Name: Sparktail
Species: Demi-Pachirisu
Age: 25
Height: 5'4"
Occupation: Wild Pokemon
Sparktail was born in a world where most pokemon are mostly human, but have great powers that make them valuable to capture and train, either to secure that power for themselves, or for status, in the case of some pokemon species. Pokemon population is a lot smaller than in the regular pokemon world, with poke-people forming small groups outside of human settlements, usually grouped with other pokemon of similar typing. Sparktail was born in such a colony, deep inside Veridian Forest, among many other electric rodents pokemon. His childhood was similar to his peers, playing with other children, going berry hunting with his mother, and overall pretty pacific things. It all changed at the age of 10 when he was out playing when a young trainer boy tried to capture him. He used his tail to try to deflect the ball, but instead the sphere entered his tail and never exited. The trainer boy threw more balls at him, and they all vanished the same way, giving Sparktail an idea. If the balls could do that, what about the trainer himself? The young pokemon pounced his attacker and, much to his surprise and delight, his wish to make the trainer dissapear was granted and within seconds the whole boy was gone, builging out his tail. And within minutes the trainer was no more, and his tail looked bigger and more beautiful than ever before.
From then on, Sparktail decided that it wouldn't be such a bad thing if he kept doing that, should he meet other trainers, and over the next few years, a few humans and even some fellow pokemon vanished in that large squirrel tail of his. As he grew up to be quite the runt, however, it became clear to him that physical strength would not be enough to reach his goals. Fortunately, he discovered that when he shocked other people with his tail during playtime, that they would sometime get that vacant look in their eyes. Further experimentation led him to figure out that he could subtly influence what other did with his electricity, and it became a major tool in his arsenal. Instead of physically stuff people into his tail, he would slowly alter their thoughts until they willingly fed themselves to him.
Eventually, he became a full fledged adult, and he felt constrained in his small remote colony. There was so much more to see out there, so many more interesting humans to meet and use to fuel his tail. He wasn't afraid of being captured anymore, not when he could turn it to his advantage anyway. So he left his home and ventured into the greater world, hungry for fame and tail growth.
Having grown in a small community, Sparktail has a limited knowledge of the greater world. He has a strong sense of loyalty towards other pokemon like him. He is however, obsessed with his tail, and thinks nothing in the world matters more than making sure it is always at its best, and to show it off to others. His vain attitude makes him seem conceited, but if you befriend him, his loyalty can be a great boon. If he hasn't already decided that you are going to fuel his tail, which is quite often the case. He also relishes in his mind control abilities, and loves to see how far he can push it.
Sparktail has several tools in his kit to overpower his targets, but unless he has a distinctive physical advantage and can just shove someone into his tail, he will use the following skils and tactics to win:
- Silver tongue: Sparktail presents himself as well intended, and will always try to sweet talk people he meets to gain their trust. Due to how well he takes care of himself, he appear to be charismatic, and can with words alone often just obtain what he want.
- Electricity: Being a pokemon, he can call upon the powers of electrity and magnetism to easily destroy objects, or murder people. However, due to his belief that his food must be at its best to give the best improvements to his tail, he will almost never use brute strength in his manner, unless forced to.
- Mind control: With a touch of his tail, he can send jolts of electricity into his target's brain. The range of control will depend on the scene and preferences, but can range from mere mental suggesstions to literal body control. Sparktail usually acts on the lighter side of things, prefering long cons to getting mind-voided puppets.
- Shrinking: His electricity can be used to shrink down people, much like a lightning bolt in Mario Kart. This is mostly an excuse to allow size play, which the player enjoys a lot.
- Problem Pokemon: Sparktail is captured by a trainer, but it's all part of his plan to gain control of the trainer until they're putty in his hand... and inevitably tail fluff
- Contest Star: Either on his own or as a trained pokemon, he enters a contest to show his cute side, and the opposition starts to mysteriously vanish...
- Pachizilla: Sparktail shrinks down people that bother him or that he finds cute, aiming to become their god. Can be combined with the first two ideas
- Fall from grace: Sparktail may have several strong skills, but anyone immune to electricity and dark types could certainly put him a peg or two.
For simplicity sake, I have only 5 levels of preferences on the bars below. Note that the preferences are sometime different between prey and pred.
-100%: Don't even try to involve that in a scene. No means no.
-50%: I will probably never play that, but you never know, I may feel in the mood for it.
0%: I don't really care either way if it's part of the scene or not. May depends on other things.
50%: I'm fine with it being in any scene I play. Fun stuff is fun.
100%: Those are my favourites. I rarely will say no to scene that contains it.
