Trainer Profile

Character Name: Luther Sagewood
Nickname: Luther “Frost”
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Trainer Class: Pokemon Trainer

Height: 5’11”
Weight: 168 lbs
Hair Color & Style: Luther's hair is styled after the cold ice and snow that he loves so much. It is angular and has a windswept style that would make most think that the young man spends inordinate amounts of time in the blowing winds of the mountains he calls home. He leaves most of his hair its natural platinum blond color, except his tips, which are dyed blue and redyed with every hair cut.
Eyes: Luther has sapphire blue eyes, the color of the sea at high noon. They are thin, recessed, and a little angular, but surprisingly expressive. The young man is capable of expressing his emotions through the movements of his eyes and eyebrows alone. This is good for him considering the fact that the rest of his face very rarely moves.
Clothing/Accessories:
During the spring, he normally wears either polo shirts or a light silk, very stylized button up shirt with white trim down the part that actually has the buttons. Most of his outfits actually follow this color pattern, due mostly to his obsession with the colors blue and white, something he loves.

During summer he still wears longer pants, but defaults to a solid blue t-shirt. He hates showing his legs, only sporting shorts if he plans to go swimming, which is actually quite a rare pass time for him.

During winter, he wears a long light blue coat that goes down to his knees, very stylized, with a dark blue cape to absorb sunlight more easily.
General Appearance: Tall and slim with narrow blue eyes, Luther stands at an average height for his age. He takes good care of himself, and is in good, but not excellent physical shape. He is not in bad shape, but also does not have a particularly chiseled physique either. He styles his hair upward and swept back, and keeps it trimmed to length that, when flat, comes down to about his shoulders.

He walks in a very reserved manner, his every step cool and controlled, using the least amount of energy possible. His body language is usually closed unless he's talking about something he's very knowledgeable or interested in. The transformation when he's excited is something to behold. When interested in something, or excited, his mouth never stops moving, nor do his arms and hands. He becomes quite animated.

Upon meeting him for the first time, most people would assume him to be a closed off individual that can read the person opposite them like a book with his piercing eyes.

Hometown: Melka Village, North Godai
Personality: Luther is normally a very kind and considerate, if often quiet, person. He is a decent human being, but does not like the spotlight. He has an affinity for Ice Type Pokemon, due to his normally cold and reserved nature. He will stick up for his friends, and is extremely loyal to both his human and Pokemon friends. When close to another person, it would be hard to get him to shut up about things that interest him, and he lives for his hobbies and the few close friends he has made over the course of his life. Generally, he’s seen as quite mature for his age, though he does have his personality quirks, particularly a sarcastic sense of humor when he’s in a foul mood or is looking to protect his extremely sensitive emotions from others.

He chooses to avoid the spotlight primarily because of his introverted nature. While not shy by any means, he does not like being the center of attention for large groups of people, as it drains his energy very quickly. He also finds it generally annoying. Being the "main attraction" doesn't bother him in short bursts, but the feeling of over exposure makes him quite irritable if it is sustained for any amount of time. He can tolerate it, but he does not like it.

Standing up for others, doing the right thing no matter the personal cost, is the motto this young man lives by. He believes in the Law of Right Action above anything else that has ever had anything to do with his life. Sadly, this has caused him to become a bit cynical at times, due to the fact that doing the right things does at times carry a personal cost, but he has learned to live with the consequences of his actions. He believes in doing the right thing, but he knows that this will possibly come back to bite him if he makes the wrong call.

Due to his intellect, he can come off as arrogant when speaking on something he knows well. While he does not mean this to be the case, it often seems to be that way, mostly because he tends to spout information off at the mouth as soon as someone brings up a question about something he's knowledgeable about. The trick at that point is getting him to be succinct in his explanations.

His friends are quite important to him, though he can count the number of people he considers "friends" and not "acquaintances" on a single hand. He has trouble considering those with whom he has only a passing acquaintanceship with to not be friends. Not strangers or enemies, but definitely not friends. Those he considers his friends often know more about him than the world outside could ever dream of knowing, including his greatest dreams and his greatest fears.

