Design a Trainer Competition

2010
Design your dream trainer!
This is Design a Trainer! You ( as the title says), design your own trainer, post it here, and then (after August 15th), us judges will judge the trainers on originality, how descriptive your info is, and so on! May the best judge win!

GUIDELINES


This contest is pretty simple, but here are some steps in making the best trainer of 'em all!
  • History - Make it balanced between a good and bad history. Trainer should not always have the time of their life, but they should not have the worst life either. Telling us what Pokemon they have through the history would be very nice as well.
  • Personality - Make it descriptive! Don't just tell us how they act. What are their weaknesses? Their strength? How they feel about things? It'll certain give you more points than "Lilia is a very bright girl, and always enjoys hanging out with her friends!"
  • Appearance - Ahhh, the big one. Here, you must provide us with a detailed description on how they look, and not just their clothing. Telling us their body build, hair, and other minor details will help us picture the character. But what else would? Your own drawings! Right, if you support yourself with your own drawings, bonus points will be awarded if done well.

RULES

  • Entries must be posted by August 15th (Sunday)
  • Please provide you're own trainer. It's Design a trainer, not give us a form of an existing character.
  • If you provide art, it must be your own art!
  • People are free to comment on other peoples' characters. No flaming though.
  • Please follow the format that we provide you below, so it's easier to judge all of them accurately.
  • Respect the judge's opinions and choices as well as being tolerant towards other members' submissions.
  • You may only enter with 1 trainer design so be careful with what you choose!

Name: Bryce Porter
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Appearance
Spoiler:




Personality:
Spoiler:
Bryce is a kind and very positive person he looks at the world in a positive way and instead of looking at the bad,even in the darkest of times he will find the light which may be why he enjoys photography,He has no issue with battling Pokemon though he prefers to investigate the beauty of nature and what it has to offer.
around other people he is very quiet and prefers not to talk but once getting to know them he wont shut up :) Bryce is not great with girls but after the death of his grandfather he grew a liking to A girl named Lara and he has been his only girlfriend and is still with her. With raising his Pokemon he prefers to battle them against each other so they wont be seriously injured by wild Pokemon it takes longer but he thinks it benefits them.



Biography/History:

Spoiler:
Birth and Childhood

December 19 1993, the harsh Weather of Snowpoint city had caused a raging blizzard blocking all roadways and any form of transportation around the city.This caused a great deal of panic to the couple Curtice (cur-tus) and Debra Porter who were ready to deliver there second child .Debby as she liked to be called had gone into labor right before the storm started they were ready to get to the hospital and had a sitter with them for there 5 year old Daughter Candice, but the Insane conditions of the road would not allow it.Both parents being top leading scientist in the Canalave research facility and Sara the babysitter with some nursing practice had some idea how it all really worked so the couple and Sara delivered a healthy baby boy and naming him "Bryce Benjamin Porter" following the tradition of Ice sounding first names only about 25 minutes later the road clears up allowing them all to get to the hospital.

Growing up Bryce was told about his exciting birth plenty of times at the age of 5 he was enrolled at Jameson Elementary where he went to school till the age of 12,then graduated unlike most kids who started there Pokemon journeys at 10, Bryce had choose not to start a journey because of the love for his family and the dream to become a Pokemon researcher like his parents.

At the age of 8 for his birthday his mother and father gave him a Pokemon egg for his birthday thinking he may also start his journey at 10 like his sister did ,but that was not the case with Bryce,He of course wished to be a Pokemon researcher as where Candice wanted to be a gym Leader like her Grandfather Pryce Porter.

Eventually the egg hatched and o much of Bryce's surprise he had him Self and eevee Who he decided to named Lea His parents wondered why he would name an eevee such and odd name but like his parents he was a very cleaver young boy and did his fair share of studying and only 2 days later after going out to play with his eevee he came back with a Glaceon he had known about to the two rocks in sinnoh that gave off a chemical radiation that evolved Pokemon when close This was Bryce's first milestone to becoming a Great Researcher.

Teen Years

Age 14 one of the best years in Bryce's life The porter family takes a action celebrating Candice's completion of the 8 gyms of Sinnoh and like her father and grandfather doing it only with ice Pokemon only The family takes a plane to the airport of Blackthorn city, Jhoto where Curtice wants to hike to the city only a mile hike or not away and take the Ice path where he caught his first pokemon Debby agrees and they make there way in the Cave.

