Appearance: Tall, but not overly so, Cilan has a slim build and a pale complexion. His eyes and hair were a matching bright, spring green before shifting, the former having become a more natural shade of green. His short, tufted hair though became a dark brown for some reason, although he dyed it back to green at the first opportunity.
Cilan dresses rather formally in a collared, white, long sleeved shirt that is covered by a black waistcoat with gold buttons. His trousers are also black and his shoes a light brown with gold. He also wears a rather large bow tie in green, his signature colour if you haven't guessed by now!
Carrying himself with confidence, Cilan is perhaps overly expressive, with signs of how he's feeling being immediately distinguishable by his body language and facial expressions. He is usually seen with a bright smile on his face, making him rather approachable to most.
Personality: Polite and cheerful, Cilan is almost always friendly and considerate toward others, whether they welcome it or not. He has a knack for 'reading' others, meaning he can quickly figure out their personalities and the best way to approach them. He doesn't always get this right, but nine times out of ten it seems to work well enough to avoid too much trouble! Patient and caring, he often offers advice to those who need it or are just feeling a little lost.
Although quick to lose his temper when something gets to him (such as extreme laziness or those who deliberately hurt others), it doesn't take him long to snap out of it and return to his usual, at times over excitable and hyper active, self. Cilan is also an optimist, preferring to look on the bright side of things and see the best in people. Most would probably be unable to tolerate his at times highly exaggerated emotions and gestures, which make him seem around half his age, but those who a tolerant will have this tolerance returned, as well as the loyalty that could only be shown by a true friend!
A sceptic, Cilan has a hard time believing in any kind of paranormal activity (generally excluding pokemon attacks) and will go out of his way to come up with a scientific explanation for such occurrences. When this fails though, he will most likely be the first to flee, usually accompanied by a load of arm waving and screaming!
His hobbies include cooking, trains and solving mysteries, as well as training his pokemon. When indulging in said hobbies, he is extremely enthusiastic, even having a hat for such occasions! He also loves to fish, using a lure shaped like himself for some strange reason. He also has a thing for science and anything to do with alien life, despite his scepticism about the parnormal. It should be mentioned that he has a small obsession with cleanliness, particularly of his cooking utensils which are meticulously cleaned and polished after every use and causes him great distress should they become dirty again before further intended use.

Right Up to that Key Moment
History:
Growing up in Striaton City with his two brothers, Chilli and Cress, Cilan received his first pokemon, a pansage, when he was young. He, along with his brothers, grew up to become the city's gym leaders, their gym doubling as a restaurant in which they work when not battling pokemon trainers.
Meeting Ash and Iris for the first time upon their visit to the city, Cilan was quite taken with their rare pokemon. Happily offering to lead them to the gym, he sits them down in the restaurant, confusing the pair. With the help of his brother he toyed with Ash, who had wanted to challenge the gym, for a while before the three introduced themselves and accepted his challenge. Eventually defeated them, Ash was awarded the Trio Badge for his efforts.
Later meeting at the local Pokemon Center, Cilan began to ruthlessly and enthusiastically question Ash on his battling and training techniques, before deciding to travel with him on his journey. He revealed that, as well as a gym leader, he was also a Pokemon Connoisseur, a trainer who specialises in assessing the compatibility of trainers and their pokemon. He later revealed that he was an A class connoisseur, after meeting a C class that had sworn revenge on him for defeating her at the gym and seemingly humiliating her.
After further travels with his new friends, Cilan is left alone after his younger travellings companions knock a leaf into his cooking whilst fooling around, causing him to spill it in a rage. When Iris defuses the situations by offering the group some apples, he suggests that they leave him in peace to make a fresh meal. Shortly after this, he was shifted, with memories of his past and former life becoming hazy. He has vague memories of his brothers, friends and the world in which he lived, but recalling them is turning out to be more like trying to recall a fading dream. Instead, he has chosen to direct his overly abundant energy into his new duty as a waiter at
Key Moment: After Ash and Iris ruin his cooking and he suggests that they go 'play' elsewhere ("Ash and Trip's Third Battle!"). He shifts whilst waiting for them to return.

A Roleplaying Shift
RP Sample:
After the sudden appearance of a bright light, Cilan found himself no longer in the forest, but instead a place that was alive with activity. He couldn't see any pokemon, but there surely were a lot of people that seemed to be in a mad hurry. It rather reminded him of Castelia City, but something wasn't right. For one, where were pansage and the others? He had picked up his bag shortly before the light had appeared, so he had the empty pokeballs, among other things at least.
"Argh, where, am I?", the formally (although he hadn't noticed) green haired man asked frantically to anyone who was listening as his hands flew toward the top of his head in dramatic fashion. He didn't recognise this place at all, but then something else occurred to him. Who was he exactly? He knew that he was Cilan and that he was a gym leader of Striaton City Gym, but other than that things were a little hazy. He could feel himself starting to panic, causing him to fold his arms and close his eyes in order to calm himself.
"Obviously, this is a dream", he assured himself loudly as people were beginning to give him a wide berth. "It's scientifically impossible for a human such as myself to teleport somewhere else, therefore I'm dreaming." Then again, what if this was real and the world in which he had come from had been the dream? Memories of his brothers, his friends and even his beloved pokemon quickly began to fade as he glanced around the area. There were still plenty of people around, so perhaps one of them could tell him where he was? Either way, there was a mystery to be solved that required clues in order to find out what this strange place was and how he had gotten here, which of course meant that...
"It's detective time!", he cried out enthusiastically as he reached for his magnifying glass. It hadn't been as fast a process as normal, in fact everything seemed to take longer here, but after a little fumbling he had found both his magnifying glass, and even his 'detective hat'. By now, people really were starting to give this strange young man a wide berth, except a small group of men in black suits that made their way toward him. Cilan hadn't noticed though, until that is he looked up through his magnifying glass to the heavily magnified face of one of the men.
"Argh!", he cried out as he fell backwards, landing on his backside as the man looked over him.
"Don't worry sir, we're here to help, the man assured him as he offered a hand to help him up. As he accepted the hand, the suited person began to explain to him about a process known as shifting and that they should go to a place called Tenebrae. He then asked him for his name.
"My name is Cilan, a pleasure to meet you", he introduced himself with a short bow before folding his arms. And I find it hard to believe that I have been transported to another universe, for one it is a scientic impossibility...
And so he continued, coming up with all kinds of scenarios that caused the suits to each exchange glances much to say 'what kind of whack job have we got here'?
"Yes, well, we'll need you to come with us", one eventually told him when they could get a word in edgeways. "We are trying to find out what is causing characters such as yourself to shift from their own worlds, but right now we need you at Tenebrae. 'Character' was certainly one way to describe him anyway, and he paused thoughtfully before speaking again.
"Okay, but are Ash and Iris there?", he asked before edging closer, and pansage and dwebble and -"
"Just come with us sir, and we'll see if we can find your friends", came the reply from the suits, who were beginning to lose patience. With little else to do, it seemed Cilan had little choice but to follow for now. Hopefully the others hadn't wandered off too far, then they could find a way back so he could finish his cooking.
