Name: Luke Hardy
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Hometown: Celadon City

Appearance: Luke is far from the biggest guy out there, standing at 5ft 7" and tipping the scales at an athletic 143 lbs. His eyes are a bright blue and a good-natured smile is never far from his slightly thin-lipped mouth. Luke's jet black hair is always close cropped and seldom seen, as it is usually concealed beneath a flat cap. Luke prefers to keep clean shaven, but isn't meticulous enough to keep up with it on the move and so can become somewhat unkempt whilst travelling.

Generally, Luke's attire tends to the practical and functional rather than flamboyant. Tough boots, bottoms with many pockets, jackets with the same and a spacious backpack. Luke likes to travel prepared.

Biography: The middle child of three (precisely so, with a gap of eight years between him and both his elder and younger siblings), Luke never quite met with his parents' expectations. He never showed much aptitude for his studies or business, a severe disappointment to his affluent family. His mother's pokemon, though groomed far more for contests than battling instilled in Luke a deep love for the creatures. By the time he was eight and his little sister Alexandra (Alex) was born, Luke already knew that he wanted pokemon of his own.

In the meantime, however, Alex took precedence. Even with the age difference, the two of them were inseperable, with Luke practically being a second father to the little girl, playing with her always and generally being totallly devoted. His rough-and-tumble approach to games sometimes left Luke in hot water with his parents, but his relationship with his sister was never damaged, for all that.

Confident and extroverted, it wouldn't be long before Luke defied all the wishes of his parents (not to mention his elder brother Donovan, who was practically a clone of Hardy senior) and at the age of 15, left Celadon city to set out on his own Pokemon adventure. Of course, over the years travelling, he would return to Celadon now and then to visit his family and show off his slowly increasing collection of pokemon and badges.

However, on his sister's sixteenth birthday, already strained familial relations simply snapped. Thinking to present Alex with the gift of a pokemon, Luke was dismayed to find her entirely disinterested in the little Pichu he had so proudly offered to her. In an uncharacteristic fit of temper, Luke took the pokemon back and stormed out of the family house. To date, he has not returned and would not be welcomed back by his parents in any case.

Though he has six badges, Luke lacks a real flair for battling, getting by on dogged persistence rather than tactical nouse - having taken 11 years to progress that far up the league. However, Luke isn't a terrible trainer, just prone to getting wrapped up in side projects like trying to catch every pokemon that lives in a particular area and attempting to breed particular traits into his pokemon (a part of him really loves rearing the youngsters too). Friendly and kind to a fault, Luke will always be the first to volunteer to help get somebody out of trouble.

On-Hand: Luke owns a lot more pokemon than he can conceivably have with him, but his preferred team of six is as follows: Raichu (Dynami), Meganium (Thorn), Venomoth (Dusty), Crobat (Alu), Charmeleon (Salamander), Togetic (Tock)


Usually found: The daycare centre is a reasonable bet, but Luke wanders all over the region, so he could be found anywhere but Celadon city. As such he's a little difficult to track down at times, if one were to wait at the daycare, however, Luke would likely show up before too long to check on things.
