Trainer Profile

Character Name: August Walker
Gender: Male, decidedly bigender
Age: 15
Trainer Class: Harlequin

Birthday: February 19th
Zodiac: Entwickson the Fish
Alignment: Neutral Good
Religion: Open to listen, otherwise unaffiliated.


Height: 5'7"
Weight: 110 lbs
Hair Color & Style: August has gorgeous golden hair down to his eyes, curly when short and flows very slightly in locks when it's just a bit longer.
Eyes: Deep green, with slightly girlish lashes and an inquisitive look.
Clothing/Accessories: August has an extremely exotic taste in clothing, stemming from his complex tastes in what he creates. Since he makes all his own clothes, he tends to stand out in a crowd. Usually made of silks or high-threadcount fabrics to feel nicer on the skin, or strange materials to give a desired look, it's still always designed for more extreme movement. For colour he prefers darker hues of brighter shades, like a burgundy or midnight blues. In the winter he happily wears the furs and wool that would otherwise be unfitting for the warmth, but still in a strange fashion. It usually includes thich jackets with long and floppy hoods and boots that go up to his knees.

He has multiple piercings all about his body- Many in his ears, between his nostrils, on the right side of his upper lip, and a few in his eyebrows. However, he usually just has flesh-coloured hoops or studs in the more ambitious places, saving them for the right occasion. This being said, he has a very large jewelry collection, albeit mostly stage-grade and hardly worth anything.
He also wears face paint and makeup if he has time to apply it in the morning. What it looks like is up to him, but he prefers a more natural look, just some decor around the eyes and maybe a quirk in the smile.


General Appearance: He's a bit shorter than average height, and thinner than he should be too, though he's very fit because of his interests. Anything besides that, though, completely relies on the occasion. If it fits the role he's attempting, he'll slouch or strut without batting an eye- Unless flirtatiously. Caught off guard one would find him with a relatively jolly expression and a straight spine, or possibly using his hands as feet.
His natural build is pretty normal for his age, a bit short but in generally just smaller, not squat. His face is roundish with a smallish nose and slightly pale, along with all his other skin- Which burns easily in the summer, and almost never tans properly, to his undying chagrin.

Hometown: Kotoba City, East Godai
Personality: August is an introvert, but not an especially obvious one, nor an especially extreme one. Better than his various performances and exemplifications, he enjoys the creative process that leads to them. His ideal day would include nothing but hours of planning and a chance to try them out.


He always loves a long walk or an evening breeze, in love with nature as much as any of his other joys; Anything the world shows him that he cannot understand garners his immediate respect and interest- He often thinks about things idly, and it's usually nature.
By talent August is a nimble tailor, but by joy he is a skilled performer, elastic and athletic in various ways and a good shot at most acrobatics, whch shows both his precise and fun-loving qualities. Other notable things are his skill for acting and song, his near-everpresent sense of awe at the workings of the world and its facets, and a soft side for good food.


August is someone of complex likes and dislikes. He loves many things, but as an inverse despises those who cannot enjoy, or even abuse them. He feels an affinity to the things he loves, and seems to want to protect their integrity. On a related key, along with finding great happiness in making his own clothes and performing, he much more enjoys the works of others, from which he can learn and grow, and know that he's not the only one who does what he does.


He would love to have friends, he really would. But ever since his younger years he's had an extreme case of confrontational anxiety, stemming from being bullied and picked on. Because of this he idly dreams of talking to someone naturally, but gets tongue-tied and distracted when someone talks to him personally. Whenever this happens he starts feeling bad, wondering why he can't just be normal, a person without an act or mask on. He feels like his whole life is an act. And as an artist, he is always compelled to create when feeling strong emotion. It helps calm his nerves, but doesn't truly do anything. Eventually he breaks down, cries himself to sleep, and repeats.
In short, while he has the potential to be a good friend, he hasn't had the chance to really open up to anyone.

