Appearance
A pale and kinda scrawny looking young man with a laid back posture and apathetic body language. Has dull blue eyes, faded black hair, and is often clean-shaven with a tendency to dress in either typical lab attire at work, or in a distinct outfit consisting of a green knit cap, black jeans, green hoodie, black and gray sneakers, silver watch, and a white and gray backpack on his off days.
Personality
As a kid, Travis was once as boisterous and determined as Mark Stroud in his earlier days. Over time however, Travis would take a more laid back, casual, and at times a rather apathetic, along-for-the-ride attitude after surviving a car accident as a pedestrian. To some, he might seem like a lazy, nihilistic defeatist, but Travis considers himself an optimistic nihilist who was reminded how lucky he was to be alive and to not take things too seriously. As a result, he has a penchant for being facetious, quick to employ light-hearted sarcasm and other forms of humor when he sees the opportunity. Despite seeming unmotivated, Travis takes a strong interest in poke-tech and the sciences related to it.
History
An old friend of Mark Stroud from several years ago, Travis was once your typical rookie trainer who wanted to make a name for himself in the competitive scene. Everything would change however when Travis was hit by a wrong-way driver while he was still recovering from a persistent running injury. While he would survive, Travis would ultimately be left with a permanent limp that made it very difficult to run or perform feats of agility. It would be months before Travis would find a renewed since of purpose, developing a strong interest in technologies that benefited both humans and pokemon. While he currently works as an understudy (read: lab aide in a collegiate work study program), Travis takes some time out of his daily routine to practice training his traveling Manectric companion Tricky, although he's more of a casual trainer focused on the research and development of practical human/pokemon technologies.
While he has yet to participate in any major arcs, nor has had any interaction with major organizations like the J-Team, Travis would eventually meet the S3 trio of pokemon through a fictional MMO version of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, going through a dungeon raid until meeting them in person and watching over them as his Manectric Tricky made new friends.
