Name: Knox Tyran
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Appearance:
Knox stands fairly short at five foot four inches tall and an over all slight build, made wiry from traveling. His eyes are an unremarkable brown that often seem to stare at something beyond whatever it is he's looking at and usually tend to be filled with a distant cold. His hair is the usual untidy midlength mess typical of a young boy, particularly a trainer, and is chestnut brown with peculiar white highlights.
His typical garb consists of hiking boots, olive green fatigues and a mustard yellow t-shirt, over which he usually wears a dark green modified fishing vest with numerous pockets which he uses to hold a number of his items for easy access rather than repeatedly messing around with a backpack, although he does carry one as well, containing items he's less likely to need in a hurry, such as a camping tent, food stuffs and some extra clothing.
Personality:
Knox is a being who places rationality above passion, and can come across as cold, uncaring and distant, showing little tolerance for those who easily get caught up in the heat of the moment, jump to conclusions or do things for what he might consider a stupid reason. To make things even more difficult, Knox is both very analytical and critical, which while useful for things such as strategy and training pokemon, is not usually a desirable trait when it comes to communicating with others. The truth is though that Knox isn't really trying to be cruel and would gladly help someone out if asked, he just doesn't understand the concept of “if you don't have anything nice to say...” and is just very blunt. Fortunately he's able to better relate to his pokemon, and is able to quickly come to an understanding with them, all though to someone not familiar with him and his training methods it might seem as though he's a ruthless task master. Which isn't far from the truth. Knox expects success out of both himself and any pokemon he decides is worth the trouble of capturing and training, but can be compassionate and understanding when it comes to his teams needs and he'd always willing to make a personal sacrifice for any one of his pokemon.
History:
Knox is a late starter to the lifestyle of a pokemon trainer, mostly on account of the fact that most of the trainers he'd encountered were inept battle-mongers. But between reading excessively about pokemon, both in books and on the computer, and watching every televised pokemon battle he could, Knox finally decided to leave home and give it a try, with much encouragement from his father, whom he lived with up until his journey.
His mother was a trainer who specialized in psychic, ghost and dark type pokemon and was always off on some sort of adventure, valuing her career as a trainer much more than her role as a mother. Eventually this lead to her and Knox father, a simple store owner, having a divorce. She disappeared some time later and has yet to be heard from. Knox is rather reluctant to explore his feelings on the matter and frankly could care less about the womans well being, but at the same time a fear haunts him that maybe he's going down the same path.
