Vivian

Feyhollow

The words of encouragement and concern seemed to instantly lift Vivian's spirits. Ravens charm didn't go awry either. Slightly blushing she smiled to herself as her flabebe basked in the attention it was getting before softly drifting towards the trubbish, talking to her friends Pokemon.
"Thank you." Viv says to everyone, a bit embarrassed by her earlier composure.
"haha, it's been a long exciting day, but yea I'm alright."

As flabebe and treasure spoke to each other the conversation took a bit of a serious turn as flabebe grew stern in her words, turning her head up at something treasure had said.

"I wish I knew what they were saying!" Viv said with a bit of a laugh. Undoubtably her friend would notice the underlaying worry in her voice. Concerned that her flabebe was being rude.

But then as trubbish didn't give up, flabebe dropped the stand off-ish persona and opened her eyes as if taking in or thinking about something the trubbish had said. After looking all around flabebe turned back and with a friendly smile and nod ended their conversation on good terms. After that flabebe came to rest near Vivian's shoulder, seemingly giving her trainer a chance.

This surprised Vivian but she didn't want to make a big deal over it, instead she turned back to her new group of friends with a smile glued to her face. Excited and curious she questions everyone there.
"So what's everyone doing out here so late? What's everyone's Pokemon plans? Where are you all heading next?"

New Young Justice

Arden

As Talos spoke in his strange synthesised voice, Arden realised he was not at the very back of the group as he first thought. While Nightwing then appeared and gave instructions Arden used the distraction to try and casually sneak behind Talos. Even if his attempts of subtlety left things not so subtle.
Arden felt more confident and relaxed behind everyone else, out of the view of as many eyes as possible.
He was curiously examining the android in front of hims when the floating people flashed across the large screen. This caught his interest and attention.

Next thing the meeting was over. People moved to action, a girl disappeared in a flash, quips were made and the teleporter got busy. Arden continued to stare at the TV as he shrugged his shoulders and nervously followed the group. Unsure what to expect on the other side.

After a short moment and a bright flash of light, London appeared before his eyes. It surrounded him, engulfed him, it was everywhere. He was in London.
Arden froze, unable to move, unsure what to do, looking around like a deer caught in headlights. He didn't know where to mentally begin, so much was going on everywhere...

"Oh, that's a Pokemon!" Viv says with excited amusement as she bends down to examine the trubbish giving it a gentle inquisitive smile."Hi there little guy, Treasure huh, well ain't you interesting." As Leisy releases more Pokemon Vivian is hit with a sudden realisation, remembering something important she eagerly shoots upright. With a wide smile she begins digging into the satchel hanging on her side.
"I have just the thing for situations like this." she says eventually removing a slim light pink device from her bag. After a moment of inquisitive fumbling it finally snaps open revealing itself to be a pokedex.

With a wide proud smile Vivian aims the device at each Pokemon one by one and listens intently to the electronic voice.

"Now that's six!" Viv says excitedly with a squeal as she packs her pokedex away. Something new then dawns on her as she looks at everyone else's Pokemon."Oh, wait, should I get mine out too?" she asks, her bright demeanour suddenly dropping to something more serious and concerned. Again she rummages through her little rucksack as she mumbles to herself "C'mon Vee, your doing it wrong already. Grr."

Suddenly from within the bag there's a soft click, Vivians eyes widen in fear as she realises what just happened, but it's too late. A bright red flash glows from within her bag, followed by a buzzing zap.
A puff of pollen shot into the air as the small bag expanded like a balloon. Slowly a grumpy little flabebe floated out of the clutter, smoothing out its crumpled precious white flower. It lets out an angry 'quip'.

"Oh Flabebe, I'm such a cluts, I'm so sorry." Disappointed in herself Viv sighs deeply and slumps her head. "I don't know what I'm doing, my mother knew how upset I've been since things in the big city didn't work and I know she is only trying to help, but I just don't know if I will be any good at this whole Pokemon thing. I don't know what to do, I don't know if I'm ready."

Vivian looks at the other trainers, envious of how calm and comfortable they are with their Pokemon. "What if I do it wrong? What if Flabebe never likes me or I get her sick or hurt?" Viv pouts, feeling overwhelmed and under-confident.

