Name: Anthony De Rossi Age: 18
Gender: Male
Personality: A charismatic guy, Tony is loyal to his friends, mature, and firm with his decisions. He always keeps his feelings to himself and people close to him and is usually very calm especially at the sight of a beautiful woman. Sporadically Anthony has a need for female companionship as he easily falls in love but tries not to show said affection and if not fed by the object of his affection will quickly go away.
From early childhood, he has been a determined person as he has always aimed to be the best dragon type trainer in Kalos and when in a good streak likes to talk boastingly about his and his pokemons’ skills.
However, the pursuit of skill is something that Tony repeatedly struggles with. Whenever he meets same tier trainers he makes an evaluation of their abilities through battle: those he perceives to be weaker than himself he gives advice and can even offer help to.
He feels others should show the same respect towards their opponents and their team even if they are beaten or not as skilled as the winner because they also have the chance to surpass themselves by training hard.
But those he believes are stronger than him he fixates on surpassing, training tirelessly alongside his pokemon for outrageous continuous periods and not minding hazard to his person. It is on these times of self-improvement that the usual flirty, relaxed, warm and confident De Rossi disappears completely as he obsesses over being at the same level or even better than the trainer he has set as a target. Instead he becomes constantly frustrated, stubborn, irritable, silent, and gloomy being even capable of lashing out at the people he cares about the most (his friends, family, girlfriend if on a relationship)
History: Anthony was born to a small family in Slateport City. He lived a regular life until he was about 12 years old, at that point things began to change as his father’s ship travels became more frequent and of longer durations. Tired of his father’s lack of presence on the house his Mom decided to move with him into the ship. There he explored the world from city to city.
He did volunteering work on the ship and as payment his parents let him go to spectate large pokemon tournaments where he grew to love fights. Having earned sufficient money to live comfortably his father retired and they moved to Rustboro.
In his new city he got into the Pokémon Trainers' School where he learned the basics and became a well-made team with his first pokemon, a tyrunt named Jaws gifted to him by his aunt who lived on her visit from far away Kalos.
It was thanks to her stories about that region and the mythical Drasna with her dragons that Tony decided to move in with his aunt as soon as he turned 18 and together with Jaws they set out to Kalos’ Lumiose city in order to start their pokemon journey there.
To his surprise an opportunity arose the week he moved in, as the local lab announced it was giving away pokemon to want to be adventurers.
Preferred Partner: Deino
Dream: Take Drasna’s place in the elite four.
