Ok, so my muse has been seriously ADD right now, so I'm trying to think of anything that can get me to concentrate on one topic for more than a sent-Oh! The next chapter of that manga should be out soon, I should go reread it... (see what I mean?).
Anywhosits, I decided to try out creating a new charrie. But, since its my muse and it hates me, I've got a lot of ideas. Here's the 3 most fleshed out:
Niahm Nox, Pravus scientist and council member. She joined Pravus because she wants to improve, well, everything! (A bit like Igor from Discworld in that respect). She tests things out on herself (That's how she wound up a Weavile Pokemorph), has a snarky Weavile named Jack the Ripper, a fussy Altaria, and a Shinx named Don Juan who hasn't decided if he wants to evolve because he thinks Luxio are ugly (Luxray are freakin' awesome but maybe the cute chibi Shinx look will get more ladies than the tall dark and handsome motif...). Nia comes from a very big family, one of the oldest, and has a very strong mothering, protective, ticking biological clock. She tends to bring home strays, be they people or Pokemon, and, well, "make them better." She's quite the feminist, and has a drill sergeant aspect to her. She will not take "I can't do it!" for an answer, and absolutely abhors self-doubt.
Pips, or [insert insanely long name here] Nox is Nia's little brother. Much younger brother. They didn't really even live in the same house for that many years. The Nox family isn't so much a blended family as one that has been run through a meat grinder then stuck in a blender set to "puree" for 10 minutes. Lots of kids, from 3 different mothers (sisters) who for some reason or another, can't seem to keep hold of a man for more than a few years. Add in a few adopted kids and one granddaughter and you've got the Brady Bunch on crack!The end result: about 18 kids (Pips was the 13th) and a whole lot of chaos. Pips is surprisingly quiet. He'd always be the one to get left behind when the family went to the fair, stuck in the elevator, not get a slice of cake because he'd never speak up, etc. Very quiet. But he's a people watcher, and completely sucks at speaking to people. He gets all red and tongue tied and stutters when he's forced to be the center of attention. There's nothing he likes more than to sit on a park bench and watch people in Nada, making up little stories as he goes. He's got a Koranto named Ix who goes berserk whenever he's sent into battle, a Kitcia who noms on everything, and a Squaladin who is big, strong, and afraid of her own shadow. Add in the fact that Pips is a closet adrenaline junkie with a death wish and you've got fun! Woah, almost forgot his Dia who is almost always invisible and who loves Gusting up girl's skirts and dropping things down their skirts.
Last, but not least, is Conner and The Brat. Conner is a Houndoom Pokemorph who grew up in the slums of some city before he volunteered to be one of Pravus' experiments. Ended up a Pokemorph many years ago and hasn't looked back since. He works as a sort of field agent/information gatherer for Pravus, feeding his boss enough info to keep Conner well paid and Pravus off his back. Likes Pravus because they pay well, considers Pokemorphs a superior species to human, is extremely quick to anger, and has trboule with any technology more complicated than a Pokeball (don't ask him about the time he got caught by a Ranger trainee...just Don't Ask. That's why Conner carries 'his' Pokeball on a chain around his neck, to prevent something like that from ever happening again). Conner also has an extremely dirty mouth (asterisks and ampersands all the way!), mostly aimed towards his gift from hell, The Brat. The Brat is a Poochyena Conner got after he managed to 'loose' his first Pravus team ("they were all a bunch of pussies grumble grumble"). The Brat managed to go a full 2 weeks without a proper name. The Brat likes to annoy, bug, poke, prod, or attempt to assassinate Conner on a regular basis, and since Conner can only figure out how to make a Pokemon return about half the time, The Brat is pretty much perpetually out and around Conner.
Ok, now that that's all set, anyone want to vote and help me decide? I betcha I could come up with more details and spoilers if people have a difficult time deciding...as if you'd want to read anymore about these characters. Hope I didn't put anyone to sleep!
