Trainer Profile Character Name: Zachariah Nicholas Kustra Nickname: Zac Nickel Gender: Male Age: 19 Trainer Class: Rider Height: 6'1" Weight: 180 lbs Hair Color & Style: Zac's hair is coloured black, and almost always cut fairly short. He shaves his facial hair when he has the time, and so sometimes he is completely shaven, and other times he has quite a bit of scruff. Eyes: Zac's eyes are light blue. He possesses thin black eyebrows. When he is feeling strong emotions, Zac's eyes glimmer with intensity. Clothing/Accessories: Zac packs light, but the few pieces of clothing he does wear are durable and versatile He owns multiple plaid shirts, and a few pure black or white ones. Over his legs he wears simple blue jeans. He owns thick jeans for when it is cold, and lightweight jeans for when it is hot. For footwear, he owns a pair of cowboy boots and a pair of runners. The only accessary Zac bothers with is his modern cowboy hat, which rarely leaves his head. Zac owns a thick leather jacket to protect himself from the elements. General Appearance: Zac possesses a fairly solid build, though it is one covered in small cuts and bruises. Because of a lingering injury, Zac walks with a slight limp favouring his left side. Zac maintains a fairly serious expression when he is alone, but breaks out into a large lopsided grin when he is with friends. He often motions with his hands when he is speaking, partly to emphasize a point, and partly because he has trouble thinking of the right word to use. When he is excited, Zac gains a small stutter. Zac tries his best to maintain good hygiene, but the messy nature of his chosen hobbies often lead him to become dirty sooner or later. A few of his teeth are chipped, giving him a slightly rugged appearance. Hometown: Vlostik Town, West Godai Personality: To strangers, Zac Nickel exudes an aura of calm confidence. He can easily be described as one of those strong, silent types, just by the way he carries himself. Zac has achieved enough success in his life to allow him to develop a positive self-image, though his few encounters with failure have taught him to avoid being overconfident. Not one to draw much attention to himself, Zac will rarely speak first in a conversation. His father had taught him the importance of careful observation, and Zac prefers watching and listening over direct conversation. Most who do converse with Zac will notice that he is quiet, polite, and an all-around nice guy. Zac does not seek attention, but he does feel the basic human need to be accepted. Zac is generally shy with people he does not know personally, because his experience growing up in a small town where everybody knew everybody did not give him many chances to go out and meet new people. While Zac is generally serious most of the time, his dreadfully dry humour emerges when others least expect it. He is often able to find humour in the most unlikely places. Underneath Zac's silent and serious exterior, is what can be described as a warm and friendly personality. Zac enjoys being around other people, and is curius to hear them tell their stories, though he does not like to talk about himself much. He prefers to hear the stories of others because he finds them more interesting than his own. Zac already knows his own history, so he wants to hear everyone elses. Zac is a friendly guy, who will readily help others if help is needed. In the close-knit community of Vlostic Town, Zac witnessed strangers coming together to overcome hardship many times, teaching him the value of compassion. Zac also cares about the well-being of pokemon, and while he cannot quite be described as nurturing, he can be surprisingly gentle when dealing with Godai's unique creatures. As someone who worked with and around pokemon his entire life, Zac understands and respects the integral role of pokemon in today's society. He also recognizes that pokemon are semi-sentinent, and that each one has its own personality and nature. Other strong aspects of Zac's personality are his fiercely competitive spirit, and incredibly reckless thrill-seeking. While Zac avoids direct attention to himself, he does aspire to be respected by others for his skill and dedication. The only adrenaline rush Zac enjoys more than winning is the rush he gets attempting something dangerous. Zac embraces unique challenges often just to prove to everyone that he can do it. Zac enjoys stacking the odds against himself, just to see the limit of what he can overcome. Because Zac does not rely on public attention to shape his self-image, he must rely on other ways to gain self-validation. When Zac wins a competition, contest, or bet, all the work he put into competing feels justified, and he himself feels pride over his accomplishment. When Zac successfully completes his risky and adrenaline-filled self-challenges, he experiences feelings of empowerment. If Zac can successfully ride a muscle-packed Tauros for eight seconds, then he feels like he can accomplish anything; however, the feeling always ends, and soon he is thinking of more ways to feel that rush of empowerment. Zac's mixture of quiet cowboy and youthful risk-taker often lead him to make tough decisions. When forced to make a decision, Zac makes one quickly, trusting his gut over careful foresight and planning. Zac likes to remain flexible, and keep all of his options open. Another one of Zac's flaws is his tendency to be too trusting. Zac believes that everyone in the world has good intentions, and will often take everything everyone else says at face value. Due to his upbringing, Zac