Lore of Yandor #9
The Hunters of Sin are an organization that gives missions to criminals, basically like the polar opposite to the COY. They give rewards for mercenary scarves. The reward depends on what rank the mercenary's team is. So plenty of criminals that can handle a mercenary band like to hunt them down for their scarves. The Hunters of sin are quite well known by most of Yandor, but no one has really pinpointed their location yet. Many mercenaries have tried to find them but never succeed. The COY have interrogated a few criminals to try to find out more details on the Hunters of Sin, but they never have anything to say. The Hunters of Sin oppose the COY and have attempted to bring them down in the past. They also use weapons like swords, bows, and spears which are normally illegal. Some pokemon like to create rumors that involve them, such that members of the group could be anywhere and anyone, and even some say that one of the representatives is a member, maybe even the leader. Rumors will always be rumors, not once have they been proven right.

Ciel looked at Taiyo, Jin, and Tuba, "So what's the plan?" she asked.
"Me and Taiyo will get into flanking positions as you and Tuba distract him and try to thunder wave him if you can," Jin explained to them as he and Taiyo split off into different directions.
Ansuis threw down a smoke ball to hide himself from view as he created a decoy of himself using a substitute. He ran behind some boulders and watched the others make their move.
They could only see the outline of a greninja in the smoke, unaware that it was merely a decoy.
"Thunder wave!" Ciel shouted as she shot out a small bolt of electricity into the smoke towards the decoy. It didn't affect it at all but she couldn't tell if it did or not.
Tuba ran into the smoke to use thunder fang on the greninja copy, which he missed completely and ended up charging out of the smoke, biting nothing.
Both Jin and Taiyo got into their positions and used their pledge moves on the decoy.
The columns of fire and water obliterated the decoy, which cleared out the smoke and created a rainbow effect.
Then they realized that it wasn't actually Ansuis himself, but a substitute.
Jin facepalmed at that reveal. "Should've seen that coming," he said disappointed in himself. "We need to be wary of where Ansuis is right now."
Everyone looked around to try and spot Ansuis.
Seeing opportunity, Ansuis jumped on top of the boulder he was behind and shot out boiling water towards Taiyo which splashed against him, burning him and knocking him into a mining cart.
"Taiyo!" both Jin and Ciel yelled.
Taiyo got up slowly. "I'm fine, I can keep fighting!" he responded, barely standing.
Ciel looked up and glared at Ansuis. "Thunder wave!" she announced as she once again shot out a small jolt of electricity which Ansuis leapt over and landed on the floor with ease.
Taiyo only had the energy to make one last attack before passing out, so he made the most of it. "Wild charge!" He announced as his body was enveloped in electricity. He charged towards Ansuis and only clipped Ansuis's left arm. Taiyo passed out from the recoil damage and his burn.
"Thunder fang!" Tuba announced as he jolted towards Ansuis, this time not planning to miss. He managed to bite Ansuis' right thigh.
Ansuis squinted an eye in pain as he saw blood leaking from the wound. "..." he said nothing as he watched Tuba back away from him. "Tch, not enough to put me down."
"You'll pay for hurting my brother!" Jin shouted in anger. "Retaliate!"
He rushed at Ansuis with a fist, that Ansuis leaned to the left to dodge and swiftly struck Jin's stomach with a punch.
"Ommphf!" Jin clutched his stomach in pain.
Ansuis shook his head. "Never attack in a blind rage, I'd think a mercenary like you would know that," he taunted. "At least no one here will live to remember your failures. Acrobatics!"
He attacked with a flurry of chops and kicks, and ended it with a backflip kick sending Jin flying back 20 feet.
One of the hits managed to snap Jin's left arm bone at the elbow, causing him to scream in agony.
Ciel quickly rushed towards him to try and comfort him. "Wish," she whispered, hoping that it would be enough to at least rid him of the pain.
Now only tuba was left to handle Ansuis. "Well, at least I have the type advantage…" Tuba mumbled to himself. "But I feel that it isn't enough to defeat him."
Ansuis smirked. "And it comes down to me and the luxio, I won't rule out the pikachu just yet, but she seems to want to protect the dewott rather than fight me," He then bowed. "Let us have an honorable duel shall we?"
