Name: Pokémon Trainer Jason 'Cross' Mariolos
Age: 15
Personality: Cross, he's the type of person who has nice intentions but annoys people, he is very nice but usually fails to do what he tries to do, and whoever he's with has to have a lot of tolerance, and his naivéte just adds to the work. He's relaxed, and in any situation you can count on him to overthink things, especially to the point where it would be annoying . He wants attention, so he can act weird at any point, and he is also nice, but cocky and disrespectful. Cross might be cold and calculating, but to lie to everyone (including himself) he acts happy and kind, he usually rushes into battle sensibly, but gets senseless as he lets his emotions take control of him. People call him a Dark Genious, because those who really know him, know that he is cold, calculating and ruthless, especially in battle where he pushes his partner to the limit, and his partner knows what he expects and tries to deliver. But sometimes, he expects too much of his partner and sometimes fails. The people he usually stay around see the annoying, talkative side of him, while the people who are very close to him see his true side. Cross is the type of guy who tries to out-think his opponents in battle which could include psyching them out . Cross doesn't have many friends, in fact very few friends, but those who are, he draws them very close, and they know of his cold nature, and his low self-esteem, which is good for battling as he always expects more out of himself, but it is not always beneficial.
Cross is stubborn, he likes to get his way and sometimes argues arguments which he knows he might not even win. He is a thrill seeker, and so he goes into tough battles mainly because he knows the rewards given by it. He likes to rest and go over battle strategies in his spare time, if he's not training. Cross loves literature, and he is very good at interpreting different literary terms, and he also has a great love of music. He has an analytical mind, always analyzing looking for possibilities and outcomes, and people who are close to him love him for being good in almost any situation, and this shows in a battle, unless of course he is very cocky, in which he would be very careless. Cross is also somewhat of a sportsman, as he likes to make sure that he is not only mentally fit, but physically and emotionally fit.
Around people Cross doesn't know he sports his overconfident talkative personality, and he usually makes a bad first impression, but in some cases he is quite sullen and quiet, especially when something important to him is happening at the same time. Cross is not very good with girls, and due to that, he might act weird and inconsistent, especially around a girl he likes. Cross loves to talk, but he usually doesn't and he hates talking about his feelings, and what he's thinking if it's personal due to the fact that he doesn't like divulging certain facts about himself. He is a kind person who helps anyone, but he is not above using bad ways to do good, he believes that the end justifies the means, but only in some cases. Cross doesn't like anyone who mistreats people and pokémon and always tries his best to treat people the best he can. Cross hates Team Paradox simply because they maltreat pokémon and use them for their own nefarious purposes. Cross plans to be a very good trainer and battle analyst.
Appearance: Black hair with a navy blue streak by the side, somewhat long hair up to his neck, dark blue eyes and a scar from the right of his bottom lip to his chin. Cross doesn't care for how he looks but he does carry a hairbrush and a mirror, with a comb, in case he needs to look good. He leaves his hair straight back, and due to that it falls down in bangs in front of his eye, but it doesn't block his vision. Cross wears headphones on his neck (wireless) which are just for fashion, but they also have radio and music functions.
Cross is usually distant and that can be seen in his eyes, and even though people like looking at them, some people call his eyes depressing and lonely. Cross has a very built body, and has a wide chest, he doesn't care for his body, but sometimes some girls will check him out because of how buff he is. Cross has an abnormal amount of stamina extremely high for anyone of his age, and he can do plenty of strenuous activity without feeling fatigue.
Cross wears his signature colors black and navy blue. He wears a jet black long sleeved zip down sleeveless hoodie over a navy blue long sleeved T-shirt. Sometimes, he has his black and turquoise jacket on him when it is too cold, and that replaces his hoodie. Cross wears tight black jeans, with some navy blue streaks, and he wears sneakers that are black with turquoise, gray, and dark blue streaks. Cross wears a watch on his hand, with black fingerless gloves that have spikes on the wrist's side, but on the inside of the glove, it is made of leather, and not the fabric on the outside of it.

History: Cross is from Jubilife in Sinnoh, and is biracial as he has a latino dad, and a caucasian mother. Cross was the son of a Frontier Leader (his dad), and a Pokemon Ranger (his mom), when his father retired they moved to Johto, as his mother's job was taking her around the globe, his parents had to seperate, so Cross was bounced around between his aunts and uncles. Cross learnt how to take care of pokemon from a man called Lance, who stopped in his uncle's town every once in a while, and with Claire as a gym leader, he learned how to care for pokemon at a young age. As he usually was able to watch Claire and Lance battle he learnt various battle styles and strategies, and then he learnt how to train pokemon. In the short time he spent with his parents, his mom thought him how to take care of hurt people and pokemon, while his dad thought him how to keep his body and mind fit, and how to catch pokemon, but Cross has little to none real battle experience. Cross has read about various things, and is well versed in many different things due to going to different places and reading all the different books. Cross rarely had any friends, but he knew his parents, and he was satisfied with that until he made some friends in the trainers who would come to train in the Dragon's Den, as he had spent the longest with one of his uncles there in that city for 5 years.
Cross was alone, but he didn't mind until his parents were hurt. He was finding out that his dad was going to meet him, after picking up his mother so that they could spend time together as a family, but his father was mugged, and left brain dead eventually dying a few weeks after, by Team Paradox, for some weird reason, from what he heard, people said that his father knew too much and had to be dealt with as his father knew Mr. Gryger, and thus, Cross began living with his mother, being taken out of the place he called home for five years. His mother became obsessed with making the people who messed with her husband pay for ruining her life, and for scarring her son.
Cross found out that his father was killed and so was a man called Mr. Gryger, he decided to meet Mr. Gryger's son, about Cross' age, and he decided to get some answers. He had to go, and due to the fact that his mom was quite obsessed with discovering the murderers, he decided to go on his own personal pokemon journey, even though he didn't hold a grudge against the killer, he wanted to punish the guy for making his mother miserable. Cross is a bit lonely due to the fact that his mother's fragile psyche is deteriorating, and is on probation from her ranger activities.
