Would love to give this RP a shot, so I guess I'll just leave this sign-up here.
Name:
Dvalin Knight
Age:
17
Gender:
Male
Home Town:
Olivine City
Appearance:
Dvalin is rather tall standing at around 6'3. Dvalin has a nice tanned skin color from being outside a majority of the day. He is very athletic from spending his days outside working out or simply going for a run.He has hazel brown eyes which lie behind his basic black framed glasses. His facial features aren't very spectacular, just another basic face as people would say. Despite his basic facial features though, he still stands out in a crowd. He like to keep his dark brown hair smooth with 4 small spikes covering his forehead. He usually likes to wear a white and black collared shirt under his white and grey jacket, with a pair of royal blue shorts, black gloves, stripped socks and white,blue, and black athletic shoes. He also carries around a single strapped blue and black backpack that usually carries anything that he would need ranging from water and towels, to first-aid kits if needed.
Personality:
Dvalin has separate personalities if you want to call them that. To people he has just met, they will say he is a rude, arrogant and cocky kid who believes he is, has been, and always will be better then you. To those who can get past that or his elders, Dvalin is a kind and caring person, extremely respectful and will do just about anything to place a smile on your face. He is extremely intelligent from also taking days off from his workout routine to learn about technology and pokemon themselves. In battle, Dvalin is a tactician, planning his moves 5 steps in advanced with extreme careful thinking and planning. He also shows his arrogant attitude in battle no matter who he is facing due to his belief that he is the better trainer then anyone in Jhoto. Despite this however, he is extremely passionate about every battle and will never underestimate his opponent. His drive to become the next Jhoto champion drives him forward, believing that winning that title will fulfill his dream of being recognized as the best in Jhoto.
Brief History:
Being an only child and having a rather rude personality he never really got along with the other kids in Olivine city so he had quite a lot of time when he was done with his school work. Dvalin's usual daily routine was to wake up, eat, go out for a jog or lift weights, come home, shower, eat, school work, rinse and repeat. His mother was a former pokemon trainer from the Unova region while his father was a computer genius, helping to invent many things. Dvalin first took an interest in pokemon after his father gave him a special headset. This headset allowed people to create their own team and battle with one another from just about anywhere in the world. At first, Dvalin was reluctant but gave it a shot. He enjoyed it and made it to rank one in under a week of joining the ranking system. He then changed his routine to fit studying about pokemon and going online to keep his number 1 spot intact while still being able to work out as usual. He never traveled anwhere outside of Olivine City so this will be his first taste of a real adventure.

Roleplay Sample:
"
Ok Salamance, Use Giga Impact and finish this fight!" I yell, snapping my fingers as if to signify to my opponent that this match is all but over. Salamance charges down toward the enemy electivire, building up energy as it descends, my opponent panics, trying to figure out what to do, yet knowing deep down inside, he already lost the moment i challenged him for his number 1 ranking position. Salamance connects, knocking the electivire down, rendering him unable to battle.
"
Electivire is unable to battle, The winner is Salamance. The winner of the bout and the new number 1 ranked player is... Dvalin Knight!", the announcer proclaims to the stadium. I stand there with my head high glad I won, yet disappointed, because getting to rank one was so easy.
"
This... This isn't right! You just joined a week ago, how are you able to beat me, the number one ranked player online?!" I hear the person i just defeated shout toward me. I chuckle a bit as i reply, "
Kid, I have always been number 1, you were just keeping it warm for me." I turn my back to him and walk off. I take a deep breath as i remove my glasses from my face. I have done this same motion multiple times, yet it still sends chills down my spine. When I open my eyes, I find myself back in my room.After looking around my rather plain and clean room for a few seconds, I walk toward my desk and pick up my actual glasses and place down the headset my father gave me. I really can't believe i didn't want this thing at first. I look next to the headset to see an open book about pokemon type match-ups, and a bit of dry drool from last night while I fell asleep reading. I shake my head, place my glasses on and adjust them so I don't look like i just woke up and placed them on in a hurry. I run downstairs to see my mom who has been impressed by how well i have been doing in the simulations and my father, who may not have been a pokemon trainer, but still knows quite a lot about them and is a big reason as to why i started taking a liking to pokemon. I smile at them, sit down and begin to eat my small breakfast so I can hurry up and get to my morning jog.
"
I heard you've taken the online ranking system by storm Dvalin." My dad says while eating a piece of toast. I smile as I reply to him "
Yeah, getting to first place wasn't hard at all after all that studying I did". My mom while impressed by how well i have done, still wasn't convinced that I have the potential to be a great pokemon trainer though.
"They are just simulations though Dvalin, a real battle is nothing like those online battles you have"
I look at her frowning a little, knowing she right, but still a bit upset that she doesn't see that I can be a great trainer.
"
I understand that you don't see those battles as real ones, but for the time being, it's the best way to measure my skills with a lot of people in the world, and right now I really think I can be a great trainer, but sadly it's all I can do at the moment." I realize who i just spoke to and instantly regretted it. I quickly stood up, finished my food, bowed and apologized to my mother. I went to my front door, grabbed the handle and took a deep breath.
"
Today is another day, let's power through this workout!" I think to myself as i open the door, letting the bright light of the sun and sea salt air of Olivine city hit me right in the face as I head outside to continue my daily routine.
