The Basics
Hey! I'm Alexander Louis Lookingland! My friends call me Alex, to some but usually just Alexander. I'm twenty eight years old and my birthday is on October 31. My job is Elite Four? and I'm striving to be the best!
The Looks
I'm about 6' 3" high and I weight about 168 lbs. My eyes are gray and my hair is black. Some people even say that I look like Hei from Darker Than Black. My clothing style is causal, although i like to look nice. I would never wear anything too extravagant that I couldn't move around easily, but on the same token I would never be caught dead in ratty jeans or a T-shirt. I tends to wear nicely fitted clothing, and usually groomed very well. My hair always tends to be a little disheveled, and is easily the one thing about my appearance that I let slip by..
The Background
My parents are Franklin Jacob Lookingland and Kara Maria Looingland nee Hobbs and I have one siblings. Here's a little bit more about me.
(Alexander was born a mere six months after his parents shotgun wedding. He was the first child of Franklin Jacob Lookingland, a respected Pokemon professor, and Kara Maria Hobbs, his eighteen year old assistant who was thirty years his junior. The marriage came about only because the Hobbs parents pressured Franklin into proposing immediately after the pregnant was discovered. The entire thing caused a huge commotion in the small community, and it felt like the entire town was awaiting Alexander's birth.
Alexander seemed to have almost known about the attention he was getting from his birth, and almost thumbed his nose at those around him. He was a fussy child, a crier for no reason and immensely picky. He was known to cry and wail when being held, randomly pick someone to be fond of, and then just as quickly toss them aside. His first word was "NO!", and he ran early to terrorize the town. Most importantly though, Alexander learned how to play the game. He was well aware of the disdain his parents had towards him, and each other. Franklin Lookingland never wanted to be tied down by a wife and child, and Kara Hobbs had always dreamed of striking out on her own and making it big. Alexander halted both of their dreams, sticking a wedge in the threesome of a family. He learned what neighbors to play nice to at what times to get the information, items, etc that he wanted to obtain.
The most important thing to happen to Alexander in his hometown however, was that he learned about Pokemon. Both his mother and father were knowledgeable, and at an early age he received his first Pokemon. She became his pride and joy, someone and something he trusted immensely. He grew fiercely attached to his Pokemon, and slowly accumulated more. He never focused on being a "gotta catch them all!" trainer, but instead on the relationship he grew. In result, while he knew a lot about Pokemon, he never really had any first hand information. For example, he knows full well that a Pikachu is a difficult and stubborn Pokemon to train, especially right after obtaining it. However, he's never TAUGHT that species, only LEARNED about it from various resources. Still, his knowledge base is deep.
Around the age of 10 Alexander's parents reconciled, and for a while they were happy. At age 12 Juliet Sara Lookingland was born, and Alexander became a big brother. To say that she was his pride and joy... Well, that really wasn't an exaggeration. Her birth was a happy time for the Lookinglands, and although Franklin and Kara grew apart once again - infidelity rumors ran rampant on both ends - Juliet kept them happy and together.
Eventually Alexander had to strike out on his own. He left to forge his own path and wandered for several years before earning the status to become a member of the Elite Four.
