Trainer Profile

Character Name: Rheneas Loughty
Nickname: Rhey
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Trainer Class: Backpacker

Height: 6'1"
Weight: 183 lbs
Hair Color & Style: He has averagely medium brown ruffled and wavy hair that almost reaches down towards his neck. Although at times he covers it ups whenever the climate gets too cold on normal occasions it isn't covered up by anything. Although it's wavy in appearance it ain't the softest hair around and can feel quite rugged if one dared passed their fingers throughout it.
Eyes: Relatively common, Rheneas eye color as of birth has been a silvery shade of blue. His eyes always look as if he's awake and ready for his next adventure, giving of a friendly vibe towards passersby indicating that he's just another friendly hiker along the path. He has relatively thick and brown bushy eyebrows which compliment his eyes.
Clothing/Accessories: The main attire worn by Rheneas consist of a red and black colored flannel jacket with tufts of fur scattered around it along in which he conceals a blank white colored shirt underneath and a large darker colored colored backpack on his back that somewhat match with his boots. Paired up with his shirt is also dark gray colored pair of jeans that he tends to wear across most of his outfit choices. Tied to his backpack are flairs that hold onto his 6 party of Pokémon where he ever get them for quick access if he's ever challenged to a Pokémon battle.
General Appearance: Rheneas is a considerably normal built man for his age with the exception of having a slightly chubbier stomach as well as rounder cheeks due to him snacking on berries often but can only be noticed without his attire which doesn't make him stand out too much compared to other trainers he can end up coming across. Due to always walking about he does tend to keep his bodily figure considerably the same throughout his adventure and would look essentially the same from beginning to end. He looks like a bit younger than what his age would let you believe still having a relatively young looking face for someone of his stature and size, it's simple to confuse him for an older teen rather than the adult he is. Due to always being quite covered up he tends to keep his pale looking skin tone which he also very much keeps by spending his time in the shade and avoiding direct sunlight. Like his personality Rheneas often has a very casual stance most often than not look up towards the trees and even the clouds with his hands being held in the back of his neck.

Hometown: Wisteur Town, East Godai
Personality: Rheneas is an upbeat boy always itching for travel as much as sampling foreign cuisines with his partner Pokémon. Rheneas is very laid back and prefer to avoid any sort of heated up conflict or argument, preferring them to be resolved quickly and efficiently but usually just by a Pokémon battle if he could choose it to be the case. Although he can be a bit of a mess hiking up mountains and scouring throughout the plains he is better known for being quite the eater like his partner, not being the best cook himself he makes do by attempting to teach himself the basics. He's often seen humming to himself whenever he roams across the lands and on rare occasions even what seems to be dancing. Rheneas is quick to accept company even if it's just temporary he much enjoys the presence of other people and Pokémon themselves. Whenever he takes a break for the day and has nothing else to do he spends his free time experimenting with recipes in hopes to create some new combination that could blow the socks off of anyone eating it.

When it comes to strangers and other people, Rheneas can be quite friendly towards them and offer up supplies if he has any left although his partner Pokémon does tend to dislike the thought of food going away from him. He tends to come off as a bit loud at times and even a tad spontaneous due to him trying to impress his guests that it often feels a bit awkward towards them. Rheneas loves seeing different types of cooking that is done in different areas as they can vary drastically from region to region, whether it's cooking on a stove, oven, cauldron or even on a fireplace all greatly catch his eye and with it tries to learn as much as he can from them in order to use them himself if he ever needs to. He finds all types of Pokémon fascinating and none truly tend to scare him all too much which usually ends up biting him later on both literally and figuratively as he does tend to underestimate the danger some of the Pokémon tend to pose towards humans such as the likes of Ariados, Primeapes, Beedrills, Gyarados or even Electrodes. 

Although he can be quite laid back one of Rheneas's biggest fears is getting lost without hope of finding his way back, main type of locations he would avoid are caves and things of the likes as they can end up being very expansive and cluttered. Rheneas doesn't particularly know how long he'll be setting out and more what will he do once he's done and once he thinks he's done with his journey his dream is to be able to take over his family's bakery and using all of his knowledge he is able to gain throughout it make a place where foods and sweets for all sorts of people and Pokémon from throughout the regions to enjoy. Outside his own family, Rheneas spends his time socializing with connections from his high school time and doing all sorts of stuff to pass the time together, his favorite being playing board games with them. He doesn't exactly view himself as highly and overall does what he does mainly to satisfy himself, he doesn't particularly think he can be a strong trainer himself as he was never really invested in it throughout his youth but hopes to be able to get the hang of it. As time passed however his connections began getting smaller but a small handful have stayed by him.

