Pokemon: Valkyrie league!

I apologise for the huge image.

@Birdboy There is a mention of a canon character here; no actual relationship between them and my character, but I can remove it if need be.

Lucida "Luz" Prieto - The Toxic Streamer

Lucida "Luz" Prieto

Name: Lucida "Luz" Prieto

Age: 19

Pronouns: She/Her

Trainer Type: Poison Specialist/Streaming Idol

Hometown: Porto Marinada, Paldea

Appearance: Lucida is petite, 5' 2" tall with a slim build and thin limbs. Her pale blonde hair is often tied up, usually in twin tails but the exact style varies.

As should be obvious, Lucida likes to style herself in eye-catching and extravagant ways. Frilly clothing, make-up and coloured contacts in bold, but not always bright, colours.

Personality: When on stream Lucida tries to be high energy and enthusiastic, putting on a bit of an act to act in a cutesier way than normal. At the same time, she doesn’t try to fully hide her mean streak or occasional toxicity as she finds that this actually plays well with her audience, so long as she doesn’t go too far or pick the wrong target.

Off stream she tends to be a lot calmer and more lowkey; finding her stream persona to be a little draining. When away from the camera she is more focused and professional and can be surprisingly business minded and calculating in the way she approaches things.

History: Born and raised in Paldea in the beautiful coastal town of Porto Marinada, Lucida knew from an early age what she wanted to be. A singer/musician and a famous streamer. Music was something she was exposed to a lot as a child with both of her parents being big music fans, though they were not musicians themselves, and the idea of making music of her own was something that greatly appealed to her. Streaming, meanwhile, was something that she saw other people doing and it seemed like a good way to share music that also meshed well with her outgoing personality.

Unfortunately it turned out that Lucida had almost no talent for either singing, playing instruments or writing music; she did pick up a thing or two about editing music, but her dream of being a musician died young. Even so she still wanted to become a streamer and decided to instead focus on becoming an online personality. That didn’t seem like enough though so she decided to take up Pokemon battling since that was always popular and would allow her to compete with other big streamers, as well as a way to incorporate her love of Poison types into what she did. Lucida already had two Pokemon that joined her on her streams already, her Glimmet Bauble and Chunk the Wooper, who were more than happy to go along with her plan.

Lucida tried this for a few years but found little success, as by this point the Levincia Gym Leader Iono had already established a solid fan base and trying to break into that realm where she was already queen proved to be exceedingly difficult. Things took a turn for the worse when she was caught on stream making some toxic comments towards Iono in frustration as constantly being compared to her, which led to her losing many of the small audience she had and being semi-cancelled by her rabid fan base.

Coming to the conclusion that it was unlikely she would ever find success in Paldea following that incident, Lucida decided to try her luck in another region and after some thought came up with the idea that the distant and snowy region of Sinnoh far from home would be a good place to restart her journey and make a name for herself with a fresh audience.

Goals: To become the most popular streamer, of course. And if she can beat a bunch of gyms, become the Champion of a few different regions and make a name for herself as a trainer at the same time, then all the better.

Pokemon: Valkyrie league!

@Birdboy You mention in the rules no Ultra Beasts or Legendaries/Mythicals. I assume Paradox Pokémon aren't allowed either?

Pokemon: Valkyrie league!

I'd be interested in this and I have a couple of characters I could use.

Digimon: Recompilation

---

Jellymon

---

When it was clear that no one was going to respond to her, Jellymon lowered her hand and let out a sigh. Well, she couldn’t exactly blame these human things for having so many questions; she could only imagine what it was like to be dragged into a whole other world and to be confronted with all sorts of new information and new creatures and so on. Although, come to think of it, maybe she had gone through something similar when she had left the Net Ocean for the first time?

Leaving the water and going onto the land, breathing air and using her legs for the first time must have been kind of like travelling to a whole new world, right? It must have been, but unfortunately a lot of that part of her life was kind of just a blur. Almost everything about living in the ocean, really.

She understood, but still; Jellymon kind of wished they’d save all of this talking under after Dominimon had explained everything. I mean, it wasn’t like she didn’t have a bunch of questions too. She loved meeting new people and asking them all about themselves and their lives and here she had a bunch of people from an entirely different world she could ask about. Did they have oceans there too? How many different kinds of humans were there and what did they look like? What kind of jobs did they have before being summoned?

It’s just that the questions she wanted Dominimon to answer were more important. Jellymon would just have to wait and ask their partner or whatever later.

