Character Ask Topic List

Now that all the current characters of the cast are posted and ready for any potential interactions, I felt that it might help those looking for asks to offer some of my characters. Each character has their own particular topics they focus on based on their personality, but can branch out if something about the character stands out to them. Whether or not there is interest I may still send asks on my own ( Once Tumblr may be kind and let me embed text with links ).

All I could really ask in return is to keep comments about “Where are their clothes” to a minimum. All characters were designed as adoptables when they were purchased so giving them clothing is out of my hands except in writing or extra art. Alternatives such as making them feral, giving them random clothes, etc. also work. In any case, I hope the questions I may send are helpful if this catches on. To help those at least a little curious in this, here are all the current character topics.

Sword Cast

Charles ( Grookey ):

Ask Topic: General - Asks will generally be light-hearted as Charles talks to the character in question and gives a question of his own.

Vanissa ( Scorbunny ):

Ask Topic: Battles - Asks will be focused on pokemon battles and whether or not the character is interested in them

Henry ( Sobble ):

Ask Topic: Personal - Asks will be focused on questions regarding friends or family in an attempt to try and talk due to his shy nature.

Serena ( Wooloo ):

Ask Topic: Friendly - Asks will be light-hearted talk as Serena gleefully introduces herself or shows interest in the character in question.

Valerie ( Galarian Farfetch’d ):

Ask Topic: Battles ( Moves & Abilities ) - Asks will be focused on the strategies a character uses in pokemon battles, such as pokemon moves or abilities.

Louisa ( Sirfetch’d ):

Ask Topic: Battles ( Experience ) - Asks will be focused on the character’s experience with pokemon battles, such as what they’ve learned through the years..

Amity ( Greedent ):

Ask Topic: Food ( Cooking ) - Asks will be focused around food, particularly cooking and what the character in question enjoys.

Vida ( Dracozolt )

Ask Topic: Interaction - Asks will...well they can only be interaction based. Vida can’t exactly speak, so if you just want to be comforted by a weird fossil pokemon she’s there.

Meredith ( Zacian ):

Ask Topic: Questions - Asks will be centered around the nuances of the world having been asleep for thousands of years, missing out on what exactly is new in the world.

Kritanta ( Eternatus ):

Ask Topic: Interaction - Being a legendary that has barely interacted with others through the years, they’re the friendly sort who can’t exactly speak. If you wish for a 13-14 foot tall skeletal dragon pokemon who might cause a character to Dynamax / Gigantamax they’re open.

Shield Cast

Josephine ( Inteleon )

Ask Topic: Pokemon Abilities- Josephine always worries herself about wanting to become stronger, which usually leads to her asking how other pokemon learn and practice their abilities.

Gabriella ( Cinderace )

Ask Topic: Hobbies / Sports - Asks will be focused on a character’s hobbies and interests, usually sitting around sports-based topics.

Vittoria ( Thievul )

Ask Topic: Fashion / Valuables - As Vittoria enjoys looking her best, she may draw attention to items of some value or even fashion

Dara ( Grapploct )

Ask Topic: Battles ( Training ) - Something Dara is always curious about are the ways other pokemon train towards battling, especially depending on their strength.

Anya ( Toxtricity )

Ask Topic: Music - Characters who have some attraction to music can often catch Anya’s interest, pushing her to know if she could rock out with a character like them or know what they do for a living.

Maria ( Indeedee )

Ask Topic: Friendly - Being such a friendly pokemon, Maria will introduce herself for more friendly conversations and saying hello to the character.

Portia ( Cramorant )

Ask Topic: Food / Dumb - While Portia may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, she may have some questions that are something to think on even if they may be dumb at times.

Dominique ( Obstagoon )

Ask Topic: Provocation - With Dominique always enjoying the chance to mess with other pokemon through teasing and provoking them, she will sometimes make comments that will usually get a reaction from the character

Hazel ( Morpeko )

Ask Topic: Food ( General ) - Hazel’s split personality that fluctuates based on hunger makes her interactions often about whether or not she’s hungry. She can be pretty friendly and ask simple questions, but if food is nowhere to be found she might ger aggressive about it.

Emeline & Archer ( Dragapult & Dreepy )

Ask Topic: Child Care - For characters who have of their own, Emeline may be curious to know what sort of parent tips she should know about raising a kid.

Valencia ( Duraludon )

Ask Topic: Motivations- Valencia is often curious to know what the motivation a character may have towards their goals or interests. There is usually something that further pushes someone towards their goals.

