:bulletblack:Ability
Trace [The Pokémon copies an opposing Pokémon's Ability]-- Giovanni has the ability to trace people's natural abilities, while the move is seemingly useless in a none battling environment. Giovanni likes to keep in the back of his mind how a person can be useful for the future. Experiencing an ability that is not native to a Gardevoir also gives him greater insight in the biological differences of different types. As such it is not uncommon for Giovanni to "accidentally" bump into someone to activate his trace ability. It is a way to meet new people, as well as furthering his own gains.

:bulletblack:Personality
Giovanni is a person driven by ambition. Because by now, it is all he has left. The Gardevoir bets his entire life and future on the following years and is resolute in his ability to succeed in his plans. He will use everything he has available to do so, be it allies, his skills, his appearance, his body. Even blackmail is such a thing must occur.

This Psychic type is someone that believes that everyone is useful in some way. They all have something be it: a skill, way of talking or even appearance. No matter what, there is something that makes a person useful and Giovanni wants to be a person that can take advantage of that. That is not to say that he does not treat others with kindness or concern. After the treatments his parents and tutors showed him, he knows full well what the difference is between a tool or a puppet and an ally. What he needs now are not mindless people with no ambition, people to be used and throw away. No, what he needs are allies that he can build the foundation of an empire on.

He is a rational person, believing that using power of logic, rationality and planning instead of emotion, rash and passion is the best option. Quite odd considering his species is one that strives on emotions. That is not to say he does not believe another person can succeed otherwise, it is just no the best way of acting for him. The Gardevoir bottles most of his emotions inside of him, because there is an image he wants to portray, regardless if he feels differently. Because of this, there are times when his emotions overwhelm him completely leading to minor breakdowns of either anger, sadness or any other emotion.

The image that Giovanni wants to portray is of a charming, kind gentleman. Someone that does his best to further someone's else's ambition. Though on the flip-side he would ask for you to do the same. A favour every now and then. And perhaps an long-lasting alliance, if be believes he can trust you enough. Though he is not naive enough to believe that everyone would follow his lead as smoothly. He is fully prepared to take any betrayals in stride..And return that by 10-fold. After all he is someone that take grudges to the grave.


:bulletred:History
Giovanni was born not out of love, but out of necessity. Both of his parents came from a long line of business folk. Both sides of his family came from different, rival companies that competed with one another through the decades, both companies specialize in trade and transport. Because of this there was a long sides grudge between the two families. However because of the change in economy in modern time: trade becoming available throughout the different regions as well as the broader availability to other rival companies. The elder heads of both families felt it would be best to merge both of their companies to secure a better holding in Kalos. It was the result of a long time of bickering and negotiations between them. They were both prideful men and had a lot of pride being Unovian's. As much as they disliked one another, they disliked the idea of losing their footing in transport and trade to someone not from Unova.

However the same thought was not shared with younger generations. How could they? They have been raised from a young age to see the other family as the enemy, they were taught to use everything at their disposal to undermine anyone from the other  company. Suddenly changing how generations of people been raised and suddenly having to live and work under one banner in peace seems impossible in their eyes. The elders understood this quite well, they feared that this decision would spread chaos among both families with all the repercussions that would come with it. They soon decided that a bond of mere word and contract would not suffice..However perhaps a bound of blood would. They were a traditional family after all.

Their respective sons and daughters were already wed and with grandchildren, they understood it would be impossible to ask for them to divorce. However..Their respective grandchildren were in their teens, young enough that a marriage contract would be possible. Both the mother and father of Giovanni were firmly against this, they wanted to find love themselves. Why would they have to be pushed into a marriage with someone they loathed. But eventually they understood, with many lectures from their elders, that this was the best solution. Though they did not like it at all.

Over the years the merged company stabilized and the two wed and birthed a son. Giovanni. The first child that bore the blood of both companies. The representative to what the union of both families could be. Because of this from a young age his grandparents put great expectations on him. He has to be perfect in every way. He received the best of tutors and had training in economy, finances, social studies, everything one need to be a head of the family from a very young age. Failure was not taken well. In those times he had no one and no where to go. His parents were no support either, the opposite infact. Sadly..The dislike of their respective spouse was also shared towards Giovanni. His mother saw his father in him and visa versa. 

Quite early, too early for a child, Giovanni realized that his emotions were a weakness, they were only met with scorn. No he cannot cry for cries would be unbecoming from the young master. He has to endure and take it with a smile and politeness. Put on the image they desired him to be. Even if he doesn't want too. 

He too had to learn to hide his likes and desires. Everything that deemed unbecoming for the next in line was destroyed for his eyes along with a lecture. His youth and lessons only created more piles of responsibilities and more layers to his mask. He was taught to be ruthless, to see everyone not in the family as a tool. To be used but never give responsibility for. To use charm and his looks as weapon that is to be seen. To use blackmail and subtle treats as his dagger behind a cloak. What he should be.

