Name: Jacque “Jack” Gagnon
Age: 36 years
Pokemon: Electivire

Gender: Male
Height: 6’05”
Bodystyle: Muscular/Mildly Overweight
Birthday: December 22nd
Home Island: Affection Atoll
Personality:
Despite his lumbering size and grizzled appearance, Jacque is a rather sweet man. While at the start of most interactions he’ll be quiet and calm, he is prone to getting excited easily. Once that occurs, he’s a very boisterous man, joking around and genuinely treating you with the utmost care and respect. Though, like most things, he can go overboard with his reaction. He’s been known to be like an ‘overly supportive parent’, rooting on others excessively, getting too emotionally invested into the small things, and just letting his emotions run him. The only times he tends to break that happy-go-lucky, wholesome self is if someone tries to harm him or his daughter. Any attempt, be it physical or emotional, will be met with the full force of rage that is hidden deep within the man. Typically this comes with a load of steely gazes and a menacing aura around him, as he is not one to get into physical altercations unless all options and resources have been exercised.

History:
Born and raised in the northern part of Sinnoh, Jacque’s family growing up was rather sparse. His father was always in and out of the house for lumbering jobs, his mother busy taking care of him and his brother at home. Sure he kept stimulated, but he never quite seemed to be in a family where everyone bonded together. For most of his childhood, to be frank, he didn’t really have many traditional family get-togethers. Sure the holidays were times together, but to him, they just kind of, happened. No magic or merriment. As he grew up in the house, his ties to the family seemed to dwindle down. To find some sort of ‘bonding’ with anyone, he often found himself taking part in after-school activities, educational clubs, pick-up games, meeting with a few other classmates. Here he found a few people he could seemingly bond with, a few he would find to be the closest of friends. More times than not, they spent as much of their time as they can together, often reaching out for stay-overs. His parents would ok it, mainly to ensure they didn’t have to worry about another mouth at dinner and the calmness of mind knowing where their son was. On such friend of his, a girl around his age, seemed to hit it off well with him. They appeared close to one another. Oftentimes, his other friends would joke about them getting married or dating, to which they simply laughed it off.
That was until the end of high school. The two went out with one another, a couple of sweethearts that transcended just their school. To Jacque, it felt like it was meant to be. And in the spur of the moment, the two felt the closest they ever did. But at that moment, the spark in their relationship seemed to end. The moment was gone, the realization of how this would affect not quite setting in yet but soon the two seemed to drift apart. Thankfully for Jacque, his best friend seemed to be there for him, reassuring him that all would be fine in the end.

That was, until a few months later. Getting ready to plan out his life after school, he received the biggest news one could ever expect… that he would become a father. Confused and flustered by the moment, he had to take some time to register what just happened to his life. College felt like the lowest of priorities at the moment. He’d have a child on the way, he’d have to find a way to provide for them. And sure it seemed like a lot to take in, but Jacque did know that he made the bed, and would have to sleep in it. But he soon found the bed was a bit more than he had gotten into. Upon the birth of his daughter Beatrice, it became very clear that the mother was not in love with them. She seemed to want to move on, to forget of the months she endured, and possibly to move on from Jacque. She talked to doctors about putting the child up for adoption, to which Jacque protested. While the mother did not want the daughter, Jacque could not even think of giving her up. After settling on a custody agreement he found himself with full custodys, and soon brought her home. The first few weeks were rough. As a new parent, and more specifically a single parent, he found it hard to balance both work life and child life. And what made it worse, he was finding it hard to pay rent and pay for food. This oftentimes meant he’d be asking and even begging for assistance, running all around town for help. His parents, though nearby, would find it hard to offer the time to aid their son, and his brother soon after left the region entirely. Running out of options, he went to his best friend’s home for help. His friend, a young Rhydon named Pierre, opened up his home to Jacque and Beatrice. Pierre’s wife helped look after Beatrice while Jacque and Pierre talked out the whole situation. Pierre, feeling bad for his best friend, offered him up a hand.

