OUT OF THE GAME Matt is your typical modern teenager – he likes to play video games more than do his homework, follows a bunch of online streamers, and rarely goes without his phone. The internet is his connection to the outside world, in more ways than one. Growing up, his father was employed in the oil industry while his mother stayed home and homeschooled him, and he led something of a sheltered life, his mother liking to keep him close to home. Video games were his escape from his everyday life, and with the rise of online gaming, he was able to reach out and connect to others from all over the world through them. He knew about Pokemon of course, but since he was born after the Pokemon boom era of the late 90’s, he never really got into the franchise. That is, until he received a Nintendo WorldScreen and a copy of UNOVR for his birthday. Excited to try the game some of the streamers he followed had been raving about, he did a little bit of background research and then dove into the game, eager to explore a whole new world. Maybe now he could finally express himself properly, and try to figure out who he really was, rather than the person his parents thought he was.

INSIDE THE GAME Inside the game: In-game, Beau is much like he is outside the game – rather quiet and lacking confidence. Sure, he’s been playing online games for years, but he never really got the hang of the whole voice chat stuff, and his mother never really approved of it either. But now, Beau is looking to communicate properly with his fellow players, to grow beyond the quiet teenager he is offline. Communication issues aside, he’s friendly and eager to learn about the massive franchise he jumped feet-first into. His primary goal to is explore the new world he’s now entered, and to that end he’ll go anywhere and do anything that isn’t too insane. Yeah, he wants to push his limits, but worry and caution still lingers in the back of his mind.
