Hello, my name is Lee Currently, I am 18 Obviously, I am a Male My home town is Dust Town What I really want to be is a Trainer Lee stands at the height of 5’10, though that’s when he’s not slouching. His hair is thick and dark brown, but on the short side. Instead of bothering with it, he prefers to wear a simple cap to cover his head. Typically his hat is either red or black, or a combination of as those are his two favorite colors. As far as clothes go, he wears a typical mono colored t-shirt in warm weather. In colder weather, he’ll break out either a grey hoodie or a green jacket that seems oversized for him. Which he goes with depends on just how cold he feels. Having poor vision, Lee has to have corrected lenses of some sort. Typically he wears his contacts, but he can be caught wearing glasses. His natural eye color is brown, typically a dark brown like his hair but lighting and shading can bring out a lighter color brown to his eyes. With him in his travels is a green backpack that is the same color dark green as his jacket. He carries all possible essentials no matter what the journey he takes. This is how I am, take it or leave it! Lee’s humor has a variety of layers to it. He doesn’t usually pass up a good pun and can come off as having a very cheesy sense of humor. At the same time, he is very fluent in sarcasm and a sarcastic remark can be available at any given time. He can be counted on to laugh at most any jokes, even if he knows how wrong the joke may be and that he probably shouldn’t laugh at it. He can be loyal to a fault. This can lead him to be blindsided by someone he considers close, and thus naïve to they type of person they are or have become. He likes to believe there is good in all people, even if he thinks it is buried deeper in some. As a friend, he can always be counted on and also makes for a great listener. Though he doesn’t consider himself quick to give advice, he will share his input when he feels it’s necessary. When betrayed, heartbroken, or otherwise wronged it is hard to gain his trust back. It is a fragile thing that is not easily mended. He will distance himself from not just the person who has wronged him, but any others he may suddenly be suspicious of. For what may be considered longer than necessary, he may hold any of these people (The wrongdoer or the suspected) at arms length at best. To compound on top of all this, he doesn’t readily open up with what’s really bothering him and will keep things bottled up for quite awhile. The story of how I came to be. Lee grew up in Dust Town in an average sized household. Lee is the oldest of three children, having two younger siblings that are twins (one boy and one girl) and six years younger than him. The children were raised primarily by their mother since Lee’s father was a pokemon coordinator and wasn’t home often at all. Infact, not long after the twins were born, his father left yet again to travel abroad and has rarely been home since. This has left Lee in an awkward, but not too unfamiliar situation. Part of Lee’s duties have been to help raise the twins. Since his Mom’s job demanded plenty of time to get a decent pay to support them, Lee had an active mentoring role in the twins’ lives. Such responsibilities meant a number of things. For one, Lee couldn’t get a job at all since someone needed to see to the twins. Secondly, he didn’t have the most social lifestyle since much of his time was spent home doing chores, keeping up the house, and keeping up with the twins. Thirdly, it meant Lee wouldn’t realize a dream of his anytime soon. Ever since about the age of eleven, around the time his father was more consistently at home while his mother was pregnant, Lee would listen to his stories of being a pokemon coordinator. Now Lee had no particular interest in being a coordinator and following in the footsteps of his father, despite his father’s most convincing speeches, but his father’s tales of pokemon trainers he encountered were of interest to him. Lee had seen pokemon before and he knew about the trainers, but the details were always lost to him at a young age living in a small town, despite it being a small town where many pokemon trainers got their start. He knew the start up process, but he never heard the details of their exploits and what they encountered. He wanted to experience this for himself, but he knew he wouldn’t get that chance immediately. When his mother had the twins and his father left shortly after to continue the life of an active, traveling coordinator, Lee knew his chances of becoming a trainer were that much farther away from him. It was as if they left with his father. As the years went on, the dream became more distance. It was to the point that Lee no longer thought it’d be achieved, yet it was never a dream he quit thinking about. Now the twins are both at the age Lee was when he started raising them. Being at age twelve, they are able to take on much of the responsibility Lee had and their big brother no longer needs to constantly keep watch. When he turned eighteen years of age, Lee decided then was a good time to take a chance on a dream. On his birthday he sat his mother down and had a long discussion with her, telling her that this was the only thing he wanted for his birthday, the freedom to live his dream. After much back and forth discussion and valid points rendered on both ends, his mother finally gave in and allowed him to live his dream. However, this came under the condition that he came home often and stayed for a lengthy visit, unlike his father. Reassuring her that he would not turn into his father, the discussion was ended and Lee began preparations for his quest. |