During the walk Bryce became interested in the strange markings on the ice covered wall taking a closer look staying behind he investigates.Lea by his side he recognizes the markings to be messages left by sneasel and weavile to mark territory and communicate, he takes out the camera he recently got about 2 months ago for his birthday and begins to take pictures he is brought out of his photo shoot by a nudging on his leg looking to his left startled he see Pokemon that was not Lea.
The Pokemon was a Swinub with 3 deep gashes along his eye quickly reacting he calls for his family pulling out a small sweater as they came running he has Lea cut the sweater into bandages then got her to gentle freeze them to the swinub's injury and not a moment later a Sneasel attacked, Bryce fought off this Sneasel and his sister tossed him a pokeball and he caught with no hesitation after it was frozen by Lea's Ice Shard this was his first pokemon.

Amazed by the happenings in the cave they family rushed to find a way out almost at the mouth of the exit Bryce got chills down his legs startled once again by what was happening he turned around to see the swinub he helped earlier his dad explained the swinub wanted to be with Bryce so it was willingly captured. Two Pokemon in about 2 hours Bryce thought this day was great.

After the 2 week Visit with his grandfather and grandmother Alicia Porter The family returns home to snowpoint Bryce has greatly bonded with his two new Pokemon and even had the snesel he had named Sid apologize to the Swinub he named Manny for attacking it an leaving a Scare on his eye that would be there for life Bryce began training his Pokemon for protection when researching in the wild and would occasionally battle friends.But the two years that Bryce was experiencing as a trainer would soon come to an end.

Age 16 ,Pryce Porter Passes away Leaving loving family to grieve, brought down by the occurrence Bryce stops training his Pokemon and spends all his time photographing things in the, Bryce turned down many challenges from trainers who caught word of how strong he had become over the two years having both Manny and Sid to evolve into a Weavile and Piloswine the only person Bryce really talked to was an old friend from school her name was Lara Barlow who also had shared the interest of photography there were developing a relation ship that was more than just a friendship and only about 3 months after his grandfathers death he began dating Lara.

Adventure Awaits

A Year passed after the death of Pryce and the family had gotten a bit better.Bryce had gotten a job for a local lumber company cutting wood with the help of Sid and Manny and Candice became the Gym leader of Snowpoint and had raised an amazing team.His mother and father still went to work in Canalave everyday and life just seemed better.The Family was eating dinner when the phone rang it, was Alicia calling to tell Curtice that the trainer who had taken over the Gym had quit to be with his family,the point of the phone call was that she wanted Bryce to be the gym leader and follow in his grandfathers footsteps.


Bryce had a hard time deciding about the offer ,he would get payed a ton of money by the league to battle trainers and if defeated give out a badge this had not been the path Bryce wanted in life but his Pokemon were strong and the thought of his grandfather being ashamed struck him hard .
With all that he would have to quit his job and break up with Lara and move away from his family and everything he loved at 17 this was no easy task they pros and cons bounced in his head before he finally agreed to do it.

only a week later he had quit his job packed his things and sad good bye to everyone, had the keys to his small apartment in Mahogany town tucked away and all that was left was to break up with Lara she did not take it well but had a suggestion to move with him,At first the plan was crazy but after discussing it with her and her parents she was allowed to go on the condition she attend Rota university of blackthorn and have a separate room and not share the bed with Bryce.Bryce's parent were not on board with the idea but Bryce was almost 18 and they could not really stop them a day later the two of them were on a plane to there new life.

Bearing new beginnings

4 years passed Bryce was still the gym leader and had many new Pokemon including a Lapras name Lana he had gotten from his grandmother when arriving in Mahogany town and a frosslass name Frosa raised from a snorunt that Pryce had in his PC and Manny had evolved into mamoswine after learning ancient power from a kind man in blackthorn. Life was good for Bryce and Lara at 22 were married in Azalea town and only a year later had a Beautiful baby girl named "Alice Debra Porter "they had a house built for a family and have another child on the way.

Bryce still lives in the custom built house with his family and still runs the ice gym his Pokemon are healthy and strong and never dose he forget the day he got the phone call that changed his life.His sister still runs the Snowpoint gym and Lara recently got into training with her Ambipom but sticks to her small photography business.It had been a life that had its ups and down but as Bryce said it keeps getting better.


