Jeff returns! NOTHING CAN KEEP HIM DOWN! (I gotta get some sleep before work so I haven't had time to touch it up yet, let me know if anything needs tweaking please)
Spoiler:
Jefferey Miles
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Jeff looks like your typical book worm in a way: pale and thin. However, despite his nonathletic build he has the broad shoulders of a man far beyond his physical capabilities and girth. He is almost exactly 6 feet with once-upon-a-time golden hair that is now dirty blond from all the time he spent inside reading and sharp green eyes. He has a very average nose, perfect teeth, very few freckles dusting either cheek. All-in-all he's handsome in a way that's a little too boyish for his own liking
Jeff isn't too picky as far as regular clothes go, whatever's comfortable, but his favorite clothes are a pair of dark grey cargo jeans, a thick dark green hoodie over a white T-shirt with a large paw print on it. The jacket is usually unzipped. He also likes to wear a silver necklace with a small platinum rose that usually rests just under his shirt collar.
Personality: Jeff is a very nice person, always willing to see the best in people and not being very judgmental as long as the person in question wasn't bothering anyone but can be quite harsh when he gets defensive of someone else. He has a very good vocabulary that is mostly self taught from all the reading and can be a skilled and eloquent speaker when he wants to but is easily flustered by the right situations. Jeff tries to avoid situations where he would have any authority over other people because he's not very good at 'tough love'.
Above all else Jeff loves pokemon, he sees them as the creatures that run the world much more than people and abhors any sort of mistreatment directed at one. The only reason he approves of pokemon battles is because most of the time they can be fun for the pokemon and they fight in the wild anyways. Jeff is naturally playfully sarcastic and it shows. He doesn't like to cause problems and as a result is much more civil around strangers. His snarky attitude becomes more prevalent the more familiar he is with someone. Partly as a result of his stories and partly just from his nature Jeff puts an almost zealous value on friendship and has very grandiose, sometimes naive ideas about friendship and romance.
Jeff absolutely LOVES eating and cooking, especially when it comes to cheese and has very sensitive taste buds and a strong nose. The only reason the boy is because he's got such a high metabolism.Jeff likes to cook for other people, having many a cheesy dish waiting to greet his parents when they get home from work. He loves being cooked for just as much and is easily swayed by a good meal.
Background: Jeff has had a fairly boring life if you don't count the adventures he's had in his own mind as he read books and watched movies. He had the bad luck of having parents who wanted a safe life for their child, the most dangerous thing they were willing to let him do was play sports...and not even football. To make matters worse Jeff wasn't interested in sports so short of when he was a little kid just running around with the other kids he didn't have a lot to do. Eventually Jeff stopped insisting books were for 'old people' and began to read, both saving his sanity and feeding his imagination. His parents may not have wanted him to have a pokemon but reading about them was different, so he read all sorts of pokemon books ranging from facts to fantasies to true stories about the most influential trainers shaping the world.
When Jeff hit 10 money started getting tight for his family so his mom had to forego staying at home in favor of being able to afford to keep it. To help out he took advantage of his cooking talents to have fresh food usually waiting for his parents when they got home. The first truly eventful thing to happen in Jeff's life all started when he asked his dad one day after getting home from work how the dinner he'd prepared was, prompting his father to ask if he was sure he hadn't gotten hungry and eaten it himself.
The strange phenomena of vanishing food continued in the Miles household until the day Jeff heard the plate he had put his mother's dinner on clatter to the ground. By the time he made it into the kitchen there was just an empty plate with a bite taken out of it next to a trail of condiments on the floor leading out to the garage his parents never closed the door of, making it obvious what the culprit was: a hungry pokemon. The next day Jeff rigged up a pretty sloppy snare, figuring he was wasting his time and the pokemon wouldn't keep stealing from people who knew it was coming, little did he know how impossible it was for the 'criminal' to resist its hunger. About an hour before his mother was due home that day Jeff heard a loud crash and ran into the kitchen staring up at where he knew the food thief would be if his trap worked. The snare had worked...but it had also snapped at the weight of the culprit, and when Jeff looked down what he saw surprise him. There on his kitchen floor, face flat, was what appeared to be a small, trashcan-reminiscent creature that lifted it's head to reveal a round face and uttered one single sound, a bright happy "Munch!" Before it's eyes focused on Jeff's necklace and it snapped it up like a fish, it took 7 minutes of wrestling to get the ornament from the pokemon, but Jeff didn't bother being angry because he was sure the Munchlax would just get away like last time, it wasn't nearly as slow as one would expect.
