Trainer Profile Character Name: Joshua Ebony Novikov Nickname: Josh, Novi Gender: Male Age: 16 Trainer Class: Pokemon Trainer Height: 5' 6" Weight: 105 lbs Hair Color & Style: Josh has slightly messy, bleached blonde hair. It's shaggy and a bit spiky at the sides. Eyes: His eyes are a jade green color, big and energetic, and he has thin, light brown eyebrows. Clothing/Accessories: He normally wears baggy sweaters or button down plaid shirts and beige pants / shorts or jeans. Even in the cold weather, unless it is necessary for him to stay alive, Joshua doesn't like jackets or scarves. He adores chilly weather and likes to wear as little as he needs. As for shoes, he normally wears black converse or his gray running shoes. His ears are pierced and he one single, small dream-catcher earring in his left ear. General Appearance: Joshua's build is thin and small, his hair almost always just the tad bit messy and fluffy. His hair was originally light brown but he bleaches it blonde. His eyes are a soft green, but almost always seem to be lit up with an energetic nature. He has lots of light freckles across his cheeks and nose. Josh seems to always be baring a playful smile upon his light lips. His stature is inviting, chin up and eyes bright, and he bounces around on his heels when very excited. Joshua's face always betrays a lot of emotion, and his smile is contagious to some. When he walks, often times he almost skips. ![]() Hometown: East Godai, Wisteur Town Personality: friendly, quick to trust, headstrong, brave, easily worried Josh loves social interaction, leading him to be incredibly friendly and open with others. He can sometimes come across as over the top happy, the reason for this being that he sometimes can't tell when someone wants to be left alone and he wants to make friend with everyone. He hates it when people fight, and normally is one of the first to try and resolve things, even if he did nothing wrong in the situation. Joshua sometimes can't tell when people have bad intentions, and if they seem nice he'll start to trust them, often times too soon. This has gotten him back-stabbed once or twice but he seems to want to trust people unless they've already given him a big reason not to. When a problem appears, Josh doesn't normally think things through before facing the conflict headstrong. Sometimes this can either end up making him look brave, or stupid. Joshua cares a lot for his friends, and while he can be a little clingy, if you're ever in trouble, count on him to be there for you. He tends to get overly stressed about other people's problems and if you need him there for you, he will be. As for his relationship with his father, while unstable and while Josh dislikes his father, he wishes he could talk to him and he still yearns for a father figure in his life. Josh really enjoys cold weather and snow. He's never had a specific reason, but because he loves the forest so much as well, snowy forests will make him melt. One of the only things he really admires about Spring and Summer are the flowers. He loves any sort of wildflower and used to make crowns out of them for his mother and sister. Joshua's favorite food is icecream and he will eat it even in cold weather. Joshua sometimes needs a little attention himself, due to him always paying attention to others, sometimes he enjoys being the spotlight. He very much dislikes it when he's completely ignored. He even more so hates fire and getting too close to a flame. He's also always been terrified of Thunderstorms, and he despises them, not for any particular reason. History: Joshua was born to a loving mother and twin sister. His mother always taught him to be tolerant of anyone, no matter how odd they might seem. That if they aren't hurting themselves or others, their decisions should be respected. Josh took it to heart and still does. His mother truly wanted happiness for her son. Joshua's mother grew sick when he was twelve, and with her children's help, was able to be nursed back to health. But Josh often describes the experience of almost losing his mother to a disease as one of the most terrifying times in his life. His mother is now healthy, as is his twin sister. Josh doesn't like to talk about what happened to his father. Put in the simplest of words possible, Joshua wasn't meant to be born, and when he was his father left the family behind. Joshua never talks to his father, and only once was he ever contacted by the man. He doesn't talk about this experience much either, however what he has mentioned to his mother about the incident was that he was trying to make excuses for why he left the family and why he'll never talk to his son or daughter. School has always been hard for Josh. He never really talked to the students in his class because he got so caught up in schoolwork. Because of the lack of interaction he got with his classmates, Joshua tends to now greet people warmly and pay a lot of attention to them. While it can be a little overbearing, he is very afraid of being lonely like he was in school, before he chose the path of a pokemon trainer. Joshua is and has always been incredibly close to his sister. His sister's name being Ivy, he and her had an almost entirely cooperative relationship with one another. Joshua often helped his twin with chores when their mother was sick, and was the one that brought home schoolwork for Ivy when she skipped attending school in order to take care of Mother. Ivy normally, being the more nurturing of the two, would be the one nursing their sickly mother to health, while Josh was often seen tutoring to make money, and working around the house or around school. Joshua learned his teamwork from this experience. Joshua always felt incredibly attracted to the idea of becoming a Pokemon Trainer. It had always been his dream, as it was for most young boys like himself. He caught his beloved Bulbasaur at about thirteen years old. He now travels around East Godai, training to become the trainer he's always longed to be, but never seems to want to leave East Godai in fear of leaving his family behind. He was told a while back he has an uncle somewhere further away, but Joshua is, in all honesty afraid of this uncle and what he might think of him. Because of this, he's never met his uncle.

