Dork #1
✧ C H A R A C T E R S ✧
Full Name: James Aiden Sterling
Nickname(s): Jamie
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Sexual Orientation: hella gay
Relationship Status: arranged marriage, but he ain't gonna marry that girl
Profession: ""Trainer"" (he doesn't really know what to call himself)
Appearance: James has dirty blond hair and dark brown eyes with flecks of green in the iris. He has, unsurprisingly, pale skin. His skin has a startling amount of scars on it, the most being on his arms and hands, and there are prominent ones near his jawline and on his wrist. Because of the scars on his body, he often wears long sleeved shirts and jackets. And gloves, though he tries to wear fingerless gloves so he can still feel what he’s touching. He is not often seen without a jacket or some other long sleeved shirt covering him, but if he gets too hot he will take off the long sleeved top and show his white t-shirt (or whatever other color he may be wearing). He recently has started wearing jeans and capri’s, but he doesn’t really like how jeans feel so he often roles them into neat cuffs. He stands at 5'11 and weighs roughly 140lbs.
General Personality: James can best be described as a classic spoiled rich kid. He’s always gotten what he’s wanted, and his parents spoiled him with all sorts of toys when he was little. He often comes off as stand off-ish and arrogant to people, and he actually is rather stand off-ish and vain (or egocentrical). He thinks he’s better than most people because of his status, and he thinks that everyone should listen to him and do what he tells them to do. He’s dense and stubborn, and he doesn’t yield to most people unless they convince him to do so with a logical explanation (or if he tries something and it doesn’t work).
If he gets knocked off his high horse or if somebody breaks through his rich boy barrier, they’ll find he can actually be very naïve and hesitant. He doesn’t know very much about the world outside of his house, and he’s afraid of people thinking of him as a coward. He can be argumentative and bratty, but he really is just trying to prove that he’s not as pathetic as people have thought him to be. (And, he doesn’t know a lot about the world outside of his sheltered home.) His naivety is something that he absolutely despises, so he tries to compensate by being cold to people and pretending to know more than he really does.
He doesn’t like to be number two in competitions, but he knows that if someone has won a competition fairly they should be told congratulations. However, if he were to come in first place, he may rub it in people’s faces, but then try to correct himself and stop boasting. He is slowly but surely learning about the outside world, but he’s still very, very snobbish and arrogant. He needs someone to show him how the outside world works, or he’ll be eaten alive by someone one day.

Birth Date: March 3rd
Important Memories: [spoilers]
General Background: James was born in Olivine City, in a hospital near the cliff his family’s house was on. He lived a childhood in the lap of luxury, and he was introduced to several other rich families who he learned would one day be his business partners and rich friends. One particular day, he was told he would meet the daughter of another family, and that he should expect this daughter to be in his life for quite a long time. He, being a young child, didn’t entirely understand what his parents meant. It was only when he finally met the girl that he found out they would have to marry one another in the future, and he immediately declined the offer. Of course, it wasn’t an offer and he didn’t have any choice, but he still was not very happy with the sudden arrangement. This was the one time that his stubbornness really showed, because after his parents told him he didn’t have a choice, he locked himself in his room for weeks on end and didn’t leave until he ran out of food.
He has started travelling because, being frank, he got kicked out of his house. His parents realized that their son knew next to nothing of the world outside his window, and quickly decided to have him explore and learn about other regions and other people. And, his parents had heard from their friends, trainers usually got sent out at age ten. His parents were eight years late to sending their son out to the world, and they were thoroughly embarrassed. They gave him a Pokemon to accompany him and shoved him out the door, but only after giving him a ticket to the Hoenn region and a suitcase full of all the stuff he needed.

➤ tbh this kid is just a brat who doesn’t know about the outside world. he also is not used to sincere compliments (instead, he’s used to the spoon fed compliments he’s lived with all his life), so if someone were to sincerely compliment him he would be very confused and probably flustered. maybe flustered. it would depend on the compliment.
➤ he only has dealt with Pokemon inside his house and is not very comfortable around strange Pokemon, so he’s kind of jumpy around peoples own Pokemon. he also startles very easily with wild Pokemon, but they’re wild Pokemon so he can just run away from them and it’ll all be good--
➤ because he doesn't know a lot about the outside world (and all the Pokemon in it), he carries around a handbook on all the different species of Pokemon in his bag. he uses this handbook quite often and bookmarks certain pages, and it already looks rather old and beat up.
WHO DO YOU SHIP THIS KID WITH?: LAWRENCE
