HISTORY
"Sticky Hold Security - Protect yourself from item theft!"
As a young man,Tower's father, Don, moved to Gentle Falls - the bustling economic and geographical center of the Lucerne Region - in search of opportunity and wealth. The economic prosperity of the town left him wonderstruck when compared to his humble, mountain-home beginnings, but he knew fully well that just because he had moved to a wealthy town didn't mean that Pokècoins would magically fall into his empty pockets.
It was not long after witnessing the bustling commerce that took part in the heart of Lucerne that the seeds of a vision were planted in Don's mind: a business to protect the cash and assets that sped all around Gentle Falls and the surrounding beneficiary towns that prosper from its commerce. It was then that Sticky Hold (S.H.) Security was born.
Over the years, S.H. Security garnered a reputation as the premier private security service - specializing in keeping currency and valuables safe during transportation. It was said that the mere presence of Don trudging beside a travelling wagon urged preying bandits to wait and select a different victim to rob.
Tower was born into a household of wealth and opulence that was derived from his father's success as a businessman. S.H. Security had since become a family business with his mother, Aria, and his older brother, Kite, manning the passenger's side and front of a wagon respectively while his father, as had always been done, was stationed on the driver's side. Just as his older brother before him was, Tower was thrust into service as soon as he was capable, becoming the designated rear-man. Not much longer after Tower was born and put to work, however, the course of Gentle Falls would be steered in a completely new direction. A threat - one far greater in scope than any that had ever come before - had arrived in town. They called themselves the Brawlers.
The Brawlers, led by Yakuza, the Obstagoon, tormented the citizens of Gentle Falls, even robbing any unfortunate soul that they happened to come upon. In the beginning, S.H. Security continued to thrive, if not more so than before considering the sudden demand for security. But Yakuza was smart - S.H. Security had thwarted plenty of robberies committed by Brawler underlings, but with that, they always reported back to Yakuza with a near-identical story: their robbery was stopped by a Bastiodon, a Rhyperior, a Larvitar, and an Aron. With that, Yakuza along with Rickety, the Coalossal, and Damien, the Centiskorch, tracked down a wagon that was being escorted by S.H. Security to take matters into their own hands.
It was a routine bank escort, nothing unfamiliar to Don and his family. Having taken their usual positions, they went on their way through the forest towards Persian's bank. As the family approached a stone bridge that was no more than thirty feet long - the only route over the short river that they needed to cross, Don's eagle-eye and intuition spotted a familiar sign of bandits: a small clearing in the nearby brush to be used to emerge from cover, immediately beside a particularly and unusually dense wall of leaves to adequately obscure the bandits' form(s). He tapped his son, Kite's, back - a gesture indicating what he was about to do - who looked back to communicate this with Aria on the passenger's side who lastly did the same as a warning to Tower, guarding the rear as he always had.
An earthquake violently shook the ground, upturning stones and causing large branches to fall from nearby trees. Upon its conclusion, the family waited beside the wagon for any signs of other life before they decided to continue on their trek. After a few seconds of delay, to Don's dismay, three figures did indeed emerge from the small clearing in the forest - far larger Pokèmon than he had hoped. The three Pokèmon Coolly walked over: an Obstagoon who Don recognized as Yakuza, the leader of the Brawlers, followed by a Coalossal and a Centiskorch sauntering side-by-side. For the first time in his career, Don was being confronted by more than just a few punks and thugs - this was the real deal.
As if in-sync, Don and Aria used Stone Edge, each targeting one of the Pokèmon that trailed behind Yakuza so as to take down the easier pickings before handling the big dog
Being the first to react to the expected offense, Damien used Inferno, casting out flames towards the two sharp rocks that were hurled in his direction, the once-airborne stones losing momentum and falling to the grass as a glowing, orange goop.
With this one interaction, the victor was clear to all parties, Kite and Tower only able to watch as their parents conceded the contents of the wagon to an all-too-smug Yakuza. With the Pokècoins loaded into each of the Brawlers' bags, Yakuza sarcastically thanked the family for their service and tossed Kite and Tower each a Pokècoin of their own before retreating back into the woods.
Upon returning home, Don announced a decision that he had made: all escorts will now be conducted by him and him only. He couldn't endanger his family, he explained - especially not with such a large threat looming. This announcement didn't go without disapproval from the kids, but Aria agreed; she understood what he meant. This wasn't for her safety - it was for the kids'. And with that, Don's decision was made final and the family went about their own business in the house.
Away from his parents, Tower approached his brother who was sitting in his room to voice his own thoughts about the incident:
"That was insane!" Tower exclaimed. "Did you see how strong those guys were? I mean-!"
"Shut up." his brother growled, clearly unhappy with Tower's overly-cheerful tone.
"What? I-"
"SHUT UP!"
A silent pause began between the two.
-
-
"What's wrong, Kite?"
-
-
-
"Kite..."
"Do you understand what just happened?"
"Are you really that dense?"
-
"..."
-
"We lost, Tower..."
"We let people down."
"Yeah, but they were stronger than us! What else could we have done?"
"Nothing."
"Exactly! They were strong - they earned that money!"
"I mean, look at how rich Dad is! It's because he's strong. But they were stronger. That's so impressive!"
"It's not about how strong they are! That's not impor-"
"But it is! They coul-"
"NO. How can you even think that?? They did something that's wrong."
"But why is it wrong? Don't they deserve to have that money?"
"Kite, how did Dad get us all the money that we have?"
"By being strong."
"They're just doing the same thing."
"The same thing, Tower?? Don't ever compare Dad with those people again!"
"But-"
"BUT? If you think they're so great, why don't you go become one of those thieves?"
"Huh? It's not like you earned any of the money we have anyways!"
"I-"
"Do you know why Dad has you in the back of the cart? It's because you're useless. We all know it - Dad knows it, Mom knows it, and I know it."
"..."
"..."
With this, Tower left home at 14 years old - he didn't know what his family thought, said, or felt after he left and he still doesn't. After two days of vagrancy, he found himself in the Rogues District at the border of Gentle Falls. Here he found a place to set up shop; a shabby room to call home as he made his way up the outlaw ladder.
With his knowledge of the geography of Lucerne, the practices of cargo escorts, and the blunders of other bandits, Tower began his newfound career: robbing those who travel on Lucerne's now all-so-treacherous roads. Aside from his primary work, Tower also picks up other jobs that he gets word of if he's up for it. On less familiar jobs, his steel-plated defense coupled with his immense mass provide him a strong affinity for brute force - though this proves to be a hinderance for tasks that require a greater degree of dexterity.
After 5 years of outlaw work, Tower has become experienced in the trade and has developed a degree of notoriety within the outlaw community. Though should he want to grow his reputation in the underground, Tower will have to grow his aspirations and scope - and this is precisely what he intends on doing.
