Trainer Info
Name: Johnson “John” McCarter
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Height: 5’3”
Weight: 112 lbs
Occupation: Pokémon Trainer
Home Region: Kwaidan
Hometown: Woodruff
Appearance:
Rather on the short side with an additional cute kind of clumsiness that’s often gotten him into trouble. He has dyed black hair streaked with dark brown which mostly appears messy, mostly due to the fact that he’s more of an outdoorsy kind of person. Johnson’s eyes are a very lovely shade of crystal blue, which turns to a very pale green in the light and icy blue in the dark. He mostly wears hoodies, although sometimes he’s been forced into wearing more formal clothing, thanks to his auntie.
Personality:
Many a person will consider Johnson the shy, quiet type. He often stutters at the beginning of his sentences, which will result in him either clearing his throat or running a hand through his hair in embarrassment, mentally thinking to himself of how stupid he is. But like anyone there is more to him than meets the eye. For example, he loves a good fight. Where else would Insidious have come from, if not from a brawl? He knows for certain that the little creep would never have picked someone like him to hang out with if it wasn’t for his love of fighting.
For those that Johnson knows well, he can often seem the cheerful, talkative type of guy that could make anyone feel proud to have him as a friend. Although he does have a bit of a tendency to fall into semi-depression.
History:
Born and raised on the island of Woodruff, it was a fairly peaceful, happy existence for the young boy who’s parents raised and bred Pokémon for a living. That is, up until the age of nine, where his father left and his mother took him to live with his auntie and uncle, saying she couldn’t cope with staying in that house anymore. As he grew older he fell in with a rough crowd, although not in the way you would expect. Two of the four had befriended Scraggies, of which had taught the boys how best to play rough. Thus John’s love for rough-housing and scuffles was born.
In his spare time he would wander the island; hiding amongst the statues and pines; fighting with his friends and generally having fun. As for family time, he was expected to help out around the house, cleaning, cooking and looking after the family’s Pokémon.
At the age of fourteen, he encountered a tough-looking Zorua, who taunted him into brawling with him. Two days after the event, the dark-type awaited him at his door and the two became fast friends. For many years after that they would roam the many corners of Woodruff, looking for ways to satisfy their curiosity and fighting lust.
It was at the age of sixteen and a half when he decided he’d like to leave the island. By that time Zero – a Totodile gifted to him as an egg on his birthday – had evolved and calmed in temper. Ultimately deciding on his plan, he began the process of training his two Pokémon and himself, hoping that one day he could travel to the many areas of Kwaidan and discover things he never knew before his journey.
As of the time of the RP, he has been a Pokémon Trainer for three and a half years.

Team Size: 4/6
Name: Insidious
Species: Zorua
Gender: Male
Signature Moves: Punishment, Snarl, Night Daze, Hone Claws, Fury Swipes.
Extra Info:
-- Namesake
This little blighter’s name came from his very eventful brawl with the unfortunate Johnson McCarter. He gave him a rather nasty nip, which really wasn’t so much of a nip; more like an incredibly painful bite. The good news was that their fight had been going on for at least two and a half hours (or possibly more – you can’t really be sure on that kind of thing, when you’re the one fighting) which left both Pokémon and human alike exhausted; the bad news was that Johnson ended up keeling over onto his front in agony. Of course, half an hour later he was found by his auntie, whom scooped him up and took him back home for a good long rest and a rather sound talking to on his return to consciousness.
What came as a shock was the fact that – two days afterwards – a scarred, tatty-eared Zorua sat barking outside the McCarter’s, seemingly waiting for his sparring partner.
—Personality
A cocky little brat, who only ever really listens to Johnson and Zero, regarding everyone else to be far beneath him.
Name: Zero Temperature
Species: Feraligator
Gender: Male
Signature Moves: Ice Punch, Crunch, Blizzard, Surf.
Extra Info:
-- Namesake
Given to him as an egg on his sixteenth birthday by his uncle, Johnson doted on the little oval, blue thing. He would often go to check on it, making sure to keep its water basin as lukewarm as possible and generally getting over-excited of the prospect of his very own Totodile (one of his ultimate favourites!). However these feelings were soon blasted clean out of the imaginary water when Zero bit and clawed his way out of the egg. He snarled at John, snapped at Insidious and ran and hid from them as soon as he was able to walk; not to mention the fact that he simply did not want to know them. He’d ignore everyone within the household, attempting instead to make silent conversation with the wall or windows. It didn’t take long for Johnson to think up a name that best suited the Totodile’s incredible personality.
He has calmed down an awful lot in the past four years, taking on a more gentle role in the group. Although he’s still got a bit of a bad attitude (scratch that, he has a real bad attitude, but only to those he immediately decides he hates, which is pretty much a given to anyone besides his team-mates and human friend).
— Personality
A grumpy, yet somehow fatherly Pokémon who took it upon himself to keep everyone in his team protected. He can get awfully snappy (yep, unfortunately I mean that in the literal sense) and has a tendency to drift off into his own little world at times.
Name: Richard
Species: Sneasel
Gender: Male
Signature Moves: Icy Wind, False Swipe, Agility, X-Scissor.
Extra Info:
Found shivering and wrapped up in a large tattered crimson scarf behind one of the many ancient statues surrounding the island of Woodruff, Johnson took pity on the poor Sneasel and took him home. After the dark type’s recovery, John found that the Pokémon would follow him around wherever he went. Taken to the Sneasel’s behaviour, he decided to make him a part of the family. Still, the question as to the scarf’s owner piqued Johnson’s curiosity many times over. However its answer has remained a mystery to this day. Albeit it’s a lot less tattered now, seeing as John’s auntie is as good at sewing as she is at lecturing.
—Personality
Richard likes to have time alone, to twirl with the ends of his scarf and think. Although Insidious often finds a way to disturb Richard’s me-time in some way, shape or form. He looks up to Johnson, but isn’t very sociable with other people, preferring instead to hide behind his protector.
Name: Ms. Alexandra Troubadour
Species: Meinfoo
Gender: Female
Signature Moves: N/A
Extra Info:
Saved by Johnson from a group of wild rampant Scraggy’s during a trip from Unova’s Castelia City, this Meinfoo took an immediate liking to the boy. However, at the time, she had an owner, which was evident from the engraved words upon a rather fancy, fitted necklace, stating her name and address. Johnson took her back to her house, only to find the door unlocked and the interior eerily cold. He found a woman sat haphazardly in one of the living room chairs, with a wary glance at her face and an uncomfortable few moments of standing still and wondering what to do – Johnson carried the clinging Meinfoo outside and hurried to the nearest building to tell them of the horrific news. He was asked by the police – after a serious question as to his sincerity and responsibility - to take care of the late woman’s Pokémon until someone else saw fit to take her in.
She is under his care and is a temporary companion, of which he has sworn to himself to never use in battle.
—Personality
Ms. Alex has a rather unnerving crush on Richard, she follows him around almost constantly and often-times tries to give him a bone-crushing hug, obviously forgetting the fact that he is a dark-type which doesn't really do wonders against the physical pains of fighting-types. Other than that Alexandra has a soft spot for tea and is very much a lady. As a side-note; it is not a good idea to mention her height.
