Height: 5'11
Weight: 138 lbs.

Skills/Talents:

• Charisma: Thanks to his awareness of his handsome appearance, Armand takes advantage of it to convince anyone or persuade them without relying on force first. He is also careful with his words, trying his best to make things clear while avoiding any miscommunication on his end.
• First-Aid: Stemming his years of majoring in animal biology and working as a volunteer at an animal shelter, he often tends to others' wounds in a matter of seconds, especially to himself and Digimon. Because of this, he tends to carry around a small first-aid kit inside his bag whenever possible.
• Analytical: What makes up for his initial lack of fighting experience is his brain. Whether to make an escape route or a plan to stop a Digimon in his Spirit Sprite form, he will stop and focus on strategizing before he can act.
• Bilingual: Along with his native French, he is fluent in both Japanese and English.
• Perception: Armand is perceptive around people and animals including Digimon and will notice any small details he found on them along with his surroundings.

Personality: If you can describe him in 3 words, he would be kind, sociable, and curious about everything around him. What's ironic about Armand is that those three traits are genuine to him, something that you can't expect to find in a Spirit User of Shadow. A charismatic fellow, Armand is a shameless extrovert willing to get to know everyone he meets whether they are human or Digimon. Yet he is also empathetic, willing to give them space and help as much as possible whether through creative ways or trying to reach through their issues stemming from their daily lives or pasts. He is also kind to everyone around him and even in the face of danger, he never runs away without helping anyone in need nearby or trying to defend them with everything he has, that includes using his Spirit Element of Shadow.

As he mostly relies on peacekeeping, Armand tends to rely on his words to convince his opponent to stand down, fearing any unwanted fights coming his way. However, he is no coward or a naive pacifist as whether he's facing an evil Digimon, Tamer, Spirit User, or Xros General trying to take advantage of them along with other humans, he is not willing to back down without a fight, willing to use force and trickery if necessary. Despite this, he tends to spare his opponents, unwilling to load them to an egg or death unless he had no other option in that situation.

Another point is his curiosity. Whether it's Digimon, the mystery behind his chosen status as a Spirit User, the Digital World, and the Spirit Element he possesses, he is willing to know more regardless of his current situation around him. He is also willing to jump first into a situation either to satisfy his curiosity or help someone, mostly stemming from his kindness and empathy for whom he wanted to help and defend against someone ill-minded.

But despite his facade as the nice guy, he is not without his faults. Namely that his curiosity and kindness often give him a one-track mind at a single objective right in front of him. This often labels him as forgetful as he tends to ignore his surroundings or the people around him just to focus on his research or goal in mind. He is not good at organizing as he tends to leave his apartment a mess and often cleans it up a bit too late once he snaps out of his curiosity stupor. That's not to say he's too messy as he does focus on his appearance, though not too much that some might label him as narcissistic.

He can be a bit naive, thinking that there is good in everyone as long as he gets through them with empathy, which often leads him to peculiar situations that always resulted in a fight or worse.

Other than that, Armand is nothing more than a nice guy with a curiosity streak...

Appearance: Armand looks surprisingly young and handsome for a 30-years-old man. With his black curly neck-length hair and gray eyes along with his somewhat lanky build, he tends to be mistaken as a model by some people. His attire mostly consists of dress shirts, jackets, pants, and loafers with his main one being a blue dress shirt, black slacks, and brown loafers. Despite this, he does have a habit of wearing awful sock colors such as orange over his loafers and follows some questionable fashion choices. In fact, this is one way to figure out who is in control of his wardrobe as Shade is somehow following the current trends.

FaceClaim: POKEMON X AND Y • Professor Augustine Sycamore • Armand Feltome

Personal History: Born and raised as a half-Japanese to a French father and Japanese mother in Paris, France, Armand lived a mostly normal childhood there as he made many friends from kindergarten to elementary. As his father was a zookeeper, Armand grew interested in animals and wished to work with them when he grew up. While he lived a sheltered life during elementary, his friends telling him stories of their vacations abroad made him wish to study outside France. But because he was initially the only son before his sister's birth during middle school and his parents' busy schedules along with the family budget, it took him until his high school graduation to finally achieve his dream to study abroad. And thanks to his mother, he managed to get a scholarship to Tokyo University with a major in biology.

Upon moving to Tokyo, Armand became overwhelmed with culture shock from how different Japan was compared to his home country. Because of this, he had difficulties in his first year at Tokyo University as his extroverted personality initially alienated some Japanese students there. But once he got used to the customs, he eventually made some good friends there and eventually graduated with flying colors.

Eventually, he became a biology professor at a university in Shibuya while volunteering at an animal shelter there in hopes of helping some animals there. He was still in contact with his parents and younger sister, who was back in Paris attending college there. Yet even with his accomplishments and good friends there, he felt like he didn't achieve anything due to his growing curiosity about the world around him. While he is satisfied with his current life right now, it would soon change when a strange black device was transformed from his smartphone with a peculiar message:

"You are Chosen."



Spirit Element: Shadow

Armand's Spirit, on the other hand, is the polar opposite of him.

Nicknamed "Shade" by Armand, he's a Spirit who is the main definition of Shadow: manipulative, secretive, and mischievous. While he isn't as crazy or sociopathic as anyone expected for a Spirit of Shadow, he enjoys messing with anyone whether they are friends or enemies, especially when manipulating them either to take advantage of their weakness or just for the lolz. He loves making things difficult for Armand and himself by making enemies out of his opponents or just possessing him to fight, thinking he might get a bit of a challenge after being cooped up as a hostless Spirit for so long. Adding to his list of trolling his Spirit User is keeping everything about himself and the basics of Spirit Evolution a secret until it's too late as he loves to see Armand struggle to survive in the Digital World and against wild and evil Digimon while trying to figure things out on his own.

Yet underneath his attempts to mess with Armand every day, he is actually protective and tends to grow serious when his user is in danger. He does share a bit of Armand's belief in life as he loads his opponents permanently when they have no choice for that matter. Surprisingly, he is a good minder to Armand's nativity, often calling him out for his one-track mind and his blind belief in good humans and Digimon. Not to mention he is very perceptive and often observes someone if they are good in his eyes or not before he reacts.

So whether you label Armand's Spirit as an enemy, annoyance, or a troll, Shade is still a Spirit of Shadow for a good reason. Underestimate either of them and you will end up lost in the shadows.