Where do they appear (anime, game, manga etc.):

They would appear as an amine or manga character most likely as a gym leader :)

I really want to do this! *u*
But I don't know if I'll make it. ._.;

Would it be alright if I used a trainer I've made in the past for roleplaying purposes, or would you like a completely brand new fresh off the presses trainer? ouo
So long as you fill all the requirements you may post something that derives from the past yes.

Was really looking forward to this part:)
will be posting trainer soon.

Can i use a pkmn. i used in the "Create a pkmn." event?
If you feel that the pokemon you design corresponds to the trainer you design in some way then yes you may. Be sure to give a little information on the pokemon you designed just so we know how it relates to the trainer etc.

Name: The Hunter
Gender: Male
Age: 18-years-old*
Appearance: An 18-year-old tall male with a thin frame. His attire consists entirely of a black jacket over a black turtleneck and black jeans. His hair is dark as completely black, shoulder length, wild, and unkempt.His eyes are an extremely dark shade of brown. His skin is inhumanly pale.
Personality: He is extremely quiet, and will almost never speak, primarily b/c his voice is so deep and infused w/ malice that anyone listening flees in fear. He is cold, but not cruel. He Despises those who treat Pokemon as weapons, and believes the true way to utilizing a pokemon's full potential is through bonding w/ them.

Biography/History: The Hunter lived in the realm where Giratina resided before being banished to the distortion realm. When he was 10*, Giratina brutually murdered both his parents, and his younger sister in front of him (his orginal name was Harry, but he changed it later).He wandered the streets, homeless, orphaned, and hopless. It was a painful struggle to survive.At 14*, Arceus appeared to the realm and banished Giratina to the distortion realm, and placed an unbreakable seal over it. At 15*, one night, he was so hungry that he feared he would starve,so he stole food from a nearby restaurant. He was caught and chased by the owner and his pokemon (Aggron and Nidoking). He was cornered in an alley in minutes.
"I'll give you your crappy food back, just let me go,"he says, laughing nervously.
"Then you'll never learn, you evil, little brat,"he then says w/ a sinister air "It's time you learn a lesson you won't soon forget:Aggron, iron head, and Nidoking, use posion jab!" Harry Throws up his arms to protect himself, when both Pokemon stop in their tracks. He dares a glance to see both the Pokemon and trainer w/ absolutely terrified looks on their faces. He turns around to see what appears to be a shadow. It steps forward, wraps a shadowy wing around harry protectively, and hisses at the owner and his Pokemon, showing a full row of razor sharp fangs. As he turns to run, Aggron accidentally knocks him over, and Nidoking tramples him. In an instant, the shadow Pokemon is upon him. Harry looks away, but hears his screams of pure agony. When the screams cease, Harry looks to see that only the owner's clothes and pokeballs remain. The shadow pokemon turns to harry. He prepares to defend himself as it approaches. It stops in front of him, and "de-shadowfies", displaying its regular, smooth body. Harry reaches out a hand to the shadow pokemon, and it replied by doing the same. When their hands touched, Harry felt an incredible bolt of power, and a word appears in his head,
Abiss.
He pauses, then asks back using his mind,
"Is that your name?"
Yes. For the next 3 years*, Harry spent time getting to know Abiss (at 17, Harry changed his name to The Hunter, as well as adopted the dark attire), and competing in different battle tournaments for money and a place to stay. On his 18th birthday, he journeyed to spear pilliar to access the Distortion Realm. Once there, he is challenged by Arceus. He and Abiss conquer it fairly easily. As Arceus Faints, the portal to the Distortion Realm is opened. Abiss lands and wraps a wing around The Hunter.
I can sense something in there. Something ancient, evil, and very angry. The two had become incredibly adept at telepathy.The Hunter merely smiles and says,
"Then lets go give him Hell."At which point, they walk into the Distortion realm to avenge his family. He then spends all eternity in a constant and unrelenting quest for Giratina.
Where He appears-He appears in Platinum in the Distortion realm after Giratina is caught/KO'd
and challenges you to a battle for conquering his nemesis.
*-In The Hunter's home realm, 1,000 earth years=1 of their years
Please let me know if you spot any notable typos/spel/grammar errors, as well as if the story is hard to follow, has too many holes, etc.
Thank you.
the shadows will soon take over: The Hunter and Abiss shall lead the assault.

