Full Name: Carlos Hale
Gender: Male
Age: 17: Born 12th January 1991
Appearance: Short at five foot six, maybe even dipping into the five foot five range, Carlos has a slender form, and is actually quite fragile physically, with a thin frame that makes him seem rather underweight.
With fitting sized, round blue eyes for his round face and tousled brown hair with streaks of dark red running through it, Carlos looks quite innocent, and far younger than his age. His face is slender and smooth, without even a hint of acne. There is a slight fake tan on his skin, which would be pale without it but not enough to seem gaudy or out of place or extravagant.
Preferring casual wear, such as jeans and long sleeved t-shirts, Carlos is very rarely seen in formal wear, as well as beach clothes and the like, or any short sleeved t-shirt for reasons that will be explained in his history.
Background: Born to a loving family, Carlos looked up to his father as his main role model, almost to the point of him being Carlos' idol. So when he died of cancer when Carlos was 7, naturally he was devastated.
Carlos's mother couldn't cope with her grief and became sick and dependent on drink, drugs and sex to get her through the day, and so she got a new man every week, leaving Carlos growing up in an unstable environment.
Until she remarried. At first, the man, with a young daughter of his own, was kind and fatherly, and Carlos' life began to have some stability again. But a few months after the actual marriage, Carlos' stepfather became violent, hitting Carlos, considering the boy a challenge to his authority, even though the twelve year old boy a challenge to his male dominance.
Although this abuse was at first sporadic and small, it quickly escalated, to the point where the man was not only hitting him, but kicking him and burning him. At one point, when Carlos was 17 he burned both of Carlos' arms on the oven, leaving gruesome scars.
Hearing her son's screams, his mother ran into the room and, in a moment of maternal instinct, grabbed a nearby pot (lulz) and battered her husband into unconsciousness. After rushing her son to hospital, she gave him the money to get a boat to Cheyenne, believing that she couldn't guarantee his safety.
Although devastated, he gave a tearful goodbye to his mother, then left the hospital a day later and got on the boat, ready to start a new life as a Pokémon... Trainer? Coordinator? Breeder? Even he doesn't know yet.
Personality: Cheeky and defiant, he makes up for his lack of height with plenty of personality. He says what he thinks, and always has, which has gotten him into trouble. Although made timid by his stepfather's abuse, he sees this as a new start and so a revival of his old self.
Openly bisexual, Carlos believes that anyone can be bisexual and so openly flirts with people, no matter whether he sees them flirting with girls or boys.
Confident, he is also reluctant to let anyone in, preferring a facade of smiles and flirtatiousness to hide the fact that he's actually quite fragile on the inside, and desperate to do anything it takes to avoid dredging the past up, because he hates his own tears and will do anything he can to suppress them.