Jin stared at the greninja with doubt in his eyes. "Hmmph! An honorable Fireforged… I'd never believe that!" He scoffed as he observed the two before wincing. "Ow!"
Ciel cringed and pulled her hand back from his elbow. "Sorry! Just trying to help," she told him.
"It's fine, I know you don't mean to hurt me, just don't touch my arm there again."
Ansuis frowned. "I'm not like the others, I actually have self control," he defended. "Let's just get this over with, mercenaries."
"Double kick!" Tuba yelled as he ran up to Ansuis and tried to kick him, but Ansuis rolled out of the way and unleashed boiling hot water at Tuba.
It scraped by Tuba's body, which the luxio then retaliated with a thunder fang attack. Ansuis leapt over Tuba causing him to run into a boulder knocking himself out.
Ansuis looked at Tuba and gave a sigh. "I was hoping it would've been a longer duel but beggars can't be choosers," he glared at Ciel and Jin. "Who wants to step up now?"
The wish that Ciel made healed Jin, but didn't fix his broken arm.
"Should I?" Ciel asked Jin. "I'm an electric type after all…"
Jin shook his head. "No, Tuba was an electric type and he still lost, so let me handle it. I'm not risking you getting hurt or killed," he answered with a frown. "I don't need both arms to use long range attacks."
Ciel nodded slowly. "I'll stay back and use wishes then," she informed him.
Jin got up and stood across from Ansuis. "I will face you!" he announced. "I will protect my brother, sister, and my ally."
Ansuis gave another bow. "Then let the duel begin," he said. "Night Slash!"
Ansuis jumped towards Jin and slashed at him using dark energy. Luckily, Jin was able to release a Hydro Pump attack before Ansuis was able to make contact with him. The blast of the water sent Ansuis flying off the ledge nearly into the pit down below.
However, it was not enough to keep him down, as he was able to get up on his feet. "*Cough* Well, I think I'm done fighting them for now," Ansuis said as he brushed himself off and hobbled into a hidden entrance into the caves of the quarry.
Ciel was cheering at Jin's victory over Ansuis. "Good job," she cheered. "And look, Taiyo and Tuba have woken up."
Both Tuba and Taiyo had gotten up and were walking up to Jin.
Taiyo and Jin fist bumped. "Nice work brother!" Taiyo complemented. "You must've really laid it into him, wish I could've watched. Too bad about your arm though."
"It'll heal overtime, I'm just glad no one was killed," Jin said.
"That greninja was a pretty impressive fighter," Taiyo mentioned.
Tuba smiled. "Almost like he was a ninja or something," he sarcastically joked.
"Hahaha!" Taiyo laughed. "Seemed so huh."
Jin went towards where group one went. "We should find the others now, who knows what's happening with them now," Jin suggested.
Group 1
Everyone looked around at their surroundings to try to figure out a way to escape.
Sornos looked up at the generator on the ledge. "I could use Stone-edge to create platforms for me to jump to the generator," he informed the others. "And when I turn off the generator you guys can use that elevator over there to get up."
So Sornos created stone platforms from the quarry's wall and jumped up top.
Nilsine did not notice him when he snuck over to the generator and turned it off.
Sheila looked at the now un-electrified water. "It's safe now guys, let's go," she told the others as they went over to the button that brings the elevator down to them.
Rukous pressed it and the sound of the elevator coming down to them was heard by Nilsine.
She looked down at them and sneered. "If you think I'm just going to let you come up here the easy way, then you really need to rethink your options," she said as she opened the power box for the elevator.
Before she could turn off the power, Sornos attacked her with Stone Edge. Nilsine heard the sound of rocks rumbling beneath her and she quickly moved out of the way.
"How dare you try to attack me from behind!" she accused Sornos. "How petty! But I don't feel like fighting at the moment, so goodbye!"
She ran off before Sheila, Niles, and Rukous arrived at the top.
"And there she goes again," Rukous commented.
Niles sighed. "Why does she have to choose to run away and make us chase her? It's really annoying," he complained.
"Let's just keep on chasing her, because she might be going to where Naoto is," Sheila informed them as they all ran after her once again.
