• Name :: Charlie Vera Lee
• Age :: Twenty-five years old.
• Birthdate :: January 18th, 1987.
• Gender :: He is a male.
• Height :: 5'9'.
• Weight :: 145 LB.
• Hair Color/Style :: His hair color is predominantly black and is styled to the side with what looks to be hair gel. Of course, he always makes sure that his hair is slick and clean, even when he does not not have access to normal bathing options.
• Eye Color/Style :: His eye color is deep blue, comparable to that of the bottom of the ocean.
• Skin Color :: Usually, because he finds himself walking outside quite a lot, he has a bit of a tan. His complexion is similar to that of a farmer because of how tan he actually manages to be. Currently, however, he is a little lighter color than usual.
• Attire :: His attire is just as simple as his general appearance. He appears to be a humble man. You can tell this in the sort of clothing he wears. Robes of many colors, usually, with strings of silk(with beads attached to the silk strings) falling off of the top of the hood of the robe, off of the bottom of the robe around his legs, and around the bottom of his sleeves where his hands pop out.
Normal clothing, however, is also seen on the male. He can be seen wearing a variety of t-shirt and sleeveless shirts, usually without any color(therefore being grey, black, or white in most cases). The most common sort of clothing he manages to wear that isn't the assortment of strange robes he wears are sleeveless shirts in the color white.
• Hometown :: Goldenrod City, Johto
• Current Residence :: He's a bit of a traveler now a days. For now, he does not call a single place his 'residence'. However, right now, he is rooted in Katarina.
• Lodging :: He lives alone right on the outskirts of Katarina, just south of the town and just north of the Pilkiras Plains.
• Occupation :: Healer/Traveler. He is a simple wandering healer, which is part of the reason that he loves his job so much. He gets to help people and their pokemon while he travels, which are both hobbies that he is very passionate about.
• Pokémon Specialty :: Psychic/Ghost-Type Pokemon.
• Personality :: His personality is something that he has worked on for years. As a child, he was never the type to be like this. Growing up, he was a talkative boy, with hopes and dreams for a better future, not the type to be silent during an open conversation and definitely not the type of person to not speak his mind. He has become this way over time, again and again watching the things that he has held close fall around him like dominoes. You might have been able to call him an optimistic person and you would have been completely right. However, with time, he has changed to be a mirror form of himself, a person he never thought he would become.
He became this person slowly. A person with no values in his life, a person with no care in the world other than the people and pokemon around him. He is truly selfless. However, this in itself can be dangerous. He would quickly give anything up to someone else just to help them out. It's too bad that he has felt the sting of rejection more than once, the sting of expecting someone to do the same for you and it not happening. That was the sort of life that he had. Even though nothing triggered this for him, the sting of rejection and of faith and love and like have all sort of lead him on the path that eventually lead him to here. A silent man with a robe. That's what he has come to be, and what he will remain to be. At least, so he thinks.
Another personality trait that could be pointed out about the male is that he is very adamant in what he believes in. Even though he does not express his views or point them out all that often, it is when he does that you know that you are in trouble. He will do anything in his power to right a wrong for another person, even if it was not him that made it wrong in the first place. Going out of his way for another person is just one of the very few things that make him a unique person. Even he realizes that most other people will not go out of their way to help another person, but he says nothing about his good deeds. Instead, he simply smiles, nods, and makes a comment if someone says something. The comments are usually wise, but brief, sentences about how he was not being kind, but being a decent human.
Still, what's off about his personality is his appearance. He is silent, and that is quite enough to make someone question his true intentions. Even though he is true with who he is to other people, he has been judged by others for simply acting off, daft, or just to put it bluntly: creepy in one way or another. Not only does his silence throw people off, but the usual clothing that he wears throws people off too. People never trust the men in robes.
Even though this is true, he always appreciates the couple of good people that do talk to him. Usually, the people that he talks to are travelers such as himself and people who enjoy to explore just as much as he does, which brings his personality to this fact: he loves travel. He loves the feeling of his legs as he runs, as he walks... He loves to look into places that he's never been to before. He is a wild and free spirit in the form of a twenty-five year old man, ready to take on the world, ready to explore it to his whim, and ready to make a mess of himself in the process. This is practically the only part of his personality that strays from the rest of his traits.
The last thing that you should possibly know about him is that he struggles with believing anything is real at all. Sometimes, he's convinced himself that the world is real, that his struggles aren't real, and that he is a simple toy in the middle of a large machine, simply stopping the gears from turning. He is not a sad man, no, but he does have an ethereal feeling when you speak to him. You can sense this in his drifting voice and in the way that he looks at people, pokemon, and objects.
• Bio :: There was something in his eyes that sparkled, that caused the moon to light up at night, that caused every star to fall out of the sky. There was something about the young boy that changed everything for his family in Goldenrod City of the Johto region, but no one could put their finger on how exactly the boy was different from the other children of Goldenrod. The boy, named Charlie, knew how he was different, though. He was optimistic, not like the simply pessimistic people that he had somehow managed to surround himself in. He was the type of child to prosper, to love, to find interesting things in every little thing there was. It was a sad thing to see that a child, growing up in his environment, could change in the blink of an eye.
He had grown up in a family of two doctors, both that treated Pokemon. They didn't work in hospitals. Instead, they worked in centers for Pokemon. It was often that Charlie had to sit down in a Pokemon Center and wait for his parents to finish their job, at least on the weekends. Sure, on the week days, he was confined to a classroom of a couple of other children, but the local Pokemon Center was truly the place that he wanted to be. Even though he lived in an apartment in Goldenrod City, the Pokemon Center was his true him. He watched Pokemon being helped by the nurses, and being healed of the injuries that had received from battles or other incidents.
He has always had hope for the field of medicine, but since his family he no time for him, he was never really able to learn for the odd years of his life that he had to sit and wait. Though, after a long time, he had an affinity for one of the nurses. They had bonded and become friends. One would think that he would be following in the footsteps of his parents, but this nurse was significantly older than him and was more like a parental figure than his parents ever were. She taught him what he needed to know about medicine, and even trained him to become a nurse when he was just a child. Still, as he grew and grew, he became less sociable. At eighteen, he figured that he was not needed in Johto anymore. After having fufilled much of his side of the mentorship, he smiled and casted himself away from the nurse he'd known so well and from the family he didn't really know.
Though he knew nothing about living alone, he did know one thing: that he was destined for greater things. Healing? Possibly. Traveling? Most definitely. Every year, he only seemed to be more and more retracted from society. Now, in a new region without a single friend or a family member, he finds himself in unknown grounds. This is the furthest away from society, while also the closest, he's ever been.
• Current Goal(s) ::
• Discover something new in the Zatao region.
• Become a professional in the healer profession.
• Trivia ::
♦ Charlie owns a lute and even knows how to play. However, most people don't know that he even owns a lute, let alone knows how to play one.
♦ He feels at one with nature much of the time and can be hard to snap out of his trances.
♦ Ever since he was a child, he's had a love for psychic and ghost type pokemon. This is because those types of pokemon remind him of himself because they seem secluded from the rest. Those types also happen to fit his particular style of appearance and battle.
