Fandom Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: War Of Zodarus

[Riolux]

If you're interested, just say so. Feel free to make a character, though the starting one will be a Servant, Follower, or Renegade. The Legendary Pokemon Faction you pick does not decide anything save for base color scheme and Gifted Ability. You can pick any Pokemon for any Faction.

 

[Dredgen]

@Riolux, I cannot draw for the life of me, so I'll be trying to explain what my character looks like. However, they don't have to have major differences with their color scheme and overall look, though, correct? Just similarities to the legendary Pokémon from their faction? Sorry for asking so many questions. x'D

 

[Riolux]

The base color scheme is very prevalent with the Legendary Pokemon selected. And don't worry about drawing anything. Description is completely fine.

 

[Sinensis]

When will we be entering the story? Guessing from how you can be renegades and followers have standings in towns and everything, it's not the very second we are bought in but having a rough time from when we are pulled in will help a lot .

 

[Riolux]

Humans are brought in at any point during the war, so it is entirely optional to each of you when your character would've been brought in.

 

[Noivian]

Name: Arthur


Age: 18


Gender: Male


Species: Honedge


Faction: Zekrom


Alignment: Neutral Good - Arthur will do what he must to uphold his own ideals of equality and justice, as well as the ideas of those around him. 


Fatal Flaw: Arthur's fatal flaw is that he is very delusional and headstrong. He refuses to bend on his ideas and this often gets him into spats with those around him.


Saving Grace: Arthur doesn't seem to have a bad bone in his body. His ideas, while rather rash and idealistic, aren't intended to harm anyone. He's very open and honest about this. 


Appearance: He has an electric blue blade, a black guard, half blue and half black hilt, with a blue pommel. The sash is black, ending in a blue lightning pattern. His sheath is various shades of black with lines on them resembling Zekrom's lines. His pupil is white and the color surrounding it is red. 





Moves: Slash, Sacred Sword, Aerial Ace, Swords Dance


Fighting style: Arthur prefers to be wielded by someone else in combat. His ribbon serves as a link between the two of them, allowing for them to communicate via telepathy rather than talking. If need be, he can temporarily possess whoever holds him, to help move them through a complicated move or keep them out of harm's way. If no one is around to wield him, however, he's more than capable of fighting on his own. His moves are all attacking or boosting his attack, but he only fights defensively.


Personality: Arthur is a rather friendly Pokemon. He has a tendency to get involved in everyone's business, and try to help out as much as he can. He tends to stick around one partner, generally whoever seems to be able to use him the best in combat situations. Arthur values equality and justice, above all else, believing in a world karma, that what goes around comes around. It's because of this that he feels like he doesn't have to be the absolute judge on every wrong-doer he finds. He'll do what he can and karma will have its way with them. He holds strongly to his morals, generally believing that it's best to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. For this reason, Arthur is a bit naive.


History: No one, not even Arthur knows what his history prior to being summoned was. Since arriving, he's done very little to make a name for himself, mostly spending his time searching for other Servants to partner up with. 


Likes: Swordplay, music, helping others


Dislikes: His ideals proven wrong, being forgotten or unneeded


Talents: Swordplay, duh


Hobbies: See above


Fears: Dying, failure, others dying because of his failures


Crushes: None


Orientation: Straight

[Noivian]

I'm working on a picture of him. 

 

[Riolux]

@Noivian Arthur's pretty cool. I like his personality and I think he'll be a pretty interesting character in the roleplay. Overall, great job!

 

[Noivian]

Yay!

 

[Riolux]

I honestly am quite intrigued to see what the others come up with. It will be a very...unique group once everything's said and done, I think.

 

[Noivian]

@Riolux I was tempted to make a Greninja that got soul snatched by Yveltal from Reshiram, but I dunno anymore.

 

[Sinensis]

Do renegades keep the perks of their previous faction if they are renegades? just so i know, my character seems like he would abandon his original faction.

 

[Riolux]

@Noivian Sounds like a pretty unique idea.


@TaykillzYep. They keep any abilities they gained when summoned.

 

[Runesage]

Hey @Riolux, I remember this. Is there a way that I could use my characters from last time?

 

[Riolux]

@RunesageHi! I don't mind at all! It's good to see ya again, dude!

 

[Runesage]

The Essentials:


Name: "My name is Aneirin."


Age: "The number 13 comes to mind."


Gender: "I am a male. Was it hard to tell?"


Species: "I am an Absol, obviously.


Faction: "I'm no longer part of a Faction" (Renegade, former Follower of Xerneas, but Soul-Snatched from Kyogre, as evidenced by the darker blue hues in his light blue fur.)