Bio:

Parents: Peter Abelard & Héloïse d'Argenteuil

Info

In 1115, Peter Abelard "the keenest thinker and boldest theologian of the 12th Century" a medieval French scholasticphilosopher, theologian and preeminent logician. Son of knight Berengar, moved in with a canon in Paris named Fulbert and his ward and niece young Héloïse d'Argenteuil who he tutored in exchange for the accommodation. Like Fulbert he himself became a canon. Despite all this an affair took place behind Fulberts back and beneath his roof, the results of the illicit affair was baby Petrus Astralabius, who would later be known as Jon Lytton.

Abelard had to move Héloïse away from Fulbert and sent her to his own sister in Brittany when she showed signs of pregnancy.
Ongoing situations eventually caused Abélard to place Héloïse for her own safety in the convent of Argenteuil where she became prioress. After some grisly affairs Abélard himself eventually became a monk in the Abbey of St Denis in Paris. Neither parent around to raise their young son.

It wouldn't be until his later teens that Jon would formally meet his parents and continue to on occasions for moral guidance. In the meantime and to their death, letters under secret aliases kept them connected.

Early years:

1117 to 1135

Jon Astrolabe Lytton was raised by the Guardians in which his family had close ties. He trained with his grandfather and travelled with his aunt. Growing up with the descendants they became his extended family, but they were something more. Crown Jewels of humanity carrying the greatest gift of God. Deserving of protection and preservation they were the ones with the ability to lead humanity to a new golden age. He was a good kid who studied and trained hard, always being at the ready to help the guardians change the world for the better. This was his purpose, this was his call.

From teen to war

1135 to 1140

At the age of 18 Jon became caught up in England's civil war later known as The Anarchy It was a messy lawless time. Jon did things and witnessed events that at the time he would rather forget. But now such petty things no longer weighed on his soul.
He never saw the war to the very end. He fought heart and soul with his life to support whatever cause the guardians saw fit to give him. Believing in the wisdom of the descendants reincarnation.

After King Henries passing The guardians supported the deceased's nephew Stephen of Blois, for political reasons and their ties to Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester.
Meanwhile the king's daughter Empress Matilda had ties to the covern and had her own interests in immortality. While history claims it a war of succession it was much more than that.
A personal vendetta between two ancient organisations. Both side petitioned for the innocent to rally behind their false fronts, recruiting others to their will through means of coin or intimidation if required.
It was a bloody and horrible time, the weak and poor the first to suffer the travesties of war as both sides tried to limit the supplies of the other. Chroniclers described the period as one in which "Christ and his saints were asleep"

Love, death, betrayal and order.

1140 to 1146

1141 Jon first met Matilda as she was on the verge of being crowned queen, where he and the order forced her to retreat from London as a hostile crowd.
It was the following year 1142, Jon now 27 and a fierce grown man, did he start to question everything. He had read all the books of his father, specially those of morals and logic. He had been at war for 9 years and the chaos consumed his heart, worst of all, in Matilda's brief presence her words had poisoned his ear.

Jon was a romantic deep at heart just like his father but his continual rebuffed affection towards Swanhild de Deoraby drove him to a moment of madness. One war torn day, with blood already on his hands, he killed her. That singular action altering his fate immensely as it expunged him from the guardians and made him an enemy of his former family.
The same year the war almost ended during the siege of Oxford, but just as the Empress was almost captured Jon aided her to escape from Oxford Castle across the frozen River Thames to safety.

Jon believed all this drama and trouble was the results of the descendants immortality. The witches pursuit would never end and innocents would continue to die. It was then he decided they had to die. Secretly aligned with Empress Matilda (closer than he should be with a married woman) he used his connections with the churches and the rebel Barron's he had mustered and sought out a new faction to bring order amongst the chaos. Simply known as the 'Order'.

For the next few years the order secretly grew and integrated itself more strongly into the church. The six were hunted as demons. Innocent people were burned as witches and chaos was the result, but the order had its mission. The battle for England no longer their concern they focused their attacks towards the guardians where ever they could. With Jon's knowledge of their workings he weakened and exploited their shortcomings.

