Iowa Jacobs, Archaeologist Extraordinaire

Name: Iowa Jacobs
Age: 29
Starter: Ramses the Yamask
Kua: Heaven Kua
Manifest: Warder (Spite)

Appearance: Iowa is a physically fit man in his prime. He has a chiseled jaw-line and dashing good looks. He has dark brown/green eyes and brown hair, and is usually quite tan due to the amount of time he spends outside. During school hours, he dresses in a standard and unspectacular suit and tie, but while he's away on excursions, he favors a well-worn brown leather jacket and a wide brimmed, brown fedora.
Personality: Iowa can be described as many things. People tend to favor the words stubborn, overly enthusiastic, and "damn good" when describing him. He has an unparalleled passion for his job, in and out of the classroom. His sense of adventure and discovery are as fiery as the mountains of the Forge Kua and his knowledge and expertise are as boundless and deep as the seas of the Squall Kua. He is dedicated to his friends, and will do anything he can to help them. He has no time for people he considers to be in the wrong, and has no qualms about telling them to bugger off, sometimes with his fists.
History: Iowa is a professor of Archaeology at Zhenyi University. He has worked there for five years, and during that time, has made at least four major discoveries throughout the Heaven Kua at various dig sites. He is renowned across the Kua for his skill in uncovering lost treasures. He returns things he finds and gives them to the University Museum, believing that all such treasures are to be shared with the world, rather than hoarded in a private collection. After pleading with the Board for years, he has finally been given permission from the University to travel abroad and search for foreign artifacts.
Motivation: Iowa has a simple goal in mind during his travels. Collect as many rare and unusual artifacts from as many Kuas as he can, all the while finding and capturing interesting Pokemon to help him in his quest.
