Name: Amos Bergstrom
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Place of birth: Jubilife City, Sinnoh
Height: 6'1"

Description:

Amos is taller than most his age, in fact taller than many he meets in general. He has a form made up of lean muscle. His light skin coupled with the comfortable life he's lived gives his face a rounder and younger look which he tries to offset by keeping some maintained stubble on his face. He's topped by blonde hair. He's never had the patience to deal with styling hair so he keeps it cut neat and up. He has clear green eyes. His face usually shows one of two expressions, a focused observation, or a self-satisfied smirk.

He dresses casually in most situations. A henley and jeans, or a tank and shorts. He has a bright green zip up hoodie he often wears as well in the chilly weather of Sinnoh. For special occasions involving dressing up he likes to really stand out.

History:

Amos has never lacked for anything he's wanted in life. He was the third child in a wealthy family and so had an easy childhood. His mother is the head of an international shipping company, a company that was started by her grandfather in his later years. She married a triathlete and Pokemon trainer of average means. Growing up, Amos and his brother and sister would often join their father in his training and grew to love the competition. While Helena and Max were being trained to one day run the business, Amos was never quite interested. His attention was drawn to Pokemon instead. Strange creatures that were part of life, he found them fascinating. He would often travel with his mother to Canalave City to oversee some operations. He loved the trips. The journey there would give him the chance to occasionally spot a wild Pokemon. Sometimes if he was lucky he could spot some swimming around in the harbor. Sure, the Meowth his neighbor had was nice, but these were real Pokemon out in the wild.

At age 15 he decided he wanted to study Pokemon. They interested him, and stories of people like Professor Oak and Professor Rowan fascinated him. They studied Pokemon and used their knowledge to help humanity further their technology, and also to just help people coexist with Pokemon better. Of course his supportive parents, set him up with access to a superb education there in Jubilife, supplemented by what extra materials he occasionally came across in the Canalave Library. However, despite the vast stores of knowledge and talented teachers available to him, he found himself distracted. Time he could have used to study, he instead spent chasing girls or lounging around. Sure, he wanted to learn about Pokemon, but he wanted to actually see them in the wild. Eventually he gave up and announced his intention to travel the world. While his family was disappointed as they didn't see any practical use for exploring and studying wild Pokemon, they were more or less supportive. He paid a good price for a Pokemon egg and eventually hatched an Aipom of his very own. The two have set off together to see the world and the Pokemon in it. Amos hopes to learn what he can, then one day share it with the world. While his siblings did't expect him to last one week outside the city, it's been a month now. That's not to say he's gotten used to it.

Pokemon:
Aipom
So, there's no Pokegear but here are HoloCasters?
I don't see this becoming relevant for a while, but just for curiosity and worldbuilding purposes: What's going on with fossils?
I was originally going to go with communications but it seems like that's not as developed in this world yet. So it'll likely be from intenational shipping. A company three or so generations old. I'll likely have it headquartered in Sinnoh or Unova. Although, I'm thinking approaching this from the point of view of someone who's Arceus's equivalent of an "I go to church sometimes" Christian. Even better in that apparently Arceus itself asked not to be worshiped. I'm still thinking on his actual approach to the religion. Kind of depends on the backstory I come up with i guess. Whether his great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents were devout and how they reacted to Arceus appearing, whether they hammered that into their children and let them choose their own path, how much he enjoys his worldly possessions, etc etc.
<Snipped quote by Prints Avoid> But yeah, going on journey to learn as much as possible about the pokemon world isn't uncommon for aspiring researchers when a formal education isn't financially possible
Actually for this character it is financially possible, lol. I was going to make him a spoiled rich kid who wanted to get out and see things for himself. But yeah, I gotcha. It's always refreshing to have a Pokemon RP where the characters aren't ridiculously knowledgeable about Pokemon. Anyway, I'm working on my CS. Are we all supposed to find our way to Unova for the beginning or what's the deal.
What's the world like in terms of Pokemon research and stuff? Have we got these famous professors around making huge discoveries? I ask because I'm seeing my character as one who wants to get out and do field research on wild Pokemon.
Umm sorry to say this, but I will not be participating after all. The list of universes I'm unfamiliar with got too long for me to be comfortable with. I'm sorry.
Gotcha, gotcha. One other question. Is there a particular reason you left out Kalos?
I'm liking the look of this. You mentioned career battlers aren't so common, and seeing as this is a more realistic setting I'm guessing our characters wouldn't be ten years old venturing out on their own. What kind of characters are we looking at?
What kind of bodyguard we talking? I'm not TheHangedMan or involved in the decision whatsoever. I'm just curious, lol
