Appearance: Isaac stands at a tall 6 foot 4, or about 195 cm. He has an overall pretty average build, mostly from a career of pacing around waiting for challengers. He used to take great pride in his golden hair, but over the years he's stopped taking care of it, becoming shaggy, unkempt, and losing most of its previous luster. He typically wears a tank top or T-shirt under a light jacket, accompanied by baggy running pants. He used to have a much more refined dressing style, but nowadays he just grabs the first thing he sees out of his wardrobe.
Age: Isaac is 27 years old.
Personality: Isaac has grown mostly apathetic over his career as the champion, losing interest in many things, and rejecting most forms of public interaction, such as interviews, autographs, or making appearances as big events. On the rare chance you can find him during his daily activities, he is usually unsociable, and can get irritated easily. He does, however, show some signs of life around children, and the occasional young trainer.
History: As a young trainer, Isaac was seen as a prodigy. He blazed his way through trainers at gym leaders alike in just his teens. Before he knew it, he found himself as the new champion of the Johto Reigon.
At first, Isaac enjoyed his new position as champion. All the girls wanted his number, he got to be on TV, he made lots of money, and had the respect of trainers near and far. Isaac knew, however, that this could be taken from him at any time, all it took was one stray challenger to end his time in the spotlight. He couldn't let that happen.
Isaac spent months upon months hand selecting his perfect team, even going so far as to import them as babies from the world's top breeders. He trained day and night, in an almost paranoid mania. Yet at last he was finally done. His perfect team. His position was cemented as champion.
Yet therein lied the problem. Isaac became obsessed with winning. It consumed him. And after a while, he eventually completely burnt out. Battling became a chore, more than anything to him. No trainer he had faced during his time as champion far had posed much of a threat, and with his perfected team, he was practically undefeatable.
He grew reclusive, not wanting to waste his time on people. He grew tired of the interviews, the fangirls, the paparazzi, everything. Luckily for Isaac, he had friends. Namely, the Elite Four. They had noticed that after a decade of being the champ, he had become a mere shell of a man. They needed him to get his fire back. So, they devised a plan: Send Isaac back to the beginning of his journey to try and give him a new perspective of things, and to do so with an up and coming trainer to keep him in check. Or at least, to try and get their lively vigor to rub off on him. A reigon wide drawing was held, and the rest, the say, is history.
Trivia: Isaac's parents moved to Johto from Hoenn, as such, he knows much of their culture, and of the pokemon that go there. He even went there a few times as a child, but hasn't been there since he was champion.
