Basic Info[/b]
Name; Elijah V. Ricketts.
Age; 35.
Gender; Male.
Species; Human.
Appearance; Elijah has a very rugged look to him. He has dark bushy black hair with a tint of purple to them and the beginnings of a beard growing. He has hazelnut eyes that are often warm and inviting. He is a serial smiler and has a strong build.
He wears a light brown shirt with dark brown suspenders. His pants are black and he wears hiking boots. His look resembles a mountain man, although he doesn't live in the mountains anymore.
Personality; Elijah is a gentle man with good morals to him. He can be a joker sometimes and can be sadistic when he wants to be, but mostly he's pretty easy to get along with. He is smooth and relaxed and maybe has too much of a wandering mind to him. He has a vivid imagination and likes to put on a show.
History; Elijah was born in a small cottage in the mountains to a lumberjack and his wife. Eli was often brought down to the forest area with his dad to watch him chop down trees and one day become his successor in the tree chopping business. With his mother, he'd go bird-watching, but he didn't enjoy it as much.
One day, when Eli was 15, he was working on sawing trees down when he realized, as one went tumbling to the ground, a sharp screeching coming from the top of the tree. He rushed over to find a small Bonsly crying while his family was squashed underneath the towering trunk. Eli did what he could to pull his parents out but it was too late for them. Elijah took in the Bonsly and named him Ainsley, and through his new friend he gained a new respect for the creatures of the forest and even the plants. Despite his father's anger, he put tree chopping behind him and became a pokemon trainer in order to help service wild pokemon in help.
Most of the pokemon he took in were injured or orphaned at a young age. He did much trading in order to give pokemon a home who needed it. Elijah often fancied avian pokemon like his mother did and grew a collection of bird types in his party. It was only in his later years that he began to train his pokemon for battle. Because of the strong bonds Eli was able to forge with his pokemon, it made it easier to train them and made them stronger in battle. His fighting style became known and he was offered a spot as a gym leader in Caliden, which he gladly accepted. This is where he came to settle and met his wife, Ellen, which they now have two children, Marrisa and Paul. Paul is the eldest and currently is a gym trainer at his father's gym.
Other; Elijah has an unexplainable fear of bears.

Gym Info[/b]
Setup;
Elijah's gym is a giant aviary tower made entirely of glass with five stories to it that the trainer must navigate in order to reach Elijah. The trainer must climb into birdcages that work like elevators that will take them to certain floors. On each floor lives certain bird-types that fly around the arena during battle.
FIghting Style; Single
Team;
Eli's team is famously known as Team Hurricane, as most of the birds are named after infamous hurricanes.
Valera- Eli's favorite bird and one of his oldest pokemon. She can be sassy but also motherly and kind. She guards Elijah's children at night.
Camille- One of Elijah's more... outward birds, Barney is very patriotic and brave. Also really dumb. He proves himself in battle, though.
Andrew- A strong fighter on Eli's team, and very into his training. He is very intense and is obsessed with proving himself to his trainer.
Katrina- Katrina is a restless and shrill Skarmony, and not one of Elijah's favorites. Still, she is an older bird and was given to him in a trade while Eli was still an adventurer, and had one of his first flights on her.
Desperaux- This little mouse was Eli's daughter Marissa's idea, having read the book and wanting desperately to see her favorite character be on her daddy's team. Des is the team's peppy and quirky newbie, often getting ahead of himself on the battlefield.
Hugo- Hugo can be seen often around Caliden, making himself known with the children of the town. He loves attention and is all around friendly.
Gym Trainers;
Paul- Elijah's own son, about 15. He is a mouthful and very boastful, unlike his father.
Meaghan- A Swanna pokemorph with plenty of sass, often hanging around the aviary's pond.
