| History | Born in Johto to a small group of Sneasel living near to Mt.Silver, Buck was a troublemaker right from the start. He had two close childhood friends: Norma Jean and her twin brother Zack. The three Sneasel became well-known in their area as skilled thieves. They targeted unwary Pokemon Trainers on their travels, stealing food, medicinal items, money - anything they could get their claws onto. The trio eventually got bored of wandering around Johto (and nearly getting caught so many times) and, upon Norma Jean's persuasion, sneaked on board a ferry in Olivine bound for Castelia City in Unova. It was a long journey so it gave the Epidemic plenty of time to reach Unova. They arrived in Castelia City to a scene of chaos and carnage. The three were stunned by what was happening and were not prepared to face the hordes of undead that populated the city. Zack was killed and Norma Jean was badly injured. Buck dragged her away to Pinwheel Forest despite his own injuries and tried to nurse her back to health. But it was no good - the virus had ate its way into her system and they both knew that her mind wouldn't last much longer. Before succumbing to the disease, Norma Jean told Buck that the reason she had wanted to come to Unova was because she had heard that a Razor Claw was hidden somewhere in Nuvema Town to the south and that she had wanted it so she could evolve. She told him to go there and get it himself. "Survive, Buck," she said to him. "You must get through this. For me." Seconds later, her eyes darkened and she slashed at his eye. Buck fled before she could kill him. Towards Nuvema. |
| Appearance | Buck has a vertical scar across his left eye. The scar looks as though it's fairly new. This eye occasionally leaks pus or becomes bloodshot. In his left ear he wears a gold earring which he once stole from a Trainer just for fun. Otherwise he is just an ordinary Sneasel. |
| Personality | Buck is selfish and cowardly, caring rarely for others besides himself. Striving only to meet his own needs, he will not hesitate to flee a battle if he is putting himself in danger, even if it means leaving others behind. However, he tries his very best not to do this, especially now that the epidemic has struck, and strives to become a better person, although he will not openly admit this to anybody. Buck is intelligent and remarkably cunning, relying on his speed and quick-thinking mind to succeed in what he does. He is a very experienced thief, and is able to take things right from other people's noses without them noticing ... most of the time. Currently he tries not to steal unless he really has to, and really doesn't like having to take invaluable things from fellow survivors, such as food. In any other case, however, he will take whatever he takes a fancy in. Usually, Buck very much prefers solitude over the company of others, but since the epidemic has started he has secretly wanted the company of others. Although he tells himself this is merely for his own protection, in truth he is very lonely after losing both of his lifelong friends and wants somebody he can put his trust in ... even if they end up fighting to the death while he hides in a tree. He is very private and doesn't like it when others try to snoop into his business. |
