Trainer Name: Ryu Vanisis

Appearance: [img]https://i.imgur.com/gGnrw.png[/img]
Age: 13
Gender: male
Personality: Ryu is what many would call a textbook introvert and an intellectual. He tends to shrug off the idea of interacting with and befriending others in favor of burying his nose in a book and getting lost within it's pages. This has resulted in him being a virtual well of knowledge on a variety of subjects. The downside to this is that he somewhat lacks in social graces, being a bit awkward and sometimes a little too forward with his thoughts. This is not helped by his habit of holding his emotions back, often coming across as lacking them and as a result, he often speaks in a flat monotone.

Despite this quiet persona, Ryu does indeed possess emotions and when they come forth, they come forth with the force of a volcano. This is an apt description due to the fact that the emotion that comes through most easily is rage. When this rage burst forth, Ryu loses his entire outer persona and becomes a veritable maelstrom of other emotions, with rage taking the forefront and letting his express the others more easily. That being said, other emotions can take the forefront, it's just that rage is the easiest to express and get out of the boy.

Hometown: Lumiose City

Background:  Born in what could be called the capital of the Kalos region, Lumiose City itself. The son of Aura Vanisis, a local pokemon doctor, and Raiden Vanisis, a famous and popular politician, Ryu was born into a life of wealth and surrounded by pokemon, as many came to his mother for more personal care that what the average pokemon center could give. Meanwhile, his older sister Rose was a trainer and therefore largely absent from his life, as her travels took her Arceus knew where. With a pair of caring and supportive parents, Ryu was poised to obtain anything he wanted to get in the world.

However, there was always something off about the young boy. From an early age, Ryu seemed to be rather apathetic to everything around him. He rarely reacted in an emotional manner that would be expected of a child his age. If you tried to scare him, he rarely did so. He never got sad or upset at things would might easily disturb others his age. This in turn made him an outcast among his peers and many who where in charge of him where also similarly disturbed but handled it better, especially if interacting with him was a part of their jobs.

Probably the closest thing to emotion that Ryu showed was a love for books and knowledge. He always had his nose in a book during his free time, usually about some subject matter that interested him, from mathematics to science to, of course, pokemon. As a result, Ryu became a wealth of knowledge, being the top student in his class and getting accolades in academics left and right.

However, there was something he sought but could not find. He was searching for something he didn't understand but didn't quite know what he was looking for. It was frustrating and he looked into every book he could find that might be a lead, but found nothing. Where he found his answer though, was from a source he didn't expect. One day, while helping his mother look after the pokemon brought into her office, Professor Sycamore came in with an injured Fennekin. Upon seeing the injured little fox Ryu... felt something. It was something he was unfamiliar with and before he knew it, he was holding the pokemon in his arms, trying to comfort it while it shook in his arms. He was very confused as to why he took these actions without thinking it through as he usually did but also curious about the emotion he was feeling, as he so rarely felt them.

His parents, seeing this and a chance to help their son grow, hatched a plan behind Ryu's back with the help of Professor Sycamore. About a week ago, about a month after the Professor had taken Fennekin back to his lab after it had recovered, they proposed that Ryu go and assist a Professor from a different region and aid them in a task that the Professor was recruiting for. With the temptation of new knowledge, as Ryu indeed knew little of the Isson region, the young boy was soon on a plane flying towards the region. And unbeknownst to him, a familiar face was waiting for him there, ready to help him grow in ways he had yet to.