Speaking of partner’s, which one of these was supposed to be her’s again? Looking around the group, it kind of seemed like everyone was either paired up already or had one of those totem thingies; something that represented a fallen Digimon who would have been their partner. She looked around again, slower and more carefully this time, but it really did look like she was the odd one out here. The others seemed to have found their partners almost immediately after all, but she still didn’t feel any kind of pull or anything.

Wait, if it was possible for a Digimon to be deleted before they could meet their partner, then was the same true for humans? Had they been deleted and couldn’t be summoned, or did she not have one in the first place? Or... was she summoned by mistake?

Suddenly feeling very out of place and maybe just a little bit worried, Jellymon walked right up to Dominimon and began to rapidly tap him on the leg to get his attention.

“Hey, er, big guy? I think maybe my partner is running late. Or, maybe they got lost on the way?”

Jellymon

This was more talking than Jellymon had had to keep track of for a long time. It had been a while since she’d been around so many people all at once and even longer since she’d been around people who had so much to say.

Most of it wasn’t really relevant to her though, so she ignored it. She focused on what Dominimon was saying, because he had the answers to what she wanted to know. Why were they here? He’d said that the Digital World was in grave danger, which was obvious, and that they could help; did that mean stop the Corruption from spreading? Slow it down? Get rid of it entirely? Or what this about a different threat entirely? Either way, he wasn’t sure exactly how the otherworlders, these ‘Digidestined’, were supposed to help with that. A lot of them looked pretty scrawny and useless in a fight, even if they were all a lot taller than her; I mean, she was proof enough that tough things came in small packages, but there was a certain way that people who could handle themselves in a fight held themselves that none of these guys had, except for that Colonel guy.

The girl who grabbed the angry DemiDevimon and the other girl who said all the weird sounding words had some guts too, but that wasn’t the same as what she was talking about.

Apparently partnering with them could help you Digivolve faster? That would help a lot.

Was one of these guys her partner then, or did she not have one? How were you supposed to know which one of these guys was yours? She wasn’t really feeling a pull towards any one in particular. Maybe Dominimon would pair them up later or something.

Keen to get things moving again, Jellymon raised her hand and spoke. “Hey! Bottomline is that we’re here to do something right? Save the world or something? Can we focus on that for now?”

Monster Hunter Highlands

I was thinking Dual Blades for my character. Though Switch Axe or Long Sword would work too.

Monster Hunter Highlands

So what were people thinking of, in terms of weapons?

I haven't made a start on the profile yet, but I have ideas, and I'd prefer not to double up with someone else if possible.

Monster Hunter Highlands

I'd be interested in joining this.

How much Monster Hunter knowledge would you say is preferred? I've played World and Rise but haven't fully finished either.

Digimon: Recompilation

Jellymon

---

It took several moments before Jellymon realised, or rather guessed, what had happened to her. It was quite a disorienting experience to suddenly find your entire surroundings replaced in a single instead, as you can expect; for the soft and tranquil sounds of nature to be replaced by the jarring but gentle cacophony of a room occupied by a dozen or more confused individuals, for the bright and cheerful light of the sun to be replaced by the harsh and all-consuming light of... whatever brought her here and to then be plunged into the relative darkness of a room lit only by torches and illuminated glyphs, for the springy carpet of fresh grass to be replaced by the cold, hard stone flooring.

That was not even getting into the moments leading up to the transition; the teleportation itself may have been almost instantaneous, but Jellymon had been looking at the sky at the time and had seen the arc of light crossing the sky, several arcs of light in fact, before one of them suddenly veered down towards her and she experienced the disconcerting sensation of a force hooking onto something non-physical in the centre of her being and yanking.

She felt dizzy, like a sense of vertigo that comes from an unexpected fall or when there is one more step at the bottom of the stairs than you thought, and the amount of new sensations was overwhelming at first. Nonetheless she pushed back up to her feet and crossed her arms across her chest, presenting an appearance of unaffectedness as she regained her bearing and took in the room.

As expected from the noise she was far from the only Digimon present; many were injured, at least one even in the process of regressing to a weaker form and one projected a sense of power even greater almost as strong as that of GrapLeomon. But there were other creatures too; weird bipedal things with long gangly limbs and fur that only covered the top of their heads. Their similar proportions would lead one to think they were all the same kind of Mon, but the differences in appearance meant that couldn’t be the case.

