【Eye Color】
【Red】
【Eye Wear】
【Zealo tends to wear bandages over his eyes, completely blocking view of his eyes...】
【Body Structure】
【Obstagoon is a humanoid, mammalian Pokémon that resembles a badger. Its fur is mostly black and white with grey tufts covering its ankles, forearms, and back. The coloration around its body gives it the appearance of a vest. It has a pink tongue that is always exposed and has red scleroses. It is said that Obstagoon's evolution is the result of the Galarian Linoone's survival instinct being honed from competition and harsh conditions of the Galar region. While combative to the extreme, it won't attack often as it prefers taunting an opponent into attacking it. When that happens it will take a threatening pose by crossing its arms and then releasing a staggering voice that would cause any opponent to flinch. This is known as Obstruct. By using the move, it skillfully throws the opponent off guard before countering with its sharp claws.】
【Height】
【5'07" (Taller than average)】
【Weight】
【110.4 Pounds】
【Markings?】
【Zealo has scars over and around his eyes. Places where he should have fur is completely gone and has yet to grow back yet (specifically around his eyes) Or never will. He has bandages over his eyes for this reason in specific, he is quite embarrassed by the scarring due to his vain pride in his appearance 】
【Fur/Scales/Hair?】
【fur】
【Primary Color】
【black】
【Secondary Color】

【Other colors】
【white】
【Body Modifications?】
【None】
【Distinguishing Traits】
【Zealo mainly has two distinguishing traits, one of which being the white blindfold he wears all the time over his eyes. The second being two of his teeth being golden. Both teeth were beaten out of him in two separate fights against other pokemon for various reasons. Being the vain pokemon he was, Zealo did not like gaps in his mouth, so he got them replaced by sharp, fake golden teeth. It doubles as looking sick as fuck, at least he thinks so. 】
【Opinion on theirself】
【Zealo has never been one to lack confidence within himself. Meaning he has always been confident and bold when it came to his looks. But the thing he is mostly self-conscious about is the scars around his eyes from an incident which will be later explained in his bio... 】

【perѕonalιтy】
【poѕιтιve тraιтѕ】
° Charismatic
Naturally, with so much confidence the obstagoon is not at all afraid to talk to people, nor is he afraid of large crowds. He thrives in them. When he really tries, he can bring people together rather than his usual antics tearing them apart. Due to his social nature, he has a way with many people. Zealo knows exactly when and how to push and pull a person he is talking with, meaning when to give compliments and when to jokingly knock that person down by throwing some shade. If someone is sensitive, they need more pull. If they are serious or prideful, throw some shade. Everyone is different in these regards and due to his social nature, he picks up on this fast.
° Confident
Obviously, the big guy is hard to shake, he does not fear failure and does not fear being the odd one out. He loves being the center of attention and will tolerate nothing less. This being the case, Zealo is very precise and assured in his decisions. That no matter what, he will come out unscathed. This is the attitude he takes with him through everything, that no matter what he will come out even better than before, though there could not be so much improvement when he’s already perfect in his eyes. Anyways, this mentality pushes the obstagoon to make decisions and never doubt himself. Rest assured that Zealo won’t back down, even for the worst reasons.
° hard working
Despite how Zealo acts, he does not like to slack off at all. He may play around and act a fool but when it comes to getting things done, he gets down to business. He enjoys and takes pride in getting work done, in fact most would expect Zealo to be very weak willed and lazy, but he is the opposite. He loves to be proactive and hates to merely do nothing, he needs to be doing something in order to improve himself. That especially includes wasting time, that’s another huge dislike he has as well. So, if he is not enjoying something for himself, he is out trying to do something for himself.
° creative
Finally, Zealo made a career off of music which naturally takes a certain level of creativity. That has been his job since before he lost his vision, by then he had made enough to live comfortably for most of his life now. His mind, when relaxing, often likes to wander and explore certain ideas and plan certain goals to reach since he is always proactive. This allows the obstagoon to be quite crafty in ideas or such he may have. Not to mention that in a pinch, his creative ideas can fuel the difference between life or death. This creativity can also go into more relaxed means like writing a song or even an impromptu speech or such.
【negaтιve тraιтѕ】
• crude
If you could not tell already from some of the quotes in this dude’s bio, he is very crude and vulgar. Often making very lewd remarks or even just speaking in such an undignified manner. Especially when he is supposed to be formal. Truly, there is simply no limit for the obstagoon. Not to mention the big guy is always chasing tail, if you get what I mean. So as a result, he may just get a little flirty or touchy with others around him. Does not matter who, any gender is fair game to the guy. So yeah, basically a man whore. lmao.
