Other Appearance Information: Alistair dresses well, though he often knows to dress for the situation he's in. Obviously it would be ridiculous to wear a suit and jacket while on the road so he's taken to a more casual approach. Cargo pants with a million pockets and a t-shirt. Though he could have brought any multitude of clothes with him on the journey he'd decided that to distance himself from his family more he would just dress as normal as possible. Leaving behind his family's ring so that he wouldn't have to deal with carrying both its physical and emotional weight around with him. He keeps his hair short and boyish to a point, letting it grow out slightly shaggy though making sure that it is recognizably male.

How do they feel about Pravus?:
- He honestly doesn't know anything about it. Everything about Remoor confuses him.

- He enjoys being around Pokemon and the way he was raised was that they are equals and deserve just as much respect as a human does.
How do they feel about Pokemorphs?:
- Alistair doesn't even know that Pokemorphs exist yet. Moving from another country entirely he's kind of ignorant about Remoor and its people. He'll probably just end up treating them the same way that he does normal people though, the same amount of caution and mistrust.
How do they view the anti-Pravus movement?:
- He honestly doesn't know anything about it, just like he doesn't know anything about Pravus itself or the fact that there are Pokemorphs running around. Everything about Remoor confuses him.
Personality:
✔ adaptable
Due to the fact that he's been moved around more than once and shuffled from house to house across the country Alistair has found himself adaptable to most situation. This has caused him to also have trouble getting comfortable anywhere and will often find himself keeping everything packed so that when the time inevitably comes to move again he will be capable of just picking up his things and going.
✔ charming
His upbringing has caused him to carry a certain bit of charm with him whenever speaking to others. This of course inevitably leads to him being able to lie through his teeth while keeping his charming demeanor up and he keeps a notebook full of lies that he's told so that he can later go back to them for review if the need ever arises for it. This way he's less likely to be caught in the act.
✔ dedicated
Once he sets his mind to something he generally tends to keep working at it until it is complete, this of course can sometimes borderline obsession and he will forget about other tasks until this one thing is either completed or obliterated from his frustration at not being able to get it to work how he wants it.
✔ cautious
Alistair is extremely cautious, to the point of he stands there for five minutes debating on if he really needs to go talk to that sales clerk or if he can figure it out on his own simply based on what the clerk looks like. Males that look older have the tendency to set him off and causing him minor panic attacks and since he can only take so much medication in a day he tends to avoid situations where he would have to deal with them. That also goes for people who remind him of his family, especially his mother.
✔ dramatic
Alistair tends to have a dramatic side, especially when he's telling a story. Though the dramatics are usually an attempt to pull away from the severity of what is actually going on. His nanny was the only person that didn't roll her eyes at his dramatics and so he continues to think that they're rather acceptable.
✔ bitter
He's extremely bitter towards his parents sending him away, especially his mother. Its actually caused something of a mis-trust issue on par with his mis-trust of older men and causes him to on occasion explode on people that haven't really done anything. Usually someone calling him sweetie or sweetheart in any sort of maternal condescending tone will cause him to have a small fit of rage.
✔ promiscuous
Though its only to an extent Alistair sometimes feels the undeniable call of needing to get laid. Depending on his mindset at the time it could be from a male or a female. If he's feeling self-loathing and like he needs to be treated like a lesser being then he's more apt to chase a girl, though on the rare occasion he feels like he deserves to be loved he'll search out a male to try and pull into bed. Needless to say he prefers the male company but punishes himself with female company more often than not.
✔ inferiority complex
Due to his mother wanting a daughter and that leading to him being treated like one, Alistair has an extreme inferiority complex to most women, thinking that for some reason, some how, they were just better simply for being female. Tying in to his bitterness towards maternal figures, sans his nanny, its caused him to have a thinly veiled edge to his voice underneath his charming exterior.
✔ Other Things
Alistair has something of a short fuse when dealing with certain people. Matronly figures tend to send him into a bit of a fury and when this happens he ends up having a small bit of a rage fit. He'll get frustrated and have a tough time actually speaking. His charming and exterior disappears and he'll have to step away for good amounts of time. Eventually leaving the situation entirely so that he can calm down.
Flowers and grass types have something of a calming effect on him, mainly because his nanny would put out food for them to gather int he gardens wherever they moved to so that he wouldn't be completely without friends. He never caught any of them though since he didn't want to have to move a pokemon around from house to house. As a rule he doesn't like smoking, mainly the smell of cigars disgusts him and he prefers to avoid them and those that smoke them.
BACKGROUND:
History:
⊙ He was born into a rich family with a mother who had nothing but sons and longed for a daughter. Therefore she used her youngest son as a substitute and treated him like a daughter, putting him in dresses and giving him dolls and such. For the longest time most people didn't even know that little Alistair was a boy because of the facade, not even family. They adopted the name Alice for him at times and until he grew up the very well thought that it was his name.
⊙ Around the age of ten his uncle on his mother's side moved in with them having lost his estate to a series of gambling debts that no one could pull him out of. He was bitter and looking to make a little bit of quick cash. The uncle started to fall in with the people he owed money too and beyond that even. The illegal activities he started to participate in escalated.
⊙ Finally it seemed as though he came to the lowest of the low and eleven year old Alistair was sitting in the passenger seat as his uncle took him out for a surprise. The secret of his gender was still a secret to the uncle and dressed up in his Sunday best he was taken to a small building that nearly seemed abandoned.
⊙ It was there that his true identity was revealed and he was taken to another building instead. His uncle started to curse his mistakes but realized that he had hit gold once the money started to come in. Sure, the first initial payment for his innocence was the best but the subsequent ones that followed were nearly as good.
⊙ This went on for awhile and people were quickly getting suspicious about how he was pulling himself so far out of debt so quickly. Within a couple of months he had made enough money to nearly even get his estate back. No one even suspected though that it was actually Alistair making him the money.
⊙ He became a little more withdrawn though, spending more time talking to his stuffed animals than he did his parents. The secret was finally found out though near his thirteenth birthday when his mother walked in on him "practicing" for playtime with his uncles friends.
⊙ They were promptly arrested due to the fact that her uncle was a coward when it came to such things, ratting out the entire group within twenty minutes of being arrested. The media swarmed the situation, causing the family to wonder what exactly they were going to do.
⊙ They decided that the best thing for everyone would be for Alistair to move away from the attention and sent him to live with a nanny in a different town. This caused him to misinterpret the situation as it being his fault. Still, he enjoyed living with his nanny and came to see her as more of a mother than his biological one.
⊙ They continued to move around a lot from estate to estate, changing houses whenever people started to ask too many questions. He went through many tutors and on the off chance he found himself enrolled in an actual school he did his best to act "normal" though there would be complications as always. Having panic attacks around the male teachers and throwing fits with the female ones. They increased his medication but it had already put spots on his record.
⊙ Finally they stopped trying to put him into the schools and his nanny attempted to teach him what she could. He learned from textbooks mostly and on the occasion he had a social obligation he made sure that he acted his best. Taking his medication and whatnot. As he grew older the fits became more manageable and those that didn't know why he had them just chalked them up to him being a bratty child.
⊙ He grew out of being girly eventually, his body turning into a mans and he started adjusting to life away from his actual family. Deciding that it was time for him to actually go out and do something, rather than living on his families money he wanted to travel as far away from home as he possibly could, so he chose a region that was as far as away as he could possibly go. Remoor.

Personality: He is unable to turn the string and thread off. The web always, like a runny nose, trails behind him.