History: Rheneas comes from one of the many several families running a bakery in his hometown of Wisteur Town albeit a considerably average one. As a child Rheneas hadn't had any particular troubles growing up as for what it seemed nothing was all too eventful throughout it which led him to make some great connections in his school that although he doesn't keep much contact in the present day he does hold in high regards. His family much like his social life is quite upbeat and normal and Rheneas gets along great with both of his parents, siblings and even his grandparents. Although his family would prefer him stay in his hometown and help with the family business he'd much rather travel throughout the world and learn more about the culinary arts himself and maybe even expand his knowledge of food and improve the family's bakery. Only one he feels he has learned enough and feels accomplished with his adventure does he plan of aiding his family in their endeavors but nothing is going to let him give up on pursuing his goals and even if some of his family don't particularly agree with his decision he has his mind set and is prepared for whatever comes across his path in the times to come.

Rheneas in that time of his life spend a lot of his efforts working hard on his studies to succeed in his school life and on the side did some minor practices to hone his skills on survival, if he were to spend a lot of time out in the world he couldn't just go out willy nilly had had thought to himself. When the right amount of time and after many years Rheneas had finally finished his school studies and had graduated and dedicated his time on even a higher form of studies graduating there as well. Approaching his family after much time to prepare and much to say he expressed to them what he had wanted and that it was the time for it. Worried of his safety at the time his parents recommended him became a trainer while he was at it to at least have some sort of company and protection. He hadn't considered having a Pokémon with him as he never much interacted with them as much as other kids and teens living in his area but never the less he heeded his parents word and the obstacle ahead for him was to get himself a Pokémon License at least just in case he ever needed one and he thought it could be fun even if he was considerably late in getting one being in his early adulthood. 

He took a couple months to get it just right with his studying, training and working he managed to obtain one in no time being also given a PokéDex alongside it and his family giving him some other materials like a map, currency and even a couple Poké Balls. He could feel he was nearing his time of departure and only had but some time before he could set out into the world but he still had much to do mainly by now being the quite obvious one that he felt was required, catching a Pokémon. He didn't know what type of Pokémon he could need, a fun one, tough one, maybe even a large one. The thoughts clouded his mind but soon began realizing his area didn't have much variety as his mind could craft, catching a large Pokémon would be considerably hard and dangerous for someone without one. After that time Rheneas had set off in the nearby fields to capture a Pokémon was all he could think about and not waste all of the Poké Balls had had been given. He managed to encounter some but alas were either a little too skittish and ended up running away too quickly or even too aggressive and try to attack him back leaving him to reconsider his tactic if he even had one to begin with.

Not exactly happy with the results of his attempts to catch a Pokémon, Rheneas has decided to head back and clear his mind and decided to ask around for advice throughout his family and friends. He met up with one of his more Pokémon focused and closest friend and asked him about it, he had already gotten a couple of his own as he has been around since his childhood visiting relatives far and wide and visiting regions with his own relatives leaving Rheneas to believe he would be better equipped to guide him and teach him a thing or two about catching them. He had given him some of the info he had already known prior such as weakening them before attempting to throw a ball at them and also using different types of them depending on the scenario he was in. With the lack of resources however none were much of an option for him right about now, he thought for a moment trying to wrap onto his head and see if anything nearby could he him but nothing could brainstorm onto his head, he considered asking his family for help but he didn't want to pester them or ask for too much so he decided not to confront them about it.

His friend had given him a pat on the shoulder coming up with an idea of his own, he had some Pokémon he had caught or been given to himself in his younger years. He could think of a perfect one that could be given to him that can be both useful and at the very least easy to handle for a work in progress trainer such as himself. He would take a look at his PC and take a look around it and make a decision for the following day. This had caught Rheneas somewhat off guard as he didn't think about just being given one, initially thinking catching one would help him more but he wouldn't let an opportunity such as that one pass him. A bit worried about having to own him but at the same time really hyped up to see what Pokémon could he find fitting for him. He couldn't sleep that night as the thought clouded his head there were so many possibilities more than even he could think about as the world was truly surrounded by all kinds of Pokémon and all so different from one another, He thought about them and how each one could work with him even if his knowledge of them was limited as he never really studied the species all that much.

