- Name: Mercury
- Experiment Number: 80
- Sex: Male
- Age: 23
- Ethnicity: Galarian-Sinnoh Mix
- Appearance: 5'9 in height, pale skin, silvery short hair, squarish face with a rounded chin, teal eyes. Wears a blued leather jacket, a red sweater, black jeans, black boots. Missing right arm elbow down.
- Organization Ties: Former Experiment from the School
- Region of Origin: Sinnoh
- Bio: Mercury was part of the lost Phantom Class from The School, an experiment in the manifestation of constructs and illusions of obscuric powers and how real they could be manifested. Mercury's powers manifested as sort of an "SFX" style form of illusions, where he could not manifest anything truly solid, but the effects of his illusions were felt.
An illusion of fire could give off heat, illusionary swords could in effect cut. However the issues became apparent as his illusions A) were never very big and B) limited to him only. Said illusionary sword was effectively useless without medium tools, fire could never be generated very far from him, and due to the growing distaste for a class that could be used against the Psychics of the school, Mercury had to escape. He fought his way out one fateful evening and lost his right arm in the process, sacrificing it to escape.
In the recent years he's resurfaced having started up a paranormal investigation business, feeling confident after some success at handling a few nosey intruders during the Skybreak. Mercury has set himself up a mobile business and looks to get more involved in the weirdness.
- Powers: Obscuric - Dark Typing
- Illusionary Effects - Mercury's main skill is the ability to manifest pyrotechnics or special effects, these effects aren't in any way truly physical but can manifest specific effects based on what they are. Illusionary Fire for instance would still be hot and could still leave a burn, but actually causing something to catch further flame is unlikely.
- Effect Rules - Mercury has found that if he creates an illusion it has to follow specific rules, much like writing a consistent story, the more rules it follows, the stronger it is, this is also why said illusions cannot leave a small circle around him. The further they are, the less control he has, the less rules they follow before they dissipate.
- Species: Bisharp - Shiny
- Nickname: Vergil
- Gender: Male
- Ability: Inner Focus
- Bio/Personaltiy: One of a set of twins Mercury caught, Vergil is best described as the Comically serious, desiring only power for himself. Introspective, well read, and soft spoken, he puts on an air of being smarter than he is, the truth is he's actually less responsible than he acts and has a tendency to leave his messes and problems unresolved.
- Species: Bisharp
- Nickname: Dante
- Gender: Male
- Ability: Defiant
- Bio/Personaltiy: One of a set of twins Mercury caught, Dante is a laid back individual who refuses to back down from a fight, living in the moment and referring to a lot of his fights as "parties". Extroverted but surprisingly responsible, a seasoned chef of all things and the one looking out to keep Mercury from pushing himself too far... also has an intense love of pizza and will try to get his hands on some whenever he can.
Perhaps its off topic but: hey yall. Was feeling nostalgic/melancholy so I wanted to say - still alive out there in the world. Idly considering a comeback.

Last year, a group of heroes destroyed the pulsing heart of a Glitch in the darkest of dungeons beneath the Grant Estate and freed the Hamlet upon that estate from the evil that plagued it ever since the ancestor opened the gateway so many years ago. But now, a new evil has taken up residence in those accursed lands.
Following the trail of a psionic screech of distress, one protagonist will find the village under threat from bandits, monsters and a familiar face who seems to have turned evil...
Return to the Hamlet of Horrors: Biohazard
Yep, I've spent a length of time adapting recent horror game Resident Evil 8 and after getting a lot of advice from Silence on how to improve the idea it's almost ready to get written out as a nice spagposted series of posts for a self-contained side story. The only thing we're missing is a character to be the protagonist.
So yeah, I'm currently looking for a singular character to fill the role of hero in the plot. Preferably, I would like a character that is capable of stealth, can take a few personal hits, is willing to fight when necessary whether personally or with their Pokemon team and who has a decent in-character understanding of who both Silas Grant and Gale Knight are.
We only need one character, but having potential options for a best-fit would be nice. Of course whoever we pick will be let in on the planning and writing so please note that it'll involve a lot of spoilers for both the plot and the source material.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Estateplot
As much trepidation as I feel about volunteering I do geniunely think that either of my P Cs - Colton or Kamui - would be well-suited for this subplot:
Capable of stealth: hiding in shadows/acquired scouting skill
Personal knowledge: Phantom Thieves / Aurabolts
Combat prowess: Very Long List