Spoiler'd so that you don't have to scroll down a lot more. This is my character, one who is from an RP. I edited his history a bit to give him a finishing story.

Spoiler:
Your character's name: Indigo Verez/Melissa Hart

Sex/Gender: Male

Age: 19

Appearance: Indigo isn't a large man, standing at an impressive 4'11, weighing at about 110 lbs. Let's start with his head, just because. His head is actually a bit large, but not noticeably so, with an egg shape, but it is hidden by his hair. Speaking of, his hair is a dark brown that is quite long for a guy, going down to his mid-back. He keeps it tied back so his hair isn't always in his face. His skin is quite pale, as if he didn't get much sunlight during his life. His eyes are a light blue, which could be a reason he wears sunglasses, so that his eyes aren't in pain when he goes out. His nose isn't that long, coming out only about an inch or so, and it is pointed out, his nostrils slightly visible to the public. His ears are a little large, and noticeably so, but are hidden behind his hair most of the time, so they're ignored. He has a moderate amount of freckles on his face, but not too much. His lips are fairly thin as well, not that he minds, mind you. He has a small stubble of a beard growing on his chin.

He has an average build, not muscular, not fat, not thin. His body isn't too large, due to his small stature, his arms drop a bit below his hips, making them fairly long, and his hands are a bit big too, with long fingers. His legs are short, but that's to be expected with someone of this size, but there is a long scar on his left leg that he doesn't find too flattering, so that is always covered with a bandage.

He wears a white long-sleeved shirt and a black vest that look a bit big on him, the vest has pockets on the left breast, but not on the right, and his shirt has a pocket on the right arm, sewn on himself in case he ever needed it. He wears a small earring on his right ear, and a golden necklace with an X on it. His pants are black and look a bit big for himself as well, held up by a brown belt to the third hole. On his left leg, he has a bandage over his scar, and black socks under black dress shoes.

Personality: Indigo is sort of a snob, seeing himself better then everyone else, as that is how he was raised. He has contempt for the world, but can work with it, as he does need to from time to time. Being from an upper class, he does have ability to lead, and can do so if possible. However, he is reserved, due to an injury he received from his own fault as a child, he lost the streak of rebellion.

Despite his teachings, he is afraid of taking his father's place as a company head, like he is expected to, as he can't match up with his father in ability, he is afraid he would run it into the ground. He is also nervous over pokemon with sharp claws, like a Zangoose, which gave him the large scar. He likes to have fantasies where he is in control of something, or beating his father in ability over something, still has his childhood imagination, and to cope with his intense nervousness over possibly running a company, he has developed an alternate personality, or as he likes to call her, an imaginary friend, and isn't ashamed to speak of her out loud.

This alternate personality is a female, but doesn't really come out much, simply staying within his head, she isn't too helpful, at least in his mind, but she does comfort him when he is feeling nervous, even terrified of the world at times. She doesn't really have many fears except for sex and snakes, both of them creep her out a lot, and it sort of leaks over into him, nervous of the first and scared of the second. She can't really lead well, though she does try to cheer people up. Whenever she does get out, she unties his hair, allowing it to go free, and subsequently gets annoyed when it gets in her eyes.

Their favorite food is agreed upon to be ribs, which he doesn't get a lot of to their disappointment. His least favorite food is celery, always making him want to throw up, but that's not the case with the other, her least favorite food happens to be cheese, not really liking the sharpness of it.

Indigo's hobby is video games, something to allow him to escape the real world, and what it entails. Being of an elite class, he is privileged enough to get that, in return for being responsible whenever everyone else needed him to, even with these distractions, he wishes he could have been born in a lower class, not wanting to deal with the stress, and yet he acts superior to the lower classes, which is unusually strange.

His alternate personality, Melissa's hobby is hunting. She likes to hunt for pokemon, but never gets much of a chance to both because she's never the dominant personality, and that they never have a chance to go hunting, always having to do something else. Whether it's a pokeball or a gun, she likes the idea of a hunt.

Sleep is also different to them, Indigo wants to get to sleep early and wake up early, while Melissa wants to stay up all night and sleep through the next day. Indigo's habit of being a creature of the day being drilled into him since he was a kid, and Melissa being something to try and balance that out within his own mind.

