Name: Peter Aleny Age: 13 Trainer Class: Youngster Physical Description: Peter is a tall and lanky young boy, standing at 5'9" and weighing around 150 pounds. He has a shock of brown hair that hangs over his face almost totally unkempt and muddy brown eyes that flit from object to object rapidly. He is rarely ever still, always turning or twitching or scratching his head. His skin is tanned and rough from many hours running around outside, and his wardrobe is confined almost entirely to ratty t-shirts, worn down jeans with holes in the knees, and sneakers that are halfway to falling apart. Personality: Peter is energetic, friendly, and excitable. He's very easygoing and rarely hard to get along with, though he does get bored quite easily and is prone to occasionally stupid behavior in the name of excitement. Beneath all that, however, is a young man with a deep sense of responsibility and an enormous amount of loyalty to his friends and family, who'll almost never hesitate to help a friend or a stranger who needs it. On his pokemon journey, he's mainly looking for adventure and new experiences, though there's a not insignificant part of him that feels pressured to be seeking his fortune as well, as he knows that one of the main reasons his father sent him on this journey was so that he could have a better life than his family did. Background: Peter was born in Cerulean city, raised by a single father who made a living as a fisherman. The boy spent most of his days helping his father with his work or running around having misadventures around town. Peter's father was a kind man, but very poor, and the family spent their life in humble circumstances; however, the father always dreamed of a better life for his son. Therefore, after saving for a full year, Peter's father was able to afford to purchase a Pokemon for the boy from a passing ship, which he presented to Peter on his thirteenth birthday. In addition, he had exchanged a few letters with the famous Professor Oak of Pallet Town, who had agreed to provide the young man with a Pokedex. So it was that Peter set out from his home with only his few possessions and his new Nidoran to keep him company, hoping to make his mark on the world. Pokémon: A Nidoran (male) that he's named Darius, which knows Leer and Peck. Inventory: 400 Pokebucks, a potion, and a slightly melty candy bar. PC Stash: His entire life savings - 1200 Pokebucks. Woooo.
