Being a Pignite and all, if I had a different backstory, I would gladly have you as my Brobusken. But if you read my current backstory it doesn't really fit. Sorry

Actually both sides have a point :0 extol biologically, you'd still need a female of the same species to provide DNA. Sure, a male guardian can contribute, but it'll take more than that to be actually related.
But screw that! PLOT!!!!!

ectobiology is essentially using dittos to create offspring from the guardians which creates the main characters
thus they have to be the same
do you seriously think we haven't discussed this

i think i can make your modus suggestion work, drega. it'll take a bit of thinking, but i'm still open to other suggestions.

Where has that been discussed? Because I see no reason why ectobiology should follow the rules of breeding. The ecto biology of the trolls didn't work anything like normal troll reproduction after all, so why should ours?

Who's our Light player?
Xaber, I want my Light back.
/this won't make sense to anyone but Drega.
But really, I should have corrected my title when muffinz said she wouldn't join.
Also, I too have to finish my bio. But it's hard. Hard and nobody understands.
I know I missed when ectobiology was discussed in the chat, but I think we should all be our own clones and so do our guardians. Having same species guardian is sort of... boring?
Also, reading this thread again is sort of interesting, because it's filled with

You can have it if you want; I'd be happy to swap aspects.
Also: do we want anybody to act as a semi-DM, who can organise the story and write for consorts, carapaces, etc.?

