Personality
[break][break]

A wild dog much like the Pokémon he surrounds himself with, Connor is known for being unruly and unpredictable. There are few things shorter than his temper but he tries his best to keep it under control when he recognizes the need to remain calm, even if it doesn't always work. For the many traits he shares with the canine species, not all of them are negative. He has demonstrated in this past his fierce loyalty and commitment to others, as well as a remarkable ability to tune into their emotions. This is to not even make mention of Connor's keen sense of smell that some say borders on the supernatural, though is nothing more than a genetic aberration. 
[break][break]
Associating with Connor can be somewhat of a mixed bag due to his dubious behavior, but to those he cares about they will find nothing more than a loyal and compassionate companion in either business or love. It doesn't take much other than positive reinforcement to turn this hellhound into a sweet puppy. Just don't get bitten, unless that is your thing. [break][break]

Appearance[break][break]

Height: 6'0[break][break]


Weight: 145 lbs[break][break]


Despite the youth's obvious behavioral similarities to the canine Pokémon species, Connor prefers to keep himself rather clean and well groomed. His slate colored hair runs a decent length, seeming to prefer to keep it on the longer side for not particular reason. Now that he no longer is living on the streets and has a steady income, he tries to dress in a series of black suits that hide his lower socioeconomic standing. Connor prefers to keep himself in good physical condition due to the fact that he likes to handle most of his problems with his fists instead of using his Pokémon to fight his fights for him, making his body tone rather lithe and athletic.

[break][break]History[break][break]

Alone for a long as he can remember, Connor doesn't have a single memory of his parents. As an infant he was discovered alone and crying in the bustling city of Rustboro, soon to be turned over to an orphanage in the city where he would get the care he needed. Growing up he was a loner and a troublemaker, not really fitting in among the children he was placed with in the orphanage home and furthermore progressing into petty crimes during his teenage years. [break][break]


It wasn't long before Connor was tired of living under the constraints of the orphanage, feeling as though he could take care of himself better living in the streets. At the age of sixteen he disappeared into the night and started his live as a homeless teen and his career as a criminal, stealing what he needed to survive and breaking into all kinds of buildings to have a place to sleep. Each day it got harder and harder to live this life, and Connor was even on the verge of giving up before meeting a pack of stray Pokémon in the city. [break][break]

They were the same as himself, abandoned and alone, struggling to survive in a metropolis that didn't care about them. It wasn't long before the sensitive Connor was able to earn their trust, relying on each other and becoming almost like the first family he'd ever had. Things only began to pick up from there, even managing catching a break doing some small time work for some people he'd later discover were Team Rocket. Connor was given a job working as a bartender in an establishment that was a front for an underground gambling ring that lived just below the pavement, it was understood that he would keep the undesirables out and maybe he'd find his own place among the Rockets. [break][break]


It was strange to say that he'd found a family among organized crime and the Pokémon he'd happened upon during one fateful rainy day, but he finally felt as though he was accepted and no longer alone.
