As life changes, so do certain aspects of it.
And since I am dealing with big situations in my life and finding out more about myself it's only natural that characters change too.
My previous pokesona Elloise is officially retiring as a sona and may reappear in the future as a typical character once I establish myself a little better.

But right now Thompson is who it is.
He shares my name, much like Elloise shared one of my names.

It was a complete coincident that me and my partner chose Pokemon from the same game, but Ruby was the third Pokemon game I ever owned.
It was a gift from by grandpa and uncle for a christmas that didn't have any actual gifts under a tree and my starter was Mudkip named Swampy.
This was at a time where the pokedex had never been spoiled to me, so everything was a new and genuine experience and its funny that Swampy ended up being a Swampert.
But I've always held the Pokemon really close to myself and could never put myself with another starter from the game.
So that's how we ended up here with me having a Swampert and Corde having a Blaziken.

I hope he is well received and that people can enjoy him a little bit.
