[color=#00FFAE][b]Name:[/b][/color] Ezra Geraldo Daly
[color=#00FFAE][b]Age:[/b][/color] 21
[color=#00FFAE][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Male
[color=#00FFAE][b]Hometown:[/b][/color] Hau’oli City, Alola 

[color=#00FFAE][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Ezra stands at a lofty 6’2”, among one of the tallest males in his family. At 185 lbs., most of the boy’s body consists mostly of trained, toned and maintained muscle. 

His broad shoulders, thin waist, long arms, and even longer legs give him the silhouette of a competitive swimmer, while his natural olive-tan skin and shoulder-length mane of smooth black locks give off the disposition of an accomplished beach bum. If anything, you could assume he keeps up more with his body more than he does his hair, considering how disheveled it can get at times. If it’s not kept in a ponytail, it gets puffy with humidity and will get all over the place. His goatee’s a bit better, but his facial hair doesn’t grow as drastically anyway, so he really doesn’t make any attempt to keep up with it. 

His choice in clothing completes his look of a casual athlete. Don’t expect anything less than light, sleeveless shirts and shorts in warmer climates, and hoodies and sweatsuits when it gets chilly. 

[color=#00FFAE][b]Personality:[/b][/color] On the surface, Ezra might be one of the happiest people you meet. Always a pep in his step, and a tune on his mind. It’s rare to see him without a smile, something his family members picked up on ever since he was a child. To the uninitiated, he could be considered ‘loud’ and ‘hyperactive’, and honestly, that would be a fair assessment. There’s a good chance you might find him talking on his phone, most likely gossiping with a family member.

Despite his cheery disposition, Ezra suppresses a myriad of emotions under the surface. Sensations of doubt, anxiety, self-loathing and regret plague the boy due to some complex and personal situations involving his family. He’ll do what he can to never have those dark emotions show, and uses his positive affections to keep them at bay. 

[color=#00FFAE][b]Profession:[/b][/color] Trainer of both pokemon and people. Ezra’s natural empathy towards the important people in his life made it easy to be a fitness instructor and personal trainer for the studio in his hometown. He’s always eager to help folk better themselves, and it shows in both his work and his pokemon battles. 

[color=#00FFAE][b]Talents:[/b][/color] Given his background, Ezra has accrued many athletic talents. He’s a great runner, a solid lifter, and surfs for fun. His cardio skills would make his energy look limitless if you didn’t know him. Ask him to do a flip and he’ll ask “a frontflip or a backflip?” before doing both anyway.

[color=#00FFAE][b]Inventory:[/b][/color] Honestly, Ezra didn’t come to Kanto with the thought of long-term adventure in mind. He’d figure he would be spending more time hanging around his cousins’ place and taking in the sights, and it shows with what he packed in his medium-sized duffel bag:

- A week’s worth of his favorite clothes (with double the amount of undergarments, socks, and compression tights, along with an extra pair of sneakers)
- 7 pokeballs (one of which is already preoccupied by Brie)
- Smartphone (and an athletic armband to keep it out of his hands and pockets during fitness activities)
- Wireless earbuds (usually secured around his neck if not in his ears)
- Water bottle w/ metal tumbler (for quick protein shakes)
- Way too many protein snacks (jerky, trail mix, and snack bars, all edible for both people and pokemon)
- Assorted accessories and toiletries (hair ties, sunglasses, etc.)
- Wallet (contains ID, passport card, spending cash, debit card (that he was instructed to use only under emergency circumstances), two family photos (one full family photo, one of his mother hugging him on his first day of school), a membership card to his local gym) 
	- Carries wallet in a fanny pack if he needs it out on a run

[color=#00FFAE][b]Starter Pokemon:[/b][/color] [color=#E3CA19]Brie[/color], a young Oshawott from the Unova region. He and his sister were invited to spend a summer with an aunt’s family in Castelia City, and there he received the egg from the family as a birthday gift. Since then, he and the sassy Oshawott have been thick as thieves. She does what she can to keep him focused on his goals, and keeps him from delving too deep into the darker folds of his thoughts. 

[color=#00FFAE][b]Biography:[/b][/color] 
To say Ezra has a big family would be an understatement. Between his mother, Felicia and his father Ezekiel are three sets of twins, all five years apart. At the oldest stand Ezra and his twin sister Esmerelda (nicknamed Eazy and Ezzie by family, respectively), below them are twin brothers Eli and Tawny, and lastly are the identical girls Elena and Esther. 

Fel and Zeke were getting busy, sure, but that’s just how it was within the Daly and Fichuo dynasties. Hell, they aren’t even the only couple in the family with several sets of twins! Early generations of the families (both Alolan-born) were full of kids, and the majority of them ventured out into the world once they could. 

As a result, you could probably find at least one family with a Daly or Fichuo last name in most regions. Despite the distance, they all did what they could to keep in contact with each other. Family reunions happened more often than not, and the turn out was always massive. It didn’t take much for Ezra to make fast friends with many of his cousins, and his parents usually made an effort to make sure both he and Esmerelda could leave Alola from time to time to visit them. 

That family-encouraged wanderlust was what got him his Oshawott, and also what drew him to the Kanto region. Some Kantoian cousins of his (Zapp and his two sisters, Franny and Kelly) invited out to spend some time with them. Zapp, in particular, mentioned the local league challenge and dared his cousin to try it out while he was in the region. Ezra, ever so intrigued by the league traditions of the Kanto, stuffed some stuff into a duffel bag and made his way out. Ezzie, who had her own trip to Johto planned, exchanged some kind words and playful banter with her brother before dropping him off at the airport and seeing him off.