While they were chasing her, they stepped on a pressure plate that opened a pit of spikes. All of them were able to jump over it.
Eventually they caught up with Nilsine whom was holding Naoto hostage. They all stopped in place.
Nilsine created a flame in her hand. "Any of you make a move and we'll have a well-done mienfoo for dinner," she threatened. "Now, all I want is the treecko and salandit!"
Sheila gave an angered look. " How about you let him go and you'll get to run away again!" she shouted. "You're outnumbered!"
Nilsine shook her head and snickered. "That, I'm afraid, is not going to happen! Only until you give yourselves up will it happen," she responded. "I'll give you five seconds to decide."
Niles looked at Sheila with a worried expression. "We can't risk trying to attack her, because if we fuck it up she'll kill Naoto," he explained to her. "As much as I don't like the idea of giving into her demands, it's the safest choice."
Sornos shook his head. "She's clearly afraid of us, she doesn't expect us to try to attack her," he informed them.
"And I could teleport behind her and use a move on her from behind," Rukous mentioned. "If she turns to look at me then one of you could attack."
Niles knew that the others wanted to do the opposite of what he wanted. "Alright then, just please don't miss," he said, not confident that it'll work.
Sornos looked straight at Nilsine. "Hey delphox, you know that in savage terms, my species hunts yours, I don't care whether you kill the mienfoo or not, I'll hunt you down and tear you apart!"
Nilsine's eyes widened in fear, she didn't notice that Rukous had teleported behind her. "A-are you really trying to scare me right now? You do realize that your friends actually care about this mienfoo right?" she questioned.
Sornos scoffed. "No, I was distracting you…" he answered as Rukous used Shadow Claw, slashing across Nilsine's back causing her to lose her grip on Naoto.
Naoto quickly ran over to Niles, Sheila, and Sornos. "Thank Arceus, I never had worse company before in my life than the Fireforged," he remarked as Nilsine looked terrified of them.
She immediately turned to run off again, Sornos tried to stop her with Stone Edge but she was too fast.
"No need to chase her any more, we have saved Naoto," Niles said, relieved. "No more running for me."
Sheila smiled. "Welcome back, Naoto, sorry that you had gotten into this mess in the first place," she apologized.
Naoto shook his head. "I should be the one apologizing, after all I was the one who got captured," he took the blame. "I'm just glad you guys didn't abandon me. And who's the lycanroc and girafarig?"
Sornos held out his hand and shook hands with Naoto. "I'm Sornos, by the way, when I said that I didn't care if Nilsine killed you, I didn't truly mean it," he told him, clearing the air about that.
"I figured as much, otherwise why would you have helped out my team to save me," Naoto said.
"We'd never abandon you Naoto, oh and by the way, someone named Shinji came with us to save you," Niles informed him.
Naoto gasped. "Shinji! I should've known that he'd come after me, but where is he?" he asked as he looked around. "Was he-"
"He shouldn't be dead, but he went with another group, so we don't know that for sure," Sornos answered his worries.
Rukous was about to walk back over to them until he heard a feminine voice call out "Viime!" nearby.
He gave a surprised expression as he recognized the voice. "It can't be…" he mumbled in disbelief. "Lu! Where are you!"
"Over here, in the cage!" Lu shouted the best she could.
Rukous looked over at a cage with a flareon within, lying on the floor, and ran over to it. He tried to open it but it was locked. "Do you know where the keys are?!" he asked, he went wide-eyed when he saw that she was bleeding heavily. "You're bleeding!"
The others heard this going on and they went over to Rukous and Lu.
"They had another hostage?" Niles said, confused. "I'd think that they would've just killed anyone they captured.
"I was going to tell you guys about Lu," Naoto mentioned as he looked at Lu with a saddened frown. "Skorge had done this to her before he left."
Lu looked at Rukous with a sad but happy expression. "The skarmory had taken the keys with him, but I'm just glad I got to see you again, Viime, before I die," she said as she shifted a bit. "At least you found some friends while we were separated."
Rukous wasn't ready to accept that fact and started to shake and kick the cage door. "No! You're not going to die! I'm getting in there and I'm going to stop the bleeding! Just don't give up on me!" he shouted while panicking.
