This is a monumental occasion, my first RP ever! ;-)
Also, HOLY BURRITOS! XD
Name: Archie "Arc" Wynter
Age: 15
Gender: ♂
Appearance: Arc has midnight black hair, which is quite short, and has white, slightly tanned skin. His black eyes are covered over a pair of rectangular glasses. He usually wears a lime green and black striped long sleeved coat, and wears granite coloured jeans. As well as this, he also wears a black touch screen wristwatch, which is a new version of the Pokénav.
He wears grey school shoes with Velcro and carries around a green and white shoulder bag, with a emblem of his school, Slateport Manor High, pasted on it. Adding to this, he also wears lime green and grey stripy socks and likes to carry a pen with him all the time. The pen has a built in screen and works as a USB flash drive for his Pokénav. He is 5" 8" and is not overweight nor underweight.
Personality: Arc's personality is friendly, yet rather nerdy. He has a unhealthy obsession with computers, and spends most of his spare time playing on his Pokénav. While he is quite relaxed, he can become scared of a few things, such as the darkness. His fear of darkness comes from a lesson he had when he was 6 at his old school in Petalburg. He was in a lesson on the history of the sinnoh region, and one of the kids came up to him and stole his glasses. The bully then covered the glasses in black paper and forcefully put them back onto Arc. This is the reason he is so scared of the darkness now, as it makes him remember that bad experience. He also has issues eating food as well, mainly as he lacks any appetite. However, this lack of hunger may just help him out, as he knows to think with his mind and not his stomach.
He is quite friendly towards Pokemon, and will try to befriend even ferocious Pokemon such as powerful dragon types. He likes to talk to people about technological things, and likes to tell people random facts from out of nowhere. Sometimes, he gets a few bizarre looks when he talks to his pokemon like actual people - his bond between him and other Pokemon is closer than actual human beings.
Backstory: Arc was born in Petalburg City. He was born blind, and wore glasses from his birth.
In his years before going to college, he was interested in computing, and always played on his dad's computer, sometimes even interrupting his dad's work. When he went to school, he was picked on my some of the meaner kids, so he struggled to get his schoolwork done.
When he was 8 years of age, he got his first Pokénav to play games on. This was a present from the president of Devon Corporation, for his fathers outstanding work there, and he gave it to him after seeing his young child's drawings of new Pokénav designs. These drawings were based on glass and the designs of them resembled the formations and patterns on Kyrogue and Groundon's body. Too add to this, these designs were so highly praised that they eventually got produced and became some of the best selling Pokénav products in the history of Devon corp. A year after this, Arc's father, Robert, got a new job working at the harbour in Slateport, forcing his family to move there. The reason was that Devon corp. was attacked by a legendary Pokemon that resembled a Jet. Fortunately, Devon managed to recover from this, although they had to lay off some jobs, including Robert's one.
When the world fell into ruin thanks to the rampaging legendary Pokemon, he was frightened to see his father's demise after being attacked by Kyrouge. This traumatizing experience make him worried and overcautious for a few weeks after his relatives death. Money issues, thanks to his mother, Ellisa, finding it impossible to find a job. Luckily, he and his mother were contacted by Professor Birch, as he was a friend of Arc's father, to get a starter Pokemon to help Arc's family recover from a loss. Even then; thanks to the apocalyptic ruin that Hoenn was in; he could only get one choice of Pokemon, a Trapinch, a Pokemon which resembles a antlion larvae. In a fortunate turn of this coincidence, the Trapinch line of Pokemon were one of Arc's favourites, so he was more than happy to accept the orange critter as his partner and guardian.
Starter Pokémon: Trapinch
EDIT: I find it rather daunting to write stories from the oppisite gender that I have. Apologies, but I can't really choose a different gender. :(
