Name: Edgar Delano
Age:18
Gender: Male
Hometown: Lavender town
Appearance:
Edgar is rather tall at 6'2, and has a medium build with a pale complexion. He has fairly long brown hair, kept in a pony tail, and bangs that touch his chin. His eyes are brown.
Edgar wears a large dark brown cowboy hat most of the time and also wears a light brown trench coat with many pockets, along with boots, and gloves on his hand.
Personality: Edgar is laid back and enjoys just relaxing. He lives life to enjoy every moment of it, and tries not to stress out about things. His philosophy on life is 'just one day at a time'. He couldn't take the sullenness of lavender town, and tries avoiding depressing situations, which makes him not delicate with people who are down. He just doesn't know how to deal with them. His solution to anything he doesn't know how to deal with is to just leave it alone. He prefers being around happy people, and is happy-go-lucky himself. He's not serious about many things, and is lazy as a result. For Edgar, he just wants to relax, and have a good time all the time. Alot of this comes because Edgar is unsure what he wants to do. He likes travelling, but doesn't see how he's becoming anything, so he just doesn't think about it. He feels a bit ashamed whenever someone mentions their dreams, because Edgar doesn't have any, and feels bad about it. All he knows is he hated being in Lavender Town, and he wants to enjoy life.
The best thing about life Edgar enjoys is the outdoors. He likes the scenery, and feeling relaxed. He feels cramped in very large cities, and is afraid of large groups of people. He's pretty friendly in small groups though, and the misses being around some company. He just wants to find a place he feels like he fits in, and find what his dream is.
Profession: Currently just a Trainer, will change later to Berry Master.
(Why doesn't he have a grass pokemon if he's going to be a berry master? Well you can't just laze around on the back of an Oddish all day, can you? :D)
Talents: Edgar's pretty good at living off the land, enjoying the wanderer's life. He can tell what types of fruits and roots are edible and which are not. He's very creative, especially with his hands, making many tools with the little he has.
His biggest talent is his ability at using berries.

Biography: Edgar grew up in Lavender Town, close by the Radio Tower that was the cemetery. His family, when he was younger, worked in the cemetery. They often payed respect to the pokemon in that tower, and would often take Edgar along. The Ghastly in the tower often played tricks on Edgar, enjoying spooking him. Edgar hated going, despite his parents talking about how the pokemon's spirits would repay the respect he payed them. His mom loved Ghost pokemon, and liked the tower because of that.
His parents threw a fit when the cemetery was torn down for the Radio Tower. Edgar was not too torn up about it, and celebrated the radio. He liked the happy tunes. Edgar always had a happy-go-lucky attitude, and hated how everyone in the whole city seemed to be depressed allthe time. Lavender town was not a place where Edgar could feel like he could just enjoy himself. To escape it, he often was found north of town on Route 10, climbing around on the rocks.
One day his parents tried taking him to the Soul House where the graves had been moved, and he flat out refused, and went north to enjoy nature a bit, ending up around Rock Tunnel.
He accidentally fell down a shaft of the cave and quickly became lost. After wandering for what seemed like hours he ran into an young Onix, who kept eyeing him. Edgar was afraid at first, but remembered his parents line about being respectful to pokemon and them remembering it. He offered the pokemon an Oran Berry, and asked the pokemon if it could show him where the exit was. The Onix eyed the berry for a minute, then looked back at Edgar before quickly snatching it. It nodded it's head, and took off. Edgar ran trying to keep up with the massive pokemon, before jumping on it's back.
The Onix seemed surprised, and curious at the human on it's back, but continued all the same.
At the entrance Edgar gave him the rest of the berries he had on him, before heading back home for the scolding of his life.
He came back to the cave a few weeks later, to see if he could thank the Onix that saved him. He found her, and started a habit of visiting the Onix and giving her berries. Eventually he nicknamed the Onix Gaia, feeling weird just calling her Onix. It surprised Edgar's parents when his Onix started following him home.
Edgar eventually decided he was tired of Lavender Town, and wanted to explore the world. He told his parents he wanted to leave. He lied to them and told them he wanted to become a great trainer, and became a champion. Really all he wanted to do was see the world, but he didn't think they'd let him do that.
He officially bought a pokeball for Gaia, and started his journey. He initially went wherever Gaia would take him. During this time, he started studying the different berries of different areas. A few mishaps, and he started learning which ones would do what by watching the wild pokemon in the area. He started to feel guilty though that he wasn't becoming anything great like what he had said, and he started to head to Pallet town, the starting point of all great trainers. Even if he wasn't going to amount to much, he might as well give it a try.
