People who don't know him often see the oblivious nigh vacant Ian, while those he's close to catch the occasional glimpse of fire in his eyes. While he's often quiet and lost in thought, he'll at least make a comment if addressed. While watching Pokemon battles however, his blank expression focuses into an intense stare studying everything that both sides do. While a lot of people might claim he doesn't look like he pays a lot of attention to things around him, especially during conversations where he seems to only hear about half of what he's told, he has shown himself to be very protective of the egg he has been carrying around in his backpack and knows he'll be even closer to it when it finally hatches. His grandparents hope that starting out on his journey would be the perfect way to make him open up. [/hider] [hider=History] Ian was born in the distant Orre region's Agate Village where he was raised by his grandparents. Naturally, in a village filled with senior citizens there wasn't much to do but explore the woods surrounding it and loaf around the village...the former quickly becoming boring without any Pokemon around. As soon as Ian grew old enough to leave the village he left, only saying goodbye to his grandparents and made his way to Pyrite town to live with his cousin and see if he could find some excitement. He found all of the excitement that he could have wanted in watching the Colosseum matches. Seeing people compete for prizes that he could only dream of quickly replaced his vacant stare with childlike excitement, and the prizes the victors gained made him glare in envy. Without a Pokemon though, all he could do was spectate. That all changed after a trainer that had just won the local Colosseum decided he didn't want the dark blue Pokemon egg that had been the prize. Apparently hatching an egg was was "not worth the effort." The man tossed the egg behind him directly at the wall. Luckily Ian managed to catch the egg and bring it home. With no prior knowledge on Pokemon eggs he was forced to contact his grandparents and ask for their advice. Not only did they explain most of what Ian needed to know they sent him a pokeball and an incubator. Eventually the egg started to move, once that happened Ian began to fear that the trainer that had discarded the egg in the first place could find out if it hatched, fearing that perhaps the man that had almost ended its life before it began would come back claiming it as property. In order to prevent this, Ian called his grandparents one more time and asked them to book him a one way ticket to the Fordis Region. Eventually arriving in Estora City to begin his journey.