Lu looked down at the ground with a saddened expression. "Don't hurt yourself trying to break the cage, I-"
Rukous continued to attempt to break the door. "N-no! I don't want to watch you die now! I just want to see the sparkle in your eyes one last time! I-it has been too long since I last saw you…" he said frustrated as tears began to form in his eyes. "P-please. Just open already!"
Sornos stopped him from pounding the cage. "You really need to calm yourself! The cage is made of nactvite, you'll never get through it. None of us can," Sornos said, trying to convince him to stop. "You can't even teleport through it."
Rukous was huffing and breathing heavily. " But I can't give up on her…" he said in between breaths, he looked at Lu. "Why did you try to find me?"
"You left without saying a word," she answered. "I felt depressed after you left and I didn't want to stay that way, so I went after you, but as you can see, I ran into the Fireforged."
"I regret leaving like that, but after that horrific prank from my friends, I just acted blindly…" he lamented. "I'm sorry Menettänyt, truly. You still love me right?"
Lu started to cough up blood. "You d-didn't need to apologize, I'll always love you Viime…" she assured him as she started to feel light-headed. "G-goodbye… Viime…"
Rukous's eyes were dripping with tears now. "Goodbye Lu." he said as he closed his teary eyes not wanting her to go. "Good...bye."
Those were the last words Menettänyt Luottamuksen the flareon heard before her life ended.
Rukous still had his eyes closed and his head was hung low. "I-I couldn't even give her a last kiss goodbye…"
Sheila and Niles patted his back. "Be glad you were there with her when she died, most pokemon die without even being near the ones they love," Sheila tried to comfort him.
"Just don't let it get to you Rukous, we still have to find the others, and I wouldn't be surprised if they have been fighting the Fireforged while we were chasing Nilsine," Niles reminded him.
"I wish that we could've taken her body with us for a proper burial," Naoto mentioned. "Best thing we can do now is to avenge her."
Sornos just crossed his arms. "We'll cross that bridge when we get to it, right now we have to help our allies," he said.
Sheila lifted Rukous's head up as he opened his eyes. "Are you able to come with us right now?" she asked before walking off with the others.
Rukous gave one last look at Lu and nodded slowly.
"Then let's move out of this depressing atmosphere," Niles said.
Group 3
Vaylie had a very cocky grin on her face as she readied for battle.
Jessica wasn't sure what to do to a fighting type so she decided to use baby-doll eyes to lower Vaylie's attack.
"Dawwww! So cute! But I don't feel like I want to not kill you still," she said, not affected by Jessica's baby-doll eyes.
Lulu flew up to Vaylie and attacked with her wings, but she moved out of the way in time.
"At least you managed to cool me off with the breeze you created," Vaylie mentioned with a shrug.
Havan quickly jumped up close to her while she was distracted and used Close Combat which completely missed her.
Vaylie gave a mocking shrug. "Come one man! I didn't even have to move!" she mocked as she laughed. "Pathetic!"
She went for a Crunch attack on Havan, but he dodged to the side, making her bite her tongue.
Vaylie cringed in pain and felt her tongue. "Ow! That smarts!" she complained.
Shinji saw his chance to hit her with a brick break. He let out a chop attack with his left hand. Vaylie saw it coming and grabbed his hand before it hit her. "Nice attempt there son!"
"I'm not your son, bitch," retaliated Shinji. "Being your pre-evolution doesn't mean I'm related to you. And you acting like my mother is an insult to her."
Vaylie frowned. "How rude!" she said with sarcasm. "How about you go outside and think about what you've said!"
She then threw him through the rusty wall which broke, sending Shinji straight to the floor. He was not coming back up any time soon as he had landed in scrap metal that had pierced a lot of organs in his body.
Jessica looked fearful. "Oh no! Shinji!" she said with a shocked expression.
"Shit. What to do now…" Court said, trying to think of the best way to handle this fight. "Screech!"
He well... screeched at Vaylie which caused her to lower her guard.
Vaylie held her ears in spite of the sound. " Arceus! Aren't singers supposed to have nice sounding voices."
