Appearance (A picture can be provided instead of a description if you so wish):
Personality (How does your character act and react to others? Their mental state? Flaws and/or personal weaknesses?): Ethan is a self-confident and arrogant boy with a rather large over-opinion of his own abilities. Because of this, he can often become rather hot-headed upon losing or by sustaining an insult from another trainer. This often leads him to get violent rather quickly. Whether or not he uses a pokemon in this situation depends on whether or not his pokemon is still standing when this rage occurs. He can often-times seem like a temperamental child that can be set off at any moment. Though he has these serious flaws, if you have the ability to befriend him, he can often-times be friendly in a playful and usually taunting way.
History (Where did your character grow up? Who did they grow up with? What have the been doing before this? Any noteworthy events? What brought them to the academy?): Ethan was born in the Johto Region in the small ocean-side town of Cianwood. When he was the age of 10, he was given a Cyndaquil by his father and set out on his journey to become a well-respected and powerful pokemon trainer. This journey was something that had allured him ever since he was a small boy. As he began working towards that goal, he quickly discovered that, put bluntly,.....He had no talent as a trainer. Inable to catch a single pokemon of his own, let alone correctly train the Cyndiquil he already had, he found himself on a serious losing streak. Upon leaving the small island where he resided, he soon arrived in the town of Olivine and challenged the Gym's leader. After losing against her as well, her downfall quickly became an obsession for him. After training his heart out, he finally managed to get his Cyndiquil to evolve into a Quilava. Even this, however, proved to be futile. After about 3 months of staying in Olivine, and challenging its gym almost every day since arriving, he had suffered defeat a hundred times over. Frustrated at his inability to beat even a single gym leader, Ethan finally gave up. Unsure of what to do next, he simply decided to take up permanent residence in Olivine, living with and working for an old couple in the town, far too embarassed at his own failures to return home. After about 2 weeks without being challenged by Ethan, Jasmine(The resident gym leader) quickly found him and told him about Professor Oak's prestigious trainer school, near Kanto. Jumping at the chance, Ethan quickly packed his things and hopped onto the first boat to the island. Upon arriving in Kanto, he took the academy's entrance exam the moment he was able, choosing to rush it rather than study, as was his nature. Just barely passing the written and practical exams, he was then admitted into the school as a member of the Raikou dorm.
Quilava, level 14: Flamethrower, Flame Wheel, and Smoke Screen.
(As my story stated, my character did horribly at training his pokemon, and hadn't caughten any others. This is why I only have one listed, and it only knows Three skills.)
