Age: 18
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual, Biromantic
Profession: Survivor
Occupation: Wrangler
Mentor: The Ambassador
Appearance:
Eslyn is a person that can get the job done, even if he doesn't look that way. He is a slim tall lad (being 6 feet and all) and doesn't seem to posses any real skills. That is of course only strengthened by his mediocre looks, his mediocre voice and his mediocre interest in anything around him.
He has dark brown hair that never sits right, falls just over his ears and gets fluffy as hell when it dries after a shower, or any kind of contact with liquids. He has boring brown eyes which often have a hint of yellow in them if one looks good. His face is nothing more than it was 10 years ago when he was just a little kid in the sense that he has no hard manly corners and thus is often referred to as "kid" by others.
As mentioned Eslyn is of a slim build. There ain't much flesh on his body except for his legs. Years of spending time in water every day made his legs his tools. He uses them to run fast and is able to keep up with wild pokémon in open fields.
Everyday clothes:
With a closet full of the same 2 shirts Eslyn is often seen with either his Yellow shirt with long black sleeves with a picture that has faded heavily through the years, or his blue T-shirt without an imprint. He is used to free movement with his lower body and thus wears mostly black shorts, which on rare occasions is swapped for long trousers when the temperature reaches critical levels but never wears anything like coats etc. To compensate for the open legs when running through forests, and his own protection he wears a set of highly durable and light plates around his legs. The same material is aslo used for a light set of armour around his chest and arms. Around his neck he carries a token from his sister who died when she was back in the survivor corps. The token is the gem of an Espeon enclosed in a silver moon.
For his shoes Eslyn opted for running shoes he saved for a long time (Though they're not anywhere in the state they were when he bought them) They have withheld a lot of running and can go for at least double of what he's ran up till now.
Formal Garbs:
Eslyn doesn't seem like the type but when it's needed he has a set of "special occasion emergency clothes" hidden in a black box in his closet. The set is a black blouse with a yellow tie and complimenting black trousers. He also has a pair of shoes in there but he never actually wears them because they are not fit for any heavy running and legend says that Eslyn doesn't even take his normal shoes off in bed, let alone when going to a party or something.
Pack:
Eslyn carries a casual backpack with extra straps around them to not make it jiggle as much when moving. It has a secret compartment for his valuables and whatever he doesn't want his mates to see. He also modified it so that there are sacks for every pokeball.
Personality:
Eslyn is the kind of guy you speak to once because he stand in your spot and tell him to move. Eslyn just doesn't realize he's standing there. He's one that moves with whatever he is pushed into and doesn't moan too much. He also keeps quiet most of the times but once you ignite his interest in anything, he can't and won't stop till you know everything. He has an advanced masters degree in modern sarcasm as he tells everyone and once he sees someone as a friend he teases them a lot.
He isn't the brightest and often says something that turns out to be completely inaccurate.
Eslyn isn't the most confident guy in the world and it shows. He often gets really quiet in a conversation while he is thinking hard about a reply and everything that others might think about it, and crosses out anything that is mean or offensive to anyone. Because he cares about others who he likes he is also victim to easy seduction. He is grown up enough to find a girls (or a very persuasive guy's) company comforting but might get comfortable too quick, resulting in being used several times through his early puberty. This result to not trusting anyone with long black hair, and detesting anyone that talks too sweet to him.
Often does Eslyn brag about himself. And he is in for a challenge, as long as it involves him winning 100% of the time. When he loses he accepts defeat but often doesn't stop anyway and keeps challenging the other. It also means he has grown a will to never stop fighting, always trying to best the next big thing and even does so till the point that he has to be carried away by teammates as he goes past his limits.
When heading into battle he isn't stupid, he knows his pokémon extraordinarily well and knows how to use himself and them to their max. He often makes last minute decisions and never comes out of battle uninjured. His pokémon and teammates however are his top priorities. He is often seen sacrificing himself rather than letting others take a blow and he magically always finds a way to recover.
He finds pokémon extremely dangerous before gets his hands on them, but never sees them as lesser beings and always fights and treats them how he treats any other. He has respect for them and is often found playing with his own pokémon rather than socializing with others. He has deep feelings for his own pokémons and he never keeps them in their pokéballs for too long when outside of battle and travel. He is often broke by treating them a bit too much.

Backstory:
Being born and raised in this world has made him curious about the world behind the portal, the world from which he has heared many stories. He never bothered reading about it but he often goes around and asking older people about their time on the other side.
His mother and father were young when they got his older sister and 9 years later he was born. He was very close to his dear sister and she taught him everything he knows, even how to run like he does. When he was younger his sister, who was a survivor like he is now, died when she went out alone after she was called back early from a previous mission and didn't hear from the rest of her team for several days in search for them. This devastated young Eslyn and once her broken body was recovered and burried he got his sister's token. An item he has hold close to his heart every day since that day. And he still is trying to find whatever got her killed.
Eslyn has a tight bond with his family, friends and fellow pokémon that his family has kept over the years. Many were pokémon from the old world and since he was a child he has seen several growing up, including a Umbreon and a Swellow. There was an Espeon at first, who was paired with Umbreon, accompanying his sister in her days but she wasn't seen after her sisters death.
In recent years he has gone through many different stages of his life but never really accomplished anything. When he turned 17 he announced to his family he'd follow his sister in to becoming a Wrangler and his parents convinced him to hold off till he was 18 years of age, when they had no longer control over him. He's now ready to show his potential, always hoping to find clues to his sisters death.
