Name: Orion Craft

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality:
Depending on the person you ask, Orion could be a no-nonsense type, or some aloof guy you'd mistake for a crazy person if you saw him on the street. When he's doing work, or talking about something he considers to be serious, he's the former. This is usually when he's doing his research, or talking about topics that have made him think.

When he's with friends, he's usually more aloof, cracking stupid jokes whenever he finds an opening. With friends who like to talk about topics more in his area of interest, he can have a calmer and more thoughtful manner of speaking, yet with also a strange excitement.

History:
Originally, Orion lived in a region named Ardosia in one of the bigger cities where he studied at a school for orphans. That was his home, where he grew up, and got a family. There, he was treated well, educated, cared for by the his peers with whom his bond he considered stronger than that one could ever have by blood. They shared the same rooms for the entire time they were there, which was, until the year they left, almost their entire lives.

Children under the age of six would be taught to read and write and would mostly be more at leisure. Once a child turned six, they would start taking courses according to their age and progression in a competitive environment. Mostly, younger students would take courses on simple arithmetics, science and geometry, along with history and lingual courses. The older students would usually specialize, courses sometimes on the biology of pokemon, philosophy, mathematics.... Once they'd completed their mandatory courses and reached the age of 16, they would be allowed to catch a pokemon and go on a journey, or even work as an aide for someone the school would lead them to in the area they want to continue learning about or work in.

Orion chose the latter, choosing to work for a professor at a university in Ardosia. He studied under the man for a year before he was sent to do field work and record data on pokemon. So he came to Fordis, in order to use this chance to go see a new region in the meantime with his pokemon partner.