GIANT SUMMARY POST OF EVERYTHING SINCE THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA
I'll edit it every now and then to keep it up to date. Tell me if I've got anything wrong!
*slumps face first onto desk*
- I hope you like nested spoilers:
- Denizens:
- Time: Dialga
Space: Palkia
Light: Cresselia
Void: Darkrai
Doom: Yveltal
Life: Xerneas
Breath: Tornadus [therian?]
Blood: Cobalion
Mind: Reshiram
Heart: Zekrom
Hope: Jirachi
Rage: Giratina
- Characters:
- Spark Eletran – Glitch (Chespin) – Male – Mage of Breath – chestnutGladiator (CG):
- Basic info:
Fetch Modus: Bug Modus (every time he captchalogues something, its graphics become glitched and broken, making it harder to identify. In compensation, any of the objects captchalogued can be used at any time)
Strife Specibus: Bladekind
- Bio:
- First of all, it would be better to talk about his older brother: Ashura. A Chespin, like Glitch, he was found by a lonely Sceptile while he adventured through the lands. The Sceptile happily took care of Ashura, taking him back to where he lived. A few years later, when the Sceptile was with Ashura in an expedition once again, the Chespin accidentally wandered off, but ended up finding something: An egg, that hatched into yet again a Chespin, this time being named Glitch.
It didn't take long, however, until the Sceptile passed away. Thus, Ashura ended up having to take care of Glitch, using whatever limited knowledge he had at the time and becoming much more serious and quiet as time passed, though still very caring for the younger brother.
Glitch himself, though, is extremely cheerful and optimistic. Also relatively talkative, the little Chespin is friends with mostly everyone he meets. He's always sure of himself, knowing what to do no matter what. A fan of roleplaying, he has a small quirk of using actions between asterisks from time to time in chat. He also doesn't swear very often and loves knights, admiring his "father"'s species, Sceptiles, for their powerful Leaf Blade due to its similarities with actual blades.
Thus, as his strife specibus, he utilizes Bladekinds, starting off with improvised swords because of his lack of an ACTUAL one. As for his fetch modus, he has the Bug Modus: Not the literal sort of "bugs", the one that is used as a type, instead his works in that every time he captchalogues something its graphics become glitched and broken, making it harder to identify. In compensation, any of the objects captchalogued can be used at any time: The only problem is knowing with ones he should actually use.
- Classpect:
- MAGE OF BREATH - The Mage of Breath knows all there is to know about the wind. They can predict incoming storms, both physical and metaphorical, and cannot be blown off track.
- Dregadude – Scoville (Pignite) – Male – Seer of Heart – abscondingGauntlet (AG):
- Basic Info:
- Colour: #b83818
Fetch Modus: Sharpshooter Modus (he has to shoot the card with fire in order for it to drop its item.)
Quirk: None.
Strife Specibus: Hammerkind
- Bio:
- So I guess as a Tepig egg he crashed into the ground on a quiet acre of farmland where he was found, unfortunately, by a Breloom who owned the land. He took the egg back and raised it until it hatched. (Well, if truth be told, he was convinced by his wife, Leavanny, to raise it. He didn't want to take care of it at first, seeing as it had dropped out of the sky and everything, but since they couldn't have a child of their own he agreed to at least wait until it hatched. So he did.) I said before it was unfortunate that Scoville was found by a Grass-type family. This is of course because as we all know Grass-types aren't very fond of Fire-types. But to their credit, Leavanny and Breloom tried their hardest to raise their Tepig like a normal Pokemon, even if some things in Tepig's childhood were markedly different from a Fire-type upbringing. After he was born, they gave him the name Scoville, which definitely isn't D_What's clever pun nope not at all. They tried to convince Scoville that he wasn't different, and that they loved him, and although Scoville felt their love, the fact that they couldn't touch him without burning themselves didn't help. (That was because he'd never used his fire powers before, so they were slowly building up inside of him.) It was a strange relationship, where Scoville was both loved and feared by his adopted parents, but one that clearly couldn't last. As Grass-types, Leavanny and Breloom enjoyed eating food straight from the earth. Uncooked vegetables were their favorite. But young Scoville couldn't stand them. Oh, he tried and he tried to enjoy them like his parents, but he couldn't change who he was. So at dinner one day he took his vegetables outside to cook them himself. However, since he'd never made fire before, all the energy he had accumulated exploded out in all directions. His parents' house burned to the ground, killing his mother and almost taking his father too. Scoville realized then what a dangerous burden it was to be a Fire-type, so when he heard Breloom grieving over Leavanny's burnt body, he ran away and was never seen again by his father.
On and on he fled, through deserts and mountains, growing stronger, until eventually he reached a mid-sized town. By this time, he had evolved into a Pignite, and was ready to try to fit in again. In this town there were all sorts and kinds of Pokemon he'd never seen before in his sheltered upbringing. It was all very new and exciting for him, and his outlook on life became far more positive than it had been during his travels. He quickly found a job as an apprentice blacksmith with an old and battered Torkoal as his master. He learned swiftly both about controlling his fire and about shaping metal, which was good because by the time he had mastered the art of smithing the Torkoal passed away. It was the second death in Pignite's life, but this time he took it as a challenge rather than a defeat. He started his own forge, with a Tyrogue as a forgehand, and he eventually earned enough to buy a simple computer. At the start of our story, Scoville is working on an intricate diadem for a rich Grumpig, and it's his biggest job yet.
- Classpect:
- SEER OF HEART - The Seer of Heart understands their teammates and enemies completely. They can see into the depths of the souls of the people on both sides, knowing their wants, fears, motives, and intents. Successful Seers of Heart can use this knowledge to better themselves as well as act according to those around them- lesser Seers of Heart will become confused and will adapt other people’s personality traits as their own as they are flooded with outside information.
- sournote103 - Isaac (Growlithe) - Male - Rogue of Rage - gleefulAntic (GA):
- Basic Info:
Fetch Modus: Strength tester (You hit the force plate, and the thing rises to a level proportional to the force with which you hit it, and then you get the item at that point on the bar)
Strife specibus: Ballkind (He juggles them and throws them at people)
- Bio:
- The meteor carrying Isaac's egg landed in the middle of a circus, and the circus, as circuses seem uncannily wont to do, adopted him as their own, and the ringmaster, a Quagsire, in particular took special interest in him. And that's mostly that. The circus workers raised Isaac to be a clown, and Isaac made some friends online. And now SBURB.
Your name is ISAAC, and you are a CLOWN. Not a juggalo, because they are shitty fake clowns, but a real circus clown. Aside from being a clown, you have a number of interests- okay, no, that's a lie, you really don't, but you do play video games sometimes. Also, you talk to your friends online. But other than that, being a clown is a 24-7 gig! When you're not performing, you can always be practicing! Your chumhandle is gleefulAntic and you *often get VERY EXCITED!!!*
- Classpect:
- ROGUE OF RAGE - Rogue, Passive, “one that steals their aspect for others.” Our newest Rogue, Roxy, stated that a Rogue was like Robin Hood. This isn’t far from the truth. A Rogue gathers their aspect and presents others/their session with the stolen aspect. Typically Rogues are giving people, and are rarely selfish. Rage is associated with anger, fury, intensity and berserk bouts of power. Emotion is the key factor here, and it plays a large part in what a Hero of Rage can do. Depending on the Class Rage is paired with, a Rage player will either focus on the Rage of themselves, or the Rage of others.
