Full Name: Alex Trist
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Of average height at five foot ten inches, Alex has a slender form, lightly muscled and not too bulky. He has lightly tanned skin and a youthful face, making him seem slightly younger than he actually is.
With dirty blond hair arranged in a typical tousled male style, Alex doesn't seem particularly serious, preferring casual wear over anything formal or serious. He usually wears jeans, a t-shirt and casual sneakers.
Background: Born to a single mother, Alex had to go through his mother's depressions as a child. She had never fully recovered from Alex's father leaving her, and as such, was more of a child than a parent, and came to rely on Alex for things as simple as food and care.
As such, Alex became somewhat detached and resentful towards his mother, and became a little cynical, developing a quick wit to counter those who would look down on him and his mother.
With this naturally sarcastic persona came a lack of friends. Alex was always the kind to have a close group of a few friends, rather than a large group. With his natural charisma and wit, he became well known as a charismatic young man, with an odd air surrounding him that people couldn't quite place. As such, to those who weren't his friends, he was considered strange.
Eventually, his mother died at a young age, and Alex didn't mourn, having completely detached himself from his mother at this stage. After the typical funeral arrangements, Alex decided on a whim to throw caution to the wind and start his own life as a Pokemon Trainer, having been unable to keep Pokemon of his own with a mentally ill mother nearby.
Personality: Cynical, witty and sarcastic, Alex goes by the ideology that a pessimist is never disappointed, and always expects the worst, yet does it with a smile.
He doesn't think much of other people, and it takes quite a lot to earn his respect. He'll often break the ice by being friendly on the surface with veiled sarcasm beneath. If someone can take or match his venom, he'll warm up slightly.
To his enemies or those that can't tolerate him, he becomes significantly more spiteful and venomous, relishing the irritation of these irritation.
However, when it comes to Pokemon, he is much more understanding and compassionate, probably because he couldn't have one of his own as a child. He can't tolerate cruelty towards Pokemon, and will openly confront cruelty towards Pokemon.