[Insert Unoriginal Stinger Here]So do you know what's even more Herbcore than making new characters despite having fifty old ones he should be doing more with? Putting off actually making those characters for months so that by the time I do the trend's passed! Anyway, have two more School-related characters to add to the pile.
Templar
- Name: Ferrum the Engineer
- Age: early 20s (roughly)
- Gender: Male
- Ethnicity: White
- Appearance: Ferrum is a handsome young man of modest height with long, dirty-blonde hair and purple eyes hidden behind a pair of rounded sunglasses. He wears a brown trenchcoat and a stetson hat, and carries an enormous metal warhammer that by rights he shouldn't be able to lift.
- Biography: Ferrum takes his name from the unique application of his psychic powers - on top of the usual suite of abilities, he is a ferrokinetic, allowing him to use magnetic fields to manipulate metal objects. As might be expected, he is a Steel-type specialist, using his powers to puppeteer his Pokemon in battle whilst hefting his hammer and flinging metal projectiles. He is convinced that he is the School's most powerful asset, and is braggadocious, exuberant and theatrical as a result.
Ferrum's Team
- Steelix: Sturdy, male.
- Metagross: Clear Body, neuter.
- Bronzong: Heatproof, female-identified.
- Bisharp: Defiant, male.
- Corviknight: Pressure, male.
- Aggron: Sturdy, male.
Freshman Schoolkid
- Name: Number 4, aka Beryllium or "Bela"
- Age: ~14
- Gender: Female
- Ethnicity: Native Alolan
- Appearance: It's hard to say exactly what Bela looks like, given that she's almost never seen without her armour. She wears a purple breastplate that leaves her thin, dark arms exposed, and a pair of heavy gauntlets that she uses as a medium for her psychic blades. Her face is concealed by a helmet with no visible eyeholes, marked with a number of distinctive circular patterns.
- Biography: As it turns out, the School's experiments into Aura Drain weren't a total dead end. Bela is the product of those experiments - a psychic who uses Aura Drain to extract vitality, memories and other vital information from the School's enemies. Like many other Schoolkids, Bela herself is a stern, serious young girl who rarely speaks unless spoken to.
Bela's Team
- Gallade: Steadfast, male.
- Hatterene: Healer, female.
- Reuniclus: Magic Guard, female.
- Sigilyph: Magic Guard, neuter.
- Hypno: Insomnia, male.
- Mr. Rime: Tangled Feet, male.

A New Schoolkid (As if three weren't enough)
Designation: #118 - Oganesson
Nickname: Oggy, Gyozo
Age: Looks 14
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: [Hungarian], [Scandinavian], White Kalosian
Appearance: A creepy-looking goth pretty boy with shiny, platinum blond hair. He's also kinda scrawny. Odd resemblance to a certain [Hungarian]-[Scandinavian] vampire roaming around are a bit too uncanny. Also has the same dress and hair sense as what passes as the live action version of Artemis Foul.
Organization Ties: The School - Freshman Class
Region of origin: Orre
Backstory:
About two years ago, thieves stole an artifact from the medieval collection of the Unovan Museum of Natural History. It was a jewel-encrusted gilded enamel box recovered from the lady's chambers of a Kalosian castle. Thanks to timely intervention from a certain Unovan in tights, the box itself was recovered. However, it had already been emptied. Its sole contents were a braided lock of hair that belonged to both a woman and a man, possibly the owner and their lover.
The hair clippings were stolen by agents working in the school's payroll. The resulting child from this DNA mix was the 118th in the Freshman batch, the latest of the schoolchildren.
Researchers noticed that his illusion powers were quite strong. The child could, with the right focus and concentration, create immersive illusions where everything felt real. So real, in fact, that he could use it to cause very real pain. Thus he was usually paired with another child, designated as Hydrogen or Freshman #1, who could nullify his powers. However, a collapse of the facility he was in led to Hydrogen escaping. She couldn't be replicated due to internal sabotage committed by someone on the inside.
Personality:
Despite the School's best efforts, Oggy developed a rather bloated ego for a kid his age, gesticulating in a manner more similar to a pompous nobleman from the Middle Ages. He's also quite clever and inquisitive, and he uses tried and true distraction methods to learn about himself and the school. He has chosen a name for himself based on the culture that belonged to one of his genetic donors.
Deep down, there used to be a sweet kid underneath. But that's been consumed by a cunning if overly hammy megalomaniac out for revenge. After all, what are his captors but a miserable pile of secrets?
Species: Midnight Form Lycanroc (starter)

