APPEARANCE
Salvato is a tall seventeen-year-old, reaching six feet and five inches tall. He was born with black hair that he has bleached and dyed a brilliant white color. He has vivid green eyes that glow with purpose. He has several scars on his legs and arms from a brutal attack by a Charmeleon when he was a kid, and he uses makeup to cover them as much as he can.
He typically wears designer clothes, unless he is playing a part as a less fortunate individual, in which case he will dress the part. He enjoys dressing in different ways and using makeup to increase the odds of him pulling off the part he is playing. When he isn’t playing a part for Team Rocket or his own wants/needs, he is typically wearing a designer white and black outfit that he bought with his own money.
He carries himself with confidence and grace borne from years of being taught to hold himself a certain way by his parents. In his youth, he was even taught to carry himself with his head so straight that he could carry books atop his head. He was also taught specific etiquette lessons, such as how to comport oneself around 'important' people.
HISTORY
Salvato was born in Viridian City, Kanto, to two Team Rocket Admins: Gabriel Yester and Sarah Yester (nee Fallax). Gabriel and Sarah strongly believed in Team Rocket’s purpose: to exploit Pokémon for personal benefits and to ultimately take over the world using them. They had a child because they believed that they needed to have the next generation of Rockets come from a personal place within their lives.
As Salvato was growing up, they tried to instill their own beliefs and motivations in Salvato. They raised him to be confident in himself and his abilities and to ultimately look down on people other than Team Rocket as weak and useless. Originally, Salvato believed this bullshit that his parents were trying to instill in him, and generally acted like a little shit to everyone but other Team Rocket members and their kids.
He was taught all the skills that his parents thought would be useful for a Team Rocket member. He was taught to hold himself with confidence and hold his head so high that he could carry books on his head. He was taught the ‘importance’ of fancy silverware and manipulating other people in ways that benefitted oneself.
He had a group of friends amid the other Team Rocket members’ kids, and he was the leader of the little gang. There was another kid in the gang called Caleb, and he always looked at Salvato with jealousy, but Salvato was too confident in himself to worry about Caleb’s ire towards him. Until it was too late.
One day when Salvato was about eleven years old, Caleb attacked Salvato and his pokemon, a Sprigatito that his parents had stolen for him, and when Caleb’s Charmander evolved into a Charmeleon mid-battle and defeated Salvato’s Sprigatito, Caleb had his Charmeleon attack Salvato himself.
Salvato was left in agony, cuts and burns on his legs and arms, and his Sprigatito was stolen from him by Caleb. He was found by his parents before he could be too permanently injured, though he was left with scars. His parents didn’t really care that he had been hurt, merely telling him that he should have won the battle and then he wouldn’t have gotten hurt.
It was then that Salvato realized that no one in Team Rocket had loyalty, nor did they care about each other. He began to stew in this realization, coming to terms with the fact that he would never have anyone to care about him if he continued down this path toward destruction and mayhem.
He began to hate Team Rocket, and his parents, for being so awful, and began to hate thieves in general. He began to branch out from Team Rocket, looking for ways out of the organization, but he was in very deep, having Team Rocket Admins as parents. He felt like he was trapped, and as he grew older and the other kids his age began to join the organization as Grunts, he felt he had no choice but to join them, even if he didn’t believe in them anymore.
He did his best to hide his beliefs from the other members, and followed through with the assignments he was given during his Grunt training. He was told that the Shula Region needed more TR members, and he traveled to the Shula region when he was sixteen. He got himself a civilian job as an assistant at a Floral Shop, and bought himself an Applin Egg, not wanting to accept a new pokemon from TR themselves. He trained her once she hatched, naming her “Helvetica”.
Helvetica became his constant companion, becoming his trusted friend, one that he was able to be himself with. He turned seventeen and his Grunt Training was complete, and he was made into an official TR Grunt. He still disliked Team Rocket, but still feels trapped in their organization, afraid of leaving for fear that he will be attacked by TR themselves for betraying them, and the Police for even being part of TR.