- NinteNerd – Pendulum (Farfetch’d) – Female – Sylph of Mind – gustCartographer (GC):
- Basic Info:
Moves: Poison Jab/Leaf Blade/Leer/Steel Wing
Fetch Modus: Mapgrid Modus (The item is stored in a square of a map; the first letter of the item's name is the letter, and the nubmer of letters in the word[s] is the number.
the letters "wrap around" if the first letter is after "J". for items with >10-letter names[spaces/punctuation] don't count], it is divided by the lowest number that will make it fit.)
Colour: #6B5437
Strife Specibus: Stickkind
- Bio:
- Pendulum was found and raised solely by a caring fearow. He was pretty nonrestrictive, only warning her against danger and leaving her to decide for herself if she wanted to heed said warnings. Growing up, she was quite a rascal, often hanging around groups of... less reputable Pokemon like Gligar, Staraptror, and Skarmory. In spite of this, she was loyal to her "dad" and any others that earned her respect, namely an old Victreebel, from who she learned Leaf Blade.
Pendulum has since left her original home, and busies herself as an amateur cartographer, making simple maps for new areas so more powerful pokemon have a little something to go by when they do more in-depth exploring there.
Because of this, Pen has learned both about and from many kinds of environments and Pokemon, and she also knows how to avoid trouble fairly well. On the other hand, this has also led her to expect change. She hates staying in the same area for a long time, and Pen doesn't really have a fixed home. She instead travels from town to town, looking for where her services may be needed.
Though generally good-natured, Pen tends to be a little haughty, and she'll get miffed if nobody wants to buy her maps, though she doesn't make this apparent. Since she leads a pretty active life, it greatly irritates her to see others slacking off. She will make this apparent. She tends to be short and blunt, and occasionally has trouble following simple orders.
Pen also holds some amount of disdain for fighting types.
For convenience of flight, she has hollowed out her reed and turned it into a brush of sorts, and keeps the maps curled around the outside of it.
She also painted stripes on her wings because why not.
Lum may or may not have a thing for Braviary.
- Classpect:
- SYLPH OF MIND - The Sylph of Mind can heal what has been broken when it comes to the mind and sanity. She can help her friends pick up the pieces when things seem to be falling apart, and heal almost any unsavory mental state. She is an invaluable player in any session, especially those dealing with easily mentally compromised species like trolls.
- Sandstriker - Tobias (Sandshrew) - Male - Heir of Time - artisansClaw (AC):
- Basic Info:
- Text Color: #CD9900
Sylladex: Encyclopedia Modus (You have to search through a book to find the item you're looking for.)
Strife Specibus: Clawkind
- Bio:
- Tobias' egg landed in the middle of the desert, being found by a Sandslash who lived in a nearby oasis, he was taken in and raised as his brother. His brother tried training him to be strong but Tobias wanted to do something else and quit, making him a poor fighter. He learned a variety of jobs, showing his ability to pick up skills quickly. Though he is quite smart, he can be quite clueless sometimes, not knowing what to do in certain situations.
- Classpect:
- HEIR OF TIME - The Heir of Time can protect themselves by travelling through time in order to avoid potential problems. Time also protects them by ensuring that there is no way anyone can trace their trail through time.
- OverlordJ – Cyano (Gengar) – Male – Prince of Doom – grinningGhost/grinningTerror (GG/GT):
- Basic Info:
- Colour: #330033
Specibus: Gravekind
Fetch Modus: Jingle Modus (everytime he puts something inside it, it makes a jingle. To release an item, Cyano has to replay the Jingle on his Poké Flute.)
Quirk: Hahaha > Shashasha
Hehehe > Kekeke
Hihihi > Kikiki
Uses > as eyebrows in emoticons
- Bio:
- Cyano is a male, shiny Gengar. His parents are a male Gengar and a female Gardevoir, he has a Kirlia as a sister. While it seems obvious to anyone who understands Pokemon breeding, Cyano has no idea that his parents only found him. Since Pokemon come basically fully developed out of the egg (except for baby Pokemon) he even remembers the day he was born/hatched. His parents quickly noticed his odd blue glow. During his early childhood he was a rather happy kid, his family was nice and he was often told that he was something special and that he'd become someone important some day. However, as he grew older, he realized that when people said that he was special they also expected that he'd act that way. He quickly became stressed from the high expectations. He trained a lot to prove that he was special, which explains why he's already fully evolved. He also always tries to act mature and grown up, even though he's actually still very childish at heart, though since he is afraid to disappoint the people who expect him to be special he hides that. As a result he sometimes gets rather bitter, especially towards people who are carefree or childish themself, since he envies them. He is sometimes a bit sadistic and he enjoys to play pranks on people, even though those pranks sometimes go too far. However, since he considers this behaviour to be childish, he often suppresses his urge to play pranks. Because of his suppressed emotions he is a bit prone to moodswings and his emotions, if he dares to show them, are often extreme. So for example, if he is happy, he either hides it and just becomes a bit nicer or he's fully euphoric or if he's angry he either hides it and becomes passive aggressive or he is completely furious. He spends a lot of time on the internet.
He lives on a graveyard, which is also where his parents are working. He often helps them out.
The father works as a groundskeeper in a very large cemetary. I decided that, while not in the PMD universes but in the main games none the less, since the graveyards are usually centralized and rather large, I'd go with something similar for this. Basically the Graveyard is very large and has elements of a park. Cyano and his family live in a house on the graveyard, a bit away from other people.
Anyways, as I said, the fathers is the groundskeeper. He also works as the head of the household, keeping the finances in check and the likes. He is rather serious and while a good father, doesn't really know how to show his deep care for his family properly, as such he often seems a bit cold.
The mother is much more lighthearted then the father. She does much of the housework, like cooking the meals but also has a little shop near the house where she sells flowers and decoration for graves.
The sister is about the same age as Cyano, however, she is much less mature, since she didn't grow up under the stress of expectation. She comes after her mother and is rather carefree and happy, however, like Gengar, she enjoys playing pranks, though hers are much more harmless then Cyano's. When they were younger, she and Cyano were VERY close, however, as they grew up they grew a bit more distant from each other. They both still care for each other though, there is no bad blood between them. However, a few years ago, while he was still a Haunter, Cyano had a little crush on his sister, which he wishes he never told anyone about and is secretly a bit ashamed about.
To be clear, both Cyano and his sister help their parents with work on the graveyard, though it seems clear that his sister prefers to work in their mothers shop while Cyano often goes to help their dad.
- Classpect:
- PRINCE OF DOOM - Prince, Active, is “one who destroys with their aspect/destroys their aspect.” Prince is a very powerful class. Princes are possibly able to physically manifest their aspect and LITERALLY use it to destroy things. Princes also destroy their aspect; depending on what their aspect is, this could be HIGHLY dangerous or HIGHLY helpful. Doom is typically associated with destruction and death, but can be interpreted as relating to law or judgement as per “Doom“‘s etymology. When taking this into account, we are able to surmise that Doom could be equated to one’s destiny, or fate (in this case, fate holds a negative connotation, linking back to today’s views on the word doom), just as Judgement produces a verdict, essentially “dooming” one to the decided circumstances.

