Sorry for my lack of posts lately. I've just... been struggling to get the energy to write something up. I'm trying some new meds through so hopefully that will change soon.

Pray tell, good sir, what sharp wit causes thee to question the goingonability of 'this'?
I only came upon this thread recently. For all I knew, it was just someone posting for the first time in a month. Glad to see that isn't the case through.
Well, Gredy has just arrived and hopefully Phantump will be with him. He's seeing what appears to be some kind of brawl, but he doesn't know what it's about and is thus staying out of it until he has more information.
I have to admit, I might have a method for taking on that Machamp despite how much stronger it might be... But I need to see just what kind of moves it's been taught just so I have an idea what to expect from it first.
Gredy was more then happy to take the ghost girl's hand, being firm but clearly trying not to squeeze too hard. "It's pronounced Gredy. Gr-e-dy. And I would be honored to travel with you by my side." Smiling widely for a moment, it faltered a little as he ran into a small problem "I can respect the fact that you don't want to be in a pokeball. Understand that completely... but I'm not quite sure how that works out when it comes to things like pokemon centers. I don't want you to be denied help because of a technicality..." Would they deny her service just because she was a 'wild' pokemon? Doubtful, but there was a pretty decent chance they might not give her back to him and there wouldn't really be any legal grounds for him to stop him...
Shaking his head a little, Gredy quickly brightened up. "Alright, I guess step one of our journey is to go to the pokemon center and ask if there is a way to have you registered as my pokemon without having to put you in a pokeball. Be a good chance for us both to get something to eat for lunch as well... Maybe I can even replace my bag." Was it the most well thought out of plans? Maybe not but as far as Gredy was concerned it was as good a place to start as any other. It would give them a chance to get to know each other a bit better and they could bum around at the trainer house for the night after they got all their affairs in order.
With a plan in hand, Gredy decided to take the lead as he had a pretty decent idea of where the Pokemon Center was from their current location in the alleyway. It wasn't even that far away from if he was remembering things correctly. There was even a park next door that they could hang out at! There was one thing that had to be cleared up before they got there through. "What should I call you? I mean I know you're a Phantump but what kind of name would you like to be-" the sentence was cut off before it could be finished by a nearby shriek that sounded like someone had screamed it at the top of their lungs. It had come from the direction that they were heading towards.
For a moment Gredy stood still, somewhat confused by what he had just heard before his brain started to kick into gear. "...Phantump, can you go invisible and follow me? We need to check this out now." Waiting only long enough to make sure she was going to follow, Gredy started to jog towards where he had heard the shriek come from; He didn't want to be exhausted when he got there in case whatever had caused the shriek was still around.
In less then a minute and slightly winded, Gredy managed to set foot in the park that was near the pokemon center he was heading to and saw... he didn't quite know what it was he was seeing, but it looked like an absolute brawl with three boys around his age and their pokemon... one of which was a MACHAMP!
Deciding to stay on the sidelines for now in order to try and figure out what was going on, Gredy reached into his pokedex and took the time to gather what information he could about all three pokemon in front of his as he could... as well as get an idea of what the Phantump that was hopefully still there with him could do too.
Ignoring the others that had gathered (Easy enough to do really), Magus honestly did consider just walking away then and there and letting this world die because he honestly didn't really care if it did or not. However, a stray thought dashed across his mind which caught his interest...
Looking at the fairy, when Magus spoke he seemed more... curious than anything else. "Your 'Goddess' knows full well that I don't give a damn about this light forsaken world or the people in it and that I would be more then happy to watch it burn even if it means my own death out of petty spite... She knows this, but she took the time and effort to invite me to this little gathering anyway. That would suggest that she has something to offer me to make me reconsider my position."
"So tell me Sparkles... what is your boss offering in exchange for saving her world?"
Hey, just something that I thought about after reading through everyone's sheets to get an idea of what Faxrus's relations with the other gods would be like...
Looking at how Ilyona created the Hollows and why... Would it be possibly that she either stole or tricked Faxrus into giving her access to his little black tome in order to figure out how to create them in the first place? He wouldn't interfere with her duties in relation to the hollows (It is her punishment for creating them in the first place) but I could see him still being very bitter about the whole thing.
Edit: ...Or a possible different idea I was thinking of that kind of needs me to rewrite Faxrus a little bit... As a result of her creating the Hollow's (And thus, the state of undeath to begin with), Ilyona accidentally created Faxrus in the process as a minor deity. Considering her personality before the whole Hollow thing it would help explain why he is tries to be good intentioned considering what he is the god of... It would also explain why he is somewhat... different from the other gods in that he was kind of an accident.
I would love to hear your thoughts on any of this.
Personality: Faxrus is something of a neutral, fickle god a lot of the time. Most of the time he feels nothing but a void inside of him that eats away at any emotion good or bad that he might feel; This doesn't mean that he is emotionless through, far from it. In order for one or more of his emotions to properly register, it has to come on strong and fast before it starts to fade away.
