As you can see, the image looks fuzzy because it was saved as a .jpg image. When you save it on paint, select .png.

Name- Jake Samuels
Gender- Male
Age- 15

Appearance- Jake stands at about 5'8", weighs around 135 pounds, and has long, curly blond hair. He wears a tan sweatshirt, and dark brown pants. He carries a Rosary in his pocket with him at all times. He carries his wallet in his back pants pocket, which holds a picture of himself and his family in it. Although there is a lack of money in his wallet, which defeats the purpose of it, he has it with him for personal reasons. Occasionally, he takes off his sweatshirt, revealing a plain white tee shirt, which usually is dirty, as it is rarely shown. He has deep blue eyes, thin brow eyebrows, and big dimples which are seen quite often. He has a medium build, so he is not the strongest guy around.

Jake has legitimately had the exact same pair of shoes that he has had since he was 13 as well, as they signify holding onto the past, and the family that he used to have. Jake will not, under any circumstances, replace them.

When the weather cools down, Jake will don a pair of regular blue jeans, and wear a black long sleeve shirt under his hoodie instead of the tee shirt for extra warmth. If it is cooler than normal, a green winter jacket will be worn as well. It is actually rather new compared to the rest of his clothing, and still looks new as well, with no rips or tears.

Personality- Jake is rarely seen serious, and is always laughing, not only at others, but at his own jokes, and occasionally his own blunders. He is a complete klutz, and always trips and runs into random objects (most notably, glass doors). He is extremely sarcastic, so it makes it even harder to believe what he says. Although he is in touch with himself, he finds it hard to get close to others because of his humorous nature. Most women stay at the "just friends" stage with him, because they don't think he will take a relationship seriously. He has a deep care for his family, who he left behind to start on his Pokemon journey. He keeps a picture of his family in his wallet to remind him of home. He and his sister were very close, and she is the main reason he keeps his wallet with him. When his anger shows, it isn't much to be scared of. He is usually all talk and no action, but occasionally he will act upon those who upset him.

Jake is a naturally nosy person as well. He wants to know about everything, and why everything happens. This is probably most attributed to his past, wanting to know why his father left their family, causing so much turmoil and grief. He will go take any measures necessary if he wants to know something badly enough, and generally won't stop until he has the information.

Jake is also extremely cautious. With everything that has happened to him, he wants to make sure that he will not be the cause of anymore grief to himself and his mother. He cares about her so much, that if he actually does do something wrong, he takes the necessary measures to hide it. Jake isn't sure what his mother is capable of, and he most certainly does not want to find out. Losing his mother would devastate him, and he isn't sure if he would actually be able to handle it.

History- Jake lived a troubled childhood. His father left his family when he was only 5 years old. Although he was the youngest, it impacted him the least. His sister was 12 at the time, and she had a deep bond with her father. It hit her hard when he left, and she thought she couldn't carry on. She took her own life selfishly, blaming her father for her depression. With those two events happening so closely in his life, Jake seemed hopelessly lost. His mother seemed to be in the same condition, leaving to family members within a month. She blamed herself for the situation, and she rarely talked with Jake out of shame. Eventually, she did move on, but it took around 6 years. With a picture taken when Jake was 3 years old, he decided that it was necessary to help support his mother.

Jake took on a lot of odd jobs. He traveled to Viridian City by bus to working in a local restaurant as a bus boy. He was paid minimum wage, and he didn't get many hours. After a few months, Jake quit this job in pursuit of something better. With work experience under his belt, he felt confident in finding another job. He traveled to the Poke Mart, where he gained a job as a cashier for local trainers. Jake was paid more than his previous job, and had more hours. Sadly for Jake, his mother needed him at him, so he had to quit this job as well.

When he reached age 15, he decided he would catch the first Pokemon he saw, and try to gain money for his mother through battling. When that day came, he used a Pokeball he bought from the mart when he worked there, and, with his mothers consent and support, went to go find a Pokemon. Professor Oak found him out there, and quickly called him to reason. He told him to meet him in a week, where he would be giving new trainers Pokemon as well. He invited Jake to join those trainers and start his adventure the correct way.

My finished product :)

Name: Kenny Jones

Age: 16

Gender: Males

Personality: Kenny is a very outgoing teenager he loves meeting new people and going to new places. He is very adventurous and courageous and he loves to do dangerous things. While Kenny can be very annoying at times he usually is very easy to get along with. Kenny is a quick thinker and can make choices in the blink of an eye he is a natural born leader even if he leads people into tough situations he always can get them out of it. He is willing to help his friends in danger and put him in risk in the process. Kenny loves to battle and has some good strategies up his sleeve. Kenny has a good photographic memory and can remember what happened when he was only one.
The downside to him is that Kenny always says that he is right and will rarely accept that he was wrong and he is very independent so he sometimes won't like people helping him and can get into some really bad fights. Also he can go straight into anything he wants to do without planning much which means he and people around him can get into a lot of trouble at times.

Appearance: Kenny is quite handsome and lots of girls love him. He has black hair reaching his cheek and light brown eyes he is about 6" 2" tall and has quite a bit of muscle on his arms and legs with a light six pack on his chest. Depending on the weather he wears a brown cowboy hat and black sunglasses. Kenny usually wears a black t-shirt with a red jacket and black sleeves and he usually wears blue denim jeans with a black coloured belt which can hold pokeballs but he tends not to use it. He has walking shoes which are red and black in colour and when Kenny goes rock climbing he wears a pair of black gloves. When it is cold he wears black and red hoodie. He carries a sling bag which is blue and red with a pokeball in the middle and has six slots where he puts his pokeballs.

