RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Lord Windos - 12-18-2017
Night Spirit! May your morning/afternoon be grand!

So, welcome to the wonderful world of having an NPC helper! What Riza is going to be able to do is probably going to be vastly different from what Angelica can do in some ways, but there are definitely some similarities.
So, let me just list what Angelica can do for Reiner, then try and make some educated guesses at comparisons.
- First of all, being (accidentally) brainwashed into being his servant, Angelica will do anything Reiner asks of her without question, trying to complete whatever task he gives her to the best of her ability. Riza still has her free will, so this point isn't going to be nearly as drastic, but she's unlikely to have problems with anything that's fairly reasonable for Arial to ask of her.
- Second, being a Police Officer, Angelica can help cover Reiner's tracks from the police, allowing him to get away with a crime scot free once per day. Riza's not an officer, though, so...
- Third, Angelica can also help with throwing off people that are tailing him, or reduce police scrutiny by diverting the feds' attention somehow using her position as an Officer. This one, Riza can probably also help with, but I don't know of any people that are specifically after Arial currently, and her diverting attention might be risky business if she gets caught somehow...
- Last but not least, Angelica can be called in to backup Reiner if he needs the support of an extra trainer (like what just happened with Buzzwole), but on the flip-side, she can also be sent to complete an entirely different encounter at the same time as Reiner's doing his, allowing you to potentially complete 2 encounters in the same time period. Efficient, right? How the NPCs handle it and whether they succeed is up to Windos and the dice, though.
Probably going to need a little more clarification from Windos on some of the specific capabilities and limitations here, since comparing Angelica to Riza is almost like Night and Day in some areas.

Oh right... I don't think icy Mina will be too amused not only because Archie died (RIP, person who looked so amazing beside Kyubei on drawings and paintings), but now also because Riza is present. Ahahahahahahahaha~
Oh, but you people also saved her life, so... let's not be a totally unthankful person.

There is still Archie's note to consider, though. Not sure what he has to say to Mina, but...
...wait...Windos, The Merchant DID hand over the note along with the Uber Capsule, right? Or is Reiner going to have to text her again because we keep forgetting about that little detail?

Still going to be sad because now, only the drawings of the couple which served as such a nice inspiration remain. Oh woe is me.
RE: [Meta thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure : Celadon City Vandels - Spiritmon - 12-18-2017
Well one thing I can consider its her ability to have stealth abilities since even with a area filled with Flash was not enough to reveal her location and be able to caugh Arial without anyone have notices. Also her natural strengh was a Metahuman-bug, her extra limbs to carry items, ability to talk with bug pokemon and her conection with the Ultra Beast. How I going to hide her appearance in the day is beyond me...

*'Mew' startles at this revelation.....until they discovered that the Merchant had somehow gave the Mythic the Note (In an envelope) as a Held Item without them notice! 'Sharpen those senses, or I might slip you some coke in the future when ya not looking, hahahaha!' said the writing outside of the envelope.)

Thank goodness. Lemme just add that to the inventory list before I forget again...