Lulu went for a Confuse Ray on Vaylie, but the attack somehow managed to reflect off some glass and she ended up confusing herself. "Are you kidding me…" she said dazed.
"I don't even know what to say this time," Vaylie shook her head in disappointment.
Havan once again tried a Close Combat attack, this time he did hit her with a powerful punch that left her gasping for air.
"Good work there, hotshot," she said as she got up and cracked her neck. "But, I'm not so easily knocked out!"
Jessica noticed that Vaylie seemed close to falling over, so she walked up to her and used a good ole wake-up slap right to her face. However to Vaylie it just felt like a paintbrush was swiped across her face.
Vaylie grinned. "If you're going to slap me, slap me like a real woman, like someone just got food in your fur," she taunted.
She glared at Havan. "Crunch!" she shouted as she attempted to chomp down on Havan, biting his entire left bladed forearm off. She spit out the bits of white flesh as the blood from Havan's wound squirted all over her face.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhggg! Fuck!" Havan yelled in spite as he covered up his stump of an arm.
Jessica looked away and cringed. "Arceus, how many more times do I have to see that much blood!?" she cried out.
Lulu once again took out some bandages to wrap up Havan's wound. "I did not expect to become a doctor on this mission…" she commented as she flew over to Havan.
"Now we both don't have a hand to use…" Court joked to himself. "Yeah, that was bad timing."
Vaylie squinted her eyes. "Raw gallade is not good at all. Maybe it was the taste of your arrogance," she said.
Court had thought of another thing to try. " Hey slut bag! Do those bags of yours go down ALL the way?" Court questioned mockingly.
Vaylie gave a rather pissed off expression. "Did you really just say that, well how about this sleazy comment," she crossed her arms. "Is that big mouth of yours able to take the whole piece of meat?"
Court smirked. "That was a good one, how about we take this 'battle' of sleazy comments outside?" he suggested.
"Alright fine, your friends better not try anything while we do this," Vaylie conceded as she and Court left the room and onto the rusty balcony. "This is the most fun I've had with something that isn't violent."
Lulu quickly wrapped up Havan's stump where his forearm used to be while she had the chance.
Then Havan, Lulu, and Jessica followed them outside despite what Vaylie said.
Havan managed to push Vaylie over the railing with the last of his strength, however she had grabbed his leg as she went over. Havan was able to grab onto the railing which he hoped wouldn't break.
Vaylie looked down below. "Son of a bitch! You better be able to pull us up, otherwise we'll both die!" she demanded.
Havan glared at her. "I only have one hand! No thanks to you!" he reminded her.
"Then why don't your friends help then?!"
Court and Jessica ran over to them. But, before they could grab Havan's arms, he let go. Maybe it was out of pride, maybe it was a valiant attempt to not give Vaylie a chance to survive. Either way, it was a spur of the moment decision, and they both plummeted downwards.
Vaylie's head ended up getting hooked through the chin on a rusty hook, leaving her hanging as blood dripped down off her body.
Havan had been penetrated through the heart by a broken, jagged support beam back first.
Jessica had closed her eyes in shock and Court stood there silently looking down at Havan.
Court gave a heavy sigh. "I guess he let go in order to kill Vaylie so that she wouldn't have a chance to kill us," he discerned. "We should go now guys."
Lulu and Jessica nodded as Court wrapped his arm around Jessica and they walked back down to the floor of the factory. They looked over at Shinji's bloodied body.
"Didn't even have a chance…" Court said solemnly as they left the factory.
Meanwhile below the quarry…
Ansuis was hobbling through the tunnels until he ran into Skorge.
Skorge was surprised. "Ansuis! What are you doing down here hobbling like a fool," he asked, tilting his head. "Did you get defeated by the mercs already?"
"Yes I did, but I wasn't fighting the treecko and salandit, so don't bother accusing me of failing to complete the mission," Ansuis said in his defense as he tried to hobble away from Skorge.
Skorge stepped in front of him to block him. "But you still weren't able to beat them, and now they'll go help the two we were trying to get," he told him. "So it looks like you'll have to be punished for the fifth time."
