Aaron Toral's Plots!
Personality: Somewhat closed off, he has opened up, though is still as uncaring about the general populace as ever. He cares more about his age group's thoughts than anyone else's, and is as hard as ever to truly get close to. He values memorials almost to an insane degree, even perfectly able and willing (and has done so) to smash a person's fingers/toes to find out who put them up to desecrating graves of any kind. Likewise, he has grown somewhat protective of
Eris Halla for reasons he doesn't understand...though he thinks its because of
John Sullivan 's protectiveness over the girl. He values hard work, and firmly believes one has to earn their positions in life through said hard work. For this reason, he really admires
Hideo Kino and his resolve. He is not easily scared due to his past events, though seem to have just grown harder since the church clean up and new "tattoo". He is heavily concerned with his Trevenant though, as he has not been the same since. He's usually a very stoic and emotionless child, making it like pulling teeth to make him so much as smile.
Relationships:
Keenan Toral - His older brother. Kee dotes on Aaron a lot, and while he doesn't disapprove, he's not always receptive either. Still, he loves his "second" (and both of them really, Aaron's the youngest of three) brother. He also wants his bro to become more reliable and live up to his potential as a trainer, and wants him to work hard at whatever he hopes to find for his own journey.
Hideo Kino - The blind boy with big dreams, and well on his way to attaining them. Aaron is both impressed and admires the resolve of the younger boy. He's definitely cheering Hideo on, and hopes to be there in person if/when he challenges the champion of Hoenn. They get along well, and is possibly the closest of the "Kid's Club" for him to call "friend."
FriendsJohn Sullivan - A gym leader that told him much about what they do, Doug was an excellant source of information. If a bit disheartening, but nothing that would be a deal breaker for Aaron should he decide pursue the path of a Gym Leader. Not just the youngest of the gym leaders, Doug had earned his respect with how he holds himself and his own actions and conversations Ace has had with him. Aaron is honestly looking forward to see how his brother battles him, and looking forward to challenging him himself.
FriendEris Halla - A young girl with a crossbow and no problems using it, Aaron is concerned about her upbringing. Still, she was sweet and nice enough to him, so he reciprocates and gladly takes on the role as big brother/babysitter, often following Doug's lead. Still, he doesn't know much about her, but is mildly curious.
Friend?Other Kid's Club Members - He honestly doesn't remember them much, namely due to not ever encountering them again in his travels. He knows there are two other members, not counting the one that passed away or Andy that moved back to Galar, but that's about it. He can picture their faces, but nothing else.
Elaine Highland - The witness to how far Aaron can and will go if someone pisses him off enough. A temporary ally at the time.
Aquintance
MATIAS SILPH - Aaron has found out that he tried to kill Eris. And that's not cool. This forced her into being with Rocket.
Enemyalec foster - A gym leader, Aaron thought that the guy was overestimating Rocket or underestimating himself. While Aaron more thinks the former since working with him exploring the Ultra Deep Sea, he has warmed up some to the man.
Aquintance, potential friendWanteds
Friends: Always welcome! Oh, and further cementing current potentials/almost friends.
Significant Other: Not really looking. Age is part of it, as they would have to be around his age as well.
Rival: He doesn't have one, and I'm really interested in this. Bonus points if they're from Littleroot and has a grudge against him.
Goal: To find out more about becoming and being a gym leader.
If I missed anything/anyone, let me know in discord. I'm also open to any plots with Aaron!
