Name: Nyx Nicknames: Nyxie Species: Pikachu [normal] Gender: Female Fraction: None
Hold Item: None Ability: Static Gift: Being utterly blind, Nyx has received the gift of seeing with her feet- er paws. Actually, she has an acute sense of touch and vibration, therefore, she can see with her whole body. Instead of using her eyes to see the world, she takes in vibrations from the ground to pinpoint wherever her target may be. Whether that someone or something may be beside her or a mile away, Nyx would be able sense where he or she may be. Unfortunately, this delicate sense of touch would be thrown off in air, water and sand. Within air, there would be no place for vibrations to reach her. Since air is very thin, vibrations and such, whiz past her before her body could tell where it was coming from, unless it was a voice. Within water, vibrations would do the same thing, speeding past her and around her. However, water is much easier to take vibrations from. Unfortunately, Nyx has yet to master pinpointing things in water. Sand, on the other hand, is way too shifty and soft. Therefore, Nyx tries her best to stay on solid ground. Her gift would also be completely useless against flying type pokemon, for she wouldn’t be able to pinpoint their location as they flew around her. Talents: Nyx is quite the acrobat. Being small and swift, the little pikachu can leap from tree to tree with ease. She can leap long distances and even climb her way into buildings if she had enough footing. You could say any pikachu could usually do that, but Nyx can do more. She’s extremely fast for a pokemon, even for one of her size. Unfortunately, her speed is only helpful if she knows exactly where her opponent is. Adding to that, she cannot strain herself for running excessively zaps her energy. However, her speed does help her dodge others and act fast when in danger. Attacks: Double Team, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Quick Attack, Volt Tackle, Dig, Rock Smash, Iron Tail, Thief, Slam
Description: Cute, small and yellow would be a simple description of this little pikachu. Nyx looks like any run of the mill pikachu with a smooth butter-colored fur, black-tipped ears and red cheek circles. Upon her back are three brown stripes that match the jagged base of her lightning-bolt tail. However, there are a few things that set her apart from her kind.
Believe it or not, but Nyx is blind. Oh what? Many can usually tell by the way she faintly stares into the distance with no real subject to where she’s looking. Or the way she might not look into a pokemon’s eyes, but instead stare at their feet or the fluff on their chest due to the fact that, that pokemon might be taller than Nyx, herself. However, most people can usually tell by the cloudy coating over her original shiny black eyes.
Adding to that, Nyx’s size would also separate her from the crowd. She’s shorter than the average pikachu, but that usually works to her advantage. Able to squeeze into the tightest spaces, her size allows her to work her way into buildings and find various hiding places. Her tail is also a bit different. Instead of a flat edge along the end of her tail, the edge is rounded into a sort of heart-shaped top.
Personality: Being blind has taken its toll on her personality. She’s a bit quieter than most and sometimes appears far-off. However, it is ordinary Nyxie behavior. Always standing a few feet away from those she knows, Nyx is usually clueless about how strange and anti-social it may seem and often acting quiet, Nyx is just usually trying to pinpoint the direction she’s going and what’s around her. Unfortunately, this comes off as angry and mean when she really is quite sweet.
Nyx absolutely loves to have fun. Well studied in sarcasm, she’s not afraid of taunting and making fun of people. It might be a bit fool-hearty, but she wouldn’t care. Thus, Nyx is definitely carefree. She’s been living alone all her life and she knows how to take care of herself. She believes that if she gets into a situation she’d be able to get herself of out it no matter what. Unfortunately she’s sometimes a bit too cocky for her own good.
However, Nyx can be pretty serious, especially when she talks about her history. She’s a bit secretive and doesn’t find it easy to trust. Whenever someone asks her about her past, she would immediately snap at them and change the subject, which introduces her temper. She absolutely hates being fretted over just because she’s blind. She knows how to take care of herself and she’ll definitely make that known. Treating her like a little princess just causes her to feel weak. Plus, it reminds her of how her parents treated her and why she left them. Adding to that, she hates being made fun of for being blind. Many underestimate her ability. She can see, just not in the way most pokemon think. Wave a hand in front of her face, she will most likely bite it, and being as quick as an ekans, she will strike without missing.
History: Nyx’s history is something she guards stubbornly. She doesn’t know exactly where she was born, nor does she remember it, but she does know that she was born in the wild. Neither one of her parents were part of a gang and to this day, Nyx has been going solo just as well. Nyx can hardly remember when she could see except that the world was beautiful and her sight was short lived for around the time she was just getting the hang of her thundershock, she had gotten herself in trouble with an angry torkoal, costing her, her sight.
Being the mischievous pichu she was, Nyx was practicing her thundershock on a few rocks when she saw a sleeping torkoal in the distance. Thinking it would be fun to practice her thundershock on a live pokemon, Nyx foolishly sent a shattering lightning bolt toward the fire-pokemon, which definitely caught its attention. She thought it wouldn’t hurt the turtle-like torkoal, seeing that it had a shell and was safely inside it, but it definitely ticked it off. Emerging from it’s shell, the pokemon erupted, surrounding itself with steam. If only Nyx had known about torkoal’s notorious temper, she would high-tailed it out of there before it used fire spin and possibly saving her eyes.
Unfortunately, Nyx stood her ground, curious about what the pokemon was up to. Retreating back into it’s shell, the torkoal sent fire spinning around it, spreading outward toward the naïve pichu. Nyx didn’t have enough time to run for by the time she realized she was in danger, her eyes were singed, sending her whole world into darkness.
Her family was left to find a distorted Nyx beside a furious torkoal who would’ve finished the young pokemon off it wasn’t for her the fact that it started raining. Nyx was devastated to find that once she regained consciousness, she couldn’t see one bit of that beautiful world she had so cherished. Her family was just as shocked. Their poor little pichu was permanently blind. They tried everything to heal her eyes from crushed oran berries to consulting psychic pokemon for guidance. However there was something they hadn’t tried- evolution. Thinking that by evolving Nyx into a pikachu, her eyes would return to normal, they trained her brutally. Nyx became strong and soon evolved. Unfortunately, she was still as blind as she was as a pichu.
From that moment on, her parents smothered her and kept her safe, saying that she was too fragile to be out in the world alone. She could never leave their territory without an escort. She had food tasted for her before she could eat it. Nyx lacked freedom to even explore the grass alone. Therefore, she ran away. Fed-up with the fact that her parents were treating her like an egg and that she was a definite disappointment, she didn’t look back- not that she could. Soon, Nyx learned how to see using her sense of touch and has been alone since then, just trying to survive.

That's Faction, not Fraction. :DD
Other than that minor detail, it looks perfectly readable to me. I'll accept this profile~.
