Known Facts:
{{All facts gotten from his wiki.}}
®» Is Giovanni's son.
®» Hates the weak - people, trainers, Pokemon, [the current] Team Rocket.
®» Views pokemon as tools of war and has a harsh battle style. [This eventually gets... somewhat better as he has a Crobat at the end of the games, but it can be said that he sees them as invaluable tools, not disposable tools. All other pokemon though.... :|
®» Is harsh and abusive to his pokemon. Works them to the bone and doesn't really care about them, but - see above. Also, the only pokemon he's not truly abusive to is Bree, though might be as she was a birthday gift. That and when he pulled her tail she bit him. .
®» Even if he loses, he claims it's because the player got lucky and they are still weak..
®» He's a bully.
Headcanon: ®» He's an only child. His mother died when he was young - this resulted in the boy growing up to be a bit of a spoilt brat.
®» Kanto is most likely his home region, with his home town being Viridian City.
®» He used to have a toy Sneasel that he carried everywhere with him.
®» He can be pretty callous at times, and while he hates hates losing, he will keep a promise made before a battle, though grudgingly if it's one that he really doesn't like.
®» He'll only take his pokemon to a pokecenter if he has no other choice and even then, he'll be standoffish and distant.
®» He will battle another trainer, regardless, though if information's more important, he'll get that first and then see about getting a battle.
®» He likes to push another person's buttons, get them riled up, laughing or grinning. By the same token, if his own are pushed, he does have a tempter.
®» While he is an abusive jerk, there are rare times when he honestly shows that he can be a decent human being towards others - because as much as his Pokemon are tools, they are his tools and he's honestly hate to lose one. Though he'd hide it under his normal attitude, and or take it out on his remaining Pokemon.
®» Silver is a person who should never have been allowed to have a Pokemon, given the way he treats them. He has no qualms about pushing or kicking even a Feraligatr, or ordering it to fight even passed the point of exhaustion. Surprisingly while yes, his pokemon are loyal out of fear, there's also that innate loyalty due to having bonded with the trainer.
®» He often makes his own Pokemon battle one another, either just using another Pokemon to punish another, or working them till they drop.
®» Silver grew up around Team Rocket and watching how they more or less treated Pokemon has influenced him, a lot. Seeing the disposable way they were used and experimented on even, the motto of exploit Pokemon for profit and seeing how quickly the ones that were weak were disposed of, has shaped his world view that only the strong have right to remain, while those that are weak are abandoned.
®» In this vein, Silver uses trainer and master interchangeably, as they are the same thing in his mind. Pokemon are tools, slaves and the trainer's it's master.
®» Silver's got a legit trainers licence - he got it at the age of ten (after much pleading and begging), due to his father who was, at the time, also a gym leader as well as the Rocket Boss. While most kids who get there's at at this age go on trainer journeys, Silver was not allowed. Dear boy, SCHOOL is more important.
®» As he's the Rocket Heir, it's within his right to do whatever the hell he wants with Team Rocket - current goal to destroy them. He has little use for the weak. However, it's not a given that he won't rebuild them to make them stronger - because it is the life that he was raised in. Though this would come later, after he's done some growing up and matured and realised a whole lot of things and that it's the current team rocket that's weak, useless, for the most part.
» when the PC does this, Silver's not impressed. And possibly holds somewhat of a grudge because damnit! THAT WAS HIS JOB. :|
®» Silver, while stating that he hates Team Rocket, has never, to my knowledge, stated that he's given up the position of the Heir. His drive to destroy them comes from the fact that he made that promise to get stronger on his own when he was about 13 - and it was a promise driven by strong emotions and sense of loss - of abandonment by a father who was ultimately a selfish coward. Silver's world, as far as he knew, had just been shattered. His father - the one man that he'd looked up to, was running away like a coward and Silver didn't understand why and he couldn't at the time, too focused on what he saw. That his Father was a coward, and that means the Team Rocket must be a bunch as well.
®» Fast-forward three years and Silver still doesn't understand - and he won't for at least another year and half and with this understanding will come maturity and an acceptance of what happened - mostly, and that he is the next leader of Team Rocket and the drive to make it a stronger organisation than before will surface.
