Astin Smith

[wingsonmyheels]

Name:
Astin Smith
Age:
16

Gender:
Male

Trainer Type:
Exotic Trainer, Astin wants to catch the rarest pokemon, in the most isolated areas. He feels that those expierences will push him to the next level, he'll be able to defeat whoever he wants, and make a name for himself.

Hometown:
Olivine City

Appearance:
Standing at 5'8, Astin is small in stature, weighing in at only 130 pounds. He's full of lean muscle, probably from all that running he loves to do. Caucasion, maybe his only remarkable feature are his gray eyes. Dark brown hair, there's an unusual cow lick on the front of his head that gives his hair a spiked look that other guys could only get from gelling their hair. It suits him well and gives him this clean shaven look that makes him look younger than he is. He really likes it, and he thinks it goes with the other traits he has like his long eye lashes that he gets from his mother, his Dad's strong jaw, a widows peak and a lack of facial hair or side burns all promotes the appearence.

Astin is a big believer in presenting oneself and he's developed his own style that he's ready to take on his journey. He likes to seriously underdress in cold weather, and rain because he loves the feeling of the elements and lugging stuff around. So while the over prepared trainer will be wearing a heavy duty coat, Astin will be in just a light jacket. What he does wear though is always top quality, and he totally misteats it. It's his way of telling the world that he's not a tool for the people, and he does this by tearing polo shirts at the shoulders, and staining kaki shorts, and getting totally freezing in both of them.

Personality:
There are a few core points in Astin's personality that are constants. He's someone that has many pet peeves, and very little patience, and he never hesitates to call someone out on it. Hence the get in your face attitude towards other guys. Once trash talking is declared an official sport, Astin is going to be tough to beat because of his quick wit, high IQ, and unusual perspective.

Astin is a secret hipster, he does the opposit of whatever is the expected. How he dresses is supposed to piss off other hipsters who want to piss off other people the way they do, and still piss off the people that wear the brands he desecrates. He changes his views and opinions if anybody shares them.

Towards girls he's a different person though, his harsh personality softens, and becomes almost gentle. He's never actually been in a relationship because he knows he couldn't handle one, but he's secretly a romantic and wants to find the right girl. He likes to break the ice by making jokes about himself, he is very sympathetic, and the . Don't let all of it fool though, he's still a teenage guy and is the proud owner of more than a few dirty jokes and is kind of a horn dog in general.

Another core part of Astin's personality is his need for movment. He's scared of comittment, he can't sit still because he loves to run, and he always has to be going somewhere. He has always wanted to travel and experience knew things. The work he'll put into going somewhere when he wants to is amazing, yet when doing somthing for someone else, most of the time it's a half assed job. It's almost like he saves up all his concentration for himself.

History:
Astin's mother was a breeder/ researcher in Hoen, who got moved abroad to study the pokemon around the Johto city Olivine. She took a boat there and noticed that one of the sailors had an unusual, and strong pokemon. She struck up a conversation. This sailor turned out to be Astin's dad. They immediatly fell in love and when they landed in Olivine Astin's dad quit his job and lived with his new girlfreind.

With the help from Astins Mom's breeding skills, his dad challanged the local gym leader and won, even going to the nearby Cianwood City and beating that gym leader. He considered leaving and challanging all the other gyms but he couldn't leave Astin's mom who was now pregnants, so he proposed and used the money he won from the gym battles to go home to Hoen to meet each others families and have the kid, and the rest of it to start a buisness. Apparently, it was all very romantic.

His Dad became what he called an evaluater, he was paid to evaluate pokemons stats and tell trainers what to work on, and how to improve. Astin's mom's breeder knowledge expanded buisness, and Astins's older sister joined the company too. But he and his Dad always knew that he was destined to be a trianer. His Dad started teaching him trainer knowledge very young.

The other kids in school always noticed and liked the Hoen accent that Astin had. That was when he realized how much he liked being different. He started rebelling from his Dad because he wouldn't let him start his journey till he was 16 when he was 13, but he always respected him. Especially after he watched him battle, even though he'd only ever seen that twice. His Dad had an Ursaring, an Oddish, and a Seaking, and the two times that he battled he never had a single one of those 3 get knocked out.

Goals:
Beat all 8 badges, have a team no one else has, and his own unique battle style, become a house hold name.