possesses an almost flawless moral compass. He generally cares about the people and pokemon around him, mostly because he recognizes them as living entities, and understands that all living things have a purpose. Zac would never try to actively break the law, unless he was subject to very unordinary circumstances. In fact, the biggest person Zac is a danger to is himself. His risk-seeking competitive spirit often puts him into unwinnable situations, though through determination and effort, Zac wil try win anyway, only to hurt himself more. Zac's primary goal in life is to do something truly legemdary that will make his name live forever. Zac believes that the two primary purposes of life are to make the world better than how it was when you arrived in it, and that every man should aspire to do something great to be remembered by. Zac believes that if one attempts to improve every day of their life, then eventually he/she will be able to accomplish something truly amazing. Zac himself wants to do something big enough to be remembered for. He also believes that impovment can happen on a global scale, and that if everyone does their part, then eventually every problem will be solved. History: Zac's parents owned and managed a ranch just outside of Vlostik Town, where they primarily bred pokemon such as Tauros and Milktank for commercial purposes. Zac grew up surrounded by pokemon, though becoming a pokemon trainer was never really his interest. His parents possessed kind and gentle hearts, and they taught Zac to respect pokemon. From his parents, Zac also inherited his strong work ethic, stubborn determination, and calm courtesy. Unfortunately, Zac did live a life sheltered from much of the world's vices, leading him to become too trusting of others. Zac had many friends growing up, and enjoyed a happy relationship with his parents, but the person who was the closest to him as his older brother, Jake. Zac and Jake's relationship was strong, but loaded with competetition, with each brother striving to best the other, and Zac often coming in second. Zac's habit of pointless risk-taking originates from his desire to distinguish himself from his brother. Jake's most defining characteristics were his loud voice and big personality. Jake's tendency to dominate conversations often caused Zac to seek attention via other means, leading Zac to adopt a more quiet approach. It was Jake who pushed Zac into the dangerous sport of bull-riding when Zac was still only sixteen. Bull-riding was the perfect sport to match Zac's unique personality. Not only did it require raw guts, but it also required focus, strength, and determination. Zac loved the sport, and it loved him. Eventually Zac grew cocky, and he would often boast about his exploits to anyone who was willing to listen. Of course Zac never attempted to ride a full-grown Tauros until he reached adulthood at the age of eighteen. By this time, Zac had drifted slightly away from his brother, who was often out busy with a new girlfriend. Zac himself dated a little, but never entered something serious. Also by the age of eighteen, Zac graduated high school. His marks had never been amazing, but he had managed to earn himself a solid graduating grade through dedication and effort. Zac continued to improve his bull-riding skills, and was beginning to generate some attention for his success. Then he entered the ring riding Lucky Lou. Feeling confident, Zac invited his long-time crush to watch him conquer the beast. Lucky Lous was big, nasty, and wild, even for a Tauros, and it bucked Zac off in a short four seconds. Unfortunately, as Zac was bucked off, he was thrown directly into the cold iron fence bordering the arena. As Zac attempted to clear his head and rise back to his feet, Lucky Lou charged at him, and despite Zac's attempts to escape, the Tauro clipped Zac's left leg. Zac would live, but his left leg had been seriously injured, as was his right shoulder from his flight into the fence. For nearly an entire summer, Zac was forced to remain off his feet so that he could recover from his injuries. The incident in the ring caused an awful amount of embarrassment for Zac, mostly because of how high he had set everyone's expectations with his own bragging. After the injury, Zac began to act much more humble. Being contained inside with a painful injury caused Zac to become quite frustrated. He wanted to be outside doing things, not inside recovering. Being injured sparked a new breed of determination within him. He promised himself that he would never let himself feel as defeated as he did then. Shortly after Zac's accident, his father found a strange bird-like pokemon on the family's land. The pokemon was very far from home, and sporting an injured wing. The Kustra family decided to take the pokemon in to help it recover from its injuries. The pokemon would later be identified as a Fletchling. Because the rest of Zac's family needed to work outside, and Zac was confined to heal inside the house, it fell primarily on him to nurse the Fletchling back to full health. He and the bird developed a close bond, and later he even named it. Eventually the Fletchling was healthy again, and Zac had recovered as much as he possibly. With bull-riding no longer a possibility for his future, Zac decided to try make a name for himself as a pokemon trainer, and soon he embarked on a new journey with only his Fletchling by his side. As an added note, after the incident in the ring, the Kustra family released Lucky Lou into the wild, deeming the pokemon too wild for their purposes.

