DIGGORY GOODWIN
>>NAME: Diggory Goodwin
>>ALIASES: G.G. (Since his first name has two G's in it)
>>GENDER: Male
>>AGE: Seventeen
>>HEIGHT: 5'10"
>>WEIGHT: 132 lbs.
>>APPEARANCE:
G.G. has a slightly muscular build but not overly so, more like a swimmer's build than a bodybuilder. His skin tone is pale in pallor, and he can’t really tan either; he only gets sunburned. His eyes are a tone of red, and they are pretty dull in tone barely showing too much excitement. He has deep bags under his eyes despite getting plenty of sleep, he isn’t sure what causes it perhaps it’s a genetic thing. His hair is naturally spiky and raven black in color, his hair frames his face, with a couple strands that fall in front of his face.
He tends to wear sleeveless shirts and blue jeans, with boots. When cold out he wears a fur collared leather jacket with a long white scarf that covers his mouth, and nose. At the beach when swimming he wears swimming trunks with a plumeria pattern on them.
>>PERSONALITY: Diggory in short would be called a Kuudere by most. In more complex terms though he has an emotionless looking face that constantly shows indifference to things happening around him. He likes to keep conversations short if he can help, often uttering short one to two word phrases to get the point across that wasting energy in what his eyes is a pointless endeavor such as holding conversations with others. In rare circumstances he’ll regale people of tales he’s heard from sailors in his youth becoming a lot more talkative. He warms up to people slowly not trusting them right away, though he always lends a silent helping hand where he can, he ain’t a jerk more of a gentle guy who doesn’t talk much.
During Battles he becomes more talkative but his usual flat tone doesn’t change, causing a pretty hilarious juxtaposition with his monotone orders to his pokemon compared to those around him who shout with more passion. Diggory also knows how to cook so he carries necessary cooking utensils with him so he doesn’t go hungry, he often will cook for other campers in the area if he asks them but if they try to steal food from him they’ll get a taste of one of his knuckle sandwiches and they don’t discriminate after all male of female the Fist of justice is unisex afterall.
Diggory may not look it but he has a strong moral compass and he won’t double check and call out people for their cruddy behavior when they’ve done something that is clearly wrong in his eyes. This is because he comes from the Orre Region that he has a strong sense of Justice people always mislabeled the people of Orre as nothing as Thugs all thanks to those of Pyrite Town and he feels he has to be a good representation of people of his Region to show everybody that the people from Orre are not just thugs.
>>HISTORY:
Diggory Goodwin was born in Agate Port in the Orre Region, his parents ran a Diner in the Port Town. He grew up surrounded by the Sea Breeze and Sailors, the squawking of Wingulls, the loud horns of barges as they came into port. When growing up he heard stories from sailors who came into the Diner about faraway Regions with beautiful and magnificent sights, but there he was stuck in Orre helping at his parents' Diner, life wasn’t fair but the Orre Region was Harsh and there wasn’t enough Pokemon were scarce in the Desert Region meaning many young men and woman who wanted to follow a career in Pokemon couldn’t start their journeys.
So Diggory grew up with a sense of longing; the once young exuberant boy became a stone-faced teeanger who never got the chance to follow his dreams when a lot of others his age did. He slaved away at his parents diner, with his siblings going off too follow their own dreams why he the oldest son was forced to stay in Agate Port and waste away at his Family’s Diner he was the Eldest son so he was Expected to take over is what his Father said the Diner had been owned by his Father’s Family for Generations. But he had no interest in cooking or catering or Business. He wanted the freedom to explore life had gave him a trash hand of cards he had to play.
Though as luck would have it the next card his fate would draw for him, was a Pokemon. It was a stormy night and large waves splashed against the docks of Agate Port, an Diggory was of course caught in the storm buying ingredients in bulk at the grocery store for his families diner when he slipped he was too close to the edge and fell into the briney ocean that should have been the end of him as the salty waters clouded his vision and his lungs inhaled the sea water. As the turbulent waves batted him away from Agate port he sunk deeper into the water, a large orange pokemon that was flying overhead swooped into the sea saving him from his grizzly end.
When Diggory awoke he was on a ship, the captain said he was glad he was awake and a Dragonite had saved Diggory from drowning. Diggory always heard tales of Dragonite’s saving people from drowning from sailors to think it was true. They were going to stop at the Alola Region, then the Sinnoh Region, the Captain asked if he wanted a ride home Diggory refused saying this was his chance to finally have a journey. The Captain laughed Jovially as they made their long Voyage to the Alola Region. Diggory helped around on the ship cooking and cleaning to repay the captain and crew for their kindness.
When they stopped at Alola Diggory was happy to finally make landfall again the captain said they would be in port for around a month before setting off again, so if he wanted to go to Sinnoh make sure to get back by then. Diggory excitedly explored Melemele Island where he met many friendly people. It was a nice and unexpected change compared to the more harsh people of Orre. He would also spend what little money he had on a Single Pokeball he would use that to catch his own Pokemon and he would have his own Pokemon Journey even if he was starting a bit later compared to others.
While Exploring around Route 1 he met a Zorua that had an X-Shaped scar on the center of it’s forehead and a tough expression on its face. And it was being picked on by an Alolan Grimer it had scrapes all over its body. When the Alolan Grimer was about to land it’s finishing blow Diggory jumped in front of it taking a large and painful blow to the back that caused a powerful stinging sensation to his back, he didn’t know why he did it his body moved on its own. Then the Zorua jumped in with a powerful scratch knocking the Grimer away and causing it to run away. The Zorua then started following him around after that. It eventually caught itself in his Pokeball while he was camping out one night since it was so warm out. When Diggory found out he was slightly annoyed but happy at the same time showing one of his rare smiles he had his first Pokemon and crap his month time limit was almost up at that point! So he hurried to the docks barely making it in time, only managing to get there by the skin of his teeth.
Diggory then knew that the Sinnoh Voyage would be his last time traveling with them for a while, he was planning on starting his Journey Proper in Sinnoh wether that lead him to taking on the Gym Challenges of becoming a Coordinator he wasn’t sure yet, but what he was sure of was that he was going to start his Journey and he couldn’t be happier. So when they finally arrived at Canalave city Diggory said his goodbyes to the crew and thanked them for all they did. And this is where his journey would truly begin.
