Name: Lumen Ferric Age: 21 Appearance: [img=http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/e4c61dbc7dbe30d6d62537ac8db0a8ba/http://i322.photobucket.com/albums/nn401/Mbarricklow/Female_Trainer_by_orohnpokemon.jpg] Lumen is a fairly tall woman at 5'6'', with dark, silky hair and beautiful dark green eyes. She has a slender build with modest curves, muscle showing itself about her body. She wears casual clothes coming from a peaceful pokemon breeding ranch, she has a very simplistic style, aiming for comfort over style. Trainer Class: Pkmn Breeder Personality: Lumen is more of a pokemon's person than a people person. She's always enjoyed the simple company of the pokemon inhabitants of the world and found them to be alot friendlier than the kids she grew up with. Lumen has always had a passion for the sciences and she found herself obsessed with the concept of evolution from a very young age. She enjoys learning and observing, always taking time to smell the bellossom. She is a kind hearted person but has a short fuse when it comes to stupidity or the endangerment of a pokemon. She sees pokemon as equals, not tools, and cherishes the close bond shared by pokemon and trainers. Backstory: Despite Lumen's age, she has only been on one pokemon journey; when she was ten years old, she left her home in Cerulean and traveled to get her first pokemon from the esteemed Pokemon Professor Oak. Oak was a close family friend when his interest in pokemon genetics led him to the Ferric family breeding ranch where they worked hard to breed ideal, healthy, battle ready pokemon. Lumen had chosen a charmander as her first friend pokemon, and took it with her as she explored her home region, growing and learning on her way. When she returned home nearly 2 years later with a charizard at her side, she found she had taken to the family passion of pokemon breeding. Seeing the vast variety of evolutionary pokemon throughout the lands ignited a fire within her to learn more, to understand more, and to become a great breeder that would one day unlock the many mysteries of pokemon genetics and evolution. For the next 8 years, Lumen worked under her parent's watchful eyes to become a fairly respectable breeder, her 6 pokemon from her journey had become priceless assistants in her studies. She took 2 months out of every year and went to a different region to meet the pokemon profesors and explore the native pokemon using the money she earned from selling her well bred pokemon. At the age of 21, she decided it may be time for another journey, this time she would face an adventure with greater knowledge and experience and would focus on the study of the most compelling pokemon in the world of evolution: eevee. And so, she departed for the Willow League, leaving her dear companions and family at home and embarking on a new journey. Favorite Pokemon Type: Evolution Pokemon. She favors canines/fox/feline types over evolutionary birds or serpents, etc. (E.g. eevee, growlith, zorua, meowth, etc.) Other: Lumen has a fear of zubats and their evolved forms, spinaraks and ariados, and reallly hates being alone in caves and dark forests. Blame it on bad childhood encounters. Also, although she loves all pokemon (except zubat/spinarak and co.) she finds pokemon without the ability to evolve to be... boring. My favorite color May or may not be black AND green. You can't ask me to decide. Although one is technically not a color, but a lack thereof. So. Well. Green?