- Miscombob – Oshawott – Female – Knight of Void:
- Bio:
- Banyu was very little when her parents were killed by a rogue group on their way back home, as they had not complied to the demand of their money. After that, Banyu decided she would do everything in her power to become strong and defeat the Pokemon who killed her parents. Thus she trains every day, and her scallops are only the sharpest. Unlike how people see her over Pesterchum, Banyu is an emotional wreck because she was never shown how to act in public, or what is wrong and what is right. But she WANTS to make friends, and she wants to appear nice and friendly, so online she is appears happy go lucky and silly... unlike how she actually is.
- Classpect:
- KNIGHT OF VOID - The Knight of Void is strongest without a weapon- they are experts with their fists and feet. A Knight of Void trained in martial arts will only see their physical strength and agility increased upon ascending to God Tier.
- Xaber - Elegial (Meditite) – Female – Witch of Life:
- Bio:
- Elegial is a female Meditite. Her meteor landed on an isolated mountain in the north of the land, where she was taken in by an Abomasnow. The Abomasnow raised Elegial for the first eight years of her life. Once her adoptive mother died, Elegial returned to the mountain where she had landed, and found within the crater of her meteor numerous important items, including a Damage Calculator that seems to display how Pokemon attacks will result, and tomes telling of the mystical numbers governing Pokemon like Effort Values. Elegial took these artifacts to heart, and believes that correct application of knowledge can solve any problem. The meteor also contained a computer that allows her to access the Internet.
Elegial treats life as a problem to be solved, which limits her relationships as she finds emotions difficult and illogical. She often lacks tact, which alienates some people she meets. She prefers talking about her own interests and finds it hard listening to other people and relating to their situation.
Elegial lives alone, occasionally training against the Sneasels and Machops that live in the mountains.

