Name: James Johnathan Ford
(Just James is fine)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Hometown: Sylvanport
Appearance: A respectable 5’5”. Slim with a slight build. Short, straight black hair and grey eyes. Light tan skin tone. A slightly faded scare that runs horizontally along the middle of his back due to a falling accident while he was 12 years old climbing trees. He favors wearing dark blue jeans, grey shirts, and running shoes. He can always be seen wearing his thin, dark green windbreaker hoody as he always forgets to bring an umbrella when it rains and never remembers to check the weather. He proudly wears his father's Dawn Stone pendent around his neck, though mostly as a memento as it is just a fragment and could never be used more evolutionary purposes.
Personality:
James is a fairly easy-going guy at first glance. He tends to not takes things too seriously and prefers to avoid conflict when he can. But behind that friendly face is an unquenchable thirst for the mysterious and the unknown coupled with a drive that tends to get him into more trouble than its worth. He loves to stick his nose into places that he might not necessarily be allowed to look into to. Though, he tends to have a better hold on that curiosity of his when it comes to those that he love's and respects.
While he tends to be outgoing, he would much rather explore or read than go to a party. It’s almost hard for him to sit still unless something grabs his attention or appeals to his interests. While he can definitely say that his eyes and nose are his strong points to solving problems, his downfall is his patients as he often runs along head first without much thought when he’s exited and often leaves his friends behind before they even have time to react. When he’s not focused or obsessed with something, he prefers to conserve his energy and take his time doing things.
History:
James grew up with a passion for exploring that always seemed to get him into trouble. Being the middle child of his two other brothers, he often saw the inevitability of his parents not being able to pay much attention to him more of an opportunity to sneak off rather than being ignored. He often took more of his fathers love for exploring and curiosity compared to his other brothers, while his older brother, Keith, leaned more to helping and protecting others and his younger brother, Drew, taking more of their mother’s friendly and caring nature. Keith would often get after him and end up bailing him out of dangerous situations but was able to instill some sense of self preservation whenever they went outside to play. James’ father loved traveling and camping near Gladegloom Forest as the sense of mystery and the unknown seemed to draw him towards the forest quiet often. James’ family would even spend a couple days off just to experience the atmosphere there and would use that as a perfect opportunity to bond with his kids.
Though one day, that curiosity unfortunately got the best of James’ dad as when he decided to spend a few days to camp there by himself, he disappeared just like the others who have gone exploring the depths of that forest. Coincidently, the report of James’ missing father was also the same time that Pokemon suddenly started appearing again. James didn’t care though, as all he cared was going back to Gladegloom Forest and finding his father but his mother, with the help of his older brother stopped all of his attempts of sneaking away to go find his father off on his own. Guilt consumed him as the last couple of weeks both James and his dad had not been seeing eye to eye and had even been getting into arguments about James’ safety and his education as he has been often skipping school to go hang out with his friends and wander route 17. Because of the bad reputation and stigma of Gladegloom Forest, many people would refuse conducting a search and rescue operation despite James’ plea and insistence. But in the end it was Keith that was able to find someone willing to go find him. Keith had a close friend that was a Lab Researcher and with his help, Keith, his friend, and along with some other lab assistances went on a quick expedition to find their missing father. But what they returned with wasn’t their father, but his Dawn Stone pendent, along with his worn camo vest with a mysterious Pokeball inside it.
Knowing that James would eventually find a way to sneak off on his own, he made a deal with James much to James’ surprise. James promised that he would be a Pokemon Trainer if he wanted to go find their missing father, much to their mother’s dismay. The catch was that James had to prove that he could be strong and capable enough on his own as a Pokemon Trainer if he wanted to go in Gladegloom Forest and find their dad. Never being more serious in his entire life, James promised and sent out to be the strongest Pokemon Trainer, not only for him or his brother, but for his dad’s sake. Now, he sets off to Mistveil city, with his father's pendent worn proudly on his neck to retrieve his first ever Pokemon, the one found with his father's belongings.
