[b]Name:[/b] Professor Cypress

[b]Age:[/b] 28

[b]Appearance:[/b] Being a more 'active' professor than his contemporaries, it's not uncommon to see Cypress out in the field sporting a dirty lab coat instead of spending all day cooped up in a lab. He prefers to dress in less formal attire, sticking to his boots, hiking pants, and a wicking shirt. When not in his professor's attire, he typically sports an old Blackthorn Gym jersey, jeans, and sandals. 

[b]Personality:[/b] If there's one thing Cypress can't stand, it's the idea of being idle. Not being one to stay in one place, Cypress loves getting out and traversing the Kaida region whenever he gets the chance. In fact, Cypress is notorious for vanishing at the drop of a hat and running off to study anything that might strike his fancy. This has led to some 'friction' with his lab staff, but Cypress has proven time and again that he has the skills to back up his position as a Pokémon professor. Outside of work, Cypress prefers to go camping or spend time with his Pokémon. Being a serial note-taker, Cypress keeps a tape recorder in the pocket of his lab coat which he speaks into to make notes and plays them back on his headphones. 

[b]Biography:[/b] Cypress got his start as a young trainer in the Johto Region. Dreaming to become a great trainer like the dragon tamers of Blackthorn City, Cypress traveled the region with his partner Horsea and collected the eight Johto gym badges. Upon entering the Indigo League, Cypress would ultimately be defeated in the second round of the tournament. This defeat however, turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it allowed Cypress to meet with Professor Oak.

Due to Cypress's passion for Pokémon and his steel trap-like mind for memorizing information, he caught the eye of the legendary professor after his loss. Professor Oak opened Cypress's eyes to the possibility of there being more to Pokémon than just battling. With this new direction - and a letter of recommendation from Professor Oak - Cypress enrolled in the Pokémon Professor Program to earn his certification. After completing his final thesis "Why most Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon are Dragon-Type", Cypress achieved his goal and graduated as valedictorian of the program. This allowed the new professor access to a large research grant and the opportunity to study in any region of his choosing: Cypress chose the Kaida Region.

Wanting to learn more about the nature of Dragon-Type Pokémon and why they possess different evolution patterns and abilities than most others; the nesting grounds of Kaida were a perfect opportunity. Now, nearly five years into his study, Cypress has made great strides in his research, discovering and documenting multiple phenomena in regards to his favored type, but the great mysteries still elude him. That's about to change however, with the arrival of three youths from the small town of Plutus...

- As stated above, Cypress has a habit of taking off whenever he feels the need to research a new topic. Once, he traveled across the Kaida region just to observe what type of soil the Kaidan Shellgon eat.
- Cypress will often have Pokémon brought in from other regions to see how they react to the Kaida Region's environment. To date, 93 different species of Pokémon have been introduced to Kaida through Professor Cypress (and subsequently sent home).
- Cypress is one of the few individuals who is allowed to freely travel the Kaida Region thanks to his status as a Pokémon professor. i.e. he doesn't need Overseer permission to enter restricted areas.
