Name: James Coffey
Gender: Male
Home region: Unova
Regions Traveled: He's spent the longest in Kalos, but has visited Johto and Sinnoh for extended periods as well.
Age: 17
Height: 5'9" (±175cm)
Weight: 122 lb (±55kg)
Hair: Black hair cut relatively short, styled and gelled up. His undercut has grown out somewhat.
Eyes: Brown. He wears a pair of black glasses.
Clothing: James’ wardrobe consists mainly of plain outfits—typically grays, with the occasional white dress shirt for fancy occasions. He does not enjoy vibrant colors. Frequently he’ll be seen layering up, even in warmer weather. His standard outfit consists of a gray long sleeve shirt underneath a black zip-up jacket, jeans (black or navy blue), and white tennis shoes or gray loafers, depending on the situation. He wears a dark purple scarf.
Identifying Marks: He has a small scar across his left ear, and a larger one on his right forearm. His nose is slightly crooked from having been broken once.
Personality: James is introverted, and a bit of a jerk at first. He has a bad habit of making arrogant or rude first impressions. Despite this, he has no bad intentions for anyone-- he might not claim to be here to make close friends, but it isn’t terribly hard to make him open up. He can be surprisingly chill at times, with his favorite activity simply being to read mystery novels, but he’s not one for small talk. His preferred environment is peace and quiet.
Past: He spent his early years in Mistralton City, Unova. Wisperia was caught when he was 11 and began his journey. He has four badges from Unova, six from Kalos as he spent most of his journey there, two from Sinnoh, and one from Johto.
Family: Mother and father in Unova, and a sister currently in Sinnoh. He contacts them infrequently, but has no bad blood with them.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Team: Mystic
Species: Lampent
Nickname: Wisperia, or Wispie for short
Gender: Female
Ability: Flame Body
Hidden Power: Ice
Special Features: Her flame is usually out when not in battle. She has a habit of floating near other light sources.
History/Personality: Wisperia was James’ starter equivalent, caught as a Litwick in Celestial Tower when he began his journey. She’s remained his most loyal pokemon since. Personality-wise, she’s a quiet, unassuming sort of pokemon, never causing trouble or disrupting things or showing much of any sort of emotion. If a ghost-type could be really said to care for their trainer, though, then Wisperia certainly does.
Species: Gourgeist
Nickname: Acanthos
Gender: Male
Ability: Pickup
Hidden Power: Electric
Special Features: Large-sized Gourgeist. Similar to Wisperia, he can suppress his glow when he wants to.
History/Personality: Acanthos was caught in Kalos. He’s a bit more cheerful than Wisperia, but not by much—he prefers to spend his time relaxing rather than battling. Laid-back and seemingly uninterested in training, it's something of a wonder that he's still on the team. He has a bit of a sweet tooth, and often bothers James for pokepuffs.
Another OC from an old RP. I was quite proud of James at the time of creation, but-- as with everything-- I feel that I could have spent more time honing how I would eventually write him. He ended up not being as much of a red herring as I wanted him to be, in an RP where the villain wasn't obvious (personality/backstory/etc were sent to the OP, it was a very fun concept). James was intended to start off as a classic too-good-for-this rival, with his true alignment only being gradually revealed, but I flunked his first few posts pretty badly. I need to get better at writing mean characters.
For my first ghost-type trainer ever, though, I'm content with his aesthetic. Would like to find someplace to reuse him, but I have so many that already never saw the light of an RP thread xd. As I get better at trainer-sprite editing, I might try making him his own... and see if I can avoid it being too much of a Morty cop-out, ha. James will likely stay put here and in my gdoc.
