Can't draw for shit, but I've burned out on all the writing progress I could get done today and feel like yapping so I'll post the MC of a fanfic I've been writing.
His name's Kuzey Ferris, he's a 15 year old boy whose family is traced back to an long line of Kalosian aristocracy, but spent most of his life being raised in Paldea, in a cliffside villa-turned research lab a short drive west of Alfornada. His mother, Eclat Ferris, carried on her father's research into mapping the Pokemon genome with the help of her husband, Barris. Kuzey lived happily there for most of his life, until when he was 13 years old both of his parents vanished overnight without a trace - their only parting gift to him a Charcadet whom he named Crest, and has been like a little brother to him ever since.
He spent two years afterward as an honorary attendee at Naranja Academy under the guardianship of La Primera, who kept an eye on him while the International Police searched for his parents. But as the search dragged on, his aunt Bounvialle in Kalos, a world-renowned DJ and performer, petitioned for custody of the boy to be with his family at their family chateau with her. The day his train arrives at Lumiose City, nine years after the events of X & Y, is when his journey truly begins.
He's something of a coward, utterly terrified of Pokemon battles, and has to constantly fight back the urge to seize up and collapse when violence takes place around him, and he's sarcastic, often seeing the worst in others and judging them harshly for it. But despite his unsociable nature, he can't help but seem to keep from getting involved when someone else is in danger.
Crest, his only Pokemon before the fic starts, is a hothead, prideful, and a brat, happy to pester his trainer and be showered in praise by others. But even if he'd never admit it, what he really wants to see most is for Kuzey to beat the fears holding him back from becoming a real Trainer, and finally fight.
