I would like to sign up, if there's room. I have my character below.
Name: Ivan Demoran
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Hometown: Jubilife City
Appearance: No picture, not a good artist and don't know one willing to design my character
Roughly 5"10
Green Eyes
Short, Messy Hair, dyed Purple
His right arm is covered in scars from when he was attacked by a Mightyena
Typically wears an Orange T-Shirt with a Porygon on the front, Tan jeans, and dark blue Running Shoes.
Interests and Goals: Ivan is very interested in reading. He prefers to read fantasy or sci-fi novels that have rich lore, deep characters, and keep the reader guessing until the very end. Some of his favorites include the "Forgotten Cities" series, "Death of the Stars", and "Legends of the Pokéknights".
Ivan also enjoys a bit of gardening. He built and maintains a decent garden near his father's vacation home in Solaceon Town, which attracts many Bug and Grass type Pokemon. This garden was recently made open to the public, but Ivan's father forbids the capture of Pokemon that appear in the garden, and has installed hidden Pokéball disruptors in the garden on the off chance someone disobeys that rule.
Ivan's father has recently been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and according to doctors, only has 2 years left to live if the treatment fails. Ivan's father is looking to pass his corporation on to Ivan, but wants to make sure he can handle the responsibilty and challenge of running a large company. As such, his father tasked him with becoming the Sinnoh League Champion to prove his worth.
Family: Ivan is an only child, and his mother died giving birth to him.
His father, Tiberius Demoran, is the founder and CEO of SimuTech, a corporation excelling at creating software, especially simulation software. The company is highly successful and often sponsors or hosts various Pokemon related events.
Strengths:
Intelligent: Ivan has good problem solving skills and reasoning. He graduated at the head of his class from the Jubilfe Trainer's School.
Diligent: Ivan is hardworking and refuses to leave a task unfinished. Although this has gotten him into trouble, it generally helps him.
Ivan has also developed above average computer skills, due to his lineage. While nowhere near the level of someone like Bill or his father, he has competent programming skills, and a modicum of hacking abilities.
Weaknesses:
Ivan is incredibly hasty, often seeking to find the shortest path to success. Often his intellect can be rendered useless by a rash action.
Ivan also tends to look towards the near future. He lives the for the moment and rarely plans ahead. This has caused many problems in the past, and nearly caused him to fail his first year of Trainer's School.
Ivan has bad allergies. Because he lives in a big city and often works in gardens, Ivan often is exposed to many of his allergies, and on rare occasions, gets incredibly sick from it. He takes heavy-duty allergy medications, and carries an inhaler around with him, but still occasionally suffers from his allergies.
Ivan has a fear of dog-like Pokemon such as Poochyena and Growlithe. When he was 5, he frequently played in the alleys of Jubilife. One day his friends dared him to run into one of the darker alleys. Ivan accidentally stepped on the tail of Mightyena that was concealed in the darkness, and the Mightyena latched on to his right arm. Ivan was fortunate that a trainer nearby heard his intial scream and came in time to minimize the damage, but this event was the cause of Ivan's phobia.
