Clothing Style: Barnabas mostly has a gentle sense of fashion. He doesn't choose colors that grate on the eyes or are difficult to look at for an extended amount of time. He chooses earthy hues of green, brown and blue, as well as the occasional vivid red here and there. He doesn't wear strictly one color, or too many colors at the same time. He prefers to keep his wardrobe balanced. He doesn't really wear any jewelry, because he doesn't really have the money in his account to buy any fancy watches or rings with genuine gemstones. It's rare to see him wear plaid, fur of any kind, or khakis. During the colder seasons, he wears over-sized sweaters and baggy jeans. During the warmer seasons, he embraces t-shirts as well as shorts. Most of his wardrobe is bought cheaply, sometimes from thrift stores, but he manages to make it work anyways. He's good at making something extraordinary from something mediocre. He takes care to keep his appearance neat and tidy. 

Personality: Barnabas is a young lad with a lot of confidence. He's very extroverted and has a playful, energetic and even flamboyant demeanor. He tends to notice whenever he's making people uncomfortable, and will cease what he's doing that makes them uncomfortable immediately. Unless he's making someone he doesn't like unhappy, then he'll immediately stop and apologize. He's excessively independent, to the point were he absolutely hates depending on anyone else. He believes that those who depend on others are weak. He doesn't like to be grouped with others, and likes to rely on his own strength because it makes him feel good about himself and stable. He truthfully loves and treasures his independence everyday. Whenever he gets ill, he usually tries to remain by himself. He secretly fears the diseases that plagued him returning to incapacitate him once more. He hates being around anyone who is sick, and is a bit of a germaphobe.

He's a diligent worker. Whenever an acquaintance asks a favor of him, it'll usually be on the top of his priority list. He knows how to get work done. He doesn't crumble underneath pressure or deadlines, and he certainly isn't one to procrastinate. He's very supportive of those around him, and urges them to chase their dreams and goals without stopping. He encourages others to do what they wish with their lives, and to push through everything terrible that might be happening in their lives. Barnabas refuses to let anyone around him give up. He's actually very stubborn himself and refuses to give up. He also refuses to accept assistance when he needs it. He believes thoroughly in his own strength, perhaps to the point where it's foolish.

Unfortunately, Barnabas is rather judgmental. Most first impressions made on him are made from appearance. He doesn't like people who have little to no fashion sense, and easily dislikes people he views as "slobs". Those who dress "too gaudily" annoy him. Barnabas is also rather indulgent and will often buy expensive items for himself and eat as much as he wants. He's also a bit smug after any victory he has. If he's beaten someone he dislikes in battle, then he'll tend to bring it up a lot and rub in their faces. If it's significant victory, then he'll become even more aggressive. Although, he isn't a sore loser and will easily train more instead of mope around and cry about his loss. He dislikes arrogant people, mostly because their own egos conflict with his own.

Hobbies/Talents*: Sewing, sculpting, cooking

Past/History: Barnabas was born to a wealthy doctor and interior decorator. Although his parents had been a happy couple, Barnabas was born as a very sickly child. He was hospitalized for most of his childhood, and was rarely at home. Due to this, he rarely was able to socialize with anyone his own age. Because of his condition, he could not play with other children very well. He spent most of his time around adults which caused him to mature very quickly. He was ill for a majority of his life, and even though he wasn't able to have a pokemon until he was much older, he loved the idea of being a pokemon trainer. The idea of being a pokemon trainer caused a spark to ignite within him. He now had a major goal to achieve. There was work to be done. While he was educated mostly by private tutors, he also obtained books about pokemon and worked on teaching himself about pokemon to the best of his abilities. 

After being released from his beyond long stay at the hospital, Barnabas enrolled in trainer school at a very late age. He was about fourteen when he enrolled, and after he realized that there was no need for him to be overly cold or mature, his flamboyant, energetic and superficial personality emerged. He was able to graduate at age sixteen, and easily obtained his starter from the region's professor, Professor Snowbell. He started his journey earlier than the other trainers, but has been summoned back to help with the recent influx of new, upcoming trainers.
