Jacques Fontaine

Everyone's favorite sheep!

Basics
Name: Jacques Fontaine

Species/Form: Flaaffy

Type: Electric

Ability: Static

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Physical Description: Jacques stands at a decent five and three-quarters feet tall and  possesses a lean-to-average frame.  His trademark white mane of wool curls sideways on the top of his head and extends to his upper body. His ears are thick, sideways cones with black stripes, and his long tail has black stripes and is tipped with a blue orb. T he bare, rubbery skin protects him (and others) from the electricity stored in its fleece. The orb will light up when his mane is fully charged, so if it's glowing, watch out or you'll get zapped!

Personality: Sharing perhaps more than a few qualities that fulfill the species stereotype, Jacques tends to be more of a follower than a leader, soft spoken and shy as well. Though most of the time he does open his mouth it usually leads him into some kind of trouble or mishap, leading him into situations that go way outside his comfort zone. Despite this, he doesn't let things get him down, believing there's always good times that follow the bad. Poor deluded fool.

He has a variety of interests, from kickboxing to video games, though by far his favorite investment in time and effort is cooking. He takes food very seriously and will not go near the school's cafeteria because of his somewhat picky and prudish nature. Adamantly believes that hamburgers should always be slightly largers than the bun. Like any sheep, he's obedient to a fault.

History: Jacques and his family hail from southern Johto, where most of his species line tend to flock and rarely deviate from, though he seems to be one of the few exceptions...mostly because he's on rather bad terms with his immedietly family. The Fontaine family comes from a long line of politicians. The first to break this chain in over a decade was Jacques' father's older brother, Remy, who became a very successful professional battler. This inspired both of the Fontaine children to follow in their uncle's footsteps, which displeased their father greatly.

Jacques' older brother, Sebastian, got first dibs in training from his uncle, but that student-teacher relationship was very short lived as Sebastian detested Remy's...unusual teaching methods. So he ran off at the age of sixteen, leaving young Jacques under Remy's tutelage, much to the anger of his parents. Remy and Jacques moved to Viridian City so that Jacques was able to attend the local academy and onto university, tuition paid in full by Remy's winnings on the condition that Jacques cook on request, something that the young sheep could easily agree to.
