Name: Dorcas Fortescue
Age: 21.
Gender: Male.
Trainer Type: Trainer/Breeder/Researcher
Hometown: France, Lyon. See history for how he got to Johto.
Appearance: Dorcas nowadays
Dorcas Fortescue's appearance matches the type of a 21 year old man. He is 5'11" in height and weighs 171 lbs. His hair is blond and of average length(Pokemon world-wise), not too scruffy but still never properly styled. Its uniqueness lies in the front, the fact it covers either one of his eyes, these days more the right one than the left. His eyes are blue, much like the majority of his people. A weird trait about his face is that his eyebrows are not exactly normal, nor are they symmetric: both have spirals on ends, but on opposite ones: his right eyebrow at its end while the left - the start. Lastly, he boasts a goatee beard (without the sideburns) and slight mustache hairs. He would usually be seen with a cigarette in his mouth.
His body is rather slim, but solid. Constant activity during the last two years kept his body in shape, fit. Not too much, but signs of development of muscle mass can be seen upon his bare body. He covers it usually with buttoned, long-sleeved shirts folded to mid forearm level and open to the second highest button, slightly revealing his chest. His pants are black, long and elegant. Two pockets on the front and two on the back, held on his waist with the aid of a zipper and a single button. Dorcas' shoes are black and don't seem to be made for traveling, but rather for special events. He carries his roster Pokeballs using a single strap rounded around one of the belt pants straps.
Personality: Dorcas, posing during his military days
The fact he had gone through military for two years makes Dorcas very proud, and the chances of him bragging about it are quite high. While he used to be flamboyant and highly arrogant, Dorcas nowadays boasts a much calmer attitude, although making fun of his girl's name will trigger some frown. While his confidence, and perhaps pride is still in high levels, he has learned to think before acting and not just rush at things head-on. He does not fear to speak his mind, but not too often will have bad feedback about things. He is judgmental and observant, only to come to conclusions quick and take actions accordingly. It is one of the bad habits he had got himself during his time in military. Some remnants of his old self would definitely be brought up to the surface would he get excited over something, or just be invited to some special party.
Because of his priority of training over breeding, Dorcas tries to make himself a tough trainer, a strict and decisive man. He will stand behind his words and keep his promises would he get to a place where he does make one, but only if it is certain he can accomplish that task: a good soldier knows when to retreat as well. His temper will definitely be triggered upon constant failure and his hastiness is sure to grant him some. Another thing that definitely pisses him off, is if one would make fun of his name: in his much more wild past, he used to beat up those who did. On the other hand, he would be an open person to those who make the first move, or those that catch his interest, often approaching with a friendly smile. If one gets to know him better than on information exchange relationship, he's sure to act in high-spirits around them and feel more open. He needs company too, he can't lead nothing.
History:
Dorcas Fortescue was born in France, Lyon, far away from the more known Pokemon regions. Unique types of Pokemon he grew up with were his closer friends, as tolerating constantly with the other kids of his age group always making fun of his girl name was hard. He grew to be aggressive towards them, often baring his teeth at them (way of speech) before even knowing what would they want from him. Eventually, this became a habit of his he could not stop, even at the later years, not trusting other kids like him too much. He asked his only living parent, his father, why he was named that way, but no clear reason was ever stated. Dorcas had to live with his name as he was, barely tolerating with the kids of his age group. He was labeled different because his name was unusual, that's it. And despite his aggressive nature, still managed to open to those who were stubborn enough to get close to him. With Pokemon, unlike humans, he had no problems at all.
A violent kid he was, albeit intellectual. Dorcas used a lot of his spare time studying about Pokemon so he could one day become a hero, a figure for people to remember. He needed to be a powerful Pokemon trainer, aside for just a powerful man, if he wanted that fame and glory. During his teenager years, however, he found himself dropping this dream aside for life won't smile if he keeps living in illusions: heroes don't exist, if they did he wouldn't be made fun of too much. Dorcas helped his father raise a new family by acting like the good kid he was expected to, stopping the violent outbursts and enduring any insult and just running from every fight. The image he had built for himself as a child helped not at all in this three year process. Only after his father had found a new wife it was when he finally snapped. He simply lost it. Of course, he was taken care of, and when laying on that hospital bed after fainting, he saw he was actually cared for by those of his neighborhood. It wasn't so bad having so many close friends of his kind.
An idea sprouted amongst their little gang of 17 year-olds. If they were all to become soldiers, their lives would be much more interesting, their children would be raised in a better way, they would become more successful as persons. And so they had done: after a year of working to raise money, they all traveled to America - all 11 of the inner circle - in order to enlist as soldiers. They were accepted right away. These two years of discipline, missions, blood sweat and tears, bonds and jokes were two years that would surely serve Dorcas very well as he moves in life.
Eventually, Dorcas decided to stop. He was the first of his inner circle to quit, surprisingly, ending his service during the second year and taking sail to Japan, the Johto Region - where he could start a new swing in life. He decided to live as a carefree trainer, much like the youngsters of said regions.
And now that he had arrived in New Bark through some traveling, it is time to start.
Goals: Unlike other trainers, Dorcas has pretty much been in many Pokemon battles and experienced many events concerning the like. He has not many goals, but wants to learn more about Pokemon as he progresses, as much as possible. He wouldn't say no to going on an unforgotten adventure with his Pokemon, like a few years ago.

Other Info:
- Dorcas' part in his unit was a machine gunner, pretty much straining him in forward combat. For this reason, his changing roster consisted mostly of swift attacking Pokemon such as a Scyther or a Manectric. On the other hand, during ambushes, he was placed behind tankers, like Golem, Metang and Camerupt.
- Dorcas smokes any cigarette he can get his hands on, price-wise. He's not a chain smoker, and in fact tries to stop, but addiction is getting the best of him.
- He has surprisingly good drawing skills.