Alignment: "I live by a personal code, not abstract concepts of right and wrong." (Lawful neutral)


Fatal Flaw: "My biggest struggle is responsibility. Leadership wouldn't suit me very well."


The burden of responsibility. The ability to sense disasters comes with a personal feeling of responsibility to warn others of their coming. He'll go to great lengths to warn others, and he'll often take massive risks to get to the area where the disaster will happen before it strikes. Also, if he is leading a group, he'll be rather indecisive, due to not wanting to make a wrong choice. Failure to warn others and failure to lead weigh heavily on him, and he personally is hard on himself after that.


Saving Grace: "I think my best quality is my drive to succeed."


Aneirin is driven. If he sets out to accomplish a task, he will use all of his effort. This is partly the cause of his flaw, because he takes the failures that he has very personally. This drive allows him to focus almost perfectly on the task at hand, allowing him to do come up with some pretty unorthodox solutions to problems.


Appearance:





Credit to nokivaris on Deviantart. The art is not mine.


Fighting style: "Fighting is something I'm good at, even if it's inefficient at times. I know where people hurt, and aim for that."


He, unlike most of Xerneas's followers, has no inhibitions about violence, if someone is getting in the way. That doesn't mean he won't try a peaceful solution first, but if the opponent insists on fighting, he will. His fighting style is very calculated. Most healers know the places that hurt the most on a body, and he is no exception. He goes for fast, precise strikes on sensitive areas of the body, trying to end it quickly, but with as little permanent damage as possible, unless he's angry. If he's angry, he switches his aim from points that would cause pain, to vulnerable spots that will quickly incapacitate his rival.


Personality and/or Writing example:


"But, you can't leave!" the young follower of Xerneas protested, looking up at Aneirin worriedly. "He can still make it!"


"I'm sorry, but I can't help you. There is going to be a tornado-"


"So? He's dying, and I don't know what to do." The follower said, tears welling up into his eyes. Aneirin felt tears well up. It was time for him to make the choice he knew was coming. Would he focus on his calling as a healer, or would he focus on his duty as an Absol. The responsibilities seemed to conflict more and more often these days. A silence seemed to prevail over the entire area, only broken by the groans of the injured Pokemon.


The silence continued until Aneirin started walking out of the room. "Wait, where are you going? He's going to die if you don't help him!"


A single tear fell down Aneirin's face as he turned to look at his former co-worker. "I'm going to do my duty. There is no good choice in this matter. If I stay, the town gets destroyed, and more people will be hurt and killed. If I go, then I will forever bear the guilt of his death." More tears began to fall. "I choose to follow my soul. Staying will only cause me more trouble. I can run from the duty of a healer, but I can't run from the duty of an Absol."


"So you're running away? Forever?" The follower asked.


Aneirin nodded, tears now streaming down his face. "I'm sorry," he said one more time, knowing it was woefully inadequate for the occasion. He then turned and fled, running as fast as he could towards where the tornado would hit, fervently praying that Arceus would grant him the strength to live alone and rejected, as all Absols seemed to end up.


History: "History? I can't remember most of it. My earliest memory is a feeling of being pulled, and then Xerneas standing over me. I remembered my name, and Xerneas told me that I was one of her followers, a healer, a spreader of peace. Everything that Xerneas said made sense and fit, but I got the sense that something was being held back. Xerneas promised to help my mind heal, and eventually regain my memories, as long as I continued as a follower. I did for a while, but then the pressure of healing and the pressure of warning began to build up, and I decided to leave. I split from the group and fled to Zodiac city."


Yeah, I'll work out the human history soon enough, but this should be enough to start.


The Extra:


Likes: "I like good food, helping people, being successful, and, even though I left, I still like and respect Xerneas."


Dislikes: "I really don't like being being alone, even though I have to be. I don't like death, failure, and I don't like it when I can't plan all the way through


Talents: "I mean, I can sense disasters with my horn, but that was obvious. Oh, you mean personal talents. I'm a pretty good fighter, I'm a decent healer, and I can solve puzzles pretty well. I've got pretty good stamina, and I've got a knack for cooking. I can read footprint runes, and Unown script."


Hobbies: "I never really have much time for hobbies because I always have to go somewhere, be it to heal, or to warn. In my down time I enjoy cooking, learning about things, and solving puzzles."


Fears: "I'm afraid of failure, rejection, and losing control. I'm afraid of myself a little."


Crushes: None yet.


Orientation: Straight


Theme Song: 










Other: nothing right now.


Moves: "Let's see, I know Hone Claws, Detect, Night Slash, and Psycho Cut."

 

[Runesage]

The Essentials:


Name: "Hi! My name is Miles."


Age: "I'm 16 years old."