A notable quirk is his short temper for people who are little more than hell-raisers. He knows he shouldn't bother with them, but the mere fact that they want a negative reaction from him makes him feel sour.
He holds near-perpetual anxiety for the things he makes and the people he affects. If he thinks he's hurt someone or wronged them, it will keep him up late at night.
If asked what his compelling theme was, the most simple answer would be to live each day to its own individual extent, content with whatever comes his way as long as, after the sun goes down on that particular chapter, there's at least a silver lining.

He is extremely partial to small, cute things, like a Joltik or a crabapple. Along with that, he likes soft textures and cool weather, handling iciness better than a sweltering day. His favorite snackfood is popsicles, though, which do not exactly fit cold days, but if offered one he'll eat anyhow it and regret it later. Brr.
He also likes candies and other sweets, and really hates savory or bitter foods. Following that theme, he'd like everything to be happy-- Even if artificial.


History: August grew up in a difficult family situation. His father had been previously married, and the age between his parents was already lopsided enough without the experience lapse between them too. There were only a few years he can remember when they were together, though, and things calmed down considerably once his father left. During the tumult he was little more than a toddler, but he still felt the difference between his family and all the other children's families he knew of. He often tried to get his parents to make up with eachother, and they acted like it helped for his innocence.


After his father left he was sent to kindergarten, where he first developed a liking for arts and crafts, since he was a lot better at it as his fingers weren't very pudgy like the other boys'.
Through his schooling years he eventually developed a better feel for what he liked to do, the native resources spurning what eventually became his skill in making clothes, though he did a bit of feeling around first. He had a good friend who used to act in a theater troupe who taught him about stage presence, and helped him refine his general act, including the facepaint. His name was "Jolly" Todd, and they often communicate still, Todd being one of the only people that August could fully relate to.


However, growing up was pretty hard. He was often picked on by short-sighted bullies, who thought that he was a girly-boy, (which is true) and expressed it loudly. He didn't care about their opinions of him, but he did care about what nicer people thought. One day he even yelled at the mean children, defending himself. This, sadly and predictably, quickly made the people he didn't mind distance themselves from him because of his boldness about his quirks. Ultimately, he ended up having a pretty secluded elementary school life, that ended up helping more than hurting; It taught him how not to act and how to take other people's feelings into account. Along with that, though, was possibly the first seeds of realizing he wasn't really like the boys, not exactly. Later on, after finishing elementary school and realizing that was an actual option, he started dressing less traditionally and more androgynously, different depending on his mood.
If he had had a friend he might be a more open person, but as it is he doesn't exactly make friends very easily anymore.


After his first years of school, he wisely decided he really good at anything they were teaching him. Sure, he could pass the tests when they were given, and know the answers to the questions, but that was about it. He far more enjoyed the prospects of a performing actor, or a professional seamster or seamstress. He brought the idea up with his mother, and she supported it. She has always been a pretty lax woman in terms of what is technically best, better caring about learning a lesson or being happy.
His pokemon was a specific choice of his when asked if he wanted one of his own, since he would be leaving home- a Zubat, because they were the ones he knew best, often waking up to a dead one on his lap and a very smug family Persian. He enjoyed the irony of it, and genuinely likes the pokemon, someone he can actually talk to (in a slightly one-sided way.)

He grew up with his two sisters and his mother, who never remarried. He also has two half-sisters and a half-brother, of whom he only likes one. He is the eldest of the three children on his mother's (and subsequently his own) side, but their mother works as an engineer so can support them all with a relatively comfortable margin. After obtaining his pokemon, he could leave home with a clean conscience to pursue his art- After, of course, two years of basically just making and selling clothes, which Todd had told him would be wise, considering he generally just gave away the things he made. Only then did he leave his hometown, to find a teacher or a mentor, for tailoring or for acting.

His favorite sibling is his sister just below him, Jean, though more because she wasn't a gross little toddler like Ethel had been for his earlier memories. Their relationship was mostly him making her puppets and little costumes and dresses for her to play with, and them laughing together at their antics with the props. Throughout, their father's friend Todd was influencing all three children to aim for a more artistic lifestyle, buying them things like scripts for a simple play, or a drawing pad with a wooden artist's doll. This was invaluable to both children that could understand, because even a little bit of art can shape a life for the better. Ethel, the youngest, just thought Todd was a very silly man.

