[Pokemon] The Arceus Holy Grail Wars

N

Nythe

Mostly Harmless
Master

Name: Scott Williams

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Type Speciality: Ghost

Appearance: Scott is a dark-skinned guy with short, spiky, white hair and dark eyes accentuated with lines curving upwards from the corners. He has a few small, but visible scars on his face – evidence of his clumsiness in childhood. He isn’t particularly tall, but is built quite athletically. He wears a dark outfit consisting of a baggy gray shirt with a hood, equally baggy brown pants, dark red fingerless gloves and a black sport headband. He is always seen with a thoughtful expression, as though always in deep contemplation and sucking on a lollipop.

Greatest Desire: To find a way to be reunited with his late girlfriend Emily.

Personality: Scott is a very cautious person and likes to think things through before acting, and as a result, gets lost in his thoughts quite often. He is very level-headed, but has a habit of exaggerating the end result of minor things. (Eg. Throwing pebbles in the sea could lead to a tsunami destroying several cities.) While he had been one of the cool kids, he developed into quite a loner after Emily's death. He also has respect for people who stand by their word, even if they are the enemy. He is very intelligent, but rather pessimistic. Nevertheless, he is capable of becoming deadly serious and exhibits great conviction when the situation demands it.

Biography: Scott’s early years were nothing special. He was the second of three brothers and lived his whole childhood in the suburbs of Castelia City. While both his brothers were determined to become Pokemon trainers, Scott was more interested in music and learned how to play a guitar. He later joined a rock band a few of his schoolmates were starting. And it was through music he got to know the biggest love of his life – Emily. He met her at one of their concerts and after that they were nigh inseparable – he would have left the band, hadn’t Emily been present at their practices. Unfortunately, their happiness was cut short by a fatal car crash, where Emily’s life ended at just 17. He tried to find consolation in music, but to no avail. He left the band shortly afterwards. For the last two years, ever since the accident, Scott spent most of the time on his own, always on the verge of crying. When he first heard about the tournament, he knew what he had to do – he has to win it to bring Emily back. With some help of his former band-mates, he managed to get his hands on one of the artifacts. Now there is no room for failure –anything less than victory is a disaster.

Strengths:
-intelligent, composed, analytic
-willing to invest a lot of time into anything he considers important

Weaknesses:
-can be overly cautious
-not very proactive
-lack of leadership makes him an inadequate Master

Hmm, no one else is getting their SU's up? Maybe mine will rekindle the drive to get them done.

Master

Name:- Scipio Argento

Gender:- Male

Age:- 22

Type Specialty:- Normal

Appearance:- Scipio is rather small in stature, a mere 5’6”, and only about 140 pounds. While this is a rather light weight for one his age, it is mostly lean muscle. His skin is light, but not pale. His hair is originally chestnut brown, but he died it jet black because “it wasn’t dark enough”. It is a short shaggy mess, but that’s how he prefers it. He bears distant grey eyes that rarely show emotion, accented by his black eyebrows.

Scipio’s favorite article of clothing is his long trench coat, which he almost always seen wearing. Very few have ever seen what lies underneath it, but it most often is just a simple t-shirt and jeans, both black. He also sports a black fedora with a light-grey ribbon around it. He wears a pair of simple running shoes for their all-around propriety for most situations. He also has a diamond stud earring in his left ear, and a tattoo on his wrist of a rope, a symbol of his curse.



Their Greatest Desire:- To be rid of his family’s curse, and to prevent its further passing.

Personality:- Scipio is, in short, rather apathetic. People always seemed to steer clear of him, knowing that he was cursed, so he learned to live without such company. As a result, he is very distant from other people. He is not necessarily taciturn all the time, but prefers solitude over the company of others. When forced to interact with other people, though, he makes every effort to be pleasant, after all it isn’t their fault that they avoid him; they have no idea what hides behind the rumors about him. Deep down inside, he’s pretty lonely, but he feels that such loneliness is but a small price to pay for his emotional safety.

One feeling that Scipio does have, however, is a strong sense of duty. When he vows to do something, he will stop at nothing to fulfill the promise he made. Despite this, he is quite timid, afraid of the pain he’ll feel if something goes wrong. He tries to stay as far away from danger as possible unless absolutely necessary, and won’t hesitate to resort to even the most underhanded tactics to do what he has to do without being harmed. He is a strong believer in the statement that the ends justify the means.

Biography:- Scipio was born into a family plagued by a horrible curse. The curse had but one effect – it amplified all pain, both physical and emotional, felt by the bearer six-fold. Many in his family have been driven to insanity at an early age by the constant suffering. This obviously made for a hard life for Scipio, always fearing the worst would happen to him. And so, he took any measure he could to avoid pain. Avoiding emotional pain was rather easy, for most people wanted nothing to do with him. Physical pain, however, was harder to avoid, for a simple bump of the knee into a table could feel like taking a sledgehammer to said knee. So, it was only fitting that he stumbled upon (literally) the Celestial Poké Ball. As he was doubled over, his body searing from the pain, he came to terms with what lay ahead: a lot more where that came from.

Strengths:- Quick Thinking
Footspeed
Won’t Hesitate to Use Underhanded Tactics

Weaknesses:- Modest Physical Strength
Feels More Pain than Normal
Somewhat Cowardly (because of his desire to avoid pain)
Apathetic Towards Others (probably won’t be getting anyone to team up with him unless they reach out to him)


Servant:-

Pokemon:- Gengar

Type:- Ghost/Poison

Gender:- Male

Class:- Lancer

Personality:- Gengar is a malevolent spirit, plain and simple, but for some reason has some strange loyalty. Perhaps it is because of the myriad of other equally malevolent spirits inhabiting Scipio, but for whatever reason, Scipio is the one person or thing that Gengar doesn’t want to devour the soul of. Gengar has a sick sense of enjoying torturing his victims before he kills them, because he enjoys seeing them writhe in pain and fear. Scipio works desperately to try to influence his demeanor for the better, and has succeeded to a degree, but Gengar is, and most likely will always be, far from kind.

Moveset:- Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Thunderbolt

Noble Phantasm:- Frozen Soul Reap

Noble Phantasm Type:- Ice

Noble Phantasm Description:- The victim is entranced into an unbreakable slumber. An icy chill courses throughout their body as they feel their soul being torn apart and ripped out. Gengar feasts on the soul fragments he steals, restoring some health. The victim awakens with great trauma.

Statistics:- (From grade A to F, no straight A's no all Cs and higher. Those will be auto rejected.)
Attack:- C (Hand to hand combat.)
Defense:- D (Defense in melee combat)
Special Attack:- B (Noble Phantasm strength)
Special Defense:- D (Noble Phantasm resistance and spell resistance)
Speed:- A (Ability to outpace an opponent.)
Luck:- B (Factor important to weak servants, can allow them to overpower stronger servants.)

Oh my Arceus, this looks good Zephyr!

I'd like to reserve the Caster position and Psychic type, if still possible

Edit: I'm a bit newbie, also, I don't know the original HGW, I hope that's okay
