LET THE WHOLE THING BLOW
B A S I C I N F O
★ NAME: Takeshi Yamada
★ NICKNAME: Yami
★ MEMBER GROUP: Human
★ POKEMON: Tepig
★ STATUS N/A
★ AGE: 18
★ HEIGHT: 5'10
★ WEIGHT: 156 lbs.
★ FACE CLAIM: Kira Yamato from Gundam SEED
★ APPEARANCE:
Takeshi is of an average height and lean, though if you ask his mother, he's not eating enough and needs to put on a little bit of weight. He's not the most distinguishable figure there is, and it's easy for him to get lost in a crowd. His hair, a nice shade of brown, is kept thick and short. Yet, it's still long enough that it tends to hang in his violet colored eyes, which leads to him flicking it from his face. He knows he should get a cut more than once in a while, but he's a little partial to the length it's presently at for some reason or another.
That's not to say he's a messy dresser, he's quite neat in fact. He likes baths and takes them often, especially after battles or tending to his Pokemon. He doesn't mind getting dirty, it's staying dirty that he doesn't like. Just like he dislikes wearing clothes that feel overly restrictive. He wants to be able to move in what he wears, so it's usually garments that are loose, without hanging from his limbs, and comfortable, weather and season appropriate. He doesn't go for very much decoration, though he is particularly partial to the pendant around his neck - it was his father's, and Takeshi considers it to be a good luck charm of sorts.

★ OVERALL PERSONALITY:
As a child, Takeshi was always sensitive and shy. As he grew, and took on more responsibilities, he gained a certain confidence that's managed to stick with him as a young adult. He tries his best not to dwell on the past, but sometimes he finds himself slipping into old habits, such as when he's sick: he becomes clingy and emotional. For the most part though, even when he's well, he needs human contact - you could say he even craves the presence of another.
When he's forced to be alone, for any amount of time, it pushes him out of his comfort zone. This can lead to a fierceness that surprises even Takeshi himself. It also leads him to push himself to his limits with vigorous activity, or to take up the time of his Pokemon because hey, any amount of company is better than no company. Maybe it's not always the smartest thing to do - they can only take so much, he suspects - but it takes away the edge, gives him back his sense of self.
All things aside, he prides himself on being a good person. He'll go out of his way to help another, though he never loses sight of his own needs, and he thinks he's over all decent. But on the battlefield with a Pokemon he can be rather vicious, and even when the battle is over with, it's hard for him to come down from that high. Outside of them, he lavishes his Pokemon with attention and takes care of them, knowing if he tends to them properly, they'll be there for him in return.

H I S T O R Y
- The only son in a relatively large family, there was much expectation placed on Takeshi's shoulders as he grew. He knew from an early age what was expected of him, and for the most part, he was eager to please his elders. His mother was a teacher, while his father was a Pokemon trainer. Education was a priority, as was learning all there was to know about the Pokemon. There were few other options for Takeshi, not that he would have accepted them when he was a boy - he was all but certain he was going to be a trainer like his father.
- The disease impacted his family in a terrible way. His father, the only one who was out and about in the world, contracted the disease. Even though he was able to get the "cure", he didn't survive the procedure. Takeshi and the rest of his family was otherwise untouched by the illness, due to the remote location in which they lived, but because of the death of his father, Takeshi's mother decided to move from the outskirts to the city itself, where her own parents lived. Takeshi didn't want to leave the place of his birth, but he had no choice.
- Large and scary, those were the only words Takeshi could think of when they arrived in what would be his new home. He was of a decent age at that point, but it didn't stop him from being uncertain about his future. He wanted to be a trainer like his father had been, but on the other hand, he knew he had to help take care of his family. It was his mother that encouraged him to follow the path he wanted by reminding him it was what his father wanted for him. The next day, he obtained his Tepig.
- Even with Tepig by his side, Takeshi still had doubts about being a trainer. If not for his mother, and the rest of his family, he might not have gone out to explore beyond the edges of the city. The first few battles were anything but successful, but with time came learning, and when he won his first match, Takeshi was all but certain he'd found his calling. He returned home long enough to share the news with his family, before setting off again, this time a little more confident, a little more certain of what he was doing. When he ran into an old childhood friend, their friendly rivalry was rekindled and the pair made a pact to travel together.