As for his half-siblings, they only ever visited because the children liked eachother so much. They were a bit older, but none of the children minded, because they were fun and quirky like themselves. The oldest of them is the only boy, Simon, then Lucy and youngest Lydia. August especially enjoyed Lydia's company, and they send letters to eachother often via her flying-type pokemon.
For the most part, those carrier birds were the only domestic pokemon he ever saw, besides the family Persian. This meant that he came home with a pokemon he hardly knew anything about, besides some stuff he'd picked up on in school. Eventually, though, trial and error taught him most of the pitfalls in training, but he still isn't very competitive about it at all.

Hey Tlo! Because you listed this as a WIP, I will be moving this to "Incomplete Characters" for the time being!

All you need to do in order to alert us and move this back to "Character Applications" is to tell us when you are done. Please post a reply when you feel you are ready and we can get down to the nitty gritty. ♥

Hey Tlo, welcome to Godai! Well done with August, I like him! Let's get on with what needs to be done ^^

His Personality is brilliant! Could you perhaps add some more of his immediate likes and dislikes? Maybe even talk about some of his greatest fears.

His History is pretty good too. However, it doesn't tell me a great deal about him. The history is a great part to put his traits from his Personality into perspective and show how they came around and how they shaped his history. For example, show how he loves and thinks about nature, show how he had a short temper for certain people. That said, don't feel the need to show us about every single trait, but show us how some of his personality came into effect through his history.

Well done, the Pokemon section is absolutely spot on!

Thanks for the patience, I look forwards to seeing August in Godai soon! Feel free to PM myself or ask any questions here or in the chat if you're stuck with anything I've said, and we can help you out as best as we can ^^

Hey tlo! So I wanna start off by welcoming you to this fantastic site of ours. What you have is great already. Much better than my first attempt. Its my job to help polish this gem of yours so let's begin!

>Delete the nickname section entirely since you don't have one
>For the height don't forget the (") so, it should be 5'7"

>Add a little more on their Winter Attire please, since it's quite chilly in Godai right now

>For your General appearance, describe August's skin color, face shape, facial features, body type. Other details that aren't covered in the eyes/hair color should be described here.

>Now for your Personality. On a side note, August totally shares my personality and I love how you describe it, but this also gives me more room to be nitpicky.

First of all, your sentence structure here should be revisited. There are also multiple typos and read the sentences out loud. Just because of the word order, some sentences become hard to follow. And please space out your paragraphs to make your profile more presentable.

Now. Describe how August approaches other people and his relationships with them. How does he act in front of others or react to others on a normal basis? You stated he was not an obvious or "extreme" extrovert introvert. This must mean he likes to have company and what kind of company does he keep?

Describe how August copes with his negative energy. Does he bottle it up or does he explode irrationally? What are August's fears? Is the future one of them? How does he cope with these fears? Why does he fear these things?

I am in love with how you describe August's likes. I would just like to see a little more elaboration on what I stated above.


>As for your History, there are stretches in time where you skimmed over August's development. How did life at home, with no father affect August's development? What ultimately led to August recognizing his bigender identity? As for becoming a trainer, how integrated were pokemon in August's life growing up? Describe his relationship with his siblings and how this formed him. There is also a gap after August's elementary school years (which ends at age 12) up to him now (age 15). How did he spend his time after school and what caused August to start on his pokemon journey? Or at the bare minimum, what influenced him to leave home?



Alrighty so, that's all I have to ask. Everything else is well-thought out. Just remember to space your paragraphs properly and take a little more time to edit and iron out any grammar/spelling mistakes here and there. I am proud of what you've written (you should be too) and you'll be receiving your second approval soon!

Can't wait to see how August lives his adventure here on Godai. :D
