Name: Jack
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Class: Pokemon Trainer
Appearance: Jack is your fairly typical teenager. He has a tall frame, with plenty of wiry muscle visible beneath the skin, giving him a healthy look. His naturally pale skin has tanned significantly over the years due to his forays in the outdoors, giving him a bronzed complexion. His eyes reflect his love of nature, being a surprisingly lively forest green, while his hair, as his most defining trait, is a pale brown, almost dirty blonde colour, and stretches down to just past his shoulderblades, a length that means he will often tie it back with a simple green ribbon into a simple, masculine ponytail, more for convenience than style.
His clothing reflects his preference for outdoors activities. Rather than going with whatever the latest fashion is, he wears more practical clothing. Khaki cargo pants and a red and black button-up patchwork shirt are his usual attire. On colder days, he also carries a thick woollen jacket, and on hot summer days he replaces to cargo pants with a pair of simple, loose shorts. He also has a habit of wearing a short brimmed hat, similar to a fedora, when he's in the mood for it.
Personality: Jack is generally a fairly happy-go-lucky and bubbly guy, particularly if you happen across him away from civilisation. His sociability can be hit and miss, though. Some days he'll happily initiate a conversation with a complete stranger, other days he'll clam up and turn somewhat shy, with no definite trigger for either extreme.
Along with a affinity for nature is a love of Pokemon. Trainers who are cruel or abusive towards Pokemon are very quick to earn Jack's rage, and don't even get him started on criminal organisations like Team Rocket, as it'll most likely leave him in a foul mood for the remainder of the day.
In battle, Jack develops a slightly more serious attitude, but still focuses on the fun side, even if he battles with all his heart. He's lost plenty of battles in his time, so defeat doesn't really sting him as much as it might other Trainers, allowing him to focus on having his team enjoy themselves while giving it their all.
History: Jack lived a fairly nondescript life. Born to two loving parents, with an older sister and younger brother around him, Jack's childhood was the usual affair of fun, games, fights and tantrums.
The only real incident of note was, as a fairly small boy, he wandered into the forest, against his own common sense, his love of nature showing itself even them. During this small adventure, he swears he caught a fleeting glimpse of both Celebi and Suicune, but he's yet to find someone who truly believes him...as the years have passed, even Jack himself is starting to wonder if it was just his imagination.
When he was about 14, his mother's Raichu and father's Raticate hatched three eggs, with a deal made before their hatching that one egg would be given to each sibling. Jack, coincidentally, got Terrim, the only strange Rattata of the clutch, and has cared for her ever since.
On his 15th birthday, he finally decided he was ready to venture out into the world as a Pokemon Trainer, the local Pokemon Professor entrusting Aster, the shiny Eevee, to him, knowing he would care for it immaculately, given how he had raised Terrim in her first several months in the world.
Since becoming a Trainer, Jack has revelled in the chance to explore and adventure, preferring it over the battling lifestyle, even as he had completed and trained his Pokemon team. He believes he is not a Trainer of any note, but could be honestly surprised with himself one day...especially with the diverse team he has built up.
Pokemon Team:
-Terrim (Rattata, Female)
Known Moves: Tackle, Hyper Fang, Cut, Protect, Bite, Crunch, Dig, Mud Shot, Mud Sport, Mud Slap, Sand-Attack, Iron Head, Iron Defence
-Otius (Leafeon, Male)
Known Moves: Leaf Blade, Razor Leaf, Magical Leaf, GrassWhistle, Synthesis, Sunny Day, Quick Attack
-Valir (Samurott, Male)
Known Moves: Razor Shell, Aqua Tail, Water Pulse, X-Scissor, Revenge, Slash, Swords Dance
-Levis (Pidgeot, Female)
Known Moves: Sky Attack, Wing Attack, Air Slash, Aerial Ace Tailwind, Roost, U-Turn, Agility, Twister, Sand-Attack, Quick Attack
-Vagun (Rapidash, Male)
Known Moves: Flare Blitz, Fire Blast, Flame Wheel, Bounce, Megahorn, Agility, Take Down, Stomp, Quick Attack, Double Team
-*Unknown* (*Unknown*, Female)
Known Moves: *Unknown*
Strengths: Jack's known line-up is highly diverse, and most are experienced enough to have evolved, even if Terrim has chosen not to. Jack is knowledgable in Pokemon elements, and can adapt based on the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent, having worked to teach some members of him moves to counter their own weaknesses.
Individually, Jack's Pokemon play their own little roles;
Terrim, Jack's primary and signature Pokemon, has an unusual trump-card in her ability to wield Ground attacks with efficiency, and her unusual ability to use both Iron Head and Iron Defence thanks to her grey fur can throw opponents off.
Otius, as a pacifist in many respects, is something of an unusual battler, preferring to fight with status attacks than flat-out striking the opponent, but can and will fight if Jack commands him to do so...he knows this is staged violence, and can accept that...just. His pacifistic attitude has given him moderate speed and strong defences, too.
Valir, as a Samurott, is one of Jack's strognest offensive Pokemon, his Razor Shell attack fearsome in it's crushing power. The mighty Water-type also has a very commanding, intimidating presence, one that can unnerve many opponents.
Levis, despite being female, is not shy about her battling. She's fast, she's agile, and she isn't afraid to play dirty to win, as her tendency to use Sand-Attack shows.
Vagun, Jack's main mode of ground transport over long distances, is your typical Fire-type in battle...hot-headed and overconfident...but not without reason. Only Valir can compete for being the most powerful on Jack's team, and if Vagun finds himself against a strong opponent, he can usually get his act together and start playing smart battle tactics.
And Jack's unknown final Pokemon is just that, unknown. Even Jack, having only recently caught it, is not entirely sure of the extent of her battle skills...but has been training her, and knows she is skilled enough to hold her own in battle.
Weaknesses: Jack's diversity is kind of crippled by his own poor decisions. Jack doesn't suffer from the usual panic under pressure most other Trainers do when struggling, but he's still learning the best tactics for his team to use, and as such, can make critical mistakes that cost his team.
Individually, his Pokemon's weaknesses are as follows;
Terrim, despite her unusual moveset an experience in battling, is still an unevolved Rattata, and as such, lacks in both offense and defence, relying primarily on speed and agility...a delaying tactic at best for her.
Otius, as a shiny Leafeon, is recognisable, and not only that, he dislikes violence, and as such is known to hesitate during critical moments when Jack gets him to press the offensive. Because of this, his raw power is also lacking.
Valir, for all his raw power, is slow, and only has moderate defence. he can take hits as they come, but isn't so good at dodging them...he isn't exactly small, either.
Levis, despite being one of Jack's fastest Pokemon, as well as his only airborne one, once again has poor defence, and she can get lost in the moment, particularly when frustrated by a troublesome opponent.
Vagun, to put it simply, is a hothead. His offense and defence are both moderate, but when fuelled by his overconfidence, he won't use his impressive speed to his advantage, meaning having him fight to his fullest capacity is a challenge.
And Jack's unknown final Pokemon, suffers from being the least experienced of Jack's team, relying on what battle experience she does have, and the element of surprise, to get over her opponents.
