Name: Akane Kojima
Preferred Starter Pokémon: Tyrogue
Appearance: Akane stands at 5 feet 6 inches, weighs 125 pounds, and is built athletically. She has a mature look about her that often makes people believe that she is older than her actual age of 15. Her hair is a very dark shade of auburn and she usually keeps it in a pony tail or bun. Akane is moderately fair skinned and has intense emerald green eyes. Her shoulders and calf muscles are toned and her abdomen is flat from her constant exercising.
Akane is most often found wearing a simple tee shirt or tank top and skinny jeans. She usually avoids skirts, but can be found wearing them on occasion. She carries a backpack with her to hold all of the gear she acquires on her journey, including empty pokeballs, potions, and TM's. She clips all pokeballs containing her active pokemon onto a belt around her waist.
Roleplay Sample: Akane sat up in her bed. Light streamed in through the window next to her. Taking a deep breath of early morning air, she threw back her comforter and swung her legs over the side of the bed. Padding across her bedroom with her bare feet, she opened the door to her closet and flipped the light switch on.
Milling briefly through her racks of clothing, she picked out her karate gi. It's bright white surface was pristinely clean. She quickly changed out of her pink pj's and into the comfortable training outfit. Akane was soon down the stairs and into her living room as she began to slide the furniture in it up against the walls.
After she was satisfied that she had enough space for her purposes, she sat herself cross-legged onto the ground, and began to preform a series of warm-up stretches to get her body loose. Rolling her shoulders one last time to get rid of any muscle tensity, she stood up and set herself in a starting stance. Her sensei wanted her to train as often as she could, so she had started to drill herself in the early mornings to improve her muscle memory.
She began with the different forms of defense, working her arms as quickly and precisely as possible. There was something about martial arts that made Akane incredibly calm. She really got into the flow of the fighting styles. Gradually, she began to add punches and kicks into her exercise, allowing her body to take over for her. It was when she closed her eyes that the dance began to get away from her.
The next kick she unleashed made contact with something, and with a loud "Crack!" her left leg went through the wall. Her eyes bolted wide open when she heard the noise, and she blushed awkwardly.
"Akane? What was that?" Her mother called from the kitchen. "Are you hurt?"
"Yes I'm fine, just bumped into something!" She lied. Hurriedly, Akane pushed the furniture back into their correct places, except for a large armchair which she shoved in front of the gaping hole in the wall. "I guess training is over for today." She said to herself as she exited the living room.
Akane's mother, Mrs. Kojima, came rushing around the corner as Akane made her way to the kitchen.
"Are you sure you don't-"
"I'm fine mom." Akane waved her off and sat down at the kitchen table. Her mother looked Akane up and down for injury, then centered her gaze on a large, purple bruise on her leg.
"Oh my! I-I think you need an ice pack for that."
Akane looked down at her leg and rolled her eyes. "It's not even bleeding mom." She whined
"I am serious young lady! You need to-" Thankfully, her mother was cut off by the ringing of the phone. Mrs. Kojima picked it up off the counter.
"This is the Kojima residence." Akane could here the faint sound of someone talking on the other end.
"Yes, she is right here." Her mother moved the phone from her ear. "A lady named Hazel Jacobi wants to speak with you. Do you know who that is?"
Akane's eyes brightened at the sound of the woman's name.
"She's the one sending trainers to the Apollo region!" Akane said excitedly. "It's been all over the news!" Her mother handed her the phone.
"Hello?" Akane spoke into the speaker.
"Akane? This is Professor Jacobi. How would you like to come with my group to the Apollo region?"
"Oh my gosh.. Yes. Absolutely yes! I'm honored but, how did you find me?"
"Professor Oak, you know from Pallet Town? He recommended you to me. He told me... how did he put it? That you had a fighting spirit. I'm so glad your interested!"
Why would I not take an opportunity to get out of Kanto and explore a new region? Akane thought to herself. "When do I need to leave?"
"The boat to Apollo sets sail in 3 days. Just enough time for you to get prepared. I will warn you that it can get pretty rough out there though."
"What about pokemon?"
"I will be providing each trainer with a pokemon and a bag of gear to get started. All currently owned pokemon will need to be left behind at a PC to keep everything even. I will smooth out the details when you arrive at my lab."
"Oh-Ok! I can't wait!"
"Good! I look forward to meeting you in person" Then she hung up.