By early 1147 the order had gained enough influence to lead a holy crusade against the guardians.
During it Jon and his order sidetracked for their own personal agenda. Jon lured out his old friend Alexandros into a trap and murdered him. Soon after he led skirmishes that killed many guardians. With the full support of the church and the holy roman empress Matilda behind him. Jon took his forces and broke into a guardian hideout where he was able to kidnap Xanthippe. He also almost had Korinna too but she was defiant and almost caused him to be apprehended, instead he assaulted her with an alchemical concoction, permanently blinding her, and escaped just as guardian reinforcements arrived.

On his own with a trusted few Xanthippe was the subject of much experimentation, bordering torture. Jon acted independently to his benefactors, keeping the results and experiments to himself. There his greed broke him, he was occasionally torn in his ways of treating her. Sometime being nurturing and apologetic as he tried to rationalise his actions, other times he was empty and hateful, committing himself to the path he had chosen and deliberately pushing himself beyond necessity to be cold and empty as he shrugged of compassion and empathy. Regardless of his mood, this was still his sister. There was no turning back. At times he hoped to find an easy answer to immortality and be free and able to let her on her way. But as days turned into weeks and those weeks into months, he knew he would never be the same again. In the end, enraged and spiteful, he delicately opened her chest and ate her still beating heart...

Born again he was now something more. Eager to share and test his findings they captured Korinna a few months later and she underwent a similar yet shorter ordeal to Xanthippe, this time his loyal follower Agnes bearing the gift of the supposedly stolen immortality.

Now they were some of the very abominations to god that the order swore to rid. So they left and travelled to Ireland.

After death - grudges

1146 onwards

The guardians begin to investigate ways to defend themselves.
The blast furnace for the smelting of cast iron is imported from China, appearing around Lapphyttan, Sweden, as early as 1150.

Betrayed, Empress Matilda refocuses her attention to the vampires and consults with the remaining England guardians.
* 1153: The Treaty of Wallingford (Treaty of Winchester, Treaty of Westminster), effectively ends the civil war between Empress Matilda and her cousin King Stephen of England fought over the English crown. Stephen acknowledges Matilda's son Henry of Anjou as his heir.
* 1154: On December 27, Henry II is crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey.
* 1155: Pope Adrian IV grants overlordship of Ireland to Henry II of England in the bull Laudabiliter. He continues his mothers wrathful pursuit of the vampires.

* 1168: The vampires retaliate through King Valdemar I of Denmark who conquers Arkona on the Island of Rügen, the strongest pagan fortress and temple in northern Europe.

* 1169: On May 1, the Norman invasion of Ireland begins. Richard fitzGilbert de Clare ('Strongbow') makes an alliance with the exiled Irish chief, Dermot MacMurrough, to help him recover his kingdom of Leinster. The vampires the driving force behind it trying to push out Matilda's influence.

* 1170—The Christian notion of Purgatory is defined as described by Jon.

* 1171: On November 11, Henry II of England lands in Ireland to assert his claim as Lord of Ireland and continue his mothers search for Jon.
The vampires are forced to flea and eventually settled back down, but it didn't last long.

* 1189–1192: The Third Crusade is an attempt by European leaders to wrest the Holy Land from Saladin.

Tired of the crusading army.
* 1190: On June 10, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa drowns (with assistance) in the River Salef, leaving the Crusader army under the command of the rivals Philip II of Franceand Richard I of England, which ultimately leads to the dissolution of the army.

The long chase

1200 to 1700

For the next 5 centuries the vampires play a giant game of cat and mouse all over the globe with all of the different factions, the order, the church, the guardians, the witches, whilst simultaneously hunting down the reincarnated descendants and growing their small circle death by death.

Separation

1700

The originals had since learnt how to make their own vampires and eventually split into 3 groups and spread throughout different parts of the world. Jon had taught them discretion and how to influence the world from the shadows. How to pass on their gift and to worry of the strength of united enemies.

Jon and Agnes were in France where they had become a bit careless and indulgent. Not living to his own lessons. Eventually the French Revolution drove them from their large extravagant lifestyles of France, and they slipped into Britain where he capitalised on the early industrial revolution.

After that

then to now

After that the world quickly grew smaller. Borders became harder to cross, proof of identity a constant requirement, the 'order' through means of the church took a powerful role in the influence of future things and it made the world a very difficult place for immortals.

