Kargool the Vanillite

@Iatos@Shiny Keldeo
"Dwebble, huh. Good thing I learned Flash Cannon such a long time ago." Kargool thought, with a smile appearing on his face. He was happy to help this Flareon with her misfortunate event, crooks are rude, and naturally it was a good thing to help those in need. After hearing Relay mention something about him reading thoughts, he decided to quiet down on his own, as to not cause interference between him and this Flareon.

The forest was the only place Hikado felt "home" at now. Through the moisture of the dewdrops in the morning, to the fireflies illuminating it at night, it was his own sanctuary of peaceful times, and his favorite way to forget the past that haunted him so much.

As the possessed gourd wandered through, he began to question why he had even jumped off the mountain in the first place. Although it was a very exciting and joyous 17 seconds of bliss, followed by half a second of unending agony, he never imagined this would be his fate afterwards, instead wishing to go into an afterlife. Sure, awaking as a pumpkin felt amazing at first, as he had a second chance at life with all his old memories intact, but then he frightened everyone he ever met unless they were blind from that point on. It was his personal hell, he imagined.

"... I wish I hit the lake." he whispered to himself, as he ever so quietly approached where he slept if it rained while he was exploring. Even if he was a plant, the feeling of rain on his head didn't bring comfort to him, and rather felt like a very inconspicuous death to him, considering his soul was a small flame inside his head.

After a few minutes of a moist mist in the air, a name came to mind in his head. A name of a place, judging by how it sounded, and the place where Hidako occasionally went for shelter in the event of rain, sleet, or snow. Kado Shrine, a place out of reach from humans and youkai, and a grove for animals and plants to frolic in alike. As he approached it however, he saw in the distance as 7 figures surrounded the center of the shrine.

"...p-people? Here? T-this is unexpected."

It had been a gravely long time since Hikado actually talked to someone. He usually talked to his closest friend - Kimchi the Deer - when he was around his home, which was a stump a far distance away from Kado Shrine in this forest, and when your only method of socialization is a deer who doesn't speak back... the point is he's desperate for intelligent conversation.

You can do it. Just be natural and don't show any hostility. Hikado thought, as he approached the other people in the shrine.

"It's been a long time s-since I've seen people. Why are you all here...?"

Ghost in a Pumpkin

Name: Hikado Jericho, or rather plainly "The Expendable".

Age: 11 y/o at death, but has been as a ghost for 20 years

Race: Earth-Bound Yūrei.

Appearance:

Drawn by me. I apologize for it looking like trash.

Personality: The Expendable is not one for fighting or conflict, and is very afraid of the past and disobeying any direct orders from a figure of higher power. Otherwise, he is surprisingly joyful despite his very brutal past.

History:
Quite some time ago, there lived a large city of people, with a mountain in the center of the city, acting as a home for one of the lower minions of Anjou. This minion kept slaves, and one day, he received a 4 year old human child as a slave. The child, born with one arm as opposed to two, and with a very timid nature, served as a very weak slave to the lower minion of Anjou, and was usually treated as a punching bag of sorts to the minion's military generals, who often called him worthless, useless, and more often than not expendable. Through 7 years of pain and torment, the minion decided to take the slave on a walk with him and his 2 strongest military generals, who needed the stress relief of a punching bag at the time. During this walk, the slave saw an opening on the side of a wall (which normally keeps anyone passing by from falling off the mountain,) and rushed for it, jumping off the mountain and plummeting down to the lake below, tears streaming down his face as he realized that he would finally be free from the torture and suffering of the minion.

The slave did not land in the water, and landed in a nearby pumpkin patch, killing him on impact.

A few days later, a pumpkin rose up from the patch, looking badly bruised, stepped on, and even cracked at some places. With one eye-hole revealing the light of a small orange wisp, a torn and ratty cloak, and one large arm made from a mass of roots and vines, this was the slave child's soul, persisting on as a Yūrei and bound to one situation, the takedown of Anjou.

Skills: Although Expendable is lacking in the physical combat zone, his one large arm made from roots can stretch and move to great lengths, and is surprisingly strong, capable of wielding two-handed weapons without much difficulty.
Deathgrip - Expendable will grab the opponent in the easiest area possible and will root to the ground, causing them to lose their ability to move for as long as Expendable can maintain hold, which at most is up to a minute depending on the size of the one in hold. The catch is, Expendable cannot do anything else while this is happening.

Powers:
"Will" of the Wisp - From the spirit of his mission, the Expendable can call upon his own soul to animate any nearby plant life, within limitations. (He can make up to 1 treant worth of power for minions, equalling about 10 Sunflower Minions, and 25 Wildflower Minions.)
Healing Sap - His "blood" is now made of a magical sap, and drinking it can heal the consumer's wounds with it being painless, but the time it takes to heal depends on the complexity of the situation. It cannot heal full arms or anything of that mass. Fingers can be healed, however.

Equipment: The only notable things that Expendable has is his cloak, covered in badly-sewn patches and with one gaping hole for his arm, and his broken-chain foot.

@Hayazo
I was going to mention that had I remembered to earlier. Moving to char tab now, and expect a post soon.

@KRIEEEG
I'm cool with whatever, as long as Stride gets a new head somehow.

Reign of the Nine-Tailed Fox

@Hayazo
I took out the "magical ailments" part, and took away healing full arms. It can still grow back fingers though.

Reign of the Nine-Tailed Fox

@Hayazo
Did a few edits.
- I stated earlier in the post that his arm is able to hold most two-handed weapons with relative ease, that being said he doesn't carry them around and he can't make efficient use out of them.
- Changed Deathgrip to about a minute-long hold, with variation based on the size of the entity that is grabbed.
- Healing Sap can heal most magical ailments and can heal wounds up to normal size, however it takes effect after a while, and will take longer to heal based off the severity of the situation.
+ If an arm is off, it will take a few years to grow back if even possible
+ If it's a cold, it will heal in about 5.5 hours.
+ Cannot cure cancer, malaria, or anything of the sort. We're talking borderline infections.

Hopefully this helps.

Don't mind me, dropping off an application

*Moved to char tab*

Kill the Heroes! (Sorry, we're full for now)

I just realized again.

That's not drool, that's blood mixed with drool!

@KRIEEEG
It's the fucking creme-de-la-creme of sheer greatness.

Kargool the Vanillite

@Iatos
Kargool was excited for this mission. It's been a while since he went out into the field, and he was looking forward to actually helping with this one. Aside from these benefits, this would probably help jumpstart him into a good name to join the guild. He floated behind Relay the entire trip to the mission location with a wide smile on his face, his old Envirolock badge gleaming in the sunlight. While he was walking, he looked up and happened to see a Pelipper fly overhead. He wondered if his old buddies managed to write back fast enough to respond and send a message back.
