[@Shiny Keldeo] Well, I added stuff to the history, but I'm not sure if it's ok. [hider=AJ] [h3]Alastair Jonathan Kendrick (also known as AJ)[/h3] [b][Pokemon Trainer][/b] [hider=Appearance] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/18/d3/47/18d34701cd398b2d100caf77d74e0a0c--anime-guys-anime-manga.jpg[/img] [/hider] [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Age:[/b] 11 [b]Hometown/Region:[/b] Verdanturf Town, Hoenn region [b]Personality:[/b] AJ may seem quiet at first glance, but he actually talks quite a bit. He speaks his mind more often than not regardless of the situation, though he won’t say more than he needs to. He’s nice enough to other people (and pokemon) whether they’re friends or strangers, and is kind to most. He gets along most easily with those around the same age as him, but respects older people for the knowledge they've accumulated. His moral compass is solid and he is always willing to help those in need. He seems a little naïve at times, but there’s a logic behind what he does. He sets his sights on the small scale, the now rather than later. He knows full well that he can’t predict the future, so he focuses on what he can do and leaves the rest for later. [hider=History] AJ was born into the hands of a free spirited bird keeper and a kind but firm pokemon breeder. He’d always lived with a large family which consisted of his parents, his 4 siblings, and the various pokemon that shared the house. Many were from his mother’s hobbies, though some were pokemon that had shared adventures with his father during the man's younger days as a pokemon trainer. AJ was the second oldest sibling but it didn’t feel like it, with anywhere up to a dozen pokemon in the house along with their large family. Many of the pokemon in the house had lived longer lives than he did, so he learned to respect them. But many in the house had been born during AJ's life, so he learned to take care of them. They didn’t live a rich life but it was a happy life. Most kids his age went to trainer school but AJ made do with the teachings of his father, or what little tidbits he could glean from the largely exaggerated stories he was told. Still, while his knowledge of the ins and outs of training pokemon were a bit lacking, he knew more about pokemon themselves than most. His unique circumstances has made it easier to sympathize with pokemon and AJ enjoyed a bond between him and his 'family' of pokemon. One of his relatives phoned in one day and asked for his father’s help to set up pokemarts in Viore. It was essentially a delivery job, carrying various goods from a central base to various pokemarts across the region. An ideal job for a trainer like AJ’s father, with his extensive experience in flying, but that wasn’t what drew his attention. A new region, filled with all sorts of ruins and natural beauty. AJ’s father, the adventurous free spirit that he was, decided he wanted in. It was a temporary job but if things went well, then there was the possibility of a permanent job for AJ’s father. It took a long time to convince AJ’s mother to let him go, and even longer still to let AJ come with him. The plan has been to let AJ’s father scope out the situation and perhaps later the whole family could move out to the new region. But AJ wanted to see the world; he was interested to see what kind of place Viore was, and his father agreed that it would be a good experience for the young child. They would only be gone for a few months to help get the region’s pokemarts for a time, and they would be back every so often to visit. Still, his mother wouldn’t let him go without an escort, so AJ and his best friend Kevin the spearow set off to see what kind of things there were to see in Viore. A week passed since they arrived in Viore and AJ and his father have settled in for the most part. AJ's father has started doing his job and seems to have gotten used to it. For the time being they're staying at a relative's house in New Amber town and AJ has only started getting used to it. He doesn't mind the down time, however, as he'll find adventure soon enough.

The offspring of his Father’s Fearow, Kevin often got into trouble during AJ’s childhood. While initially distrustful of the boy, they soon became an inseparable tag team of troublemakers, getting into scrapes and learning life lessons when they get told off. For the most part Kevin is still the same personality-wise; proud and impulsive, though not unintelligent. His feisty temperament and tendency to peck first and ask questions later was kept in check by AJ and thus they have both enjoyed a more efficient partnership over the years. He eagerly joins AJ on his trip so that he can show the world that he’s the best Spearow there ever was.