His uncle had a ranch not too far from here, a pig ranch, and was always in need of extra support. He offered him a chance to get a job close by, as well as a room in their place until Jacque has enough to get a place for him and Beatrice. Overcome with emotions, Jacque agreed and thanked his friend profusely. The next morning, he met up with Pierre’s uncle and began work. Though challenging, he soon found the tasks as a good way to keep in shape. Chasing the pigs around, hoisting them up to get cleaned, as well as picking up the truffles they found, meant he could be active and healthy, while he left Beatrice in the care of Pierre’s wife. This way of life continued up until Beatrice was about 5 years old. Jacque had been saving up paycheck after paycheck and soon had enough to start a new life for them nearby. A small home no doubt, but a house where they could stay, enough money to pay for bills and food, and still provide for what Beatrice needed. He loved his daughter, and wanted to make sure she had what she needed. New school clothes, supplies for classes, toys and games, he made sure he had the money to provide. And when it wasn’t a funds related task, Jacque made sure to be there to support her no matter what. Peewee soccer games, cheer practices, band performances, he was the over-emotional father in the crowd cheering loudest for his girl. And while it got ‘annoying’ in Beatrice’s teenage years, Jacque made sure he knew his daughter was loved and supported, just as all the other children were.

Though towards the end of her schooling, the biggest part of ‘supporting her dreams’ was to be tested. She wanted to drop out of school. She didn’t find it helping her for what she wanted to do with her life; an internet streamer. This took the man by surprise, since unlike his path, she had the whole world ahead of her. Would something along these lines even be viable for her? Would being a ‘streamer’ give her the same satisfaction as an actual job could? Needless to say he was conflicted. After debating the choices for nights on end, he soon accepted his daughter’s choice, knowing that even if she wanted to do this, he had done it for her. Though as soon as he knew the choice was made, he began to look at their home in Sinnoh. It was getting quite small for them, and while they had Pierre and his wife nearby, their lives needed to move forward. While he knew his daughter was old enough to fend for herself, he was still worried that her career of choice wouldn't help her out. With a home full of empty rooms, Jacque opened his home up for his daughter to live with him, with the promise of her lending a hand if needed. With both sides in agreement, Jacque began looking for places to go. Johto, Kalos, Galar. None of them really seemed to call to him. Though when he came across Raccolto, something about it seemed intriguing. The island life, while not being tropical, was interesting in the way of starting anew. Plus, it was rather affordable compared to some of the ranch homes in Sinnoh and Galar. With plans in hand and their lifes packed up, Jacque and Beatrice took on their new journey towards Raccolto.

Ability: Vital Spirit - cannot be put to sleep. Can sleep on his own accord, but can’t be lulled to sleep.
Moveset:
Discharge - Unleashing bolts of electricity around him, Jacque uses this move to mainly scare off wild predators of his pigs.
Giga Impact - Using a load of energy, Jacque sprints towards a would-be foe, drilling them with the full force of Sinnoh, though he does need to catch his breath after.
Protect - Setting up a shielding force in front of him, Jacque keeps himself safe from an attack that comes his way.
Iron Tail - Strengthening his tail with the force of steel, he swings it about to hit his foe.

Job: Rancher
Ranch Name: HogWild Ranch
Dog/Cat: Growlithe
Dog/Cat’s name: Reginald “Reggie the Ruler of Hecc”
Talents:
- Strength: Jacque is quite fit due to the nature of his work. Whether hoisting up large sacks of feed, or carrying pokemon from one pen to another, his strength is always tested and kept in tact. While he posses a few weights, he usually gets his workouts from his job.
- Sewing and Knitting: Being a father to a young girl, Jacque has had to learn how to sew and knit. While he isn't at the skill of a seamstress, he is quite capable of patching up clothes, or making things like socks, sweaters, hats and gloves. He tries to imporve for his daughter, but also knows it is a different animal than wrangling pokemon.
- Stamina: Jacque can find himself being in peak condition most of the day, even after long days of work. Be it the nature of the job, the fact of raising a child for most of his life, or a combination of the two, he's rare to show fatigue or strain during his day.
- Drawing: with time on his hands while raising pokemon on a ranch, Jacque can always find time to sketch and draw. His main focuses are pokemon and nature, as those are what is typically around him during those times.

Funfacts:
• Prefers larger meals of more substance over smaller meals of finer food, so fancy dinners aren't exactly on his menu or planner.
• Has a slight Canadian accent due to his life in northern Sinnoh, but doesn't seem to show it unless he's either super excited or super serious.
• The two tone in his hair is not from dying, but rather an effect of evolution.
• He keeps the Electizier that he used for evolution in his home.
• Taste of food is typically spicy or sweet. Dry foods tend to make him feel like he's not eating anything of worth.
• His daughter Beatrice is currently 18 years old.
• Prefers working with larger pokemon over smaller pokemon due to his larger stature. Can't feel comfortable working with small, dainty pokemon if you're as big as a wailord huh?
• Enjoys fireplaces and fire pits very much, and always has wood on hand for them.
• Despite a more rustic appearance, he is technologically advanced, for the sake of his daughter and his business growth.
