History changes
Red grew up to a loving mother and father. Red's father, while not rich was noted as one of Union's best Trainers of his time, and consequently, Red grew up around Pokemon and was very comfortable with them. He would also bring Red presents from far places and occasionally even take him outside as long as it was not farther than the Verdant Forest. This went on and people started expecting great things out of him until he was 8. One day, his father abruptly vanished, and Red's mother couldn't get a word out of anyone on why, just he was out and should be back soon. Soon never happened, and whether Red's father just cut ties with them, went on a journey for Union to find places even farther out, was exiled, or the Council tapped him for a duty that required he cut ties, no one can say for sure, just that no one seems to know what happened. Perhaps he was killed finally by wild Pokemon. Red though, believes with all his heart and soul that his father is alive, and over the next 10 years he grew somewhat bitter about the possibility of him just skipping out on him and his mother.
School was a serious consideration however, and while Red applied to be a Trainer at a rather young age, he showed promise with his family's pet, a Cleffa named Judy that Red's mother had befriended but never properly bonded with. Judy evolved under Red's care, but while he'd make regular trips outside; he wasn't deeply serious about training and focused more on his school work until a rival appeared. They pushed Red for more, and then more still when he had to work to just to measure up. It was some where during this time Red finally decided that yes. He wanted to be a serious Trainer. He wanted to beat his rival unquestionably, and be even better than his father; with the small personal victory that he wouldn't walk out of whatever family he made.
Though, time has a way of throwing snags. Red never slacked on his school work, and thus eventually graduated with enough promise that he might even be able to go to the University. With the delay of finishing his education however, Red discovered one day that while Judy was just as tough as any Pokemon still, the poor dear was getting old as she'd been friends with Red's mom when she was several years younger, before Red was even born. Likely not enough to be a serious risk, Red decided not to chance it and retired Judy from battling, and she has returned to her status as beloved pet Clefairy.
This perhaps reminded Red that he promised himself to be a great Trainer, and while he's still debating on the University, for now he's going to find a good partner to forge his path with.
Finding his partner in Abelard, or Abby for short; Red quickly pursued his path, training and battling, notable in the he helped forge a path through the archipelago, and introduced Totodiles amongst other Pokemon to Union. He considered heavily becoming a Ranger, though he instead devoted a lot of time to Volunteering at the Pokemon Habitat, and despite initial resistance, introduced Judy back into the fold when the Gigan threat turned more serious. It's also important to note that Red is 19 in this AU.
Personality changes
Well, first off, while it might be endearing, in this much more dangerous setting, Red has let go of a lot of his naivety regarding Pokemon as; they will kill him otherwise. He's also worked with Pokemon for some time as opposed to not in his Canon.
Most of Red's traits are actually the same, they are just applied or used in different ways. Red is still quiet friendly, and likely still a little awkward because of what may be likely something of a very mild form of ADD instead of just being from a very small town. He is still very smart, and actually applied his studious nature to his school, which is why he may now attend the University if he wishes. He still has a talent for picking up things quickly, perhaps inherited from his father. His drive rather that being focused solely on Pokemon has been moved to his schoolwork because of a practical standpoint of needing to make sure he can provide for himself later. His ADD extends to occasionally zoning out when left to his own devices, day-dreaming of strategies until roused from it by an external source, and he frequently looks sleepy from all the concentration, but is quite sharp in reality.
Some of Red's likes that aren't Pokemon include juggling, or toying with a small set of balls his father gave him when he was very very young, they come in many colors, but only share aesthetics with pokeballs, not retaining the ability to change sizes or even open. Red is fairly secretive about them because his father made him promise to be, and because as he grew older, he realized the rest of Union would have made him throw them away.
Which leads to Red's father. While Red is very angered by his father not being around, and there being a good chance he is still alive, Red learned a lot of what he knew of Pokemon from him, and will keep small sentimental things to remember him. Conversely, Red aims to surpass his father in every way possible, find him, and tell him how worthless he is for not having been around for him and his mother. Needless to say Red's father is a very complicated subject that even Red himself hasn't discovered his true feelings about, and this frustration can result in irrational anger.
Other things Red likes are competent Trainers, and for this reason has mulled over joining the Rangers more than once, but like his schooling, hasn't yet made up his mind.
And, onto Red's ability to commit. Unlike in Canon where things were much more simple and direct and school seems nigh-optional, this AU does facilitate the need for one to plan at least to a small degree what they will do at such time as they stop being a Trainer, unless Union gives very nice pension to those that put themselves on line. Red does not have commitment problems, and just needed that small push to get serious about his training, but he did want to finish at least basic schooling. This Red is slightly more sensible and practical, again from being older. Still, one has to question the practicality of vowing to themselves about being the best Trainer in Union.
Also as to be expected, due to the age difference from his Canon and AU counterparts, Red is more mature, and women are an interest, because he likes them, and two, he really wants to settle down one day, raise a family, and not leave it abruptly like his father.
