Interview Application
Demographic Information
Age: 23
Birthday: October 17th
Gender: Male
Pronouns: He/Him mainly, They/Them accepted
Orientation: Pansexual
Faction: Freelancer
Class: Breeder
Rank: 1
Occupation: N/A
Hometown: Azalea Town, Johto
Current Residence: Traveling
Appearance Information
Height: 5'6" OR 168cm
Build: Lithe
Hair Color: Light blond hair, sometimes he grows it out. Currently it reaches the bottom of his ears
Eye Color: Aqua bluish green
General Appearance: Standing at a slightly shorter than average height, and having a more thin build, he can often look androgenous depending on clothing options. Because of this, he doesn't get too upset if somebody gets his gender wrong - especially if they don't know him. His hair is very fluffy and soft, and his eyes a light bluish-green that reminds many of some lakes or rivers. Mainly those with a lot of algae.
Depending on the season, he can either have pale skin, slightly tanned skin, or - mainly in summers, he can be red from burns if he's not careful. He likes to grow his hair out throughout the summer then get it cut again when winter is ending. That way in winter he has longer hair, usually reaching a little past his shoulders before he cuts it again. On rare occasions, he lets it grow for an entire year.
Alex often wears clothes that are a little loose and feel light in general. He doesn't mind if clothes are more for males or females, he enjoys wearing things he likes, and that he thinks looks nice. Quite often wearing dresses, skirts, or just a shirt and some shorts, or jeans. Depending on the weather and the season, as well as his overall mood.
He doesn't have any tattoos, but could point out any small scars and tell a small story, like 'Got this one while trying to get some cookies for Mom's Purloin while she was out and I fell and it scared'. They're small, and he has about four small ones, none even the size of a coin.
Aura: A bright and warm orange in color. It stretches out a bit from his body, typically in a slow, steady, but consistent motion. When close to somebody he likes, it typically reaches out a bit towards them as well.
Interview Questions
Tell us a bit about yourself. How would you describe yourself?
Oh well, it's always really easy to forget when somebody asks that question. Give me a second, I'll try and think of something. It's always easy, and interesting to have somebody else help describing how I am, actually! But, I suppose I would like to think of myself as a good listener, and I'm always willing to help others out if they need it. Let's see, what else? I like playing games, like board or card, or just having fun with my pokemon too. I like to think I'm pretty relaxed and laid back, even when playing the more competitive games. Though it is fun to see everybody else get worked up with the competition some of them can cause! I don't get angry easily, though if I did I suppose it would be at injustice or harm coming to another. So yeah... caring I suppose?
Why are you interested in your chosen Class?
Well, I actually grew up near a pokemon daycare. Well, I say near, it was still quite a walk away from Azalea town, where I'm from. It was closer to Goldenrod City, but still. A lot of people would either come through before or after, so I heard a lot about it. And it always fascinated me. I visited several times, and was always interested in what they did. It's better than some of the other places... The ones that mostly do it without regard for the pokemon's well being and are just hoping to turn a profit. I don't know many who would be okay with that or participate, thankfully. Still, I wanted to try and help care for pokemon. It was either this or becoming a Nurse honestly, and well... I'm not great around injuries. I get a bit emotional, and that's not good when you're trying to keep a steady head. That, and this way I can try and compete with some of those other breeders who don't care much at all. Trying to get the best pokemon you can get is definitely different then trying to be a breeder for profit. At least, I think so.
What brings you to Ageos?
Oh yeah, I did mention I was from Johto. I was curious how you knew at first! Well, I have traveled a bit to get here. I wanted to go out and see new places. I want to be one of the best options people think about when they want to go see a breeder. But, I'm still young and I know I have a lot to learn still. A lot, a lot. So when I was looking for a place to go to learn more, I found Ageos. I know it's smaller here then some other regions, but the amount of different pokemon that can be found here definitely helped me decide. There's also the local legend, which every region seems to have, huh? It was still interesting all that technology lost. Probably for the best, I think. I mean, I wonder if the pokemon even had a choice?
What are your best attributes?
Well, I think I'm a pretty open person, so I can listen and sympathize with a lot of different people. So a lot of people seem to like me, at least decently enough. I can't really speak for them, or what they think right now, but maybe I could get back to you about that? Ah, what else... I'm pretty dexterous, and some decent endurance for certain things. Like running or jogging. I do try to at least go for a walk every day, preferably in the morning, and it really does help me loosen up more. Well, and of course taking care of pokemon, it helps because helping be a breeder can be long days! And I would most certainly hope that I'm good at my job anyway...
What are your worst attributes?
