Merv is an anthropomorphic feline Pokémon with a towering, heavily muscular and broad-shouldered build resembling a tiger, exuding the physique of a professional heavyweight wrestler. He has a short, feline snout topped by a small, sharp red nose, and intense, bright yellow-green eyes under fierce, sharp-edged red "eyebrow" markings shaped like a flaming V. His sclerae are a vivid yellow. Two thick pairs of outward-flaring red fur tufts jut dramatically from each cheek, while the top and back of his head are covered in sleek black fur. A thin, vivid red stripe runs vertically from the crown of his head down to his snout, splitting at his eyes in a pointed V-shape. His massive torso is coated in coarse, light-gray fur, with prominent black striping that resembles a stylized, tight wrestling singlet. A vertical black stripe runs down the center of his chest and back, crossed by two horizontal lines. A thin trail of black fur runs down the deep valley between his massive pectoral muscles and abs. Around Merv's waist burns a vivid, roaring ring of flame shaped like a championship belt, its center emblazoned with a glowing, stylized fireball symbol. His limbs are rugged and thick, completely covered in bright red fur marked by bold, band-like black stripes — three thick stripes on each arm, two on each leg, and one encircling his long, powerful tail. Merv's hands are massive and five-fingered, each tipped with sharp white claws and a single light red paw pad in the center of the palm. His feet are wide with three blunt, clawed toes. The tip of his tail is crowned with a rough tuft of spiky black fur. He has fuzzy tufts of black fur in his armpits and coarse black hairs on his pecs. He has noticeably thick, bulging arms with massive, plump pectorals, and incredibly rippling, thick thighs, with chiseled, cobbled abs.

Merv's belt can emit large bursts of fire, ranging from spewing spiral flares to even surging up to cloak his fists in flames. He can lift 1000 LBs and can withstand most attacks with ease. The Move Bulk Up allows Merv to increase his muscle mass and size temporarily.

Merv is a charmingly ditzy buff Pokemon that wants to be a social media influencer. He follows the latest trends, replicates dances (but ends up missing steps due to his huge muscles), and pursues other genres of content. His completely oblivious demeanor causes him to constantly and unwittingly flaunt his muscles especially when recording (accidentally lifting his shirt to expose his belly, tugging at his neck to expose his pecs, stretching languidly and flexing his armpits, etc). He's wholesome and incredibly sweet both on his vlogs and interacting with others in real life.

Merv tries to keep a handwritten schedule and analyze algorithms to be a more effective social media influence, but is completely oblivious to why he's popular at all. He sometimes gets stick in a loop of fixing a prop or his phone, only to accidentally topple them over due to his size and clumsy nature. He usually carries a set of notes detailing frame shot compositions, proper lighting, and social etiquette, although he frequently forgets some of his papers.

Merv completely misinterprets comments or reactions to his videos, mistaking them to be genuine praises of his craft. If someone comments "Barking respectfully," he assumes they are genuinely asking about his roaring technique. If someone leaves a string of fire emojis under a video where he struggled to fit into a trendy sweater, he assumes they are complimenting his typing or outfit choice.

He just loves connecting with people and sharing his own journey of discovering new things such as cooking or DIY projects, unaware most people watch him for his muscles. He forgets how intimidating he looks to everyday commuters, coming off as jarring and intimidating when trying to record a cute moment of him savoring a meal in a quiet cafe. When he gets nervous, excited, or flustered while recording, his body language mimics a giant domestic cat. He stretches out his back, arching his chest and extending his arms overhead, completely unaware that this looks like an intentional physique showcase to his chat.

He carries a stylus to properly type on his phone. Merv is incapable of human speech, communicating via growls, purrs, or soft roars. He's capable of reading and writing, but his written English is partially broken. He naturally approaches people to ask to hold his phone for recording, or participate in brief collabs.
