Eyes: His eyes are mostly hazel, with a small green ring towards the center of his irises. His eyes are round. They gently slit whenever he smiles. He wears widely framed black glasses that rests on his nose. He only uses them to read, but wears them all the time so he won't lose them.
Clothing/Accessories: Gil does not dress to impress, and he would rather stay home in his pajamas if he could. He prefers to be comfortable and he is never seen without his signature olive green hoodie. The tee-shirts he wears underneath often have a logo or print on them. He wears dark shirts though it also depends on his current mood. When outside, he wears jeans and loosely fitting sneakers. Sometimes, if it is warm, he will wear shorts. Gil does this to show off his socks. He has many different kinds, with his gulpin socks being his favorite.
General Appearance: Gil has always been on the chubbier side. In addition to his height, he has been given the title of 'biggie' by a few. Gil is round about the waist and the shoulders. His face is also quite round, with a double chin and dimples on his cheeks. Gil is known to have a gentle air and demeanor about him. His face is usually relaxed. He doesn't smile often though his dimples are prominent when he does. Gil also does not have many other outstanding physical qualities. People easily overlook him when he passes by. Gil hates making eye contact with others. Thus, he walks with his hands in his pockets and his shoulders hunched, hoping to refrain from engaging in uncomfortable conversations.
Hometown: Cadence, Central Godai
Personality:
{Personality}Gil hates being judged by others. For these reasons, he prefers to stay home and out of sight. He may appear to others as shy and unreceptive, but he only puts up this facade to prevent his feelings from being broken. Deep within, however, he is an outgoing individual that sets his sights high. Sometimes a little too high. The only thing keeping him from fulfilling his dreams are his insecurities, his anger, and his unconventional way of handling things.
Gil is constantly solidifying his view on the world. He was raised to never take anything for granted. His family's motto is "Change what you know you can. Never settle for less." This has only partially translated to Gil, however. Gil disdains conversation with others that are not geared toward a specific purpose. He hates small talk for this reason, in addition to being horrible at it. Gil also has intense ideals. The teen is resolutely pacifist and will not tolerate any violence whatsoever. Coupled with this sense of justice, Gil can also get very irate and vocal whenever anyone directly stands up to his ideals. He has a slight anger and stress disorder. Gil also has a mild case of autism and finds it slightly difficult to understand what another person is feeling and often feels misinterpreted himself. Gil has learned to channel his anger through various activities, but it still gets the better of him more often than not. This creates a social barrier for Gil and has prevented him from making too many lasting friends. The friends he does have, he is very appreciative of.
Regarding pokemon battles, he cannot stand the idea of two creatures fighting until the other one is knocked unconscious. To Gil, the idea is unnatural, cruel, and horrid because so many people appeal to it. He wants to eliminate the need for fighting and wants to replace pokemon training with simple, less harmful avenues. When Gil encounters disharmony he does not shy away from it, but is often at a disadvantage when trying to fix it, due to his anger and mild autism. Gil also does not take criticism easily, but he is altruistic and tries to find the best in what others are trying to convey.
Gil has an incredible memory. He enjoys noting down the mannerisms of others, and finds enjoyment in being able to recall facts about the most trivial things. He is always ready to spit out a fact. He likes history because of the different stories and people associated with it. He also likes science because it is concrete and is not as fickle or confusing as people turn out to be. Technology in particular is Gil's best friend. He likes planning ahead for the future, but often has unrealistic ideas of what life is like.
At his core, Gil just wants the world to run smoothly to follow his ideals. He is loyal to his family and to his closest friends. He would never betray their trust. Gil is caring and thoughtful in the way he approaches others. Often, this may mean that he may not approach a person at all since he has difficulty expressing himself through his words. He prefers to express himself through actions, specifically through his various hobbies. Gil likes to receive presents that are useful and applicable. He also appreciates anything antique and full of history. He himself likes to keep small momentos from all the places he visits and stores them in a box in his room.

History:
{Birth}Gilbert Louis Stevenson was born on October 25th in 182 AG. His family was a well-off middle-class family, working amidst the bustle of Cadence, Central Godai. Gilbert's mother, Darcie Hurst, worked as a seamstress for a new line of designer dresses, and Gil's father, Brent Stevenson, owned a small pokeball seal company. Together, this unlikely duo raised Gil and his older brother the best they could, providing them an enjoyable lifestyle amidst the boom and buzz of the city.
Gil's parents were married in the year 181 AG. During their first year as a married couple, the two companies that Darcie and Brent worked for offered them better positions and pay, however, Brent was called to work at another branch of his company in Cascadia. The long distance relationship caused the Stevensons to drift apart. Darcie even began to fear her husband deserting her, after receiving a call from him one night and being addressed with a different, female name. At this point she knew that she was with Brent's child. She wanted to disclose this information to him, but refused to if he did not come home. He did not speak to her for a few months but continued to send her money. The only force that kept Darcie going was Brent's younger sister, Cleia, whose husband had left her with the child. She and Darcie bonded over their experiences. Cleia encouraged Darcie to keep faith in her husband.
The double-edged fateful day happened when Cleia, three months ahead of Darcie in her pregnancy, became terminally ill. Brent dropped everything and returned to Cadence. Cleia gave birth to a brimming and beautiful son, Lucian, but died in giving birth to him. Lucian, Gil's older brother was the force to strengthen Brent and Darcie's marriage, for with Cleia's last dying breath, she entrusted her son to her brother and sister-in-law. In that room, Gil's parents accepted the child, and renewed their wedding vows. Three months later, Gilbert was then born into their renewed and reconciled union.

