Gym Leader Darian

Darian is the 7th Gym Leader of the Allustra League. He is usually challenged 7th, though in case of the main story of this region, he and Angelus are the only ones who have to be challenged 7th and 8th respectively. He is the middle child of the leaders of the Allspice Dragon Clan, and his family has lived in Allspice Town for generations. His younger and older brothers are also dragon-type specialists, though Darian is considered the strongest out of the three of them. At a first glance, Darian appears ill-tempered and vicious-- especially when it comes to battling. He's often considered reflective of the tough type he uses. He also is seen as somewhat cold yet competitive. In reality, he's not the bad boy type he portrays. If anything, his fiery side comes out due to passion. He's very used to having to prove himself to those around him to be seen by his clan but especially by his parents. In fact, he used to be the head of the gym leaders for the major Allustra conference. Angelus was the one who swept in and took that from him, and their relationship is best described as complicated. Darian knows the weaknesses of dragons well, so he tries to minimize the amount of shared weaknesses across his team if he can with the dual-typed Pokemon he uses. He also tries to ensure that he has clear answers to fairy-types so he's not bent so easily. He's currently dating Marina, an ice-type specialist and a member of the minor Allustra league. His ace is his Altaria, who is he is more than willing to mega-evolve, even in his initial battle.  Darian Rosewater- Me (@circifox) Pokemon- The Pokemon Company, GameFreak, Nintendo
