Name: Gray
Pokemon Species: Machop
Gender: Male
Appearance: Gray has scars all over his body, giving him a scary appearance.
Personality: Gray is wary of those he doesn't know at first, but even so, he isn't hostile without a reason. Also, he is very loyal to those he cares about. He is also ambitious and knows that he wants more than to be in the slums the rest of his life. Ultimately, he is optimistic despite his circumstances and believes that things will be okay in the end, even if he has to work very hard for that to happen.
Biography: Gray was born around Rock Tunnel and spent his early years there. However, as Team Rocket rose, they wanted Pokemon for their experiments and soon captured him for this purpose along with his friends and family. Specifically, they wanted to create a method that would allow Pokemon to talk and read like humans, and that was why they were all brought to a secret lab outside of Viridian City. While all of those Gray cared about perished due to these experiments, he survived, though with the scars that are present on him today.

Team Rocket never knew how successful they were. Gray gained the ability to speak, read and write in English, but the facility was raided before they could discover that fact. Gray escaped the lab, trying to find a trainer who would want him on their team. Those he met were repulsed by his appearance though, so he gave up on that goal and created a life for himself in the slums of Viridian City instead. Gray knew he wanted more for himself than this, but he made friends there and was happy enough for now. The day before the story starts, Gray heard about a valuable shipment going through the city, and decided to investigate. Little did he know what he would get or where this object would take him….
Anything Else: Gray can speak, read and write in English. He also can see well in really dark areas due to growing up in Rock Tunnel and his ability is Guts.