In that room, Gil's parents accepted the child, and renewed their wedding vows. Three months later, Gilbert was then born into their renewed and reconciled union.
{Childhood}Life was not easy for the Stevenson's after Brent gave up his job, however, but they pulled through. Lucian and Gil were placed into the public schooling system of Godai. There they gained the basics of their education. Being in the same grade as his brother proved to be difficult for Gil. Each assignment, project, and simple greeting had to be a competition between the two. To Lucian, everything seemed to come easy. He was smart, attractive, and had the charisma to tie it all together. Gil was intelligent, but lacked the latter two. His favorite subjects were Godain history, science and art, but for the sake of competition, he pretended to enjoy all the other subjects, with the exception of Physical Education. Lucian bore no ill will toward his brother but took on a silent air of arrogance whenever anyone compared the two of them. Gil tried his best to do better than his brother, all to make his parents proud, since he was their "true son" or he liked to call himself, to reassure that his parents still liked him. Gil saw every achievement that Lucian reached as his brother's way of sapping the attention Gil would have received if he were an only child.
The more advanced years of elementary school caused more misery for Gil. He spent his hours studying for subjects he did not really care about, all while Lucian seemed to learn it all right-away in class. Gil's jealousy also made him more anti-social. Instead of trying to make friends, Gil would see himself as lame in comparison to Lucian and felt no need to even try. His group of friends was limited only to a select few. Even then, he was not close to many of them. It was not until the sixth grade, when Gil decided to join the tech club at his school, that he bumped into Martin Docker. The rock-loving, messy-haired teen soon became Gil's best friend. Together they would play video games and talk about the various new tech that Cobalt began to manufacture. Martin and Gil also shared a love for food. It was Martin's parents that gave Gil a pokemon egg for his 12th birthday, right before the two of them started the seventh grade. Despite his parents' minor objections, Gil was able to keep the pokemon egg.
Around the same time, Gil's parents began to take care of his younger cousin, Darcie's sister's daughter, Gracie Dufour. Gracie's parents, Emilie and Abel Dufour were often busy with their daytime jobs, and asked for the Stevensons' assistance in providing care for their daughter. Gil and Gracie became friends instantly. Gil had always wanted a little sister, and in return the seven year old reacted positively to Gil's stories, and the time and attention he gave her. Through Gracie's help, Gil was able to hatch and take care of the pokemon egg. She named the Gulpin, Schmidt.
Gracie also sympathized a lot with Gil, not with Lucian. Gil has always had a reduced ability to control his anger. He never became physical, but would often seethe or lock himself up in his room whenever he was irritated. If approached in this state, Gil would retort harshly and vocally, but he would always try his best to simmer down if Gracie was visiting. She always had the right words to say and essentially did not want to see her 'big brother' in such a state. Gracie and Martin's reassuring presences helped Gil through his mandatory schooling years.

{Aspirations}Nearing the end of elementary school, Gil's self-esteem plummeted, despite having these two positive presences in his life. Gil had never given up on the competition between him and Lucian, but upon realizing that their school life together was about to end, Gil felt lost. When the time came to pick a career, Gil had no clue what he wanted to do. Lucian, as usual, was on top of his game. He wanted to specialize in pokemon technology research, taking upon the dream that their father Brent had given up on long ago. This bothered Gil to no end. He was jealous that his fake-brother always had to be the favorite, but there was no way he would pick the same career path.
As usual, he went to Martin and Gracie for their help. Martin was torn between living a life of a computer hacker, or a traveling trainer/rockstar. He would not make a decision until Gil made one, however. Gracie, with her wise words, told Gil to follow his dream of being a Historian and a pokemon chef. She knew how strongly Gil felt about these subjects, and especially wanted to see her cousin save the world as a superstar chef that knew everything about the past. Gil was softened by Gracie's response, but it was his dad's words that eventually moved Gil to make a decision. His father stated that he would respect any decision that Gil would make, even if it were to not make a decision.
At this, Gil returned to his room and stared at the posters on his wall. He sat upside-down on his bed and stared at the window. Right above it (or below, from his perspective) were his two favorite posters. The one on the left depicted Queen Joo Niwa sitting on her throne in majestic garments, during a time of peace, just after she united the five nations into one. The poster on the right was a picture of Gil's favorite restaurant, Bouffeaux-cellence. Fresh, fancy, and of the highest quality. He closed his eyes, keeping his attention onto the posters. With a fwump, he tumbled off his bed and opened his eyes. His gaze landed on the restaurant, and that decided it.
Thus, Gil waited until their graduation day. When the gowns went on, the ceremony dragged, and the hats were thrown into the air, Gil elbowed Martin in the side. He told him that he would be taking a gap-year to tour the region of Godai, especially to taste the nationwide cuisine. Martin responded, "Buckle up, kid. We're seeing the world!".
