[PKMN OPEN] The Pokemon Trainer Academy (OOC) (NEW!)

Name: Zayne Alta

Nickname: None as of yet

Age: 18

Sex: Male

Job: Practical Battling

Appearance: Zayne is of a fairly thin (but not ridiculously skinny) build and stands tall at about 6'3". He is white with a naturally pale complexion that has been slightly tanned due to long journeys, this makes his complexion appear fairly normal although possibly slightly paler than most. Zayne has simple, brown eyes that don't give off any real sign of depth in fact, his gaze has been described as stony and he has red/maroon, straight hair that he wears fairly long at the back (coming to maybe a bit over a quarter of the way down his neck) and sides (the hair falls around his ears but mostly behind) and mostly short at the front save for his fringe which is fairly long and angles naturally to the left. His default expression is frowning or stoic but that hides his true personality.

Zayne prefers drab colours such as black, greys and white although he often wears red also. Zaynes outfit usually consists of charcoal grey cargo pants and a simple black T-shirt. Over this shirt he either wears a jacket in the same colour of his pants, but with two darker vertical stripes on the front (usually worn open) and a paler grey collar or a trench coat in a similar colour. He usually wears shoes incorporating these colours and red and is typically seen with a special belt or a pouch at his waste (or sometimes a bag) to carry useful battle items and pokeballs. He wears angled glasses and a simple silver chain around his right wrist.

On formal, business or important occasions Zayne wears a suit in the same colour scheme (without a tie usually due to an intense hatred of them).

Personality: : Zayne is a primarily quiet person whose general lack of expression (certainly a happy expression) hides his surprisingly friendly, albeit serious personality. Although, saying he is series all the time would be wrong since he has a dry, sarcastic humour which often slips through into his conversations. Zayne is always respectful, although saying he is polite is going a bit far since he prefers not to practice formal speech unless it is necessary and is generally a very tolerant person but when you make him angry it is very much a "mess with a tauros and you get the horns" situation. He believes heavily that you should always treat people you don't know well with respect but that if you lose someone's respect earning it back should be hard work.

Despite having been on many adventures Zayne likes to feel at home wherever he lives and is really an academic at heart. He studies things he is interested in intently and often writes theoretical journals of his own, practices that show through when he battles. Sometimes unfortunately though, he is very much a perfectionist and a strong believer in the values of hard work. Whilst he always strives for a high standard a downfall of his is that he expects others to share a similar work ethic and is harsh towards those that don't live up to their potential, sometimes this includes himself.

Zayne is surprisingly competitive at times and is a skilled, albeit aggressive battler who often implements his rather expansive knowledge into his battling.

History: : Zayne's life could be considered eventful, or not overly eventful depending on how you look at it. He is anative of the Hoenn region being born in Oldale Town a small town situated between Littleroot Town and Petalburg City. His parents own the towns Pokemart and are both experienced battlers.

He started his journey with a charmander given to him as a gift by his parents and after travelling through the Hoenn region he competed in the regions league placing well but not succeeding in securing the championship. He creating a secret base on route 115 and spends a lot of time training there in solitude with the few other trainers who ever turn up there.

After his training had continued for a while Zayne travelled to Sinnoh, his favourite of the regions he had travelled to where after arriving in Canalave City he began taking on the regions gyms and league again being fairly successful. Zaynes travels continued in this manner for a long time as he competed in the Kanto, Johto and Unova leagues as well before retaking the Hoenn league and winning his only ever championship which he quickly abdicated as he had no intention of remaining in Hoenn, instead he chose to move to Sinnoh where he has lived in Veilstone (up until now) although he did often visit his family and secret base back in Hoenn.

Shortly before discovering the open position at the Academy Zayne had began to become bored with his dull everyday life and wanted to increase his knowledge and share it with others, upon hearing of the open teaching position he found it seemed like the ideal way to do achieve this goal.

Name: Steven Yew

Nickname: Yew

Age: 27

Sex: Male

Job: Pokemon Mythology

Appearance:

Personality: Calm and collected most of the time, Yew is what most would call an ideal teacher. However, once you get to knowing him, Yew is slightly spontaneous, and acts a bit younger than he is. Yew is strict when it comes to punishment, at least for grave infractions, but is reasonably lenient with his classes otherwise. He loves engaging his students with fun activities and many field trips, but still resorts to textbooks on occasion. Yew is mostly outspoken when it comes to personal issues, but is more likely to just change the subject. It has come to Yew's beliefs during his travels that friendship is the strongest force in existence. When it comes to field studies, Yew is very serious, and focused beyond anything. He tends to get a small bit overexcited when he makes a discovery, no matter how small. Yew has come to find that he enjoys the company of his Pokemon more than people, but it hasn't been a hindrance as of yet.

History: Yew grew up on on one of the Orange Islands. He went to a school there, and one of his teachers greatly inspired him to become one himself. When he graduated, he was given a Kirlia, which he raised with much affection. Naming her Tetra, they went on a region-spanning adventure, on which they aquired Ice, a quite abnormally colored Scizor. Finished in the Orange Islands, Yew went to the newly discovered Sinnoh region, intent on becoming a champion in the newly formed league. While in Sinnoh, he met a Luxray, which he caught and befriended in almost record time. Eventually, he did acheive his dream, and reigned as Champion for a time. As a reward, he was given a Chimchar, which Yew decided to nicname Char. Char soon evolved, and Yew decided to travel to Hoenn. Traveling through the region, he met many trainers, and made many friends. While he was there, he found an interesting myth about the continental pokemon. One thing led to another, and he was soon involved with the study of all three of the legendaries. Soon after, he returned home. Giving up his position as champion in Sinnoh, Yew began studying Pokemon myths in immense detail. Many years later, Yew was still looking into these myths, especially those about the three Hoenn legendaries. He made many discoveries, to the point of being considered an expert in the in the field of study. He had just returned from a field study when he was requested to teach a history course at the school that he had long since graduated from. Accepting the job, Yew soon became a favorite to both students and coworkers. He taught for another two years before getting a letter from an old friend that he had met at the Sinnoh Elite Four. Gary asked him to come teach at his new academy. Yew packed, and was on the first boat that would go to the island for a reasonable price. After a few weeks of the job, Yew soon discovered that the island was quite rich in historical artifacts. Many of the tunnels that laced the mountainous center of the island contained signs of ancient life on the island. Due to this, Yew usually spends his time out of the classroom in the field. Occasionally, he brings interested students, but most of the time is only accompanied by his Pokemon.