So, New Stormchaser abilities as I see them:
What The Heck Does That "Protection" Garbage Mean Anyway?
- The wicked and those with ill-intent towards the J-Team and/or those they're trying to protect inside it will find it harder if not outright impossible to get inside. (Folks with more positive to neutral intentions might still manage to get in, but certain areas wouldn't appear to them until they're perceived as more trusted)
- Even if they do somehow manage to get inside, the corridors will just get longer and longer, but as an act of mercy the exit always isn't too far away. Say they somehow have a map of the Stormchaser's most vital areas? It simply won't appear to them. (It is possible for it to just straight up trap people inside based on the wishes of its residents)
- You still manage to get past those defenses and enter combat with the J-Teamers inside? It'll go extra terribly because the victory and luck boons mean that the J-Team is karmically backed whenever someone tries to invade their space.
- You coerce your way in? The Stormchaser will do everything in its power to make things very miserable for you, assuming again, you manage to get in in the first place. Apart from stuff like giving you very uncomfortable chairs to sit on, those feelings of home will be more a feeling of general unease.
- Appeals to the better nature of villains, if they have any, will work better here due to said karmic backing.
No Place Like Home
- J-Teamers will just noticeably feel more at home in the Stormchaser and find it easier to get around.
- It doesn't make food unfortunately, but if you order takeout it'll just appear at your door, and growing food works better than it did before.

♪Show me the wisdom of the world... Tell me the secrets of the heart... and the sweet~ mysteries~ of love~...A new Schoolkid is joining the fray...
Designation: Number 8- Oxygen
Name: Oliver Rivers
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: White, Galarian
Appearance: Light, scruffy brown hair; purple eyes that he can change to look blue. He is around 5 feet in height, and is usually seen wearing a red T-shirt with an image of a sun and clouds on it, as well as a pair of yellow shorts.
Organization Ties: The School, Freshman Class, Schoolkid (Former, escaped)
Region of origin: Galar
Backstory: Oxygen- alias Oliver Rivers- was created in Galar for the School's Freshman class. Not long after his creation, he realized that he could manipulate the weather and perform aerokinesis, as well as hydrokinesis (read: waterbending). Soon afterwards, he was brainwashed by the Templars into believing that the School was going to be just that— a regular, normal school— and couldn't wait to learn more about how to manipulate weather and perform cool psychic abilities. He soon discovered, however, the School's true- and far more nefarious- intentions. Horrified, he desperately desired to escape— only to have the members of the School force him into submission despite his protests. As such, Oliver became readily fearful of the School, and gained a great fear of disappointing them. Despite this, however, he still hoped that the members of the School would change their ways soon enough. Eventually, he one day was approached by a bold Reuniclus with a love of adventure, who encouraged Oliver to escape from the School and catch Pokemon, learn Psychic powers, battle, and do things that the School normally would not encourage. While initially hesitant, Oliver eventually agreed, and caught the Reuniclus, which he named Mito. After his escape, he demonstrated his weather manipulation abilities to his new friend, which caught the attention of another Pokemon— a Castform, who Oliver then caught and named Teru. He is currently wearing a new outfit to protect his identity— just in case...
Personality: For the most part, Oliver is a sweet, optimistic, and somewhat naive kid with a desire to make new friends and explore the world. However, he also has a massive fear of the School, to the point where he is sometimes hesitant to try new things out of fear that the School is watching him. This especially applies to things that the School would normally restrict. He especially has a fear of the Templars, and is for the most part unable to stand up for himself to anyone, due to his crippling fear of the School.
Abilities: Weather manipulation; aerokinesis; hydrokinesis; telepathy; telekinesis
Hasslemon handle: None— he's too wary to get one
Oliver's Pokemon
Mito
Species: Reuniclus
Nickname: Mito
Gender: Male
Ability: Overcoat
Nature: Rash
Personality: Mito is Oliver's first friend, and in direct contrast to Oliver, who is optimistic but fearful and overly cautious, Mito is just as optimistic, but adventurous and confident. He likes to explore and travel to new places, and while he is prone to not thinking things through and making stupid mistakes and rash decisions, he loves Oliver and encourages him to try new things and stand up for himself. He enjoys learning new things about the world around him, and is very intelligent.
Moveset: Psyshock, Psybeam, Light Screen, Reflect, Hammer Arm, Psychic
Hasslemon handle: cellularExploration (CE)
Teru
Species: Castform
Nickname: Teru
Gender: Male
Ability: Forecast
Nature: Relaxed
Personality: Teru is a very carefree and easygoing Pokemon, who can usually be found relaxing in trees and singing songs to himself. He much prefers to not stress about most things, and doesn't really get panicked that often— again, in comparison to Oliver.
Moveset: Weather Ball, Headbutt, Sunny Day, Hail, Rain Dance, Scald, Flamethrower, Ice Beam
Hasslemon handle: weatherBall (WB)

