*Name: Alec Doemin
Alias/Nickname: Norm the II
*Age: 21
*Gender: Male
Sexual Background: Straight
*Occupation: Trainer
*Appearance:
He is five foot eleven inches. His build is that of someone who runs often. He doesn't smile often, but puts one on for others. He genuinely smiles when thinking of the future he wants. His violet eyes are soft, showing the kindness he often has, yet can be hard and piercing if someone insults his honor or the honor of those close to him. He only dresses as he does in the picture for important events, and the clothes are at home, not with him on the road. He can usually be found wearing a loose fitting shirt and a pair of khakis, jeans, or shorts, depending on the weather.
*Personality: He is a prideful man, often defending the pride of himself, his family, and his pokemon if any of those things are insulted are insulted. Along with his pride are his manners, something he doesn't take lightly. He can't stand rudeness in any form, and will often challenge the person to a pokemon battle to "teach him/her a lesson." He'd even challenge someone far stronger than him if that was what it took.
He got his nickname from his grandfather, who was often known as Norm for his choice in pokemon. It was used in mockery, but he taught them a thing of two. The name started gaining respect, and Alec was made the second Norm of the family. Norm accepts the name proudly and answers to it as if it was his own name.
He is embarassed by the fact that training pokemon skipped a generation in his family, and that his father became an accountant instead. It seemed like such boring jobs when compared to that of his grandfather; accounting seems boring anyway.
He doesn't care if he is old to be a starting trainer, having concentrated on school and other such things instead. He knows a great deal about tactics, including a few powerful ones that only Normal pokemon can pull off. He looks at the fact that he started late as an advantage over the younger trainers who are greener. His leaving when he was ten was prevented by his parents tell him to go to school instead of going out into the world.
He has a favoritism of Normal Pokemon, though will use other types too.
*History: His Grandfather had once been a Gym Leader in the Minako Region where Alec was born. Ownership of that Gym was later passed down to the current eight gym leader, and Alec's family was forgotten about. His grandfather had been the strongest of the gym leaders at that time, with his team being Porygon-Z, Togekiss, Blissey, Tauros, and Kangaskhan. The man retired and gave ownership of the gym away because he and his pokemon were getting older and weaker, and all six of them wanted to be remembered as being the strongest Gym Leader and Team, not the old weakening Team. It wasn't passed down to Alec's father or any of his siblings because the interest in pokemon skipped a generation and returned with Alec.
When he was born, Alex, his Grandfather, could tell that Alec would be the family member that wouldn't let their family legacy of Normal Pokemon die. He believed Alec would make it even further than he had.
Alec grew up knowing the strengths of Normal Pokemon, having seen many of his Alex's old matches on tape. Alex is still alive today, though only Porygon-Z and Tokekiss live out of his team of five Gym Pokemon, the rest having passed on. Togekiss isn't as strong as she once was, unable to battle anymore, but is still able to fly people from place to place.
Even with those problems, Alec went to Alex and said he was going to go be a trainer. Alex was proud of his great-grandson and promised him Porygon-Z once he got all eight badges. Alec then left on his way as a trainer, hoping to one day to become a Gym Leader like Alex, or even move past that to a member of the Elite Four and possibly Champion.
It is with that in mind that Togekiss flies Alec to Garuna town and drops him off.