Ansuis touched his burn scar. "Why must you continue to harm us if we fail in any way!" he asked angrily. "Our mother never asked for you to do that! You always lie to her about our injuries, saying "Oh, they were just hurt in battle" or something!"
Skorge got up to his face. "Are we really going to have this discussion again?" he said with a sigh. "I hate having to repeat myself all the time."
"Why do you always do these horrid things when our mother never wanted us to do them ever!" Ansuis exclaimed and gave angry hand gestures. "She never wanted us to kill pokemon that never deserved death. She never wanted us to become a group of raiders. She never wanted us to become the Fireforged. And she never wanted us to get ourselves killed or harmed!"
Skorge laughed. "Sure she didn't! But she hasn't objected to it yet. So she clearly doesn't mind it," he explained. "Besides, we have more fun when we can terrorize the ones that can't defend themselves against us!"
Ansuis scowled. "You and most of the others are just taking advantage of her disease. She won't even leave her room because of it, and do you know why?" he asked.
Skorge thought for a moment. "Fucking! Tch! I don't know," he responded.
"Because she doesn't want to be anywhere near others, especially us, when she becomes a malfarian, since she'd end up killing pokemon that may or may not be innocent," Ansuis told him. "So do you really think she wants us to do what we've been doing?"
"HA! If you think that then why not tell her what we've been doing," Skorge suggested. "Unless you enjoy it too."
"I HAVE told her, but she won't believe it because I'm just about the only one that does," Ansuis retorted. "It's because of you that the Fireforged exist. I only wanted to help our mother, to repay her for saving us from rotting on the streets. She came to help us orphans when no one else would. Yet you and the others are taking advantage of her disabilities and are terrorizing pokemon!"
Skorge seemed to be taken back by this speech. "W-well, if it's a change in our lives you want, then I have an idea that'll get us all out of this situation. I've been thinking about it and I've come to a decision," he explained. "We will go out and invade the bigger cities and even cities in other provinces. We'll be feared and known by everyone! We'd have no one willing to take her away from us then! There'd be no more hiding and scrapping with random merchants and bandits. Mother would be proud of us then!"
Ansuis looked fearful now. "We can't do that! We'll get killed, the bigger cities are really well defended by guards. Not only that, but the more we make ourselves known the more we'll be hunted down by mercenaries. We can't handle that, and if we die our mother will have no one left to help her. She'll die or become a malfarian knowing that her children are dead, no mother wants that even if we are adopted children!" he tried to convince Skorge. "Don't you want to repay our mother for all she's done for us!"
Skorge just stared at him with an emotionless expression. "How can we repay her, she's doomed to die or become feral no matter what we do for her. The most we can do is get our revenge on the pokemon that left us to die and her to become a monster! And we can handle mercenaries, if we defeat them we could take their scarves and get a reward from the Immoral Dominion," he exclaimed. "You're just afraid of death, Ansuis. Can't even take a little punishment from me!"
Ansuis became furious. "You're right, I'm afraid of death! I'm afraid that our mother won't be able to die a peaceful death, and I'm afraid that, what I have considered family, is going to be taken away, that includes you and the others. Whether you believe it or not, we all loved each other as brothers and sisters when we were younger, when our mother was able to walk around in public. Everything went wrong when we had to hide from the public, and it's because of you!" he stated as Skorge slammed his head on the wall in anger.
"I nev-" Skorge was about to defend himself until Nilsine ran up to them.
She had a very solemn expression on her face. "Guys, this is no time to argue, Vaylie's... g-gone," she informed them as Skorge stomped off.
"Arceus! Damn these fucking mercenaries, mother has to hear this one," Skorge announced.
Ansuis gave a saddened sigh. "Of course...just after I said I wanted my family to live," he mumbled to himself.
Age of Zezula: Year 780: Location: Croudor Province: the depths of Gohirk Quarry: Mother's room
"Have you gotten the treecko and salandit?" mother asked. "Where's Vaylie?"
Skorge looked away and at a picture of them when they were younger. "We couldn't get the two mons and Vaylie is… dead, killed by the mercenaries," He broke the news to her. "I wish we could've saved her."
