Wow, it seems that everything on earth has been keeping me from your RP since it has been posted, Diego. *Laughed* From an all-day adventure insanely slaving around to set up my mom's new classroom, to a virus ripping through my Computer that only allowed me to open windows after twenty minutes of waiting (Si, no exaggeration) to finally PC's infamous crashes. I'm sorry I didn't get this in sooner but.. here it is. Carrisa is demanding Computer time ASAP, but I will get caught up on everyone's Bios and posts later on tonight, and post by tomorrow, after a return from Holiday world. Sorry, would've messaged you on Msn, but as you know, a certain someone is hogging it. *Coughed* But yeah! Mercii, and enjoy. >D!
Character name: Venomous
Species of Pokemon: Umbreon <3
Age: Seventeen
Appearance: Venomous, once an Umbreon of extreme elegance, one whose sleek, ebony coat stood out only in the brightest on moonlit nights, had always taken for granted her ability to blend in with the shadows, and make her presence unknow. When she awoke as a Human girl, she was astounded to find pale ivory skin, skin white as the snow, and not only that, but incredibly sensitive to the sun. Upon awakening in mid-afternoon, Venomous was incredulous to find herself immersed in what felt like a great blanket of fire, but what was really a series of light sunburns gracing along her long, slender arms, and from her upper arms all the way down to her tiny, doll-like hands. Venomous would discover her fingernails painted, simultaneously black and bright yellow. Her eyes, upon checking her new Human reflection in a pool of shallow water, would find that only her eyes had remained the same as in her Pokemon form, being a piercing crimson red, eyes so startling in hue and appearance that they would freeze anyone who gazed into them too long right in their tracks. Her lips, the smallest and daintiest of her features, would be an irregular shade of red, not quite so dark as her startling red eyes, but dark enough to not pass for a regular fleshy tone. Though they were darker than the typical person's, it was quite obvious that she wore no make-up whatsoever, save for a dark line beneath her eyes, a most permanent eyeliner. Her hair, the same ebony shade as her fur once was, appears to have a mind of its own, cascading wildly down all the way to her waist. Slightly wavy and incredibly thick, Venomous has found that even such a simple thing as pulling it back into a Ponytail proves to be a tedious task, as her new mane will behave at its own will. Though her hair has proven itself unmanagable, it is something Venomous will come to treasure, for its exotic beauty, and not only that, but the way it shines and glows particularly when under moonlight. On a side note, Venomous' wily mane isn't completely solid black. At night, several bright yellow tendrils stand out amid the monotone mass, but strangely enough vanish come daylight. Upon her forehead, in the place where a normal Umbreon sports a perfect, circular yellow ring, Venomous sports that same, bright familiar ring, and it shines, dully but still noticeable in daylight, and brilliantly at night, so much that anyone and everyone who happens to catch a glimpse of it can hardly stand the sight. Her attire consists of a form-hugging tight black silken dress, one that appears as a tight leathery corset from bust to upper abdomen, and is fringed at the top and bottom with gauzy material, and has the discreet shape of a crescent moon carved into the front. The bottom of the dress billows out, in a pleated shirt that falls only to about mid-thigh, and is plain save for an enormous black bow placed on the back of it, just above her waist, but serves no purpose in the overall design on her dress, being just a decoration. Her entire thighs are visable, but starting just above her knees, Venomous wears socks that are ringed simultaneously with black and yellow, just like her socks. Upon her feet are soft, black boots that run up to mid-calf, plain save for imprints of Houndoom up near the top. Two earrings dangle from her ears, both in the shape of Murkrow. Upon her back, she wears a cute, tiny backpack in the shape of a Chibi Absol, its mouth stretched wide open in a roar. A tiny Eevee keychain dangles from one of its soft, razor claws. Inside the backpack, Venomous was incredibly confused to find a large, soft plushie. A Buizel, and nothing else, for not much else can fit inside it.
Personality: Venomous tends to have the personlity of your stereotypical Umbreon, sort of quiet, contemplating. The majority of conversations she has is internal, and with herself. When conversing with another, she prefers for them to make the initial interaction, with her slowly warming and loosening up to them as she gets to know them better. When someone gets particularly close to her, they will realize that Venomous is quite talkative, and will constantly bring up things that most people would consider unusual and out of the ordinary.. She has quite a curious mind, and is always considering new possibilities, questioning everything silently to herself. She rarely ever shares these thoughts and opinions with anyone else, though, for due to the way she was brought up, she has a sceret silent fear that no one would take interest in them.. No one would care one way or the other what she thought, or more importantly.. what she felt. If anyone would listen, and listen closely, they would find that Venomous is incredibly emotional, even moody at times, but has a heart of solid gold. She doesn't wish for much, just for someone like her, someone who understands her, and prays every night that they will appear to her one day soon.. Venomous hasn't always been such a brooding Pokemon. It has only been due to a recent series of events that have molded her into this shy, wary Pokemon. As an Eevee, she was sweet, and clever, and most importantly, blissfully happy. The potential to revert back to this way is still present, the hard part is getting Venomous to believe it.
