effect on his personality in being reapped.
Personality: Reused from my last app o/!
Talented magician Kaito Kuroba can be summed up in two rather simple words: class clown. An intelligent one at that, who devises ways to entertain himself through flipping Aoko's skirts, bringing magic tricks to school to use in front of his friends, pranking his teachers and/or classmates, and generally doing anything he can to get a few laughs from his audiences. He comes off as a charming slacker; his shirts are untucked, his collar unbuttoned, and he has a cheeky, sarcastic and blunt tongue to go with this casual exterior. He has an air of immaturity about him as well, as he's always teasing and picking on people, though only to crack a few jokes, never to hurt their feelings. He's kind of a pervert (as any teenage male is) and will gladly sneak into the girl's locker room and peek underneath skirts if he can, but he's not so lecherous to the point of where he comes off as a creep. It's all harmless fun, and taking advantage of women is something he'd never do. He also tends to choose inappropriate times for his pranks, and although he tries not to cross the boundaries from 'harmless fun' to 'incredibly cruel,' he does overstep the line at times. Luckily for Kaito, despite his immaturity he's responsible, and he knows how to make up for his more serious transgressions. He can be kind and thoughtful when he wants to be, and he does go out of his way to cheer people up or help them when they need it (he really is fairly chivalrous). Heart and smile are the most important things to him, and he has no qualms with spreading this philosophy around to others.
Kaito also has a healthy ego, and has no problems with considering himself both the greatest thief to ever live and one of the best magicians there is. Despite this, he does know his limits. He's stubbornly determined not to let anyone know what those are, though. This probably factors into the fact that the concept of poker face has been ingrained into his mind by his father since day one. He's been told, time and time again, not to let anyone in on what he's thinking, planning or feeling. Therefore, Kaito doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve, and it's very rare to see him without a smile of some sort, even when he's sad.
In stark contrast to the wild chaos that is Kaito, his alter-ego (Kaitou Kid) tends to be much more controlled. At least, on the surface. As Kid, Kaito adopts a more mysterious demeanor, speaking in riddles and flowery language to confuse his opponents and further his reputation as an enigma. He showboats, seeks attention, gives lengthy and impressive speeches to impress his audience, and he generally loves being Kaitou Kid. He's an adrenaline junkie who enjoys challenging himself, and Kaitou Kid is the perfect way for a bored intellectual like he is to really put his mind to work. Though it's important to note that while Kaito seems to enjoy thieving as Kid, he acknowledges that he isn't the good guy in this situation, even if his intentions are. He's refused to allow himself to be referred to as a modern day Robin Hood in canon, and he knows that stealing is wrong and that he's hurting people by doing it. He just also knows that for the greater good, sometimes a few laws need to be broken.
Aaaaaaand to wrap it all up because I'm not quite sure where else to fit this small part, he tends to get humorously grumpy a lot, especially when people turn the tables and tease him for once. He can totally dish it out, but he sucks at taking it. He also flails quite often, again when people try to tease him, and especially when fish are involved.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Also reused from my last app since it's all still applicable /o/
Strengths
* Kaito's greatest asset is his intelligence and ingenuity. He's able to think quickly on his feet and make good decisions in dangerous situations to avoid getting either himself or someone else injured. He's also very resourceful and known for coming up with odd inventions (like his card gun).
* He also has the ability to remain cheerful at all times no matter what the situation is, and his humor and happy demeanor helps him spread this cheer to other characters who might need it.
*He's also very determined (he never gives up on a job once he starts it)
* And, being a thief who scales buildings and runs from the police on a nightly basis, he's very acrobatic. Thus why his starter Pokemon is a monkey.
Weaknesses
* On the other hand, while he's good at thinking on his feet, he can be reckless or impulsive at times. He isn't the type to throw away his life needlessly, but he is an adrenaline junkie and, and he's prone to taking dangerous risks (such as leaping off of the top of tall buildings).
* His sarcastic demeanor and independence also makes him too cheeky at times
* His bluntness might get him in trouble with his friends (particularly Aoko)
* And lastly, his ego occasionally causes him to be a bit too overconfident when it comes to certain things, and if anything is going to be his downfall as Kaitou Kid, it's going to be this.
Pokémon Information
Affiliation: Trainer!
Starter: Umbreon, Lvl 30 (Kaito's original starter was an Aipom, but when I dropped, Heather acquired ownership of him. Sooo instead I'd like for Kaito start with one of his other old Pokemon instead. There are two Eevee slots open so I hope this is okay, but if not I can pick a new one!)
Password: Raspberry Lemonade
Samples
First Person Sample: ... there's nothing like the sweet sounds of 8-bit theme music blasting from your Pokegear in the morning, is there? Now that's a noise I haven't heard outside of my dreams for quite some time! Which, uh. Is probably for the best. C'mon, who would ask for anything other than the sweet melody of choppy, repetitive tones to jerk them awake bright and early in the middle of the woods when the Hoothoots are just settling down for a day of sleep?
...
... there are some things I really didn't miss about this place. Can we seriously still not turn off the stupid music? Keh. Anyway, there's gotta be a place for me to pick up the rest of my team and the items I had before I left, right? This place might be dumb enough to kidnap us all and bring us back without any rhyme or reason, but it's not about to deprive us of our team and the fruits of our hard labor, right?
... right?
Oh c'mon! You've gotta be kidding me! I spent a year and a half earning those badges and training those Pokemon! What happened to that famous Kuroba luck, huh? Geez...
Third Person Sample: There was something wet and warm pressing against his face.
Kuroba Kaito wrinkled his nose in his sleep, letting out a light grump as he tilted his head away from the dampness and swatted at his cheek groggily with one hand. Whatever the source of this damp warmth was, it was disturbing his much needed rest, and right now all he wanted to do was curl back up in his bed and ignore whatever outside source was trying to drag him from his slumber. "Five more minutes mum," he mumbled, and when the shifting and swatting seemed to work, he relaxed back into the mattress... but only until he felt the wetness press against his cheek again.
"Stoppit..." he grumbled, shifting again to push the source of his discomfort away, "S'annoying..." His fingers pressed against a soft, furry source-- a dog?, his sleep-addled mind blearily concluded, which was followed by much confusion, We don't have a dog... With a sigh, the magician cracked open one eye to peer at this persistent creature.
A black, vulpine-shaped face framed with bright yellow circles stared back at him. For a moment, the haze of sleep prevented Kaito from reacting beyond a few bewildered blinks. "Breon!" the creature cooed in a pleased manner now that he had finally managed to wake its trainer, and he leaned forward to lick at his trainer's cheek again.
"K--" It all clicked quite suddenly, causing Kaito to bolt upright, scattering pillows to the ground as he did so, "Kei?!" The Umbreon nodded his head cheerfully as Kaito rain his fingers through the Pokemon's fur, as if the tactile confirmation of his presence would make this experience more real. "What are you-- how did you--"
It was only then that Kaito realized he had not woken up in his bedroom, and this fact was only confirmed by a vaguely familiar voice calling at him from the doorway. "Good morning!" The cheerful woman who claimed to be everyone's mother proclaimed, "Are you ready to start your journey today?"
Kaito stared. And stared. And stared for a few moments longer. Kei let out a displeased noise and butted his head against his trainer's palm. And it was only then that Kaito finally spoke again, incredulous.
"Are you kidding me?!"
