Name: Wei Contact: Plurk: zeroq1 Discord: nobody#7007 Interests: Pokemon Moon (obviously), Kamen Rider (particularly OOO but expanding into toku everything), visual novels (at the moment Lamento but basically anything especially if it's emotionally painful), science fiction stuff (Mass Effect, Star Trek, etc).... stuff.
Character: Gladion Canon: Pokemon Moon AU: I'm collecting AU information here (and my open planning post is here!). Basically he's a much calmer and more obviously good-hearted person having grown up in a family that isn't a mess and lacking all the canon trauma. If anyone wants to add to the AU CR, talk to me! Since it's, you know, conceivable that his AU self actually has solid friends, if not a ton of them.
Once he awakens he'll be pricklier, more guarded, and a ton more ambitious, so I'm way open to people getting to know him while he's still relatively friendly.
Demon: Camio Why?: Well the immediate reason was the whole talking to animals thing, since he's got a pretty intense connection to his Pokemon. What really decided it for me was poking around for further information about the demon and finding references to it possibly being somehow related to Cain from the Bible (I am not sure related how but whatever, it's an oblique reference I found.) Gladion did not kill a sibling. However, he did completely abandon his sister for two years and leave her to deal with their crazy mother completely on her own, and he's pretty guilty about that at this point. Since that's something his Persona would pick up on, that oblique reference seemed fitting.
Branch: Combatant Why?: I guess as a Pokemon trainer, navigator would have made just as much sense, but combatant really fits more with the way he views it. He's pretty convinced he has a lot in common with his Pokemon.
Type(s): Physical/Fire Why?: His main Pokemon, Silvally, is a physical type whose element can change. Since I picked the grass starter in my game, Silvally was fire. And since Silvally is the one he makes comments about being like... well. I also just think fire suits him as an element, between his personality and how red his clothes are when they aren't black.
Style(s): Protector Why?: As much as his canon lot in life is being a loner who is possibly unhealthily obsessed with improving his own strength, this is actually a big part of his personality. When he ran away from home and took Type:Null (Silvally's earlier form) with him, he was intervening to keep it from being put into cryosleep forever, and there's a few things aside from that to indicate that he legit cares about Pokemon in general and doesn't want to see them mistreated. He also makes a point of taking care of his sister toward the end of the game and even his mom, despite her crazy being the reason he ran away from home in the first place.
Passive: Defense Why?: Gladion has been through a lot of shit in his life. He does not trust people easily. He also has a persistent fear about not being strong enough to deal with whatever he's trying to accomplish. So it just made sense to me that if his Persona picked up all his darkest pieces, it would have picked up all of his distrust and fears about being weak and made "protect self" a priority.
