VISCOUNT FLORIAN

[admin]

VISCOUNT FLORIAN the de facto leader of the Brotherhood of Roses. He preaches healthy, natural living, a pokemon-free diet, and free range breeding as a higher moral standard everyone should adhere to. He tries to avoid arguing with people that disagree with him, but he doesn't always try very hard.

"Do you know where your scrambled eggs and bacon come from? Torchics and tepigs, not even allowed to evolve before they're slaughtered!"

For all his flaws, stubbornness being the foremost among them, Florian has a significant cult following. He's a bleeding heart that cares deeply for the rights of pokemon. He abhors battling, making him and the rest of his society an outcast among breeders, and instead tries to spread a message of peace, love, and unity with all pokemon and people.

Florian is the spokesman for a group of younger breeders in Kohaku, whose philosophies align closer to those of other regions. He thinks raising pokemon just to make them fight is barbaric and cruel. The breeders that agree have flocked to the Brotherhood of the Rose.

He regards the eos breeders with discomfort verging on distaste. Not only are they breeding pokemon to fight, they're breeding them to die. Florian has not seen the scourge for himself and can't tell you if the ends justify the means. He thinks not, but for once, he can see the other side.