Their sexual orientations are straight, but not exactly towards other humans. They're more attracted to each other, which makes things a little weird. Yes, if Indigo were to ever break from his shell, he'd like other people, but currently, he likes his alternate personality, even if he won't admit it. Even so, that is kind of disturbing. She likes him back, too, but being a different part of Indigo, she can't really like anyone else unless she were to take control for once.

Background/History: Indigo was born into a large city upper class, his father Maximilian Verez the owner of a corporation that is one that controls the media, and propaganda for the entire region, always keeping the dictator held within a positive light for the people, tricking quite a few more then you would expect, despite his corruption. As the heir to this, he was taught to be a polite man, as well as to respect the people in charge of the different nations, but he never did, always feeling something to not really accept him for. As a kid, he was somewhat rebellious, though that was covered up by Maximilian.

He didn't want to be confined to this job, thinking it was boring, but he was taught to manage, and to lead. The secrets of the job being kept from him until he would take the helm from his old man, but this had an effect on the child, as he didn't have any friends of his age, causing him to be lonely and to act out more. When he went out, he was curious, but then that day came, he was feeling a bit more rebellious then normal, so he snuck away from his father and somehow ended up near a Zangoose. Curious, he disturbed its sleep, only for it to attack, cutting his leg very deeply. His father chased it off and got his son medical aid, but the scar was left over.

The incident scared him, and Melissa Hart was born, his alternate self, the self that he once was, with a few changes on things. He wasn't as rebellious anymore, and always went to his lessons, though how much he retained is questionable. At this point, he began to like pokemon battles and how much action they had, and wanted to become a professional trainer, like the people he saw on TV, though he would never get the chance, as his future was set in stone, or so he thought, his father thought that it was a good idea as well, to allow him to do so, in order to boost his popularity with the people, though to send him out as he was would be akin to letting a prince into a ghetto, not a good idea, so they aborted that plan.

They were mad, both Indigo and Melissa, the former because he liked pokemon training, and the latter because she wanted to feel the thrill of hunting and catching pokemon, a path denied to them, but in the dead of night, they were able to sneak past the guards and leave to start their journey.

They fight through their journey, Indigo's starting pokemon being a Weedle, being one of the only things he could catch. Fighting through the Gym Leaders, about half way, he was targeted by a group called Team Radon, who wanted to get a lot of money. They found out that Indigo and Melissa were the son of Maximilian, and that they would get a lot of money from him, but thanks to the efforts of Indigo, the Gym Leaders and the Police Force, Team Radon was destroyed.

Indigo made it into the pokemon league, into the Top 16, before loosing quite badly to a trainer by the name of Dmitri. He didn't give up his journey, and he went around the regions, never winning a championship, always proving that he wasn't the best. After going through Sinnoh as his third region, his father finally sent people to get him. Indigo tried to fight them, but was outnumbered and brought home. Neither personality liked this, but had to accept it. However, soon after, the company fell through, due to something going on at the top, Indigo never found out what, but he was free to journey around, and instead of going around to become the best, he just wanted to journey. His new goal was to find some way to bring his alternate personality to life, which sort of speaks for something about his sanity, but knowing the powers of pokemon, he thought he'd give it a shot. He didn't succeed at it, dying while researching the lake pokemon, killed by members of Team Galactic when they set off the bomb on Lake Valor.

Where does he appear?: He would appear as a wandering trainer either in the games, or the manga. Doubt the anime would touch him without killing off that second personality.


And there you go. No pic, since I can't draw to save my life, and I have no one to draw it.

Name: Taval

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Appearance: Flat grey hair, Blue eyes, about 5'10", His training uniform consists of black Sneasel-pelt robes with Arceus' circle (see thumbnail) embroidered into the shoulder.

Personality: Rather withdrawn, and won't begin conversation unless there's something weighing heavily on his mind. Only truly speaks openly with his Lucario and Master Ida. He generally will follow directions, and is very protective of other people.

Canonicity: Prehistory of the games.

History: Taval was born thousands of years prior to the events of DPPt, in Mount Coronet when it was still inhabited. Occasionally, people born in the catacombs surrounding Spear Pillar would have the potential to become Psychics or Aura users or Mediums. As such, masters of such techniques would occasionally venture up and gather new recruits. Taval was found to be sensitive to Aura at age 12, noticing a blue glow out of the corner of his eye as a Chingling approached. Eventually, Master Ida, an experienced Aura user who oversaw a haven for Aura users near present-day Snowpoint City came up and found Taval, the only Aura-child old enough to go back with him.

