[hider=Valerian]
Name: Valerian Sergio
Gender: Male
Age: 22

Appearance: Valerian is a man of taller, spindly stature. He stands at around 6'2 with a wiry frame that makes him seem even taller than he actually is. He is almost always seen in the same style of uniform, regardless of the weather or climate that he's currently in, which usually consists of a more formal kind of clothing. He usually carries a somber, stern look on his face, as if he were perpetually present at an annoying business meeting that he'd rather not be in, though an observant eye can see him soften up when around his now sizable partner in crime.

Background: 
Valerian was born in the bustling Zhivegas city to parents who were workers in the regional power plant. Even from a young age, he was used to them coming back home late or sometimes not at all, and was often alone by himself. This changed when their parents found a wild Aron on  the worksite and was able to corral it away from the expensive equipment and into a safer location. When the question was raised on what would be done with the stray pokemon, his father came to the conclusion that the lonely Val could use a friend. And so it was that it was brought home and a lasting bond was formed

The two were partners in crime from the get-go, having bonded almost instantly. It turns out that both had little regard for authority and Val would often skip school and sneak to the arcade, or rely on his partner to smash into slot machines to make the cash fall loose so that they could go and buy food and games together. They had happy days together, even if the activities they were doing were somewhat immoral and definitely not advisory. 

Things changed for his family when his mother suffered a severe injury at the power plant, and was unable to continue working. His father had to pick up the hours and he saw how disastrously things had become for his family. When Val decided that he would help remedy his families financial ailments by upping the scale of his petty theft, his family began to ask questions about where this money was coming from, and how he'd gotten it. Eventually, he ran out of excuses and his father was livid when he found out. The two had a big falling out, perhaps made worse by the ever more stressful days of work and he decided to leave home. And although he was lonelier, he still had his best friend by his side.

It was around this time that he met a man that'd change the course of his life. Someone who held the same beliefs and convictions as he did, and had a dream that he needed help achieving. The impressionable young lad took an immediate liking to someone who didn't treat him like a criminal or an outcast, and actually showed compassion and respect for the bond he'd forged with his pokemon. Perhaps blinded by youthful enthusiasm, Val swore a vow to help the mans goal be realized by any means necessary, and he began to work tirelessly as a trainer to get stronger to meet this end. He didn't mind dirtying his hands further, they were already the hands of a criminal, or so his father would say.
