SALAMANECE, GYANARA OTHELLO
--
- BASICS -
Alias: Gyan
Real Name: Gyanara Ignotus Salamanece
Age: 52
Sex: Male
Occupation: Kanto Region Indigo League Champion.
Appearance:
Gyan holds himself high, with a dignity long earned by a veteran pokemon trainer who has held the throne of Champion in Kant for almost thirty years. Scars are hard to see against his inherited pale skin and through the shadows cast by his sharp features. As all the pure-blooded males of his family were born with, Gyans hair is snowy white. It falls in a lazy curl to the base of his neck. His deep purple eyes are set narrow and sharp behind thin, rectangle-framed glasses. He stands at about five feet and seven inches tall, and weighs about one hundred and thirty-six pounds.
Gyan often dresses according to his affinity for expensive garb and designer items of clothing. Tailored suits, or fitted sweaters with neatly pressed slacks and shined, black leather shoes. With or without the jacket, he normally wears buttoned dress shirts that are sometimes open, loose, tucked-in, whatever his mood fits. He sometimes wears his fancy solid platinum Champions ring with a ruby/diamond pokeball (about the size of a dime) outlined in 24 karat gold embroidery.

- PERSONAL INFO -
Personality: Relaxed and calm, Gyan likes to think outside of the box, especially in Pokemon battles. He's witty and charming, but knows exactly how to get in the dirty when things get going tough. A Pokemon battle is separated from everything else for this strategist, and he does everything he can to see his pokemon through to the end of it.
Whenever Gyan gets angry, hurt, or ashamed, he begins to calculate everything and becomes very cold on the outside, shutting out everyone and everything but the task at hand. Few people have had the patience to work with him, save for his rival. He's extremely thoughtful, and on his downtime you'll often see him staring off into space, deep inside his own head.
History: Born in Saffron City, Gyan grew up in the streets watching trainers come to battle at the Fighting and Psychic gyms in the city and watching kids battle each other in the alley ways. Until he was thirteen, three years after he could've gotten his trainers license, Gyan studied hard at the Fuji Memorial Pokemon Academy in Lavender Town that he rode his bicycle two and from each day. After securing A-honor roll in all Pokemon-related classes for a few years in a row, the itch to become a trainer became too much for Gyan, and his father finally agreed to drive him to Pallet town, where Gyan would select his first Pokemon and begin his quest!
Standing by himself in Professor Oaks laboratory, with a backpack full of provisions and an empty Pokeball-Clip on his belt, Gyan quickly selected Charmander after hours of contemplation in the car. He released the Pokemon, and looked down at the Charmander, which cooed and waved its arms happily, but...seemed different. Much bigger than he had imagined. And the fire types skin seemed darker, thicker, stronger. His movement was more fluid and reflexive, especially for a young Charmander. Upon questioning this, Professor Oak simply scratched his head and said "That Charmander is the offspring of one of the strongest Charizards I have ever seen, I guess it's just genetics!" An approving nod came from an older young man sitting on a sofa nearby Gyan had never seen before. His hair was thick and black, and a Pikachu sat snoozing on his lap.
Setting out on his journey a few hours later, an excitable Charmander newly named Samir walked beside of him, both their senses alert with nerves. Here it was. Gyan hoped those extra three years of training would pay off.
------------------------------------
Pay off it did. Over the next years, Gyan snagged badges and stomped trainers all the way up the routes. Only when ambushed by Team Aqua members opening fire in a crowded town square during his second year of traveling did Gyan start to see the bigger world around him. He joined Team Rocket, taking a ride on the wild side. Gyan went undercover, stole money and jewels, reaped the benefits, and proved his worth all the way up to the rank of Admin. When the war finally escalated, Team Rocket fought hard to step in between the violent Team's Aqua and Magma, whose plans (of either setting off huge chains of volcanoes with explosives to extend the land or melting ice caps to expand the sea) were sure to destroy countless innocent lives.
With no lives, there's no money, right?
With eyes on the prize, Rocket Admins including Gyan and his older brother, Iggy, took squads to the goal and stopped both the radical teams from unleashing a natures fury that could have even awakened the ancient gods of Land and Sea. Lives were saved and Rocket was definitely taking the credit, setting up a front that would cover unspeakable criminal activity for years to come. All was well...until Ignotus Salamance put a silenced .45 to the head of Donetello Giovanni (son of the late Giovanni, former Rocket Leader), stole the documents that the Aqua and Magma leaders had handed over, and fled on the back of his Flygon, and remains to be unseen since.
Rocket eventually got a new leader. Gyan was constantly scrutinized and shunned for his brothers actions, causing him to quit Team Rocket at the age of seventeen and continue on his quest for badges.
--------------------------------------
Time passed, the child grew into a man, met a woman, fathered a son, and meet challengers about every week or so who would actually make it all the way to the top. Some were very, very good, some had even come close, but Gyan held his title high above his head.
That all changed the night Gyan got the letter.
He agreed and sent it back.
She didn't like it, and she left.
Now the Champion waits calmly in his suite at the Resort Area, deep in thought, ready to pursue this competition with a vigor he hadn't felt in years, all the criminal career money he could ever need sitting in a tightly sealed bank account, accessible only by the black debit card in his wallet.
