Personality: Some characters have a single key part of their character that makes up their entire image. One that you can immediately label them with and just roll with it all across the board when describing them. Unfortunately, Aoto isn't that kind of guy. Or at the very least you can't pull that off until you get to know him well. So let's cover a few of those words, shall we?
Aoto is up front and foremost, friendly. The kind of guy who will make friends ridiculously easy once he opens his mouth and chats up someone in a casual manner. He even gets called on this a few times, as he's just a Nice Guy. It helps, of course, that he has the whole heroic "throw myself into danger without hesitation" when he sees someone in trouble attitude to go with that open friendliness. Nothing like leaping to the rescue to break the ice, right? Even further than that, once he decides he wants to protect someone? He will god damn protect them. He will be UNSHAKABLE in this fact and as he himself says, he'd dive into hell itself to save someone if they went down that far. This applies to both protecting and supporting them. Earn his trust or loyalty and you'll have a guy who will take a bullet for you if it was necessary.
Of course for all the courageous responsibility... Aoto can also be kind of a jerk. Either with intent or just due to being blunt and honest, he is not at all above teasing, poking fun at, or prodding a person in their weak spot for massive damage to the rage meter. Piled right along side said jerkiness, is the fact that... well, he's kind of a perv. Not in the sense that he'll go out of his way to see a girl naked if the chance presented itself-- rather than that, he finds girls he knows being in various states of undress pretty damn embarrassing-- but if he sees a cute or hot girl, he will not shy away from commenting on their looks.
Speaking of embarrassing and shy-- Aoto is also... well. He's kind of a tsundere. Not in the extreme over the top sense, mind you. That's Finnel. Aoto is just awkward as hell when it comes to liking a girl and will more often than not opt for glancing away and engaging the whole "PSSH NO WAY" reaction if someone were to call him on having interest in someone. Thankfully this only applies to liking someone like that, as he will quite bluntly acknowledge his fondness for people. It's just when it takes on a romantic turn that he'll turn into a dodgy doofus.
Aoto is also really damn forgiving. If someone once tried to kill him before? Well... If he can find a way for them to be on friendly terms instead of enemies until the end of time? He'll do his damnedest to go that route over eternal feuding. Even if you go after his friends, he'll be willing to make up with the offender if they show even the slightest signs of earnest regret, or had reasons he can comprehend for their actions. It's only truly evil people who show no remorse and are basically flat out monsters with no regard for the lives of others that he can't stand. Pretty standard fare for the protagonist of an RPG, right?
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ Determined! Once he sets his mind to something, he will see it through to the end.
+ Knock him down, he'll get right back up again.
+ Artistic! He is a goddamn genius when it comes to making anything that involves putting stuff together.
+ On that note, he is incredibly skilled with tools of pretty much any type.
+ Has really good luck when it comes to gambling!! Or anything that involves pure chance.
+ Charismatic! He's good at winning people over through pure emotion and yelling. Provided they aren't completely blocked off of course.
+ Can remain optimistic even in the worst possible situations.
- Trusts people a bit too easily. He's been fooled his fair share of times.
- While he's plenty artistic, he kind of fails at understanding fashion...
- Super technical jargon kinda flies riiiiight over his head. Which sucks for him since there's a lot back home.
- His determination and loyalty to can lead to some really stupid choices.
- Doubly so if it involves someone he's promised to protect.

First Person Sample: Yo there, Johto!
*A jovial Aoto is raising a hand to the video feed, a toothy grin plastered on his face*
I have come to you with a very important message! You see, the great Master Aoto has decided to make all of your Pokémon catching endeavors ten-- no twenty-- no one hundred times easier! You see, using a few spare parts I found laying around the Center here in Violet, I created an incredible and totally awesome new way to make use of your balls! And no, you're not allowed to make a joke about that. I already did it the other day, and was judged pretty damn harshly for it.
*And from off camera he pulls up what... most definitely looks like some kind of bazooka. One painted white and red and generally looks very suspicious.*
Behold! The Pokézooka Alpha!
With this fine tool, even the most powerful of Pokémon shall fall to just a single well aimed Pokéball! It puts out enough force that it could even take out a huge chunk of its HP in the process! Mightier than a Charizard! Faster than a Rapidash! More impact than a shot from the cannon on the back of a Blastoise! Not a single 'mon shall stand the blow dealt by this work of art!
*He hefts it over his shoulder with a cackle*
If you want one, just hit me up! I'll be more than happy to spread these around a b--*a rather loud whistle is blown from off camera* --huh? What's up, Officer?
... ... hah?! Wea... weapons are banned?! But this isn't a weapon-- It's a tool for catching-- hey, wait-- whoa! Hold on a second--!! S-Sorry Johto, gotta jet! *KSSH*
Third Person Sample:
Some people might consider interdimensional kidnapping to be a horrifying thing. Those are the kind of people who freak out as soon as they get shoved out the house back in New Bark Town. Or wind up accidently turning on the gear in some odd manner and embarassing themselves. Or they just demand an explanation and bark orders. That kind of stuff is a pretty common reaction, right?
Aoto, on the other hand, was just cackling like a relatively sane madman as he strolled out into the lovely Route 29, a tubby yellow and black Pokemon strolling at his side. He stares off into the distance, then up to the relatively blue sky-- the sun even blinding him for a moment before a cloud decided to fix that for him.
"This place is incredible! Is this what the surface is like? I know it's not Ar Ciel's surface, but... It's still gotta be some kind of surface! The clouds are waaaaaaaay up there, and this is solid as can be-- and there was even some kind of river back the other way! I feel like a kid in a candy store, only the store is full of nature!"
After such a declaration, he had to pause. It was one thing to ramble on like this to a friend, but here he was just shouting out his feeling to no one in particular... Or at least he thought as much, when the Makuhita at his side let out a tiny grunt of acknowledgment.
"Heeeey, right! I got you to keep me busy! What d'ya say, little guy? ... little big guy? Up for following your amazing Trainer Aoto into the depths of Johto to conquer all he sees before him? We'll make chump change outta those gyms!"
Given how the Makuhita pretty much lives for training, it couldn't help but give a firm pound of its chest of approval at this idea. With a loud "Makuuuuuuu!" afterward. If his new loud and eager trainer was willing to help him his quest for total battle domination, he would not object in the slightest!
"Right on, that's the spirit! We'll never give up, never surrender! Those Pokemon will never know what hit 'em once you get in the ring! ... er, the grass...?" He paused for a moment, as his yellow pudgy buddy stared up at him. "The ring comes later! We gotta get you into tip top shape first! But don't worry, Makubro! I'll be right there with ya every step of the way! Viva la Makuhita!"
Raising his hand skyward with a loud yell, the Makuhita did exactly the same. Despite his eagerness to delve into things, Aoto was well aware that he had responsibilities to get back to back home. He had people to zip back through time and space to protect. Battles to fight, a world to protect-- the whole nine yards! But for now, all he could do was go with the flow. Complaining about the whole kidnapping thing wouldn't get him anywhere, and if his new partner in crime was any indication... It was going to be one hell of an interesting journey.