Those who interact with him can find him to be... strange at times, but usually with good intentions. He is a fan of the living, but has difficulty talking to them due to the way in which he views the world somewhat... off compared to the standard mortal (and the fact that most living people are terrified of him to begin with doesn't help), so he is rather content to simply be on his own while doing his own things.
Major Domain: Undeath.
Minor Domains: Decay and Rebirth.
Your Avatar:
Legend has it that Faxrus was reading in a long abandoned library when a stray kitten wondered up to him and started nuzzling his leg for attention/food; Both of which the somewhat surprised god of undeath provided. The cat remained with him for the rest of his stay and when it came time to leave Faxrus had grown rather fond of the feline and thus took her as his personal pet, giving her the name 'Countess Von Fluffiness'. After owning her for several years, Faxrus made her into his neigh immortal avatar, letting her wander around the world as she pleased but always happy to see her when she came back home to him.
For all intents and purposes, Countess Von Fluffiness is just an ordinary house cat that just happens to be the pet of the god of undeath. She is free to wonder the mortal world at will and can go where she likes because the own agenda that she serves is that of just about any other cat. However, those who treat her nicely seem to find their lives improved in small ways... while those that mistreat her are in for a hellish time.
Stance:
Faxrus is rather indifferent to the current goings on in the drama that is life among the deities; He was never the most social or active of gods and honestly he suspects that most of the others have forgotten that he exists at all. However, while his peers turn on each other he himself has decided that what matters is that someone takes over the position of High God in order to stop existence as they know it from coming to an end... and he might just be the deity for the job.
All he has to do is convince the others of that.
Loyalty During the Rebellion: Faxrus was loyal to his father the High God... even if he didn't really do much in the war itself. Honestly, he contented himself with making sure that neither side attempted to create an undead army and largely stayed out of people's way.
Center of Power: A small silver ring who's jewel appears to be a kind of blue ice.
Relations: Amantius: Faxrus doesn't really mind the god of life all that much. Sure the two of them don't exactly hang out but the few times he has encountered Amantius has generally been rather pleasant all things considered.
Azo'tet: Faxrus doesn't like Azo'tet very much and he suspects that the God of Death doesn't like him either. He finds talking to Azo'tet to be... harder then most and quite frankly doesn't like his whole 'Mortals need to fear death to know their place' thing he has going on.
Powers: Faxrus seems to favor the use of powerful dark magic on the rare occasions that he is called into combat; If he wished he could raise a small army of the undead to do his bidding or fight his battles for him, but he generally doesn't. When he fights he favors the use of curses and spells that cause decay, be it in the equipment that his enemy is using or their very bodies. There is nothing quite like watching someone rot away within a minute while still alive to convince anyone else that fighting is a bad idea.
What is rarely known is that Faxrus also has access to surprisingly powerful healing magics. More then one desperate mortal has turned to Faxrus in their darkest hour to try and help either themselves or a loved one and been pleasantly surprised with the results he could provide.
Godly Equipment: Dark Tome of Faxrus: The Dark Tome of Faxrus contains every single spell, ritual and curse that is related to the art of raising the dead into various states of undeath/life, how to cause ruin and decay on a both small and large scale and some of the most extreme but effective healing rituals in existence (the kind that tell fate to go fuck itself). The tome itself is actually rather plane looking, simply appearing as a book with a leather cover that Faxrus generally carries around with him at all times, normally in a bag on his person.
This book has been stolen from him more then once over the ages by skilled thieves who have only been able to read through some of the pages and maintained enough grip on sanity not to completely lose their minds; From these few mortals did the magical school of Necromancy come into the world. The tome always finds its way back to Faxrus through.
The Tome of the Undead: The other, somewhat lesser known tome that Faxrus carries with him, the Tome of the Undead magically records the relevant individual information behind every single member of the undead in existence. Every page records the important information behind everyone who has died and risen to continue on in undeath; Who they were, why they are undead, what they have become and generally any other relevant information that might prove useful when it comes to helping them deal with their issues. It appears as a simple book with a well worn brown cover that has never been misplaced or lost.
Demi Gods: None.
Faxrus doesn't have a land, nor has he ever used his powers to create a race of creatures or culture. While he is the God of the Undead, he is not the one who created them; With the exception of necromancy, those who return from death as the Undead do so for their own individualistic reasons and while there might be some similarities between different cases everyone is different and needs to be handled differently.
Faxrus's role as the God of Undeath is to largely be the friend and spiritual guider of those who for one reason or another don't wish to let go of the world even through they have died. Those who are trapped in the living world due to distress or anger, he will help bring peace of mind to. Those with unfinished business he will help to accomplish it. Those who have effectively become monsters, he will help come to terms with their new situation. He is the god of the Damned and he will always be in their corner.
Because of his role, Faxrus is a wandering god and will sooner or later walk through the lands of other deities in order to perform his duties. Not everyone dies peacefully after all.
