Name: Ryan Harrison
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: A blond haired young man with a single blue eye - the left one. Ryan stands at 5'11" and has a toned body kept fit from years of traveling. He wears a black eyepatch over his right eye, a rather thick one that mostly hides the three parallel scars that stretch from just above his eyebrow down to his cheek on the right side of his face. He typically wears a black muscle shirt and pants, with gray sneakers and a blue jacket, his things carried in your typical knapsack.
Partner: Dodger - Dewott, Male, Torrent. Ryan's Starter Pokemon, acquired in Nimbasa City from the region's professor, Juniper, as is typical for Starter Pokemon. Dodger was the only Pokemon Ryan took with him full time when he traveled the world for a few years, only bringing his others over for short periods at a time. Some of his other Pokemon are still salty about this. Dodger himself is a no-nonsense sort, and also acts as Ryan's seeing eye Pokemon, usually hovering just to his trainer's right to watch for problems Ryan himself might not notice.
Pokemon: Roger - Scrafty, Male, Moxie. Like most Scrafty, Roger started life as a Scraggy on Route 4. Ryan captured him on his way through the desert, and for much of the rest of Ryan's original Unova run, Roger was his go-to 'indiscriminately beat the crud out of the enemy' Pokemon and a key component of his Unova league team. Feeling like he over relied on the Scrafty his first time through, especially when that run ended with Marshal stonewalling him in the last match, Ryan did his best not to rely on Roger during his travels, seriously annoying the proud Pokemon. Now that he's back in Unova, Roger is the only other Pokemon from that original team aside from his Starter that Ryan intends to use for Unova League Challenge 2.0.
City you live in: Ryan was born in Castelia City, but has not actually lived there for several years.
Personality: Ryan is a breezy, relaxed, happy-go-lucky sort, very easy to get along with. He takes few things seriously, training Pokemon being one of the few exceptions. His kind nature allows him to get along with just about anybody, and he enjoys playing foil to more serious people. However, he can be judgmental when things don't live up to his standards, especially when those things are trainers, or even Gym Leaders, and the things related to them. He can be exacting, and tends to expect great things from just about anyone.
Goal: Memory tour through Unova, maybe get some Gym rematches, and then make another play at becoming Champion.
History: Ryan has wanted to be a trainer from a very young age - what kid hasn't? Even an accident in his youth involving a frightened Sandile and Ryan's right eye only made him more determined to meet his dream. By all accounts he was and is a very successful trainer, there aren't many who can count even one victory over an Elite Four member, and Ryan has had three. However, his streak ended in failure, he never even reached Alder. After that abject failure, he took some time to travel, drifting from region to region, taking on a few local Gym Leaders, and learning new tactics and skills, to grow more talented as a trainer and finally claw his way to the top. Now, he has returned to Unova to do just that.
Other: Ryan is, like some of the other Trainers here, an experienced Trainer who is giving Unova a second run through. The region has changed greatly since he left, and he expects to have some great surprises along the way.
