Name: Van Thomas
Age: 16
Trainer Type: Traveler (journeys for thrills, with no badges or ribbons as goals)
Hometown: Viridian City, Kanto
Pokemon: Sandshrew, Noctowl
Items: Pokeball (15), Ultraball (5), Super potion (5), Super Rod, Town Map, Bike, Pokegear/poketech/otherwise phone and watch.
History:
Had a fairly average childhood, growing up in Viridian City. Was never able to leave the town, because he was unable to safely make it through Viridian forest before having pokemon. One day, he found a Sandshrew in a nearby field and borrowed a pokeball from his father (an assistant at the local gym) to catch it. After catching Sandshrew at the age of 7, he kept it at home with him for a few years before finally leaving on his journey. His mission: to travel to every region and document his journeys to sell after returning home. Lost his first ever battle to a more experienced trainer at the Viridian gym, and trained in the Viridian Forest for a while before catching a wild Noctowl and returning to defeat the trainer from before. Now he travels the world to get more stories for his journals.
Appearance: Van is short-medium height, around 5'7 or 5'8, with brown hair kept in a ponytail with bangs covering his forehead. Lean athletic build, not large by any means; in good shape. Wears slim dark jeans, a long sleeved white button down shirt with a black kanji (japanese) lettering on the back (wears a black jacket when cold), and basic tennis shoes, with a poketech pone/watch on his wrist. Carries a small black backpack with items in it.
Personality: Van is a pretty easy going guy, and is mostly passive. Prefers to settle disputes with logic and compromise rather than conflict. He is a quick thinker and a great strategist, which helps him in battle as well as everyday life. He is not a natural leader, but not a follower, and will lead when necessary while letting others take control when it is best in the long run. He is kind toward his pokemon, treating them as partners rather than pets, and trusts them with his life. He is a hopeless romantic, though he tries his best to hide it, and often doesn't realize if he is flirting with someone or not, though 80% of the time he probably is.
