Name:
Alan Brook
Age:
15
Gender:
Male
Sexuality:
Asexual ; He considers himself such since nobody, male or female, has ever caught his attention in a romantic way.
Basic Appearance:
Alan is a young man who stands at about 5'5 with wild black hair and black-rimmed glasses. Not unlike many boys his age, his build is honestly pretty slender and lanky-looking. His attire usually consists of a pair of dark-colored jeans and a white shirt. His eyes are a very light brown, so much that in the right light they could appear gold. His normal expression is usually rather stoic, though more from lack of any real reason to show emotion than actually being upset.
History:
Alan was a resident of Hoenn for the first few years of his life. His parents were Breeders and were rather well off in their business for a while with their daycare. That was until a new daycare opened up in a bit more of a convenient location by younger owners. Steadily their business declined down right to the point where they only had one loyal patron. Realizing that they needed to cut their losses, they returned that patron's Pokémon and moved to Johto when Alan was thirteen years old. He left behind his only friend, a girl named Anne, the last thing he remembered of her being the tears she shed when he left.
Once there, Alan became a bit more quiet. In fact, most days for a while he stayed indoors and lazed about with his family's Munchlax while studying. That was until he met the neighboring kids. Four other kids in his town that all seemed to get along with one another really well and all welcomed him with open arms despite him being older. Ever since he moved it was only to them that he let a smile show. They came to be people he cared about far more than even himself. He felt like an older brother to them all, despite two of them almost being his age. It was thanks to them that he could finally call Johto home. Though he remained more on the quiet side, he was finally able to open up and not feel like such a stranger.
Though he was a bit older than most beginner trainers, when his friends said that they want to go on a Pokémon adventure, he knew that he had to join them. The only Pokémon he knew of that he could use was his family's Munchlax. First he asked the Munchlax if he would like to join him. The Munchlax, who enjoyed his friends' company and was interested in the outside world, was happy and excited to go with him. Convincing his parents was easier than he expected as well. His parents saw it as an opportunity to put a smile on their son's face for one since they moved there. They happily agreed and packed him a bag full of all sorts of utensils, including things to cook with, a Map, some berries, an empty Egg Carrier, and some other trainer/breeder essentials. With the Munchlax ready and his friends good to go, he and the Munchlax were ready to depart themselves.
Personality:
For the most part, Alan is a rather mellow and relaxed sort of kid. Save for his morning exercises (consisting of simple stretches and a jog), he typically enjoys lazing about and "supervising" when it comes time to doing work. Generally he is pretty quiet and goes out of his way to make sure that his friends are safe, regardless of the cost to himself. He views himself as a sort of "older brother" to the group, being the oldest. As such, he takes on a guardian role. He makes sure that everyone is safe, warm and fed. His expressions are usually quite stoic and the reasoning behind that is that he rarely feels anything strong enough for it to change. Often times you can catch him giving a soft smile but that's mostly it. It should be known that if Alan acts out rashly that it is something serious to him. He also tends to get pretty pouty when people touch his hair. When upset, he's usually more passive-aggressive than anything else.
