[cs=2] [style=text-align: center; font-family: open sans condensed; font-size: 16px; border-bottom: solid 2px #222222; margin-bottom: 4px; text-transform: center;]FULL NAME Hadrian Motzko. He has no particular hangups about his name. BACKGROUND Once upon a time in Saffron City a jerk was born and his name was Hadrian. He did not change for 26 years. The end. Hadrian (DOB September 7th, age 26) is the second child of a businessman from Saffron City and his wife, a champion Pokemon trainer of some renown. His older sister Ariadne looked much like their mother and was his father's pride and joy, and Hadrian competed furiously with her for his father's attention. On the other hand, his mother had encouraged Hadrian's interest in Pokemon as a boy. It was always obvious that of the two, she favored him and considered him a potential heir to her legacy because her daughter had shown no interest. Unfortunately, she died of an illness while he was quite young. This exacerbated his problems with his father, who was heartbroken. Hadrian sorely missed his mother's attention and began to seek a replacement. He found it when he began to train Pokemon of his own, and proved to be good at it. While Ariadne proved to have an excellent head for business and to be a worthy heir, Hadrian retreated into optimizing living creatures to fight one another. When he was eleven his father found that heartbreak did not last forever and remarried. Hadrian's relationship with his "new" mother was adversarial at best. She was not Mom and no one would ever be Mom again. Soon, he had a baby brother. While he could not leave to go on a great journey to do stuff like some kids did, Hadrian still honed his skill against as many opponents as he could find in his hometown. He caught local Pokemon to train and was rigorous and thorough, releasing those which proved to be less satisfactory. Though he had no psychic ability and had no particular fondness for the type he threw himself and his young team against the other trainers there with gusto. Hadrian's father and his new wife encouraged their wayward middle child to pursue something practical, but he was dead set on making this his career and the opposition made him cling all the harder. He would be good at this, he would earn adulation from people because he couldn't get it at home. He made a name for himself as he got older. He traveled, he competed in tournaments, he used the cash prizes to further his efforts and acquire better Pokemon. In the meantime, his sister became a successful businesswoman and he found that despite how his baby brother was yet another example of how it seemed everyone could earn their father's approval but him, he came to like the kid. In fact, Hadrian is probably most personable when he talks to his brother. Then Hadrian had a losing streak, a truly impressive one, and the further it went the angrier he became. Finally, bitter and defeated and with his reputation in tatters, Hadrian retreated from the rest of the world to train harder and alone. Nobody's really heard from him since, and his occasional attempts to resurface in tournaments ceased with Lux's dismantling of the practice. Hadrian is strongly opposed to Lux's goal of ending battles, and considers Pokemon little more than animals serving as tools for him to hone. OCCUPATION Hadrian is a well-versed professional trainer, and as such can be considered a Ace Trainer. ALLEGIANCE Hadrian is an equal-opportunity jerkface, but he is particularly grumpy with Lux's attempt to destroy his one and only true love competitive Pokemon battles. So, he's Nox. TRAITS [/style]

[cs=2] SECRETS:

▪ Does not know what he'd do with himself without battles
▪ Has defeated several members of the varying E4's in the past, but never the strongest and never a champion.
▪ Was once given a lucrative offer to participate in rigged battles for Team Rocket, but turned it down because a predetermined outcome is unacceptable.
▪ Pokemon have died in his care before, and there have been several incidents where his team members have killed in nonlethal competition. He's older now and these incidents stopped, but they still live in memory of anyone who followed his level of competition.[/div][/td][/tr]
