Connor (NJL)

Connor is a Pokemon Trainer, specalising in Ghost and Dark Type pokemon. He travelled with Sam and Alfy around the Johto and Sinoh regions, supporting them while trying to raise powerful Pokemon.

Appearance
In keeping with his Dark theme, Connor wears a largely black and white outfit, complete with a wide-brimmed hat and special gloves that he likes to wear. He is often seen with a poke ball, usually a Master Ball, in one of his hands.

Personality
Despite his choice of Pokemon type, Connor is quite a cheerful person, only becoming quiet and unfriendly when his home or family is mentioned. He has an affinity for Pokemon that society tends to shun or dislike, such as Absol or Darkrai, and often approaches these pokemon with words of friendship before attempting to catch them.

Connor enjoys Sam's company and enjoys helping Sam achieve his goal of becoming the greatest pokemon trainer. Likewise, he tries to act as a mentor to the novice Alfy and does his best to help her raise Pokemon of her own.

Connor DOES NOT enjoy thinking or talking about his home or family, though the reason for this is initially unclear.
