Re: Mash-up Story Notes.
Personnel File CF-001:
Name: Nathan Tarant
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Green
Skin Complexion: Pale
Height: 2m
Weight: 84kg
Known background details:
-Previously undertook a Trainer's Journey at roughly age 13. Abruptly ended it due to the birth of his younger sister.
-Banned from participation in Pokémon League, including Trainer Battles along the routes. This ban came down due to repeated issues caused by antics and shenanigans performed by several of his Pokémon. The aforementioned antics have been a noted and considerable source of embarassment for Nathan.
-Parents both deceased. Father was an Emergency Responder, hospitalized by injuries from assisting the evacuation of a burning elementary school on day of sister's birth, passed three years later. Mother, a Pokémon breeder of some note, died of complications from childbirth.
-Proceeded to raise his sister, with some assistance from family friends. Sister ended up dying at age 5, due to poor health.
-Recently willed ownership of the family estate, due to the death of his uncle.
Physical appearance:
Tall and slightly imposing, Nathan seems to simultaneously have a calm, introspective demeanour and a commanding presence. Eschewing the "traditional" apparel of the Pokémon Breeders, he wears a well-worn and travel-stained outfit, primarily comprised of earth-toned materials. The most notable feature is the heavy wrap worn in a poncho-style, which hangs down just past his waist. An additional bit of the wrap has been fashioned to serve as a combination of scarf and hood. His bag is kept under the wrap and has an extra pouch on the outside for holding a small journal. His belt has six loops on the front, for storing his carried team, and his boots have compression bands at the top for helping hold the weather out. Of special note is the faceplate that he wears on occasion when the weather gets particularly difficult. A connector to a rebreather pack is incorporated, as is a communication device, including a small speaker for basic, unmuffled speech.
NOTE:
Nathan Tarant has shown evidence of having an unusually perceptive grasp on understanding the body language and noises produced by Pokemon. While not on the level of certain individuals (ref. file 6M-011-TP "N"), Tarant's insights have proven correct with notable frequency. In addition, even wild Pokémon seem to react favorably towards him. This trait has been seen commonly in the Tarant family, and is currently believed to be part of the family's success as breeders.
Additional Notes:
Carried Pokemon:
Serperior: Strafer (ref CF-001a)
Galvantula: Trapper (ref CF-001b)

Chandelure: Phantasm (ref CF-001d)

They're all relatively decent, personality-wise... Most of my problems with doing League competition stems from their lack of concern for collateral damage. And the other matter, for some of them. Tarant.
