Name: Jason Barnes
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: Just your regular old Pokemon trainer, Jason is not the person to show off really so being a Coordinator wouldn't really be him so opted to go down the regular old path of an average trainer.
Hometown: Snowpoint City, Sinnoh
Appearance: Jason is somewhat average in terms of shape, he stands at 6'1" tall and a sort of an athletic build. He has long, semi-kempt hair that is dyed black and falls roughly halfway down his back. His hair has a faint shine to it and is not extremely messy due to his daily washing and brushing of his hair. He doesn't really style it in any way, just lets it flow down naturally, he'll usually tuck it behind his ears or put it in a loose ponytail when concentrating on something. He has a sort of egg shaped face with a short, scruffy beard covering his jaw line that never really trims due to his inability to use a razor. He has nice blueish gray eyes, and a pale skin color.
Clothing wise, Jason has no desire to fit in with a crowd so just goes with some regular jeans, and usually a plain black t-shirt. Over that he usually wears a worn denim jacket that had cut the sleeves off of so is now a sort of vest that Jason has placed assorted patches of musical groups he likes. In the colder months, he substitutes the t-shirts for longer sleeved ones, and a untarnished Denim jacket with a wool lining inside. Upon his neck is a small piece of oak with the Raidho rune burned into it, on a thick brown leather necklace that he made himself and rarely takes it off. Jason doesn't care much for shoes so just buys the cheapest pair of black tennis shoes he can buy or some work boots for colder times.
Personality: Jason is a generally shy, slow, layed back kind of person given his upbringing. Due to a tramatic experience he had in the past made him a little jumpy, say someone sneaks up behind him and shouts "BOO!" he would freak out. Usually you'd find him outside of a crowd wandering around thinking about his future among some other things. Rarely does he talk to anybody fearing he'll be put down by hipsters because of his image or by chance they recognise his face. He does enjoy company though if someone is lucky enough to get under his skin and is glad to talk to anyone who is willing to speak to him. He really tries to be a nice person to people he is familiar with, however he is short tempered, lazy, and stubborn at times.
Jason loves to be outside, especially in the wintertime since no one usually spends very long out then, he's fairly fond of the peace and quietness of the outdoors when covered in a blanket of snow and frost since it seems to muffle alot of noise out letting himself relax a little bit. He's a bit of a music freak and likes to think musicly, sometimes tapping on certain objects like a vase and trying to figure out what note he hears. Secondly he's a hobby musician/guitarist but rarely plays if at all these days due to his dedication to travel and not wanting to lug around a big bulky instrument around on his back among other more important things.
He was never very fond of blending in with a crowd so has a tendency to avoid things that are 'cool' or hip' within society. Often turning down or downright refusing to be involved with anything or anyone he views as 'too trendy' which might make some people not like him. Jason is slightly selfconcious of his appearence and often tries to keep his long hair washed and clean so tries to wash it every day if he can. Other then that he's not too keen on his appearence often not changing clothes for a day or two before exchanging for some clean clothes.
History:
Jason grew up in a small little cottage outside Snowpoint City in Sinnoh with his parents and his older brother David. His mother was a former trainer later coordinator, his father was a musician and from a young age began to teach Jason Piano and later on his 8th birthday bought him a guitar. Jason loved that thing and would spend hours on end plunking away on the little nylon stringed instrument since he never had anything else to do with his free time exept for study.
Jason never recieved a formal education from a brick and mortar school unlike his older brother David. Instead his parents decided to teach little Jason themselves from the safety of their own home. Jason was an excelent student, he was fairly well organized, he learned quickly, and didn't have too many problems with anything. His brother was not too much different from him. A child prodigy on the piano, an honor roll student that everyone idolized. David was the epitome of cool to everyone at his school, everyone wanted to be his friend and he didn't mind at all, it was the norm for him. His bright mind and talent allowed him to graduate school early and his popularity continued to grow from there.
Jason never was very jealous of his brother untill around the age of 14, when he began to suspect that David was being babied by his parents and was the underdog of the family. Upon some further research he found these to be true. A journal entry from his mother about how proud she was of her son David and how little she thought of Jason despite the fact that he was just as good as he was. Jason was furious, but kept it low profile but it grew hard. His academic preformances began to dwindle as his relationship with is parents was on thin ice before he quit all together and his parents disowned him.
He had no one left to turn to since he literally didn't have any other family or friends what so ever so spent a few weeks in alleys huddling on the ground in his winter coat for warmth hoping he would wake to see tomorrow every night. Eventually a small ad posted on a bullitin board for a guitarist in a metal band. Jason was desperate to get off the streets somehow and met up with these guys who essentially took him under their wing and gave him shelter and gave him the psudonym, Mort. After scraping enough money to buy Jason a cheap electric guitar and a decent amp, they began to take their place as a big act in a small musical scene around the region. Jason felt he had found a sanctuary in his life, he loved the energy and raw power the music he played gave him even though they barely got payed a dime but he didn't care. He was making a name for himself in a world that had sort of forsaken him.
However, it wasn't all music. Soon enough Jason found himself being involved in some small crimes such as stealing from and vandalizing various religious buildings and monuments as the small music scene sort of became a gang of some sort. His band slowly began to drift apart as his fellow band members started to become depressed and increasingly dependant on substances to get through the day. One particular day he returned to his friends appartment find his friend had gone insane and shaved his head and trashed the place. He was weilding a shotgun and threatened to shoot Jason with it. Jason attempted to reason to with him which seemed to work before his friend but the barrel to his mouth and pulled the trigger.
The sight of his friend take his own life in a fit of insanity lay burned in his head and could hardly eat, or go to sleep at night as he could never get it off his mind. It eventually became so bad that he almost began to comtemplate suicide but knew that wasn't the answer and decided from that point on to forget about his band and anything about it and try to start his life over again. He began to read about Pokemon training with interest and decided that was what he wanted to do from that point onward.
Goals:
Jason's ultimate goal right now is to become proficient in his chosen profession. He has no desire to be the best, he knows he never will be the best but wishes to make the most of his time as a trainer count as much as he can before he retires and settles down somewhere. His social life is somewhat of a secondary thing, if by chance he can find a female who can accept him for who he is would be all the better to him.
Other Info: Nothing.