• Quick Tempered
this obstagoon gets angry quite fast, he does not tolerate people falling behind, in a matter of fact he is often bothered by himself because he is, well, blind. This leads himself to stagger behind the progress of others and even fall behind which only fuels his anger, for most of his life he had viewed others as people who held him back or inferiors due to his blind arrogance… But now, now it is himself who holds a group back, usually, and him alone that is inferior. Or at least he believes himself to be due to his mentality. His quick temper causes rushed and hasty decisions to be made, his anger leading him to believe ignorant things or to believe an action from anger will benefit himself and others in the long term, when in reality, it does not at all. It ushers in momentary bliss before disappointment.
• Vain
PRIDE
Who does not have just a little bit of it? Zealo has too much though, especially when it comes to his looks. It is the reason why he wears the blindfolds over his eyes in order to hide the scars all around his eyes. Zealo does not want to be seen in terrible shape nor perceived as an ugly person. So, he ensures that he is in tip top shape, but in doing so he can sometimes go too far and be quite obsessive with his looks. This can result in a type of sensitivity or defensiveness when someone criticizes his looks, especially his eyes. Don’t even mention his eyes.
Abrasive
Zealo does not care about other people’s feelings. He will be very outright and blunt with most people, the only exception to this is when he’s crushing on someone. But if that is not the case, he has typically no regard to feelings. This leads Zealo to making unnecessary enemies and hostile relationships with those around him who are not spineless. In other words, unless someone else has an ego as big as him or simply a pushover, the obstagoon tends to have very few around and sticking with him due to his abrasive nature.
• self-centered
Obviously, due to his prideful nature, he often likes to boast about his achievements. Whether that be a recent victory of some sorts to the achievements he had made in the prime of his music career. If you give the guy a chance to, he will spend every waking moment of the day talking about himself. He simply l o v e s talking about how he grew as an artist, the steps he took. Everything. This can obviously lead to some very one-sided conversations but also blind Zealo from understanding that not every situation needs to be about him, nor does it always need to be about him.

【Backstory】
~{The Blind Fool}~
Zealo was born to two obstagoons, both his parents. Together as a family, the three did not have much money. Both Zealo’s mother and father worked jobs in order to support themselves and their new child. All throughout his childhood, Zealo was told that knowledge was power from his father. That he should focus on growing into a better position in life than what he was in now. But that was not the case, his heart did not belong to any normal job or profession, but rather music. Every Sunday, his mother would play music as the two cleaned the house together. Most of the music was funk or soul, songs that were relaxing. And as time dragged on, Zealo began to really develop a love for the classics, memorizing each song by heart. This would eventually grow into a want to sing. The young pokemon bugged his parents to one day let him take singing lessons, but each time was met with a no. They could not afford such a thing and they most certainly did not want their child to go down a route of music, especially since it was a very unstable career. Obviously, they were never sure at the time if Zealo wanted to make a career out of music, but they did not want to take that risk and quickly told Zealo ‘No’.
Instead of singing lessons for a gift for his birthday or a holiday, they gave him books and journals. Journals to write in, particularly to have him practice writing, and books of varying sorts to allow Zealo to obtain more knowledge. But these gifts were not something that interested him… Well aside from the journals. The journals were something that he really loved, it started off with small little stories but grew into poems which turned into full-fledged songs. Perhaps not the best nor the most interesting of songs and poems, but everyone starts off somewhere. Eventually as Zealo grew into his teens, he had evolved into a linoone. He also began to have a growing resentment towards his parents for denying him of his passion for music, this in turn would leave him to grow an interest in rock and heavy metal music, this also included more aggressive and abrasive rap songs as well. It was a way to release his anger somehow. The linoone grew a connection to music even more because of his frustrations. It was an odd feeling for Zealo, he felt as though the songs understood him, even if they were not actual people. Whether that be simply because of the topics touched on in some of the songs or simply just because it was an outlet of sorts was a mystery to the linoone. But little did he know that he was listening to what would fuel his style of music and lift him out of his position in life.
In Zealo’s late teens he grew far more confrontational with his parents, on top of this he often snuck out of his home and went off with friends to parties and eventually dropped out of school. As soon as he did this, his parents threw him out of their house and told him not to come back unless he had an interest in learning again. Zealo, at this point, was a newly evolved Obstagoon. The obstagoon ended up living with a friend of his for a couple of months. With his family now out of the picture it seemed, Zealo had nothing. Nothing to his name either. In the meantime, Zealo would jump from friend to friend’s house as he continued to write songs. Eventually, Zealo managed to get a job as a security guard due to his size and species. Naturally, obstagoons are a very muscular species and he was no different. Zealo made money by guarding the front of stages for concerts, as a result of this, Zealo got to attend concerts for free, some being from his favorite artists.