A while after exiting the system of caves running through the great mountain, they were attacked by an enraged Abomasnow. Tav was slammed against a cliff wall and rendered immobile, and Ida defended him from further attack. He eventually calmed the Pokemon, and took care of the boy, who now idolized the old man. Upon arriving at the village-school, Taval was assigned a novice Riolu as a partner. Years passed, and lessons happened. By age 16, Tav had learned to weaponize Aura as per the training, and his Riolu evolved. At this time, Kyogre and Groudon began fighting.

The fight moved around the globe. One Pokemon would retreat, and the other would tear up the surrounding area searching for it. It ended with a portion of the continent of Sinnoh falling into the ocean. Hoenn was now a collection of small islands. Some people there, who were skilled in creating golems had unleashed the four Regi Pokemon to "reconstruct" the islands into one large landmass. They went out of control before they were done, and the Aura users were among the groups enlisted to stop them from destroying what had already been fixed. When the Sinnoan backup arrived, the golem Pokemon had nearly proceeded to the "mainland". Taval and Lucario were assigned with the other pupils to stopping Regigigas. While they could not incapacitate it, they were very effective at holding it back. Once the other three were subdued, Regigigas stopped moving. In the aftermath, as the gathered leaders were discussing sealing away the bodies, Tav had suggested to hiding Regigigas back in Sinnoh, nearby the Aura users camp. After a few days consideration, they agreed that it would be prudent to keep the strongest one away from the others. So, they took the defeated giant with them back to Sinnoh, and sealed it up in what is now known as Snowpoint Temple.

Tav and Lucario were considered heroes in Hoenn, alongside the rest of the Aura users that had fought there. Over time, however, the names were forgotten, and the story itself passed into broken legend.

And dang, I wish I wrote fanfic (or hacks, for that matter) right now. Actually add some relationship dynamics and details. I know it'd just end up being a deadfic, though. T_T

Well, I was working on my character, and I'm done now, and signing him up in this contest! =D

Spoiler:
Name: Leon K. Markowitz
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance: Leon is 6' 6 tall, weighing 195 lbs, white-skinned, average body mass (not fat, but not paper-thin nor anything like it), one of his biggest noticeable traits is his straight/wild black and white hair and gold and silver eyes, which were of a single color each before a life-changing event (will explain in "Biography/History) altered his usual outfit as well; a black tuxedo-like jacket with white sleeves with black pants and black shoes, accompanied by a red cape he usually wears; half of his outfit a color invert, leaving a black-white outfit and hair, and a red-turquoise cape. Usually, he wears a crimson belt which holds his Kenohra Balls (custom-made Poké Balls he created) which are darkblue-colored and with a red "W K" in each of them.
Personality: He's mostly a cold-hearted person, but very judgmental when it comes to a sort of sense of justice. He doesn't let emotions get in the way of anything in his life, save it for certain of his Pokémon. He doesn't really care about other's life, unless at some point, it has to do anything with it, but very deep inside, he has a soft spot for women, usually helping them out when in danger, or in trouble.When it comes to dealing with problems of his concern, he tries to give everyone what they deserve. He's not very talkative, talking to people only when he has a good reason to, usually in a deep and heartless way, remaining without expressing emotions, and keeping people away from him.
Biography/History: Leon was born in a middle-low class place, in a distant town. His mother, Maria had given birth to him when his father, Richter, abandoned them suddenly, never to be heard from again, thus Leon would grow up without him. He had an early happy childhood for the most of it, until on his 11th birthday, when his mother gave him a Pokémon Egg meant for it to be his first Pokémon. Surprised, he couldn't wait for it to hatch and took care of it and treated it well. Just a short days later, a tragic incident had taken away Maria's life; Leon was the first one that saw her body, traumatizing him for life, but then his egg hatched into a Shiny Cranidos. Though he wasn't alone still, he now felt as lonely as ever...

