First RP, hope I'm not joining too late, but would love to give it a try!
Name: Ike Fissure
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance: Ike is a short guy, only a mere height of 5'4, who tends to keep a light summer tan all year around. He is quite slim with enough muscle to not be considered puny. His usually hazel-colored eyes tend to change due to his current emotional state: a blue-green color when in a positive mood and a darker green when in a negative one. He always tends to have 5 o'clock shadow and a white beanie to keep his long, knappy brown hair under control. Ike tends to wear a light blue v-neck that has a black static streaks going through it. His shirt is rarely seen, though, due to the tight, white pullover he usually has on that has a zipper running down the right side of it. Along with his pullover, he is usually wearing his beige skinny jeans and his blue with bleach-spotted TOMS.
Personality: Due to Ike's small stature, he has always been pushed around which has toughened him up, but made him not as social as most people. He's never really had a true friend and only trusts his pokemon. When talked to, Ike can tend to be overly sarcastic, but only because he isn't too good with people at this point. He hopes that all this can change, but keeps it to him self, just waiting for someone to come along that will help him adapt.
History: As far back as Ike could remember, it has always been him and his mother. She was constantly working hard to support the two and when Ike turned 12, all the work caught up to her. She became ill with depression that turned into something more. Ike was by her side even hours after she passed away, with a pokeball with a tiny note on it in hand that she gave him as she told him she loved him with her last breathe. Within this note was the name and location of his father. He went to live live with him. This man was a stern, roughneck of a man who was extremely hard on Ike. Making him to many things that cause Ike to spite him and result in Ike taking his pokemon and running away. It was his running away that caused him to run into Professor Rowan and begin his journey.
Pokemon: Coal, the Magby (I hope); Male; lvl 5; Mild; Flamebody; Smog, Leer

Can't wait to see how I'll be thrown in this. Want to try to not catch any pokemon.. temptation will probably get the best of me, though.