The originals eventually further split and lived through their puppets. Each stealing as much influence as they could, building networks and infiltrating society through lawyers, politicians, businessmen, thugs & mobsters. Anything they could get their hands on. As for Jon, he disappeared completely, while the other covern were attacked, moved and rebuilt, nothing was ever heard of Jon. Until now.

Vivian

Feyhollow-The Vaude's Flower Garden

Previous Event

Vivian sat alone on a wooden bench surrounded by her parents beautiful flower garden. However even the bright sun, the chirping birds and the nostalgia of this happy place couldn't shake the heavy sorrow resting on her heart.
Her face was streaked with old tears and her head rested in her cupped hands as her shoulders shuddered on sobbing breaths.

Vivian had been home for a whole day now and thanks to her mothers encouragement this was the first time she had left her room. It was then that the same motherly love slipped an arm around Vivian's shoulder and sat beside her with a hug. Vivian wiped away her tears to look up at her mothers caring face. Vivian had been gone over a year and in that time her mother seemed to have accumulated more wrinkles. Her skin was softly tanned from her long hours in the garden beds yet her eyes remained ever the nurturing and gentlest.
Vivian hugged her mum back and slowly a small smile came to her lips. It was good to be home.

After a moments embrace and the exchange of a few grateful caring words Vivian noticed a parcel sitting on the dirty overalls of her mothers lap. Her parents had gone all out and stretched the limit of their contacts and money to try help Vivian cheer up and move on to her next adventure. After carefully opening the decorated wrapper Vivian gasped.

Her very own pokedex and first pokeball.

Vivian's mother had a few flowery and grass Pokemon that helped in the garden but that was the extent of Viv's relationship with Pokemon. Besides that and what she saw on TV. She never really had any passion or desire to be a trainer and was just happy to let them be.
Still, her mum was trying, so Viv graciously accepted her gift. The two spent a few hours talking and catching up, mostly it was Viv's mother reminiscing her own Pokemon encounters.

But the surprises didn't end there...
Vivian was lead to secluded part of the garden where a mural of pretty flowers circled one high standing beautiful white flower. 'A fairy flower' her mother called it. Apparently it was a truly rare flower and what Vivian found even more surprising was the Pokemon living inside it!

Flabebe

"Aww it's sooo cute!" Vivian squealed in a hush whisper as to not startle the Pokemon. Her mood instantly improving. The Flabebe seemed happy to see Viv's mother but not so much Vivian.

"Flabebe" her mother gently called out approaching the Pokemon. Flabebe gave its own excited little squee in response. "This is my daughter Vivian, I want you to go with her and look after her just like I looked after you and your flower."

The little Flabebe crossed its arms and sternly shook its little head. Vivian's heart sank a little. If her mother was shocked she didn't show it, instead she continued to gently try coheres her tiny friend into agreeing. It was clear in the way this Pokemon looked up to the garden keeper that she adored and admired her, perhaps that was the reason it didn't want to leave with anyone else.

"PETALS GO! Stunspore now!" It all happened so fast, flabebe was as shocked as Vivian. In a flash a Vileplume burst from its pokeball and with a flap of its petals released a spray of yellow dust over the entire flower patch including the fairy flower.
"Quick follow it with sleeping powder."
Vileplume did, acting instantly. Flabebe couldn't move, slowly it fell asleep.

"Now throw your ball dear." her mum said, returning to her gentle, quiet normal self like nothing had happened. Like for a moment there she didn't just explode into an unknown fierce stranger. Vivian couldn't follow the instructions, she was still in awe at what just happened. She glimpsed a fierce passion and excitement that she had never seen in her mother before, and it was inspiring!

Suddenly she snapped to and fumbled with the poke ball, nearly dropping it as it enlarged. Taking aim with her left hand she pivoted as she stepped and sent the ball flying through the air...
... Into the flower bush, falling short of the sleeping Pokemon. Her mother let out a sigh and the two of them dove into the prickly bushes trying to move quickly and very quietly.

Later that day after a hearty meal and a few hours of ball practise with a very excited father. Vivian set out to find her best friend. Feeling a lot happier she had a skip in her step as she made her way out with a new companion at her side. They eventually recovered the pokeball just as Flabebe was awakening and instead of throwing it, she used a gentle tap.
