[center][hider=Yuu Nozomu] Name: Yuu Nozomu Age: 17 Gender: Male Appearance: [Img]http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140715144648/seaoffools/images/thumb/8/8f/Jonathan-arleigh--final.jpg/500px-Jonathan-arleigh--final.jpg[/img] Yuu is fairly tall, standing proudly at a height of 6'2", with a weight of 178 pounds. He has a slightly pale complexion, and has the appearance of a rather lanky and slightly frail boy. However, he is rather well built much to most peoples surprise, being caught off guard by a "weak" appearing trainer others can usually assault. He is fairly confident in both body, spirit, and battle which often leaves him in a cheerful mood with a confident bona fide smile. The boy sports uncombed, messy hair which he doesn't bother to brush, even though he carries around a hairbrush. One of the most notable facets is his naturally tinted lavender hair which sort of runs in the family, mainly from his mothers side with their unusual hair colors. There are a few dark streaks in his hair which came from him dyeing the roots a blackish hue which has slightly faded. Another well known part of his appearance is his violet iris' which are rather piercing to say the least. Although he doesn't actually have a particular taste for fashion, his usual getup features a blue jacket with feather-like tufts, a green tank-top, beige pants, and stylish black shoes (shown wearing). He also has a white jacket with weird ear-like things on the hood, a blue striped pull-over, and blue pants. He also sports a green jacket with a few other dapper clothes on him in his inventory that he can adorn himself with. He also seems to love three different colors the most, and will generally react to such things in a positive way.

A boy with a serene mind that doesn't mind taking his time to smell the roses, but know when it's time to haul out. He is very assured of his own abilities, to the point where he walks into a battle with a simple genuine smile for his opponent to show he isn't at all disgruntled nor taken back. He also showcases a friendly persona of sorts to others, often those without any sort of tenacity inside them. Yuu will cheerful urge them onwards, no matter what the circumstances are. He states that he wishes to challenge the league to prove himself as the best trainer in Johto, putting emotion into such thought. He can be considered too bold from time to time as he is extremely stubborn and what others can consider cocky. He never turns tail and run from a challenge presented before him and swears that he will tear it to shreds with his talents. Sometimes this leaves him blinded as he tumbles toward a new challenge, unaware of what is to come until its too late. Even with this setback, he will figure out a way out for anyone with him to get out of a really abhorrent situation, even if it hurts him in the end. If he loses to these challenges, depending on what they are, he will put on a false smile with sheer animosity against himself for messing up, or anger for endangering the lives of others. However, this is caused from rooted troubles ingrained within his soul, he is troubled by going to sleep from time to time. He shows an almost innate discountenance when around dark times, and a deep-seated fear of one specific pokemon. What he also truly is afraid of the most is losing people and pokemon he sincerely cares for, valuing them above all, and mostly himself. This is in due part to his sister being currently ensnared in an everlasting nightmare along with a few others due to an organize overaggressive pokemon attack. Yuu will not hesitate to inject himself into the episode to dispel any misery the victim is absorbing and will help them endure it by taking it instead. Usually when the situation is dire, he will go to such outrageous plans that mainly end up in him being harmed. Although he will sometimes welcome help in such times, he will make sure no one is defiled before and after the outcome. History: [color=7ea7d8] "All I can remember are those years when it all started... Sister, can you remember what it was like? Walking alongside such wonderful beings only to lose touch with them? You remember, right? It's so strange how it all started, and now..." "Hey, do you remember-"[/color] Ever since his childhood, Yuu and his older sister have been always interacting with wild pokemon with their parents who were former trainers. They often imagined the whimsical adventures their parents traveled on as they painted livid words. His father is a business man who constantly moves around with his family from region to region do to working alongside myriads of companies. His mother was a former contest star who's name has been lost among the countless stars who participated in such displays. Although they didn't have such a huge connection to their dad, most of their time was spent around their mother who cherished her two children dearly. She was always wild and created fun scenarios which her children and pokemon enjoyed. Both children have seen and encounter different settings in their life ever since they were born, originally in Johto. They spent most of their younger years there, conversing and playing with children and their families before heading to another region at the age of five and seven in which the two tearfully said their farewells as they departed to another region. The boy recalled that it had to do with something involving the Devon Corporation, or something along the lines. Either way, he lived in a city that held a gym leader who recently replaced Roxxane. The duo attended trainer school to gain concurrent knowledge on what their father and mother had during their own tales they spun, wishing to complete such an ordeal one day. He was picked by other students for having a somewhat higher interest in pokemon which almost caused him to hold himself back in hopes of averting the crude responses. Thankfully his mother and sister caught wind of this and stepped in to help him during such times, bequeathing advice to him. Eventually he got over such a mundane thing and became unaffected by such hollow remarks, and they eventually stopped due to his positive responses. During his seventh year, his family moved to another region, this time the Unova region, stories of pokemon attacks had been rising upwards. His family who had been surrounded by pokemon their entire life found themselves bemused with the sudden change in their calm behavior turning aggressive and becoming feral. It was almost hard to believe until they saw another human brutally thrashed after their pokemon was killed in front of them. Their