Name:
[/u] Avaja Grayson Alerion[/center]Age:[/u] 19
Gender:[/u] Male
Trainer Type:[/u] Good
Appearance:[/u] Avaja has a lean, athletic build, pale skin, red hair with silver streaks, and deep, emerald eyes. He is usually seen wearing his favorite jacket crux jacket with a cut-off green shirt beneath. He’s a bit of an accessory enthusiast, resulting in nearly every part of his body being decorated in some way. This includes earrings, dog tags, a choker, red and black fingerless gloves, and even a bellybutton piercing. He is generally tall, with a height of 6’3, although he is somewhat approachable.
Personality:[/u] Avaja is highly charismatic and likeable. He gets along well with others, and makes friends easily. Sarcasm and jokes come as a second and third language to him, and he seems to be rather fluent in both of them. He can be rash and headstrong at times, but he also shows courage in the face of danger. He has a very self-conscious and insecure side, as well, which can lead to self-destructive decisions on his part.
Oh, and he seems to have a bit of a soft spot for girls. He is extremely polite and flirtatious to them, much to the annoyance of his girlfriend.
History:[/u] Avaja was born in the shadow of his older brother, Jude. Actually, the name “Avaja” is a variation of the Latin word “avaya,” which means “whatever.” As kids, his brother was always the one to win the games, excel in school, and attract the girls. Jude was taller, faster, and stronger than his little brother, and his father seemed to show favoritism towards his firstborn, no matter what kind of accomplishments his youngest son achieved.
Jude’s defining characteristic was his humility. No matter in how many ways he outperformed Avaja, he remained humble and courteous to him, picking him up and dusting him off to try again every time he fell.
However, after a vicious argument between the two brothers on Avaja’s 19th birthday, Avaja said something that he still regrets to this day, and left without saying another word. He now pursues every badge from every region, and to become to strongest Pokemon Trainer who ever lived, vowing to never return home until he does.
RP Sample:[/u] As the day winded down, and the sun cast its final, fleeting shadows about the rooms of the inn, one boy stood at the mirror in his room, busying himself with a trivial task. Avaja dabbed his fingers in the silver fluid in the small bowl on the counter and tugged on a lock of his hair, sticking his tongue out in concentration as he stared at his reflection. Generally pleased with the way the first had turned out, he continued streaking his hair, talking to himself as he did so.
“Hmm…actually doesn’t look half bad.”
Suddenly, the loud shrieking of a pokemon at his window caused him to instinctively jump in fear. What he didn’t realize was how close his fingers were to his face. They brushed against his skin, leaving two, distinct silver streaks on his cheek. He gasped, horrified, as he glanced back into the mirror, and immediately set about trying to undo his mistake.
The sound of giggling filled the room, and Avaja was unsurprised to see Shuppet, a ghost pokemon, floating about in a hysterical fit of laughter. Glaring miserably at the pokemon for a moment, Avaja snatched up the silver liquid and flicked the remaining dye in the direction of the ghost.
However, Shuppet immediately disappeared, leaving the fluid to coat the bed and carpet in QwikDry HairDye. Avaja gasped and whispered, “Damn!” as he tried frantically to wash it out of the fabric.
His state of panic rising, he realized he wouldn’t be able to pay for replacement sheets and the carpet cleaning bills. Avaja quietly gathered his belongings and clambered out the window, sprinting off into the night.

How did you find us? A friend of a friend. No, not you. That…that girl behind you…no, right there in the shirt. No, over there. You’re pointing in the right direction, but not at the right pers – no, just to the left. Over there. YES, her. Thank you. She told me about it. Geez…
Are you new to Roleplaying? Nope, I’ve been roleplaying for about 4 years now, on all sorts of different websites. Hit a bit of a rough patch lately, and it’s been hard for me to get back into writing. Hopefully this site is just the jump-start I need.
Anything else you want to add? *insert Lavender Town music here* >.>
