Description

EDIT: Forgot to put in the date cause of an oversight on my end!

Back on my bluff with two familiar faces: Hunter and Locke of Flowering Hearts. Of course I had to jump on the chance to re-tell their story, so...now's a better time than ever to do so, right? Here's hoping that I'm doing this right.

Anyways, here's my first team ready to be submitted, Flowering Hearts. And here are the members, for a little recap!

Name: Locke Havenheart

Gender: Male (he/him)

Age: Young Adult

Pokémon: Deerling (Autumn Form)

Albino/Melan/(Part) Shiny: No

Starting guild: Arcanists

Starting item: None

Guild Earnings: 15

Items: None

Nature: Careful

Characteristic: A little quick tempered

Ability: Sap Sipper - Getting hit by a Grass-type move boosts the power of Locke's physical moves instead of dealing damage

Moveset:

Grass Knot

Double Kick

Nature Power

Hidden Power

Personality: Locke is not the easiest Pokémon to get along with. A quiet and reserved Deerling, he is the type of mon who would rather be by himself than get involved in conversations, and is not really one for teamwork. Locke also has serious trust issues when it comes to meeting new Pokémon as well as an aversion to making friends, preferring to keep his circle as small as possible. The only Pokémon he is really comfortable with at the moment are Hunter (his teammate) and Weston (the Arcanist guild leader, whom he sees as a father figure). Past all that, however, lies a wounded soul just waiting to be healed, and Locke is not one without compassion. He is also fiercely protective of Hunter; if he feels that she was threatened in any way, he will not hesitate to strike back.

History: There is a lot that Locke would rather not talk about when it comes to his past. All that is known about him so far is that he traveled through the fog with his twin sister, Keyes. At some point in their travels, however, something happened and Keyes vanished. Locke kept going through the fog until he came across Castanet, where he met a cat-like Gastly known only as Hunter. Realizing that Hunter was pursuing a goal as similar - yet also different - as his, the fawn decided to team up with her and join the Arcanists' Guild, believing that Hunter alone might hold the key to Keyes's whereabouts.

Additional Information:

- The flower on Locke's head has a petal torn off. What caused it, however, is something Locke would rather not describe, like everything else about his past. Perhaps it might come to light in the future, though. Who knows?
- Despite his no-nonsense demeanor, Locke is not a grump nor an emo
- Locke is always in his Autumn Form, regardless of the season

Name: "Hunter"

Gender: Female (she/her)

Age: Deceased/Immortal (lived to be at least 15 years of age)

Pokémon: Gastly

Albino/Melan/(Part) Shiny: No

Starting guild: Arcanists

Starting item: None

Guild Earnings: 15

Items: None

Nature: Naive

Characteristic: Highly persistent

Ability: Levitate - All Ground-type moves as well as Abilities like Arena Trap or ground-based entry hazards like Spikes have no effect on Hunter

Moveset:

Night Shade

Will-O-Wisp

Psychic

Dazzling Gleam

Personality: Kindhearted, honest, and curious, Hunter is proof that not all Ghost-types are what they seem. As a matter of fact, this Gastly is actually a pacifist at heart. She is always remorseful for any acts of violence she may have committed and would NEVER try to harm a life, even if others try to provoke her into doing so. She is also quick to forgive and never tries to hold a grudge on anyone, even if at one point they were her enemies. However, she is also surprisingly impulsive (but not quick to anger, thankfully) and will go to extreme measures to protect those whom she deeply cares about. Hunter also has the pure innocence of a child, as she is very shy when meeting new faces. Yet, she is quick to warm up to them, and also enjoys playing with the other children.

History: Nothing is known about Hunter. All that is known about her so far is that she woke up in Castanet with no memories of her past life, except for the fact that she used to be a Sylveon, as well as a name..."Hunter". Taking these matters personally, she decided to join a guild to find out more about herself. It was this decision that landed her in a partnership with a Deerling named Locke at the Arcanists' Guild.

