Vylen Matthews
Age: 13 Gender: Male Orientation: Undecided Hometown: New Bark, Johto
Appearance: Vylen is about average for his age, standing at just over five feet and weighing in at just under a hundred pounds. He's not thin, and though he's not big boned, he's a touch stocky from his time spent outside. A deep tan colors his features, giving him a rather even complexion, overall. A shock of deep brown hair, which has lightened from the nigh-black due to the time spent outside, lands messily around his face, which is why he generally wears a baseball cap, pulling it backwards to keep the bangs from his eyes, which are a brilliant, almost vibrant, shade of green.
His upper body is generally clothed in an array of different shirts, which generally keep to the darker shades of colors, often accompanied by some sort of snarky saying. Most of these shirts are short-sleeved as well, as he planned for Sousei to be quite warm, which it was, luckily for him. His pants generally follow the same style as his shirts, though they don't contain any words. They stick to shades and tones of colors, with a few pairs of brown as well to mix it up.
Unwilling to carry around a backpack, Vylen's belt holds places to hold the pokeballs, and has several small beltpouches around the opposite side to hold his money and his items. He doesn't like to be weighed down, thus the light packing. His clothes are stored in the small barracks-like room he stays in at Ambience, which is also where he keeps his keepsakes, not wanting to lose them while out on the road.
Personality: Being the son of a former Pokemon Champion has given Vylen something of an arrogant edge, and it is by far the first thing that people tend to notice about him. He believes that he knows everything that there is to battling, and to a point, it's true. His father, a competitor in the Elite Four challenge, was his teacher and taught him everything that he knew about the regulation battles. With perfect clarity, Vylen can speak the types, weaknesses, and signature moves of nearly every known Pokemon.
However, that arrogance is also something of a weakness for him. While he knows many of the tricks and tactics for these regulation battles, anything outside of that is foreign to him, and he is a rather big stickler for the rules. People who attempt to fight by rules that aren't official in any of the major regions get under his skin, and he will not hesitate to point out their flaws and try to correct them, whether they want his advice or not.
The boy also has little patience for adults, whether they know what they're talking about or not. As his father taught him, raising him to become a future champion, he has taken down many different Pokemon Trainers that were twice his age and more. Thus anyone who tries to speak to him will have to get through that arrogance barrier before they can start to really speak with Vylen. As stated, arrogance is the first thing people notice...and it's also generally the last.
History: Vylen was born to former Johto Pokemon Champion Vincent Matthews, who was one of the first to take down Johto's Elite Four. In his wake, many more champions came to claim his title, and he was able to hold onto it for a better part of a year before being dethroned by Lance, the Dragon Trainer. In his defeat, Vincent decided that it was time to settle down, and use his winnings from being the Champion as a way to start a new life.
A woman named Lucia caught his eye, and it wasn't too long before they were married, living happily in Cherrygrove City. Vincent's life seemed to become even more perfect and wonderful when Lucia became pregnant, and he could feel the pride of fatherhood coming even before his son was born. However, during the operation, though Vylen was delivered successfully, Lucia passed away. A dark cloud seemed to hover over Vincent, until something within him changed, around Vylen's third birthday.
He saw the boy playing with Cinders, the family's Vulpix, and a strange current went through him as he realized that if he could teach Vylen everything he knew, perhaps he could become a greater Pokemon Champion than himself, or possibly that the world had ever seen. From that day, he began to coach Vylen, using the Pokemon around the house as examples, showing him the tricks and tactics to battling. Vylen never attended any official schooling, and instead was given instruction directly from his father, who trained the child like a little soldier.
As time passed, the tutelage was beginning to show its benefits as Vylen, at seven and eight years old, was managing victories from well-traveled trainers, using his father's Pokemon, of course. At twelve, Vylen heard of Sousei from the media, and saw it as a chance to put what his father taught him to the test. He would embark upon a journey, like his father before him, knowing that the real, hands-on experience would be good for him. Reluctantly, Vincent agreed, writing a note for his son, and giving him three pokemon to start with, along with some items and money.
Vylen was thus ready to begin his foray into the real world of Pokemon.