History: Venomous was born by rather ordinary means, as most, if not all cpative Pokemon are born, extracted as a mere egg from the Solaceon Town Daycare. Her to-be trainer, a budding young teenage Pokemon enthusiast by the name of Dante Itachi, had finally collected enough prize money from his one and only fixated passion, Pokemon Contests, he used it to place his two prize-winning Espeons, who would come to be known as Venomous' parents, in hopes that their beauty could be combined to create a much faster, more beautiful Eevee.. One perfect in every way. It would have not only exceptional charm, but speed, and also strength as well. It would be his champion Espeon, one who could not only dazzle the judges and crowds with its superb looks in the first round on contests, but who would excel in the battling portion as well, and not only that, but prove superior in Gym battles and tag team battles of every variety. Yes, he sought out to create the perfect Pokemon. Weeks went by, and Dante must have received what were hundred of eggs containing little Eevees. But upon hatching each and every one of them, to his dismay, he discovered that one had an ear that bent at an odd shape, one wasn't perky enough, this one wasn't initially fast enough, this one's sheen was off.. And so one by one, instead of the hatched Eevees receiving a new partner, a new best friend and trainer to battle alongside with, they were all carelessly tossed away, all released into the thick grassland that surrounded Solaceon, near the mouth of the dark caves notoriously housing only Unown, and left to fend for themselves. Dante hadn't planned for such a failure in his plan, in fact, he had been planning to be able to keep the majority of the funds he had accumulated, but soon this proved false as well as they were all squandered away on his Espeons' stay at the Daycare.. pumping out egg after egg, never quite producing the perfect Eevee.. Finally, Dante decided to admit defeat, and withdraw his Espeons, who were exhausted in both body and mind by this point, as all this breeding was getting them nowhere. It wasn't necessarily the fatigue of his Espeons he was concerned about, shamelessly enough. It was the cash flow.. which had quite rapidly begun to diminish from his pocket. With his two precious Pokemon at the Daycare, breeding for the time-being, Dante hadn't any way to earn an income, and could barely afford to feed himself anymore, much less keep paying for his Espeons to breed. So on the eve of Christmas, he set out to retrieve his pets, no, not because he had a sack full of Christmas toys for them. But because there was a contest the next day, a Christmas-themed contest up in Snowpoint to celebrate the holidays. Of course, Dante had hastily arranged to make an appearance up there, for a shot to win the cash prize which, because this Contest was a special celebration, doubled normal cash prizes. When Dante extracted his dear Espeons from the DAycare, he was surprised to see Sona, his female Espeon, standing guard over an egg. Removing it from her, he smiled a bit sadly to see that it was the very last one. He seriously considered heaving it into Lake Acuity, but then decided to keep it.. (What the heck?) And just release it as soon as it hatched. The hike to Snowpoint took longer than expected, and was more than enough time for the lone egg to hatch. It did, the next morning, just as Dante was approaching the isolated town of Snowpoint, coincidentally, and hatched into a beautiful, petite little Eevee. This Eevee was like no other. She radiated an obvious joy, and love already for the life she had yet to experience. Her cries were shrill, and enthusiastic, typical of a baby Eevee, any Eevee really, and she had a certain glow about her that Dante had never seen more eminent in his entire life. Not only this, but her eyes were perfectly straight, and just the right distance apart, her eyes weren't oddly colored, and the thick fur ringing her thin little neck was more of a silky texture than actual furriness. Not only this, but she ran like the wind, and had great endurance for an Eevee of her age and size, as to Dante's surprise, she raced him the remainder of the way to Snowpoint upon bursting from her eggshell confinement, and actually won! Dante finally had the Eevee he had been hoping for, had been dreaming for. She would someday make a swift, beautiful Espeon, just like her mother and father before her, and would not only win him appeals in contests, but prove boss in the battle division as well. And as for the Eevee, she was treated like a Queen. Never made to walk if she didn't want to, instead being carried by Dante himself, set down on the ground only when training: Be it battling, or running.. She was fed first of his three Pokemon, and when running on the last of their supplies, ate even before him. Venomous was the name given to the sweet little Eevee, and she thought that she was in love. She thought that she would love Dante, the trainer her showered her with affection and attention forever. And Dante, thought that he would love the Eevee forever, even more when she actually evolved for him.. And it was nearing that time.. One night, as Venomous lay curled up against a sleeping Dante beneath the stars, her pure heart bubbled over with so much combined happiness and love, that she vowed to do whatever made Dante happiest. A tiny grin on her mischevious furry little face, she stared up at the full moon, which was becoming increasingly more and more beautiful to her with each passing second. As she was enveloped with love, obviously smitten with her trainer, she felt what could only