Name: Vrede Gradhem
Nickname: N/A
Gender: Male, though when he puts his hair down, he can be mistaken for a woman
Age: 18
Trainer Type: Trainer
Phisical Appearence: Personality: Vrede looks like the typical 'cool guy', and by some means he is. He's a natural on the guitar and can play about any sort of genre and song just hearing it once, due to his slight eidetic memory when it comes to music. His amazing guitar skills are also pared with the perfect voice of a rock musician, the genre he loves the most. He is excellent at memorizing songs, but terrible of writing his own, which is why he doesn't have a music career at the moment. Though he looks tough, he's actually very emotional and naive when it comes to girls. His life has been full of tough break ups and relationships, and he never seems to learn from them. He can easily be befriended, and taken advantage of because of his forgiving nature. Though his nerdy side shows around his close friends, many would describe him as the 'tall, dark, and handsome' guy he is, though he tends to avoid that description whenever he can. Overall, he's a nice guy who hasn't had much luck when it comes to relationships, though he uses those feelings to fuel his music.
History: Vrede grew up in a small daycare on the outskirts of Nimbasa City. He was an only child, and his parents were sure to make time for him, even with their busy job. When he was little, he enjoyed playing with the Pokemon left at the daycare, and was fascinated by the occasional eggs they produced. His life went by very uneventfully until he started growing into an awkward preteen.
When he was around 13 years old, he recieved a guitar for his birthday, after mentioning his interest in music to his mom. He began slowly teaching himself to play, and it seemed to come naturally. Pair that with his singing voice, and he became one of the most popular kids at school. He loved his guitar and took it just about everywhere, never missing an opportunity to play. His popularity also lead to his first 'girlfriend', as at that age, the term really isn't accurate. It didn't last long, and they broke up a few weeks later.
Fastforward to his teen life, and that's where the trouble began. By then, he had adopted a few Pokemon that were abandoned at his parent's daycare, and had begun his journey. While wandering, he met a girl who seemed to be his soul mate. The two immediately hit it off, but unbeknown to Vrede, another boy had his eyes on her. Seeing them together, the boy snapped, and attacked Vrede as he walked to the Pokemon Center, smashing his guitar, and crushing what mattered most to him. Seeing staying would just be trouble, he got his injuries treated and left town without any word to the friends he had met there, or the girl.
That experience has probably been the closest thing he had to writing an actual song, but when he got it just about finished, he scrapped it, figuring it wasn't any good. Instead, he took to darker rock lyrics that have already been writen and have talked about the pain of breakups as well as all of the feelings he had. This is still the music he mostly sings, as it sort of grew on him. After that, he decided to grow his hair long, it seemed like the only thing he could control in his life.
In more recent times of his life, he worked long enough to purchase a decent quality guitar, and continued his music career. He again tried several different relationships, luckily no other ones ended in conflict, but all went down hill. Seeing that he hadn't really paid much attention to his Pokemon, he decided to train them more, and try out taking on a league. He doesn't plan on any more romance, but fate sometimes has a sense of humor.
