Name: Callum Gray
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: Game Freak
Hometown: Verdanturf
Appearance: When first meeting Callum he is easily recognizable by his wavy red hair that never quite looks like it was combed. The second thing that is noticed are the glasses that rest upon the bridge of his nose and often need to be pushed up because they don't fit quite right. Behind those glasses one would notice eyes that are hazel with a touch of blue. He stands at a height of 5'8" and is rather thin in body type, not sporting many muscles to speak of. What he lacks in the muscle department however he would like to say he makes up in being quite quick. His skin itself is quite pale considering that most of his life has been spent indoors due to his gaming addiction that he hasn't given up even after leaving home.
If someone were to ask about his sense of fashion he would mention that whatever is the most comfortable is the best decision. For Callum this is his green jacket that has a few patches that have been sown back on from various wear and tear. There are also noticeable patches of dirt that seem to stick to the seems no matter how many times it is washed. Other than his jacked he makes a point of having new clothing as long as it again is comfortable to wear between gaming and his new journey away from home. It may seem that his favorite color when choosing outfits is green which matches the jacket that he often wears. When that jacket does come off most likely underneath is a various t-shirt and sweatpants.
Personality: Outside of gaming, Callum has no friends, not even in school. He has a small online group that he plays with, and only that group, whom he is very loyal to. In school, he was the one kid that sat by himself, slept in half of his classes, and somehow got good grades. If he were to have any friends in school, it would be the teachers and the cafeteria lady. He is a loner that is often quiet unless spoken to first, and even then, who would talk to him. But once you do speak to him, you are basically friends forever. Some of his gaming friends, are from when he first started playing online. He is a quick thinker, and has a very good fight or flight response, the response being to run away most often. However, he would not run away if a friend was in trouble. He would skittishly stand in front of his friends to protect them. Callum would be more interested in collecting Pokemon, than battling with them against the gym leaders, but still would enjoy the idea of the challenge. To him, defeating a gym leader would give him the same thrill of defeating a boss in his game.
History: Callum's father was a miner that helped dig the tunnel between Verdanturf town and Rustburo City. His mother owns a popular flower shop in town. His father was often away, helping discover caves, ruins, and fossils throughout the Hoen Region. When he was home however, he was a loving father, and brought gifts back home from his adventures, and told his son stories. The gifts would often be fossils, stones, and various other rare finds, that he was allowed to keep.
At the age of eight, he lost his father due to a mining accident in Shoal Cave when it suddenly flooded. They managed to recover his body and his father's infamous jacket that he always wore. Callum now wears that jacket despite how dirty it always looks, since that is all that he has left of his father. Since his father's passing, Callum decided to stay indoors out of fear. Eventually he picked up a gaming hobby. His gaming hobby soon became an addiction, causing him frequently miss school. His mother would often scold him, but still enable his hobby by purchasing him games on special occasions. She did this because she didn't know what else to do. He was too afraid to step outside, except when she required help at the flower shop.
Eventually his mom had enough of him staying indoors and told him to embark on a journey to see the world, to get outside, and make friends. Of course he resisted until his mother threatened to sell all of his games. They eventually compromised and he would bring a hand held, and if things got too dangerous he could come home. However, Callum is smart enough to quit halfway, so she sent him away to Johto with a pre-purchased optional return home date. Being that far away from home is a culture shock to him. He barely left Verdanturf Town, only taking summer trips to the beach in Slateport. He was also used to the clean air back home and being in any other city or town smelled weird to him. Since he was that far from home his mother did worry a little, only because he stayed indoors way to much. She often called him just to see how things were going.
Goals:
Callum's Goal is to get the journey over with quickly so he can go back home to his video games. His mother wants him to make friends.
