Trainer Profile
"Only through desire forged of conviction shall we become whole."
Name: Cassius Alencar
Nickname: Cass & Cassy
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: Dancer
Battle Style: Above all, Cassius values speed and agility. He believes the strength born from it grants his team the edge in battle; with a heightened sense of speed and the perception used to follow it, people and Pokemon alike can overcome certain natural boundaries allowing them to push forward and attain new strength.
Hometown: Lavender Town - Kanto Region
Appearance: First impressions are a valuable tool in modern day society, amongst the ranks of both people and Pokemon alike. Cassius has faced several shortcomings in said department as his general demeanour and dress-sense can come across rather "punk" like. Making him far less approachable than at times, he'd like. On the flip side however, up close Cassius' features are noticeably pleasing. With a well set jaw and prominent cheekbones the young lad has a face full of flavour with enough of it to go around. What a killer!
In terms of actual appearances, Cassius is narrow waisted with somewhat broad shoulders; a toned-all-over body and lightly tanned skin. His eyes are of a deep brown whilst his hair only half matches as the upside of his locks are dyed a deep red. Other notable details are his blazing red eyebrows and a small mole below his right eye.
Body wise, Cass is a rather tall and toned kind of feller. With an ecto-mesomorph definition he's not storing any blubber and has just enough muscle mass to perform his dance moves in good taste. Currently, Cassius is experimenting with Parkour or "Free Running" as it's otherwise known, hoping that the extensive exercise will help him bulk up a little. Being tall and skinny isn't the manliest of looks after-all. At least, he doesn't think so.
Personality: Outwardly coy, sarcastic and at times, rather manipulative. Cassius tends to take advantage of those around him to better situations for himself. Although it may seem somewhat cruel, he never acts maliciously nor puts others in danger... Merely creates opportunities for himself through the misdirection of those around him. Such is to be expected of someone who has found both vanity and a competitive streak. Something Cassius hopes will rub off on his Pokemon.
That being said, Cassius is soft at heart beneath the relatively callous exterior and enjoys making genuine bonds with people. Once said bond has been made and Cass has grown to care for a person, his dedication to them is absolute and indefinite. While Cass values strength and guts a certain amount of conciliation amongst his future team is also a requirement. Being quite the level-headed kind of fellow that he is, Cass isn't too sure he could deal with a truly unruly Pokemon just yet.
For a better understanding of Cassius' personality one should take note of his introvert like qualities that sometimes make an appearance when he finds himself in a particularly pressured social situation. Most of the time however, he is rather socially domineering and will take lead often as he enjoys showing off. Perhaps a little too much.
History: Growing up, Cassius was an introvert like no other; he kept himself to himself at all times and very rarely interacted with anyone outside of his immediate family. This mostly stemmed from how socially awkward the young man could be but also because of the many insecurities that he had harboured within him. Not really being one for image or style, Cass didn't really attract much attention either, a fact that comforted him throughout his early years.
School was a hard time; although Cass came from a comfortable family with steady financial income he often brought his school problems home with him. Compulsory education was a drag like no other for the young man, he buried himself in story books and tales of wonder whilst the other kids went about learning life skills that would later prove invaluable to them. This often lead to a fair amount of teasing and what else could be expected of a child in such a vulnerable state? He would go home and confine himself to his room, often becoming anxious or verbally abusive when his mother or father tried to coax him into explaining what was wrong.
As time passed, Cassius grew bored of computer games and the countless books he had read; with the study of adventures within novels and magazines the lad began to crave his very own, however he had no clue where or how to start, so, in a vain attempt to gain some social awareness, Cass ventured into town and attempted to make a few acquaintances.
Unfortunately, the entire ordeal went disastrously; the first person Cassius encountered being one of the local beauties. In a matter of seconds his cheeks had flushed and stomach dropped, the young one just about made it home in time to barf. This however, did not strangle any future efforts but aided in helping Cassius overcome said fear.
Over the next 8 months Cassius studied dance at his home in Boilspout Town; watching countless hours of videos on the internet and practicing in-front of the mirror he slowly began to master his very own breaking art.
As the moves came so did the confidence to perform, Cass took to the streets and let the music take him to new heights amongst the crowds he had previously feared. There in the depths of social indulgence did his find himself anew.
With his new lease on life found, Cassius grew as a person and began to turn his image around entirely. Before long he had a body to be admired and a face to match after a little grooming and personal effort on his part. The babysteps became leaps as Cassius found himself the center of attention with both males and females as time strolled by, before long he had so much social commitment on his shoulders that the call of solitude felt almost nostalgic.
Naturally, in due course Cassius found himself leaning back into himself a little. Although his cocky attitude and dazzling social charisma remained the young man found solace in alone time too, often creating stories between dance sessions and mapping out adventures in his head.
Noticing the rapid changes that were ongoing in his life, Cassius' mother advised him to seek out a relationship with Pokemon so that he could traverse the lands himself and have his own adventures as opposed to reading about them in books. This sparked the young bucks interest and brought him to the current day.
In possession of his very first Pokemon; an overly energetic Charmander called Limelight, Cassius was finally ready to make his dream a reality.
Goals: Currently, Cass hopes to quench his thirst for adventure; naturally he plans on making new friends on the way and delving deeper into his physical abilities too so that he can return home one day, a fully grown man that has tales to tell and skills to invest.
