Trainer Profile
Character Name: Jameson D Greyknow
Nickname: James, Jim
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Trainer Class: Musician Trainer
Height: 5’ 10” (183cm)
Weight: 190lbs (86kg)
Hair Color & Style: His hair is a dark brown with a hint of a green sheen. It is long enough to fall to his shoulder blades; with one side seeming to cover his right eye. Completely straight and naturally silky enough that many women are jealous when they see it.
Eyes: His eyes are a dark brown with a slight tilt that gives him an almost villainous appearance. Even at their widest from surprise they still seem small in comparison with others. His hair covers his right eye, but this doesn’t hamper his sight. He’s spent so much time having the hair there that he can almost sense if someone is there, making his hair no longer a handicap.
Clothing/Accessories: Most of the time James can be seen wearing a white coat with a high collar and purple accents. He tends to keep it unbuttoned and open to reveal a black tank-top underneath that’s low cut to show some of his chest muscles. Black jeans cover his legs, as well as black shoes that are also good for hiking.
On his back he carries a simple bag with a drawstring that he uses as a handle. In it he carries the simple things needed for camping (food, clothing, a light sleeping bag, flint and steel, and a water canteen), as well as a small drum that has a unique echo to it. On his wrist is a simple iron bracelet with a single jade imbedded in the top. On his hip he carries a small wooden flute in a sling.
General Appearance: Because of his travels and working for his uncle James has developed a tan that completely took over the pasty white of his youth. His body turned from being sticks and bones from barely eating into one in much better shape. Not muscular like a body builder, but more athletic like a marathon sprinter.
In most situations James is known to have a perpetual brooding aura to those who don’t know him. It’s not that he’s actually unhappy; he just has a firm control over his outward emotions due to his upbringing. He still frowns and smiles like most people, but on him they appear a bit more nefarious than normal. When angry his brow would furrow and his lips becomes a thin line, and his brooding aura increases noticeably.
When happy or smiling the look appears a someone who is plotting something villainous. He’s tried to work on it, but no matter what it always looks like the villain gloating or plotting the hero’s demise. So most of the time he keeps his smiles to himself and his Pokemon, but more often than not it creeps onto his lips when he least expects it.
Hometown: Durskrim Town
Personality: Having grown up in the town of Durskrim James is hesitant to trust anyone by nature. Yet despite his reluctance he has a good heart, and often gives people the benefit of a doubt while keeping them at a safe distance. Despite his upbringing he likes to help people until he’s sure that they can help themselves, or they tell him to get lost and mean it. He has gotten pretty good at reading people because of it.
Despite his history one of James’ favorite hobbies is music. Not practicing to preform in front of millions of people, but just a simple enjoyment of playing his music for his own benefit. In fact his music is so important to him that he’s incorporated it into his own style with Pokemon battles. Through training he has been able to teach his Pokemon to hear specific notes that he plays as a way to interpret what he wants to do. He still gives the occasional command for things his notes can’t convey, but most of his battles leaves his human opponents confused.
And he is a very good cook. Having grown up most of his life alone James has learned to cook himself. His first attempts ended up in disaster, but with practice and time he has become almost chef status. Of course, most who try his cooking are him and his Pokemon but still he figures they are better judges of taste than some humans.
History: James was born into a world of misery. He was the son of a dock worker and an ‘entertainer’ close to the Satin Strip, and grew up in a household of poverty. Because of his parent’s jobs he grew up mostly alone, except fort he occasional trip out of the shack he called ‘home’ to go to school or hang out with his friends. However despite his upbringing he always kept a positive outlook on life, and more often than not it kept him from getting beaten up. Who could raise a fist against someone who smiled calmly as they were about to be hit?
Besides the rare occurrence where he could leave James had another thing that kept him sane and happy. His uncle from Cascadia City sent him a package on his 8th birthday. Inside was a strange drum and a small wooden flute along with a letter. ”Dear James, I know the years have been particularly tough and I wish it wasn’t so. My brother can be hard headed, and your mother enjoys the attention. I can’t imagine what you’re experiencing, but I do know a way to make things better. I found that music can lighten even the darkest night, and so I give you these to brighten your life. I hope to hear you play some day, and expect you to show how bright your life has become.”
The gift was a godsend, as even James’ friends had started to become more distance as the darkness of the city weighed on everyone. During the quiet times where he was alone at home he would practice both the drum and the flute. In the beginning he got a lot of yells and pounding on the walls to keep quiet, but as he improved these protests grew less. Eventually, like his uncle said, James was able to bring light to his life and those around him.
This didn’t last long, because on his 16th birthday he received another gift from his uncle. It came after a year of his father being laid off and money had become tight due to his mother’s waning popularity in ‘the business’. At this time James was forbidden to play any of his music, as both his parents wanted to wallow in their misery and give up on life.
However the package that arrived changed things; from bad to worst. In it were four Pokeballs and a note that caused a lot of problems. ”Dear James, it’s been a while since we last saw each other. I hope you are well in this tough time. I’m writing because I want to give you a way out. At this time in a person’s life they need to make a choice; either to stay where they are or strike out on their own. This is my way of letting you strike out and make a name for yourself. You can keep the Pokemon I have sent, or you can release or sell them. The choice is yours, but I hope you and them can bring light once again to those around you.”
James wasn’t there when the package arrived, and his father opened it out of anger and frustration at their predicament. When he read the letter he roared with anger. James managed to hear it fro several blocks away, and he rushed to find out what it was. When he arrived he saw that all of his things, what little he had, was destroyed. His father had broken everything that James had out of anger, and when the young man entered that anger was turned onto him. Suddenly everything that was wrong in their lives was James’ fault; from the losing of his father’s job to his mother’s unattractiveness.
Before it was normal for his father to lash out in anger, but this time was the only time James felt himself in real danger. His father ordered that the Pokemon be sold to the local black market, and the money be given to his father for ‘wages owed’. And then James was to leave and never return. Out of fear James agreed, and took the Pokeballs as well as the few items he had left.
However instead of taking them to the black market as asked James headed out of town; traveling through hitchhiking to reach his uncle. Once there he found that things were completely different from his father’s brother. Where poor was normal in his life James found wealth. Not riches, but being well off seemed like riches. Where shouting was normal he was met with soft confident words. Where music was forbidden, here it was welcomed. His uncle showed him a life completely different from what he knew, and James drank it in.
James stayed there for several years just spending time working for his uncle and healing wounds that he never knew he had. Once he felt strong enough mentally he knew he had to go back and face his demons. And so with the Pokemon his uncle gave him James bade his new life goodbye; not as an ending of his new life but a step to a new beginning.