Hi, I’m oghond, and I’m a Rushaholic. Sorry if I annoy you unintentionally. 😅The Brain Behind The Fire, Ice, Lightning School-Trio
Name: Dr. Alexis "Azala" Forsythe
Age: 26
Gender: Non-Binary (they/them)
Ethnicity: White, [Irish]/Unovan
Appearance: An androgynous figure standing at a height of 5'6". They have green eyes. They wear a lab coat over their clothes, which consist of a black polo shirt and pants. They have brown hair with a streak of white down the middle of it. However, sometimes they put their shirt on backwards, and one of their shoes is black while the other is brown. Dr. Azala desperately hopes that no one notices. In general, their appearance is that of a raffish mad scientist type who loves their job, but feel like their work might be the death of them.
Organization Ties: The School, Scientist
Region of origin: Unova, Castelia City
Backstory: Alexis Forsythe has had an interest in genetics since they were a child. Having majored in biology and genetics in college after an extensive academic leave to pursue the League in their home region of Unova at around age 17, Alexis got her doctorate in genetics at age 22. Taking on the nickname "Dr. Azala", named after a reptilian video game character, they decided to start work for The School and create... life and change the world for the better (whatever that entails...)
Dr. Azala's Pokémon
1) Species: Serperior (Starter)
Nickname: Pamela
Gender: ♀
Ability: Overgrow
Personality/Bio: Chosen by Alexis when they started their journey, Pamela is their greatest friend and most trusted of Pokémon. Pamela is a skilled battler and is extremely loyal to Dr. Azala, especially when it came to her trainer getting a job with The School. She cares for Dr. Azala as much as Dr. Azala cares for her, and will recommend that the scientist take breaks so they don't burn themselves out.
Moves: Leaf Tornado, Leer, Vine Whip, Coil, Wring Out, Leaf Storm, Frenzy Plant (Tutor), Solar Beam (TM), Aerial Ace (TM), Return (TM), Dragon Tail (TM)
2) Species: Machamp
Nickname: Nizbel
Gender: ♂
Ability: No Guard
Personality/Bio: Nizbel was one of the Pokémon who accompanied Alexis during her journey through Unova. They met in Pinwheel Forest where the latter was training with a group of other Fighting types. Alexis promised the Machop a grand adventure where his strength would do the most good, and they tried their darnedest to live up to that promise. Since then, Nizbel has grown into a powerful Machamp. In terms of his personality, Nizbel is rather eager to please. He is also not exactly all there. It would be unwise, however, to call Nizbel "Dumb muscle", as it would infuriate Dr. Azala within seconds. Nizbel wears a triceratops bike helmet to try and make himself look more like his namesake. When Nizbel talks, for some reason, he sounds like he has an [Australian] accent.
Moves: Strength (HM), Focus Energy, Karate Chop, Thunder Punch (TM), Ice Punch (TM), Fire Punch (TM), Cross Chop, Revenge
3) Species: Tauros
Nickname: Beefton
Gender: ♂
Ability: Anger Point
Personality/Bio: On Alexis' visit to the Floccesy Ranch, a Tauros ended up charging at them. After a few minutes of being chased around, Alexis asked the Tauros if he would like to join them, promising to give the Wild Bull Pokémon as many chances to let off steam as he needs. The Tauros took up Dr. Azala's offer and became known as Beefton, though Dr. Azala didn't quite know why they picked such a silly nickname in the first place. In terms of Beefton's character, he is rather intelligent and extremely determined. Whatever Dr. Azala needs to do for their work, if there's something they don't understand, Beefton can step in and lend a helping hoof.
Moves: Double Edge, Assurance, Zen Headbutt, Megahorn (TM), Blizzard (TM), Iron Tail (TM), Stomping Tantrum (TM), Fissure (Gen 1 TM), Rage
4) Species: Tyranitar
Nickname: Clover
Gender: ♂
Ability: Sand Stream
Personality/Bio: Clover and Alexis first met on Route 15 when they heard about a bizarrely localized sandstorm on said route. In the center of the sandstorm, Alexis found a timid Tyranitar, trying not to cause too much damage to the area surrounding him. Dr. Alexis extended their hand to the Tyranitar and asked them if they would like to join them on their adventure. The Tyranitar agreed and after a battle with Pamela, Clover was caught by Dr. Azala. Clover tries his best to be careful with his surroundings so he doesn't end up accidentally destroying everything. In battle, he is an apologetic attacker and he makes certain not to use Hyper Beam or Giga Impact unless it is absolutely necessary.
Moves: Stone Edge, Iron Defense, Ice Fang, Thunder Fang, Fire Fang, Flamethrower (TM), Rest (TM), Flamethrower (TM), Fire Blast (TM), Hyper Beam, Giga Impact
5) Species: Gothitelle
Nickname: Hypnota
Gender: ♀
Ability: Frisk
Personality/Bio: Alexis first met Hypnota as a Gothorita on Route 9 in the Unova region, and the two battled. Alexis succeeded in catching the Gothorita and the two became good friends. Alexis promised the Gothorita that she'd have many friends and that she wouldn't need to use her hypnosis unless she wanted to in or out of battle. Upon joining The School, Dr. Azala looked to Hypnota for advice and therapy, and Hypnota would look after Dr. Azala and the Schoolkids they created. Hypnota, as a Pokémon, is a charming and sweet individual who knows how to listen and uses what she can to help others. She often acts as a lab assistant to Dr. Azala.
Moves: Psybeam, Psyshock, Psychic, Hypnosis, Future Sight, Charm, Shadow Ball (TM), Thunderbolt (TM), Calm Mind (TM), Signal Beam (Tutor), Safeguard
6) Species: Roserade
Nickname: Luci
Gender: ♀
Ability: Natural Cure
Personality/Bio: After a relaxing visit to the Lostlorn Forest, Alexis met a Budew who took a liking to them and the two became good friends. When Alexis asked the Budew if she wanted to join them, the Budew happily accepted and was given the nickname "Luci". During their travels, Luci evolved into a Roselia and then, upon finding a Shiny Stone, a Roserade. Luci's speed and grace helped Dr. Azala out of many tight spots during their journey, and when Alexis decided to take on a job with The School, Luci was there to support them. Luci can be both sweet and snarky, with a wit as sharp as her thorns. She is also rather laid-back and will only fight to protect Dr. Azala.
Moves: Magical Leaf, Poison Sting, Petal Blizzard, Petal Dance, Sunny Day (TM), Solar Beam (TM), Pin Missile (TM), Power Whip (TM), Attract (TM), Swords Dance (TM) Weather Ball (TM)
♪Show me the wisdom of the world... Tell me the secrets of the heart... and the sweet~ mysteries~ of love~...Name: Silicon
Age: Physically 11
Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Ambiguous
Appearance: Kind of skinny for her age. Her most notable feature is her long, wavy black hair that reaches down to her hips, and thick bangs that she uses to hide her eyes. Said eyes are bright purple and unusually piercing, though whether that's due to her abilities or just luck of the genetic draw is unclear.
Bio: Silicon was created with the question, "how can we recapture lost assets with as little fuss as possible?" in mind. There were several answers, but one scientist's solution later became Silicon. Her abilities are centered around disabling her fellow schoolkids' abilities and stopping them long enough for her 'partner' to sweep in and either bring them back to the School or liquidate them on the spot. Anyone who looks into her eyes is subject to temporary paralysis or nullification of their abilities.
And Silicon hates it. She hates her abilities, she hates working for the School, and most of all she hates herself for not being brave enough to run or save the other kids she's assigned to hunt down. This hatred metabolizes itself into extreme timidity, and she believes that for all she's already done she deserves to have to stay with the School.
Team
- Sandy (Silicobra)
- Female, ability Shed Skin. Originally caught by Allegros as part of a prank, Silicon got attached to her and it would've been more trouble than it was worth to separate them.
- Gala (Galarian Mr. Mime)
- Female, ability Technician. School provided. Mostly just there to ensure Silicon doesn't die on assignments.
Name: Allegros the Swift
Age: Appears to be around his late 20s.
Gender: Male
Ethnicity: Ambiguous
Appearance: Short and wiry. Has a somewhat androgynous looking face, pale skin, and mid length reddish brown hair that's shaved on one side. He generally prefers black clothing and can almost always be found wearing a black sleeveless duster.
Bio: Allegros is, in a few words, kind of an asshole. He revels in his power and treats belittling Silicon like a fun hobby. Something about her just.. Irritates him for reasons he can't describe. She does her job, but she's always such a whiner about it. Can't she just kill her emotions and become numb to the pain like the rest of them? Allegros was so named due to his talent for teleportation. He's extremely proficient with the ability, utilizing it in conjunction with his collection of knives to disorient his targets. He's not very good with anything else, though, and if you bring that up to him he'll react quite poorly.

