Full Name: Sam Bennett
Gender: Male
Age (13-18): 17
Appearance: Sam has light brown hair. It's cut in the form of a buzzcut style, since he prefers to keep his hair short. He stands at about 5' 11". He has a relatively muscular build: relatively strong biceps, strong core and built legs. He has good posture, standing without slouching at all times. He has fair skin, and is not too pale for a Caucasian. He is usually seen wearing a Black T-shirt, Khaki straight-leg pants and skateboarding shoes, usually from companies like Nike or Lakai.
Personality: Sam is a generally energetic person. He tends to stay quiet when he is uninterested in the conversation that he is engaged in, however. He tends to dislike people that have a strong moral code. He does, however, try his hardest to give help where help is needed.
Goal: His main goal is simply to become a trainer that is capable and can hold their own against a powerful opponent. Nothing more.
Brief History: Sam was born and raised in Fortree City. His mother stayed at home, while his father was a Pokemon contest judge. As a child, Sam didn't really have an interest in pokemon, per se. He had a pet Growlithe that he grew up with, but other than that, he wasn't exactly interested in the art of battling them. He did, however, enjoy playing sports. He excelled in almost all of them, too.
When he turned 14, all he was doing was playing sports. One day, when he came home from practice, he noticed the distraught looks on his parent's faces. They sat him down and proceeded to tell him that his pet Growlithe had died. Initially, Same didn't really feel that bad, since he was never that close with the rambunctious canine.
But months later, he began to feel the guilt hammer him down like a nail into a wooden plank. This made him see pokemon in general in a whole different light. They were complex creatures with so much to offer. When he turned 16, he asked his parents if he can go on a pokemon journey, and they agreed delightfully. Armed with only a few pokeballs, the first pokemon that Sam caught was a Trapinch.
