Is that how you get visitor messages? I thought you got them by being cool. ... oh, shit, I forgot I had any.

If I ever imply France in an RP where, for example, the context for calling something "French Toast" doesn't exist, you can know that's not me.

Bio

I'm a generally chill gomboblin that can be kinda particular. I grew up with plenty of electronics and video games, mostly with games like Final Fantasy, Zelda, and StarCraft. Lots of Nintendo. Dark Cloud is pretty sick. That's a lot of variety, and I do like to play a lot of different games. I like to blend magic and technology in my writing, bringing fantasy into space and sci-fi.

Magic in space is something that I find isn't done very much. Airships and spaceships could make for some cool centerpieces. Skies of Arcadia did a fantastic job of this. Perhaps that's not in space, exactly, but it's pretty close. Some of those ships may as well be space ships.

Clifford Blackwell had a quirk that made itself very difficult to hide in his current environment. If he really wanted to hide it, without risking exposure, he'd have to cover his arms and legs and be rather... Energetic. The problem with that was the climate. It was difficult for him to remain so enthusiastic and covered in this hot, humid weather. It was much easier, much for comfortable, and much safer to stay in costume and be his usual, low-key self.

So he was Crysalis. Clifford Blackwell was as his pupa, and he was wrapped in the cocoon of school, to become Crysalis, the hero. He'd made his decision to become a hero, and he knew what that meant. For him, it meant that his quirk could readily betray his identity, and he couldn't let that happen. Just a little bit of crystal growth on his face was all it would take. Someone finding a chunk of crystal he'd accidentally shaken off. His sleeve or pant leg lifting too much. And he could not let that happen.

So he was Crysalis.

Crysalis was, in fact, also in his way to the kitchen. Difference was, he was hungry and not looking for tea. Also, he was watching where he was going. He saw the girl coming, staring up into the beautiful blue, and he stopped to let her pass him. "You'll bump into someone that way, y'know." He smiled softly, ready to lift his hand in greeting when she turned toward the voice.@BlackMaiden










Here we go.

It's such a powerful combo, too. Sunny day boosts fire moves, but also lets you fire solar beam in one turn. Top it all off with Blaziken's speed and good luck stopping it.

I'm not a competitive Pokemon dude, and really, I dislike competitive gaming, but just thinking about this combo, man. It's not anything I've ever set up in an actual game, but I know it'd be strong.
Fun fact: Blaziken can legitimately learn solar beam.
"Rapier can take care of himself. ... Usually. This might still be trouble, that's... A lot of Spearow. And a Fearow." The previous conversation was forgotten, it was time to get serious. Getting both of them out of here might be trouble, so would the better option be to stand their ground? That night be difficult. None of Sarah's Pokemon were going to be good here... Bug and Grass, mostly. Shit.

"There. They're chasing him... They must see him as a threat to their territory. I'll have to help him out... Is there a river nearby? A lake?" Probably not deep enough for Umi. Damn! "Don't worry, Sarah. You're under my protection," the protection of a Pokemon champion. "Kawaken, get ready for defense! Leave a path for Rapier." She took a deep breath as she strode toward the danger, Kawaken emerging and throwing bubbles into the air. "RAPIER! LET'S GO!" She gathered her aura and let it swell. No holding back now, not with someone to protect.

Above, Rapier heard her and knew her plan. He drew them in, toward them, before banking hard and increasing speed toward the team's battle partner. She watched him carefully, waiting for the last moment to turn and put her arm out. He landed near her wrist and she took his momentum, pivoting and spinning while she gave him her Aura. "Extreme Speed - Close Combat!" She took all that momentum and threw Rapier back the way he came, launching him through the cloud of descending Spearow. As he drilled through their formation, his talons lashed out, carving his way through. "Rapier, hold back that Fearow with Aerial Ace! Kawaken, Bubble Beam the rest of them!" Kawaken wasn't as strong, but he had ranged attacks. The Spearow would have to get close to them, and the field of bubbles would make that difficult.

Damnit, Ice Beam would be really handy here! But without a body of water, Umi would just be a target.
