Physical Description: Chris has blonde hair and blue eyes. He is tall and thin and looks young.. He typically wears casual clothing, such as a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers. He rarely wears anything dressier than a blazer. When he is feeling impatient, he taps his foot incessantly., as if to say "Let's get going already!"
Personality: Chris is rambunctious and rarely afraid to speak his mind. He's a very reckless and rebellious person, having very little tolerance for authority. While he will generally follow the rules, if only to evade punishment, when the rules are, in his words, "stupid", he is the last to follow them. He is stubborn to a fault and generally intolerant of other people's viewpoints. In spite of this, he has a strong sense of justice and cares deeply for his Pokémon. When others threaten them, he will always come to their aid, and the same goes for anyone he is friends with.
Biography: Chris was born in Virbank City. Virbank City is known as "the city of falling fog and rising stars"; it is a city where the local Gym Leader is a punk rocker and the air is filled with smoke. Thus, it is not really surprising that Chris is a bit of a delinquent. It is not like he grew up in the slums, but one's upbringing does reflect one's environment, and his environment was quite literally toxic. He is a "city kid", through and through. Thus his friend group had a lot of hallmarks of a "gang", even if he did not commit any crimes. He's loyal to his friends, first and foremost, and all of that started here.
From an early age, Chris has been deeply interested in Pokémon, especially Electric-type Pokémon. Thus, when he got his first Pokémon as a pet (a Shinx named "Starr"), he cared deeply for it. He went off on a brief adventure, like how most Trainers do. He never really got very far; family issues came up and he had to come back home. But it did give him some experience with training Pokémon, and Chris would readily use this experience by battling other Trainers.
Eventually, when he was a bit older. Chris got a bit of a job opportunity. Some word of mouth was spreading, and an "anonymous benefactor"-which Chris suspects to have been Virbank's Gym Leader, Roxie sent a tip to an Electric-type Gym Leader that this Trainer was an Electric-type expert. Volkner accepted this tip, and so Chris ended up moving to Sunyshore, where he became a Gym Leader. It was not long afterwards that Chris lost his Pokémon to Team Plasma.
Afterwards, he heard about how Unova was now lead by Team Plasma and was horrified. When the same thing happened to Sinnoh, enough was enough. Chris took on the name of "Reef" and moved to Snowpoint, where he now fights as part of the rebellion. His personality might not endear him to the other members, but "Reef"'s goal is clear; and few are more passionate about it then he is.
