Name: Jack Jagger Gender: Male Date of Birth: November 12, Age 18
Appearance: jack's height is pretty formidable, being more than 6'05". it's thanks to that he usually hits his had in the top of the doorframes and suffers from constant headaches. his weight is average, though he's skinnier than normal due to his tall frame and poor appetite. through years of living on the streets, fighting for survival, jack aquired a muscular build and strong immune sysem.
jack's slightly tanned since he spends most of his time outdoors under the sun. numerous stab wounds and scars cover his upper body except his face. the largest and nastiest one is on his back, running from his left shoulder blade to hisright thigh. he recieved it from a trainer's scyther that mistook him for a robber. after the misunderstanding was cleared, the trainer apologized and offer to pay for his hospital bills, but jack refused.
jack has short, messy black hair and a small, scruffy, black goatee.
he has faint shadows under his eyes due to his constant lack of sleep. people would find his golden eyes charming if his appearance didn't remind others of a psychotic murderer.
his thin lips are mostly twisted into a frown, revealing his surprisingly white teeth. he likes to brush his teeth everyday.
as it was mentioned before, jack is a tall young man. his limbs are long too to match his height. due to breaking his arms a lot of times before the joints in them let out popping and cracking sounds sometimes.
he's not too picky when it comes to clothing though he prefers them in dark colors. he's especially fond of hoodies and trainers. since he hates the hot, in summer tends to walk around half naked, only wearing grey, baggy shorts. when the temperature drops and it gets very cold, he puts on a dark blue parka and a simple, black muffler.
he has two golden earrings in both of his ears he got from an old friend as a gift for his 16th birthday. now he's keeping it as a memento to remind him of that dead friend. he's arms are covered in strange tattoos. he has DEATH written on both his hands, one letter per finger.
History: jack never met his parents. the only thing he knew about them was that they were living somewhere in saffron city. since he wasn't planned and they didn't want to raise him, his parents got rid of him as soon as he was born. They dropped him off in a large orphanage in the city and disappeared without even looking back. the orphanage wasnÍ't a bad place. the children got proper food, loving care and the whole place had a nice atmosphere. but jack hated it. he felt like he was suffocating in there. this only got worser with each passing day until the young, 6 years old jack decided to escape. unfortunately, he didn't think things through and suddenly found himself in a big city with no money, no place he could call home, no nothing. he was alone. all alone in saffron.
jack spent the next 9 years living on the streets, searching through dumpsters for food, mugging people and doing shady jobs for strange people for little pay. he got into a lot of fights with the nearby gangs and almost died each time. since he didn't have money to get his wounds treated, he had to do it all on his own. there were times when he had to drag his battered and bloody body to the hospital, because his injuries were too much for him to handle alone.
when he wasn't fighting for his survival, jack studied. he frequently nseaked into a large library, where he would ead all kinds of books. luckily for the boy, the librarian was a kind and understanding man. he let jack read any book he wanted without restraint. the old man cared so much for the homeless kid, he let him sleep in the library a few times and even bought him proper food. jack felt indebted to the librarian and helped out with anything he could around the big library.
3 years passed and jack's life got a little better. he was no longer attacked by the gangs since he crushed them a long time ago. at least the more troublesome ones. when he got rid of them, the rest left him alone, too afraid of the strong boy to mess with him. he even got himself a proper job somehow. though the old librarian died a few years ago, he still visited the library. even so, jack felt empty. there was something he wanted to do ever since he was a snotty brat and that was Pokémon training. when he was younger, he kept fantasizing about ging on long journeys filled with adventures, side by side with his Pokémon or epic battles where he would always come out victorious. it was his heart's deepest desire when he was little. but now as he grown into a bitter and stoic adult, he slowly forgot about this. jack decided he might as well try his luck at it. he wanted it so badly when he was small. it might not be too bad. not in this hateful region though. he had too many terrible memories about it. there was a place called cheyenne somewhere far away. that would be the perfect place for a new start. with his few blongings packed away, he left saffron and headed towards the cheyenne region.
Interactions with Pokemon: jack didn't interact with Pokémon too much. he was too busy striving for survival to play around with the odd critters. there was a scraggy and a growlithe in the city that kept harassing him though. they always stole his things and ate his food while he was gone to search for a job. jack never admitted it out loud, but they were good company. it was never boring with them around. it felt like the Pokémon liked him too. there were a few times when they brought the boy food when he was really starving and couldn't find anything besides rotten apples. he was really grateful to them those times and split the food with them. after a while a young trainer came to saffron city to challenge sabrina. when he saw the scraggy and the growlithe he sent out his sandlash to catch them. after he brutally beat them up he used twp ultra balls and caught them. jack was silently watching the whole time. when the trainer saw him he asked him if he was the pokemon's owner, but he simply shook his head and denied it. they weren't his so it wasn't a lie.
Personality: jack's apathetic and emotionless. he shows no concern for anything, be it human or Pokémon. he only keeps going forward without a care about the world. he's indifferent even to the war between team plasma and the resistence. they can kill themselves for all he cares. as long as they leave him alone.
he doesn't believe in god especially that 'horse-thingie' (as he calls it), arceus. he only believes in himself. his atheism stems from his horrible past. "what kind of god would let people suffer so much?" he likes to ask when people question him about his religion. he thinks only people can control their fate, not some kind of bearded old man up in the clouds. (120 words)
jack has a powerful will and a strong sense of honor. he refuses to give up until he succeeds in what he started and never goes back on his words. he'd rather hang himself by his own intestines first then break a promise. eww.
since he never had friends or other people to talk with, jack has terrible social and linguistic skills. that doesn't mean he can't speak. he has a large vocabulary. he just doesn't know how to communicate with others and he couldn't be bothered to try and learn it. he thinks it's useless since he doesn't need others only himself.
jack's very mistrustful of strangers. basically, if you try to approach him, he'd be immediately on guard. a wrong word and you already got punched in the face. he'd rather have people just leave him alone. like. forever. he also has problems with believing what others tell him. unless you show him some solid proof or manage to convince him somehow, he won't believe a thing you say.
Goals in Cheyenne: jack came to cheyenne to get out of saffron city where he had to live on the streets. he wanted to achieve the dream he had when he was still young and innocent and become a Pokémon trainer. it was the farthest region from kanto which made it perfect.

(Yeah, I was kinda in a rush and I make a lot of typo when I try to capitalize and write quickly at the same time.)
