Name: Jesse James
Nickname
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Occupation: Team Diamond
Appearance: Medium long light-black hair covers the face of the handsome but stern looking teenager. Standing at a decent 5’8 he looks more like an average teenager then a member of the notorious Team Plasma. Well-groomed and well-dressed, the boy is quite a looker. In fact his charming looks would have no problem getting girls if only his grim hazel eyes or the snarl in his voice didn’t scare them away. Not interested in the opposite sex, Jesse is rather lean and is somewhat tanned from the hours he spends training.
Personality: Unlike the famous outlaw that he was named after all, Jesse is a man of few words. Set in his own ways, Jesse is strong-willed and stubborn usually refusing to change his ways. Determined to become a strong trainer, he’ll usually resort to any means necessary to reach his goals. Stern and brash, he has a very good work-ethic because he feels that training Pokémon in any other way would be too prissy and fancy for him- a lifestyle befitting one of those breeders or coordinators.
A teen who believes in hard-work above all else, he is unlike other teens who strictly believe in having fun. Incredibly disciplined, he does not smile or joke around but only desires to perfect himself. The straight man in any comedic duo, his goal in life is to become perfect in mind, body and spirit as well as to be famous.
To his Pokémon the boy is quite harsh giving them hard work-outs, short breaks, etc. If a Pokémon is not up to his high standards he has no issue releasing it but besides that treats the Pokémon that he respects and views as strong as individuals or equals, usually choosing their follow their revered advice.
He has a short list of likes but he enjoys history, rap music and the quiet. His dislikes are many and they include loud people, obnoxious or arrogant people. His greatest fear is that he will die nameless and unknown and his goal in life is to be famous.
History: Born to a family that included his father, a famous, retired Pokémon master and his mother, a Pokémon researcher, Jesse was constantly in the spotlight much to the boy’s chagrin. Despite his no nonsense-attitude, his parents were always relaxed parents and he was constantly around Pokémon. Due to this, an interest of Pokémon had always been placed on Jesse from birth. However his parents’ practice of treating Pokémon with care never seemed to rub off on him as he always seemed to be incredibly harsh with his Pokémon.
Despite this, from birth he was always talented with the control of Pokémon. He entered a few junior Pokémon battles with Pokémon borrowed from his mother or father and always seemed to win. He was the most famous trainer in the City other than of course the Gym Leader and his Father. However, Jesse was never happy because of course he was always under his parents’ shadow. If he ever made an achievement people would say, “Well that’s obvious- look at the boy’s parents!”
A notable event in the boy’s childhood was when he was determined to start his Pokémon journey at 10- his father said he could do that but he had to defeat him in a battle first. He was soundly defeated by his more experienced father and forced to stay at home.
So one day a few years later, sick of the treatment that he had to endure he packed up his bags and left. Running away from home he left his parents a note- his final words to them were that when he returned he’d be a Pokémon master and defeat his father. His destination was the Lanorae region, somewhere he’d heard before from his mother.
Finally reaching the Lanorae region, the teen has yet to find anything of note but is still looking for his first Pokémon and to join Team Diamond.
