Species: Victini
Victini is the result of a last-ditch genetic experiment by the greatest legendary and human minds during the final months of the Great Exarch War. Designed to provide the power and guidance for a worldship single-handedly, Victini was blessed with boundless energy provided by a highly-efficient self-sustaining generator which is the closest “natural” thing to a fision reactor that could be imagined, helped along by a little bit of what the less-technically-minded wouldn’t mind calling “magic”.
Gender: Ungendered (originally male)
Age: 18
From the file compiled before Kevin was transferred:
PTSD: Almost all of Kevin’s other issues stem from the trauma he experienced during the Great Exarch War. His triggers are multiple and result in unreasonably-powerful responses. Due to the intensity of these outbursts and the numerous quality of his triggers, he’s been deemed dangerous to himself and to others. Known triggers include:
Being stared at for too long
Multiple people saying the same thing at the same time, be this chanting or singing or entirely coincidental
Whispering in his ears
Using the pronoun “we” to refer to a single entity (please keep him away from self-aware multiple-person systems)

Sleep disorders: Kevin suffers from night terrors, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder, and sleep paralysis. He is at his most dangerous and least predictable while asleep or falling asleep; induction of sleep in a controlled environment is recommended.
Depersonalization disorder: Likely due to the relatively-recent transference of Kevin’s consciousness to the Victini chassis from his previous human body, Kevin is often struck with depression and has reported several instances of out-of-body experiences on a nearly-daily basis. The lengendaries figure that he’ll get over it eventually, but decided to report it anyway.
Drug abuse: Due to his fear of sleeping, Kevin has taken to preemptive use of Awakening to prevent himself from losing consciousness. As he goes longer and longer without sleep, he must take it more often, and blood tests show high levels of blood toxicity due to this. It is also possible that his fight to stave off sleep is the cause of his sleep paralysis, though there is no evidence to suggest that were he to stop using it his night terrors would leave him.
At the bottom have been added:
Antisocial personality disorder: Has a remarkable disregard for personal space, often invading others’ quarters. Patient has tendency to take any unlocked door as an invitation to enter. Suggestions that this is not okay behavior have not yet resulted in a deviation for the better. Patient interrupts constantly.
Kleptomania? Compulsive Hoarding? An assortment of objects, including a few reported stolen, have been found, repeatedly (even after giving them back) in a neat pile in Kevin’s room. Includes any writing utensils given to it, and anything that is not glued down. Keep away from those who require specific objects for stability: remember to note on the whiteboard to check for stolen items in its room.
Kevin is an odd-looking creature. The first way that you would describe him would be as a rabbit or bunny, but most rabbits don’t have wings instead of a tail, or odd red markings up their ears and on their extremities to contrast the rest of their pure-white fur, or very large fangs protruding down to about the level of their chin. Kevin does.
He’s not much larger than a large rabbit: about one foot tall when standing bipedal, extended about half a foot if you take his ears into account at full height. His wings span about one foot as well, certainly not long enough to actually be of any use, even given that the creature is much lighter than one might imagine just from glancing at him.
When in flight, Kevin supplements this appearance with wing extensions and an odd sort of tail made of controlled fire. He’s explained that this is purely cosmetic, as he achieves flight through psychic locomotion, but doesn’t like to “look like (he’s) being dragged about by the seat of (his) hypothetical pants”.
Kevin isn’t in Osmund’s because of anything that he did wrong. Coincidence just conspired against him, and now he’s a broken tool with too much power. So he’s not what you might expect of a typical patient in an insane asylum for berserk supers: he doesn’t have particularly-troublesome anger problems, there’s no rap sheet detailing hundreds of murders, and he’s all-around pretty normal! Well, as normal as someone with so many disorders can be…
Kevin’s one of those people who can’t stand to do nothing. Heck, when he was twelve he decided to go on a big adventure to defeat some make believe bad guys and become the champion of his region: and he did it! But then, instead of admitting “Well alright, that’s enough of that!” he went on to do it in four more regions! And then only stopped because the whole gym system was shut down when the infected started rampaging.
So obviously, not only does he need to keep busy, but if he does something, he’s going to do it until it’s done and done. Kevin’s not one of those people to half-bake something and call it a day, be that something a pie or be it saving the world or be it making a friend.
And when faced with the Trolley Dilemma, Kevin always insists that he’d save all six people.