children were lucky not to see it, but became terrified and wondered why such a thing could happen. This invoked pure curiosity into Yuu who started doing some research into the lives of pokemon and how they became that way. This study would not become intense until his sixteenth year. Eventually, after a great deal of time flew passed, they found themselves back in Johto, back in a contrasting building in a recognizable environment. Even with the professor living in the area, Yuu couldn't even find a single soul he used to identify, save for a familiar family with a newfound daughter he never saw before. This was a new slate in a way with a familiar palette, and he had to create a new life, especially once his sister embarked on her own journey, leaving him alone. It wasn't long before his family moved out of New Bark Town and to Olivine City so he could pursuit education and decide whether his life would be lived as a trainer or a man within economics. The void nibbled and nipped on him for a bit, but he found new friends during this brief amount of time when she left for a year, along with stark a stark, clashing rivalry between a violet haired miscreant. Even though it was all unfamiliar, fresh, he found his way and integrated himself into the mix, finding happiness among the crowds of students attending school. This fortune he was betwixt with was about to disperse into thin air as the sabled flames overtook his whole family. [color=7ea7d8]"... No, I can't go through with this part of the tale... I just can't... I hurt you, and I'm so sorry... I hope you have the heart to accept my pleas for forgiveness after I return... I crippled you with this blight, so I would understand if you or the others hated me... but I'll never abhor you or the others." "..." "... anyways, I should be getting to bed now and stop reminiscing on the past with you as tomorrows the big day... I hope you can see me coming back a different and better man after this journey once you've fully recuperated." "Good night dear sister, I hope to see your dreams come true one day..." "That's all I honestly wish Yasu."[/color] When near the outline of the city, Yuu saw a visage of a familiar girl, one who shifted uncontrollably, almost in a daze. That outline was his sister, which he excitedly waved to while shouting to get her attention. Yuu saw as she snapped back to him with fear in her eyes and streaming tears - he remembered the Houndoom and how it pinned him down, how she sent her Pokemon to save him, how they all met their demise... and the snarling that came from it when it left a bloodied and burnt Yasu in their place. Yuu should of been grateful his mother saved him and his sister, but yet he could only remained shocked with wide-eyes as his older sister was rushed to the emergency room. He did this - Yuu Nozomu caused not only the death of his sisters pokemon, but put her into critical condition. Before he knew it, he found himself back in New Bark Town with a nurse from Mahogany town. They took her back so that she might recover in such a pleasant, healthy, breezy place once she awoke. While he did help out with caring for his sister, he also performed myriads of things to mend his broken mind and ready slightly taut body. Working out and researching for the next one year was his mission, along with caring for his harmed sister in any way the nurse asked him. Of course, he was cursed with a slew of nightmares, seldom having a nice dream in a while. It was like a broken record, with that mutt getting angrier and more ravenous with each passing slumber. Yuu may be physically steeled, but by all means he is not even close to being mentally steeled. Quirks/Habits/Other: - Yuu has a tendency to over-prepare for journeys, and often overdoes it when trying to procure items. As a result, he carries around more leftover items than he actually need. However, this can come in use when hanging around with other people. - Yuu isn't one to be taken back by certain situations, and often works to make the best of it, no matter how harsh the impending events are. He isn't one to be driven down into the dirt by a simple setback. - Yuu doesn't often go to his back up plans at times because they are usually drastic. However, when he does go to such dire actions, he will often fight in place of his pokemon, often being warranted as insane for doing so. - Yuu is considered to be physically fit and quite durable, despite his rather lanky appearance. He can easily hold out in a fight, whether it is between humans or pokemon. The latter has yet to be seen. - Yuu is actually quite afraid of dark types, specifically one that traumatized him and put his sister into an almost never ending nightmarish coma. If ever put face-to-face against said pokemon, he might as just tense up in sheer fear and animosity against the thing. He is [i]very[/i] biased against this pokemon. - Yuu is shown to be incredibly loyal to others, and would go to the ends of the earth, er pokerealm for them. He swore an oath not only to win the pokemon league championships for his sister since he sort of got her into this predicament, but promises to find a way to bring her back from her coma. - Yuu is very hard to get riled up, making it hard to spot a mean bone in his body. He can be slightly set off, but only when it's for anothers sake. If pushed to the very brink, he will do whatever he can to make your life hell until satisfied. - Yuu will tap the bottom of his lip when faced with a certain predicament he can't find the answer to or when he demonstrates himself as extremely pressured or nervous. This habit extends over to going to drastic measures when he chooses to wager his life. - Yuu prefers to make direct eye contact with a person to make sure they are not only listening to the conversation, but to measure their confidence. - Yuu doesn't enjoying showing his true nature around others he doesn't know much about and is keen on hiding matters, unless it is very important and must be told at utmost haste. - Yuu is very competitive to say the least and prefers not to back down from any challenge issued to him by a trainer, no matter how worn out he is. Plus, he loves a good battle, however he discretely despises himself when he loses one, even if its against a good friend.

He now works to defeat the pokemon league for both his sisters sake and his own while waiting for her to finally awaken; puts up a cool facade, but in reality is scared of losing or hurting more people due to any rash or careless actions. He also doubts his abilities as being a trainer from time to time. Color: Indigo [/hider][/center]