Probably going to need a little more clarification from Windos on some of the specific capabilities and limitations here, since comparing Angelica to Riza is almost like Night and Day in some areas.
Someone invoked my name and aid? Then let me clarify thing for you!!!
- The first point is pretty aptly said, as Riza pretty much will do anything Arial says to the best of her abilities, due to afformentioned eternal loyalty for 'curing' her bloodlust . Like you said, though, she still has her free will AND a....unqiue perspective, so while she'll do her very best to accomplish a given task, HOW she does it can.....vary depending on what is specifically asked for her, how its asked (Wording!), and the given circumstances. There is also the likelihood that she gives up on the task if its impossible/complications arise unlike Angelica, but whether that is a good thing or not is up to you in the end!
-Riza can help cover Arial's/Reiner's tracks , since she's more or less highly experienced/has the instincts for Stealth, Getaways, and 'Coverups' , but the method(s) she does so will wildly and DINSTINCTLY differ from what Angelica can do. While the police officer knows what to look for in terms of evidence and how to cleanly removes it, the Bug Metahuman is more likely to be a bit more.....thorough in cleaning up a crime scene. She might end up creating a new one in the place of the old one, even! So, this area is clearly Angelica's specialty, not Riza's
- This is something she can easily do, perhaps even better than Angelica since she doesn't have to go through legal channel's in order to divert attention. All she has to do is cause a crime or large enough disturbance, and that will get the police scrambling and properly distracted for quite awhile! As for people tailing him.......well, you saw how capable she is of 'disappearing' people , and that's when she was unable to use her full Stealth Roll.... Problem is, such methods are not subtle or unobtrusive in the very LEAST, so while Riza can do a much better job at causing a distraction/diverting attention , abusing such methods can and will have consequence on the city on a whole. Angelica methods might take longer and not as effective in certain cases, at least she would raise any undue attention/paranioa in the process.
- More or less how it will work with Riza, but she'd mostly be limited to Stealth/Unobtusive ways to help out on Encounter in the Daytime unless in special circumstance/percautions are in place , since she's ....well, notacible . At Night Time Encounters, however, she's a right beast that can be readily counted on since working in darkness is her bread an butter! You can still expect her to be around/near Arial at all times, but she's going to mostly hiding in the shadows/anywhere that can conceal her , but when that isn't possible.....she'll works something out. 5 Stealth and Survival make hiding pretty easy....
Now, let's get on to the unique stuff that Riza Bette can do for Arial/Maybe Reiner (Your character scares her rightfully)
-Scouting/Spying/Searching! Riza can scount 1 Encounter per day (She needs to keep her presence low) ahead of time while you do another, and gather information on it for your pleasure and benefit! The trick with this is getting the info out of her in a mostly comprehedible manner, and that the Harder the Encounter, the more likely that info gathering might not be easy. Still low risk to do, so nothing ventured, nothing gained!
You can also get her to explore the city to find new Encounter you normally wouldn't find yourself, and can be asked to tail/search for a specific person for the entire day/however long you wish. The longer you tell her to spy/stalk, the more info she can gather, but the greater the chance that she gets caught or complications arise! Exploration is totally risk free, but she's not doing much besides turning up Encounter/Interesting Items (Maybe).
-Hunting/Abuduction! Once per Day, Pick someone/thing you REALLY want to have a bad time, tell Riza it offends you and want it 'removed' , and kick back as she does what she's 'born' to do! Obviously going to cause a ruckus and raise the Warning Level of whatever character issues the kill order, and it obviously has a chance to backfire and turning into an Encounter for Riza to work her way out of (You can give her orders how to react in case she gets caught, though) . Killing is easier than aducting , and how hard either is depends on the target in question.
-Heavy Lifting/Moving! Her extra limbs and Bug Metahuman status gives her essentially pseudo Limber and Huge Power (Both give + 1 DEX and STR respectively), and if she drinks Fresh Blood (AKA Not bagged blood; essentially freshly obtained blood from anything) all her Attributes except Insight increase by + 1 for the Encounter , so anything that relies on DEX and STR checks are going to be pretty easy for her to accomplish! The hitch is that unless its night and/or in a secluded location, a monsterous woman lifting something with all of their arms is going to be rather noticeable!
-Bug Communications/Handling!: She has + 3 Successes on any and all Rolls when it comes to negotiating/talking with Wild Bug/Bug Like type Pokémon, and + 1 when they are owned by Trainers. Her natural affinity also makes it FAR easier to gain their Happiness and Loyalty, and any Bug Pokémon that get caught and trained by her has a - 5 XP cost on all its Moves, and Surprises are cheaper to boot! If caught and given away to someone, the instead the Pokémon has an Egg move or Level up move unlocked. Training other Bug/Bug Like Pokémon gain + 2 XP to whatever Training Roll they have. She can also help Tutor Bug/Bug Like Pokémon in their moves, with an garenteed + 2 Success on Bug type Moves being Tutored, and + 1 for all others. She has a 2 In Move Tutoring Specialty herself, and it can be leveled up once she gains enough XP.
-Ultra Beasts and Others! Due to being a borderline Earthen Abomination and very much an outsider to almost all natural lifeforms on Poke Earth, she an affinity and synergy with things that share her 'status' , which greatly helps her befriend/get along/not get smooshed by beings beyond normal human understanding! Right now this only applies to Buzzwole, but all other Ultra Beast (Particularly Pherimosa for obvious reasons), Deoxys , Mewtwo and Genesect (If they exist at this time, that is), all box Legends for the Sun and Moon games , extraterrestrial Pokémon, abnormal Pokémon (Except Nuclear types, as they are RABID by most standards!) etc.. will share special interactions with Riza, and will more likely be more lenient/gentle/'compassonate' with her than others. Still doesn't mean she's exemt from being smooshed by them if she/you guys piss off these beings, but it does greatly ease up on the pressure when dealing them!
That's all things I can think of that could be applied to Riza! I'll update you on any changes/additions I make to her skill list, alright? Note this down guys!

Wow, that's a lot of info...welp, time to create a new section in the misc. info tab specifically for her...