be described as a sudden "burst" in her happiness, to which a faint glowing was produced from her tiny body, and she seemed to be morphing of sorts.. When Dante awoke, he was horrified to discover not his precious little Eevee standing before him, but a new creature, a darker creature.. A black creature, shining faintly with bright yellow rings. He couldn't believe this was his adorable little Venomous.. until he stared deep within those eyes, those eyes that had shifted so far beyond recognition as well, and noticed a familiar light in them.. A familiar light of love for him. Still, it didn't matter to Dante. All was ruined, all hope was lost.. His plans, his hopes, his dreams for that Pokemon.. were all gone.. all lost.. and there was no way to reverse what she had become. In a rage, Dante hurled his big at her, and Venomous, caught off-guard, was knocked forceably to the ground. Before she had the time to recover, as since she was an Umbreon now, she was much slower than what she had been.. Dante was at her side, ranting on about how stupid she was for letting the evolution occur.. How she had just made the biggest mistake of her life.. How she would regret it.. And the most deafening blow to the Umbreon.. how much he hated her. His love had been fickle all along, and this was what tore the Umbreon apart the most. Not the merciless blows he pounded upon her bruised bones and flesh, not all the blood he had spilled from her body.. Not how she was never given food, EVER, and how when she had it, it was only due to the occaisional kindness of her parents, who were both happy to be back in Dante's original favor. Still, Dante would not release the Umbreon. He kept her for battle, to take all the blows of the other Pokemon, to protect his Espeons at whatever cost, no matter how much pain she was in, and the more damage they received from the opponent's attacks, the harder she was beaten. Venomous was miserable for a time, crying on the inside, bleeding on the out.. She had fallen into the deepest pit of despair. But soon, her raw wounds, both physical and emtional healed, and as he could never quite manage to kill her, she only became stronger. Or so she thought. She learned to control her emotions, and her displeasure for whatever she was forced into doing for him. She learned.. To be the protector, and not the protected. But more than anything.. she learned.. that she was the lowest of the low, and that any amout of kindness shown toward her.. was definitely not deserved. And so she became unattached, unattached to everything and everyone living in this world.. This little Umbreon knew what it was to be an outcast, an unfulfilled failure, and wondered why the great God Arceus had even wasted his energy on creating her. But as she would soon come to know, her purpose was alot greater than she or Dante could ever even have imagined.
Special ability: Venomous' special ability is somewhat similar to the attack "Moonlight", which she knew as a Pokemon. This gives her healing abilities, not only for herself, but for others. There is, however, a catch to these extraordinary abilities. The abilities seem to strengthen significantly at night, and are most effective under he light of the full moon. During day, however, that in which makes the dark types weaker, Venomous' powers are barely visable, and only extend to being able to hear minor cuts and bruises, sometimes small gashes. When directly under the sunlight, she has no powers whatsoever.
Roleplay sample:
"Venomous, come out, NOW!"
The Umbreon cringed upon hearing the sound of her own name, the very name she couldn't remember ever being said in anything less than a tone of ferocity. It had been so long.. So long since he had said it with soft affection, with the gentle kindness he had never in the past been hesitant to lavish on her. Within the dark confines of her Pokeball, which the Umbreon hadn't left for days, for maybe a week even, she became aware of a deep rumbling sound, ahd hearing this, she winced, slender ears flying back behind her head as her eyes squeezed shut.
It's been.. too long this time.. She thought to herself, knowing that there was no need to utter these words aloud. She was practically faint with hunger, yet she knew the reason her trainer was calling her out wasn't to satiate her. Shaking her ebony coat out, the Umbreon lowered her head submissively, crouching down into the battle stance Dante had come to expect from her each time she made an outside appearance. As Venomous was sucked from the circular device, and began to materialize, she was suddenly struck by a defeaning blow. The Umbreon was knocked immediately backward, crimson eyes falling uncontrollably shut as she was thrust painfully against the ground. Her ears twitched in the slightest as she picked up the sound of cheering coming from several feet away, and then.. the voice. The chilling, frozen voice..
"Get up, NOW!" Thin side heaving harshly, Venomous again staggered to her feet, crimson eyes narrowing downward in concentration, her head bowing toward the ground as she leapt immediately forward, hoping that though she was obviously not the fastest Pokemon on the field, she could make up for lost ground.
"Bre!" She called out defiantly, the breath still escaping her parted lips in gasps that were ragged, and irregular. From somewhere behind her, off to her left, out of the corner of her eye, Venomous caught a brief glimpse of the form of an Espeon. Her mother..? Her father..? She couldn't tell. And she dared not turn her head around to look all the way, for she knew what the dire consequences would be..
"Venomous! Use Moonlight!"