4 years later, Leon have had a hard and tough life, having to go from place to place, to survive and eat whatever little he could. He still kept that Cranidos (now named "The Ramper") and was his only friend and company. He had just started getting into Pokémon battles, so he lost at them very often, usually battling for survival. Then, he had come to what appeared to be a Pokémon Trainer's school and wished so hard to be taken in. After a while and consideration, they accepted him despite his situation, and spent the next 3 years in it. 3 years passed, and Leon had found a home in said school, but he felt it was time to use everything he learned and get out there... and triumph over everyone else, having gotten rid of his feeling of insecurity.

As he's now 18, he left school without letting anyone know (of course, his cold-hearted attitude hadn't changed one bit) and started going back to battling again. This time, all the training he had paid off, as his battling skills had risen really high. He and The Ramper (now a fully evolved Rampardos) had gotten quite a lot of battles, but they just meant nothing to him, as he felt. He didn't feel compasion, respect nor trust for anything nor anyone, and wanted to find a way to make battles interesting. He heard of the Pokémon League challenge and joined, but as he wanted to go for it, he still only had 1 Pokémon. Seeing his economic situation worse, he set out in stealing a bunch of trainer's Pokémon. He had stolen a Metang from a trainer who didn't appreciate it enough, and a Gyarados from a girl that could not tame it. Now with three, he started getting into Gym battles, usually using his Ramper to win (had only challenged 2 Gyms, as his other Pokémon weren't good enough yet).

Sometime later, he had heard of underground battles; which were all about winning/losing money. Hearing this, he decided to give it a shot, hopefully setting him free from his poverty. He had stolen a set of Nuggets from a Collector passingby and sold them to earn enough money to enter. With that in hand, he got into hordes of battles, one after one, winning them easily; except one battle with literally felt he could've lost. Against a young girl named Hilary. After having a close battle, she felt an interest in such a cold and great trainer, but before she could do anything, he had already been gone. She had to find him, so he set out to look for him, not knowing Leon had traveled into the nearby desert...

Leon had been traveling a great distance into the desert, because of a strange feeling of calling for help. As he was near that desert, the call in his head was getting louder, getting near its origin. As harsh as the desert was, he was drawing near the signal's origin, and finally arrived; he had found a Lugia, weakened and hurt, apparently roaring over and over again, until it was exhausted, instea seeking help through telepathy. For some reason, the only one who heard this was Leon, who as soon as he saw the Diving Pokémon down, he tried to help it.The moment he held his head and see if it was okay, he felt a mysterious power invading his body and cold heart. He also felt the same going on for Lugia, who appared to be struggling in pain as Leon was, too. After the moment of pain was over and both fell unconscious, there was a surge of light in Leon's heart, and a surge of darkness in Lugia's, having been tampered with, escaping hsi captors but ion a weak state. Leon having woke up, got up and looked at Lugia to see if it was ok, but saw that it now was of a two-sided color; one was its regular white, while the other was covered in perpetual black, with a evil-looking red eye mirroring his blue one. Leon was amazed by such power it felt from Lugia, but he also felt strange. Looking at himself, he saw he suffered a simliar change; a colder heart, color invert and a sense of heartless justice. Apparently, half of Leon's darkness had woken up Lugia's dark side, while Lugia's light had given rise to Leon's light side, mirrored in their appearance. They were now able to communicate telepathically, so they decided to travel together, and Leon nicknamed it "Twlight". With a personality change, along with his cherished Ramper and newfound Twlight, which instead of calling from a Poké Ball, he had a Twilight feather, which he could use to call Lugia from another dimension, Leon would once again resume his challenge, hoping he can find his place in life... and a meaning to his existence...
[Next would be his present-day story, but... I'll leave that for another day.
Where do they appear (anime, game, manga etc.): He'd mostly fit to be a rival character in the manga, and a powerful final opponent in the games, as he travels to the abandoned Sinnoh frontier, which was taken over by Legendary Pokémon, leaving people to have to evacuate.

i'm in! but, my character is meant to have a very bad history... it moulds his character. is that ok?

note: before you read this, i made an edit on the 16th of August, Monday. I have coloured all my changes in Red
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: people call him "the Dark" but his real name is "Jacob Darko"
Gender: Male
Age: 23 (once again, dramatic irony)
Appearance: Tall, thin, very pale skin with pitch black hair covering his eyes from view, nobody alive has ever seen his eyes except from Lance the Dragon Champion. he describes his eyes as blood-red, with cloudy pupils, and having those eyes stare at him was like having him peer into your soul. He wears a black, flowing cloak, with special holsters for his pokeballs
Personality: self-sustaining, likes nobody, very black and mysterious mood
Biography/History:

