This is my first character, so it's far from perfect. I may have said too much, but I'll know next time to shorten my descriptions. Also, sorry about the color changes - the text color was being lousy.
Full Name: Bryan Drake Allister
Age: 15 (Born on August 1, 1994)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Bryan is tall and slender, standing at 6'1" and weighing a mere 145 pounds. He has medium-length light brown hair that he often styles with gel. When the sun shines on it, it vaguely resembles a lion's mane. His skin tone is unnaturally pale, but it looks strangely beautiful in the moonlight. Although he isn't very satisfied with his facial features, they are actually quite attractive. His cobalt blue eyes shine like a clear summer sky. A slightly pointed nose and a somewhat handsome smile complete these features. As for clothing, Bryan prefers to dress lightly, since he grew up in a warm, moist climate. Formal suits and polo shirts disgust him. He could never envision himself wearing any of the two. Instead, he wears a casual black or gray t-shirt that hugs his torso. Tighter shirts have always been his preference. His black leather jacket, which he had won in a bet not too long ago, is his favorite possession as far as clothing goes. Because it's relatively light, he often wears it even while traveling in sweltering heat, mostly due to him growing up in a region that is warm year round. Most of the time, he wears faded blue jeans with a thick black belt. He cut a small loop in the belt and attached a strong bonding system to fasten his satchel to it, eliminating the need to strap it over his shoulder. His brown satchel is surprisingly spacious despite its small exterior. It has six different sections, each serving a different purpose. He uses one section for empty Poke Balls, one for medicines, one for stones and other items, one for food, one section for his Pokemons' Poke Balls, and one section for important items. Running shoes bathed in a military gray and black color complete the ensemble.
Personality: Since infancy, Bryan has always exhibited characteristics of ambition and determination. He is always looking for new ways to become stronger, both physically and mentally. Wilderness survival is one of his strongest points. He is rather intelligent for his age, and he applies various strategies to every battle he fights, whether it be using his opponents' attacks against them or using the environment around him to his advantage. Although Bryan is headstrong and stubborn, he also has a passionate and caring side, especially when he sees a person in need. He believes that the satisfaction and encouragement of others is the key to becoming stronger mentally. Bryan also has a good sense of humor, often mocking his opponents' battling techniques and occasionally cracking jokes. Although when he defeats an opponent, he often congratulates them for trying. Even though he has a wild side, he is very loyal and kind to his Pokemon, and treats them like family, not just comrades.
History: Bryan was born a few minutes after midnight on the first of August, 1994, in Solaceon Town. He was born prematurely, about two weeks early. His mother tragically died while giving birth to him due to unforeseen complications. This left Bryan's father, an archaeologist working at the ruins on the outskirts of town, to take care of him. Even without his mother, Bryan still enjoyed a normal infancy and toddlerhood. He became unusually interested in books, and he read almost constantly. This allowed him to develop an extensive vocabulary and a sharp mind early in his childhood. When he was five years old, he received his first Pokemon, courtesy of his father, a baby Gible. Since Bryan had a love for Pokemon at such a young age, his father knew that Bryan would train it and develop a close friendship with it. Bryan played with it every day and won his first Trainer battle not long after. At the tender age of six, tragedy struck yet again when Bryan's father was killed when one of the ruins he was working at collapsed. In the wake of grief, Bryan decided to embark on a journey with Gible. He had no idea where he was going, but one thing was certain: He had to leave Sinnoh. Bryan felt that if he stayed, he wouldn't be able to shake the feeling of sadness that plagued him, since simply being in Sinnoh would remind him of his dead father. He bid Solaceon a final farewell, and began his adventure, a six-year-old boy carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He walked for miles and miles, sometimes going a few days without eating. Luckily, there were many towns and cities along the way, and he often pilfered food and supplies from local Poke Marts to allow him to survive. Bryan and Gible became very close, often challenging wandering Trainers to battles and winning almost all of them. Bryan now makes his home in the Ferius region, an area with deserts and wastelands covering approximately two-fifths of it. Ferius has crime lurking in every corner. Bryan, now aged 15, decided that he should form an organization of able Pokemon Trainers to help put a stop to this crime. He believed that he would make his parents proud if he made a difference in the world for both humans and Pokemon alike. This new organization came to be known as the SRT, or Stability Revival Team for short. Although the SRT is small in quantity, Bryan is actively looking for new members.
Pokemon:
Gabite
Bryan's Gabite was given to him as a baby Gible as a gift from his father when Bryan was five years old. His father found it wandering around the ruins. Gible and Bryan developed a very close relationship over the years. It later evolved into Gabite during a Trainer battle. Gabite's known moves are Dragon Rage, Secret Power, Rock Tomb, and Sandstorm.
Cacnea
Bryan found Cacnea while he was walking through an arid desert when he first reached Ferius. The Cacnea took an instant liking to Bryan, and began actively following him. After some contemplation, Bryan decided to take Cacnea with him. Although Cacnea's mischief has gotten him into trouble at times, he still cherishes it. Cacnea's known moves are Brick Break, Ingrain, Needle Arm, and Facade.
Staryu
While en route to a nearby oasis city in Ferius, Bryan found a Staryu floating on a small pond in the middle of the desert. The Staryu was fatigued, as if it hadn't eaten for days. Bryan gave it some of the Pokemon food he was carrying. The Staryu warmed up to Bryan and wanted to travel with him. Bryan happily accepted. Staryu's known moves are Water Pulse, Confusion, Rapid Spin, and Recover.
Luxio
Luxio was caught as a Shinx, courtesy of Cacnea. Cacnea's incorrigible knack for trouble sent it wandering into a den full of Shinxes. Terrified, Cacnea ran out of the den, followed by about twenty Shinxes. After scolding Cacnea for wandering off, he ordered Cacnea and Gabite to control the angry Shinx pack. Although almost all of them ran off in fear, one remained. Instead of knocking it out, Bryan showed remorse for the Shinx and decided to catch it. Shinx later evolved into Luxio during a training session. Luxio's known moves are Shock Wave, Charge, Bite, and Mean Look.
