Name: Townes Bin Hassan
(Tow-Ness Bin Has-san)
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Type: Civilian
Hometown: Orre desert
Appearance:
Townes has olive-coloured skin and black hair, but it is impossible to see his face at all under his Tagelmust, which is indigo, and worn at all times. He has a short, neat beard, and his eyes are a stormy grey. He usually has a calm, detached expression on his face. His teeth are a healthy off-white, and he speaks with a soft, Arabian accent. His jawline and cheekbones are quite thin, and he has quite a handsome face.
He is fairly tall, and moves with a certain grace and fluidity. His arms reach down to just below his waist, and his legs are long but not gangly. His feet and hands are both perfectly proportioned with the rest of his body, and his nails are finely kept. He stands perfectly upright at all times.
In regards to clothing, Townes always wears traditional Tuareg clothing- his Tagelmust always covers his face in public, so that an onlooker can see only the eyes, and only comes off at home. He wears a Burnous practically all of the time due to the relatively cold temperatures of Sinnoh compared to his native Orre. The Burnous is a beigey-brown all over and his trousers are the same colour. He wears black boots and cotton grey socks.
Personality:
Townes is a very kind and soft-hearted individual, and he is always willing to help a person in need. He is forgiving and charitable, and very understanding of the problems of other people and he never hesitates to help them. He is very hard-working, and never loses his temper under even the most turbulent of circumstance. His intelligence is very admirable and he uses it just so.
However, he can become extremely preachy towards people who he feels aren't as hard-working or as goodly as him, and he can be seen as very arrogant. His religious beliefs make him seem alien and different and he is fiercely proud of them, and refuses to abandon them under any circumstances. He can be very stubborn in regards to change, and prefers things being the way they are meant to be.
He is very skilled with computers and technology, and an excellent teacher of these subjects. However, his capabilities with Pokemon are very poor, and although he gets on well with his own Pokemon, he has a phobia of others and is often very unwilling to work with them. He loves reading and would rather sit down and read an ancient book than go out with friends- some would say he is the classification of the word introvert.
History:
Born in Orre to a traditionalist, nomadic family, Townes spent the first years of his life living in Orre's unforgiving desert and moving from town to town. He was discovered as an adpet with technology when he was in Agate City, and was given a place at a boarding school there for his intelligence and capability with academics. He adapted to village life but was always too different from other children to really become one of them. He thrived on knowledge and learning and loved nothing better than listening to long lectures about how things work and why they are the way they are.
On his seventeenth birthday he was given a Nidoran (Male), which he named Hassan, after his father, as a partner and the two became quickly inseparable. He was never driven enough to become a good battler and never particularly like seeing his Pokemon in pain, but he did somehow get his Pokemon to evolve into a Nidorino and by a bizarre twist of fate, his parents sent him a moonstone they had found whilst traveling in the desert. Hassan evolved instantly and became Towne's friend, coworker and heavy-lifter, as well as a contemporary bodyguard, capable of battling without orders, which is why he is so useful to Townes, who is essentially useless at Pokemon battling.
He received a letter from the Pokemon Trainers Ultimate Academy, who had heard of his prowess with computers and technology, asking him to become their primary technician and computer person. He agreed to, and moved to Crown City the following year. He was daunted by city life and he became very scared of most Pokemon after an incident involving an Infernape going ballistic and badly burning his clothes and right arm. But he still works at the academy, and even occasionally gives lessons to students on computers and the proper way to administer technologies to Pokemon- although the latter is very, very rare.
Pokemon:
Species: Nidoking
Nickname: Hassan
Personality: Hassan is the opposite of his owner's calm, serious persona. He's exuberant and playful, and great fun to have around, but never gets annoying to his owner who he appreciates has a difficult and often stressful job. He's smart, but not a genius, and very strong, which is why Townes uses him for heavy lifting, transport, and other physical tasks.
Moveset: Double Kick, Crunch, Super Fang, Toxic
