He considers himself diplomatic and peaceful and enjoys competition only if no one gets hurt - though that he takes much joy out. Enthusiasm is something almost entirely foreign to him, though concepts he supports find themselves riveted to an unshakable foundation of almost cult-like conviction. Since he dislikes arguing, however, he does not preach his beliefs, instead simply picking his friends carefully. |

+ | ===== History ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Yarver Bakema, originally from [[place:Pyu Ivvi]], has never had a wildly different personality to the one he currently possesses. His respect for pokémon has never been much different, either, though until [[place: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Taqnateh of course quickly disabused him of this notion. He took his Council hearing in stride (relatively smooth sailing as it might have been, with him literally having no dirt on him other than the aforementioned misconceptions, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The request was granted, and he put himself in charge of the place' | ||
+ | |||
+ | That Yarver would be given the Vale gym was decided quite early into his monk-like life in Taqnateh, and his stubborn adherence to the agreed time allowed preparations for a smooth transition away from //Kumura Rhee//. He was quickly accepted as an authority figure back in Vale once in instated, proving himself an excellent mediator and a friend to many. | ||
