Yay, another digital work! This was my first time coloring digitally, and it took me seven and a half hours to complete, because my tablet is broken. xD I'm gonna get a new one soon, though, so things should go at least a little quicker. o 3o

I made him for PokePrelude on Deviantart, but have yet to submit him. xD

At any rate, here's this guy's information:

Name: Gürsel Baris (Grr-sell Brr-iss)

Name Explanation: Gürsel is Turkish for “Flowing Water”, which makes sense for the type of dance he prefers. Baris is the last name of a famous Turkish belly dancer (the type he likes)

Pokémon: Persian

Ability: Limber: The Pokemon cannot be under the PARALYZE condition while having this ability.

Gender: Male

Age: 18

Height: 5”8.6

Weight: 125 lbs

Orientation: Gay

Art Form: Dance

Nation: Eleve Mountains

Profession: Dance: Belly Dancing

Song: Düm Tek Tek - Hadise

Personality: Gürsel is a very hard worker and loves to dance. He can be cold to others, especially when they insult his line of dance (“Isn’t that a girl’s style?”), but is generally happy to show off and share with others. He’s known to act spitefully when he feels the time is right, be it acceptable or not, but doesn’t wish to get into any serious fights. He’s an appreciator of drama and good looking guys, but is also attracted to money and power. He has an addiction to piercings and gold, and tends to speak in a very lazy fashion, cutting off some letters in most words. He is inadvertently sexy, most of the time, not realizing that things he does or says can be taken in a new light, and is often the victim of ‘that’s what she said’ jokes.

History: Gürsel was born to his parents with a horrible deficit; while he could speak, he couldn’t carry a tune to save his life. When he was young, he would try to hum to the music to get his feet to move, but nothing seemed to work. Both his his parents danced a bit more classical, and didn’t seem able to help him. He was a clunky Meowth, and never thought he could land a job in the village in which he lived. So, instead of focusing on dance, he focused on raising his level enough to become a Persian, hoping that evolving would lead him to better grounds when it came to dancing. He was correct; his new body allowed him to pick up the flow of the music, and he was soon using his entire body to dance. While his style didn’t fly well with his parents at first, things are better with them, now, and he practices his art as much as he can, even if that means when he’s just standing there, talking to someone. He’s almost always dancing, because he appreciates his new body and lifestyle so much he fears stopping it, for he’s afraid it will never continue. He even moves a lot in his sleep.
