Name: Alan Shaw
Gender: Male
Hometown: Vermilion City
Age: 17
Height: 6'2
Weight: 200 lbs
Hair: short and brown, with strands covering the top of his left eye
Eyes: brown
Clothing: blue t-shirt, jeans, brown wading boots, yellow gloves
Musculature: He has a bit more fat than he would like, but he's not morbidly obese or anything, and he’s still quite strong.
Personality: Social and outgoing towards those he knows, though he's slightly hesitant to react the same way towards strangers. Has a strong moral sense and usually thinks before he acts unless the situation doesn’t allow it.
Skills: Is very knowledgeable on the subject of water Pokemon and their abilities. Though he doesn't look to be very physical at first glance, Alan has an advanced knowledge of martial arts and is more than capable of defending himself. He's also a decent marksman.
Past: Grew up and spent most of his life in and around Vermilion, he spent most of this time out on the docks, watching the ferries come and go, up till nightfall, in which he would go back home and take glances at his father's journals and findings, and any water-type books the scientist may have brought home with him after an expedition. Though this took up most of his life, there was one occasion where he took a trip across the entire Kanto region to take his hand at training. This, however, would end up becoming a journey he'd rather forget. With only three Pokemon, all of the same type, Alan found his loss count rising much higher than his win count. Coming away from his adventure with exactly zero gym badges, unevolved Pokemon, and the realization he was definitely missing something that the more successful trainers had, he decided to just stick with his old routine for a little while longer until a better opportunity came to him. Luckily, said opportunity wasn't too far off: His father soon after invited him on one of his expeditions to Unova, and he has become quite excited for the day when they set out.
Family: Lives as an only child with his mother Marie, and his traveling father, Michael, who’s a lesser known field researcher throughout the regions.
Love Relationships?: none (He’s so alone!)