"Bre?!" The Umbreon questioned hopefully, eyes shining with a look of surprise as she glanced behind her to stare at her trainer, the very tip of her tail beginning to wag in the slightest. Her heart practically skipped a beat as she attempted to register within her mind what Dante was saying.. But she hadn't the time to get all mushy and sentimental. Judging from how fast the opposing Pokemon had struck her when she had just emerged from the Pokeball, she barely had any time to lose. Venomous braced herself, and summoning up the last smidgeon of energy she had, she threw her head back to gaze up at the.. SUN?! Venomous moaned loudly in pain as the blazing light reflected within her eyes, and seeming to notice the glowing ball of heat for the first time, she glanced behind her in confusion, to which Dante was giggling insanely, keeled over, pudgy hands pressed against a stomach to match.
Master...?! She thought wildly, knees buckling under the extreme source of heat, her chest seeming to spasm violently as the rays shone against her body, penetrating her being, and boiling her to the core.
Master.. She thought weakly, collapsing to the soft grass beneath her, as unable to take the harsh light of day any longer, she twtiched uselessly, a cold sweat of poison breaking out across her sleek body, oozing from the pores of her skin, and washing over her, a sickening purple wave of acid. Venomous cringed, being too weak to actually shake the acidic venom from her fur, and simply just lying there, helplessly in the grass, flinching harshly as the poison ate away at her stilled body.
What.. What's happening..? She thought, of course to which no one would reply. No one would ever reply. Upon seeing the thin film of poison accumulate upon his Umbreon's body, the boy smirked, the corners of his think lips curling up menacingly as he only began to laugh harder.
"What's the matter, Venomous? A bit too Venomous for your own taste? Gawd, I didn't know what in hell I was thinking when I chose that name. It would've made no sense at all had you become what I wanted.. But now, i'm glad I did. It suits you."
The laughter sounded again, and this time, the Espeon at the boy's side joined in along with him, Her mother, Venomous now knew from the short, high-pitched squeals. Venomous' eyes squeezed shut, and the heat and light was so intense upon her fallen body, she couldn't help but squeeze out a couple of crystal tears. The laughter was getting it to her.. The laughter at her pain, the laughter at her utter misery.. The misery she had been putting up with for years, now. Or maybe it wasn't just the laughter. The laughter combined with her sickening pain, much more than just incovenience and discomfort, at being forced to lay beneath the merciless sun.
The..battle.. She thought between gasps, wondering faintly what had happened to the Pokemon who had just tackled her to the ground.. The cheering coming from just several feet away.
"Kai!" Dante interrupted, turning with a grin away from Venomous, and instead motioning over to who Venomous could only assume was her father.
But that wasn't.. possible. Venomous knew for certain that she was always called out as a last resort, a defense mechanism for when either her mother or father were fainted in more difficult battles.
A tank.. That's all I am to him. She thought with a sigh of exasperation. I come out, ready to protect him, and them.. And that's all I am. All i'll ever be.. A tank.. Dented, scratched, bruised... No matter.. I'm solid. Nothing can take me down.. But that doesn't mean.. that it hurts me.. any less.
With this, Venomous just let her dainty head drop to the ground. The tears kept coming, however, and now fell from closed lids to trickle down her face, and into the lush carpet of grass she now lay upon.
"Kai! Use Dig!"
Venomous had no time to react before her acute ears picked up a heavy scratching sound, the tell-tale noise of something burrowing deep underground. Her brow shot quickly up, and as Venomous struggled to remove herself from harm's way, the earth cracked beneath her, giving way to a slender, lilac figure, who lifted her sleek form with just a toss of his feline-like head, tossing her several feet into the air before she came crashing back down, harshly on her right side. As her limp form made contact with the rocky earth, an immense cracking sound was heard as coming from her, and as she let her mouth fall open to release a pained cry, she received a swift kick to the head.
"You... shut up, or i'll make your death ten times worse! That's what you'd like, Venomous, huh? I know the way you think.. I know the way you look at me.. with hate in your eyes.. after I fed you, I cared for you, I never let your dainty-ass paws even touch dirt! And all for this. ..What a waste of my time.."
Letting off only a sneer of disgust, Dante gave but a single backward wave to the limp form of his Umbreon, beginning to walk in the direction he had seemingly just come.
"Sona.. Kai.." With this, Dante's gaze fell upon Venomous one final time, and he sighed, shaking his head back and forth at the pitiful sight, not feeling one ounce of remorse as he simply just turned his chilling gaze elsewhere, brushing an ebony strand of hair from his icey eyes and beginning to walk slowly away from the three Pokemon.
"Finish her off.." The Espeons' pale eyes gleamed with delight., to which they chuckled at one another, licking their lips as they loomed overtop the helpless Umbreon, bodies trembling with anticipation as they moved in for the final kill...