A story that is often talked about when discussing Galar's history has often been "The Darkest Day". The story speaks of two kings who fought with a sword and shield to protect Galar in ancient times from a threat that almost brought the destruction of Galar. At least, that's how many pokemon have heard the story while growing up. The true story begins with two legendaries, one with a sharp sword and another whose body was as tough as a shield. The two protected the Galar region as guardians and worked with the two kings to fight off the source of the Darkest Day. With their energy spent and their bodies failing them, they went to sleep as statues for many years. Their bodies slumbered for eons while their existence had almost disappeared from the wold, most things representing them having been forgotten or covered up. The most anyone knows about them is the mysterious illusions that some pokemon see while trying to enter the forest before the fog envelops them and they awake outside. What many pokemon don't know is that this is the legendaries protecting the pokemon that enter from what they may encounter in the forest. One of the Legendaries, Meredith, is hoping to one day awake from her slumber and see what the world is like now. Being shackled to the forest that her body rests in has been rather boring as time went on. It also doesn't help her presence is quite jarring for the pokemon who try to wander into the fog. All she can hope for is the pokemon who will one day take up the task of freeing them from this long slumber. Most of it is attributed to wanting to take a sword and practice her skills once more, but another worry is the energy that has been traveling through Galar. They feel something is happening, that the Darkest Day may return once more. In due time, all they can really do is wait and see. Hopefully, when this day approaches, the two will be ready to fight at their best.

Character Artwork done by: @nataliesartprofile { Character belongs to ZiggyZackaryZigzagoon / battlers-of-galar }

Name: Meredith Age: Unknown ( Looks to be early 30s ) Gender: Female Species: Zacian Type: Fairy ( Crowned: Fairy / Steel ) Pokemon Abilities: Intrepid Sword ( Boosts the Pokémon’s Attack stat when the Pokémon enters a battle. ) Pokemon Moves: Moonblast | Crunch | Howl | Quick Guard Pokemon Moves ( Crowned ): Behemoth Blade | Sacred Sword | Sword Dance | Slash Pokemon Level: 68 Likes: Pokemon Battles, Battle Teaching, Stress Gnawing ( Meredith may of been asleep for many years, but her experience and strive for battle has never yet faltered. As Meredith has many years of experience with battling, she doesn’t mind helping other pokemon striving to become stronger. While old habits are often meant to die, Meredith’s habit of gnawing on things such as her sword often pops up whenever she happens to be stressed out. ) Dislikes: Understanding Nuances, Misplaced Sword, Skeptical Pokemon ( One of the biggest problems being a legendary having awakened from many years of slumber are the many nuances of the world that are still to be understood. Merideth’s sword is extremely important to her as the remains of what she left behind before her slumber, as well as the source of her power. Being a legendary whose existence had been forgotten, a lot of pokemon are sometimes quick to judge her skills. )

Family: ( Unknown ) Occupation ( Job ): Legendary Hero Relationships: Charles ( Aspiring Trainer ), Serena ( Friendly Wooloo ), Arther ( Serious Guard ) Personality: Daring, Charismatic, Dignified ( Having once been a warrior of the land before, Meredith is quite the daring pokemon who isn’t really afraid of doing something new. Meredith want for helping other pokemon often shows a bit of a charismatic side of her which she often doesn’t mean to do. You can expect a pokemon of such power to be pretty dignified in her actions, making sure she is always prepared for anything. )

Design Facts of Characters

As all the characters on here were designed originally to be sold, I felt it might be a bit fun to mention some of the design decisions that came when purchasing them. Some have a bit more to them than just being designed around the pokemon’s conception, with others like Valerie having the weirdest of beginnings. If you’d like to learn a bit more about the character’s designs from a commission standpoint this is the best way to do so...or asking me directly too.

Sword Cast

Charles ( Grookey )

Was designed 4 months after Grookey’s announcement ( 6/11 ).

Was the artist’s second attempt at Grookey.

Was originally female, but the artist redesigned them to be male on my request.

Vanissa ( Scorbunny )

Was designed the first-day Scorbunny was announced ( 2/27 ).

The one pokemon I struggled to resist getting, but temptations won out in the end.

Valerie ( Galarian Farfetch’d )

Was originally designed as a Kantonian Farfetch’d as far back as December 2018, but was converted into a Galarian due to the theme of an oversized leek and strong frame.

The Leek’s bulky style gives it an axe like look to it, especially with the “bladed” top to it.

Happens to be the artist’s 3rd attempt at Farfetch’d.

Louisa ( Sirfetch’d )

Was designed the first-day Sirfetch’d was officially announced ( 9/18 ).

The excitement of the announcement led the artist to make 4 Sirfettch’d back to back.

The order of weapons each Sirfetch’d in the batch had been Sword & Shield ( Louisa ), Axe & Buckler, Dual Blades, and Lance & Shield.

Due to when they were made, they’re the artist’s first attempt at Sirfetch’d.

Was originally designed to be kept and used by the artist, but another Eternatus later and they offered the first one as an auction.

With the auctions Starting Bid of $65, the design was later posted with a flat sale of $70 ( $65 for Patrons ) and was later purchased by me.

The project file shows signs of giving them a proper name and a cloth covering, but was given to the newer Eternatus the artist owned.

The artist refused to do an Eternamax form, but loved the idea of having it be a 3 headed serpent with 2 arms.
