[[DROPPED]] Contest Host Mettaton

BIOGRAPHY

His small family were vagrants with little to their name simply because they were content with a life free of most possessions and troubles. Most of his childhood was spent on the outskirts of the mountains surrounding the Twisted Caves and Old Denali Town. They called Old Denali Town home for quite awhile due to it being abandoned but still (mostly) together and in decent condition aside from the surplus of plants and Pokemon. However, unlike his family he had large dreams for himself and spent much of his childhood longing for something better.

Once in Old Denali Town he ended up befriending a Misdreavus. He'd made slight friendships with Pokemon before, but never lived in one place long enough to really bond with one. FInally having a close Pokemon friend to accompany him on the journey he'd always longed to embark on he couldn't suppress his desire for fame any longer. He left his family and headed East, with nothing but the Misdreavus, the clothes on his back, and the pokegear on his wrist.

He traveled to Patoh City, obtaining a handful of Pokemon and reinventing himself along the way. He quickly made a name for himself by holding contests, interviews, and other various entertainment shows.

He quickly outgrew the town though, his rapidly springing popularity giving him both the drive and the finances to move to Kyles City-- a place he'd always dreamed of living. He didn't waste any time in making a name for himself there, gaining enough traction to run the city's contest hall and open a Mettaton-themed resort.

Mettaton now spends most of his time hosting contests and interviewing interesting or important people, although he will also happily star in plays, musicals, television shows, cooking shows-- really anything that catches his eye. As much as time allows, of course. He's a popular and busy man, after all! (He's always busy with /something/ though, for as much as that's just the sort of person he is he also has to keep himself current.)

While Mettaton can easily embrace being a one-man show, he's often accompanied by most (if not all) of his Pokemon. Aside from being utterly fabulous assistants they double as his on-the-go film crew.

PERSONALITY

Loud and charming, he's a natural in the spotlight and wont settle for less than the best.
He cares deeply about his family despite abruptly leaving them and the lack of contact he's had with them since his departure. He still harbors some guilt over leaving, unsure if there are any hard feelings there. He prefers not to address or think about that though and hasn't attempted to contact or visit them in any way since he left for Patoh. (Truth be told, he's a little afraid to. And going back so close to Old Denali Town made him nervous at first, although once you're in Kyles it's easy to forget there's even a desert and abandoned town nearby. Mettaton is also very good at keeping himself busy and distracted.)

He doesn't ever talk about where he's from, both out of mixed feelings (guilt over leaving and worry over such a shameful upbringing tarnishing his image) and because it adds a touch of mystery to his alluring charm.

He's a very in-your-face sort of person who knows how to go with the flow and make the best out of most situations. Despite being a natural host he welcomes unexpected turns of events and drama, pretty much anything the viewers at home would enjoy is a plus in his book.

Egotistical possibly to a fault, he can often come off narcissistic and even cruel at times. (Though his cruelty comes more from thoughtlessness than any malicious intent.) Fame has certainly gotten to his head after becoming even more famous than he anticipated. He now revels in basking in the spotlight, slapping his name and face on far more than just his resort. All the same, he loves his fans and greatly enjoys speaking to and interacting with them. He'll often drop by his resort to do just that.

He has an appreciation for Ghost Pokemon (his Misdreavus being his first Pokemon) and all things fabulous (he wants to be the biggest star around but he still can appreciate fabulous things even if they aren't MTT brand).
