[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Shiva, you are one of the strongest trainers in Creshire, able to easily defeat most Gym Leaders. Very few individuals are stronger than you unless they cheat somehow.

T-That's not true, I don't feel that strong at all! (⁄ ⁄>⁄ﾛ⁄<⁄ ⁄)

Kelda is a little older than Shiva. Arachnautilus is a year or two younger than Shiva and slightly older than Nathan, I think. Like 17 or 18.
The elemental blades can indeed deal lethal wounds.

Arachnautilus: "I trained by reading everything I could get my hands on - strategy, magical theory, Pokemon energy theories, that kind of thing. Then I just dueled and dueled until I could always win."

Humm, that makes Kelda at Spira's age, let's go with 18 for Arachnautilus to make her one biological year younger than Shiva. ^^ That makes me wonder how old you have to be to become a Scimitar, or whether age plays a role at all.


Now THAT'S some determination, and it impresses Shiva even more. And if she's being honest, the point 'always wanted to know magic' is a common ground between the natural fae-enthusiast and the edgy spider-helix-woman. "That means you Scims duel each other for training, just like...'normal Trainers' hold Pokemon battles? Without the Pokemon being hurt at all?! That sounds like fun. ( ÒωÓ)و☆ "

In the end, Shiva holds out an open hand to take towards Arachnautilus. "...Partners? Just during our trip into these Ruins, of course. THEN we can hate each other openly again." Shiva smirks, she's probably serious about that last part. "DON'T YOU DARE trying anything funny as otherwise I have to defend myself in full blast, but on the other hand you surely can slap me shall I try to cheat or betray you or your people. Okay? ...Deal?" She's calmly waiting for an answer while staring into... eh..."I'll just call you 'Arachna'. If I may. Nice nickname, hehe... I go by 'Shiva'."

Shiva's too proud to let someone who's younger than herself bring her down, so shall Arachna act condescending towards her: She'll either become wrathful and want to shred Arachna and all her Pokemon mid-air, or it'll encourage her to take leaps of faith she usually wouldn't take.


What also made me decide this way is:

Original Post

(...) Arachnautilus might be described as "edgy." She has her Scimitar cloak lined with black and silver and has adopted a Spinarak-Omanyte motif. Naturally those both appear in her party. She's haughty and wears too much makeup and lots of jewelry, but your gut feeling is that she is VERY strong in the way Shiva defines strength. Also, she's the only one whose gauntlet hasn't been sparking at all. She's probably one of the most competent Scimitars here, but she'll probably be condescending at times. She's also one of the youngest.
Party: Ariados, Omastar, Aerodactyl, Sandslash, Murkrow, Weavile
You get the gut feeling there is some special connotation about the presence of Omastar in her party.
Her favorite spell is Web and she considers herself very competent. She participates in duels and usually wins. (...)

Kelda's free for someonelse to pick!~
