Pokemon headcanons: Names

These are my personal headcanons for the names of the protagonists and some of the rivals of the Pokémon games.

Kanto:

Red Akiyama

Blue Oak/Green Oak (canon)

Leaf Aoki

Johto:

Ethan Hibiki

Lyra Koto

Kristine "Kris" Mariner

Silver Rosso

Hoenn:

May Hayashi

Brendan Birch (I HC him as the rival character, meaning he's the professor's kid.)

Wally Tsuru

Sinnoh:

Dawn Yugata

Lucas Kagayaki

Barry Palmer (I HC that his dad Palmer goes by his last name.)

Unova:

Hilda and Hilbert Grayson

Cheren Kuroki-Petrov

Bianca Caro

Rosalind (Rosa) Whittaker

Nathanial "Nate" Blake

Kalos

Serena Fontaine

Calem Belmont

Alola

Elio Taiyo

Selene Yoru

Notes (mostly based on headcanons):

I HC Hilda and Hilbert to be twins, so they have the same surname.

Cheren is part Sinnohan (so the Pokemon world's equivalent of part-Japanese) and part "whatever the Pokemon equivalent of Bulgarian is."

Ethan and Lyra's surnames in my headcanons come from their canon names in Japanese (Hibiki and Kotone.)

Elio and Selene are originally from the Kanto region before moving to Alola. Their surnames mean "sun" and "night" respectively.

Nate's surname comes from the English name of his manga counterpart.

💭 💜🩹 for the swtor OC of your choice!

Thanks for the ask!

^Very rough sketches of my OCs to give you something to imagine

💭 THOUGHT BALLOON — what is your oc's MBTI, enneagram, and/or other personality aspects (if known/interested in)?

I’m actually going to answer this for several swtor OCs- you know how I love 16 Personalities!

Aresyl (Sith Inquisitor) is an INTP-A: She’s very preserved and quietly inquisitive, always questioning both the galaxy around her and the abstract nature of it. In true INTP nature, she seems totally detached from the present, lost in her own head. She's also very spontaneous and doesn’t believe there’s much of a point in planning when her reality and goals are constantly shifting. However, being assertive (-A), Aresyl feels confident in her ability to navigate her adventurous mind and find the solutions she needs to.

Katynn (Imperial Agent) is an ISTP-T: She’s always restless to explore the galaxy and get her hands on new experiences. Katynn’s fiercely observant (S) and thinking (T), making her perfect for her imperial agent role. She’s able to examine the world around her and decode it with decisiveness. Katynn’s introverted (I) and turbulent (-T) nature manifest in her loner mentality- always straying from the norm either because she doesn’t care for rules or because she’s afraid of growing close to others.

Alykaa (Sith Warrior) is an ISTJ-T: she’s a firm proponent of tradition and upholding order. ISTJ’s easily accept the standards of their society, which is not a problem with a moral upbringing, but this just lead Alykaa on a path to becoming the ruthless and unforgiving Emperor's Wrath.

Hrafen (Sith Warrior) is an ENTP-A: he’s at constant debate with others (and sometimes himself, although not as much as Aresyl) but is unable to take any argument seriously. Although his constant questioning of others often seems brash, it comes from a place of deep unseriousness on his part since he sees all viewpoints as temporary. Being a constant contrarian, he could never trust any society to be worthy of conforming to, although he understands his deep need for community.

Kai (Smuggler) is an ESTP-A: He’s always looking for a new reckless adventure to share with good company. He has a kind of reckless, self-assured nature that could bring him to the top as fast as it could ruin him. Despite this, he remains purely rational and never lets person feelings get in the way of making the right decision.

Aura’dann (Jedi Counselor) is an ESTJ-T: Similarly to Alykaa, Aura’dann is a strong upholder of order and values. Aura’dann and Alykaa are kind of two sides of the same coin, but instead of growing up to be a ruthless sith, Aura’dann is a stark defendant of the republic. However, Aura’dann does not follow the Jedi blindly and instead follows the teachings of the Echani people she grew up with. She was never able to accept the Jedi’s strict rules and opted to keep to the rules she had already lived by. Aura’dann takes it upon herself to be a good example among the Jedi and to the republic with brutal honesty.

💜 PURPLE HEART — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?

I kind of talked about this already, but Aura’dann is Echani and grew up in a strong familial community until she joined the Jedi Order at 17. She felt the need to escape her home since she had a quarrelsome relationship with her family (Aura’dann has very strong opinions, which proved difficult when it came to making family compromises). Luckily, she has so much love for them that Aura’dann was able to keep in touch.

Alykaa is part of a strong bloodline of sith and her family is a defining aspect of her personhood. Her mother wasn’t present in her youth, but he father hammered in high expectations early in Alykaa’s life. She always felt the need to do her family proud and being a shining example among the sith order.

Hrafen, being a literal sith pureblood, obviously also has a strong family connection to the sith, yet is less bothered by it. In part due to his skeptical nature, he never felt the need to be chained to expectations. He doesn’t have much to do with his family- they weren’t a particularly nurturing bunch anyways.

🩹 ADHESIVE BANDAGE — does your oc have any physical and/or mental disabilities?

(I’m going to include mental illnesses/disorders here)

Katynn nearly lost her hearing completely on a mission early on in her career which involved a partner being reckless with explosives. Fortunately, Katynn was later able to pretty much restore her hearing to normal with the use of her cybernetic implants. Katynn also has borderline personality disorder (BPD), which includes having unstable moods, behaviors, and relationships. She has a lot of difficulty letting people in because of this.

