[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

I don't personally think it's as hopeless as you think it is, Windos. There's plenty of material there to show Orthros isn't entirely the monster everyone is afraid of.  I think comparing Orthros to Lillipup was a great start.

And it's fine to continue to be scared and cautious of him IC for awhile too.  Even Nathan is going to be a little scared of Orthros's abilities after he evolves.  He'll be treating the hound with utmost respect and caution.  By the time Nathan can Mega Evolve Orthros, their bond should be strong enough to prevent any major issues, but he's going to be extra careful regardless because he knows Megas without that strong bond can go berserk and hurt themselves as well as those around them (the horror stories from Alola's pokedex have to come from somewhere, right?)

I've attempted to accomodate keeping Orthros a healthy distance away from Ventus while still trying to come up with new material to help make it clear he's moved on from his old life.  That he's adjusting to Nathan's lifestyle.  There's still more I can come up with, too, particularly after Orthros has evolved.

I'm trying to help solve this, and it's damn hard to do while trying to purposely not give Ventus reasons to cause unnecessary trouble.  The only missing piece is...well, actually starting on solving it.

I don't want Ventus to leave because of this, Windos, particularly since Orthros hasn't actually done anything of much note besides help win the gym battle with Dagny since he left his former pack.  I'd appreciate if you worked with me (and Iron) a little on actually fixing the problem.

I'm not changing my mind on what I want to do concerning Orthros, but don't let it be said that I'm being entirely unreasonable about it.