During this time, Zealo would eventually stay with a friend named Basil (who played instruments, particularly the guitar and bass). Zealo and Basil were decent friends, but upon living with one another the two of them grew close with one another. In their spare time Basil would teach Zealo the basics of guitar. But then an idea grew in both their heads one day, Basil knew others who played instruments, the drums and another who could play bass, which would make Basil the guitarist. Zealo would be the front man.
Eventually the group was able to get together in their free time and immediately hit it off with one another. A weavile named Aradi as the drummer, Basil (a pangoro) as the guitarist, Cecil (a simisage) as the bassist, and Zealo as the voice of the band. This is how they decided to line things up for the group. From then on, the small group would have sessions together of making music and practicing instruments as well as singing. Along the way, Zealo was able to pick up the bass and moved on to an instrument he liked more, the drums.
The group learned a lot about one another through their vibing and practice sessions. Eventually it all came down to what the band would be named. Several names were thrown around between the group. Names like ‘pyramid scheme’, ‘cherry bomb’, ‘group b’, and ‘corroded’ but none of them really appealed to the group. The soon to be band wanted something more memorable and that’s what happened when Cecil came up with the name 'Chemically.' Admittedly, did the name mean anything? Not really, the rest were simply wanting a band name and thought it sounded cool. That was all the qualifications needed to pass the name.
Remember those songs mentioned earlier that zealo was writing up? The obstagoon was revising them and working on them with the band, making the instrumentals for each song as time went on. Their first album was accumulating a more rap and rock sound, it was their sound they were making. As the progression of the album went on Zealo and Cecil began to really hit things off, going so far as to getting into a relationship. Cecil shared a similar background to zealo, a yearning to chase music that was often shut down by his parents. The two could relate to one another immensely, especially since the pair were very open to one another from their time living together. This only grew with their time as a couple. After a while, the newly formed band finally released their first album with high hopes to get big.
It was highly unlikely, very few bands or artists ever got big on their first album. But the group got lucky and a song of theirs began to take off. Though to be fair, with mixed views due to some offensive lyrics in several of their songs. Ironically though, the offense people took ended up helping the band grow in attention. It energized the obstagoon and his band members. Such quick, admittedly mild, success was very unexpected. From there, things looked to be going up for the band named Chemically. After finishing up all the shows for their music, the group started working on a second album. By now they were moving up and started traveling together. The group was always on the move as they worked on music and prepared to try and top what their previous work had accomplished.
During this period Zealo had been changing. He was always a bit of an asshole but it was more evident now than ever and he was really starting to rub some of the band members off the wrong way. Zealo felt as though he was on top of the world, he was making his dreams come true. Not many got that opportunity.
Fast forward about two-and-a-half years later, Zealo and Cecil are still a couple, the band had been working together during this time to work on the second album. Instrumentals and such as well as planning the flow of each song. Everyone was involved in every process. As good as this sounded it was not exactly the most practical. Each one had a different vision for the same song. One wanted more aggression, the next wanted a more subtle song… The back and forth caused issues in the band and it caused anger with one another. Typically it was Zealo and Aradi that shared the same vision for the song, always wanting a more brutal sound to their music. To the contrary of this Cecil and Basil wanted to diversify the sound of their music beyond more violent music.
As dumb as it was, these issues within the band caused issues between Zealo and Cecil. Cecil was hurt by how Zealo always seemed to be arguing against him, even when the two were by themselves. Zealo was cold to this fact, often ignoring what was said and moving on to the next topic… But Cecil still wanted to try and make things work with the obstagoon, so he stayed with him. But things would change with the release of the second album.
It was the big day, their album had been released and it was one of the first shows of the tour. Zealo had been taking forever to get ready and Aradi was nowhere to be found. Basil went to look for Aradi while Cecil went to check on Zealo, there were a few minutes before the show would start. They needed to get on stage and get ready. When Cecil checked on Zealo, he walked in on Aradi and Zealo kissing one another. And considering just how Cecil found the pair it seemed they had plans to take it a step further. The obstagoon immediately turned to the open door, his long tongue out. Cecil was fuming angry. His face turned a bright red in anger. “GET ON THE STAGE NOW!” The simisage growled, pointing outside. They still had a show to perform, but this was his last show with the band after seeing that.
