@SoS: Of course you kin RESERVE! Glad to have an RPG with you again (feels... nostalgic). Excited to see the first form of that old friend
Nostalgic? We're in Three Days together right now lol. But yes, I miss the old days of being in like every single RPG you were.
Name: George "D.C." Anderson
Gender: Male. George sound like a woman's name to you? Well... Georgina, I suppose... IGNORE MY RAMBLING!
Age: 18
Description: George is of slight build and reasonably average height, at approximately 5”10. Despite this apparently slender frame, he has a slight belly, which he is constantly attempting to pull in. He has next to no muscle, though he does not mind this as much as his stomach. His face has not been shaved in roughly a week, and fine hairs are sprouting all over his face and neck, though they do not obscure his face in any way. He is a naturally pale-skinned person, though you can tell he doesn't really get out very much. His bright blue eyes, however, seem to form a contrast to this, and almost makes him seem moon-like – pale, but bright. His rich, dark brown hair is shaped almost like a bell that comes in again after its mouth, and goes all the way down to the base of his neck.
As for clothing, George is rarely seen without his trademark black “I <3 D.C.” t-shirt (hence his nickname). He has owned this for several years now, and though the heart is beginning to wear away, it is extremely comfortable. As he would probably freeze without something over this, he wears an open, light blue, denim shirt with black buttons. He has a habit of fingering these. It is slightly faded, but still an essential piece of his ensemble. On his bottom half, George sports a no-name brand pair of blue jeans that are slightly too long for him, and black converse shoes, that are also slightly too big. To compensate for this, he wears two pairs of socks. Yes, he has sweaty feet.
Personality: In public, George is confident, smiling, and full of mirth, especially when with his good friends. This is a complete façade, albeit, a rather convincing one. He is merely putting on a brave face so that nobody worries about him. After all, he's not worth their time, right? They have problems of their own to deal with. His own self-image is extremely negative, as you might expect. However, all of this lends very well to his talent – acting. George is an excellent actor, having appeared in several school musicals and amateur productions. What he loves about it, is that he gets, for several hours, to completely become a different person – not George Anderson. He gets to be Glad Hand, the wide-eyed, nerdy idealist from
West Side Story, or Doolittle, the happy-go-lucky, working-class slob from
My Fair Lady.
In private, though, he is extremely prone to crises of confidence, panic attacks, and seems to constantly have a little negative voice, nagging away inside his head, belittling him forever. He's quite neurotic. But he's also a very restless person, who always seems to need to be doing something with his hands, or indeed, mouth. Twiddling with his buttons, snapping his fingers, chewing a pen, you name it. He naturally makes a lot of gestures when he speaks, therefore, and it lends itself to making him a good orator. In terms of how he interacts with others, well, with new people, he is initially shy, and unwilling to open up, unless absolutely necessary. With those he is used to though, he is willing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth... Except about his neuroses and what's really bothering him, naturally.
History: The main reason for George's self-image issues is his father. Having abandoned his family when George was roughly 9, he routinely attempts to swan back in to the Anderson household, to borrow money or the car, argue with and belittle George, and generally be a pain in the neck. It hit George pretty hard, naturally, as it seemed like his own father didn't want him. So obviously, there must be something wrong... Apart from this, his life has been fairly average. He went to school, studied hard, and achieved solid grades, notably in history and French. However, there are two experiences that have indisputably shaped him.
First, his history and politics trip to Washington D.C. with his school. This trip secured his love of the city and its wonderful surroundings. Naturally, it's where he acquired his t-shirt. George loved how clean it was, how historic it was, and above all, how incredibly... tall everything seemed to be! Secondly was a visit to the theatre, to support a friend of his, appearing in Oklahoma. The atmosphere was positively electric, and sparked his love of musical theatre. After the show, he rushed backstage to congratulate his friend, and find out when auditions for the company's next show were.
The stage has eased George's pain, but to escape from everything at home, he occasionally logs on to Pokétropolis, as it reminds him of a somewhat more peaceful childhood, when he was the greatest Pokémon Trainer in his neighbourhood, smacking down everyone with his trademark Nidoqueen in Pokémon Blue.

Pokémon: Nidoran F, "Amélie"
Gender: Given that Nidoran
F can ONLY be female...
Attacks: Scratch, Growl, Double Kick
Personality: Amélie is a rather timid little Pokémon, who tends to cower when faced with unfamiliar people, territory, or other Pokémon. She's cute though, and she knows it, and with people and Pokémon she knows better, she will use this cuteness to get her way, much like a somewhat spoilt, devious child. As he finds this somewhat of an impish quality, George has named her after the titular character of his favourite film ("Amélie", or "Le fabuleux déstin d'Amélie Poulain"), another rather impish character. In battle, she much prefers special attacks to keep her foe at a distance, but, being only a young Nidoran, she does not know any yet. George has resolved to find a few TMs to provide for this.
... Why yes, I do like Nidoran F, and its evolution line, don't you?