History: Kenny was born and raised in Pallet town with his mum who divorced his dad when he was only little tried. She tried to keep him out of trouble but as Kenny says "Trouble always finds me" and in school he was nearly in detention every week. When he was little his parents took him everywhere but when Kenny turned three his father had a car crash which killed to other person who was only 21 years old. From then on his father went out at night drinking and never came home until it was late and one night Kenny's parents had an argument which ended in his father leaving with his stuff and never coming back.

During Kenny's school life he made some good friends and was very popular at school even if he did get in to trouble a lot. He never worried about anything in school and only when an important test came up he revised which was enough to pass most of them even getting some A's and B's.

In the school holidays Kenny and his mum would go to the countryside where they had a little cottage. There Kenny would play with the Pokemon there and go hiking in the mountains nearby. When Kenny was 14 while hiking he found an injured Charmander in a cave that day Kenny risked his life trying to bring Charmander down the mountain and to the nearby Pokemon Center he did this by having Charmander on his back and a couple of times he nearly fell off a cliff. After that day Charmander always came to play with Kenny in his cottage.

On Kenny's sixteenth birthday Professor Oak came to his party and personally invited him to get a Pokemon. Kenny was so thrilled he could barely sleep for too weeks waiting to receive his Pokemon. His mum made sure everything was ready on the day and then it was time to receive his Pokemon.

Post Sample:Jack was flying back to M.t Pyre when he saw a figure standing, waiting for him. As he got closer he saw it was Giovanni. Soon Jack landed and called Dragonite back into his pokeball.

"It's hard to find you" Giovanni said with no expression.

"I'm a hard to get guy" Replied Jack.

"Well I have a job for you. Would you like to take it?" Asked Giovanni.

Jack's eyes started to glow blue then he spoke "One of your commanders was killed late last night and you want me to lead 100 Rockets into battle against a base of Freedom Fighters on Dewford Island" His eyes turned back to blood red.

Giovanni started to clap "Ha! You have done a lot of training haven't you?"

"Well then," Smirked Jack, "Where am I going to go?"

"To a base in Littleroot Town. First, though I want you to read Professor Birch's mind so we can get a picture of what their base looks like," Replied Giovanni "Oh and Marshtomp Heads"

"Easy I'll see you there," Smiled Jack "Go Dragonite." Jack jumped onto Dragonite and they flew away at an amazing speed.

It took a little over an hour to reach their destination in the sky he could see the Grunts running about hurrying to do stuff. As he was landing a group of Grunts circled and aimed guns at him.

"Who are you?" Said one Grunt with long hair.

"I am Agent 002, Jack Jackson, and the password is Marshtomp Heads" Shouted Jack.

The Grunts quickly put down their weapons and continued with their own jobs. Jack jumped off Dragonite and called it back into its pokeball. Looking around he saw that all houses had been flattened to the ground and hundreds of electrical equipment was scattered around. There was only one building which used to be Professor Birch's lab until it was rebuilt into a 10 story building so Jack started to walk towards it. Inside there was nothing but two staircases one going up and the other going down.

"Looks like the infamous one has returned" Said a voice in the shadows

Jack looked towards where the voice was coming from and prepared for a fight.



Starter: Charmander please

OOC: According to Haldriad56, my exclusion from signing up is now over, so I will post my SU again and delete the older one. And I will have a trainer card up with my sign really soon. And again, sorry for postingin the IC thread +(


Name: Oliver Harding Jr.
Age: 17
Gender: male
Personality:Oliver is of a fiery nature. He loves the exciting parts of life and will do anything to get away from the repetitive routine. He learned the hard way when trusting people, so he always tests them in various ways on trust matters. Whether he tells him a juicy, but fake secret about himself and waits for the person to spill the beans, or asks them to fulfill a promise. He always keeps people on this challenge, and only one person has passed, his best friend Amelia, a trainer from the Hoenn region, which he met on a vacation. He also has the strange trait to never get cold, as in the middle of winter he never wears a jacket of sweater. Although he never gets cold, he hates rain and water, as he can't stand water type pokemon either. He also is unafraid to leave an uncomfortable situation or a environment that is harmful to him. Although one of his favorite hobbies is adventuring. He loves to explore the unknown in the world, searching for the undiscovered...but usually he just goes to the nearby national park and treks the woods looking for new places and intresting views because most of the world has already been cartogrpahed.
Appearance: Oliver has a distinct face with a slim nose and moth. His eyes are hazel with a touch of red. He has hair the color of fire that goes down to his shoulders, but not in a girlish fashion and it ends in a V at the end. He has a muscly, distinct chest, which he wears a white, skintight, long-sleeved shirt with gray lining on the sleeves. He has long, lean legs that give him a height of 6' 1''. He wears black cargo pants with a pocket chain that leads into his back pocket, where he keeps a utility knife. He has pockets going down on the sides to about the middle of his thighs, in which he keeps various items, some he doesn't even know he has. He wears red basketball shoes, with a white tongue and red laces. The sole has a poke ball on it. The top part of the poke ball black and the bottom white. Instead of carrying pokeballs on his belt, he has a sash that has six suction cups slots. The area in which the pokeballs are placed is a metal tube that is not sewn with the rest of the sash, so he is able to take of the holder. I also acts as the buckle for the sash.
History: Oliver is from Saffron city. He lived with his parents, his mother named Amelia and a father named Oliver Sr. His father worked at the nearby factory and the mother was a business woman that worked for the same factory his father worked at. He lived a normal childhood, but as the factory closed down as of a recession, both of his parents became deeply depressed. They both started drinking, but once his mother binged too hard, and died in a car crashed while under the influenced. He then lived with his father until he was 11, but then ran away because his father became abusive. While living on the streets of saffron city, he joined a mafia group called the sigma guild. Although they didn't commit crimes much, Oliver personality hardened into what he is today.
