CUZ I'LL DOZE OFF SAFE AND SOUNDLY
BUT I'LL MISS YOUR ARMS AROUND ME [ PERSONALITY ]
BUT I'LL MISS YOUR ARMS AROUND ME [ PERSONALITY ]
THE POSITIVE:[/ul]person and very easy to converse with. he’s always making idle chat with the citizens of violet city, trainers littered around the routes, or recently arrived strangers. most mistaken him as an ordinary citizen as opposed to gym leader; haha, just they wait, he’ll have the last laugh. he’s also very loyal to friends, especially his pokemon. just like any good and dedicated trainer he thinks of his team, and those in storage, as a family, no matter how dysfunctional they are. consequently, this puts him as an opposition against team rocket and their unethical actions against humans and pokemon. to him it’s simple disgraceful that they have the freakin’ gall to call themselves “ trainers. ”
as a trainer and self-proclaimed leader of the family alexander is focused on training his team ragged and to the bone. he isn’t a salve-driver but he strives for the best in his party and in himself and the main way to challenge and further his potential is through battle. this would take time, to build a decent team, thus he is a patient young man who’s willing to wait if one of his pokemon are tired or if plans are mucked due to unforeseen events. in addition, this is a good quality to have if you have talkative friends or guests around, especially loud children, so he doesn’t lose his cool too often. on the other hand, one could always perfect the ability of “ feigned patience ” and tune out the nonsense around.
lastly, he’s an open-minded person who’s always willing to listen and impart some advice or knowledge to a fellow trainer, friend, or stranger in general. there’s no secret to being a good trainer or leader but there are certain traits and expectations one has to strive for. in the end it all comes down to one common goal: being the best.
THE NEGATIVE:
another trait he exhibits is obsessive especially his pursuit for ghost/psychic based pokemon of all kinds. even as a gym leader he thinks back to his original goal as a trainer and makes sure to plan trips out of the city to search and capture various pokemon that catch his attention. he’s also been on a hunt for more water-type pokemon to add to his front line, not that his current team is lacking or anything. of course, during trips he always goes into a melancholic funk of sorts because he just misses home. this also happens during random period of the night, when he’s sitting at a desk and writing about trainers he encountered during the day -- always taking notes for future reference.
unfortunately though alexander is rather disorganized when it comes to personal belongings, especially his clothes. there will some days where his outfit is in complete disarray and his shirts are rumpled, socks not matching, and his hair sticking all over the place. it’s one of ‘those’ days, he’ll apologize with a sheepish smile.[/ul]
LIKES:
taffy * who wouldn’t love this particular sweet? he always makes sure to have a handful in his pockets(s). then again, he’s a sucker for anything made of or with sugar and chocolate -- except licorice, those are plain abominations. caramel is another confection he stays away from.
markers, blue pens & pencils * one could never go wrong with this dual combination. blue pens never betray alexander when he’s writing important documents and his ever faithful markers and mechanical pencils are always on standby until he feels the need to draw or design random lines on his notebook to look busy.
psychic-type gym leader sabrina * as a kanto native his childhood was mostly spent listening to the accomplishments of his region’s gym leaders. sabrina stood out the most, to him, due to her frigid nature, mysterious aura, and psychic pokemon lineup. he’s always respected psychic types, which he usually linked to ghost-type pokemon, so hearing about a gym leader who specialized in it gave the once young boy hope in becoming a ghost/psychic-based trainer.
books * majority of his library consists of water, psychic, and ghost-pokemon related books, their behaviours, habitats, properties, and fictional stories about them. he has a few long novels and poetry book but he rarely touches them these days. he also has a collection of magazines from various years about the different happenings in kanto and johto, especially the gym leaders, the elite four, and notable trainers.[/ul]
DISLIKES:
black pens * they are disgusting to write with, enough said. every time he tries to use one after an extended time or leaving it on a table or in his drawer it’ll start spewing out blotches of ink on his page thus forcing him to start all over again.
the lack of ghost/psychic-type pokemon * it’s a horrible dilemma that has haunted him for years. he never meant to become a water-type gym leader but it was the only category he found with a decent pokemon list with psychic hybrids. that, and the fact he has a fancy for water/ice-based second to his ghost/psychic fanaticism.
wearing glasses * he has poor eye sight from afar, making him nearsighted, so he has to carry an emergency pair of glasses or extra contact lenses. despite what some may ask his does not own coloured contacts his eyes are naturally green.
pokemon leagues * it always complicated his schedules. trying to meet the deadlines for competition entries, the guidelines, and qualifications as a trainer really annoyed him. as a gym leader filling out form to volunteer or appear in these events are equally troublesome.[/ul]
HOBBIES:
planning strategies * alexander is the earliest gym leader a trainer will face and just because he’s first it doesn’t mean he’ll be one of the easiest. by far he is no pushover when it comes to battle because, even with his title, he also aims to win for the satisfactory-high of victory.
training his pokemon * due to the limited water-area violet city young man has to focus more on his water-type than his other pokemon because they have to be used to fighting underwater, on land, and accommodating themselves to both terrains in an instant. you could say he’s a perfectionist but he wants to make sure his pokemon can handle themselves properly in any given condition.
visiting kanto * whenever he has the chance, or feels the need to go somewhere, at times he’ll go to kanto for a week to check for new events, look through the different gyms, or size up possible challengers in the future. he tends to go back on random whims in order to pay his respects in lavender town or visit his old home there.
skipping stones outside of the sprout tower * when he has nothing better to do, or far too lazy to travel outside of town, he lets his pokemon swim in the waters while he skips stones across the other half. the monks don’t seem to mind so long as he doesn’t order his pokemon to splash them with water -- he terrorizes them enough with his gengar.[/ul]
FEARS:
failing his pokemon * the worst fate a trainer and his pokemon can have is one of the two parties dying on the other. he pushes his team to their limits in order to avoid this and survive battles against both weak and strong opponents. he doesn’t want any accidents to happen or any of his pokemon becoming vengeful ghosts and remaining restless after death.
losing his eyesight * this can be attributed to his fear of drowning/suffocating in pudding and muks. if he can’t see then he won’t be able to register what’s happening around him, whether or not he’s dead or alive. even if he’s been surrounded with ghost-type pokemon the rational part of his mind always tells him that he should only trust what he can see and touch.
forgetting kanto * at heart he’s a sentimental young man who’s always looking back at memories of when everything was so easy and carefree. he likes the johto region, it’s been a home to him for his later years in life, but kanto and trainers and pokemon will always be a reminder of his former life.
not achieving his dream * the responsibilities of violet city’s gym leader already restricts alexander’s movement around the region so accomplishing his childhood dream has been put to a hiatus. of course, he wants to make his ambition true one day but the onslaught of work is making it seem impossible.[/ul][/blockquote][/size][/color]
