Character Image: Picrew
Character Name: Gingko Minjarra
Pronoun Choice: He/They
Age: Thirty-one
Home Region: Almia
Personality Overview: Gingko is a man full boundless energy and optimism. He sees the best in every situation, often times the opposite of his partner, and greets everyone with the same amount of fervor. Everything a Poke'mon does is absolutely amazing to him, and he is more than happy to sit and observe them for hours. Quietly talking to himself and taking notes as he does so. Gingko is a deeply emotional person, and he can be swayed to tears easily. However, these episodes often don't happen for long, as he immediately starts thinking on how to make the situation better.
Five Likes: Bubble baths, Exploring, Sweet tea, Floral print, Dresses
Five Dislikes: Abandonment / Abuse / Neglect, Being called short, Vegetables, Being bound to technology, Deforestation (or the equivalent in the world)
Hobbies: Teaching, Hiking, Rock climbing, Pottery, Observing Poke'mon
Three Strengths
- Loyal: Artemis is his partner, now and forever. He firmly believes in her and all the same things as she does, and will take her word over literally anyone else's.
- Compassionate: The moment it seems like a Poke'mon is in danger, Gingko will step in and do whatever it takes to get them into a safe space and state. He deals with them very tenderly and carefully, working with them to earn their trust again if they come from a rough background.
- Excitable: He responds quickly to new Poke'mon and situations, and will often get riled up and go off with fervor about the subject.
Three Flaws
- Reckless: With the innate need to help Poke'mon, Gingko has put himself into many dangerous situations. The man will jump in front of a charging Rhydon to attempt to help calm it down before it hurts itself or anyone else. Thankfully Artemis and both of their Poke'mon have helped get him out of these situations...
- Overdoes self: Gingko works tirelessly to ensure that Poke'mon are being taken care of properly, both in the wild, and captivity. He has been known to go for several days with little to no self care, and has landed himself in the hospital once or twice because of it.
- Juvenile: More often than not, Gingko is seen more as a teenager or young twenties, than the mid thirties man he is. Partially due to his stature, but primarily due to how he approaches things in life. Artemis has all of the seriousness that the duo needs, whereas Gingko "has no chill", and is often very simple in how he approaches happenings.
History:
- Grew up in a large and active household
- Surrounded by Poke'mon from day one because of all his family members
- Stumbled across a neglected Growlithe decently early on in his life, lost on the streets and emaciated
- Took it in immediately and nursed it back to health, alongside his family
- This helped steer him in the direction of learning Poke'mon Biology and Behavior
- All through his school years, he found more neglected Poke'mon (by humans) and hurt wild Poke'mon, helping each and every one that he could
- With the help and support of his family and newfound partner in his early twenties, Gingko and Artemis established a rescue for neglected and wounded Poke'mon
- They intended to use it to help rehabilitate Poke'mon to go back out into the wild, and a majority of their rescues have
- Any rescues who cannot survive on their own, or who grew too attached to them, remain within the rescue
- Following Artemis like usual, Gingko has taken this opportunity to observe new Poke'mon in a new region, and to help make sure their behavior is documented thoroughly so that they will never be neglected
