Physical Appearance
Information:

Hair Color: Dark brown, almost black
Eye Color: Blueish-grey
Height: 5' 10"
Build: While at one point he was rather athletic, the years have finally caught up to him. Gordon is fairly lean and gaunt, and at times almost haggard in appearance. Despite this, for the most part he basically looks like your average joe.

Other Appearance Information:
Truth be told, as average as Gordon is it would be very unlikely that you could pick him out of a crowd. His dark brown hair is cut fairly short at the sides, tapering to a longer cut nearer the top of the head. Gordon doesn’t like to put too much effort into his hair, so this is the same hair style he’s had for the past six years or so and usually just runs a comb through it. There is often a thin layer of stubble that always cover his cheeks, regardless of how many times he shaves during the day. His face is sort of lean and almost gaunt, similar to the rest of his body. There are really only two sets of clothes one might see him in; his occupational uniform (which basically consists of a pair of jeans and a shirt with the logo of his workplace on the left breast), and his everyday clothes (typically jeans and either some sort of mundane tee shirt or a solid colored polo shirt, which are mostly dull, drab, unnoticeable colors).

Personal Related
Information:

Personality:
For the most part, Gordon is a pretty nice guy to be around once you get to know him. At first glance, however, one might be deterred by his seemingly aloof and dismal attitude. However, once you get to know him, Gordon is a kind, caring, and generous man. Willing to help those he calls ‘friends’, if you earn his loyalty he would gladly give you even the shirt off his back if it could benefit you in some way. Gordon is also very intelligent and literate, and appreciates a good political or intellectual conversation. However, because of his kindness, Gordon can be a bit of a pushover at times. He is also fairly paranoid of others, and has several social anxiety issues, which means he doesn’t tend to socialize much if he can help it. Gordon also tends to burden himself with more responsibility than someone should, but proves to be a diligent worker and always gets the job done or task accomplished. In regards to his sexuality, Gordon knows he is indeed gay but never acknowledges it. Because of this, he has had only a few relationships, and all of those were with females during his teens when he tried to convince himself that he was straight. He doesn’t flirt, and you probably wouldn’t have a clue that he was gay unless he trusted you enough to tell you (and in his case, he probably trusts you with his life).

History:
Gordon was born to Mariah and Daniel Stabler, a young couple who had recently moved to a small apartment in the Nada Citadel. During his early years, Gordon’s life was fairly normal. That is, it was until his father was killed when he walked in on a robbery. At the time, Gordon was only twelve, and this seriously traumatized the boy. He began to isolate himself from his mother and other people close to him, which in turn lead to his social anxieties in later years. A year later, his mother presented him with a gift to help him cope with the pain he felt at his father’s death; his very first Pokemon, a little male Nidoran. Though he continued to isolate himself from humans, Gordon would spend hours playing and caring for his beloved companion, whom he lovingly christened Butch. Unfortunately, things would soon take a turn for the worse.

When Gordon was fourteen, his mother remarried to a man named Jacob Maxwell. The man proved to be a terrible father and husband, spending most of his money on alcohol and would often beat Gordon and Butch. It was also during these two years that Gordon slowly began to discover his sexuality, but because of his step-father’s homophobic ideologies Gordon never (and has yet to) ‘come out’. At the age of sixteen, Gordon packed up his belongings and fled from home, and soon became a Pokemon trainer. He proved to be a good one at that, and made much progress in the short five years he spent training. Gordon was forced to put his dream on the back-burner when Mewtwo arrived in Remoor and the conflict began. He returned home to the Nada Citadel, where he visited his mother (who by that time had divorced from Jacob) shortly before getting his own apartment. While he hoped that someday he could pursue his dreams of training Pokemon once more, this proved to be nearly impossible due to the financial situation he found himself in and the destruction the conflict between Mewtwo and Pravus caused. It is partially because of this that Gordon holds a particular animosity for corporate conglomerates and large businesses in general.

Characters Pokemon:


Name: Butch
Gender: Male
Species: Nidorino
Age: 17
Level: 35
Personality:
Butch is a very loyal Pokemon, and will defend his comrades with his life. He is especially protective of Gordon, and will not hesitate to tear you to pieces if you bring him harm. In fact, Butch is almost possessive of Gordon, and tends to become jealous of humans that get particularly close to him. While he acts tough and cold towards others, he's actually very sweet towards his comrades and Gordon, as side of the Nidorino which few ever see. Either way, Butch is always up for a fight, and likes to hit his opponents hard and fast. He can speak human, but rarely does unless he is around Gordon.

Name: Samantha
Gender: Female
Species: Ninetails
Age: 23
Level: 34
Personality:
Samantha is cool, level-headed, and at times somewhat seductive. She's definitely effeminate, but she is also impressively strong mentally, physically, and emotionally. While a hopeless romantic, Samantha is also somewhat motherly to her fellow Pokemon and is particularly fond of young humans and Pokemon. She also, however, enjoys flaunting her feminine charm and grace, usually having males chase after her and females enraged by her. In truth, she is often times suspicious of males in particular, unless she knows them well.
She doesn't speak human well, but knows enough of it to get by if the occasion called for it.

Name: Ace
Gender: Male
Species: Pidgeotto
Age: 14
Level: 32
Personality:
Ace is typically a happy-go-lucky Pokemon, and with him around there's always going to be someone smiling or laughing. He lives to please, and finds joy in bringing others joy. He can be a bit of a push-over at times, and is a bit sensitive to teasing. Like his owner, he can be a bit paranoid and suspicious of others. Though he doesn't enjoy hurting others, battling is fun for him and he often performs various aerial feats while in combat. Ace speaks human, but never does.

• Tackle
  
• Gust
  
• Quick Attack
  
• Whirlwind
  
• Twister
  
• Aerial Ace (TM)

Role Playing
Sample:

Gordon woke to the same blaring alarm clock, it’s red numbers glaring angrily at him as it’s obnoxious screams echoed through the small bedroom. He hastily slammed the snooze button, and sat up in his bed. It was 6:30 a.m., that dreaded hour of the morning where he, like most adults, would have to get up and get ready for work. Suddenly, he noticed a mass stirring under the blankets towards the end of the bed, and pulled them off to reveal a barely waking Nidorino stretching luxuriously. Gordon couldn’t help but chuckle a bit as the purple creature stood up sleepily, stretching his limbs before tumbling onto the floor, “Butch, how many times have I told you to stop sleeping on my bed?” the man asked, leaning over the side of the bed to see the dazed Pokemon stand up and shake himself, “Oh sure, the human gets the bed while the lowly Pokemon has to sleep on the ground. Not cool, Gordy,” replied the Nidorino jokingly. With that remark Butch padded out of the room, probably to wake up the other Pokemon. Gordon just shook his head and laughed before heading to the bathroom to get ready for work.

By the time he had finished showering and getting dressed, it was about 7:00 a.m. Fortunately, this meant he had enough time to have breakfast. He walked into the kitchen, to find the refrigerator open and find his three Pokemon fighting over what they wanted to eat. Gordon decided it would be a good time to intervene before things got ugly, “Hey guys, settle down. Pancakes sound good to everyone?” All three of the Pokemon replied positively to this, and Gordon soon set about making breakfast for the four of them. Unfortunately, by the time he had finished his own pancakes he was nearly late for work. With a pancake hanging out of his mouth, he called a hasty goodbye to his companions before driving off to his mundane occupation. As chaotic as most would’ve thought this morning ritual was, it was routine for Gordon and company.
