Name: Torque Requm
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: Average trainer aspiring to become a Scientist later in his career
Hometown: Twinleaf
Appearance:
Torque is tall for his age, standing at a impressive six-feet-two-inches in height. His weight on the other hand is a little low, weighing in at only one-hundred and fifty-two pounds. His face is a little long but his facial feature make up for it. His nose is thin but long, his lips also on the thin side. Green pupils set in slightly slanted eyes. Silver hair stands out on his head, being the most notable feature of his body. He has thin, dark eyebrows with long eyelashes which gives his face a streamlined appearance. He has a skull and cross bones tattoo on his right shoulder, and a skeleton shrouded in black robes tattoo on the top of his right hand.
His attire is a green shirt with a gray pokeball symbol on the front, a gray undershirt, black long shorts with green print along the side of it. Green and black shoes are upon his feet while a black beanie rested upon his head. Goggles rest around the beanie within easy access of his eyes in case of the need for them. Finally, a black backpack rested on his back, the strap running from his left shoulder to right hip and then back to the backpack. Black, finger-less gloves cover his hands, along with a gray under-cloth to help them keep warm. He has a blue-green striped scarf in his backpack that he wears when it gets too cold or hard to breath.
Personality: Torque has fashioned himself as a normal human being, though his definition of a "normal" human is not the best. He is plagued by self-doubt when a decision or needed action comes up, and is prone to over-thinking a situation. Torque is kind to those that show kindness to him, but gets offended quite easily and can hold a very long grudge against someone. He is not a people person, but can carry on a conversation with someone when the subject is something he is interested in. Otherwise, he comes off a impatient and inattentive to others thanks to his feigned lack of interest in them.
Torque is usually a cold individual emotion wise, but is prone to emotional outbursts when he harbors strong emotions for too long. Mainly the feelings of anger and sadness. Thanks to his past, Torque does not like growing attached to other people and tends to avoid meaningful relationships. He also has a streak of inflicting harm, mental or physical, on others when he himself is harmed emotionally. On the flip side, he is quite taken back by acts of kindness to him and they will usually take him off guard. Torque also has the habit of seeing plots against him where there is none, and can grow paranoid when the center of attention.
History: Torque grew up in Twinleaf for most of his life, leading a normal childhood. His parents were happy with each other and they had a small house on the outskirts of town. While not rich nor famous, the family was quite happy with their lot in life. At least they had one, until the past of Torque's father caught up with him: On a dark night the family was attacked by a group of thugs who drug the father way before lighting the house on fire. Torque and his mother watched helplessly as their home and love one was taken away from them.
Fast forward a few years: Torque is now a sullen teenager and his mother almost always in a drunken depression. They lived in a hotel room, though Torque was prone to staying away from it days at the time, and were little better than beggars on the street. The mother, in a seeming moment of clarity, signed Torque up for a out-reach program that would allow him to visit pokemon labs across the world. Torque, truly happy for the first time in years, thanked his mother before traveling to a port to climb aboard the ship that would take him on a adventure of a lifetime. Two days in, Torque learned that his mother had committed suicide minutes after he had left the town.
Alone, betrayed, and abandoned, Torque spent the next couple of years traveling from labs to labs even after the program ended. The professors, upon hearing the story of his life, were reluctant to turn the boy away and allowed him to stay at their lab for a while. The time he spent at each lab was different; sometimes he was allowed to stay for a few weeks, sometimes only long enough for the professors to book him transport to a different lab. Torque took a vivid interest in learning about pokemon from the different labs and resolved himself to become a professor one day.
