Elliot Young

Name: Elliot Young
Nickname: Eli
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Rank: New Trainer
Birthplace: Lake of Rage, Johto
Battle Style: Eli panics easily and when stressed, does not think through his actions, but acts rashly in battle. However, when he is confident, calm and focused, he likes to play with strategies. Eli tries to make the most of his surroundings - the physical environment and the weather - in order to maximise the effectiveness of his pokemon's attacks.
Looks: A diminuitive boy, Elliot is short and skinny compared to others his age, thoguh it doesn't seem to bother him a great deal. He has fair skin which is often covered in bruises and scratches, and straight, dark brown hair which hangs floppily around his face. He wears thin-rimmed rectangular glasses over his grey eyes. Eli prefers clothes which are comfortable as well as interesting. He tends to wear unbuttoned shirts with their sleeves rolled up over a t-shirt, coupled with either jeans or black shorts depending on the weather. His shoes of choice are canvas sneakers throughout most of the year.

Personality: Elliot is stubborn to the point of sometimes appearing selfish. He looks after himself first, because he finds it hard to relate to and trust others. He goes after his own dreams and ambitions as opposed to doing what is expected of him by others. Eli is also a quiet, reserved boy. He finds loud people to be extremely irritating, but also thinks that people should stand up for themselves and not be pushovers. He takes huge pride in his accomplishments and likes to do things independantly of others.

History: Eli was a solitary child. Growing up in a tiny village beside the Lake of Rage didn't help. He spent most of his time outdoors, enjoying mountain biking, hiking and rock climbing. His mother runs a small hotel at the lakeside, catering to tourists visiting the pituresque area. Elliot hated having to work there. One day whilst out walking in the mountains near his home, he came across a small and young sneasel, who appeared to have been attacked and was in no fit state to survive by himself. Not wanting to leave the pokemon to die, Elliot took Sneasel with him. His mother was not best pleased and insisted he released Sneasel. Instead, Elliot took the chance to pursue his long-held dream of travelling under the guise of becoming a pokemon trainer, and headed off to the Mahogany Town Pokemon Centre to help Sneasel.

New trainer, please check? :)
He's an OC of mine who I've used for a long time, though I usually play him several years later in his life when he's an adult. Thought it'd be interesting to have him start fresh though.

Approved! :D Nice one on a first attempt but please don't double post in future.