Gender: "I am a guy."


Species: "I'm a Dewott, obviously."


Faction: "I'm not part of any faction. I'm just a normal Pokemon! I'm a wanderer, maybe thinking about becoming an explorer."


Alignment: "I try to do good things whenever I can, but if a law is in my way, I might... work around it." (Neutral Good)


Fatal Flaw: "My biggest problem is I can't stand by while others are getting hurt. It get's me in trouble a lot if I see anything bad happening to another. It's gotten me in trouble with the law a time or two, and I've definitely made some enemies."


Saving Grace: "I think the thing that allows me to progress the most is my adaptability. I'm really good at adjusting to life's difficulties.It lets me move past failures, but it also comes with some better ideas on how to beat the system, so to speak. My plans are always flexible."








Credit for arts goes to DeewwyDart this time. Go check him out.


Fighting style: "Each Dewott has their own fighting style, did you know that? Mine involves chaining attacks and forms together. It's not in a set order though, I could switch at any time. The attacks that I know are Swords Dance, Night Slash, Razor Shell, and Double Team. The Double Team is really the key to my strategy. It lets me have even more opportunities to adapt to the circumstances."


Personality and/or Writing example: Miles wandered along down the road to Treasure Town. He hadn't stopped by for a while, so he thought he'd swing by and see if anything had changed from the last time he was there. Were there new apprentices at the guild, a famous exploration team, or just normal Treasure Town? He planned on heading for the Marowak Dojo after stopping by at the guild. He'd considered applying for membership multiple times, but he never fully committed. Exploration teams were good, but he felt he could do just as much without all the brutal training.


Suddenly a little movement caught his eye. A servant of either Darkrai or Yveltal was skulking near the entrance to Spinda's Cafe. Hidden by brush, many of the patrons entering and leaving didn't notice. However, as one of the patrons left, the shadowy figure followed. It looked like a follower of Xerneas, a Sawsbuck and it was walking away from the cafe, alone. Miles followed from a distance, keeping careful watch on the pair, and debating whether or not to go for help.


All at once, the Servant, probably of Yveltal sprang through his covering and grabbed the Follower. The follower screamed in pain and buckled to his knees. Definitely Yveltal then. Miles didn't hesitate. He sprang forward, Scalchops spinning as he used Sword's Dance. The servant looked up too late as Miles struck a sweeping blow with Razor Shell as he flew past. Landing on the opposite side, he spun to face the Servant, seeing it was a Zangoose. The Servant smirked. "Was that meant to tickle? You know I can just drain the life from this pathetic healer, right?" As he spoke, his wounds slowly began to heal, and the Follower screamed again.


"The problem with you holding on to him is you can only defend yourself with one hand." Miles said. Images began sprouting off of him as he used Double Team. "Let's see you try to defend from every direction with that limitation." He said, and the images sprang forward again. The Servant spun around the Follower, desperately trying to defend himself while still holding on, but to no avail. Miles's blades kept hitting their mark, and the Servant still hadn't landed a single hit. Finally, growling, the Servant dropped the Sawsbuck, which collapsed to the ground, breath heaving. Miles swept in between the two and knocked the Servant back with a combo-ed Razor Shell and Night Slash. The Follower staggered to his feet, and Miles quickly asked, "Are you OK?"


"I'm fine, but that blasted servant-" Suddenly the followers eyes widened, and Miles felt a hand clamp on his shoulder. Excruciating pain tore through him, and it took all of Miles's self control to keep from screaming


"Not so confident now, are you?" The servant snickered. "I'm going to enjoy draining you dry."


Miles was unable to answer because of the pain. It felt like his entire body was being burned at once. A low groan escaped his mouth. He managed to look at the Follower, who was still struggling to rise. At least he'd be all right. The Follower caught his eye, and shook his head. Guess he wasn't able to heal like this, Miles thought. Miles thought hard about how he could turn this one around. He could barely move because of the pain, and it was beginning to make him feel light headed. It seemed like his energy was depleting fast. Miles got an idea. He waited as the Servant laughed over his near motionless form. "Had enough yet?" The servant asked, mockingly. Just a little longer, Miles thought. "How are you going to defend yourself like this?"


Now. A torrent of energy flowed into his body, and Miles spun around, using a high powered Razor shell. The Servant staggered back, cursing. "How did you-"


Miles didn't give him a chance to continue that thought. Using Double Team again, and then another Swords Dance. Miles began what he liked to call the Dance of Blades. Torrent boosted Razor Shells came at the Servant from all sides at once, and the Servant had no chance to counterattack. "Yvetal curse you!" The Servant shouted as he fled. Miles stopped himself from following and muttered, "That's how I defend myself." He then turned back towards the Follower. The least he could do is make sure it got into town safely after all this trouble.


