{H}istory:
Volkner was born and raised in Sunyshore City, his home of his entire life. Growing up, Volkner was never interested in anything, except battling, which would later be what his life revolved around. However, his parents never supported his decision. His parents did not even support Volkner in any way growing up. It did not affect Volkner greatly, however, because his independence was manifested in his actions.
Volkner was placed into a pre-school, as his parents did not want to deal with him during the day. There, it was where he met his best friend, Flint. The two stuck to each other, and grew up to be the closest of friends, despite differing views and styles of living. Flint would grow up to be the popular jock that everyone loved during their junior and senior high school lives, while Volkner would be the lone wolf-esque guy that everyone tended to avoid. Grade wise, Volkner was the top of his class. He wasn’t interested in anything extracurricular, or anything curricular for that matter, so he decided it would be best to pour his free time into school work.
After high school, Volkner was offered the position of the Sunyshore Gym Leader, because the previous leader had recently vacated it. Volkner, thinking there would be worthy challengers showing up at the gym, almost instantly accepted the offer. However, to his dismay, all trainers he has faced were nothing compared to him. He absolutely destroyed them, a feat that irritated him. All Volkner wanted was to have fun fighting someone whose skill matched his, but it only ended in disappointment.
Somewhere along the line, Volkner became an frequent smoker. Flint would almost always be off having at parties and functions, and smoking sort of filled the warm space that Flint usually occupied.
{P}ersonality:
Volkner is seen by his peers as a reserved, unfeeling individual. He does not reveal much about himself to others, and is unexpressive of any emotions he has. He often hides from society – not because he’s awkward, but because he’s not interested. Nothing really piques his interest. Nothing, except battling.
Battling is Volkner’s passion. Battling completely changes the entire persona of Volkner. Once provoked into battle, Volkner becomes this entirely different person. His eyes light up, his body becomes active, and his focus is entirely on winning. He will almost always refuse to accept defeat, even if victory seems bleak. During battle, his skills and thoughts are exceptionally well, earning him appropriate title of the eighth Gym Leader of Sinnoh. After battle, his battling high continues for a short while, as his body starts to calm down from the rush. When he’s completely calmed, he returns to his usual, quiet self.
The only person who really knows what goes through Volkner’s mind is his closest, perhaps only, friend, Flint, of the Elite Four. Together since what seems like the dawn of time, Volkner revers Flint as the only person who knows the true him.

The same as Thorton’s.
{S}how me your skills:
Inhale. Exhale. The smoke escaped his mouth, as he laid his arm on his side, the cigarette between two fingers. Lying on the wall with one leg bent, he moves the cigarette to his mouth again, and sucks in air, forcing the smoke into his mouth. He takes a deep breath, slowly exhaling the gray clouds. He sighs heavily, as the past trainers that have challenged have not been much of a fight. The blonde gym leader closes his eyes, resting his head in ennui. He had never been in such a gloomy mood; even his closest friend, Elite Four member Flint, would not be able to lift his mood.
“Maybe...” he started, pausing at his thoughts, taking another hit from the burning piece. “Maybe if… only if someone, anyone, can spark even a slight challenge.” He blew out the smoke, looking up into the sunny, cloudless day.