Early Years: on the 24th of September, Jacob was born In the Verdanturf town. His mother died in childbirth, and his Blood-red eyes terrified his father so much that he thought it was a bad omen, and orphaned the child as a baby (in Mauville City, where the Pokemon day-care is now).
Childhood: While in the pokemon orphanage, he was avoided by all the other children, and the caretakers told him not to go outside.
He took to pokemn at a very early age. pokemon seemed not to fear him like others did, and treated him like any other person. His first pokemon was a Roughnor (see http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=229005&page=2 on my post, it evolves into my pokemon.)
By age 8, he was the champion of the orphanage at pokemon battles, even against the elder orphans. As a result, nobody wanted to battle him. He has never lost a battle yet.
while he was unwanted and kept to himself, he was kindhearted to anyone who would speak to him, even though deep inside, he hated being alive, and had only the pleasures of his Pokemon (by then, Roughnor, Duskull and Absol). but when he turned 12, that all changed the orphanage went out on a field trip, but he wasn't allowed to go. he was left alone in the orphanage. after a whole day and night alone, he left and travelled through the town, hearing whispers from the villagers, saying "that's that orphan, the demon" and other things like that. people shut their windows, and he was left by himself. he was ruthless and viscious ever since then. they wanted a demon, they would get one.
Teen Years:After he turned 16, he left the Orphanage, he said that he wanted to travel, so he did. he travelled all over the place. through cities, across several regions, he has been through all the lands, but hasn't gained a single Gym badge. He attempted the Elite four but was turned down because of that. he simply said "No matter, i just wanted my training to be quicker, i guess i'll train the long way" and left.
Adulthood: When he turned 20, he had his very first Birthday. After the Defeat of Nightmare, Woody (a grass type elite four member attempting to stop Nightmare) thanked him, and demanded to know who he was, his only reply was "you could at least say Happy Birthday First" before turning to leave. Woody refused to let Jacob Leave without joining the celebration in the city. Jacob accepted his offer, but asked woody not speak a word of him or his involvement in Nightmare's defeat. After the celebration he left, heading off to a new region...
He defeated team Rocket (age 18), Galactic (18), Plasma (19), Void (19) (wanted to use the power of Darkrai to block out the sun) and Nightmare (on his 20th Birthday) (Nightmare were essentially terrorist of the Akachi region) single-handedly (while Woody and the others were struggling, Jacob came in on Bladian's Back, and defeated all the trainers, before proceeding the leader), saying they were not worthy of such power they desired (note: this means he isn't actually evil, just power-hungry)

Where does he appear (anime, game, manga etc.): He is seen mid-series travelling through towns, and rumours of a mysterious trainer battling whole towns single-handedly with his unstoppable pokemon.
When Ash first sees him, it's at a distance, but he know's something's not right about him. he battles Ash in one episode, beating all his pokemon, and said that he was going easy on him.
Sightings of The Dark become more and more frequent, and Lance decides to investigate. when Lance battles him, The dark knows that Lance is not like any other trainer he has battled, and he uses pokemon that he hasn't used at all in the anime. He reveals his eyes to Lance after both trainers have lost 3 pokemon each. and Lance is stunned stiff. the battle then rages on, with Lance losing the rest of his pokemon and Jacob only using his Bladian.
After His Battle With Lance, Jacob saves Ash and his Pikachu from defeat by Team Plasma, This is the first time Ash encounters Bladian but then dissapears just as quickly, Ash catches the tiniest Glimpse of his eyes as he takes Pikachu to the Pokemon Center (it was hurt, but not defeated, though if Jacob hadn't Intervined, Pikachu would have been in a much worse state)

In the game, you here of Jacob by an old lady saying the main character reminds them of a Boy who travelled through here many years ago, if your character is Female they say Jacob was a girl.

That's Jacob, Hardened by life in the orphanage, but not truly evil.

I don't know what Gav is saying for when it is going to end, but when it's 4 am GMT time, it's 11:00PM my time, so going by my time, you technically have until 5am GMT, because here it would then be 12 Midnight on the 15th.

This is my time though, so you might want to speficially ask Gav/Abnegation, because I don't know about him. :U
