I'll reserve an evil gym leader spot. Post to be edited with template tomorrow. ~
EDIT:
Name: Aster
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Personality: Aster is the type of person who never trusts others openly. To earn the right to call yourself his "partner" (i.e. friend), you'd have to really show him your own personality, and then some. He's stoically quiet as well, showcasing a demeanor of endless patience layered with maturity. However, this isn't the case in some examples, as he'll literally "snap" at you if provoked.
Despite this brusque attitude, Aster is very calculating; he never fights a battle he knows he cannot win. His battered past has taught him this lesson well.

Bio: This blue-haired young man was born in the Unova region many years ago. He was raised under the loving care of his uncle, seeing that his parents had died in an accident one week after his birth. The story was that they had been trampled by a raging herd of Tauros, but it had never been truly confirmed.
Aster's youth was plagued with Pokemon. They were truly his one and only delight in the world. For example, after his uncle had explained to him the situation in regards to his parents, Aster went into complete and utter shock. For one week following this, he would sit on a rocking chair upon his uncle's porch, not speaking or eating a single bit. This morbid pattern was broken however, when a little Pineco fell from a nearby tree and waddled over to Aster's feet. The little Pokemon would then proceed to cheer up Aster by doing whatever it could do. It first went around dancing a little jig, then it stopped and snuggled up to him on his lap. Before long, Pineco and Aster became the best of friends; soon after that, Aster learned to block out the events of the past altogether. He realized that Pokemon were not all bad as he had originally believed, and he cherished every single moment he could spend with them.
Upon his 13th birthday, Aster's uncle surprised him with a trip to the Konran region. Aster had already set off on a journey with Pineco a few years back through the Unova region, so his uncle decided to jump-start a new chapter in the now blue-haired teen's life. He encouraged Aster to battle the gyms in this new region, and hoped he'd become a full-fledged Pokemon Master in the process.
His uncle was partly correct. Aster did succeed at working his way through the gyms. So much so, in fact, that the official Pokemon League asked him if he'd like a Gym Leader position of his very own. After some careful deliberation, Aster accepted this rather gracious offer, and set to work training his team of now six Pokemon to perfection.
It wasn't long after this that Team Hijack visited him. They boasted that they were rounding up all of the Legendary Pokemon, and that they would then start this world anew--create a new era. Then they asked for the thing they really came for: Aster's help. Taunting words drifted along with their demands: power, control, anything you've every dreamed of... It was all too much for Aster to stand. He was sick and tired of the gap his parents had left in his life. No matter how much he tried to cover it up, it would always unearth itself, like a scab someone has picked off their body. Sure, he had Pineco (now Forretress), but one Pokemon could not fill the gap his parents had left in his life. Secretly, he also wondered if he could somehow bring them back. After all, Team Hijack did say that he could have anything he ever dreamed of. And besides, with the power of legendary Pokemon, anything was possible.
Reluctantly, he agreed to their demands.
