Name: Ace Harlein
Gender: Male
Age: Fourteen. (14)
Pokemon: Charmander
Personality:Ace is a pretty laidback guy with a calm, focused gaze and a general like for Pokemon, training, and battling. He shows both determination, will, and logic when battling and when talking, and is the sort of person to train with his Pokemon instead of sitting on his ass and forcing them to do it on their own. Ace doesn't condone thieving and stealing, and if possible he would stop it in it's track with extreme prejudice, though whenever things like that happens he tries to keep a calm head. Generally friendly and a nice guy to talk to, if you ignore his slightly cynical jabs and semi-uncaring attitude. He may seem like he doesn't care much for his Pokemon in public, but that's mostly because he doesn't show much...mushy emotions, and he doesn't compliment his Pokemon much. They understand his personality, however.
Appearance: Ace is relatively slim, with an extra layer of lean, strong muscle from work and travel. He has dark black hair that runs thick and feathery down the nape of his neck, messily slicked back into a large ponytail that leads even more hair down to his waist. On his head he wears a regular white and black Pokemon League hat with a random symbol written in Unown on the bill of the hat. His eyes are focused and calm, crimson-red in color with small, wild-looking pupils that contrasts greatly with his over-all calm appearance. His clothing usually consists of a tight white long-sleeve shirt, with a long-sleeve red flannel shirt over that, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Ace's pants are regular blue jeans, a blackish blue in color, with white and red high-top running sneakers. Ace's poke-balls are wrapped lazily around his waist on a belt, while his travelling pack is strewn across his back.
Bio: 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 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 Machamps and Conkeldurrs 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 self. On the day of his thirteenth birthday, Ace went home to his mother, and had a small party with some of his friends and his father and mother. His present was - you guessed it! A Pokemon! But...it wasn't just a normal Pokemon...it was a poke-ball. Yep, all of that build-up for nothing. When questioned, his father told Ace that he would travel around the region once again to get his Pokemon, and to fill up this poke-ball! So, without further ado, the two traveled once again, with Ace finding and, through some weird stroke of luck, catching a rare species; a Charmander, on his first try.
It was then, at the age of 13, Ace took his father's Staraptor to Pallet Town, to begin his journey with Charmander. Sadly, he was forced to stay behind for a year, but it allowed him to make friends with a few of the town's original inhabitants.
