Description
---{Identification

Name: Mackenzie Lafayette
Alias: Ken, Mackie
Gender: Male; he/him
Age: 26
Birthday: February 8th
Height: 6'2 || 187 cm

Hometown: Laverre City, Kalos
Occupation: For the most part, Ken is actually part of a forest conservation company. Growing up in Laverre where the trees in the city were practically honored it was just something he picked up doing. His grandmother was quite into this occupation and so was his mother, thus he just followed along.

---{Personal Background

History: Born and raised in Laverre where the strange is sometimes normal. The city is known for their love of the grand and ancient tree that inhabit the area; so much so they even made to be apart of their city's gym. Thus it was only natural that Ken's parents were enamored with the natural beauty and indulged some of the more strange things like the thirteenth hour on the grand clock. The beauty of the city, thanks to the natural atmosphere, made it easy for even Ken to fall in love with the charming backdrop to his childhood. After growing into his teens, it was clear Ken wanted to pursue an interest in handling and up keeping the natural world of the woods. So he moved in with his grandparents in Fortree where you were quite literally living in the trees.

Aitema came to his attention solely because his grandmother, as strong willed as she is, quite literally pushed the idea into his lap along with her partner Forrest. Honestly, yes he agreed he was too content with just doing his job and helping around the town. Yes, he didn't really socialize or have any intense goals. He didn't disagree with her reasons but part of him isn't quite sure this is the change of pace for him. Though, he hasn't taken part in a tournament before so what did he have to complain about?
Likes:
Grass & Bug types are his favorite
Really likes to take walks, especially long morning or night hikes
Swampy areas
Likes quick but filling meals
Dislikes:
Intensely dry weather, i.e. deserts
Being inside too often/long periods of time
Smoke or strong artificial smells
Strengths:
Independent {not depending on another for livelihood or subsistence}
Preferring to take care of himself, Ken isn't the type to want to get in other's way and especially not burden them. Having ventured around enough on his own, he has no qualms with keeping up with himself and any mess he might have made. Though this could lead to him acting on his own without much thought to it since it's simply that he's just used to working on his own with his team.
Complaisant {willing to please others; obliging; agreeable}
Ken can often just willingly go along with things. Not having any real distaste towards going with the flow he doesn't mind being told what to do or being asked to do something. There is a sense of satisfaction in helping someone out; he finds assisting and being praised for it rather rewarding. Though, at times he might not go out of his way without being prompted to.
Resourceful {having the ability to find quick and clever ways to overcome difficulties}
Spending a lot of his time in the woods and out and about traveling, Ken's quick to compromise and find solutions for sudden situations. He's been through all manner of wild encounters and moments so he has some experience with acting on the spot when things are tight.
Weaknesses:
Indifferent {having no particular interest or sympathy; unconcerned}
Being on his own most of the time, he's not one to have a lot of a strong sense of desire or goal. Thus coming off as rather uninterested and almost unconcerned with living his life to the fullest. But really he is just pretty satisfied with how his life currently is. Hence why he was pushed off into this tourney, to shed that layer of indifference that he often gives off.
Vague {of uncertain, indefinite, or unclear character or meaning}
Without a clear goal, Ken can be a little lost. He really is the kind to need a goal to accomplish because without one, he would spend all his days wandering around and just taking in the scenery. He can also be really vague about answers to questions. He's not doing it on purpose, he just sometimes isn't sure to how to respond to some kinds of people.
Ignorant {lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated}
Ken is...not the brightest? Mainly with it comes to handling technology. So often due to his limited knowledge most dismiss him as unintelligent. Which to him isn't a big deal and won't try to show them he's not or try to impress anyone. He sticks to his own lane and what he knows.
