Pokémon: Myths of Arkhaios (Discussion & Feedback Thread)

Unlikely. He's blind after all. The one that technically found her was Zephyr the Ponyta.

I was talking to Gamingfan due to him having a Specter Tribe member.

Whoops, sorry. Got a little excited there.

So I tried drawing my character repeatedly for some reason, but I eventually gave up and put him into the legends Arceus character customisation stuff. So here is Alax in case my horrible description didn’t help visualise him

Alright, cardboard convinced me. If this is still accepting, I'd be down to throw a dude in here.

Spoiler: And then there's Zonbi! He's dead.

Name: Zonbi Buredo
Age: 26
Pronouns: He/Him (Usually referred to as an “it”)
Tribe: Alloy Tribe (Formerly) Specter Tribe (Current)
Class: Upper Class
Occupation: Soldier
Physical Appearance: See image. His hair is usually tied up into a manbun
Height (optional): 6 feet
Weight (optional): 150 lbs
Hair (optional): Black
Eyes (optional): Black…although the pupils seem to glow at times
Clothing (optional): Almost always dressed in light armor, purplish in color with black fabrics. He rarely wears a helmet
Identifying Marks (optional): Covered in scars, some recent, some clearly aged
Personality: Zonbi is best described as…well…soulless. He rarely speaks unless spoken to, almost never emotes, and is vague about his past. Zonbi prioritizes the Specter Tribe and its members above all, and does not take well to them being harmed.
Yet on occasion, there are flashes of a deeper personality within. Zonbi’s eyes seem to shimmer with life during spars, and he retains the Alloy Tribe’s strong sense of honor. Those who treat him well are under his protection, those who don’t will be cut down. More tamely, he also has an interest in origami.
Skills:
Zonbi is an incredibly skilled swordsman that’s capable of wielding an aegislash itself as if it was an average weapon

Indomitable: You just can’t keep Zonbi down, short of killing him outright. Even if he is beaten to a bloody pulp, he’ll continue the fight, though…

Street-Smart: Zonbi is stubborn, not stupid. He knows there are fights that cannot be won with brute strength, and isn’t afraid to use more underhanded techniques to turn the tides

Exorcism: An interesting kind. Zonbi himself actually lacks any innate sense of spiritualism. Instead, he relies on his Aegislash to sense evil spirits and follows his lead, banishing them with a strike of its blade.

Playing Possum: Amusingly, Zonbi is skilled at playing dead. Even his heartbeat slows down as he flops to the floor and lies there, completely motionless

Origami: For someone with such rough hands, Zonbi is really good at origami. It’s not really a practical skill, but practicing it gives him a sense of zen
Past: Originally born into the Alloy Tribe, Zonbi was raised to be a warrior alongside his best friend Akai Shatsu and his partner Honedge. Back then, he was bright-eyed and bushy tailed, and showed a lot of promise. So much so that, soon after being promoted to official soldiers, he and Akai were both appointed as personal bodyguards to one of the Alloy Tribe nobles during an excursion.

None of them returned.

All three were presumed dead…until a few months later, Zonbi suddenly reappeared, wielding Akai’s Aegislash, looking like death, and now fiercely loyal to the Specter Tribe. His appearance led people to believe that somehow, the Specter Tribe had reanimated his corpse and indoctrinated the young soldier, turning him into a slave. Zonbi has neither confirmed nor denied these rumors, though mostly because few are brave enough to ask him up front.

Family/Relationships: None


Pokémon:

Species: Aegislash
Nickname: None
Gender: Less
Ability: Stance Change
Nature: Serious
Identifying Marks: Very well polished…yet smells of death
Past: ???
Personality: Chivalrous and brave, Zonbi's Aegislash is the prime example of a knight in shining armor. He's more sociable than his companion, though is equally unafraid to draw itself against those who threaten their allies. Notably, the two don’t seem to share a close bond, treating each other as affiliates rather than friends. Despite this, they work well together, and there’s a clear sense of trust between them.

not going to lie, Kinda looks like a demon slayer character. At least in appearance

So... if anyone read my latest post and is confused about "the gaze" and why it only appeared now, basically I forgot about it when in char create. It's kind of useless during an emergency that requires swiftness but it has a bit of lore for my character. it's sort of telepathy but not quite. I described it better in the post. my whole backstory thing of it is that it's a fragmented hereditary psychic ability thing. he's been told his father wasn't originally from the stone clan so he thinks he got it from him. he is probably right. anyways the gaze is useless on things without eyes, even more fragmented than normal on people/mons with eyes but are blind (so the images sent are monochromatic/blurry, that sort of thing) and when he tried using it on himself he had a small seizure and ended up with a migraine that lasted four weeks.

Here’s a quick question, can we die in this. I mean I know people can die in this but are we physically able to harm each other. Slightly concerned if it’s a yes

Well. I would prefer if no one dies or kills another player's character without consent. And the reason would have to make sense. For instance, if a player decides to leave roleplay, but their character is in a high-stakes situation, technically they could request that said character gets bumped off.

I'd still prefer to have a character phased out of the roleplay rather than killed. Violence should be reserved for when it will have the most impact. This is a POKEMON ROLEPLAY, after all, not a slasher thriller.