Zealo pulled the last string. Cecil wanted nothing to do with the obstagoon anymore and once the performance was over Cecil made sure to give his now ex a piece of his mind. Zealo, however, seemed shrugged the simisage off and it got under Cecil's skin. After the pair’s argument was said and done, mentioning just how much Zealo had changed, the simisage ended it with him saying, “I’m OUT!” and slamming the door on his way out. The simisage was done with the band and it seemed Basil was too because he simply shook his head at Zealo and followed shortly after Cecil. It was now Zealo and Aradi, but that did not last long. News of the now broken up band got out into the public, which was not a big deal in Zealo’s career, but the reason WHY damaged the obstagoon’s career. Controversy made the relationship between Zealo and Aradi difficult… Eventually their short lived relationship came to an end.
There was no longer Chemically, merely Zealo. All the band members went on their seperate ways. But during zealo’s time in the band he picked up the drums, the bass, the guitar… While the others went on to pursue different careers and dreams, Zealo continued to pursue music. He had to, all of his passion was in it. Zealo, now solo, used his name ZEALO AMADÁN as his stage name.
Zealo went on to perform shows here and there as side gigs before he would release his first solo album… But that would not exactly go to plan. One day while eating out at a cafe a fan would notice Zealo. In excitement he eagerly approached his favorite artist, it was a sandslash. While Zealo sat in his seat the sandslash began to pester his oh so admired song artist with things like autographs, photos…
But Zealo said no.
”Oh! But Chemically was my favorite band though! I remember I bought your first album twice, I went to three of your concerts! I remember all the lyrics to each song. I used to be bullied but your songs really got to me, understood me. You're truly an inspiration to the people like me. I've read all about you, about your past and how you were determined to overcome your parents' doubt, how they took every chance to try and stop you from pursuing your passion for music."
by now, hearing about the celebrity, people began to gather around the obstagoon as the sandslash spoke, giving his speech to Zealo.
”I’ve got so many posters and pictures of you on my wall, I listen to-”
”Alright calm down, I'm tryin'-”
”No, Zealo listen!”
”Look, I get it, you’re lovin’ my shit but you're gettin' really outta hand here. Just take the picture or get an autograph and fuck off, I’m just tryna eat right now."
Everything seemed to slow down for the sandslash… The pokemon he had admired for so long was not at all who he expected him to be. This whole interaction did not go the way that the sandslash wanted or dreamed of. Not to mention all the people watching all this take place made this experience humiliating for the ground type pokemon. Something began to swell in the sandslash as he heard his idol insult him, some of the crowd even laughing. It only made Zealo taunt the sandslash even more. Then, the ground type had enough.
He felt angry, betrayed in an odd sense, as though his dreams were crushed. That is when the life altering decision was made. The sandslash began to attack Zealo, jumping at the Obstagoon. With his naturally long claws, the sandslash began to slash at Zealo’s eyes. At first not even using actual moves before using fury swipes. Each one got the unexpecting obstagoon in the eyes but eventually the sandslash was thrown off by the obstagoon. At first Zealo thought he was fine, but he quickly realized his eyes were completely ruined. He could barely see anything; his eyes were in severe pain and blood was pooling from his face.
Panic ensued, the rockstar quickly reached for a table to lean against as he heard the voices around him. Some screaming in terror from his bleeding face while others asked if he was okay, some trying to help him. He could not see anything at all, his hands were shaking, he was shaken up from everything that had taken place.
Eventually, after the whole ordeal was taken care of and the sandslash was arrested. Zealo was taken to a doctor where they did their best to clean up the mess that was made and even tried to save his eyes… But there was too much damage for the eyes to ever recover. Zealo was not completely blind, but his vision was blurry and dark, he could not see further than a foot in front of him. Not to mention that the soon to be scars around his eyes were very prominent.
Zealo eventually returned home with some assistance. It took a while to comprehend what had happened, it was so unexpected. He did not want to rely on someone else for the rest of his life. He was far too prideful for that. Not to mention he did not like the fact that large marks were left over his eyes according to his doctor. But even worse, the thought of his career being ruined because of this, because of that sandslash. It infuriated the blind rockstar. By now he had the money to at least live comfortably, maybe even do some small stuff to get money whenever needed… But he feared being washed up before he could REALLY get started on his solo career. It would be difficult to do concerts, how would he put up a show? He used to run across the stage, stomp his feet, jump around and jump into the crowd. There was no way he could keep that same energy. It felt as though someone he loved was taken away from him.
It took the obstagoon months before he could even comprehend what had happened. By then the marks around his eyes had healed up significantly, but Zealo being the vain pokemon he was made sure to wear a white blindfold over his eyes in order to hide them. By this time Zealo knew something needed to change, what had happened was a huge smack in the face for him.
