Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths Loyal to his friends and allies: Hope is fiercely loyal to his friends. The option of leaving someone behind very quickly doesn't become an option to him. Makes friends easily: Hope was able to react very well for a young boy and eventually became very close friends with the people he was thrown into the flurry with. He is very quick to suss people out and has an impressive depth to his character judgement at such a bitty age. He's awesome at falling over: … If there is something to trip on? He's the one in canon that's going to do it. Good at Team speeches: He can rally the team! Stubbornness: He's stubborn enough to set out to do a goal and keep at it. Weaknesses: Hopes darkest fear: Hope's darkest fear is being left on his own. He doesn't like being left on his own because it gives him time to dwell on his mothers death, which was the tragedy at the beginning of Final Fantasy XIII. Hope is also a grudge holder. RE: Snow and his mother, Daddy dearest. He can be quick to anger, especially if you mention his mother. He's stubborn: He also wont give up a goal until he's slapped in the face with the realisation that his goal is bad or unattainable. He's got a knack for saying the wrong thing: Once or twice in canon he has the ability to make people laugh at him for trying to rally the group.

Hello? … Um. Hello.
[Poking of a button or two can be heard.]
My name is... Hope. Hope Estheim. I... don't really know what's going on.
Everyone has been nice, but no-one's explained what happened. I was on Pulse with everyone and now... Now I'm here. With this thing. A... pokéball I guess it's called.
Can someone help me? I'm not sure what to do. I don't think I'm supposed to be here.
[He looks down for a moment.]
Has anyone worked out why we're here? Was it the Fal'cie? No... it couldn't be. Could it?
Third Person Sample:
Hope walked along the dusty road. It was... odd to say the least. He knew of course that world travelling was possible, having fallen out of an airship, but he had no idea that this scale of world travel was possible. It'd been quite hard to take in all at once. He sighed and looked down at the red and white ball in his hand.
“So... you're a pokéball huh?” he asked the sphere. He took a look at it before throwing it out like the man had explained.
He watched as the colourless light formed into the shape of what looked like a hound from Pulse. The pokéball popped back into his hands and he stared at the grey-white creature before him. The Absol let out a long “Aaaaabsooool.” stretching slightly before turning to look at Hope. He wasn't quite sure what to do under the intense stare of the pokémon. He nodded to it, as a way of acknowledging it's existence. The Absol seemed to smirk before giving a slight nod back. Hope steeled himself, still unconvinced that these creatures could be completely friendly. He held out his hand and walked cautiously towards the unblinking creature. Hope patted it's head gently, avoiding what looked like a curved blade ontop of it's head. “It's... nice to meet you.” He said, wondering if talking to a pokémon was at all the right thing to do. The Absol smirked and bowed it's head. Turning towards the direction Hope had to go. Hope nodded and walked along side it. They were starting their journey together, the only company that either one had.
After a mile or so of walking, Absol turned and nudged Hope gently. Hope didn't really understand until he made a guess that the pokémon wanted Hope to put him away. Hope held out it's pokéball, the red beam pulling it close and back into it's pokéball. For now, the Absol was to be his only company, as he headed out to start his adventure into the world of Pokémon.