- Basic Info:
Strife Specibus: Bowkind
Fetch Modus: Strewomorphic Modus (The modus consists of a number of different rooms, all arbitrarily and inconsistently created depending on the contents. The items are somewhat randomly thrown into it and sometimes even hidden behind or in useless objects like chairs, sofas, and beds.
And when you go near over an object in the room, any object, a random gaudy assistant Pokémon will come up and tell you a useless tip about it. These assistant Pokémon will also spout inane "protips" about random things at random times, too, seemingly selected for maximum annoyance.)
- Bio:
- Taznehru is a member of a mysterious Archeops clan that lives in a distant, little-known forest located at the foot of a mountain. There are a number of Pokémon (especially within view of the forest) who have heard of the forest and the clan, but for the most part, it's regarded as fairly obscure. There are only a few other Archeops clans to be found in the entire world, after all, leading a lot of Pokémon who live far away from them to think the species is simply extinct.
A lot of the Archens in Taz's clan really detest the outside world, and often tend to act unscrupulously toward anybody that wanders into their forest, avalanching them with rocks and arrows from speciality Archen crossbows and/or snatching up their belongings without a second thought. (They rarely try to hit vital areas or even hurt the outsiders very badly at all, though, as their main goal is simply to get them to go away and tell others to keep out, too.)
This unusually violent attitude stems from a war they had a long time ago with a neighbouring group of Aerodactyls when the Aerodactyls came in unprovoked from the adjacent mountain and tried to take over the forest. It was a very brutal war and although the Archeops drove them away, many trees were destroyed and many Archeops died trying to protect the younger generation. After that, the Archens and Archeops became very suspicious of outsiders, and the remaining Archeops urged the younger members of the clan to never trust outsiders again and to drive them away whenever one came in. The Archeops council hoped that by bluffing and convincing others that they were ferocious and not to be disturbed that they might prevent future attacks on the forest, and so far, it seems to have worked. Many, many, many generations after the war, however, which is to say thousands upon thousands of years, a lot of Archens have forgotten that that single Aerodactyl war in the past is the main reason that they hate outsiders, and even though they remember being told about the war, tend to think that all outsiders are mean by default.
Taz is somewhat different from the others in his clan. Instead of going along with the narrative most of them subscribe to, he is deeply ashamed of them for not thinking for themselves and wants to know more about the bigger picture. However, at the same time, he's somewhat aloof, selfish and proud, and has a vague dream of somehow restoring the clan to its former greatness largely by himself; though he is not sure how he will do this, he believes that if he can, it will make him great. (He's mainly thinking about restoring it standards-wise and changing people's minds, not being super-promiscuous and leaving a bunch of eggs everywhere... it would probably be a major moment of Fridge Horror for him if he ever realised that his goal could be interpreted that way. XD)
Although he has made contact with the outside a few times, it has only been very carefully and in secret, since he does not want the others to know. Also, the majority of these interactions have prompted the outsiders to try to "help" him in various ways, which he doesn't really like since he doesn't feel he needs help with anything. His attitude in most things he does is that no one else can ever help him accomplish anything because only he is competent to accomplish it, especially the way he wants it accomplished. Even if he isn't an expert, he always seems to assume that he knows more about things than other Pokémon do.
He wears a cloak because that's a common thing to wear in his clan, though not every Archen wears one (it would probably be a bluish forest-green if coloured in), and a shield depicting Cobalion to symbolise his endless fight for justice and truth, as well as his unfailingly strong heart (which is also the source of his chumhandle).
- Classpect:
- THIEF OF SPACE - The Thief of Space is very similar to the Rogue of Space, but uses the buffs they receive to size and speed for their own benefit, adding only to their own power.
- Rozewolf - Asha (Shinx) - Female - Maid of Hope - attentiveArgent (AA):
- Basic Info:
- Fetch Modus:- Chord Corrector: Must play the correct chords to gain access to items
Strife: Paintbrushkind
- Bio:
- Asha was found in the yard of an estate where the mistress of the manor adopted the egg and raised it as her own. Asha snuck out of the manor frequently to explore the local town and found that she had an affinity for helping people, especially those around the local church. She loses herself in creative projects for long periods of times, whether it’s painting, music or video games. Though she’s a little naive she is fiercely loyal to her friends.
- Classpect:
- MAID OF HOPE - A Maid works through preparation, and through reaction, and is one who maintains their aspect. Their duty is to prepare others through their aspect, as well as maintain the balance of their aspect. They prepare others with their aspect for difficulties in the future, while also working on their aspect, making sure to keep the peace in their aspect. A Maid is not limited to one or the other, and can bounce between either function at a whim. Hope can be synonymous with Faith, in both senses of the word (i.e. Religious faith or faith in something/someone), or be taken literally. I am going to go a bit more in depth with my Hope definition, as I’m not happy with it as it is now. So having faith in something isn’t a tangible thing that can be measured by outside means, but instead by one’s own self. Thus rendering most Hope players to be very self involved and only certain about what they feel and are oblivious to/ignorant of how others feel. But faith is also rooted in belief and what one chooses to believe. That being said, not all people belief in the same thing, thus making Hope into a very malleable aspect and will alter itself inside of its assigned player accordingly.
- CC – Kachi (Sneasel) – Male(?) – Bard of Blood – antiquatedTyranny (AT):
- Classpect:
- BARD OF BLOOD - CC - Bard, passive, is defined as one who “invites destruction through their aspect/allows destruction of their aspect.” It is theorized that Bards are able to mimic the abilities of other aspects; a Bard may also be able to improve their own/others abilities based on the Bard’s aspect. I interpret Blood as bonds or connections between people. Typically blood players are invested in the inner workings of the friendships/relationships of their immediate surroundings.
I'll edit it every now and then to keep it up to date. Tell me if I've got anything wrong!

