Appearance:
Bishop stands about five feet nine inches tall and weighs about a hundred forty five pounds. It is clear from his appearance that he probably wont get much taller but will likely fill out his frame with additional muscle once fully grown. His complexion is a bit on the pale side and it's obvious he could stand to be in the sun a bit more. One could assume he spends more time out at night than he does during the day light and it's clear that he needs to use a fair amount of sun screen for day time adventures.
His eyes are a bright green and he has what could be called a curious, penetrating gaze. Obviously intelligent by his manner Bishop misses little and studies everything intently as if afraid he will miss some small detail. His hair is mass of dark black curls which seems all but impossible to manage. With that in mind he typically keeps it cut fairly short but if on the road for a long time it might become quite the mess to deal with. When it starts to get long he has the habit of blowing at it or brushing it aside when it starts to get down on his face a bit.
Though born as a sickly child he has, over the years, recovered and become quite the athletic young man. He has a noticeable amount of energy and drive in his mannerisms as if intent to make up for the lost time from his younger days. As such he is is quite active and displays considerable muscle tone, endurance and dexterity. Though not a professional athlete by any stretch of the imagination he has grown into a physically capable young man.
His general appearance is reasonably handsome and slightly exotic. A little of his old accent from Kalos remains even after all the years in his new home. His clothes tend to be simple and functional rather than anything terribly fancy. Usually he wears jeans, simple tee shirts and a cargo belt with multiple pockets for whatever things he needs to carry. He generally has a smile on his face and appears warm and friendly to others.
Personality: Bishop tends to be rather easy going and friendly though he can be quite the handful if driven to anger. Some of the things that would anger him are people abusing or stealing pokemon and anyone who would torment people less capable than themselves. Bullies and thieves would draw out his tendencies to protect the weak and make them an enemy of his in short order.
Personality wise he is driven primarily by three main traits. First is his insatiable curiosity. He wants to see everything, be everywhere and experience everything he can on his journey. Bishop spent a number of years as a frail, sickly child in Kanto before coming to live with his grandmother in Johto. Now he is determined to make up for lost time now that he is fully healthy.
Secondly is his over blown sense of responsibility. He can't stand to see someone bullied or hurt if he can do something about it. With that in mind he would pick fights with team rocket whenever he runs into them and try to keep them from causing more harm. In a way he knows that his family had to spend a lot of time and energy to take care of him and now he wants to return the favor for anyone who might need it.
Then thirdly is his intellectual drive. While sick he had a lot of time to think, read and study. With that in mind he read a lot about pokemon, tactics for battle, training tips, other regions, etc, etc. It's a habit that sticks with him to this day. He is very bright and tends to think things through. Sometimes though he might over think things and make them more complicate than they need to be.
Probably his greatest failing personality wise would be over confidence. Now deep into puberty and feeling good about himself now that he is fully healthy Bishop has a certain feeling of invincibility common among young men. He can be head strong and get in too deep in a critical situation. And then of course there are the ladies who now draw way too much of his attention. At this age he can easily be distracted by a pretty face or a smooth line and could easily be tricked that way if he isn't careful.
History: Born 16 years ago in Kalos Bishop was the son of a retired traveling trainer and her husband who worked as an engineer in the regions electrical plant. He was born premature and rather small. As a result he was a sickly infant and grew into an equally frail toddler. The doctors said there wasn't much to be done for it and that he would grow into a normal child given time and care. That was slow in coming though so he became shy, introverted and kind of bookish as he continued to grow.
As time passed the family moved to the Johto region when he was ten years old. His grandmother, who lived in New Bark Town, was ill and needed to be taken care of. The family didn't want to move her away from everything she had known all of her life so the decision was made to move there to be closer to her. It was also hoped that the different climate and sea air might prove good for Bishop as well. They bought a small house on the outskirts of town and moved on over. His father found a job there and his mother took care of the grandmother.
As hoped the change in location was quite good for Bishop. He gradually grew more healthy and within a few years there was no sign he had ever been sick at all. He even began to develop a stronger sense of independence and adventure, expressing an interest in going on a journey and being a trainer like his mother before him. He had after all been reading and studying up on everything a young trainer would need to know. He even pestered everyone who would spend any time with him about the ins and outs of an adventuring life. It seemed like a natural thing that as soon as he was able he would hit the road on his own.
First though he felt the need to be responsible and help with his grandmothers care. She too had been a trainer in her day and he learned a lot from her, taking a lot of joy in her stories of the old days. Eventually she passed away and though it was a sad occasion the family consoled themselves with the fact she was no longer in pain. The family was going to return to Kalos but Bishop had other plans. He meant to start his journey as soon as possible and to begin it here Johto. Promising his family he would see them once he had explored everything to be seen here in this land he set out on his own to find his first pokemon partner and his own adventure.
Goals: He really isn't that interested in being the best there is. Bishop wants to be the best he can be, whatever that might be. As such his journey is a mission of discovery to see how strong he can become. Not worrying too much about catching them all he is more interested in honing his skills and exploring everywhere he can possibly get to. He has no preset goal beyond that but will likely find some as he progresses.