Jeff didn't know how to deal with the little Munchlax...it was too clueless not to come back if he sent it away and he couldn't stand the thought of hurting a pokemon so obviously the most logical conclusion was to keep it and continue to feed it. Predictably Jeff's parents did not share his sentiment, but he was done being agreeable, he hadn't complained about not being allowed to become a trainer for a long time but he'd be damned if they wouldn't even let him have a pokemon as a pet. Life actually went back to being normal and uneventful for a while, at least until Jeff's seventeenth birthday, when he declared he was going on a journey whether his parents liked it or not, even if he had to get a job just to buy a pokeball for Romanov. This time Jeff's parents didn't argue, not only because they felt he was old enough to take care of himself, but also because they were all too happy to get the greedy sentient garbage disposal unit out of their house. As Jeff got farther away from his childhood home and the waving silhouettes of his parents faded away he realized something...he had no idea where to start. Luckily a kindly old neighbor noticed Jeff had his backpack on and asked if he was on his way to see the 'fancy professor lady' who was presently visiting Mauville. Not wanting to look like as much of an idiot as he felt Jeff quickly said that was exactly what he was off to do, and continued walking, whistling a jovial tune to himself the rest of way and lovingly patting the new pokeball on his belt.
=>POKÉMON Starter Pokémon: Romanov
the very Munchlax that burgled Jeff's lovingly cooked meals when he was younger. Romanov is not lazy like most 'Laxes', although he's just as hungry. In fact, Romanov loves running around and interacting with other creatures, he mostly only sleeps when Jeff does. Romanov is intelligent deep down, but he's oblivious and his attention wanders easily. Romanov got his name from how much he reminded Jeff of bears rooting through people's homes for food in lands with no pokemon, and from which of the mythical countries could train bears to be lifelong friends and guardians just like pokemon.

Blair is about 6'1 or 186 centimeters in height. He is considerably thin, with fairly broad shoulders and a milky white skin complexion. Blair's honey blond hair is always perfectly trimmed and styled into a pompadour but he has a few stubborn strands that refuse to cooperate. Blair is known for his angular features as well as his bone structure. He has high cheek bones, a thin face, and a sharp, perfectly carved jawline. His eyes are a pale azure shade. Blair suffers from Rosacea, meaning that his cheeks and face are constantly red in colour. However, he regularly wears full-coverage foundation to cover up his skin condition, as it's something that he's insecure about. Blair's face is consistently beat, as he is known to wear a lot of makeup. On a daily basis, he normally wears foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, highlight, mascara, eye shadow, winged eyeliner, brow products and he never dares to leave the house without a set of full, voluminous lashes on! He takes immense pride in his appearance.
In terms of clothing, Blair likes anything that is on-trend. For shirts he'll wear anything from a crop top to a turtle neck, depending on the season of course. For pants, he likes high-waisted distressed skinny jeans or high-waisted distressed mom jeans. For footwear, he likes Chelsea boots but often wears plain white sneakers as well.
His typical look is:

Likes and Interests:
Above all else, Blair is most passionate about makeup. He absolutely loves the artistry and creativity that comes along with cosmetics, and how they hold the power to alter your appearance. Of course, Blair is an artist at heart, with makeup being his outlet and his form of conveying himself. Blair's interest are not limited to just makeup however, as he also adores fashion, and has always been enthralled by beauty pageants, pokemon contests, and science. Despite Blair's flamboyant exterior, deep down he is a book worm at heart and enjoys research and learning. His goal is to become a successful pokemon coordinator and he also hopes to raise strong and beautiful pokemon and to learn as much as he can along the way in order to expand both his knowledge base and his worldview.