I have some experience with GMing a Forum RP and I've already RPed as consorts, Denizens and Carapacians. If noone else wants to do it, I'd be happy to.

Fetch Modus: Bug Modus (every time he captchalogues something its graphics become glitched and broken, making it harder to identify. In compensation, any of the objects captchalogued can be used at any time)
Strife Specibus: Bladekind
- Bio:
It didn't take long, however, until the Sceptile passed away. Thus, Ashura ended up having to take care of Glitch, using whatever limited knowledge he had at the time and becoming much more serious and quiet as time passed, though still very caring for the younger brother.
Glitch himself, though, is extremely cheerful and optimistic. Also relatively talkative, the little Chespin is friends with mostly everyone he meets. He's always sure of himself, knowing what to do no matter what. A fan of roleplaying, he has a small quirk of using actions between asterisks from time to time in chat. He also doesn't swear very often and loves knights, admiring his "father"'s species, Sceptiles, for their powerful Leaf Blade due to its similarities with actual blades.
Thus, as his strife specibus, he utilizes Bladekinds, starting off with improvised swords because of his lack of an ACTUAL one. As for his fetch modus, he has the Bug Modus: Not the literal sort of "bugs", the one that is used as a type, instead his works in that every time he captchalogues something its graphics become glitched and broken, making it harder to identify. In compensation, any of the objects captchalogued can be used at any time: The only problem is knowing with ones he should actually use.

