... I ... Can't really give an ETA on when my character will be up. I'm having severe buyer's remorse about every faceclaim I select and keep waffling back and forth and then going to look for something new.
But I'll get something up! Eventually. Hopefully soon™.

Backstory:
Alexander was born to a wealthy family in Tohjo City and the eldest of three. Alexander's family, while now semi-native, were initially from the Hoenn before moving to Tohjo City during his grandparents' time. Though his family are somewhat treated as normal citizens but not fully accepted. But knowledge of his heritage did make him wonder about the outside world. What lies beyond the city, and what mysteries lie in the outside world. The first mystery he was fascinated by the massive tower in Tohjo City.
Which as he grew over the years. This curiosity grew, and he started asking his parents questions about Hoenn and the outside world. Despite the advice of his parents, would try to dissuade the thought. Alexander went to the only person he knew whom he could talk about this and had traveled around was his grandmother.
For his grandmother and late grandfather, in their youth, had traveled the world before settling in Tohjo City. So Alexander started to talk and listen to the stories his grandmother had while traveling the world. He listened intently, and it only fueled his desire to explore the world outside of Tohjo City. Along with sparking an interest in Pokemon since the tales of the different Pokemon his grandmother had seen and even kept one as a companion from Hoenn. An old Flygon named Iona.
His grandmother encouraged him to see the outside world for himself, but he should be prepared first and have a companion. So Alexander, now wanting to learn about Pokemon and explore the outside world. He started to prepare himself by enrolling at the Tohjo City Pokemon Academy. Which he earned high grades, and he started to think about what he really wanted to be. To want to see the world is one thing, but what will he do after that or during?
So, after thinking about and considering his desire to see all sorts of Pokemon and what he can learn about the outside world. He realized he could be an explorer of sorts, like his grandparents, or a researcher of sorts and felt that one way he could learn more about Pokemon was by battling with one. Learning how to care for one and seeing how they develop as they grow alongside a trainer. Along with studying and learning the mysteries and lore of both his home region and beyond.
His parents on the other hand, were less supportive of his dreams and goals. They prefer that he seek a career in something else. An engineer mainly, and has threatened to not support him financially if he does not study to be an engineer.
Still, this did not change how Alexander felt about his dreams, and he thought that perhaps he did not need his parents' money to do what he wanted. Which his grandmother supported him regardless and encouraged him. He started to plan how to get the money to support his goals.
Either by luck or fate, Alexander would get a call from Professor Camphor about a job because of his high grades at the Tohjo City Pokemon Academy. Seeing his chance, he accepted the offer, but before he left Tohjo City. His grandmother gave him a young Trapinch, an offspring of her Flygon. Which Alexander humbly accepted and is eager to show his new pokemon the world.
He now heads to the professor's lab to formally start working for her and helping her with her research. While preparing to start his dream and explore the world. Stating with his home region.