The obstagoon began to reminisce over the years, from when he was a young kid to now. He began to understand just how much he had changed. During his arguments with Cecil, the simisage had always mentioned just how much the obstagoon had changed after the success of their first album. Of course, the washed up rockstar never wanted to believe that but now he was starting to believe it.
As Zealo adjusted to his new life of being blind, he began to try and put aside his ego. It was a difficult process; old habits still ring strong. You can change as many things as you want but your personality will stick more than often. And this was more than often the case with Zealo...
【Battle Theme】
~{The Blind Fool}~
Zealo was born to two obstagoons, both his parents. Together as a family, the three did not have much money. Both Zealo’s mother and father worked jobs in order to support themselves and their new child. All throughout his childhood, Zealo was told that knowledge was power from his father. That he should focus on growing into a better position in life than what he was in now. But that was not the case, his heart did not belong to any normal job or profession, but rather music. Every Sunday, his mother would play music as the two cleaned the house together. Most of the music was funk or soul, songs that were relaxing. And as time dragged on, Zealo began to really develop a love for the classics, memorizing each song by heart. This would eventually grow into a want to sing. The young pokemon bugged his parents to one day let him take singing lessons, but each time was met with a no. They could not afford such a thing and they most certainly did not want their child to go down a route of music, especially since it was a very unstable career. Obviously, they were never sure at the time if Zealo wanted to make a career out of music, but they did not want to take that risk and quickly told Zealo ‘No’.
Instead of singing lessons for a gift for his birthday or a holiday, they gave him books and journals. Journals to write in, particularly to have him practice writing, and books of varying sorts to allow Zealo to obtain more knowledge. But these gifts were not something that interested him… Well aside from the journals. The journals were something that he really loved, it started off with small little stories but grew into poems which turned into full-fledged songs. Perhaps not the best nor the most interesting of songs and poems, but everyone starts off somewhere. Eventually as Zealo grew into his teens, he had evolved into a linoone. He also began to have a growing resentment towards his parents for denying him of his passion for music, this in turn would leave him to grow an interest in rock and heavy metal music, this also included more aggressive and abrasive rap songs as well. It was a way to release his anger somehow. The linoone grew a connection to music even more because of his frustrations. It was an odd feeling for Zealo, he felt as though the songs understood him, even if they were not actual people. Whether that be simply because of the topics touched on in some of the songs or simply just because it was an outlet of sorts was a mystery to the linoone. But little did he know that he was listening to what would fuel his style of music and lift him out of his position in life.
In Zealo’s late teens he grew far more confrontational with his parents, on top of this he often snuck out of his home and went off with friends to parties and eventually dropped out of school. As soon as he did this, his parents threw him out of their house and told him not to come back unless he had an interest in learning again. Zealo, at this point, was a newly evolved Obstagoon. The obstagoon ended up living with a friend of his for a couple of months. With his family now out of the picture it seemed, Zealo had nothing. Nothing to his name either. In the meantime, Zealo would jump from friend to friend’s house as he continued to write songs. Eventually, Zealo managed to get a job as a security guard due to his size and species. Naturally, obstagoons are a very muscular species and he was no different. Zealo made money by guarding the front of stages for concerts, as a result of this, Zealo got to attend concerts for free, some being from his favorite artists.
During this time, Zealo would eventually stay with a friend named Basil (who played instruments, particularly the guitar and bass). Zealo and Basil were decent friends, but upon living with one another the two of them grew close with one another. In their spare time Basil would teach Zealo the basics of guitar. But then an idea grew in both their heads one day, Basil knew others who played instruments, the drums and another who could play bass, which would make Basil the guitarist. Zealo would be the front man.
Eventually the group was able to get together in their free time and immediately hit it off with one another. A weavile named Aradi as the drummer, Basil (a pangoro) as the guitarist, Cecil (a simisage) as the bassist, and Zealo as the voice of the band. This is how they decided to line things up for the group. From then on, the small group would have sessions together of making music and practicing instruments as well as singing. Along the way, Zealo was able to pick up the bass and moved on to an instrument he liked more, the drums.
The group learned a lot about one another through their vibing and practice sessions. Eventually it all came down to what the band would be named. Several names were thrown around between the group. Names like ‘pyramid scheme’, ‘cherry bomb’, ‘group b’, and ‘corroded’ but none of them really appealed to the group. The soon to be band wanted something more memorable and that’s what happened when Cecil came up with the name 'Chemically.' Admittedly, did the name mean anything? Not really, the rest were simply wanting a band name and thought it sounded cool. That was all the qualifications needed to pass the name.
Remember those songs mentioned earlier that zealo was writing up? The obstagoon was revising them and working on them with the band, making the instrumentals for each song as time went on.