He learned to be quiet and guarded around others from being picked on during his childhood by the pureblooded "elite" of the village he lived in. It drove him nearly insane, and to cope, he retreated inward. He lives a rich inner life that he rarely shares with anyone outside of his close-knit group.
History: Luther grew up in Melka Village, son of a pure blooded man and an outsider woman within the village. As a half-blood, he does have purer blood than some in the village, but was often looked down on by those who still had pure blood as being a mutt. While this did bother him immensely, his mother would often cheer him up with a snow cone or other treat. While he did enjoy this, it still did not stop him from feeling as though he was much less than those around him.

Most of the children in town were actually considered mutts or outsiders as well, and they too were shunned by the upper echelon of the city. However, while many of the older generations still considered it to be a bad mark, and prized the purebloods above everyone else, Luther didn't deal with them very often, and developed more of a hatred toward the antiquated views of his elders and certain conservative members of his own generation than any true hatred of people in general. He knew things would have to change. If they were isolated up in the mountains, his people, those he and his father were descended from, would die out eventually. He did not want to see that happen.

His parents were quiet, and his father often wouldn't push him into many social activities, seeing how it made his son cringe if he had to do too much socializing in a single week. He would allow his boy to bring by friends, usually one or two at a time, to spend time together playing or studying, whichever the case would be. The young man did not have a bad childhood, and his mother was usually there for him when he needed it. He had to learn to hide his emotions when in public, though, as it was rather embarrassing to let his sensitivity get to him in public.

When dealing with the purebloods, he tended mostly to clam up and ignore them, knowing that feeding into their cruelty would only give them power over him. One day, when he'd gathered up the necessary courage and preparations, he would leave on his own journey, and then he would return a Master of Ice in his own right, maybe even take over the Gym. Of course, he never acted on this impulse. He was scared to death of the outside world, not so much the Pokemon as the myriad people out there. He was not prepared to open himself up to so many new people, at least not yet.

The friends he has made him very happy over the years. Most of his friends like him because he's a good listener, and the stories they tell him about their lives have given him a very unique look on life where he has been able to construct working theories of how life works, learning from both the triumphs and mistakes of the people in his group. As he learns more and more information about the lives of others, he adapts it to his own life one piece at a time, and uses that knowledge to give his friends advice so they can avoid the mistakes that either they or others have made, and relive the good times.

While living with his parents, he learned many things, such as various theories involving the Pokemon of the Godai region, studies, anatomy, and other important topics that he felt should be common reading by everyone. He also delved deep into the abilities of the Ice Type Pokemon, which he found himself drawn to. He knew many people in the Village that used those types, and would constantly ask questions and play with their Pokemon.

Of all the Pokemon he had met, he found himself drawn to the pair of Snorunt evolutions known as Glalie and Froslass. The two Pokemon were mysterious and seemed to be able to peer into the souls of those they met, but underneath that cool exterior, both were generally warm and friendly with him, at least the ones he had met under the training of other people in the village.

As time passed, he eventually settled on a quest to prove himself to the people of his village. While normally he did not enjoy things such as battle, he would take to his own adventure and return a Pokemon Master in his own right, a master of the Ice Types he had grown up with, and the mysterious Psychic Types that he had learned about through and the occasional tourist.

He was older than many starting trainers, but he refused to let this bother him as he set out with his Snorunt to take on the Godai region.

Alrighty Sai! We sort of got acquainted in the Cbox already and I’m sure you want to start ASAP so let’s begin -

This is rather impressive for your first profile so kudos! He is quite the adorable character, I must say.

For his ”Height” and ”Weight” and of that age with the physique of slim, he is actually just a tad bit ‘overweight’ as one would call it. I would also assume him to be a tall yet small frame and thus if you lower it by maybe ten to fifteen pounds, it would fit your description to more healthier bit.

