Age: 23, July 16th
Gender: Male
Appearance: being more on the short and stocky side of builds, David ends up standing at about 5'8", give or take a few centimeters. He has broad shoulders, a square jaw, and evident muscles from keeping his body in shape. He keeps his hair in a relatively short cut, though it still tends to stick up in a cal-lick in the front, and is a medium sandy brown in color streaked in a few places by a lighter almost blonde. Below somewhat thick eyebrows, his eyes are a more rounded shape with light blue irises shot through with a handful of light golden brown spots. He has full lips for a man, a long nose, and broad calloused hands. When he smiles, A dimple pops out in his right cheek.
David's wardrobe tends to lean more towards comfort and ease rather than fashion. He highly favors A simple pair of jeans or khakis paired with solid colored cotton T-shirts. These Will usually be one of three colors: black, dark blue, or his favorite shade of teal. A sturdy pair of hiking boots, a wide dark leather bracelet tooled with fern leaves around his left wrist, and a well loved canvas backpack complete his ensemble.
Personality: Normally, he is a fairly happy go lucky person, willing to take life as it happens. But he has a downside of having a short temper and a stubborn streak as long as a mile. He gets pretty obsessive when he has a project or goal he is working towards and doesn't know when to say no, Even when faced with impossible odds. He has a tendency to be a bit sarcastic at times and loves having something to joke about. This usually has the tendency for him to be slow to take things seriously, but becomes almost obsessively stern and to the point when the seriousness is realized.
Bio: The only Child of Clyde and Akiko Hawthorn, David grew up with his parents trying to walk a fine line between spoiling him rotten and giving him a good work ethic. As a result, he was given almost anything he asked for, but was required to earn it's keep. His father being an engineer and his mother a Pokémon breeder, he learned quickly to both love and appreciate technology and Pokémon alike.
David was born in the region of Sinnoh and lived a relatively comfortable life in the heart of Jubilife City, Though he wasn't old enough to appreciate it at the time. With his father being one of the top scientists in the Pokétch Company, he was exposed to the latest technology on a frequent basis. His father often tested ideas and gadgets with David, explaining how they worked and what the purpose was supposed to be. On the other hand, he often was privileged to accompany his mother to work as well, Becoming intimately familiar with rare Pokémon and what did or didn't qualify as good qualities to have in a variety of species. Consequently, this started a fire in David at a young age, fueling a dream of becoming a Pokémon trainer as soon as possible.
His parents had other plans. They were both very protective of their child, his mother more so than his father, To the point where she was most likely a bit too overprotective. She strongly disagreed with the culture of Sinnoh that encouraged children as young as ten to submit an application to become a trainer and easily convinced her husband to except a job opening offered to him in the region of Kanto. So shortly after David's fifth birthday, The small family moved to their new home in The sprawling metropolis city of Saffron. Barely a year had gone by before his mother discovered that the troubling trend of sending out mere children was also strong in her home region and efforts were immediately made to move from Saffron as soon as possible.
Eventually, the Hawthorns settled in the bustling central city of Edenvale, his father settling in at the Eden Corporation and his mother establishing her own daycare center and breeding services. The best part about living in the Akasia region for them: no one was allowed to become a Pokémon trainer until they were legally an adult. Fears of their son traveling out into the wilderness alone put aside for the moment, Clyde and Akiko began grooming David for a promising career as a scientist like his father.
And they probably would have succeeded too if David hadn't made a best friend out of Harper Bailey, a strong young trainer that had recently set out on her own challenge and commissioned David's mother for an Eevee... witnessing her fire and excitement about traveling around Akasia rekindled an almost forgotten flame of a similar desire within David. Gradually, but steadily, he was completely consumed by the desire to leave almost everything he knew behind and travel on his own personal Pokémon journey, overcoming trials and challenges along the way. And though his parents pleaded, begged, and even made outrageous bargains, David's stubborn streak would not allow him to give up on his remembered dream and he determinedly pushed forward and submitted an application to become a Pokémon trainer. His parents did eventually except this inevitability, even offering him one of his mother's Eevee, But David has reached a resolution about following the customs of what he considers to be his home region, traveling to Karringo, the Home of Professor Jacaranda, in order to have his very first Pokémon partner choose him.