Phantom Student 07 - Nitrogen
Name Designation: Nitrogen
Age: Vaguely 27ish, physically
Pronouns: She/her
Ethnicity: School-Standardized Genetic Slurry, but prominently Hoennese Draconid
Organizational Ties: The School — Phantom Class
Appearance: Olive-skinned, long straight dark brown hair generally kept in a messy ponytail, purple eyes. Wears baggy clothes in gold and dark gray, always has a mildly stressed look on her face
Bio: A decade and a half ago, Nitrogen thought she'd escaped the School. When threatened with liquidation, she managed to escape not by tricking her way out, not by slipping into the shadows, but through desperately creative uses of Ominous Winds to choke out the Templars sent to destroy her. Unfortunately, as far as Phantom Class breakouts go, this was by far one of the least subtle, and she had a target on her back everywhere she went.
She couldn't run forever. And the next time she encountered the School, they were far more prepared to counter her abilities.
But her story does not end there. In desperation, she offered her services to the School willingly, pledging to put her command over the winds to their purposes as necessary as long as they kept her alive. So, as one of the few last remnants of her class, she now hunts alongside the Templars to finish snuffing out those who still resist their class's final fate.
Nitrogen's Pokemon
Species: Noivern
Name: Grieve
Pronouns: He/him
Bio: Grieve has no love for the School, and everyone knows it. Were it his choice, every Templar would be mincemeat the moment they laid eyes on him. But Nitrogen is desperate to keep her track record spotless, because all it takes is one single slip-up for his partner to be put on the chopping block. So, for all his draconic bluster, he begrudgingly keeps his teeth to himself.

