Personality:
Reuben has always been a friendly and relatively chilled out person. He's polite and well mannered but not to the point that he is uptight, he loves to have a laugh and a joke around and can generally be a bit goofy without intending to be. He tries his best to be on anyones good side and doesn't really like conflict. He'll protect the ones he loves from conflict but if its useless fighting he'd rather not get involved or spark anyone off.
He is a confident person but because of his laidback attitude he's more likely to follow along than be a leader of any project. Even in his band he finds it a very collective effort and they all work together rather than focusing on their frontman.
He's starting to grow up a bit and become a little more spontaneous and less of a bumbling idiot when it comes to romance but still panics and has his cheeks flush red on multiple occasions. Which isn't helped by his perfectionist nature and desire to have everything he does or creates go right. He can get himself down sometimes when it comes to his work and usually just mopes around the bar or plays some sad songs to himself till he feels better and inspired.

History:
Originally from Mistralton town in Unova, Reuben was brought up as an only child. His father was a well known classical musician and his mother was a housewife who raised 'domestic pokemon' in her free time. So he was raised in an artistic and finacially stable family. He was raised to play the piano and guitar but as he got older and started to find his way in music he picked up the trumpet and gave up on piano lessnons. Reuben is well travelled and has visted places within Kanto, Hoenn and Unova with his familiy alongside studying abroad in Johto since he was sixteen. During his time studying he focused on bettering his guitar and trumpet playing alongside his vocals in hopes of a career in a band or solo. He became very interested in the ska, punk and acoustic genres and decided that was the sort of sound he wanted to create. (Much to his father's dismay which has left the with a rocky relationship.)

He was in a few bands while studying but it was more for fun than fame so nothing became of their underground music. Once his course ended and he recieved his Bachelors Degree he decided to take a year of traveling doing odd jobs and getting inspiration for his music alongside meeting potential band members. After traveling he found himself quite connected to the Tohaku Region, a few of his band mates lived in the area and his girlfriend recently moved to one of the cities so he decided to get himself settled there for a while and start earing some money to pay for his rent and food so he could stop relying on his mother's help.

Medical Notes:
