the good life xx BELLATRIX & ACHERNAR

[Ex]

NAME: bellatrix SPECIES: marowak GENDER: female FACTION: none GIFT: forever does not exist. immortality, haunts, being able to think about thinking for all eternity... it's all a lie. bellatrix has the power to kill the unkillable, including the undead. forever is a long time, and your time is up. notes: she has to apply a reasonable amount of damage to kill an immortal/haunt, around the same damage it takes to kill a normal pokémon. she doesn't just snap her fingers and kill them, dur. ABILITY: rock head HOLD ITEM: thick club ATTACKS: swords dance, earthquake, stone edge, double-edge, fire punch, aerial ace, thunder punch, bonemerang, stealth rock, giga impact TALENTS: very stealthy and quick, although not by much, as marowak are pretty slow to start with. uses dirty tricks often in order to win a fight, although she's more likely to flee once she has what she wants. her attacking power is often compared to that of a nuke, which isn't surprising considering that she's a marowak with a thick club. frail, however, and as a result, she counts of achernar to take hits, along with fleeing. PERSONALITY: bellatrix, bellatrix, bellatrix. the warrior girl of the stars, bellatrix is no push over. she looks out for no one but herself in life (along with maybe achernar, but only because he's a good slave), and likes to keep it that way. if she sees you, she'll probably watch to see if you have any valuables on hand that she can sell or use herself. fear is not an emotion she appears to be able to identify in herself. it is a hindrance bellatrix has long forsaken to the wind. she can't have a hindrance keeping her from achieving her goal of living. life is a challenge, a game where winner takes all. bellatrix knows this and is not above sacrificing others for her cause. no one can stop her. at first, bellatrix appears to be of the heartless criminal sort. however, she does have her own morals. killing is not something bellatrix can do easily, and she usually avoids doing it unless necessary. there are people who deserve to die and those who don't, but the ones that get in bellatrix's way usually deserve it. theft is done from those who have the money to spare, and bellatrix rarely takes more than she and achernar needs (which is also because she looses things often). while not entirely fond of the idea of sharing, bellatrix will try and make allies if possible, but she won't actively help them. they are allies, not friends. friends are pretty hard to make considering what a kleptomaniac bellatrix can be. bellatrix has no shame. she knows when a fight is over and will calmly retreat. it is this down-to-earth style that has made bellatrix so successful in life in sootopolis. there is, after all, no honour in being dead, and bellatrix has no intentions on dieing in the state her life is in. get ready, sootopolis: bellatrix wants a taste of the good life, and no laws are going to bind her. DESCRIPTION: built solely for power, bellatrix displays typical marowak appearance. her legs are short and meant for balance and endurance, not speed, with thick, well-muscled thighs and a spread out foot to give optimal balance. she is covered from head to toe in thick scales, giving her a nice defensive edge. her build was born to make her a tough opponent, not pretty, and as a result, bellatrix does not look very feminine. the rest of her body follows the same form. her torso is rectangular and her arms are thick and powerful. she has developed odd hands for gripping, which appear as if four of her fingers have fused together and left the thumb opposable. the muscular build carries on to her strong neck and would probably go into her head if it wasn't encased in a skull-like helmet the marowak and cubone lineage were so well known for. bellatrix's back is spiked, three of them going down her spine, and a tail is also spiked, although the spikes are much smaller and round. being a normal marowak, bellatrix is a brown colour all together, with the exception of her belly, claws, and helmet. her belly is a much lighter brown colour. her claws and helmet are white, although dirt and other impurities have rendered it a dirty shade of gray. bellatrix has bright red eyes, and her claws are notably large, but since she mostly attacks with the thick club she always carries with her, they don't serve much of a purpose. she is mostly known for the bag she carries with her, which is fairly unusual from a pokémon of sootopolis to have. it's usually on her back and she carries a number of belongings in it. one of them includes a piece of rock with an odd rune etched into it, although bellatrix has no idea what it is. HISTORY: bellatrix's history parallels her tough attitude all too well. she was born to a group of bandits in a far off region in a desert north of the nearest village. the region was deserted of all humans: only pokémon inhabited it. like many marowak, she did not know her mother, although it couldn't be said for certain if her mother was dead or not. her father was one of the bandits. life living with bandits was hard. bellatrix normally had to hide the fact that she was female, leading to her toyboyish nature, although she could only hide it for so long. she was treated like new meat for much of her lifetime. her father was too busy keeping himself alive in the harsh life, and ended up dieing to treachery within the group. not that it was a surprise: to bandits, the only way to assert your authority was to kill all who opposed it. bellatrix didn't like her father much anyways (if the amount of times he tried to sacrifice her for his own good didn't give her a reason, i don't know what did). bellatrix grew up in these conditions, until she found a thick club in the sand. as most know, thick clubs double the attacking power of cubone and marowak. as a result, bellatrix become substantially stronger than many other members. the power soon made her cocky and she challenged the 'leader' of the bandits. and she lost. horribly. left for the dead in the desert, either to infections from her wounds or starvation, bellatrix's survival depended wholly on her guts. and boy, did she have some. not only did she survive, but she began to travel south, aimless. the pokémon she met were weak and easily beaten with bellatrix's sheer power and thick club. soon, pokémon were reporting the overpowered runt to the local police. soon enough, the information reached the pokémon village known as treasure town, and they sent out an exploration team to retrieve bellatrix. it was an easy battle: these pokémon were much more powerful than bellatrix's rather weak victims. now confined to the space if a small jail cell, the local police (made out of magnemite and evolutions) began questioning bellatrix. she told them everything, which was unsurprising, as she didn't have much to hide. however, bellatrix was pretty young to be a criminal, so the police set her free. she quickly made a name for herself, stealing and bullying the occupants of treasure town, and was tossed into jail countless times, but again let go because of her age. one day, she stole an odd stone with strange markings from a young phanpy, for no reason other than pure kleptomania. perhaps a few years later, bellatrix was on the beach and found an odd pile of pokémon there. there was a bit of a fight, during which bellatrix grabbed a small, tiny krabby and made it use bubble on this random charmander. the krabby ended up staying with bellatrix for some crazy reason, probably because she had, ahem 'shielded' him from the random pokémon. after a fight, the pokémon were found by magnezone and taken to town. magnezone sentenced bellatrix to volunteer work: specifically, she was to join a totodile and the charmander as an exploration team. insert the really messed up adventures of team neon here. bellatrix knew she never quite fit in, being a criminal and all, so there was a heck of a lot of times where she might have tried to murder the other members. bellatrix and achernar ended up evolving first, but the power didn't make bellatrix any better respected. when the team split up, bellatrix was quite joyous ("the charmander guts were the icing on the cake. never have i felt so delighted."), and left the isolated region all together, taking her kingler slave with her. she ended up in sootopolis and has made quite a name for herself among the pokémon.

NAME: achernar SPECIES: kingler GENDER: male FACTION: none. he just follows his master around. GIFT: no obvious gift, unless you count his abnormally high speed, although it came at the price of his power. ABILITY: shell armor HOLD ITEM: smoke ball ATTACKS: bubblebeam, agility, protect, guillotine, surf, toxic, ice beam, rock tomb, endure, substitute. TALENTS: achernar is very fast, which is rare in kingler. he's also absolutely massive for one, only a few inches short of a full grown rapidash. unlike most kingler, achernar has perfect balance after having his massive left claw come off (it hasn't come back, even when he molts, which is weird). due to the horrible loss in physical attack, achernar specializes in special attacks. PERSONALITY: personality? what personality? achernar is pretty much a zombie in behaviour, only thinking about eating, sleeping, and doing whatever bellatrix commands him to do. as a result, his personality is hard to distinguish, but bellatrix has noticed a few things that set him apart from other mindless slaves. firstly, he is astoundingly loyal, a fact bellatrix loves pushing the limits of. tell him to get between you and a powerful attack? check. tell him to fetch you something from the other side of the island? check. tell him to jump off a cliff? that too. it's also very easy to obtain his loyalty. just give him a large amount of food and he'll start following you like a little puppy. secondly, achernar eats and sleeps like a delcatty, or persian. unless you specifically tell him to get up, he would likely do nothing for the entire day. when you do tell him to do stuff, achernar gets up and does it without rest: he's quite stubborn at times, depending on the situation. if bellatrix tells him to stop, he'll probably do so. however, most other pokémon tend to get ignored, unless they have food. all sorts of food will get achernar motivated. a good thing to remember about achernar is that the only thing more important than food is his loyalty to bellatrix. it's hard to tell if achernar has a good heart or not, but he's normally a gentle giant-type character. nothing really annoys him, unless you steal his food. yes, food. or harm bellatrix, that works just as well. he responds to difficulties by throwing various attacks in all directions, unless someone offers a smarter way of dealing with it. it's unknown if he has a conscience or not, but as far as bellatrix is concerned, as long as she can use him as her slave, she's fine. DESCRIPTION: massive, absolutely massive. with the base of his large crown hitting five feet, achernar is a good seven inches taller than average. his crown adds a good foot to that height, giving achernar a total height of six feet, and this is when his legs are bent. achernar has long legs for a kingler, two on each side. the third pair of limbs act as his arms, with the right arm having a relatively small claw, and the left arm having no claw. indeed, the gigantic left claw kingler are so well known for is missing (presumably eaten by a charmander, but anyways), but the loss means that, unlike others of his species, achernar has no trouble balancing or moving fast. like most kingler, achernar has a relatively flat body, with the exception of the pronged crown on his head. the top portion is a bright orange colour, the same colour as his claws and crown, and the bottom is sandy brown, the colour also being found around his limbs. he is covered in a tough armor and the lower portion of his face is jagged, almost fang-like. his eyes are very plain: white with black pupils. in all, achernar is your typical kingler, just bigger than normal and missing a claw. he can easily carry bellatrix on his back. HISTORY: achernar was once a small krabby living on a beach... until bellatrix found him. an odd group of pokémon had fallen from the sky, causing great confusion among the krabby. achernar, being the fairly curious krabby he was, went to investigate. without warning a fight started and, almost about to be trampled, achernar found an unlikely hero in bellatrix, who easily picked him up with her hand and told him to fire a bubble attack at the group of pokémon. after wards, bellatrix decided to keep the krabby with her, and named him achernar. since then, achernar has followed bellatrix like a loyal zombie-slave-thing. as part of team neon, achernar was pretty much bellatrix's second form of attack. due to the severe amount of training bellatrix forced him through, he evolved very early, and from then on became the team's form of transportation. an odd incident occurred in which achernar lost his massive left claw (presumably eaten by the charmander of the group), and the amount of brain damage might have destroyed whatever conscience achernar had. when the team split up, achernar followed bellatrix to sootopolis, and they have since become a fairly well known duo.
