Trainer Profile

Character Name: Matthew White
Nickname: Matt
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Trainer Class: Trainer

Height: 6'2"
Weight: 210lbs
Hair Color & Style: He has dark brown hair, slightly longer length than 'very short', covering just the tips of his ears with soft waves. He doesn't bother to style it anymore as it isn't practical on a journey, but luckily he still looks good tousled and uncaring, he thinks.
Eyes: He has big dark brown eyes lined with thick dark lashes.
Clothing/Accessories: Matt wears baggy dark jeans and a loose apathetic shirt, either tee or polo. He tries to keep them clean and washed as much as he can but that's not always possible as a trainer.
General Appearance: As Matthew stands at over six foot, he just about fits into the category of 'tall', and happily milks this by arching his back and drawing himself up to his full height whenever he feels threatened. His constant, vain attention to his own body has earned him well-constructed muscles that fill him out to give him an overall solid appearance, and if he catches a pretty gir's eye he will generally mess with his shirt just enough to give them a glimpse of a toned stomach, act as though he hasn't noticed her, and pretend to idly scratch his chest. It is acts like these that have earned him the fond nickname among his peers of 'that douchebag'.

His decently-lengthed unremarkable brown hair has received the same self-obsessed treatment as the rest of him; cut and styled to what he perceives to be the perfect length, sometimes slightly gelled up to give it a mouldable quality - which is why he is constantly running a hand through it, unconsciously - and falling in carefully constructed strands just in front of his dark brown eyes, thickly framed with dark lashes.

Surprisingly, Matt is not particularly fashion conscious, opting for comfortably baggy, worn out dark jeans and a bland old hoodie. Though nobody would like to admit it, this careless style does suit his overall demeanour.

Then there are the things that only a select few have ever noticed: the set of his impassionate, unimpressed expression and perpetual, almost ironic, slight lift of one eyebrow that would escape the attention of most casual onlookers. The tuft of brown hair nearer to the back of his head that never flattens; the small, unobvious scars that litter his arms and legs: tiny pink shapes that tell a story in a language no one other than him can understand.

The final thing to notice (if you were looking, which is unlikely as Matt is the kind of person who warrants no attention on top of that which he gives to himself) is the small tattoo on the palm of his hand. Sketchy and looking almost as though he has done it himself, the symbol for Anarchy, a crimson 'A' in a rough circle, is clearly printed on his left palm. Another bid for attention, or a clue to his enigmatic past?

Hometown: Tiensee Town, South Godai
Personality: As expected after getting an eyeful of Matthew, his personality is expectedly tiresome in the first few moments of meeting. He is arrogant, loud and his machismo grates on men and women alike. Urged on to the Pokémon League by his neverending quest to be some sort of alpha male, Matt's epitomic aspiration is to defeat an old friend of his in a battle of masculinity that Scott does not even know he is a part of. Having spent most of his life as a secondary character, a second thought, or a background prop, in his opinion, this journey is Matthew's way of breaking free; proving to everyone that he can be exactly as powerful and popular as anyone else.

Just like most people with unfortunately hardened characteristics, Matt has a soft spot: a girl, of course. A girl he has been in love with since she spoke to him in the second grade, pretty much. No matter how tough he tries to be; how detached from the outside world and from his own emotions, there is always going to be exactly one person who can manipulate him into absolutely any situation.

This segues nicely into a large section of his character: criminality. Petty thievery from overcharging chain stores escalated into sprinting across car parks from security guards on a regular basis; dealing dodgy substances to dodgier people in alleyways, and generally getting himself into trouble. While he can and will blame society for his moral decline, the true drive behind this essentially attention-seeking behaviour is his honest hatred of everything neat and easy in this world. His life has been a rocky road, full of pain and hardships, and while some part of him feels that he deserves nothing, there is another part of him – the part that controls his fists and his words – that feels he deserves everything he wants. Matthew believes in the demise of society and order, the rise of anarchists, and while his contribution is largely cowardly and selfish, he does his bit to help further the spread of chaos.

This view he has is completely separate from his love of trainer battling, however. Battling is a pure passion of his, and probably the only set of rules that he follows unconsciously and consciously.

A self-proclaimed badass, Matthew really just wants to be noticed…

History: He was raised by a single mother and never knew his father. When his mother got a new boyfriend and they fell pregnant, it was his new stepfather who had the great idea of sending Matt off into the wide world to learn how to not be...him. For fear of being a terrible influence to his unborn baby sister, his mother agreed and he was kicked out.

Matt claims to not mind this so much. He got to start his journey even earlier than he intended. Although he fell in and out with wrong crowd after wrong crowd, with the help of his best friend Scott he is finally clean, happy, on the right track and ready to achieve his ultimate goal - the goal that keeps him up at night with excitement, keeps him smiling and active day in and day out - to travel through the League, overcome Victory Road and defeat the Champion!

But with his tendency for getting sidetracked, obsessed and addicted to every little tiny thing in his path, will he ever make it even anywhere close?

Thanks for this, just a few things to expand and amend before you're set to go along.

For his eyes, if you could describe his brow a little, that would help.

And for clothes, what does he like to wear in more extreme temperatures? when it's too hot for pants or too cold for a tee?

At 6' 2", he's quite above the average height and is definitely tall. The second and third paragraphs of the General appearance should go into eyes and clothing to expand on those. And then if you could include some information about how he moves and his typical body language besides when he's acting vain, that would also be beneficial.

For his personality, try to expand a little bit on his morals and the reasoning behind the arbitrary things. What are his rules for battle? Why exactly does he prefer anarchy to everything else?

Your history is also below our minimum and has a lot of room for expansion. Firstly, why did his father leave? does he even remember it? How did that affect him as a child? What did he think of his mother's boyfriends? How did he do in school? Any notable people or events happen during elementary school? What about Secondary? Who were his friends? Who is that girl? What caused him to structure his world view to be the way it is? How old was he when he was kicked out? Where did he go after that? How did he and Scott meet?

A history should justify a personality, so everything stated in the personality has a source, a lot of the time the source has multiple implications. Maybe he was jealous of the kind of men his mother dated, who stole her attention from him, and that's why he works out and acts like a tool to get the attention of women. Think through that stuff.

Furthermore, some setting information. The Pokemon league is not what you think it is, there is information in the Second post of the Guide to Godai RP about that.

And next, if he's stealing and selling drugs as much as he says he has, he's probably done some Jail time. The Police are more efficient than in our world. Those are minor offenses so it wouldn't be a long time, depending on the number of times he's been convicted, but as it stands, he's probably spent at least 30 days in Jail. More if it's gang related, and even gangs aren't the same as they are in our world, they're no more than 5 people, kids usually, who don't do any real crime.
