Topic: Jamie Miller

[Webby]

Name: Jamie Miller
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Description: Jamie stands at 5ft9, and although he is fairly thin he has well-built muscles from extensive field training. His dark brown hair stands on end, swept any which way as guided by his hand. He is Caucasian, and his dazzling blue eyes seem contradictory when you consider his personality.

His typical outfit consists of a plain white t-shirt, navy skinny jeans, converse and a charcoal grey trench coat, worn open in the summer and autumn months; he is never seen without it, even on the hottest of days. He carries a camouflage rucksack over his right shoulder, although it is usually empty. He avoids wearing black and red to distance himself from his past as part of Team Rocket.

Personality: Jamie is a controlled, confident and assertive individual. He rarely expresses emotion, but this does not mean that he is lacking in passion.  He is a furious battler and seeks to assert his dominance over other trainers through battle as often as he can. He seeks out battle tournaments, Gym Battles, and any other battle he can participate in. In the rare moments that he does show emotion, you will see it in his eyes more often than you see it in his face. On an average day, he’ll merely be quite blank and fairly blunt. And every day is an average day. He does not seek out rivals, and will rarely acknowledge anyone as rival material. His only concern is how he measures up to other trainers, regardless of who they are.

Jamie has a particular dislike for bold, vocal women. They remind him of his former squad leader, who committed him to a strict training regime which left him with his obsession with strength and battling, and also his usual lack of emotion.

History: Jamie was born in Goldenrod City in Johto to Max and Serena Miller, a couple who devoted their time to supporting the Radio Tower and its efforts. They initially volunteered when it was to be built, and stayed on as technicians, working around the clock to ensure the smooth running of its stations. Even when Serena fell pregnant, they both worked on as usual. Serena’s pregnancy was normal and uneventful, and she returned to work within weeks of Jamie’s birth. He was passed from sitter to sitter throughout his life, and never truly had a relationship with either of his parents. He desperately tried to catch the attention of his workaholic parents, wandering as far as the Ilex Forest and National Park alone in his efforts. When this was not enough, Jamie decided to spend his time in the Goldenrod Tunnel, knowing this would worry his parents enough to dedicate some time to him. His plan backfired; the recently disbanded and relocated Team Rocket kidnapped him on his first visit to the tunnel, and he was taken to Mahogany Town’s TR Base. People went missing from cities often, and Goldenrod was no exception to this. He would eventually be brushed aside as another statistic.

After arriving in Team Rocket’s base, Jamie was forced into their ranks. Archer had called for children to be raised as Team Rocket members, forcing them into strict routines and training regimes to instil Team Rocket’s ideals in their minds. The children of existing Team Rocket members were required to be taken in, and Grunts were ordered to round up lonely children across the Johto region. The spirit of a child was easily broken and shaped, and Archer was well aware of this. Personalities were changed, memories were forgotten, and old habits were replaced. They would become unrecognisable, a shadow of their former selves, and would ultimately prevail as Team Rocket members. Jamie loathed being held captive, but was unable to resist them. He wished for the day that he could break free from their grasp, but also knew he had nowhere else in the world. His parents, who never paid him the attention he craved, would never accept the bitter and merciless Pokémon trainer that Team Rocket had nurtured.

Every child was given a young Pokémon that had been bred in Team Rocket captivity, and Jamie connected with his Nidoran instantly. The two grew together, winning every battle they took part in, which led to her speedy evolution into Nidorina. However, Archer’s plans did not all go smoothly, and he was defeated months before Jamie was due to be initiated as a skilled Grunt, ready to be fast tracked to the Executive level. Team Rocket’s fall was a blessing in disguise, and only one hurdle remained. The last of the Grunts were instructed to take the now teenage captives to safe houses across the world; Jamie was housed in Celadon City, Kanto, along with two others. After the mandatory safehousing period had passed, Jamie left immediately, crushing Nidorina’s ‘R’ emblazoned Pokémon against a rock. Jamie returned to Johto, having little direction in his life other than his conditioned need to become one of the strongest trainers in the world. Johto was familiar to him, and he understood the Pokémon he would encounter. He intends to return to the Mahogany Base first before deciding his course of action.

Jamie received Nidorina in the Mahogany Base as a NidoranF. Like the Pokémon given to Jamie's peers, she was bred in TR captivity and was given to a developing trainer to foster a close bond and promote early maturity in both trainer and Pokémon, which typical Team Rocket Grunts seemed to lack. She has asserted herself as a prime battler since day one, and has become confident in Jamie's care. She is a more vocal extension of Jamie; she shares his passion for battle, but is more confrontational and will attempt to bait a battle out of even the most placid of Pokémon. Jamie attempted to destroy her Pokéball as an act of removing his affiliation to Team Rocket, but she is still bound to its damaged husk. She walks by Jamie’s side at all times.
