Me Every Time I Write Pokmon Protag Stories: But What If I Added MURDER

Me every time I write Pokémon protag stories: But what if I added MURDER

I drew Volo💥💥💥

I tried to go for an alternative outfit for him

If y'all ever wonder how much I write--

Tell me what the “fanon” interpritation of my OC if they were a canon character would be.

Volo's dragon hoard of stories is truly impressive. All the stories (and all the literary analysis that he and others have done on them) he's collected over the years are stored in a library that spans hundreds of millions of books and movies, so huge that it dwarfs the Library of Congress. The library is sorted by different types of stories--recorded oral histories, folklore, family stories, novels, movies, video games, etc. Each room, as well as each different storage unit (book, encasing, stone tablet, recording device, etc.) is designed to perfectly fit the aesthetic of the type of story within it, and the rooms are all thematically arranged so that each aesthetic smoothly transitions into the aesthetic of the next room and the arrangement of the rooms themselves are symbolic of a story. And yes, he has designed book jackets and movie/video game covers for every single book, movie and video game he has picked up just so they can fit the aesthetic of the room they are all placed in; such is actually pretty typical behavior for dragons who want to maintain the most impressive possible hoards. He doesn't get rid of the original covers, as he realizes those become a part of history--but he just likes putting jackets over them so everything is cohesive with the aesthetic.

As an example of what goes into these rooms: He has a room dedicated specifically to the stories of the Celestica and the Griseous. Every single one of the book jackets on the shelves has been drawn to create giant murals of legend: stories of the prophets, of Arceus and Giratina, of folktales, of Volo's own story. The books are all also meticulously sorted by genre. There are books that were pre-printed and books that Volo himself wrote down, and the latter were all made as works of art; the stories themselves are all inscribed in the finest calligraphy and often with illustrations to match. The room is lit by massive pillars of glowing, rotating memory stones--stones of light similar to the memory orbs in Inside Out which are an old school way of recording sounds and events--and which house oral history: sacred stories, interviews, recordings of historical events, stories that were told in such a captivating way that Volo felt they were missing something if they were written down, etc. Those pillars' stones are also colored and arranged in the shapes of deities and religious + mythological figures. Every single room in Volo's hoard is like this. It truly is something to behold--and something he could only have achieved with his skill of being able to be in multiple places at once.

The books and other storage units have all had spells cast on them to make them resistant to damage--fire, liquid, mold, even accidental (or purposeful) bending and tearing of the pages. And despite the unfathomably huge size of the hoard, Volo knows every inch of it like the back of his hand. He knows where every story is located on every page of every book on every shelf--because it's his hoard. What dragon wouldn't know it that well?

N and Ghetsis' charismatic talents are opposites of each other, though they are both equally strong. Whereas N is wildly charismatic with Pokémon but socially awkward among humans, Ghetsis was wildly charismatic among humans with almost no understanding of Pokémon.

N during his Plasma days was amazing to his Pokémon friends--but humans often found him quite difficult to like once they got past the sweet, calm, peaceful façade that his father always exhorted him to put up. Even at his worst he was always better than Ghetsis. But one couldn't deny the impact that being raised in a cult had had on him and his behavior--there were many ways in which he could be toxic that he often didn't realize, and those were all things he had to unlearn.

Ghetsis, on the other hand, was completely shit garbage to everyone; humans liked him only because he was charismatic enough to make everyone focus on the good traits he pretended to have and to make them think that his negative traits weren't such a big deal. With Pokémon, though, the mask was fully off--he basically couldn't get them to do anything without threats, coercion, or the carrot-and-stick method. If he ever appeared to get anything from a Pokémon due to kindness, you can bet it was only because he abused them into thinking they had no other choice. This N might be more of a jerk than most portrayals of him, but holy shit, at least he understands the importance of gentleness, kindness and loyalty.
