Trainer Profile

Character Name: Desmond Halfenton

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Trainer Class: Swimmer

Height: 5' 10''

Weight: 165 pounds

Hair Color & Style: Desmond has shoulder length dark blond hair which has a slight curl to it.

Eyes: 'Piercing' Bright blue eyes

Clothing/Accessories: Desmond wears a light blue and pale pink checked shirt with a navy blue jacket over the top. He wears Khaki coloured swimming shorts with what look like transfers of faded shells all over them. He also has a bracelet made from small sea shells with a Carvanha charm attached to it.

General Appearance: Desmond is a very laid back guy, he an always be seen with a smile on his face. He is very broad for his age and he has a defined physique. He has a scar on his left arm from when he was attacked by a Sharpedo as a child.


Hometown: Shiroshore City, South Godai

Personality: Desmond is a very relaxed guy who always greets his friends with a hug and a smile. he is very calm and collected and will always try to think logically and rationally about a situation. He is also very sociable, always spending time and money on his friends.

He is fiercely loyal to both his friends and his Pokemon. If his friends are ever in danger, he would drop everything to see if they were okay and would always put himself in the way of danger.

It takes a lot for Desmond to become angry and very few of his friends have ever seen him that way, however, those that have say that they are scared of him as he goes into a blind rage, attacking everyone and everything around him (except his pokemon). after one of these outburst, the best way he relaxes is by swimming in the sea with his pokemon for hours until he is ready to talk to his friends again.

History: One of Desmond’s first memories was watching his dad swim effortlessly through the crystal blue ocean that encircles the majority of Shiroshore city. In his prime his dad was one of the best swimmers in the city, winning many trophies and awards. This inspired Desmond to become a swimmer, just like his father.

On Desmond’s 8th birthday his dad took him into the ocean for the first time. They spent hours splashing each other and playing with the other swimmers. Desmond knew, even at such a young age, that this was where he belonged.

Over the next five years his father taught him all about the ocean and its inhabitants, showed him all the different Pokémon that swam around the bay where they lived and taught him how to swim. By the time Desmond reached his 13th birthday he was able to swim just as well as his dad and to show how proud he was of his son he gave him a bracelet that he had made from shells that he found in the bay and a piece of wood crudely carved into the shape of a Carvanha. He treasured this bracelet and would wear it every time he and his father went swimming.

A few days before his 15th birthday, Desmond and his dad had gone out for their regular swim before their evening meal. They had swum out into the middle of the bay and were racing each other to get home. From the start of the race Desmond knew he was in front of his dad but he thought that his dad was letting him win, however, moments later he started to hear screaming from behind him. He turned around and saw that his dad was being attacked by a rogue Sharpedo. He immediately swam back and started trying to fend it off his father, however, whilst trying to protect his dad, the Sharpedo bit directly into his left arm and took a chunk of flesh out of it.

He eventually fought off the rogue Sharpedo and pulled his dad to the shore were he rushed to get him some medical help. His dad had survived the attack; however it damaged both of his legs, so he would never be able to swim professionally again.

A few weeks later, Desmond and his dad were walking along the bay, talking about what had happened to him when he spotted a Carvanha flailing lifelessly near the edge of the sea. Desmond was cautious about going near it, however his dad forced him to help it, saying “you can’t let it die, all creatures deserve to live.” Desmond picked up its limp body and rushed it back home where they had enough medicine to keep it alive.

Over the coming weeks Desmond cared for the Carvanha, regularly taking her down to the bay and swimming with her. He got used to the feel of Carvanha’s rough skin and even named her Snappy after her ferocious bite. They became very close. When it was time for the Snappy to return to the wild, Desmond refused to let it go, he had never had a proper friend before. He decided to invest in a pokeball for Snappy so that he could keep her forever.

On his 17th birthday, Desmond decided to leave home so that he would be able to help other Pokémon that needed it. He said goodbye to his dad and all his friends in Shiroshore City and left to journey around Godai with his trusted Snappy and his precious bracelet.

Wow! This is really great! In all honesty the only things I can see that are "Wrong" with it are just tiny little nuances that I can't really prevent accepting you for.

Things like "Around 160" probably should be a specific number, if not 160 exactly.

I almost might want to know about Desmond's mother's roll in his life more, since the history focused mainly on his dad. And maybe about his school life. You mentioned him not having a proper friend before Snappy, but perhaps there's more to it than that?

But those are little things, I love him and can't wait to see him in action~

Actually, I did forget this one detail. I don't think it'd be possible for an average teenaged boy to fight off a mob of Sharpedo while they're in water. If they feel strong enough to attack a human, they're probably high level, and pokemon typically have a pack mentality when they're in the wild so fighting them all at once without a pokemon is a little unbelievable.

One sharpedo might be fine, but a swarm is a bit much.

Even so, you shouldn't be nervous at all~ you're very naturally talented~ I'm very glad my words made you feel so at ease~

Yeah that does make sense!
It has been changed.