No need to apologize! I made that mistake too when I first started! Anyways I'm actually about to log off right now. Another mod will get to this tomorrow or later today, but in the meantime while waiting, I recommend reading "Common Application Mistakes" and especially "Accepted Characters" to see what you may or may not be missing *cough*hometow, more on eyes and hair, etcetc cough* ;D I'll be moving this back to Character Application now. However if you make any other changes, or want us to keep waiting while you add in more, just post a reply to this so we know when you're ready or if you want to wait just a bit longer! |

Hey Stannis! Nice work! You honestly don't have much at all to edit, but I think there's just a tiny bit here and there we need to fix. Firstly, I think you need to expand on your General Appearance a tiny bit. We like to use this section for the character's body language, facial expressions, they way they walk etc. Just think about how the way they move their body is different to anyone else. For example, maybe he has a limp, or maybe his lips quiver when he's nervous. Just anything you can think of ^^ Your Personality is perfect, but maybe try to add some of that into your History too. For example, how has his history shaped his Personality into what it is today? Has he also had anything else happen in is life? If you can think of any other key facts that have happened to him, maybe ones that he'd tell people about, either as an accomplishment or as a terrible moment, try and put that in. That's pretty much all I've got to say. Good work, and I can't wait to see this finished soon ^^ |

Thanks for the feedback ![]() I expanded on the General Appearance and History sections. I added another paragraph under the first one in the GA, and expanded a bunch of paragraphs in the History section. |

Ok, much better! One thing I did forget to mention previously was the eyes. I think that's one more thing that you could work on; light blue is fine, but maybe talk about their shape and such. You don't need much more, we just try to get you to give us more than short answers lol. | ||||

Aite my turn Stannis! Good job so far on the edits, but there’s just a few more I’d like to see before I can fully accept your profile. Let’s begin - First, for your ”Clothing [...]” it would appear for the first half of the first paragraph in ”General Appearance” should be in the Clothing section. But to add on to that, is that all he literally wears? No other style? No other clothing? Not even another shirt? What about during cold or hot weather? Does he literally not carry any other accessories especially for a trainer? So on and so forth. I would highly recommend checking ”Accepted Characters” to further assist you or if you can see what you may or may not be missing from others! To continue; although I absolutely love Zac as he is just adorable, I feel you can add in much more! Constantly ask yourself “Why” and “How” as you go over this once more. Why is he “not one to draw attention to himself”? What I mean is how does he feel in this process of making sure he’s not in the spot light? Does he not want to draw attention to himself because he prefers being the observer? Or does he simply enjoy resting his jaws together in silent contemplation as he watches the world move around him? Iunno! Not my character! Not only that but why does he love attaining this adrenaline rush? How and why does he feel this way on a psychological process? I’m labeled as an “adrenaline junkie” and I can tell you that I feel absolutely free and powerful as if I am invincible as I fly through dangerous situations, stress free. I couldn’t care for that moment about life or death and simply because ‘I can’ and that ‘no one can touch me’ that makes me love that rush. So what about Zac? You’ve explained it well, however it’s barely just the surface - so, delve into his psychological mind! Then, perhaps add a few more sentences or paragraph or so about his morals and beliefs? A life motto perhaps? How does he view mankind and/or Pokemon kind? What motivates him? Is there something he won’t budge away from no matter what? So on and so forth. I feel the ”History” could also use a bit more of what further shaped him over the years but honestly I’m okay with that. So all I’m asking is to mainly focus on his Personality! Lastly, for your ”Pokedex” please recheck the math in your 5 stats! You are correct to have 50, however everything totals to 53 and not 50. Then, of course, alter the rest of the distribution accordingly. That’s it! You know the drill when anything has been changed! I look forward to your changes. ♥ |