Not that Kevin’s a shining example of all that’s right in the world. No, even he has his personality issues: some are described as disorders, but others are less well-defined. He takes failure too hard, and he cares a bit too much what others think of him. He’s likely to get angry if he thinks people are being stupid, and given how opinionated he is, he tends to think that a lot. At least he doesn’t normally have trouble controlling his anger and will mostly resort to spitting at you and yelling loudly.
But Kevin’s mostly a decent guy.
Sexual Orientation: Whatever the word would be for a non-gendered rabbit-like species that is attracted to female humans.
Hypnophobia: As a sufferer of both night terrors and sleep paralysis, Kevin dreads sleep and has taken to extreme measures to avoid it.
Scopophobia: Kevin has a specific subset of this fear: he only has trouble if one stares at him in an unblinking manner for too long.
The fear of dripping: Whether it’s water or (even worse if it’s) something oil-like, Kevin can’t stand to be near something that’s dripping. A trigger for his PTSD.
Per design, Kevin has an “endless” supply of energy, which he can easily (with just the touch of a hand and some application of will) transfer to others, whether they be living or specially-designed machinery. This energy accelerates healing in biological recipients as well as making them feel energized and banishing physical fatigue. It is unknown if Kevin actually has a maximum output, but if it exists, it’s unreasonably high: controlling and powering all of the systems on a worldship, including the energy weapons and shields, for days on end didn’t tap out his power, so it’s unlikely that anything will. Due to the experimental nature of the Victini design, no one knows what long-term effect this has, either, though the minds involved did shrug and say “Prolly bad” (in more scientific terms, of course) and the resident time traveler placed a hand on Kevin’s shoulder and said “Don’t overdo it.” Whatever that means.
His main form of offense seems to be the release of large sums of this energy, most-often in non-directed radial blasts, which cause an increase in the energy of the particles of those things surrounding him. While this might mean only an uncomfortable increase in temperature, it could also mean nearly-instantaneous disintegration as everything’s particles become excited to the point of becoming unglued.
Due to being a fire type and psychic type Pokemon, Kevin has access to “superhuman” powers in these fields, though nothing particularly amazing for other Pokemon of those types or even on par with the other legendaries. The red parts of Kevin’s fur can burst into flame, and he can ignite his own breath somewhat like a flamethrower. His psychic powers extend to powerful telepathy and telekinesis, strong enough to allow him to communicate and to float about and toss things at people and open door knobs.
The Victini design, borrowing from the high mental capacities of the legendaries who designed it, provides Kevin with, as he describes it “a faster processor.” He can slow down and speed up his perception of time much as one can change the clock on a PC’s processing unit, up to a ceiling and down to a floor. This has no effect on other’s perception of time and cannot allow him to undo anything from a previous time, but is helpful for those split-second moments when a lot must be processed or those dull hours when he’s sitting not sleeping while everyone else is enjoying their particular brand of nightmare.
The design also shares some other traits with the other legendaries, including extreme longevity (hypothetically, as no one is quiet sure how much expending so much energy will reduce Kevin's life span), the ability to survive in extremely-inhospitable environments (Kevin banished himself to the far reaches of outer space after his first outburst), the ability to become invisible, the ability to teleport (though this generally takes a long while to perfect, and Kevin [though he has been learning abnormally quickly, which is largely attributed to his previous experience with telepathy and with his nearly constant exposure to psychic Pokemon for a third of his life] is not to the point where he trusts his own abilities in this regard. He's measured his margin of error at an unacceptable 3-mile diameter, which is fine if you're just teleporting around outerspace, but not so fine if you're trying to target a room in a specific building, or something), and the ability to generate energy shields.
A Masterball was sent with Kevin, and has been required a few times to stop his rampages. It places him instantly in temporary stasis which is broken only upon external release, and has allowed his caretakers to safely bring him to places where his tantrums will cause less damage (or to transport him where he does not wish to go when he’s being ornery).
None of the designs to interface with Kevin’s energy-granting ability were passed along to the Asylum. Any inquiry into maybe getting some of the tech would result in a terse “No.”
Full disclosure: many of the characters and situations described in this bio are from this story. It's fantastic, you should go check it out. You won't find Victini mentioned anywhere or anyone named Kevin (if I remember correctly), but the whole series is still worth the read.
