Nero Shellbie
Character Type:Protagonist
Age:Thirteen (13)
Personality: Nero comes off as quiet, self-centered and slightly arrogant. These traits are mostly due to his analytic behavior, always trying to extract information from something or someone before he can actively partake into the matter - even into something simple as a conversation. To him, petty talk and friendship only results into wasted time - his objetives, specifically, the objetive to become the champion is always put in front of everything else. He has no social needs or desire, no interest in romance nor would he ever wish to travel with company other than his own pokémon. Onto that matter, Nero has divided views between pokémon, to him - they are both friends and useful tools to achieve his objetive, which is why he often rates a pokémon and it's strength. It wouldn't be uncommon for him to release a recently caught pokémon if it didn't make up to his expectations.
If by any means Nero is engaged in a conversation, he tends to be extremely sarcatisc. Nearly all the time. He has a deep belief that his intellligence is above the others and tests this by using sarcasm; this might not be true, but Nero is certainly very strategic and tactical in his decisions, both in combat and out of it. While arrogant, he doesn't boasts - he prefers to demonstrate his superiority through battles and if he loses, he'd rather swallow his pride, bow his head and leave without any other word other than calling it luck or any other excuse. Onto that matter, Nero absolutely despises excuses, one couldn't lose a battle because they made the wrong decision, no; to him, the wrong decision caused their loss, period.
Gender:Male
History:Born to a pokémon breeder and a fairly renowed trainer couple, Nero's early life was extremely close to pokémon - and at the same time, the boy distanced himself from other children or people, apart from his parents. Preferring the secluded lifestyle, he spent much of his childhood reading books and helping his father develop pokémon while often listening to his mother's advice regarding training and battling. Needless to say, a rather prodigal young boy was raised, which is why both parents agreed without question to allow him to embark upon the journey of training, catching battling - so he could eventually reach his dream: To become a pokémon champion.
Both of his parents helped Nero, giving him a backpack with utility items such as potions, ropes, camping items, food and everything else - as well as his very first pokémon, itself. An Eevee, a rare rather pokémon which Nero's father had recently obtained through breeding. Naturally, they forced the boy to avoid getting a starter pokémon from the lab in the nearest town, as to not give him an unfair advantage. If he was to become a powerful trainer, he'd need to do it with his own efforts.
