Name: James Marshall
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: James is a competitive trainer, though whether he has the motivation to collect enough badges to compete in the League properly remains to be seen.
Hometown: Celadon City
Appearance: Just under 6 feet tall, James has a fairly athletic build. His messy, light brown hair falls to just above his shoulders, and he makes a futile attempt to keep it in check with a black headband. His deep blue eyes mark an almost arrogant expression, and he carries himself with confidence. He wears a white t-shirt with regular blue-jeans, and over top he wears a black coat falling a bit past his knees. His left arm is bandaged from just below the elbow to the wrist, and he actively avoids contact with the area. He also wears fingerless gloves; apparently a style choice more than anything else, as he seems to enjoy putting forth a certain type of image.
Personality: Often sarcastic, but generally friendly, he tries his best to be helpful, but tends to shy away from tough physical labor (well, when it's not his idea, at least). His tendency to mask displeasure and anger makes it tough to tell when he's upset, which often leads to unexpected confrontations. He takes things as they come, and tends to laugh off things that would severely offend others. As a result, he sometimes forgets that not everyone is quite as thick-skinned as he is.
Various events in his past, as well as stories from his parents, have left him with a fierce hatred of Team Rocket. It's not uncommon for him to resort to physical confrontations aside from Pokemon when particularly enraged.
History: Having grown up in a household on the outskirts of the city where both mother and father were long-time, skilled trainers in their own right (though both had retired and settled down), he had a very pokemon-centric upbringing. Though he was never to get around to officially becoming a trainer due to assisting his parents and other various activities (still mostly Pokemon-related), his mother and father had taught him much on their own and over time, and he helped to care for his parents' pokemon, and eventually their children, including a young new Houndour to be named Fenris.
With a strong education on Pokemon, and plenty of hands-on experience with his parents, James often found himself dreaming of himself as a powerful trainer to rival his father in his prime, and often watched old videos of many of his battles, though few of them were actually official matches, as his father never participated in the Pokemon League.
His bandaged arm comes from an incident several years past with what seemed to be a wild Houndoom; his father's own Houndoom, Cerberus, ended up coming to his rescue, but not before James received a nasty burn on his arm. Eventually, the time came to begin his own training properly. To make a name for himself outside his parents’ shadow, which meant that it was at last time to pay Professor Oak a visit.
Goals: James doesn’t really have any set goal, but simply to become as powerful as he can be. He is considering competing in the League, but doesn’t consider it a “goal”.
Other Info: His mother and father, Robert and Mychelle Marshall, may have retired as trainers, but they still have some powerful Pokemon to their names when the need arises to get into the battle.
Kitsul & Kao (brother & sister, Jolteon & Espeon respectively)
Sabellian (Black Charizard)
Cerberus (Houndoom)
Splinter (Lucario)
**NOTE, I HAVE NO PLANS TO PLAY EITHER OF THESE TWO OR THEIR POKEMON.**
Wish list: ...pretty much any fire type, really. Plus Cubone.
