Name:
[/u] Atrus Rogers [/center]Age:[/u] 15
Gender:[/u] Male
Trainer Type:[/u] Good
Appearance:[/u]
Personality:[/u] Atrus is very carefree and friendly. He is very passionate about everything he does. He wears his heart on his sleeve, but he can also be very secretive about his disease. He also has a few fits of depression, and often seems to suffer from nightmares when he sleeps. He loves playing his guitar which he brings with him everywhere he goes.
History:[/u] Atrus was born in Fallarbor Town, Hoenn. A few years into his life, his mother died of a mysterious new disease. The boy and his father were both tested and both came out clean, at least for the moment.
Atrus found a hobby in playing the guitar, a gift he got from his father for his seventh birthday. He became quite skilled at it, and he began to write songs by the age of 9.
However, on his fourteenth birthday, he began to start showing signs of the same illness that claimed his mother. The doctors treated him with what they had learned so far of the virus that they now called the Agarest virus. It was a virus that would attack the body's own immune system, and it was found to be a genetic disease, though the origins are still unknown.
The doctors have given Atrus a time frame of five years left to live. Now on his fifteenth birthday, he decides to journey out on his first and possibly last adventure despite the warnings of the doctors and his father. He aims to win the title of Pokemon Champion or at least get as far as he can before the virus takes hold and claims him, or perhaps that he might find a miracle on his journey that might cure him.

Atrus could see Pallet Town from the bow of the ferry boat. It had been a long ride from the Hoenn region. While most trainers start their journies in their home region, Atrus had already seen most of Hoenn and knew much about his home region. He knew it well enough that he felt that the whole journey would be just a recycled walk around a familiar place.
Atrus wanted to see the world and everything it had to offer in the time he had left. He had a drive unlike many other trainers, mostly because he knew how precious and fragile his own life was. The doctors said he only had five years left if a cure was not found. For the time being, he had medicine to help slow the disease and treat his symptoms.
When the boat docked on the small pier outside of town, Atrus got off of the boat and took his first steps on Kanto soil. His hand wrapped around the black scale and white feather, thinking back to his parents and the powerful Pokemon that the items came from. The boy would take out a small paper map to find his way to Professor Oak's house. It would be there that he would find his first Pokemon partner.
Once Atrus arrived, he saw an elderly man in a professor's outfit, along with some other children his age. He walked up to them and offered a letter from Professor Birch to Professor Oak, more than likely research notes on Pokemon that he wanted to share with Professor Oak. "Hello. I'm Atrus from Hoenn. I'm here to start my journey." he spoke in a cheerful tone of voice.

Anything else you want to add? Atrus' disease is the Pokemon world's version of AIDS, only this is only known to be transmutable by genetics, though how it first came into existence is currently unknown. It can be cured by a few means: Legendary intervention (A wish to Jirachi, Arceus or Mew curing him, etc.), a rare and very difficult to find and retrieve plant/berry, or a medical breakthrough