Additional Information:

- Hunter's gas does not outline her bow, despite what you may think!
- She's smaller than a normal Gastly by about a foot
- Despite her pacifistic nature, Hunter does have a mischievous streak about her
- She's terrified of thunder and lightning, and deathly afraid of Luxray. The reason why, however, is vague and unknown, even to her
- Her gas has a sweet scent to it, like jasmine

Name: "Doctor" Kozmo Faunus

Gender: Non-Binary (they/them)

Age: 17

Pokémon: Sprigatito

Albino/Melan/(Part) Shiny: Shiny

Starting guild: Arcanists

Starting item: None

Guild Earnings: 15

Items: None

Nature: Naughty

Characteristic: Impetuous and silly

Ability: Overgrow - If Kozmo is on their last legs, their Grass-type moves get a bigger power boost

Moveset:

Seed Bomb

U-Turn

Sucker Punch

Taunt

Personality: Kozmo is what others would call a "mad scientist" – someone who is constantly pursuing new experiments to try out, new potions to create…and new magic spells to use. While they claim that they are doing this for the good of all, the unnerving smile and constant burn scars left behind (one of them having even blown off part of their tail) would likely suggest otherwise. This causes them to brush off as arrogant, unsettling, and even insane. Despite their outward appearance, however, Kozmo is actually insecure about their abilities, and will often tend to worry about the progress they might or might not be making in their quest for revenge and redemption. They also care deeply for the safety of others around them, which they try to hide out of fear that whoever tricked them in the first place could potentially hurt their friends and loved ones…if they're lucky enough to have any at all! Once you crack that insane exterior, you’ll find that Kozmo is not a bad Pokémon at all; they just have some serious issues that need to be ironed out, s'all.

History: Kozmo was born and raised in Castanet, although their parents came from the fog. Growing up in a litter of four as the second-youngest child, Kozmo trained carefully under their parents' watchful eyes as the two observed who would be most suited to which guild. As the years went by, Kozmo began developing an interest in potions and alchemy, and became enrolled alongside their eldest sister Lilith in the Arcanists' Guild. For a time, everything was going smoothly, and Kozmo and Lilith were recognized as some of the best scholars.

Then, everything changed…

The details are unclear, but Kozmo met someone who promised to lend them the most powerful secrets of the world…but only if they agreed to train under that Pokémon's tutelage. Though curiosity didn't kill the grass cat, their mental state did slowly begin to deteriorate. Soon, they found themselves doing more and more dangerous tasks, experimenting with powerful potions. Kozmo didn't even realize the numerous lab accidents they were causing in their wake, or the chaos they were unleashing. They thought what they were doing was brilliant. Everyone else, however, knew better; they knew that whatever deal Kozmo had made, it was driving them insane.

Something had to be done to stop the madness, and the guild leaders only found one way.

With a heavy heart and no other options, they banned Kozmo from ever enrolling in the Arcanists' Guild…at least, until they had calmed down and learned their lesson. Wracked with guilt at being unable to stop her younger sibling, Lilith also left the Arcanists' Guild. She left behind only a note proclaiming that she would find a way to save Kozmo from their maniacal behaviour.

Realizing the massive price they had to pay, and furious that they had been tricked all along, Kozmo swore to take revenge on their "tutor", find their sister Lilith, and – above all else – prove to their peers that they were not as mad as everyone believed them to be. No matter what it took!

They would show them…they would show them all!

Additional Information:

- Although Kozmo is always covered in burn scars, the only burn that's really important is the one on their tail-tip. The rest of the burns can be drawn however you please

- Ironically, Kozmo greatly dislikes being called a "mad scientist", preferring to go by "brilliant scholar" instead (though their maniacal expression do suggest otherwise)

- Their fur has the scent of burnt rafflesia

- Part of their chaotic personality is loosely based on Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls
