James Wilson
Age 16 Birthday October 27, 2003 Gender Male Pronouns He/Him Orientation Demiromantic/Asexual Faction Chimera Class Coordinator Rank Regular Contestant Occupation N/A Hometown Cherry Town, Arciel Current Residence Bass City, Arciel | Personality Jamie is a "dazzling" personality. A natural on the stage, he's been looking forward to being a coordinator since he first got the concept into his little red head. He finds a great amount of joy in controlling a crowd (in a good way). However, he has his insecurities like any performer; he's afraid of appearing disingenuous with those he's around, but moreso that anyone would have a negative opinion of him. He's a people person, and if people don't want to be his people, then he gets upset. Beneath the charm (and obvious attention-seeking issues) Jamie's main goal is finding a Pokemon that nobody has ever seen before, and bringing them to the stage to awe the crowd. This dream had been twisted around by his girlfriend to consider the Ultra Beasts, but he's not totally onboard with the idea of catching such a dangerous beast. Not yet at least. History Jamie was born to Michealla Wilson and an unknown man who was his father in Cherry Town. The man in question was a traveler from Galar, who took advantage of his mother to gain citizenship, and then left her when Jamie was only three. He has no memory of his father but knows he resembles him. This...has weighed a little on Jamie, but it doesn't seem to hurt his mother too much, as the two still loved one another greatly and still have a good relationship to this day. In school he'd get into bits of mischief, but more often than not he just wanted to be the "center of attention". Teachers would joke that he would become an actor or singer, and he took those words as encouragement. He was a very excitable kid. Then in second grade he met a new girl who had moved there from Bass City. She was quiet and angry and seemed to be having trouble making friends, which Jamie took as a challenge. He didn't want her to dislike him after all. Jamie glued himself to Eliza's side, unaware that she was actually older than him by a fair bit (something he's still not aware of to this day), and was determined to make her smile. Surprisingly, and happily for him, it worked! Maybe he reminded her of somebody else she knew. Eliza would pop in and out of his life through school due to her parent's back and forth--and eventually her dropping out to be home schooled--but Jamie continued on. His nature never really changed but he grew better at putting his charisma and energy into where it counted: the stage. There wasn't a school play he didn't have some part in--not always a leading roll, or even a major one, but he was always, ALWAYS there. People just began to associate him with the school theater club. It helped that his shock of red hair made him easier to spot in the background. All the while he spent more time with Eliza outside of school. He even went with her to visit her father in Bass a few times, and met the friends she'd kept from her first school. While nervous at first (and the "baby" of the group) they were all as theatrical as him, and it was easy to get swept up into their dancing and singing and all that fun. On his eleventh birthday, days before Halloween, five years ago, his mother surprised him with a ticket Birch, where he would be able to get his very first Pokemon. Jamie was estatic. As soon as the school year was over he'd be starting his very own Pokemon journey! And then monsters started falling from holes in the side the month before classes ended. Which put a damper on things. Rather than setting out at eleven, Jamie stayed with his mother for another five years, scared to really leave her alone with the world in such an unsure state. And in that time he noticed...weird changes in Eliza. She only wanted to talk about the Ultra Beasts when they were alone now, going on about conspiracy theories and supposed sightings and a lot of stuff that left him a bit confused. He wasn't sure why she was so interested in this. But he liked Eliza, and she was one of his closest friends, so he didn't want to upset her by telling her this stuff bothered him. So he kept quiet and got into it himself. Eventually it started to sound honestly kind of cool. He started thinking more and more about having one of those UBs as his own to show off in competitions--all thanks to Eliza's insistence. Then a day before Halloween, two weeks before Jamie was set to start his Pokemon journey (again), Eliza dropped a bombshell right on him: she admitted she liked him, more than as a friend, and that she wanted to try dating him before he left. Well...Jamie did like Eliza. She was his friend and he adored her and was happy when she was around. But he couldn't quite call the feeling he got "romantic". She looked so scared, though, in a way that he'd never seen her before...so he caved, and agreed. For two weeks the two were "official", and he didn't feel like all that much changed, except for now and then they'd kiss. Which was fine. When the two weeks were up, though, she insisted on waiting to date again until she had finished moving to Bass City, where the two could have a proper, permanent residence together. Again, he agreed. Jamie's still not sure how to feel about any of this. In Birch, Jamie received his first Pokemon; a lovely Oricorio that he named Astaire. In the coming weeks he'd pick up every other "version" of Oricorio he could! Soon he had the whole set, with two out of four of them shiny! With time and practice he plans on turning his little flock into a truly amazingly coordinated team, able to handle anything. With luck and support from his Pokemon, friends, mother, and "girlfriend", it might just be possible. Other |
Appearance
Height 5'05" / 165cm Build Runner's Build Hair Color Vibrantly Red Eye Color Green | Jamie has a head of shockingly red hair and bright green eyes, a tell-tale sign that he likely has some Galar to him than not. His sense of style is ridiculously flamboyant both in costume and out, favoring eye-catching cuts and plenty of color. If it hurts the eyes to look at for too long he probably has it in his closet back home. On the road he does favor more simple, easier-to-travel-in clothing, but in cities (and ESPECIALLY in contest halls) he's a peacock. Aura You'd think it would be red like his hair, but it's not! His aura coils and curls around him like vines of bright oranges and yellows that bounce and move when he's excited. There's a bit of pink that flickered in and out at times near his chest, particularly when he's being childish. |
