Ok, Oni. You've inspired me to try this RP you speak of. I hope I've done everything correctly :/
Name: Chase Munroe
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Personality: Chase is a very loyal person. He believes that loyalty and respect are the two most important traits a person should have. He's never let any of his friends down, and he's always been right beside them if ever they should fall. Sometimes, Chase takes things a little too far. He'll fight for anything his friends believe in, even if he know's they're wrong. This sometimes gets Chase into alot of trouble, and he's seen his fair share of fights.
Though he can be rather stubborn, he seems to make friends with ease. He doesn't try to take charge of the situation. Other children feel comfortable around him, and begin to open up. Because Chase respects other children's opinions so much, he's very easy to get along with.
Chase might seem like a very serious person, but inside, he's a fun loving, energetic child. And he's not afraid to show it. He doesn't try to hide his emotions for fear that others might think him "un cool". Instead, he makes his thoughts and feelings known, and waits for others to come to him.
He's a very selfless person, and doesn't mind making sacrifices for the good of others. He doesn't mind being "second best", or even "third best" for that matter. He considers himself an important part of any group, and to him, that's all that matters.
Because Chase is usually seeing things through someone else's point of view, he has trouble forming is own perspective on things. When faced with a difficult decision, Chase depends on others to decide what to do for him. He goes into panic mode if he's alone, and is unable think straight. He makes rash and hasty decisions, sometimes leading to bitter endings. Chase is a true follower, and is willing to put himself on the line for others.
History: Born on Cinnabar Island, Chase has always been fascinated by Fire Type Pokemon. In his early youth, he spent most of his time watching hopeful trainers challenge the Gym Leader, Blaine. He would sometimes even skip school to watch, wide-eyed, as over-confident trainers would get pummelled by Blaines fierce Arcanine. He would later suffer the conciquence of missing school, which Chase thought was well worth it. Seeing Blaine battle inspired Chase to make one of the only decisions he'd ever make for himself in his life; he vowed to someday become leader of the Cinnibar Island Gym.
At and early age, Chase's parents filed for a divorce. They just wanted different things, and decided it was best to be apart. A couple months later, Chase found himself riding the back of a rather large Mantine every second weekend to Fuchsia City, where his mother had moved to.
Chase's mother and father used to fight alot over Chase. Loving both of his parents equally, he decided to not participate in choosing who's house he's spend the summer in. He didn't want to hurt someones feelings. He did, however, make sure they knew that he loved them both very, very much, as they did him.
Eventually, it was decided that Chase would spend half the summer at his mother's, while the other half would be spent back at Cinnabar Island with his father. Him and his father, an ex-trainer, share a very tight bond. He would tell Chase about all his adventures he had as a trainer. His father is the only person Chase has ever told about his dream of running the Gym.
Appearance: With his father having a jamaican background, Chase's skin is a darkish-brown. He stands 5' 3'' tall, and is rather skinny. He has long, brown dreadlocks, about shoulder length, that he ties in a large pony tail. He is often told he has his fathers deep, brown eyes. His rather flat nose fits perfectly above his wide lips, which seem to have a bad habit of twitching whenever Chase get's frustrated.
Living on Cinnabar Island, Chase has seldom suffered from cold weather. If he's not topless, he's wearing a stretched, white undershirt. His long, blue, bathingsuit-like shorts are tied above his waist with a piece of brown rope. On his feet, he wears big, brown hightops, with a white Nike check on the outsides.
He has a small, gold hoop in his right ear. On his neck, you'll find a spherish pendant his mother gave to when he was eight. He considers it good luck, and never takes it off.
Chase also where's a worn, brown glove, cut off at the fingers, on his right hand to cover up a nasty burn he recieved a while back. It reminds him that not all Fire Pokemon want to be friends.
Hometown: Cinnabar Island, Kanto
Preferred Starter Pokemon: I don't want my character to be one of those cliche "I like fire, but I got grass... stupid grass. Oh, wait! I've just discovered a Pokemon's type doesn't matter! I love you, grass!". No, I actually want him to recieve a Fire Type Pokemon. I have a backup idea, but for now, you guys can decide.
Preferred Starter Region: Johto, because my character will fit in perfectly the way Oni and Chabz have gone about thier adventure.
