Trainer Information
Name: Dr. Taivas Cogitare
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Family: Mother and father in Heliopolis, younger sister currently traveling as a trainer.
Hometown: Silver Town
Starter Pokemon: Hoothoot
Alignment: Neutral
Occupation: Gym Leader, Professor of Archaeology and Anthropology at the Arthias University.
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Appearance: Taivas is very average in build. He stands at a slightly above average height, and maintains a trim but toned physique. He hides his green eyes behind round glasses, and maintains a professional hair cut, a few gray hairs starting to mix with his brown hair.
When it comes to apparel, very rarely would one find the professor without a collared shirt and a tie. He usually prefers suit jackets, but occasionally sports a vest. He is a professor, and therefore a representative of the university, and so he dresses to impress. Even when studying at location, Taivas wears his collar, tie, and slacks. He also almost always wears the same brown leather shoes. He also always carries a book bag slung over his shoulder, a mahogany cane in his hand, a fine silver pocket watch, and usually a pipe in his mouth.
Personality: Taivas is a thinker. As a junior professor at the Arthias University, he spends a majority of his time dedicated to his studies, or teaching younger minds. He values knowledge above all else. He is not stoic, though. He often jokes with his students, or whomever he is with. He is an extroverted thinker, and therefore he has been published multiple times, Taivas attempting to gain approval from his intellectual peers. He is often considered one of the forefront experts in historic world relations.
At the age of fifteen he ended his Pokemon Trainer pursuits and enrolled in school. It was at this time his sister was born. He was a student for several years at an academy in Platinum Port before graduating and attending school at Arthias University in Silver Town. While at Arthias he also turned back to his old Pokemon training ways, and was at the gym in Silver Town training his Pokemon almost as much as he was at the library researching. At the age of 32 he earned his doctorate, and was hired as a junior professor at Arthias University.
The next year the gym leader in Silver Town decided to retire. He named Taivas, who had trained so hard in his gym since he started attending Arthias University, his successor. Taivas was flattered, and graciously accepted the position. He now runs the gym and lectures at AU. He also often frequents the Mercury Ruins, where a majority of his research takes place.
Party Pokemon
Species: Noctowl
Nickname: Archimedes, Archy
Gender: Male
Personality: Noctowl is the definition of elitist. He's anti-social and egotistical. There are very few who have earned his respect, namely Taivas, Taivas's sister, and Taivas's Xatu and Togetic. He is a fierce combatant, and incredibly proud. He does not back down in a battle.
Species: Xatu
Nickname: Xavier
Gender: Male
Personality: Xavier is the definition of stoic. He maintains a calm attitude even in the most heated of battles, and is only second to Noctowl in Taivas's team.
Species: Togetic (Shiny)
Nickname: Persephone
Gender: Female
Personality: Persephone is a sweet, loving, benevolent creature. She is largely responsible for maintaining order among the hot-headed and egotistical Pokemon in Taivas's team. She is also Archimedes' mate.
Species: Crobat
Nickname: Zoe
Gender: Female
Personality: During a time when Taivas was attempting to diversify his Pokemon, he captured a Zubat, and spent much time training her. She is still a favorite on his team.
Species: Mandibuzz
Nickname: Pallas
Gender: Male
Personality: Pallas is another proud bird on Taivas's team. He's just as egotistical as Noctowl and even meaner. He does not tolerate any creature he feels is inferior. It took many years for Taivas to earn the respect of this bird.
Species: Charizard
Nickname: N/A
Gender: Male
Personality: Charizard has been with Taivas since he was a Charmander. While he is not as sweet as Persephone, Charizard is probably the second most sociable Pokemon on Taivas's team. Charizard often works his hardest to impress the other Pokemon Taivas carries, and fights fiercely in battle.

Taivas cannot stand the idea that some people have no desire to learn. He believes increasing one’s knowledge is the only way to fulfill one’s life. Taivas also finds politics to be very important. He is infuriated by those who do not share his passion for the intellectual life. This often marks him as pretentious, and he often finds trouble in interacting with non-intellectual people.
History: Taivas grew up as an only child in Heliopolis for many years. He was always buried in a book growing up, and managed to make very few friends. At the age of nine he developed an interest in Pokemon. For several months he saved his money so he could buy a Pokeball and go catch his very first Pokemon. On his tenth birthday, his father took Taivas into the wilds outside of Heliopolis, and gave him a Premier Ball with which to catch his very first Pokemon. Using his father's Pokemon (and a lot of assistance from his father), Taivas subdued and captured a Hoothoot. It took many month of training and bonding, but soon the Hoothoot, who was not a fan of being around anyone, warmed up to Taivas. He then took off on his own Pokemon adventure, and for four years he traveled, catching Pokemon, gathering badges, and learning about the world. At the age of fifteen he ended his Pokemon Trainer pursuits and enrolled in school. It was at this time his sister was born. He was a student for several years at an academy in Platinum Port before graduating and attending school at Arthias University in Silver Town. While at Arthias he also turned back to his old Pokemon training ways, and was at the gym in Silver Town training his Pokemon almost as much as he was at the library researching.
