Welcome to Gaia! ::

Oliver was born to a single teenage mother a little over eight months in Castelia city, in Unova. He stayed with her till he was four until child services got involved due to some concern neighbors about him being left alone for long periods of time. (People get concern when your toddler spends most of his time on a fourth floor balcony without supervision). He ended up in foster care and occasional Juvy for status offenses, having attempted to run away from homes and alcohol possession. (He would have got ten dollars for that bottle of jim beam to.) The foster homes were alright but he just didn’t want to be there. He didn’t want to go home either. He wasn’t sure what he wanted.

At fifteen he ended up under the care of Yuji, moving to Nuvema town (Why is this place so small) an older man who ran a dojo and taught martial arts. Things got better, it might have been that he was the only minor under Yuji supervision at the time. Yuji actually cared enough to help him get his Pokémon license and his first pokemon.

Oliver wasn’t really interested in Pokemon all that much but it did open up a lot more opportunities and well… Corri was cute. Not that he would ever admit it. The cottonee did get him interested in biochemistry and toxicology. He actually was inspired to do more than the barest work to finish his classes in high school managing to graduate without the highest GPA but decently. He got his juvie record expunged and sought out colleges.
The community college wasn’t outstanding but it offered the basics, he went for General Degree in Science focusing on biology and chemistry and at the very least gathered the basics. He found a Joltik on the grounds and named her Citrine. He graduated and attempted to transfer into a four year college to get a bachelor degree.

Living on campus was… different. Nimbasa was a bustling city and he hadn’t been in a large city in years. The campus food wasn’t great, he was surrounded by fast food, though they had a nice Indian curry place close by. He studied but it was beginning to drag and he felt he wasn’t getting anywhere. Not truly.

He decided to attempt to step it up a notch and decided to try an independent study without informing his instructors. One of his roommates had a Gulpin, he had access to collection plates and gear in class, he figured if Gulpin could digest scrap iron, then it would be worth it to look at its gastric acid makeup.

It wasn’t as if getting the acid was difficult, Gulpin spat it up in certain attacks. Getting it to react was a pain, the acid produced in the attack was not what Gulpin used to digest its food, being milder. Gulpin also learned acid so it seemed to be a valid way to gather the material. He probably should have talked to an instructor about obtaining a proper room to obtain the acid.
It wasn’t as if he hadn’t taken precautions, he had protective gear and had looked up wind direction and was behind the pokemon who was supposed to aim it attack in a proper container. He hadn’t keep up with the weather reports when he was gathering the material, and a shift in wind sent it back and splattered him.

He ended up somewhat lucky, he had scissors on hand to cut through his shirt and coat and plenty of water to wash it away. He did end up nearly naked in a fountain in the middle of a campus around midnight… yeah, he isn’t to surprise they called the campus police.

He ended up having a disciplinary hearing and suspension. Peeved, Oliver left Unova for Kodo deciding to take a break, attempt to see the sights, maybe poke at this egg of Arceus, and put some space between him and Yuji.

(Possibly Rp recruitment to Team Rocket)

Plans for work – Labs – Medical / Demolitions

Oliver is interested in creating antivenoms for human use and attempting to replicate pokemon abilities through cell isolation and culturing. He wants to see if he can replicate a Flareons flame sack and learn what process the inhaled air goes through to come out as fire and the possibilities of creating flame retardant silks… if they can produce spider silk proteins in goat milk well… who says the process can’t be applied to larger spider pokes? Or that actual Gulpin stomach acid can’t be contained and be used to melt obstacles. He has big ideas.
