Trainer Profile

Character Name: Luther Fox Hartmann
Nickname: Fox (Doesn't go by this most of the time outside of family)
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Trainer Class: Backpacker

Height: 6' 3” (190.5cm)
Weight: 175 lbs (79.38kg)

Hair Color & Style: His hair is so blonde its practically white. It's a short shaggy, greasy, mess that tends to fall in front of his eyes, and looks like the closest it gets to a comb is his fingers raking through it on occasion.

Eyes: Large, expressive, greenish blue eyes which are often underscored by dark shadows from little sleep and a frequent scowl. His eyebrows match his hair color, and are rather thin, not that they are often noticeable beneath his messy hair, except when he has pushed his hair out of the way if only so one can see the skeptical quirk of a raised eyebrow, or better suffer the effect of his glare.

Clothing/Accessories:
Luther dresses for the outdoors, where he spends most of his time. It shows in the wear and tear on his clothing.

Most commonly he is dressed in well-worn denim jeans usually rumpled and covered with dust from the road at least. Held securely in place by a sturdy braided belt, these jeans have plenty of pockets for holding all sorts of things. In the harshest of heats, some of his dingiest jeans have been cut into shorts to prolong their life and his, however this is only the case in harsh tropics and blazing deserts.

His upper body is clad in an equally dingy shirt, long or short sleeved depending on the climate. None of them bear logos or designs, simple functional shirts that are wrinkled enough to tell you they are probably just stuffed in a bag and cycled through rather than properly folded. As the need arises sometimes these shirts are layered with others for extra insulation.

Overtop of his pants and shirts, Luther sports his longtime and weary companion, a long brown coat. Water resistant, with many pockets, and a good lining (he has had replaced more than once) this sturdy all-weather jacket seems as much a part of the dusty traveler who wears it as their skin. Its pockets serve as a frequent home for the traveler’s hands, and the smell of smoke from campfires, tobacco, and herbal cigarettes cling to it as much as to the wearer.

On his feet he generally wears heavy full-grain leather mountaineering boots. Of any article of clothing, these seem to be the most taken care of and the least worn out, as he actually bothers to replace them from time to time. That’s not to say they seem shiny and new (unless they are at the time), these are generally caked in mud and dust like the rest of his attire tends to be.

A constant traveler, Luther is almost never seen without his large and sturdy backpack. It carries all his essentials that do not fit in his pockets. The backpack is stuffed full of things like spare clothes, a wok, rope, a tent, scarfs, bandannas, swimtrunks, clothespins, rain pants, a poncho, bug netting, emergency flares, rations, a collapsible shovel, pokemon food, first aid kit, and other outdoor survival necessities. His bedroll is usually rolled up nicely and either tied to the top or slung under the bottom. Basically it is the most important possession he owns, because it holds almost everything he owns.

Hung from a sturdy line around his neck, tucked under his shirt, is a small gold ring, set with a pearl.


General Appearance:
Luther is on the taller side of average male height; but without his coat and backpack to help distort his silhouette, he lacks the kind of bulk that would make him a particularly imposing figure. Prone to skipping meals (sometimes by necessity), Luther is skinny not sculpted. His wiry musculature comes from the exercise he gets trekking all across Godai.

Luther tends to walk with a slouch, the overall bearing and posture of someone who barely managed to get out of bed. He doesn’t stroll so much as trudge from point A to point B, with a gaze that is frequently downcast. When he travels down a street he rarely adjusts his path to avoid others; but instead seems to challenge them to get out of his way through either indifference or aggression. Often has his hands stuffed in his jacket pockets if they aren’t occupied by his, near constant, smoking habit.

Long, bony, fingers are usually holding an herbal cigarette, but the tobacco stains of the real thing still linger faintly, and sometimes he backslides. When he smokes it more often looks like a force of unconscious habit than an act that causes pleasure or enjoyment.

Generally tired, there are often dark circles or bags under his eyes, and his pale skin that refuses to tan is often dirty from sweat and travel, thus giving many the impression of a homeless vagrant than a traveling pokemon trainer.

In cities and urban areas Luther’s brow tends to be knit more into a scowl most of the time, and he has the air of someone being stuck somewhere they very much do not wish to be. Tension is held up in his neck and shoulders as if expecting danger. However in less densely urban regions, and especially in the wilderness he seems to relax more, and on a really good day, a smile might even break through his generally blank expression.

Adventure Log
 
My First Real Test - 11EXP, Posted Image 1,714, 13AP, -2 Pokéballs.
Luther sets out with Azalea, to search for answers at the Monastery in Northern Godai. While he found no new leads, he met with the world renowned Momo Dimartino. While he was there, he also befriended a very clingy Snubbull, and a starving sickly Joltik.