Aresyl has inattentive ADHD, further contributing to her detached presence. Aresyl’s history as a slave is reflected in her struggles with PTSD and depression.

Aura’dann has chronic migraines, mostly because I have chronic migraines and need at least one character that can bear my pain with me.

Dance the night away

NPC Sunday

Thank you @frauleiiin and @reigrace-keyboardjam for tagging me.

Answering for Crodek because he’s been on the mind lately.

What type of npc would they be and where to find them?

He would be Sith Lord that the player character has to work with for a military mission. He more of a warlord type Sith so it would a military mission.

Crodek can be found on either Yavin 4, or stationed at random imperial military base. Walking around the soldiers making sure everything is in order is one of his happy places.

Yavin 4 is Crodek’s favorite planet because of its beauty and atmosphere. Some of this is his Cathar genes talking because the Cathars home planets is jungle planet. He also likes how strongly he can feel the planet’s ancient connection to the force is, he finds it reassuring.

If they were a merchant what would they sell?

Crodek wouldn’t a merchant unless it had been the family business for generations. In which a case would proudly inherit the business and seriously apply himself to his trade skill until he’s a master at it. His products would only be the best.

This business would be old school weapon smithing or armor smithing, me thinks.

As a quest giver what’s the question they’d give? A one off or a chain? What the reward be?

Crodek would have a question chain. Where he has a slightly rivalish disposition toward the play character through out the question line. The first quest is sending the player character off to do something menial or beneath them. This entirely for the purpose of testing them.

Crodek used this ‘test’ to determine the player capability and if he can can work them to complete the larger quest line’s missionThe fast be failed by certain character choices which terminates the question chain for that character.

The reward is the usual credits and gear. The only special reward is his grudging respect.

This question would be roughly alliance era were he hasn’t joined the alliance and doesn’t think to much of them. Dismissing them as so something more wishful, rather than an actual faction with power.

If they were a companion how do you unlock them? Do they have a specific quest.

Yes he would be a companion. Crodek would receives after his quest line as a reward. What happens is that as they accomplish the mission together, Crodek makes the alarming realization that the player character is not only his equal but perhaps more capable than he is.

There is two different ways he can be recruited depending once again player choices the first peaceful solution. One he agrees to/offer to join the player as result of his growing respect for them.

Or he can fight them when defeated he will join them once again as a sign of respect. He still feels a rivalish, but the respect is very much their.

Can they be romanced? If so what’s the reward?

Crodek is can be romanced! But only by female characters, apologies to the all the good gentlemen. He doesn’t flirt first but once he is flirt with. He is flattered and toys around a the possibility before fully going for it. Once he committed though he stays.

I don’t fully know what reward means so I’ll assume this means how far the relationship goes. He’ll fully commit to the character but he expects them to commit back or no deal. Crodek is more private, so most romance content is banter. With some physical displays of protection and affection. The procterion hauling the character to safely, shielding with his body type of stuff. The affection is meaningful forehead bumps and the rare hug. Kisses are for total privacy in either a special place or declaration of commitment.

As a regular npc what’s their dialogue?

Crodek doesn’t give opinions he gives statements. Which will happen as reponses to what’s going on.

Occasionall he’ll point out acts or honor skill, or to comment about the the lack of it.

There are a few strategy, war or philosophy saying type stuff he’ll pop out with.

He occasionalmy share a fond memory.

Tagging @blackberry-command-cap, @villainship, @califrey, @queen-scribbles and @kemendin if you’re interested in this challenge.

36% for the oc (or ocs) of your choice!

If you’re oc had to live the rest of their life perpetually angry, sad, or frightened which would they choose?

Answering for Crodek and Tol’Raz

Crodek

Anger is considered an acceptable Sith emotion but Crodek doesn’t like being angry even though it he is strongest when angry (the force draws on anger). What he doesn’t like about it is the lack of control that comes with it. Crodek wants to direct his own body,thank you very much.

He experienced enough fear in childhood and at Korriban to realize how debilitating it is, so he does’t want that. Which means that Crodek pick sadness. Though this choice is really because of his lack of experience being sad. Poor man thinks this would impact him least.

Tol’Raz

Strangely enough he’d pick being perpetually afraid. All through growing up til present day his life has been nothing but unpredictable and frightening.

Fear is something he’s had experience with, he can handle always being afraid.

Quick doodle as I get back into the swing of things. Especially since I’m currently on limited time.

Character Interaction: Vette

To Vette, Crodek is very off putting, because he he values her and treats her with more dignity then she’s accustomed too. While still being very much a Sith and dangerous killing machine. Sure Crodek is decent enough to her but he hasn’t truly freed her.

This man bargained with Vette for her freedom and did give it to her. Only when on his ship where it’s assured that she has no where else to go.

Crodek very much considers Vette his property, so in his mind he wants to grow her as much as possible. This gives him a vested interest in her well being. Which was part of the reason he removed the slave collar with the other reason being a demonstration how he keeps his word.

Vette understandably feels stifled by this behavior. So she holds her ground by using jokes and commentary to point out the holes in his logic. This aggressive sort of verbal grappling does actually end developing both of them into more competent and sure individuals.

This dynamic of those will continue to unfold and perhaps Crodek may grow enough to fully give Vette her freedom. At the moment it seems unlikely that Crodek will romance Vette as they’re busy enough as frenemies.