Strife Specibus: Hammerkind
- Bio:
On and on he fled, through deserts and mountains, growing stronger, until eventually he reached a mid-sized town. By this time, he had evolved into a Pignite, and was ready to try to fit in again. In this town there were all sorts and kinds of Pokemon he'd never seen before in his sheltered upbringing. It was all very new and exciting for him, and his outlook on life became far more positive than it had been during his travels. He quickly found a job as an apprentice blacksmith with an old and battered Torkoal as his master. He learned swiftly both about controlling his fire and about shaping metal, which was good because by the time he had mastered the art of smithing the Torkoal passed away. It was the second death in Pignite's life, but this time he took it as a challenge rather than a defeat. He started his own forge, with a Tyrogue as a forgehand, and he eventually earned enough to buy a simple computer. At the start of our story, Scoville is working on an intricate diadem for a rich Grumpig, and it's his biggest job yet.

- NinteNerd – Pendulum (Farfetch’d) – Female – Sylph of Mind – gustCartographer (GC):
- Basic Info:
Moves: Poison Jab/Leaf Blade/Leer/Steel Wing
Strife Specibus: Stickkind
- Bio:
Pendulum has since left her original home, and busies herself as an amateur cartographer, making simple maps for new areas so more powerful pokemon have a little something to go by when they do more in-depth exploring there.
Because of this, Pen has learned both about and from many kinds of environments and Pokemon, and she also knows how to avoid trouble fairly well. On the other hand, this has also led her to expect change. She hates staying in the same area for a long time, and Pen doesn't really have a fixed home. She instead travels from town to town, looking for where her services may be needed.
Though generally good-natured, Pen tends to be a little haughty, and she'll get miffed if nobody wants to buy her maps, though she doesn't make this apparent. Since she leads a pretty active life, it greatly irritates her to see others slacking off. She will make this apparent. She tends to be short and blunt, and occasionally has trouble following simple orders.
Pen also holds some amount of disdain for fighting types.
For convenience of flight, she has hollowed out her reed and turned it into a brush or sorts, and keeps the maps curled around the outside of it.
She also painted stripes on her wings because why not.
Lum may or may not have a thing for Braviary.

- Bio:
He lives on a graveyard, which is also where his parents are working. He often helps them out.
The father works as a groundskeeper in a very large cementary. I decided that, while not in the PMD universes but in the main games none the less, since the graveyards are usually centralized and rather large, I'd go with something similar for this. Basically the Graveyard is very large and has elements of a park. Cyano and his family live in a house on the graveyard, a bit away from other people.
Anyways, as I said, the fathers is the groundskeeper. He also works as the head of the household, keeping the finances in check and the likes. He is rather serious and while a good father, doesn't really know how to show his deep care for his family properly, as such he often seems a bit cold.
The mother is much more lighthearted then the father. She does much of the housework, like cooking the meals but also has a little shop near the house where she sells flowers and decoration for graves.
The sister is about the same age as Cyano, however, she is much less mature, since she didn't grow up under the stress of expectation. She comes after her mother and is rather carefree and happy, however, like gengar, she enjoys playing pranks, though hers are much more harmless then Cyanos. When they were younger, she and Cyano were VERY close, however, as they grew up they grew a bit more distant from eachother. They both still care for eachother though, there is no bad blood between them. However, a few years a go, while he was still a Haunter, Cyano had a little crush on his sister, wish he never told anyone about and is secretly a bit ashamed about.
To be clear, both Cyano and his sister help their parents with work on the graveyard, though it seems clear that his sister prefers to work in their mothers shop while Cyano often goes to help their dad.