Strengths:
Imaginative: Blair is incredibly inventive and artistic. He is extremely detail-oriented and observes the little, unnoticeable things that others may skim over. He sees the world in colour and can find the beauty in anything, he just desires to bring beauty out. His mind is constantly filled with vibrant ideas and he relies on his own personal experiences as well as the world around him for inspiration.
Compassionate: Blair may seem timid initially, but he warms up to people in a rather swift fashion. Once you befriend him, he will do anything for you. He loves his friends dearly and cherishes relationships with others. He can be whimsical in nature and often uses this aspect of himself to make others laugh or crack a smile. He is radiating with positivity and wants to share his positive energy with everyone around him!
Insightful:Blair is knowledgeable and thoughtful, he has a clear mind and takes time for profound thought when in deliberation. He is a cautious individual and prefers organization over spontaneity. He is cool headed and quick-witted and can easily come up with clear and efficient solutions for any obstacle that may be in his way.
Weaknesses:
Sensitive: Blair has a sensitive soul and is an individual who tends to be overly emotional. He isn't one to suffer with constant, lingering feelings of depression and anxiety, although he can descend into a miserable state rather quickly and come out of it just as quick. His mood can switch nearly instantaneously and he lets things get under his skin with relative ease. Despite this, he isn't reactionary and will often keep his feelings concealed underneath a facade. Despite these drawbacks, he has come a long way and is continually finding better ways to cope with his emotions.
Insecure: One of Blair's biggest personal obstacles is his own feelings of insecurity. He struggles with his confidence and often doubts himself at times and he tends to be his biggest critic. His self-deprecating thoughts and immense fear of failure can prevent him from achieving success.
Absentminded:Blair can be a bit scatterbrained at times. Despite his perfectionist tendencies, profoundness and creative nature, he sometimes struggles to organize his thoughts and ideas and therefore they may become jumbled together. He may fall into a daze or get deep into his own imagination, causing him to momentarily ignore the physical world around him.
History:
Blair is the youngest out of three children. He has two older brothers, Brody and Blaten. Both of his older brothers were extremely successful pokemon trainers and Blair grew up in their shadow. His parents urged him to follow in the footsteps of his elder siblings, however, Blair has always been far more interested in pokemon contests. He absolutely is enthralled by the beauty and the immense creativity behind them and as a young child he would spend endless hours watching them whenever they appeared on television. He saw every contest held and every single Grand Festival as well. He even begged his mother, Blythe, to take him to see a contest held at the contest hall in his hometown of Slateport city. Since that day, where he saw Wallace and his Milotic gracefully frolic about the shining stage, he has devoted himself to contests, rejecting the notion that in order to be successful, one had to be a trainer.
Blair's rebelliousness spread to other areas of his life as well. At the age of 14 he came to the conclusion that he was gay and around the same time discovered makeup. He fell in love with it almost instantaneously, and began to experiment with it. His father initially disapproved of his son's love for cosmetics, informing him that he was male, and therefore should have other, more masculine interests. Blair's mother, on the other hand, viewed things differently and soon became her son's number 1 fan, encouraging him to pursue his love of makeup. Blair dealt with feelings of shame regarding his sexuality after initially coming out, as he felt alienated and different. Over time, he began to grow out of his shell and learned to accept himself. Blaten and Brody helped him learn how to love himself and were there for Blair in his darkest moments. Due to this, Blair formed an extremely close relationship with his brothers and no longer felt in their shadow. For the first time, he stepped into the light. Now, at 17 years of age, Blair has become comfortable in his own skin and has developed tremendous makeup skills. He can paint a face no other and is very passionate about what he does. His father eventually warmed up to the idea of his son wearing makeup and has fully accepted him for who he is as an individual. Blair wants to show the world that men can wear makeup just as well as women can. Furthermore, he wants to prove that he is capable of becoming a top pokemon coordinator in the Hoenn region.
