Name: James Jones
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: James is a laid back, calm teenager. He wears his scruffy shirt which is stained and dirty, and his skinny jeans. James' hair is wild and messy, it is a light, chocolate brown color which he hardly ever has cut. James wears his red Vans all the time (some times if his Mum doesn't know, he sleeps with them on) even though his Dad thinks they look silly and he thinks James is trying to be cool and fit in, when James isn't, he just loves his vans. James' height is astonishingly only just above 5ft, which James thinks is extremely small for age. He has a tanned skin after working under the blazing hot sun for eight years. There is a long, pink scar down the side of his leg, which he got three years ago after Team Magma attempted an invasion at Lilycove City.
Personality: James is a quiet, shy person. He let's everyone else do they talking while he absorbs his surroundings. If someone was teasing him or someone was bullying him, he'd just let them do it, he'd let them hit him, punch him, call him names, and James would just take it all, but if someone abused a Pokemon in anyway, verbally or physically, he would see red and lash out. His memory his very bad, but he happy about that because he then doesn't remember all the bad things in life that has happened in the past. James was a top of the class student, straight A's, he was the perfect student. In his free time, he usually shut himself away in his room and expressed his feelings in his paintings. His Mum thinks he is the next Leonardo da Vinci, while James thinks his artwork is average. He had tried to copy the other children and be "swag" but failed miserably and got laughed at over and over again, so he just gave up and decided to live his life how he wanted to, and not try and copy the children around him.
History: Originally from Pewter City in Kanto, James had then had friends, he had actually wanted to go school, but at the age of 8 years old, James and his family had to move to Lilycove City in Hoenn if his Dad were going to keep his job as a sailor. James then had to adjust to new people, new surroundings, and he had no friends. On the weekends James usually had to help out his Dad clean the ship, check to see if the sails weren't damaged in any way and things like that. Three years ago, Team Magma had attempted an invasion on Lilycove City to capture the water type Pokemon. They had then failed, and while attempting to save the Pokemon, he got hit by one of the weapons, causing a large gash on his leg. James wanted to be free from the "prison" of having to help out his Dad, having no friends, having to do what he was told, but because James was a shy boy, he didn't say anything to his parents.
That's why James was ecstatic when he recieved his invite to the Pokemon Professor's Lab to recieve his first Pokemon. He had always wanted a Pokemon, and he didn't care what shape or size it was, he just wanted one so badly. He recieved a list with the letter as well, stating which of the Pokemon he could choose from. He thought about this carefully, as this was a very big decision in his life. He did his research on all of them, and in the end, he chose Torchic. And that brings us to now. (Sorry for the strange last sentence, I didn't know how to round it off).