Years went by and he gained a sibling. Two in fact. They both excelled in different fields than him and both had other expectations pushed onto them. To his dismay, his siblings did not see him as a brother but as a rival or perhaps a tool. On the outside, he knew it is what to be expected, it was expected from him to treat them the same way. On the inside he felt a little bit of his already small heart break.

He was slipping, years of repressed emotions, yearning for a different life, a more..Happier life made his lose focus and that costed him dearly. As the years went on, his punishment for failure became worse. The words became harsher and with the birth of his siblings, the treat of losing his status as the next head. Eventually he did not even care about it anymore.

It was enough, his lack of ambition. His failure of doing what's expected from him. He was deemed not worthy to be the next heir and his parents waited for a single moment, a single large screw up for them to wash their hands of him. After all handling two children would be easier than one. And it came. There was a ball, a large social gathering. A perfect place to create ties and contacts, it was expected of him and his siblings to mingle, chat with others their age and do what's to be expected of them. What followed was something he could not stop. Giovanni was talking to the heir of an large chain of onsens. The fellow was unpleasant, to say the least.  Far to large an ego and treating everyone like dirt under his feet. Through evening he saw him treat his personal maid as rubbish, when it came to a physical treat. Subtly and quite politely Giovanni asked him to stop, he had enough of his antics and behavior. This was taken so wrongly by the heir. Quite loud he began yelling and degrading Giovanni and his family and eventually he had enough. He was the straw that broke the camels back, repressed anger and every hateful feeling bubbled upwards and he lashed out violently. A storm of Psychic came forth from him and he threw the other male far away from him, into the table with snacks. Immediately he understood the repercussions of his loss of control. 

His parents and siblings quickly pulled away and then came the backlash. Scorn and insults were hurled towards him with his siblings watching on in silence. They were quite clear in their intentions now. For all they care, he was not their son anymore. In public he would be, he would still have his name and his trust funds but for all intents and purposes he was nameless, the middle brother would be the next head of the family.

That night Giovanni trashed his room, everything came spilling out. All these years. For what? For nothing. He absolutely nothing now, he suffered for nothing, he learned so much for absolutely nothing. In the grounds of anger and despair grew something else. Amidst the remains of the little belongings he had, Giovanni found his ambition again. If he was to be nameless. If he was cast out of the family. Then so be it. He will simply overtake the company. Overthrow his parents or his middle brother and become the president of it. He was wrong before, he does have something. These years have armed him with enough knowledge and skill to the next heir. More so the treatment of his parents and tutors have also taught him a very important thing. Cruelty and treats will only get you so far and eventually it'll blow up. What is the opposite of that..Kindness. Kindness will be his weapon against them. Where they will only have tools. He will have allies, like minded people, people with ambition, people that will help him and in return he will help them. It was a better alternative than acting as how he should be. After all where did that get him? Though..How does he start?

The answer came in the form of his grandmother, from the side of his mother. His grandparents did not think so little of Giovanni, afterall their children messed up plenty of times. But the matter was not in their hands anymore. His grandmother did not like the idea of her grandson pushed into the world with no handle on things. She proposed that Giovanni finished his schooling atleast. She knew of a prestigious private school. St. Mortiel academy, located right in the middle of Hearthome city in Hoenn. It was far away enough that she knew his parents would not object. Along with saying that costs of the school would come from her. Not a penny would be expected from them. There was not much she could do, but she can give the boy a fighting chance, it's the least she could do. 

Giovanni did his own research on the school, while the religious aspect did not sit well with him. The academy was the perfect place for him. A place where he can learn more, arm himself with knowledge his tutors did not teach him and more importantly find allies. He was ready and he will succeed. He doesn't have a plan B after all.

:bulletblack:Extras/Fun Facts
:bulletwhite: Giovanni has a love of singing. It was deemed appropriate enough for his tutors and parents for him to receive additional training from it in his youth. Because of this he does have a rather firm grasp on how to sing well.
:bulletwhite: He likes dolls, cute- and frilly things, though this is a love and like he has hidden from everyone. Now on the otherhand there is no one to take it away.
:bulletwhite: He has always wondered if he would look well in a dress and is quite curious in female attire.
:bulletwhite: Through all his bravado and plans, Giovanni is quite tired mentally. He's a teen on the edge of his ropes and this is his last hope. In times when nobody could see him and he's all alone, his mask drops and he just looks more hollow.
:bulletwhite: He does not regard anyone as lesser than him. He goes against that teaching. The maids and servants were the only ones that treated him with genuine kindness and he was more than grateful for that.
:bulletwhite: Is still virgin, though is not a stranger to anything sexual. Infact he's quite proficient at seducing someone. It would come in handy after all.
:bulletwhite: Yes, he is licking his finger in a seductive manner for his headshot. Because I'm worth it.

Oh hey. A Gardevoir on the internet that isn't sexualized. (Imjustkiddingpleasedonthateme) In all seriousness, he is very fabulous. In a good way.
