Vance

Vance

Background:
Vance is a traveling martial artist. He's working on his own style, based on the moves and movement of Pokemon. He certainly has the skill and body for it. He feels his training methods aren't taking him anywhere, and has asked you to train him. His family runs a fitness center in Braundalin.

Personality:
Vance puts on a mature facade, but he's every bit a boy underneath. His defense mechanism is to act sagely or withdrawn. When he's more relaxed, he likes to tell terrible jokes. He's a bit more street smart than Robin, but a lot less book smart, which is surprising considering his medicinal knowledge. Vance's go-to solution is to power through problems. He respects your training style and wits.

Physical: A colossal mountain of muscle with dark spiky hair. Vance has bulging muscles on top of his other bulging muscles. Although he's your age, he typically looks older thanks to his size and defined features. He dresses in loose thin clothing suitable for fighting and moving around quickly.

Pokemon:

		Machoke. As a Machop, he used to just show up to Vance's family's gym. Nobody knew it was wild for a long time. Machoke likes to fight to for the sake of a good rumble

		Ursaring. Vance fought Ursaring himself after it knocked out Machop. Ursaring resents Vance for catching it like that and is openly hostile most of the time. They've bonded over time and now Ursaring is no longer openly hostile.

		Stunky. Vance caught Stunky in Chloroville using Machop. Stunky seems to obey fine from what you've seen so far.

		Sneasel. You helped Vance catch it when it was 'haunting' a hotel. Sneasel is a troublemaker and a thief.