- Age: Late 20s/Early 30s
- Pronouns: He/Him

- Organizational Ties: The School - Templars
- Appearance: A angular face with a round chin, shaved sides of head with slicked black(?) hair, pale skin and purple eyes, a ever present sneer made smug grin on his face. Slender frame with a surprising bit of muscle on it. Tends to wear light clothing, stuff like jumpsuits and work outfits.
- Bio: Deus is a over confident narcissist, created by the School to act as an enforcer and work on "Cleanup" duty. Deus acts as if each time he hunts down an escapee or a subject ready for "expulsion" is a game, preferring to prolong the encounter and even act as if it is a contest of style. Deus himself prefers showy displays of power, something he shares with his sister, after all he has the power, why not show it off? His powerset is Technopathy, if he has constructed a machine and given it a control node he can command it via his psychic powers, simply touching a machine isn't enough, though he has quite a few toys at his disposal thanks to these powers.

Terra however prefers not to get her hands too dirty and so uses her powers to construct minions to do the dirty work for her, she's rather skilled at this and calls them "dolls". Terra's powers are chloro-kinesis, specifically over vines, she gets a lot of use out of these and her 'dolls' come in various sizes and shapes due to some creative use of body constructing from these vines.

An Idea
So, in the past we've tended to have many instances of The Therapist Character™ for our (N)PC's various issues, but I've had an idea that's similar but a little different. (And less dependent on the energies of a single player)
I haven't figured out a name, but this therapy group specializes in dealing with people that have gone through weird shit, both in one on one and group therapy sessions.
All sorts of people end up there; Weremons, Minds of Crystal with AU-related PTSD (Or other stuff), people shunted between realities during the PMD-R Shard crisis of 2012 and the Entralink Arc Second Skybreak of 2017-2019, those still haunted from Sinnoh being stuck in Twilight, School escapees, folks who've run afoul of the major Glitches, some Aura Vampires trying to stay on the straight and narrow, you name it and it's probably represented there.
They may have a de facto leadership system similar to the J-Team, but otherwise I feel the organization is pretty flat hierarchy-wise past someone who keeps things orderly.
They've been around for a while, but keep enough of a low profile that people mainly learn about them through word of mouth or coming across the right person at the right time.
This is not meant to replace said previous characters, but serve as more of a supplement.

Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.Templar
- Name: Copycat the Shadow
- Age: Unknown, possibly late teens.
- Gender: Male coded
- Ethnicity: Unknown, but it's noted that he speaks with a [Grecian] accent
- Appearance: He's constantly wearing his combat gear, which includes black and blue body armour with orange accents, a white hood and a skull-shaped facemask with a visor. Oddly he wears a pair of cat ears that poke out of holes cut in his hood. The mask can open its jaw to allow him to eat or mime talking. Strapped to his back is an Aura Vibro blade that responds to aura being pumped into it, increasing cutting power. His gloves feature retractable Vibro claws that also respond to aura. Part of his kit includes aura sensitive netting and other less-than-lethal implements. Since he never takes it off his true appearance is unknown.
- Biography: Copycat is not his real name, but it does describe his unique powerset. The result of an experiment to create the 'ultimate Schookid sparring partner' who could replicate the fighting styles and Auric powers of other Schoolkids in order to prepare them for real world combat situations. His template is a melting pot of various other templates to give him the range to mimic others on the Aura Spectrum, allowing him to achieve effects similar to Mimic, Copycat or Mirror Move. Unfortunately the imitations he creates are not as potent as the real thing, about 50-75% of what more specialized Aurics can produce. Martial Arts maneuvers, fighting styles, and even vocal patterns can be copied flawlessly due to his photographic memory and reflexes. He works for the School as a Templar who delights in hunting down escaped Schoolkids and oversees some of their training. He works alongside his Mimicry mons to turn foes strategies against them.
- Personality: Copycat is an attack dog (attack cat?) through and through. He follows orders without question and is loyal to the School and his colleagues. However, he has some odd personality quirks. He refuses to sit right in a chair, instead perching on it catlike. He's never seen outside of his gear and likes climbing onto couches and walls. Despite being what is essentially a mercenary he is incredibly amicable and likes to make casual conversation with anyone, even his quarry.
Copycat's Team
- Pats the Delcatty (Female): Vain, haughty and lazy.
- Clacks the Mr. Rime (Male): Attention seeker, loves dancing.
- Fake the Sudowoodo (Male): Always panicking.

GIVE ME YOUR FACEhelp I keep coming up with new character ideas
Name: Florence Cook
Age: 18
Gender: genderfluid
Appearance:
Florence is quite short. Their skin is the same colour as a Whimsicott and they have bright orange eyes. They have long poofy off white “hair” made of cotton that goes down to their waist. They have green swirly things on either side of their face.
Their standard outfit is a t-shirt underneath a red button up shirt. They wear brown shorts, trainers and dark socks.
As a regular human their skin is slightly paler, their eyes are dark brown and so is their hair. Their hair is also straight and goes slightly below their chin.
Organizational ties: none
Region of origin: Alola, but moved to Unova at a young age
Bio: Florence was broke. They needed cash, and fast. So, when they found a poster on a job offers board in the local poke mart it seemed like a dream come true. Someone was offering a large sum of money to anyone willing to try out their untested, potentially dangerous science device. So of course they took the offer.
The offer turned out to have come from a friendly, if somewhat scatterbrained were-Metagross. She’d been attempting to create human-pokemon hybrids by fusing a person with their pokeform, creating something resembling the result of someone using a borked armband, but more permanent. The trial was a success and Florence was now part human, part Cottonee. Using a pokemon -> human band they could assume their human form again, and using a human -> pokemon band they could turn into a full pokemon. The scientist was even able to get a hold of a sun stone for her to evolve.
Florence and the scientist became good friends. However, one day disaster struck. One volunteer being tested partially turned into a Mimikyu. The scientist saw what was under a Mimikyu’s disguise and promptly died.
With the scientist dead, the group of volunteers went their separate ways. Florence returned to travelling wherever the wind took them, now assisted by the fact they could quite literally go wherever the wind took them and they could photosynthesize for food in a pinch. One day they were travelling on a gust of wind when they were unexpectedly blown across time through a hole in the sky and landed in the present day. It took a while for them to realize anything had changed. Unfortunately they only had their human -> pokemon band on them when they went through, so they could only disguise themself as a Whimsicott. But that was enough for them to continue on their quest to make life more interesting.
Florence is a free spirit. They answer to no-one (unless they’re paying and Florence needs money) and go wherever whenever. However, they suffer from constant and seemingly insatiable boredom. They crave excitement, even if it means running right into danger. They’re also a fan of jokes and pranks.
In their half Whimsicott form, they can use most of the moves a Whimsicott could normally use. They can float on the wind and pass through gaps, but it takes more of a gust than it would for a full Pokemon. Being a fairy type, they are also vulnerable to the usual anti fae things like cold iron and salt circles.

Nickname: Loki
Species: Ribombee
Gender: male
Ability: Shield dust
Bio: Loki is Florence’s long time travel partner. They go way back, even from before Florence volunteered for the experiment. Loki is rather curious, and loves to learn new things. They share a close bond with Florence, and they fly together most of the time. He’s also the one responsible for reviving Florence whenever they fall out of the sky. It happens more often than they’d like to admit.

