Personality: In direct opposition to the stereotypes regarding most Fire-Type Specialists, Ignatius is actually level-headed and calm, rarely letting his emotions get the better of him.
However, in times where they di get the better of him, he makes most Fire-Type Specialists look like Ice -Type Specialists with how overdramatic, hot blooded and crazy he gets.
Other than that, he has a somewhat paternal disposition, having a fondness for children (No, he is not a PedoTeddiursa. Stop asking!)
Relatives:
David O’Riley- Paternal Grandfather
Carmen O’Riley- Paternal Grandmother (Deceased)
Adrian O’Riley- Father
Charlotte O’Riley- Mother
James O’Riley- Younger Brother
Pyria O’Riley- Younger Sister
History: Ignatius was born in Lavaridge Town, to a family with history overseas in Unova. Said family was quite well-to-do and stable, with them running one of the many hotsprings that peppered the area.
When he was 9, his paternal grandfather, a Pokemon Ranger, visited Ignatius and his family while overseas from Unova. This was the point at which the young boy obtained his first Pokemon, finding a Larvesta Egg while helping his grandfather unpack, which he took a keen interest in. One thing led to another, and he obtained his first Pokemon.
Shortly afterwards, he left Lavaridge on his journey as a novice trainer, his trusty Larvesta, by which point he had named Uriel, by his side.
Now, after 20 years active as a Pokemon Trainer, with many a badge in his collection, he’s ready to go that one step further, and step up to the grill: Apply for the Elite Eight
Why He deserves to be an Elite Eight:
As noted above, Ignatius has 20 Years’ experience as a trainer of Fire-Types. He knows what they’re capable of, and can more than prove it.
On top of that, he has a desire to see other up-and coming trainers rise to the challenges set by those that came before them, and engage those who outdo themselves on the field of battle.