The following day he made some of his final preparations using some of his allowance to buy some minor stuff for his upcoming journey such as some clothes that he could use for various weathers and even a big enough backpack to carry all of his stuff, although the one he ended up picking felt a bit overkill. He met up with his friend once more in the same place as last time and noticing all the stuff he was carrying with him noticed that he was indeed going to the world. He laughed at him for not telling him sooner about it but managed to connect the dots and figure out that's what he was planning with all the sudden talk about Pokémon. He handed him over the Poké Ball and asked him not to open it until he set off as he wanted to keep it as a surprise now. Rheneas agreed and thanked him for his help wishing to be able see him not too long from now at least so he could rate his progress as he becomes a trainer. Telling him he'd make sure to keep in touch for more tips and if he ever never questions to give him a call as he'd always try and see what he could do. Saying farewell to him and his family not long after, Rheneas now prepared for his adventure finally headed off his hometown to see all the challenges that will await him.

Hello there, Heartsmith!

Glad to see you have decided to join us on the journey. I'll be your first mod, so let's go right to the point - your app!

Firstly - the appearance. I don't see any particular problem with that! There are a few questionable choices of words and sentences here and there, but I'd say it's mostly understandable and well-imaginable.

Now - the personality. I think it is a pretty solid base, but I would like you to expand on a few things - does Rheneas fear anything? Does he have any goals besides trying out cuisine? What about his plans for the future? Will he always travel, or does he maybe not even think about this? Does he have any people he often talks to except for family? Maybe enemies? I think all of these questions would add more depth to Rheneas, but feel free to put even more detail and answer more questions that the ones I've asked here.

Let's get to the elephant in the room - the history. The first parts of the history are pretty good, in my opinion, but I fear your second to last paragraph has some information that doesn't really add up with the site lore. You have chosen Skwovet as your starter pokémon, which is okay, since it is on the starter list, but please, keep in mind, as is stated on the starter list, Calta pokémon (gen 8 pokémon) do not exist in wild Godai, only on Calta. Therefore your character could not have met a Skwovet in the wild like that. I am very sorry to inform you that you either have to rewrite your story of meeting said Skwovet or pick another starter. The choice is up to you.

Moving on to the final section of your application - the pokémon section. Now, if you choose to replace Skwovet, you will need to rewrite and recalculate this part, but if you choose to keep it, here are some improvements - first of all, you don't have your total amount of stats written down (which should be 50), so please add that. Apropos stats, you have chosen 10% for the speed stat, but I fear you might have miscalculated a bit, because 10% of 50 is 5, not 7, so you will need to readjust the numbers a bit. Finally, in your moves list, the numbers before the moves should signify the level at which the pokémon learnt said moves (as is written in the pokédex), so yours should be 1., 1., 5.

Other than that, I recommend proofreading the application one more time to get rid of all the sly typos in there, and then bump us on Discord again! I'll gladly look at your app again to check if everything is alright then~

Thanks for choosing Godai! We hope you remain patient and diligent so we can get your beautiful stories to light!

Hello again~

So, let's get right to the point and address all the changes, shall we?

The additions to the personality section are fine, in my opinion. I think it is a good amount to be able to truly know the basics of the mentality of a person, which is exactly what we need to RP~

The history edits are also fine. You have changed the lore inconsistency so that it is now aligned with the history of Godai~ It does still seem a bit improbable, but it is possible, which is all I require, so you are fine on that front!

Now to the pokémon section - the moveset is fixed, which is good! As well as the total amount of stats! But I fear you have forgotten to adjust your stats a bit. While the speed is now correct, you have 2 stat points you can still spend to reach that amount of 50 (since you now have 48 points spent only). If you can just quickly adjust that by spending those 2 points on a stat/s (other than speed, of course), I am fine with giving you my approval and letting another mod onto this~

Please, remain patient and motivated so we can make this work together!

Have a nice rest of your stay,
Fury~

[Fury20]

Ok, I am satisfied with the changes you've made and the work put into this application~

Thank you for your patience and hard work, this is a 1/2 approval from me.

Please be patient as another mod will get to it shortly~

Hey Heartsmith! Glad to have you on Godai. I shall be your second evaluator, and I do have one tiny little nitpick. Technically, Godai has secondary school instead of high school, and secondary school is optional. This can be found in IC Trivia. This isn't a major issue, however, just something I wanted to point out just to make sure we are clear on that. As long as we are, I'd say we are looking pretty good, so...

Your character application has now been accepted! Please make sure to create a signature of your character. Once that is done, you are now free to RP! If you made a personal mistake with your character, please submit a modification process involving a revamp.