Well, I'm not very quiet, if I'm being completely honest. I've even had somebody ask me to walk a little softer when I'm not paying attention. Thankfully that's only happened a couple times, but I definitely couldn't ever get the drop on somebody! I also know that I have a problem with self confidence, at least that's what a few people have told me. I don't really mind too much, but I've heard it's quite the flaw. So I guess I have enough confidence to be okay with it? I'm not sure that's how that works. I also ramble a bit when I get nervous, but I'm sure you can tell that much by now. Sorry about that.
What was your childhood like?
Pretty average, I would think. We had our share of tourists to see the historical well in town, and a lot of visitors passing by to or from Goldenrod City. I had my mom, dad and a younger sister. She could be a bit of a brat sometimes when we were younger. Once she even hid all my games just because of something silly, I can't recall why now. I was so frustrated with her. But she's a great kid - I say kid, she's eighteen now, man. But, she's made me proud many times too! But my dad was usually working on some sort of project or another. Him and his Gurdurr would often work in the woodshop. So we were never lacking for furniture. I remember Mom once asked for a pot for some plants of hers, and he got so excited he made a whole wooden multi-tiered shelving unit for plants. She wasn't happy at the time, wondering where she was going to put it. But she likes it well enough last I knew. She mostly gardened, and worked for the pokemart. They were really supportive of me travelling and pursuing my goals. It's nice.
How did you get along with family?
Well, I have a lot of fond memories. Like I said, there were times my little sister drove me up the walls, mimicking me, or asking me endless questions that I didn't think were important at the time. And my parents did fight occasionally, or got angry if we made a mess or did something wrong. But other than that, we got along well, and I think rather well for a family. My dad was usually busy, but he'd try to make time for us on occasions, outside his private work orders. And Mom was usually there during the early mornings and evenings.
What are your hobbies?
I enjoy cooking, and baking as well. I've been trying to learn more about better nutrition and different pokemon needs as well. Though I also make some really good cookies. I try to make things for my pokemon at the same time I'm cooking myself something. Even if it's a small snack, I feel it's fair. I do enjoy my morning walks, but I don't mind pushing them back. Let's see... I think I mentioned games, and just spending time with others is honestly such a treat! And having some in-depth conversations are always enlightening and the best.
How do you feel about romance?
I think there's somebody out there for us. Not like soulmate-wise. Nothing that good. But I think that there's people out there that would be a good person for us to start building a relationship with, somebody who comes close to what we need, and perhaps are looking for. I don't think everybody fits that description. Not everybody works out after all. I hope that I can find somebody who I can get along with and helps to inspire me, you know? That's what I hope for one day. In the meantime, I'm open to the idea of meeting and experiencing romance, hopefully to last a while. I don't do short term very well.
What are your short-term and long-term goals?
Well, my long-term goal would definitely be that I become one of the most well-known breeders, just for how well I take care of the pokemon. Because breeding itself isn't an exact science, and that's okay. But I think having pokemon happy and healthy while away from their trainers and spending time at the daycare is of the utmost importance, just as much - if not more - as having the egg ready for the customer later. So that's my long-term goal. As for short-term, probably at the moment finding a place to settle down in Ageos. I haven't found a place yet, but I'll probably end up somewhere near Ruby & Russell’s Daycare, see if they'd be willing to hire me while I'm trying to find a place for my own Daycare. I don't even know if I'll settle in this region. It does seem nice so far, I guess I'll just have to see when the time comes.
If you could be a Pokémon, which one (or which type) would you be? Why?
Well, I think I would definitely be some sort of flying type. As for which one... Even narrowing it down like that, there's a lot. Probably Emolga. I feel flying just because I'm more of a free spirit, and I just enjoy the idea of flying. As for why, I just find Emolga's very cute and hard to catch if they don't want you too. I don't know, I connect with that, and just admire them in general. If not Emolga, probably a Togekiss, just because they look really soft, and warm. I imagine cuddling up next to one would be bliss. That would be a really nice trait to have, if I was a pokemon.
What do Pokémon mean to you?
Well, they should be taken care of. They protect us if we take care of them - for the most part. They all have personalities and quirks of their own for sure! Which, as a breeder I have had some funny stories or where a pokemon is particularly picky. Like, some will still turn their nose up at food I try to give and I don't make it 'right' or not sweet enough or something, and that's just an example. And I like to think when my own starter hatches, we'll be able to spend time building a strong bond through shared adventures. Just because that is where loyalty starts, and after so much time together. Which, I think happens with a lot of people and their starter pokemon. Doesn't mean you can't have equally strong loyalty between another though!
Anything else you'd like to tell us before we let you go?
Oh, I can't think of anything. You did a good job coming up with the questions. Thanks for taking the time to interview me! I do hope that it was somewhat helpful - at the very least. But thank you, and I do hope you have good luck collecting these surveys. I suppose we'll say buy for now, but I hope to see you around sometime soon!
