LIAM JAMES PARKER
TWENTY-EIGHT / MALE / PANSEXUAL / TRAINER /
PERSONALITY
Parker is the kind of man who you can both admire and absolutely despise at the same time. He's just that talented really. And as far as his personality, it is completely subjective depending on the person analyzing it. Now for starters, most people can see him to be quite an intimidating man. He's strong, that much is certain, and he can put up a tough front if need be. But if you get close enough, you can see he's not as big and bad as he comes off to look. For starters, he's lazy. And I mean really lazy. If it takes too much work or the task is simply too boring to accomplish, you can be certain he'll lose interest and not see it worth his time. He's also quite sarcastic and can come off as a bit rude due to his carelessness and general 'act without thinking' habit. And god knows he can be pretty immature, even a bit perverted despite his age. Actually he often has to remind himself he is nearly thirty years old and should at least act like it. Not that he ever does but what's the point of stressing details?
Despite all that, he's not a bad guy. Far from it actually! It just takes someone with patience to see past all the attitude and see the softer side behind that rough exterior. Frankly, he is a very friendly and playful sort of guy, even a bit of a goof if given the chance. And he's extremely protective; used to be called the guard dog by his sisters bullies when they were younger because of how quick he was to jump in the line of fire to keep her safe. And despite how he may act, he's very generous as well, willing to give someone the shirt off his back if they need it, no matter where their alignments lie. It's not unusual for him to help out other trainers on the road either; that is after they stopped running away from the big, bad looking guy and gave him the chance to anyway. And though he certainly doesn't seem like it, Parker is smarter than he lets on. Sure not book smarts but he's really street smart and knows how to survive as well as get himself through sticky situations.
All in all, he's really just a big, misunderstood kid. One whom you really shouldn't anticipate to act his age anytime soon. At least he means well, right?
HISTORY
It's in the past, let's keep it that way - Parker's usual response when it came to sharing his history. He'd much rather change the subject and that's for very understandable reasons. See, Parker's life hasn't always been easy. Actually, he's not sure it's even started yet. But regardless, his story is one he finds better left unsaid. Not like talking about it would change anything.
Parker started life in a simple little town of Johto. His mother was a frail one but found strength in making sure her son was well taken care of and protected, the best mom in the world in his books. His father on the other hand... Well... He certainly wasn't qualified for dad of the year. To be honest, he was a bit of an ass. But Parker and his mother could do nothing but tolerate it. He did provide for them. Even if he didn't treat them all too well. But things looked like they would change when his little sister was born. She could have very well been the little light of hope in the family's life and it was safe to say she made things a bit more peaceful while she was there. And Parker was quick to accept big brotherhood, ready and willing to protect his beloved little sister from whatever the world would toss at her. He even neglected his journey a bit, not leaving the town for a few years until she finally convinced him she could take care of herself.
It wasn't long ago that things went to shit. Parker was already far from Johto at the time, exploring the lands and all the Pokemon the world had to offer. But it didn't take long for the news to reach him and he quickly made his way back home, praying that his family were alright, no matter how dangerous the trip would be. He wasn't so lucky. His town was in ruins, an earthquake having completely destroyed it. He couldn't even recognize his home anymore in it's rubble state. His mother had been taken to the hospital, sadly dying as she waited for doctors to treat her. They were simply too overwhelmed with victims that they could barely treat them all in time. His father on the other hand had survived, though certainly not unscathed, losing his leg from the incident. And his sister, she was never found. Assumed to be dead and joined the rest of the death toll from the disaster. His father had the audacity to blame him for their loss, simply out of spite because of his lack of injuries. And he was so grief-stricken, he couldn't help but believe it himself.
He left home, saving his sisters last surviving Pokemon with him in her memory. But despite all the despair, he found a new sense of purpose, a need for justice. He wanted to seek vengeance on the instigators. For every lost soul, he was determined to eliminate a Knight in their stead. Thus, he began his new journey to become stronger. Not to challenge the league but to get rid of the Knights once and for all. By whatever means necessary.
OTHER
- Parker hates the name Liam. Because of this, he will always give his surname when introductions are necessary. For serious, don't call him Liam. Unless you just want to piss him off.Which is admittedly quite fun though equally dangerous.
- He has yet to return to his home town, let alone linger in Johto for too long. Too many bad memories he'd like to escape from, you know? Besides, he's sure his dad would love to get a piece of him if given the chance. So it's better to stay as far from home as possible if he can manage.
- He has plenty of tattoos which he is by no means shy when it comes to presenting them, often going around shirtless if he can manage. He's a showoff. So sue him. - Visual Reference
- Parker's Butterfree in his PC actually belonged to his late sister. Unfortunately, he has rather neglected it, as much as he is ashamed to admit. He thought about releasing it but seeing as the Pokemon is his last memory of his sibling, he can't bring himself to do so.
- Liam had made an attempt to join the Rangers but ultimatelywas rejecteddecided against it. His means of taking care of business are apparently quite unorthodox and to be fair, he wasn't too fond of the rules or having to be lead around. Thus he decided to be his own boss and take care of the bad guys himself, becoming a sort of vigilante. He still respects the Rangers though and if he happens to come across some Knight grunts, he'll turn them into them. After he beats them to a pulp first, of course.POKEMON