Before Jellymon could puzzle out anything else the large angelic Digimon began to speak, though rather than provide answers they just prompted more questions. Summoned to the Digital World? As in, these strange creatures came from somewhere else?

Jellymon resisted the urge to scratch her head at that. At least there was one thing that she definitely understood; Dominimon called her here because they needed her aid. Ha! Well that she could do. Providing aid and protection was her job after all. Her role in life. Her chest swelled a little at the idea that the world itself recognised her abilities, though she wasn’t too sure about the whole ‘partner’ thing. She worked alone and had done ever since...

She’d worked alone for a while.

It seemed not everyone was a keen to be of help as she was however, and a particularly loud and obnoxious DemiDevimon launched into a rather profanity-filled tirade directed at the angel. Jellymon tried to parse some more information out of what they were saying, but once they’d filtered all the swear words out all they could really conclude was that DemiDevimon definitely knew more than the rest of them seemed to and that they were also a huge jerk.

Turning to the person closest to them, who just happened to be one of those strange new creatures, Jellymon cocked a gelatinous thumb towards the angry devil as asked; “Did you catch what any of that meant?”

General information

Species: Jellymon

Nickname: Jelly-sensei

Type: Data

Age: Around 12 or 13 years old in human terms. Old enough to no longer consider themselves a child, and therefore more mature than those who do, but not quite an adolescent yet either.

Outstanding details: Jellymon wears a black fabric belt around their middle, which they somehow manage to keep with them even when their body is retracted. It is reminiscent of the kind of belts worn by martial artists, but do Digimon even have things like dojo’s? Where did she pick up the habit?

Body language: Jellymon’s body languages conveys a sense of confidence and, despite the flexibility and squishiness of their body, of solidity. They often stand rigidly upright, with their arms crossed and their feet planted in a wide stance; even with their body retracted, their longest tentacles are often crossed in front of their face. When they move it is with a feeling of purpose and of surety in their actions.

Partner: Itori Kimura (Luluna)

Why were they partnered: Well, when faced with a fresh group of unfamiliar faces, why wouldn’t a Digimon who is so driven to protect and guard others latch on to the one who looks the most passive and unsure of themselves?

Biography

Origin: Jellymon was born in the Net Ocean and though they no longer remember those early days of their life too clearly, the feeling of weightlessness that came with being submerged in water sticks with them.

Role in Digital World: Jellymon considers themselves to be a protector, or a guardian. Of what tends to vary; sometimes a village she came across one day, sometimes a traveller she decides to stick with for a while, sometimes the Digital World as a whole. She’ll see someone or something that she considers to be unprotected or at risk, act as their guardian for a time whether they want it or not, then goes on her way.

General skills: While she is quite well travelled, there aren’t many things that Jellymon would consider herself to be especially good at when it comes to general skills. She can forage and cook well enough to feed herself but is no gourmet chef. She can navigate well enough not to get completely lost but often doesn’t have a set destination in mind to begin with. She can negotiate well enough to earn herself a place to sleep and some food or money for her services, but how much of that is her and how much is other Digimon’s generosity?

The one thing she knows she is good at is teaching. What she does know, she can pass on to others and they tend to learn it pretty well. This includes teaching others how to fight and has done so more than once as part of her self-appointed duties as a guardian, teaching her charges how to protect themselves before moving on.

Special skills: Jellymon knows how to fight. Well, that’s not too special, every Digimon knows how to fights; but Jellymon knows how to fight in a way that most Digimon don’t. Humans would potentially recognize what she does as martial arts, adapted to work with a body that doesn’t appear to have bones, but most Digimon that don’t have those kinds of abilities naturally don’t think to use their bodies in more than the most simplistic, instinctive ways.

Personal history: Jellymon does not quite remember why she first left the Digital Ocean; perhaps it was due to a sense of adventure, perhaps she was following something or was called by something, or maybe it was even an accident. All of her memories of that time are kind of one big blur, a vague impression of swimming through a seemingly endless void, so maybe it was just boredom that drove her onto land.

After that things become clearer. She wandered around by herself for a while, not knowing where to go or how to find her way and not finding any friendly faces to show her. In her naivety she ventured close to a corrupted zone; not so close as to get caught up in its glitches or influence, but close enough that someone or something from within tried to attack her. If it wasn’t for the timely intervention of her sensei, she would have been deleted then and there.

