Edit:
Real Name: Jordan Tran
Real Age: 23
Real Gender: Female
Real Appearance:
Jordan stands 5'5" off the ground. At the moment, one thing Jordan is a bit bitter about is her body. She has been getting chubbier due to food cravings, and it certainly won't help when her stomach begins to pop. Oh yeah, by the way, Jordan is almost three months pregnant. So yes, very soon, her stomach will start to expand and her body will begin to stretch to accommodate for the baby.
She has short black hair with bangs that frame her heart shaped face. She doesn't necessarily like her short hair, it is just easier to manage and a lot less to deal with once she gets up in the morning. Her eyes are brown, but those are usually accompanied with thick rimmed Ray Ban glasses. Her skin is glazed over with a light tan and is clear of zits at the moment.
Jordan wears whatever she deems looks good from within her wardrobe. Her favorite going outfit though would be the one with the ripped jeans, mini skirt, t-shirt, and converse. However when she isn't going out, she just wears a hoodie and sweat pants due to the warmth they provide.
Personality:
Jordan is a determined person. Once she has a goal in mind, she will do as much as she can to meet it. People she knows will say she's as stubborn as a mule. It's very rare to see her give up, no matter how much tragedy and setbacks are thrown in her way. She hates giving up more than anything and unless she loses all hope, so it is rare to see her abandon a goal.
Because she hates giving up more than anything, she hates people saying that her efforts are futile. It angers her to hear people tell her that no matter what she does, nothing will happen. She tends to rage when someone tells her that she lacks the ability to do something and people really should watch out for their toes…. and their face… Those are her primary targets. ;D
Jordan also despises people treating her as if she was made of glass. This dislike of the feeling only came about just recently with her pregnancy. People around her began to treat her as if she couldn't do anything by herself. She just wanted people to treat her the same way as before…. just minus and add a couple of things. She especially didn't want this from her parents and her roommate. So what if she wasn't married? So what if she's a single mom? She can do it. She doesn't need to be babied. All she wants is a little faith, and this is probably the primary reason why she started Monster Art Online.
She is also known to have a sharp tongue. As long as you don't mess with her, she is pretty much a nice person. You won't be a target for her feet, hands, and mouth if you decide to stay on her good side. Her tongue gets much practice because she possesses inner dialogue... and a bad habit of randomly talking to herself in public.
History:
Jordan was born in California to Fred and Anne Tran. She is an only child, but this doesn't mean that she was completely lonely. Even though she was siblingless, she was one of the many children that are blessed with a huge family anyways. Why? Aunts, uncles, and cousins. It seemed like she was born into a family with the most complicated family tree ever. Go figure.
Well at least she wasn't completely lonely.
Jordan did well in school. She received good grades and made her own crazy friends. She loved acting and acted in school plays and musicals. In college, she majored in English. It was during her undergrad days, she met her boyfriend, Alex. They met at a Starbucks, of all places. They've seen each other before, but just never talked until the day she spilled her coffee all over him. Ever since then, they began to talk and eventually fell in love.
Life seemed to go well for her. Jordan graduated state university with a degree in English, she was preparing to apply for Stanford Law, and she was happily in a relationship with a boy. However, this all went down the drain when Alex died. He died in a car accident on his way home from work. Jordan was already depressed over his death, but what really didn't help was when Jordan found out she was pregnant with his child.
So yes, boyfriendless/spousless while carrying a child in her uterus was not the ideal situation she imagined herself to be in. However, her child did bring her out of her depression. Of course, she had support from her friends and family, but it was just too much. They began to treat her as if she were made of glass… or even worse, paper.
She managed to get away from this through Monster Art Online. Her roommate and best friend, Simon, introduced her to it. He had let her borrow his nerve gear and agreed to buy one if she liked the game. And of course, pokemon being one of her past times, she completely fell head over heals for it. She bought it the next day and began scouring the game in her favorite region, Hoenn, with her favorite pokemon of all time, Mawile.
Avatar Alias: Nebula
Avatar Age: 17
Avatar Gender: Female
Avatar Appearance:
Nebula has long, navy blue hair that slows out of her white sunhat. The hat has a plastic sunflower attached to it's seams. She wears a white sundress and a straw bag on her left shoulder. Nebula has three sets of footwear she wears for her feet. In cities and towns she walks around in white heels, but on the road she uses sneakers or a pair of flats with a flower near the top part of it. Nebula's skin is paler than Jordan's light tan skin. Her eyes are also blue, but she lacks the glasses her real life counterpart has to wear. Oh yeah, she's 5'5". (I had no idea where to put this so… yeah….)
MAO Summary:
Jordan began Monster Art Online to get away from people who knew about her pregnancy. She didn't want to be treated as if she was powerless. And for god's sakes, she was not made of glass. Nebula has only been playing for a month and a half. At the moment, She is usually on for an hour or two a day, and so far it has been enough to receive her first pokemon, Mudkip, trade it away for a fabulous Mawile, catch a Lotad, train the two and defeat Roxanne, and grind some more.
It was simple and in MAO, she wasn't treated as a useless human being who needed to be taken care of 24/7. However, life decides to screw her over when she finds out she has been one of the many chosen to actually live her life through the game unless she becomes the first to defeat all eight gyms…
Let's just say the occupants of the Rustburro City pokemon center were left deaf by the repertoire of curse words Jordan has tucked away in her brain.
