Personal Information Name: John Paget Nickname(s): --- Age: Seventeen Gender: Male Orientation: Undetermined Occupation: Trainer
First Impressions
Appearance: John is a rather lean adolescent, with no real muscle to speak of. Only small amounts of fat seem to be present on his limbs and stomach, but in unremarkable amounts. His skin is just barely tanned enough not to be considered pale, but in truth this is merely a hereditary trait as he doesn't tend to tan often. A sharp, angular face sits upon a head of neatly combed black hair, which actually looks dark blue if the light is reflect off it the right way. This head of hair sits upon a lean, sinewy neck, which in turn sits upon a pair of broad shoulders. The rest of his body is lean, this fact having been previously aforementioned.
His clothes are usually formal, and upon hearing of the region of Lanorae his attire has changed quite a bit. He wears a formal dark blue waistcoat with a white undershirt, and a pair of dark brown pants and shoes. He also wears a pair of dark blue gloves, whose purpose remains unknown. He even has a dark brown overcoat that matches his pants perfectly.
Personality: Most would call John a rather pleasant, if not a bit quirky, young man to be around. There is always a smile on his face, and he has a gift of making the best out of a grim situation. He is also incredibly witty, as he can pull jokes seemingly out of thin air and send the whole room into an uproar of laughter. In short, John is quite the jovial and light-hearted teen, almost to a fault.
John is also incredibly smart. His vast and colorful vocabulary leave most of his peers stunned; after all, no normal adolescent would use terms such as ‘equivocal’ and ‘chauvinistic’ on a regular basis (if at all). He is also incredibly literate for a teenager, and can often times be seen with some form of book in his hand (as of late he’s immersed himself in the works of the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle).
However, John can be a bit…absent-minded at times. He often times forgets where he placed things, even for a minute. He also tends to stare off into the distance and become so enthralled with whatever is going on in his head that he becomes nearly dead to the world. It usually takes a good smack upside the head with a heavy object or a loud noise to get him out of such a state.
Autobiography History: Born as the first child of a middle class family living in Lilycove City of Hoenn. Life was fairly simplistic for John in his early childhood, as his mom would take care of him during the day while his father went to work. John loved and adored his parents as any child would, but began to realize even they had faults from a rather young age.
As John aged, his father kept trying to influence his son to join sports and similar extracurricular activities, dismissing academia as being less important. John was never athletically inclined, and failed miserably at every sport he tried. He felt like a disappointment to his father, until he discovered the one 'sport' he could excel at; Pokémon battling. His first experiences began when a young trainer arrived in Lilycove and began to challenge local sailors and neighborhood children to Pokémon battles. John watched eagerly, taking in all the knowledge he could. He became enthralled with the spectacle and fond of Pokémon through the time he watched this mysterious newcomer. When he finally announced to his father that he wished to train Pokemon, the man merely ignored him. Heartbroken, John put his dreams on the back-burner until a time when he could fulfill them.
As he progress through puberty, other issues came up between him and his father that drove the two apart (regardless of the fact that they had never really been close anyways). The two continued to fight constantly, until their conflict caused a terrible accident in which John's mother was injured badly forced John's father to look after the woman. A great amount of animosity had grown between the two men, but their love for this woman remained. So, John confronted his father, saying that he would leave the house if it would end the strife. Both parents agreed, though his mother did so with a great amount of guilt.
So, the teen found himself alone in the world, and found again the perfect opportunity to pursue his dream; Pokémon battling. He reasoned that through such a sport he could earn enough money to support himself for a while, though he did not need such an excuse to justify the pursuit of his childhood dream. It was then he heard of the region of Lanorae from local sailors. Enthralled by tales of the exotic Pokémon and bizarre technology, John hastily acquired a boat through with he would arrive in the region.
Shortly afterwords, he found himself in a strange, new place, with little more that the clothes on his back and the few belongings he carried with him. It was terrifying, awe-inspiring even. But more than that, it was the adventure of a lifetime.