Her saviour was GrapLeomon; a powerful and virtuous Digimon who had taken it upon himself to patrol the borders of the corrupted zone so as to ward away unknowing Digimon such as herself and to prevent any of the mutated Digimon within from exiting. Jellymon was enthralled with them; their strength, the way they fought and their sense of justice. She asked to become their student, to be taught how to fight like they do so that she could fight evil Digimon the way he did.

GrapLeomon was reluctant at first, both to taking on a student and to encouraging such a young Digimon to take on such a dangerous task, but upon learning that she had nowhere else to go and noone to return to he took her in. He taught her how to fight, poorly at first since Jellymon did not have the strength or even the skeletal structure to fight the same way GrapLeomon did, but in time they both learned how to make it work. At the same time, he taught her how to use her strength; when to use it and when not to and how it was often more important to protect than it was to destroy. To preserve good, rather than remove evil. Lofty ideals for one for young, but being as enamoured with her sensei as she was Jellymon took all teachings to heart.

It was the best part of Jellymon’s life, but unfortunately it did not last long as far too soon after they met the pair were attacked by a group of corrupted Digimon who had slipped past GrapLeomon’s regular patrols. They were too numerous for the powerful Digimon to be able to defeat himself, at least while also protecting his student, so he told Jellymon to flee while he stayed to hold them back.

Jellymon fled, running as far as she could before becoming exhausted and collapsing. When she awoke, she was in an area she had never been to before and didn’t know when way to go to get back to where she was. With no way to get back other than aimless wandering, that’s exactly what she did; wandered the Digital World until she came across her first fellow traveller and deciding to travel with them as their guard.

She has no idea if GrapLeomon is still alive, though she is confident he could have won against his opponents, and has no idea when she will ever see him again. In the meantime she wants to make him proud by being a protector to those who need it the way he was to her.

Personality

Positive character traits:

Protective

Fearless

Quick to accept others

Negative character traits:

Headstrong

Pretends to know more than they actually do

Doesn't like to admit that they are wrong or don’t know something

Likes and hobbies:

Travelling

Training

Meeting new people

Dislikes and fears:

Failing to protect someone

The ocean

Motivation: Jellymon wants to be a protector. Usually when she says that she means it in the sense of protecting those directly in front of her, whether that be a single Digimon or a whole village. But there is no denying that the Digital World itself is in trouble right now and in the quiet moments where she is alone, Jellymon thinks to herself that she wants to help protect it too; either to restore it to what it once was, uncorrupted and whole, or just to prevent it from becoming any worse.

It’s probably that desire that led to her being chosen.

General notes: Insists on being called “sensei” at all times by her students.

Digivolution line

Rookie: Jellymon

Spoilers for future digivolutions

Champion: TeslaJellymon

Dark Champion suggestion: Shellmon

Ultimate: Thetismon

Evolution method: When the goals and aspirations of Digimon and partner come together; the desire of the strong to protect and strengthen the weak and the desire of the weak to become stronger. Symbolised by the creation of a Blue Card that allows for Matrix Digivolution.

Dark Ultimate suggestion: Gusokumon

Mega: Amphimon

Evolution method: Biomerge; when partner and Digimon are truly in sync. When the drive to protect the other becomes the drive to fight alongside an equal.

Dark Mega: Regalecusmon

Super Mega: BanchoAmphimon

Description: BanchoAmphimon’s armour diving suit is covered by a sleek, waterproof Gakuran coat worn across her shoulders. This is held in place by the jellyfish units that used to hover around her, which are now attached to the bottom and shoulders of the coat to prevent it from floating away while underwater. The coat provides protection against some elemental attacks and is insulated against both electricity and fire.

She carries a wooden shinai sword, which she carried propped against her shoulder when it is not being used in battle.

Moveset:

Bancho cutter – Swings her shinai sword to send out a cutting blade of water; these can be either a rapid series of quick swings for a salvo of smaller blades, or a single powerful swing for a large, devastating cut

Thunder Raiment – Electrifies the Gakuran coat, further increasing the protection it offers, damages those who make physical contact with it and enhances BanchoAmphimon’s physical strength

Justice Breaker – A simple electrified axe kick that produces a small shockwave of electricity on impact

Blazing Heart Crystal – Fires a beam of energy from her fist to encase the opponent in ice that also burns the opponent. Blue fire in contained within the ice, damaging those caught within it and spreading from a partial freeze.

Dark Super Mega: Let's hope we never have to find out
