Name: Martin Roth
Dislikes his surname and goes to a great deal of lengths not to use it. Will use a fake surname if necessary, otherwise just goes by Martin. (Fake surname examples: Growth*, (the) Ruffian, Jackson, Rackham)
Age: 25 years, but looks more like he is in his mid-thirtieths.
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: Aiming to be a gardener and therefore mostly focused on Grass type Pokemon.
Hometown: Camphrier Town in the Kalos region, connected to route 6(Parfum Palace) and 7(Connecting Cave to Cyllage Town, horde of Hoppips, Berry Farm, and Daycare)
Appearance:
Martin is tall and gangly with a height of 185 cm, and a weight of 80 kg. He slouches in the shoulders in an unconscious effort to stand less out. He has short, dusty blonde hair that tends to spike a little around the ears, though it’s completely straight and pretty thin. His eyes are a faint blue and surrounded by slowly forming crow’s feet. His nose goes straight down, and his mouth is wide with thin lips. All in all his face is long and thin with marked cheekbones, but it’s the eyes you remember, whether they burn in anger or are alight with charm.
Martin wears sensible clothes. There’s no other word for it. Anything that fits his frame and doesn’t stand out in colour, most likely green, brown and black, and made of solid materials, that doesn’t tear easy. He prefers his clothes with many and big pockets (seen or hidden), so he can carry his tools with him for easy access. His tools entail* but isn’t limited to garden tools like scissors, lineal, pencil, and string. He usually wears a dark green cap as protection against harsher weather, such as strong sunlight, rain and hail.
Personality:
Martin is a down-to-business sort of guy that knows his goals and doesn’t care how he gets there, if only he succeeds. He has very few, if any emotional attachments in the world, and his mindset is therefore purely egocentric. Every action he takes is considered and always with a profit for himself in mind. He carries a great deal of disrespect towards people in general and authorities specifically, but very rarely shows this, as he tends to charm his way through interactions with strangers. Pokemon he considers tools, that can help him along the way, and he will treat them strictly or according to his needs. Anything that turns out to be a hindrance, risks getting a taste of his more malicious side, and he will try to ‘hit them’ where it hurts the most.
Martin follows his own morals and rule set. The law is just a nuisance he has to work around from time to time to stay unnoticed. He is a petty thief with no intentions whatsoever at stopping his practice. However, he does his best to stay out of jail and at the same time make a name for himself by ‘legal’ means. Being called ‘useless’ for most of his life by his own mother, he carries great resentment towards both her and words like it. He does think himself neither useless nor worthless, and wants to prove his worth.
History:
Martin grew up in Kalos in the town of Camphrier. He was raised by a single mom, though the raising part is questionable. The mother didn’t care much for him, only just keeping him fed and dressed. Otherwise she let him roam, and only punished him with restrictions and hard words, when he got into trouble with other people. Martin was a clever boy and a fast learner. He learned not to be found out by other people. His schooling was sporadic, since the teachers couldn’t keep his attention. What he wished to learn about he read up on in the library, and adapted and tried his knowledge out in ‘real life’. When he found himself ahead of all the other pupils and completely bored with the classes, he skipped the school entirely, with the mother none the wiser, or caring for that matter.
Not long after skipping school at the age of 15, he left the home too and traveled to the big city of Lumiose. Here he lived life on the streets, pick-pocketing when in need of cash, and getting into fights or vandalism with other groups of youngsters when looking for entertainment. Though he preferred to be a loner, he didn’t go free of the gang life, as he after a while earned himself a reputation as a cunning thief. He started working for hire, challenging himself by taking on more difficult jobs, and thereby developing his skills. It was when he took a mission for a newly started group, Team Flare, that things went south. The mission went wrong, and suddenly Martin was a wanted man, searched for everywhere in Kalos, though he was and always had been a small fish.
With the bad reputation he had gotten, he decided to flee the region, to simply disappear. He stopped by Camphrier town on his way to a ship in Cyllage town, and said hello to his old mother, who hadn’t seen him in near ten years. Her opinion of the son hadn’t improved in the meantime. She gave him a Hoppip she had caught accidently, and told him to scram along with the equally useless Pokemon. So Martin did, and while Martin travelled to unknown land, he planned and set new goals for himself. He was going to rid himself of his notorious past, and make a completely new life.
Goals:
Other Info:
*The surname Growth is the name Martin tries to use in connection with being a gardener, so he will use it towards potential customers and the sort.
Colour codes: Martin #1994e6 eller #2072a9
If the Hoppip, Purrloin and Gastly egg in Dorthea’s box could be moved to Martin’s team along with his chosen starter, it would be greatly appreciated. I would also like the Sandshrew and Espurr moved to Martin’s own box.