History: "I grew up in Treasure Town, but my family originally came from Post Town. I grew up like most Oshawotts, practicing my Scalchop skills, and training to become strong. Since evolving, I decided to travel honing my strength. Over the course of my travels, my family was attacked by a servant of Darkrai, and placed in a nightmare. We lived on the outskirts of town, so no one thought it weird when they first disappeared. Eventually they were found and brought to a follower of Cresselia, but for some it was too late. My younger brother and older sister ended up dying because of the Nightmare, and my younger sister has had to stay with the Follower permanently because the nightmares never truly left her. I decided to head out to Zodiac City to find out more about who could have been the one to attack my family."


The Extra:


Likes: "I like training with my scalchops, helping people and traveling. Meeting new people is fun too."


Dislikes: "I don't like Servants of Darkrai. I don't like to waste time, and I don't like seeing people get hurt." (Once he learns of the existence of Renegades, he'll be fine with them, but until then, he hates all servants of Darkrai.


Talents: "I'm a rather talented fighter, and I am also good at quickly making decisions. I'm a pretty good guard, I have been hired before. That's pretty much it for now."


Hobbies: "I don't have much time for hobbies, but when I do get a spare moment, I'm usually training. Occasionally I'll read, but that's rare."


Fears: "I fear not being strong enough. I fear not being able to help. I fear facing a situation where I find i don't want to help. And I fear being alone."


Crushes: "Um... None yet..." -blushes slightly- (Open, probably will happen sometime quickly.)


Orientation: Straight.


Theme Song: Still finding one.

@Runesage Aneririn is cool as always. The Dewott's new, though. I definitely see him and Ryan butting heads at some point.


EDIT: Now I remember the Dewott! It'd completely slipped my mind, but rereading the history, it clicked! 

 

[Sinensis]

Name: Chase


Age: 17


Gender: Male


Species: Vaporeon


Faction: Renegade. used to be a Follower of Kyogre.


Alignment: A kind character, always wanting to help those in need but not before himself unless he knows them. (Neutral - Neutral Good)


Ability: Water absorb. 


Fatal Flaw: Whenever he becomes friends with someone he usually puts them before him in a lot of circumstances. He's pretty shy until he knows who he's talking to. Tries hard (to the point of trying to talk down someone while they attack him) to not fight.


Saving Grace: Chase is very loyal to his friends and is willing to help anybody in need, even if his shyness gets in the way of it.


Appearance:

Moves: Iron Tail, Aqua Ring, Hydro Pump, Dig & Rain Dance


Fighting style: Chase's fighting style is very defensive, preferring to get an accurate hit in and back out of range rather than head- on. He uses ranged attacks as much as possible against pokémon who are close- ranged.


Personality: Chase, even though he is shy strives to help others, and once you become friends with him he is loyal and wouldn't dream of betraying them. he is more of a listener than a talker, and normally finds himself accidentially listening in on other's conversations. he hates being rude and normally will let others finish before he decides to take up a point. he hates upsetting people and tries to stay generally neutral with everyone, for fear of making enemies and becoming what he hates most. not afraid to fight, but prefers to try every other option before. Would get along well with a follower of Xerneas or Cresellia, as followers of them share the same ideal as him. Hates unneeded violence and rudeness.


History: Not really known around, since arriving around a month ago has been traveling the towns trying to find somewhere to call home.


Likes: Helping others, making new friends and water.


Dislikes:


Selfish people,


people who hold grudges too easily


being forced to fight.


Talents:


Getting to know people,


sympathising


Hobbies:


Traveling


Foraging


Fears:


Death,


Not being able to return home


being turned against or betrayed by his friends.


Crushes: Hasn't been close enough to someone or around a town long enough to find someone. (Open)


Orientation: Pansexual (no preferences on gender etc)

@TaykillzPretty good character. Though the html code isn't working it seems.

 

[Sinensis]

@Riolux yeah i messed it up by not linking it directly. it should show now, though. haven't been on RPN for like a year now, it's changed alot but i think i still get it. had to do some extra research for moves etc but other than that i think my pokémon knowledge is alright. tried to style the tail like Kyogre's wings, i think it looks a bit off, though...

 

[Riolux]

@Taykillz I see it now. And it looks fine to me.

 

[Riolux]

Alrighty. I think the only two people who have expressed interest and haven't posted characters are @Huey, @Smauggo and @Soulmuse


After that, we can probably start if everyone's ready?

 

[Dredgen]

@Riolux, I'll likely be able to post my character sometime tonight or tomorrow. c:

 

[Riolux]

Awesome! Can't wait to see it!
