Personality:
age: 14
Gender: Male
Path: Trainer
Personality:
Light-hearted and fun, two very unique adjectives, many wanting to possess those traits, while only a few truly have them. Luckily, Derek is infused with both. Always one to do something that is funny, considered the class clown in class, Derek has a carefree persona that makes everyone around him feel at ease and allows for good times to be had by all. Despite the fact that he is slow to anger, Derek does have a rather serious side, whenever he is in the heat of battle, Derek can think clearly and calmly, unlike some trainers. He is very gentle with Pokemon, and makes friends easily with Pokemon and people alike.Description:
Does being light-hearted and fun bring a downside? Indeed it does, as most times he is too lazy to get any homework or typical work assign to him finished. This is part of the reason he wanted to come to the Dianto Region by himself. He needed to learn some more values, respect ranking low on his list as well, and maybe even learn to get work done without procrastinating.
With shaggy black hair, Derek shows off his personality in his appearance as well. His hair is about shoulder length, obviously not having been cut in a few years. Derek has the bluest eyes, reflecting that of the sparkling azure sea.History:
He has a very hefty build, though isn't considered overweight. Quite tall, Derek extends five feet and seven inches vertically, and weighs about 147 pounds. His muscles are that of an average teenager, hopefully he can increase them on the journey that lies before him.
Clothed in a pair of faded blue jeans, he doesn't really take care of his clothes. He knows that it's not what is on the outside, but on the inside rather that counts and shows that through his apparel. Given the chance, he will just wear a regular T-Shirt, but his mom complained a little too often and he now wears white T-Shirt, with a red jacket over it, just in case. Fussing also about how his Pokemon would be kept, she insisted on making him a PokeBelt, basically a belt with certain cut-outs for different pokeballs. Also wearing a watch, but never a hat, Derek may not know where he is, but he sure will know when he was there. Black and red sneakers adorned on his feet, he hoped he will have to replace them often on the adventure that will soon unfold.
Growing up in Goldenrod, Derek has been around Pokemon all of his life, though in Johto for most of the time. His life was rather average, though he did have quite a few "adventures", to him at least, when he was a little kid. The Route that separates Goldenrod from other towns has always housed many Pokemon, some dangerous and some not so much. Lucky for Derek, or unlucky as his parents would have said, he encountered a Skarmory when he was about seven. He battled it courageously, but in the end his father had to use his Arcanine, a very close Pokemon to Lawrence, Derek's dad, to defeat the steel type.Other:
After those events, Derek always had to have one of his parents Pokemon, preferably one that could fight without many orders and knew the right things to do, to accompany him whenever he went out of the city limits.
Lawrence was a great Pokemon Trainer in his day, almost making it to the Elite Four of Kanto, but having to be rushed home to Johto in a family emergency. While he was at home tending for his own mother, he met Dianna, who later became is wife. With his Pokemon still in tow and wife-to-be Dianna, he headed to Goldenrod to settle down, maybe raise children that could one day claim the glory that he had been so close to obtaining.
Dianna his an assistant to the Nurse Joy at Goldenrod Pokemon Center, tending for the Grass and Water Types. She has a very gentle soul, and only wished to help Pokemon, not make them battle or show them off. She bestowed this sense of gentleness on Derek, though his father's passion for battle is also very much alive.
Going to the Trainer School in Goldenrod for most of his life, Derek know a lot about battle strategy and Pokemon in general, though he grades might not reflect that. When it comes to do actual work, let's just say he falls short. However, his soaks up all the information about Pokemon he can, and is, in all actuality, a great candidate for the next incredible Pokemon Trainer. He still must start his journey, and this is why he boarded the boat to Dianto, his parents saying their goodbyes and the hope of gaining what is dad never had in his thoughts, Derek was on his way to a journey of a lifetime.
Derek has been wanting to become a Pokemon trainer for a while, and this subject, in fact, is the one he will not procrastinate with. He has planned out his whole team, though none of it is for sure, and it could change on the fly. Setting out into the Dianto Region, he has high hopes that he will find a travel companions, adventures are best shared in pairs.
