Name: Devon 'Ace' Hekorane
Age: Sixteen. (16)
Personality: Calm, casual, and intelligent are three words that best describes Devon. He is a very laidback guy that doesn't get angry easily, although he is quick to become annoyed, and will slice someone down in pure spat fire if bothered tremendously. He is a nice enough guy - maybe a bit too aloof and uncaring, but if you're not, in his eyes, frustrating, than he'll be kind to you as long as you return the favor. Under stressful situations, Devon is usually the guy who takes charge, unless someone else does, which, in that case, he sits back and observes the proceedings with an analytical air. He's not specifically quiet - he is, of course, emotionally withdrawn and comfortable with being alone, but Devon also enjoys cracking sarcastic jokes to release unwanted or unneeded tension. A cool teen that may seem a bit eccentric, but is just in control of his emotions, and a bit of a rebel. Often very vulgar, even when he's not annoyed or angry.
Appearance: Ace stands at the medium height of 6'1, with fair skin and a lean, slim, and muscular build from sports. His face is rather angular and chiseled - early adulthood, and his eyes are a deep, electric blue, but it seems to turn a deeper greenish color whenever it hits a certain ray of sunlight, although all of this is unnoticeable from under his glasses. Ace's hair is something that he doesn't even try to style, but seems to fall around his face perfectly. A light blonde, almost white, feathery soft mass of locks that straightens downwards. It lightly covers his forehead and eyes, as well. Ace has both of his ears pierced after failing against peer pressure, and he has a rather unnoticeable scar that trails along his left collarbone. Usually, Ace's 'style' consists of wearing a long-sleeve white and red t-shirt, slim, dark black jeans, and comfortable running shoes, along with black shades that he keeps on no matter the cost. His black and red backpack is usually slung lazily over his shoulder.
History: Ace was originally born in Kanto, though the town he was born in isn't very...well-known. At all. It was a self-reliant town focused on hard-work, training, and general use of teamwork and determination. His mother was a house mom; mostly staying at home, cooking, cleaning, and generally being the nice, doting mom while his father was a travelling adventurer, sending his son back souvenirs and photographs. At first Ace was angry at his father for his lax attitude and his ignorance when it came to matters at home, but eventually learned to just go with it. The town, which was eventually named Mahogany Town, was mostly filled with older men and women, and in turn Ace didn't have many friends. Due to this, he turned to working hard, rap making, and studying about Pokemon, seeing as Pokemon were the only things he could actually talk to and play with. Thankfully the town had many, many strong Pokémon walking around, helping with work and buildings. Eventually he was tired of just talking to them, and with them replying with passing comments of their names, and once again Ace turned to something else; battling.
The thought of travelling the regions, defeating gym leaders and becoming the Champion...it...it astounded him. At the tender age of 12, Ace started to practice with online simulators and games, getting the feel of Pokemon, their typing, and their moves. However, virtual things weren't the same as the real stuff, so he eventually got bored of it and turned back to helping out in the town. By then, most of the building work was done and much wasn't needed. Ace was originally saddened, and felt into a small depression, with nothing to do but mope around. His mother was worried, and called Ace's father, whom came back as soon as he heard that his son was depressed. A time out of the town would do him some good.
So, without any complaints, Father packed Ace's bags and the two ventured out into the world, traversing through the wilds in search of rare Pokemon and adventure. This was just what Ace needed, and he eventually transformed into his old Pokemon-loving, 'cool', beat-turnin' self. On the day of his fourteenth birthday, Ace went home to his mother, and had a small party with some of his friends and his father and mother. His last present was a letter written by his dad...telling him to capitalize on his dreams, along with a ticket to the S.S Anne. It was with a heavy heart that Ace boarded the train...and rode away from his little island, and towards the mainland of Kanto - and therefore, Pallet. His father allowed him to fly his Staraptor the rest of the way, and once Ace arrived in Pallet, and rented a room at an inn, his father's Staraptor quickly flying back to Mahogany Town.
