( Ash Ketchum ) / ( 24 yo. ) / ( Queer ) / ( Japanese-American ) ———————————————————————————— Ash grew up in a small town known as Pallet Town—located in the region of Kanto. He was raised by his single mother alongside her ace Pokémon, Mr. Mime, and grew up adoring Pokémon immensely. At the age of 10, he got his very first partner Pokémon—Pikachu. While it took a while for them to get along, the two are now inseparable buddies that can practically understand exactly what the other's saying. Ash traveled all over the world, meeting many people and Pokémon—his eventual goal being to become a "Pokémon Master". Nobody quite knows what that entails, exactly, but mostly are supportive either way. At the age of 14, he met Goh—and incredible boy with a desire to catch every Pokémon, especially Mew. The two worked as research fellows for Professor Cerise, and they traveled everywhere to study Pokémon, becoming the best of friends before eventually going their own way. Now, as a young adult, Ash is the regional Champion of Alola, as well as the World Monarch. (A title that acknowledges him as the current strongest trainer.) However, his goal, is apparently not complete..? Anyway—currently, he's staying in Galar for a few months to relax and visit friends, but mostly importantly, Ash is here to surprise his boyfriend—Goh, after months of separation. —————————————————————————— app — ( medium, fit build ) + ( tan skin ) + ( black, soft, messy hair that's slightly spikey ) + ( little squiggly lines on his cheeks, they're essentially birthmarks ) + ( brown eyes ) + ( tiny bit of facial hair but it's barely there ) A couple of outfits he wears are as follows: red and white cap + white shirt + blue vest. mostly comfortable, sporty clothes. ———————————————————————————— ( kind ) + ( rambunctious ) + ( overzealous ) + ( respectful ) + ( loyal ) + ( intelligent ) + ( loving ) ———————————————————————————— Currently in a 5 month relationship with his multi-year friend, Goh. probably has adhd but it's minor
