Jameson "JT" Tommel

[thomasjuntil]

Trainer Profile

Character Name: Jameson Tommel

Nickname: JT (but don’t call him that when he’s angry)

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Trainer Class: Runner

Height: 5’8”

Weight: 165

Hair Color & Style: Black hair with natural highlights from his time in the sun. His hair is usually wind-swept without any real attempt of fixing it. Relatively short, it does not need much upkeep in the first place.

Eyes: A rich caramel color lightened by exposure to the sun.

Clothing/Accessories: While on his runs, he simply wears a black tank top on his upper body. He doesn’t want much restriction on his movements as he tends to do a lot of free running. His legs however, are covered by jeans, deep blue in color. These jeans are made of a fairly stretchy material allowing him to do his moves as he runs. He tends to have a fairly tight chain necklace that is loose enough to not choke him but not loose enough to hit him in the face while he runs. His hands are either covered by black fingerless gloves when he is running or full on gloves when he feels threatened. If he was not running, then he wore a light blue dress shirt with some dress slacks to walk around in as he liked to feel a little classy, although he would sometimes leave the shirt unbuttoned or the sleeves rolled up.

General Appearance: An interesting mix of speed and power, JT has the lean body of a runner that also includes the muscles of someone who trained his body for more physical activity. He had a natural air about him of being someone who has his feet firmly on the ground, at least in the physical sense. He has a couple of scars on his chest and back from the training that he’s endured that he keeps hidden by his clothing.

Hometown: Cascadia City

Personality: JT is someone who hates confrontation and is one who was raised in such an environment that he had to learn how to read people around him and what their moods are. He listens intently because he wants to make sure that there aren’t any danger words that he needs to be concerned about, he watches intently to make sure that body language follows what the words are saying. Because of this, he tends to hear more than what is being said. He avoids as many confrontation situations as he can because he doesn’t want to deal with the repercussions of having Jameson come out in public. He likes the quiet and relative solitude of his runs and that permeates throughout the rest of his life as he also avoids loud people or areas as much as he can. He is naturally curious about things that are not forced down his throat and now away from his parents, he will do anything to avoid going back.

Jameson, on the other hand, is not someone who could ever be considered social. He goes straight to the heart of the matter and says whatever is on his mind from the beginning, yet is strategic enough to not say something that will put him in a disadvantageous situation. In battles, he is callous, sadistic and mischievous. He will sometimes play a seemingly straightforward match only to have a deeper strategy in play or have what seems to be a very complicated plan just to do the Pokemon equivalent of punching his opponent in the mouth. Once the situation has been neutralized, he will mentally retreat… Or at least, that’s what he has recently done.

History: JT has always been an intuitive man and fell into the trap of not applying himself during his studies because he was so far ahead that he felt as there was nothing to keep his interest, neglecting the idea of doing any type of independent study. He was raised by parents who were strong Pokemon Trainers who used him almost like a eugenics program, never loving each other but believing their genes would produce a child to be a Pokemon battler of savant levels. His upbringing ended up being a study of frustrations and borderline abuse as he ended up dealing with parents who would work him into exhaustion working through strategies and developing a killer instinct using their own Pokemon as surrogates. However, he never quite developed that as he thought it was too “much.” So after a grueling four day marathon of his parents going through strategies, attacks and types where they didn’t let him sleep until he got “tough” but they went to sleep when they got tired; something in JT’s mind snapped. Suddenly, he was no longer hesitant about going for a finishing blow but now pushing for it. The strategies that were taught to him were expanded and implemented against his parents and he was finally allowed to sleep.

But now, his parents knew that there was the mean streak in him and kept pushing on him. It didn’t take a four day marathon, but it did take two days of berating and shouting to get that switch flipped again. They realized that they needed to keep the pressure up and redoubled their efforts. JT’s mind learned to switch immediately whenever there was any hint of aggression towards him because of how his parents are acting towards him.

The switch became a fully formed personality that refused to be called JT and would only use his legal name of Jameson; that would be straight and to the point without caring for repercussions. Subtle changes of language, like not using contractions in his speech and being a little more formal in his tone and speech were noticed.

However, JT wasn’t gone, just repressed for his mind realized that it was either to split or to crack completely, and he started going on runs. He needed to get away from his parents and what was happening in his mind and what was the best thing to do? Run. He ended up becoming a marathon runner because he wanted to stop thinking and spending hours running were the best relief to what was plaguing him. His parents had initially trained his body for strength to keep up with the trials of their Pokemon training but now with the runs, he started slimming down a bit until he had developed a muscled runner’s body, although still a teenager’s body.

His parents started realizing that whenever it was JT; he would be gone on his runs but whenever their son would come back, they would be able to continue training because it would only be Jameson who would come back. Jameson enjoyed the pain and destruction, JT only wanted peace. So they would use JT’s runs as a chance to get rested for the training program that would happen when Jameson would eventually come back.

Throughout his training, JT never wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer as he thought that the high-level Trainers were all like his parents and he didn’t want any of that. It wouldn’t be until his first adventure that his resolve would change.

All righty Thomas, my apologies for the wait. Let's get rolling! 

Overall, it looks like your profile is very well along, though you do have two minor errors in your Pokemon section. You appear to have left the (Pokemon Name) part in the header instead of deleting it, and you also still have Litten's EXP gauge at 0, instead of the minimum amount of EXP it would require to be at level 5. 

However, before I give my approval, I do want to give you a slight heads up about the content of Jameson's Personality and History. It appears that your character will be dealing with some very intense and heavy issues such as mental health and child abuse, and I wanted to ask if you were sure you felt up to dealing with those in a mature, responsible way instead of using them for cheap drama. I apologize if this comes off as rude or overly questioning of your abilities, since that's not my intention. I just want to make sure you don't make a decision on dealing with these topics lightly, is all. If you feel completely sure about dealing with them, then you should be good to go on my end.