Hey Fiction, nice to meet you! You've done a good job with Joshua, however as is always the case, we just have a tiny list of things to edit. Let's go!

Alright, nice work! I think the General Appearance just needs a tiny bit more, however. Maybe take a look in the Accepted Characters section and take some inspiration from others, just to get the gist of what you can add. Thanks for the patience again, and I can't wait to see with what happens next! ^^ |

Alright, we're pretty close now! I still feel like the History is missing something. In Godai, students can choose Pokemon Training as a subject, so wouldn't he just enjoy those subjects instead of wanting to drop out completely? Is there nothing else that's happened in his life at all? |

Alright bud, this is so much better! I may have been a tad misleading when I mentioned about including his likes and dislikes. What you've got it good, but I think showing us his likes and such instead of telling us sounds better. Instead of listing them, maybe talk about them a tiny bit? Why does he like the cold? What happens when he's hot? Just things like that ^^ Thanks for your continued patience, we're so close now! |

Alrighty Fiction! Looks like it’s my turn for that last approval. This is a wonderful profile so there’s just a few things I’d like to see added before I can accept your character - For his ”Weight” and probably his ”Height” being, 5’6” and 105 pounds is quite underweight for a trainer and for someone who is thin and “small”. For example in my country at that age, 5’6” is rather tall and not that small at all unless they were malnourished or had a thyroid deficiency where most muscles that should be prominent are lacking. If you would like to keep him thin and “small” I would recommend increasing the weight by ten to fifteen pounds to keep him from experiencing any other physical and internal issues in the future. For his Hair [...]” what is its length? For his ”Clothing [...]”, does he have a certain style than his usual other than cold/hot weather? Or is it just something as simple as that? I’m only looking for a sentence or two to be honest. Let’s zoom into his ”Personality”. First on there, for the first line with the uncapitalized “f”, is that there on purpose or did you forget to remove it? It’s fine if it’s on purpose! Anyways - When reviewing this, constantly ask yourself “why” and “how” like any other realistic individual that you would assume for your own character. Why does he like social interaction? How does he feel on a psychological level? Does he like seeing the smiles on others which in turn makes him smile? Is he desperately searching for something that may be lost upon himself that he can’t tell if someone wants to be left alone? Does he always believe that people need a companions and disregards those who may just want to be alone? Why does he hate it when people fight? What emotions go through him as he witnesses this? Why can’t he tell if people have bad intentions? Is he too trusting? Not observant? It is because he’s uncomfortable with not trusting others upon first impressions? Basically this applies to all the other paragraphs as we go down the list. However, what else can you tell me about Joshua? How does he feel about these personality traits he has? Good? Bad? Why to either? What are his morals? Beliefs? Something he’ll stick to no matter what? Anything he’ll turn a blind eye towards? A life motto perhaps? A way of life or a type of motivation even? Try to avoid “you” and stick to third person in order to make it a bit more professional! Don’t be afraid to really get into the details and descriptions. The same applies to his ”History”. We as humans are a very complicated species - we are this because what separates us from animals is the fact that we are aware of our very own conscious and we have the abilities to make decisions based on any factors that shaped us to be. This being said, things don’t happen just because so and so said so. Just because his mother taught him a certain way, Joshua - as an individual - in the end he must be the one to accept it and embed it into his lifestyle. So my question is why or what experiences allowed this idea that his mother taught him to be put into Joshua’s being? What did he see? What was the reason or justification that Joshua accepted this as his own thoughts? When he practiced it, was there a sudden longing for the results that transpired from this? I know this is quite a deep thinking but you don’t have to think too deep! Just use it as a guideline haha. But to continue - How did Joshua feel through all these experiences and events that transpired into his life? How did he feel on an emotional and perhaps psychological level during this time for his mother? Did he solidify anything in his way of thinking? Did it change him in any way? You say it was his most terrifying time of his life - so how did it affect him from then on? What other experiences, obstacles, and events went through these 16 years of Joshua’s life that continued to stimulate his personality growth into how you described him to this day? What about friends? Socializing with other people? Just because he was caught up in schoolwork doesn’t mean he’s the only person who does the same. Did any one ever come up to him personally and worm their way through to become his friend? I’ve met so many of those people and they’re amazing friends today. What about Joshua? If not, then that’s also fine too! But why then? So on and so forth. I know I’m asking a lot but honestly I’m just looking for a few more sentences on elaboration especially his ”Personality”. That’s it! Everything else looks absolutely perfect. You know the drill once any changes have been made. You’re so close! ♥ |