Danger Finds Its Way To My Idle Hands - 57EXP, Posted Image 4,844, 7AP.
Luther is stopping over in Cascadia City. He attempts to test his pokémon's strength against an aspiring Rockstar, Jade. After the battle, Luther learns a valuable lesson from a concerned nurse about how he works with his pokémon. Later that day, Luther meets a strange woman named Regina, who leaves him with a business card for a homeless shelter. That night Luther encounters and battles some teenagers tagging buildings with a familiar symbol. Deciding he doesn't want to get tangled up in anything, Luther heads to the center for the night so his Pokémon can recover and they can continue on their journey.

Always Be Prepared I - Posted Image 4,050, Old Rod, 1x Net Ball, 1x Fresh Water, 1x Great Ball, 2x Potion, 1x Ice Heal

I Fight The Chill Of Death - 17EXP, *dian* 1,467, 6AP, Captured Onix! –1 Great Ball, Found a Sail Fossil!
Braving the trip to Marook Caves in the winter with only his pokémon was not the best idea. Luther gets lost when a storm rolls in, and eventually falls into a tunnel that collapses. He finds himself mostly unharmed in a cavern where he decides to whether the storm. They soon discover the cavern is also home to a powerful foe. In an attempt to protect Luther, Azalea evolves from bulbasaur to Ivysaur, and the team makes a heroic new friend. On the way out of the cave, Luther finds a pokémon fossil and takes it with him. Eventually free of the cavern, and completely exhausted, Luther manages to signal the Pokémon Rangers in the area who come to his rescue and take him to Melka Village.

Hey Panda!

Because of the Rules just above when posting this, I'm going to move this into the "Incomplete Characters" section due to it being a WIP. But no worries! Whenever you're done, simply post a reply to this and we can get crackin'! Good luck! ♥

I'm so sorry about that I think I was too eager to get started and despite seeing the warning about not posting in accepted characters, I somehow did not see the place for incomplete characters. Won't happen again.

I believe I have finished the character, sorry for the wait, and sorry in advance for the verboseness. I can get carried away sometimes.

Alrighty Panda! We’ve already been slightly acquainted, and I’m sure you want to get accepted ASAP, but first don’t even apologize! We thank you for your eagerness and as always we’re eager to have you here as well. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; as long as you’re trying we can’t ever get mad. The more verbose the better I always say - better to have too much detail than none at all, but I digress. Let’s begin -

For his ”Eyes” this is okay but perhaps add in another sentence or two about the size? Shape maybe? How about the complimentary eyebrows? Narrow? Wide? How high up the head or how low? Etcetc.

Overall, I must say Luther is a cutie! I love him!

Honestly (or personally) I’m not too keen on the bullets/listing of Likes/Dislike but due to the very descriptive ”Personality”, I’ll let it slide. However, if you would like to change it in the future, try and incorporate that into his Personality in paragraph form.

But, if I were to put in a real suggestion, try and keep it in Third person perspective, and avoid the “you/r”, “our”, etc that I see lingering about. Not a necessity but just something I wanted to point out. But regardless, this is good.

However, all the Kudos goes to your ”History”. Absolutely well done there. ♥

Everything else looks perfect! Please post a rely when any changes have been made. If you have any further questions, you know how to reach us.

Thank you for the kind welcome!

I have added a few more lines to describing his eyes and gave mention of the existence of eyebrows. Hopefully to a satisfactory extent. It is funny that they are my favorite feature of human anatomy and yet I find describing them with out purple prose and redundant metaphor rather difficult.

You flatter Luther, and fortunately for us both, he exists in a realm where he can not meance you, or blush, for being called cute.

I agree with you about the likes and dislikes. It was a holdover from a previous incarnation on a site where that was required. For its flaws, I owe them for his detailed personality as it required 5 strengths 5 weaknesses, 5 personality pros and 5 cons. That depth required a lot of thinking. Still, the obvious list of likes and dislikes did feel like a lazy cop out and should be left more for people to discover in character, so I removed them.

I also attempted to bring it back to a more third person perspective, though I am sure I probably missed some spots.

Thank you for the compliments to the history, I was worried it might be too predictable or cliche.

Nah! To me it wasn't - admittedly maybe in the beginning, but most cliches have really unrealistic upbringings that lack any emotions or possible outcomes. Yours was realistic and definitely justified. So overall no, I didn't think it was cliche.

This is fantastic -

1/2 Approval on my end. Lovely job. ♥
