Name: Rory Strider
Nickname: None
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Home Region: Holon
Hometown: Holon City
Personality
Overall Personality: Rather rash and complacent, he has little patience for fools. However, he is willing to help others in needed quickly. He can also be seen as slightly romantic to others. He can be a bit of a wise-crack at times. He takes serious pride in his work, and hates incompleting tasks.
Life Goals: Rory doesn’t appear to have any major aspirations aside from seeing all the relics the ancient world has to offer. He reveres Cynthia’s exploration skills, and wishes to see the Regis and discover their origins. He also enjoys the stories of other legends and wishes to see them up close. All of them. He will also protect those legends.
View of Allies/Friends: As a freelance explorer and archaeologist, he doesn’t have many friends or allies. He does hold an amiable disposition to others.
View of Rivals/Enemies: He has little rivals in his field, aside from other explorers that may get to things before him.
View of Pokémon: Rory views Pokémon more of as humans of a different evolution line rather than as animals. Because in all actuality, to him, they all came from a common ancestor.

History:
Rory was born to a middle class family of farmers in Holon, which is north of the Kanto Region. He grew up being schooled at a local school system, apart from the trainers. When he was 7 years old, he assisted a Mentor, a trainer of local renounance, and respect, with his groceries, while his back was in pain. He helped him carry them home. At his home, it was apparent he raised many Pokémon, possibly as a result of his wife’s passing. The elderly man’s closest Pokémon was a Gardevoir, which too showed signs of age. Her son, a Ralts, was with her. The man looked to Gardevior, and the Ralts. She nodded, and knelt to her son. The Ralts looked at his mother for a moment, and he had a form of psychic conversation in four seconds time. The Ralts walked to the seven year old Rory, and smiled. The Mentor handed him his PokéBall.
“A gift to you, for helping me in my time of need. Take good care of him for me, okay, child?”
“…” Rory thought. “…yes sir.”
“Aw, don’t be like that!” The Mentor said, patting Rory on the back. “Son, tell me your name.”
“…Rory. Strider.”
“Well, Rory, I believe that Ralts here will help you on your way to happiness. He is my thank you. Will you accept him?”
“…yes. Thank you, sir.”
“Good! Now, would you like for me to tell you about Pokémon, so you may care for him with a bit more expertise?”
“I have time, yes.”
“Very well… “ He walked to the rear door. “Rory Strider… I’d like to introduce you to… the World of Pokémon.” *he opened the door. The setting sun’s rays cascaded over the green and yellow field behind the house. Many Pokémon grazed. Rory stood appaled. Ralts nudged his leg. Rory looked down, and picked Ralts up.
Years that followed were slightly uneventful. When Rory was 10, all of his friends were already becoming trainers, and leaving on journeys. Several of them had parting battles, and leveled his Ralts up into level 18, resulting in his evolution into Kirlia. Rory said farewell with his newly evolved Kirlia as his friends left their Trainer’s School, and off to Kanto.
Rory, and his father both went on a trip to Johto and Kanto, as Rory wantedto see what his dad did for a profession.
While researching the rock walls in Cianwood, they went to the Safari Zone, where Rory captured a Solrock. He nicknamed it Solran.
A few days later, when visiting the Ruins of Alph, he broke a rock open, and excavated a fossil from it; a Claw Fossil, fron which an Anorith will later be resurrected unto.
After he turned 18, he decided he was going to be an explorer, and uncover ruins and find artifacts to make a living. But his bigger goal? Discover hidden legends, and the truths to the planet, hidden in ancient castles, and the like.
Other:
Rory was born with a talent dubbed by a side game as the Dimensional Scream. However, his variant of it only allows him to witness past events, not ones set in the future, as the future has nor occured yet. This power doesn't work all the time, and requires Rory to be focused on the object, and to touch it.