Name: Axis Hunter
Age: 21
Gender: Non-binary (they/them pronouns)
Sexuality: Ace
Ethnicity: White, Unovan
Region of origin: Unova, specifically Castelia City
Appearance: Fairly androgynous, with medium-length blond hair and brown eyes; very often seen wearing a yellow shirt with the green Homestuck spirograph and a parthenon in the center of it, along with blue jeans and a pair of white shoes
Hasslemon handle: Technically none, as they do not have Hasslemon yet, though regular chat handle is formatted akin to a Hasslemon handle— "hellenicSburbia (HS)" would likely be their handle
Regular chat handle: hellenicSburbia612
Biography: Axis Hunter was born on June 12th, 2000, with absolutely no indication of what [Homestuck] was— as it, of course, did not exist yet. As a matter of fact, despite their name, birthdate, shirt, and— eventually— their chat handle, Homestuck isn't even their main interest— it's everything and anything [Greek]. They (obviously) don't speak Greek, but they have studied up on Ancient [Greek] myths, the zodiac, the constellations, and most of all, the gods. In fact, their love of Greco-Roman... everything was what led to them discovering [Homestuck] in the first place at the height of its heyday, thanks to Act 5 and the existence of the trolls. Of course, the date that [Hivebent] started was also the date of their tenth birthday— making them officially eligible to receive their first Pokemon. However, they decided against it at the time, due to their new desire to read— and finish— the entirety of [Homestuck], as well as continuing to study Ancient Greek mythos. Which they did— along with getting accepted into a prestigious community college at 18 years of age, and learning Monese in their spare time. Two years later, at the age of 20, they graduated top of their class and got an Associate's Degree in Humanities. Their parents, ecstatic by their child's graduation, decided to reward their efforts by allowing them to catch their first Pokemon. This time, Axis accepted— but was also newly inspired by what they had read, and decided to start compiling a team of 12 initial Pokemon related to the twelve Greek Olympians— and, by proxy, to the zodiac signs, albeit only tangentially. They started with Hermes, the god that corresponded to their sign, Gemini, and looked for a fast, fitting, and relatively cute Pokemon— and on a vacation to the Galar region, they found it in the Wild Area in the form of a very fast, eager, and somewhat hasty Ninjask who had previously served as an intern Pokemon for a group of mailmen. They caught the Ninjask, named him Tekkan, and a few days later set off on their Pokemon journey. Axis is now continuing to look for Pokemon while introducing Tekkan to [Homestuck] and Greek mythos, with the possibility of them one day participating in their first ever Pokemon League.
--> Introduce Axis' sole Pokemon.
Species: Ninjask
- Name: Tekkan (from "Tekkanin", Ninjask's Japanese name)
- Gender: Male
- Ability: Speed Boost
- Nature: Hasty
- Moveset: Fury Cutter, Agility, Swords Dance, Slash, Air Slash, U-Turn
- Corresponding Greek God: Hermes
- Color: Gold
- Hasslemon handle: apaceCourier (AC)
- Personality: Tekkan is, as is natural for his species, blisteringly fast in terms of both speech and movement. Energetic, carefree, and immensely loyal to Axis, he is also extremely curious, particularly in regards to AS SEEN ON TV advertisements and human inventions (haven seen many of them when he was still travelling the world and delivering mail). As such, he sometimes will drop advertising lingo into his speech. He also enjoys serving as an emissary and is able to deliver mail and messages in as little as 1 minute. In battle, he mainly relies on his blistering speed, using moves such as Agility to move before practically all opponents.
Axis, similarly to Kimberly Bond, started writing personality profiles for all of their Pokemon, albiet in the style of the "Enter name" speeches from Homestuck. Tekkan's can be found below (for wiki purposes).
- Enter name.
Your name is TEKKAN. You are a NINJASK.
It should come as very little surprise to you that, based on the fact that you correspond to the GREEK GOD HERMES, you are NATURALLY VERY FAST ALMOST ALL OF THE TIME. You are EXTREMELY ENTERGETIC AND CAREFREE. Yet, you also have an EXTREME LOYALTY TOWARDS YOUR TRAINER and are willing to protect them when something particularly bad happens. You have an immense fascination with AS SEEN ON TV advertisements and MERCHANDISE, and as such, enjoy coming up with your own INVENTIONS. You also enjoy serving as an EMISSARY between your Trainer and other Trainers— and will absolutely serve as one when they catch more Pokemon. In battle, your SPEED is ABSOLUTELY BLISTERING, and you enjoy using AGILITY and SPEED BOOST to raise your speed so that it is AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE. You've even learned AIR SLASH to counter the effects of a possible TRICK ROOM ABILITY.
Your Hasslemon handle is apaceCourier and you $peak in a manner veeeeeerryveryveryremini$ent of a televi$ion adverti$er! $ervi$e i$ guaranteed or your moneyback!
Hi hi! No, this time I didn't come up with a new character.
I just wanna know if I can write a small scene involving Arceus in my next post. It's just a small scene, but since this is The Alpha Pokémon we're talking about, I want to ask if I am allowed to, as a precaution.
