Hey, can I still join? I'd love to RP some actual battles. Here's a character if I can (I'm going to use a future version of one of my previous characters if that's okay. I put the earlier version of him in the Mainstream RP Character Bio page).
Full name: Edward "Ed" Thistle
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Personality: He is confident, but can easily get flustered if he does not know what's going on or something does not go according to plan. He is always up for a fight (but not actually aggressive), wanting to uphold Blackthorn's reputation as a place from which strong trainers come. He is less eager to prove himself as he used to be, and is more assured of his competence, but still feels the need to be a good trainer as something that drives him. He is a strategist, and loves to come up with sequences of attacks for his Pokemon to use in battle.
Appearance: His hair is a very dark shade of brown, and his eyes are a somewhat lighter shade of brown
. He typically wears a hoodie and jeans, with no bright colors not really caring much about his looks. As such, his hair is often messy as a Rattata's nest. When he was just starting out as a trainer, his Axew bit him on the left hand, leaving a faint scar there. With regards to weight, he is neither over nor underweight.
Pokemon Team:
Haxorus (Dino, Starter Pokemon),
Absol (Angel [no relation,
@Merciless Medic]),
Kingdra (Carrie),
Gallade (Kay),
Dusknoir (Morgan),
Flygon (Shimmer)
Backstory: Ed started out in Blackthorn City, dreaming of being a powerful trainer, like others before him. Lance, in particular, was young Ed's hero, as a mighty dragon-type master. He eventually started off his journey at the age of 14, with his Axew, Dino. Throughout his travels, Ed has shown a preference for the dragon-type, but is always willing to catch a powerful Pokemon if it crosses his path. For example, one morning he came across an Absol that had wandered into his camp and fallen asleep in the night. Ed promptly caught it in a Quick Ball. In fact, the first Pokemon that Ed caught after battling was Carrie, his Kingdra, who he needed another trainer's help to subdue. Kay was caught after a series of supernatural events happened, leaving the Gallade incredibly injured [this happened in a different RP]. Morgan and Shimmer were caught and trained during some time Ed spent in Hoenn. Now, Edward Thistle is ready to bring his A-game to the Alola League, and his Pokemon are too.