Though not at all a correction, keep in mind that the lighter the eyes or in what people tend to say “brighter”, that means there are less pigments within those eyes and he may not be able to focus on bright objects or scenery for long periods of times. What this means is that his eyesight will be more sensitive compared to those of brown and darker eye colour.

Although a lovely ”Personality”, I feel you can definitely expand more within that area. What exactly is a “decent” human being? For example those I deemed ‘decent’ in my country is significantly different in the States and actually may come off very rude. Plus, ask yourself the “why”s and the “how”s as you continue to go through this. Why does he not like the spotlight? Why does he stick up for his friends? And how far will he go in order to show that he is “extremely loyal” to both humans and pokemon? What will he do? Why does he choose to do this? Not only that but what about his Morals and Beliefs? What does motto does he stick towards life or himself? Does he have a dislike or likes? Strengths? Weaknesses? How do those incorporate into his lively hood and how do they change his way of thinking? Due to his extreme loyalty does it mean he’ll dive head first to protect what he thinks is right no matter what? Even if it’s wrong? Does this mean he’s ignorant? Or naive? So on and so forth! These questions are merely guidelines and not at all things you have to answer one by one!

The same goes with Luther’s ”History”. Although very cute and straight to the point, it somewhat lacks a lot of the vibe that assist us in correlating this to his ”Personality”. For example, if he was shunned or “bullied” by the people in his village due to being called a mutt and what not, would that not skew his views on human beings in general? As children, we tend to exaggerate the problems we have and the same goes with the way we think until we learn otherwise. So how did he cope, what did he do, and how did he act towards those who he deemed did him wrong? What else did he do in his childhood? What about these friends that he later will put himself on the line for? What about school? How did he fair in academics? How did he try to prove himself along the way from childhood til now? How was his relationships with his parents as time went on? Any other obstacles along the way? So on and so forth. Again, remember these are guidelines to help you think much deeper into Luther’s life to make him a much more wholesome being!

As for your ”Pokedex” this is almost correct! If she has no ”Nickname” please remove this. Please also take off the (5*11) unless you would like to leave it there as a reminder - if so please say so and I’ll ignore it. Lastly, please check the addition of your stats one more time to see if it does add up to 55.

That’s it! If you have any other questions you know how to get us! Whenever any changes have been made, please post a reply to this and we will get to it when we can. Good luck! ♥

I think I got everything. I have intentionally left some of his history vague enough to expand on in later threads. I hope that's alright. I did fix his eye color to sapphire, a darker blue, and a couple of other small changes, including the math fix. I left the multiplication up there to remind me for when Snorunt levels, so I can update it a little more easily.

Wonderful changes Sai! I am more than pleased with quite a few. And keeping is vague is not bad! Makes me want to look forward to your threads even more!

However to make up for it - which I feel that you can - is to go just a bit into the psychological process that is within Luther’s mind. Just the surface!

For his ”Personality”, there’s just one thing to elaborate, and this is also just go one step further. For what reasons does he find being in the spotlight “annoying”? Is it the way people judge with their eyes? Is it reminiscent to the time when he was bullied? Was the gears in his mind shifting towards the flight or fight moment? A time when adrenaline shoots up his vein, making his heart palpitate, condensate cold sweat which is something he doesn’t like thus making feel annoyed? Doesn’t have to be that overly detailed, but just one sentence explaining the deeper part of why this minor ‘stagefright’ annoys him!

Then for his ”History” because socialization with peers is still a rather important part of his personality (to which of course his history as well) aside from his upbringing, perhaps elaborate just one or two more sentences about his friends. When they played, did he use them as his outlet - a chance to talk about himself? Did his friends shape him in any way shape or form? Did he shape his friends in anyway shape or form? Anyone from either side have some kind of effect on each other - why or why not? That’s about it really! You don’t need to into the whole shebang of the specifics of each individual ‘friend’ but again just the surface of what may or may not happen. Use your words!

Unfortunately your Pokedex’s ”Total Stats” are still in correct. While 55 is correct, the following distribution is not. Please check again.

You know the drill! Just literally a few more sentences and a recalculation to go! ♥