Mother firmly grasped her throne. "N-n-no… no...nonononononononononono...NO! She shouted as she pounded her fist on the throne, her hood fell off her head leaving her half skeleton face show. The flame in her right eye socket seemed to flare. "They'll...they'll all… be ripped apart for this! I want you and your brothers and sister to kill every last one of them and don't spare anyone that you come across, innocent or not."
Ansuis looked worried now. "That wasn't our mother speaking, that was the malfarian in her speaking…" he said looking at the ground. "And the last thing she'll remember is that Vaylie had died."
Skorge gave a sinister smile. "I've been waiting for you to say that for a while. We'll gladly rain hell on all the pokemon we come across," he said. "All of Yandor will come to know the name Fireforged."
AN: Yeah, a really depressing chapter this time around, but that's what happens if people don't tell me what their OCs are going to do. I'm not one to give second chances usually, because you don't get second chances in life, so, sorry OC creators, but it's your fault (And the D20) but mostly yours. I'm not obligated to write your OCs if you aren't reading the story. Unless I really like your OC, but that doesn't save them from death.
(LMAO, why was I such a shithead back then? I'd remove the unneeded rude comments, but it's kinda funny though. That and it explains why death happened too early. Don't worry, times have changed for this story and my attitude. P.S. This is Glimmer from the future.)
AN2: I tried making this chapter the best one yet since it took me a while to write it. So I hope it was worth the wait. (Although, 16 days for an update isn't nearly as bad as waiting for a month for a shorter chapter. Looking at you, the author I'm not going to name.)
Hey, It's been awhile since you've seen the form, and it has changed a bit since, so take a look!
OC Rules
1. The classic. No Mary or Gary Stues. You can submit some very skilled and/or powerful OCs, but you must give them at least 2 or 3 weaknesses.
2. There's a bar of quality that you must pass in order for your OC to be accepted. This is because I get some OCs here and there that lack any substance at all, and boy is it hard to work with that. Luckily for you guys, the bar isn't that high and you have unlimited attempts anyways (please no spam though).
3. No human turned pokemon OCs.
4. I will not accept incomplete OCs or OCs that just do not fit into the world of Yandor.
5. No main villains/antagonists. I'm very iffy about them in general, as they're hard to fit into the story.
6. PM your OCs please. I'd much rather see reviews in the review section over them. I know this hurts the guests, but it's really not that difficult to set up an account. If you do end up sending one in the reviews for whatever reason, the only way I'll accept them is if you clearly put time and effort into it.
7. Fair warning, no character is safe from death. Since, I roll dice to determine battle and choice outcomes. However, I may overrule the dice on certain occasions. In short, I'll try to do what is best for the story.
OC Form!
Name:
Nickname/alias (If applicable):
Species and gender (You can submit any species including legendaries, besides Arceus. And for genderless pokemon, just tell me what they prefer to be considered):

Role (Teammate to the main character, recurring villain, just some random shopkeeper, another mercenary band leader/teammate, or maybe a pokemon that I can just kill as an example of how shit Yandor can be):
Province (tell me what province they live in, just know that certain types usually live in a certain province, but they can be in any province really (very unlikely). Read the Lore of Yandor in the introductory chapter for info on that. You can ask any question about the provinces if needed and if I can answer it):
Personality (I need decent enough description that'll allow me to get your OC right):
Character Alignment (You can look up the alignments on google or just ask me about it):
Backstory (I won't ask for much here, just give me a backstory that really shows why they are the way they are):
Relationship? (No, this doesn't mean sex scenes are planned. I'm asking whether or not you're fine with your OC having a relationship develop, and their sexuality):
Ability:
Move-set (give me 6 moves):
Fighting Style (Can be as descriptive as you feel it should be):
Quotes (This is so you can give me a general idea of how they act, talk, and how you'd see them being written. A minimum of 4 is required.):
Other things that you must tell me (like if they have anything unique about their appearance, or if they can mega-evolve, stuff like that):
And the form for mercenary bands (Just put this form above the OCs that are in the team)
Name of team:
Scarf color:
Rank (E, D, C, B, A, S, H, W, Royal):
Members:
Why created:
What they've done:
Forms will be on my profile so you can copy it from there.
And that's all, thanks for reading guys, hope you'll be here for the rest of it. ^:^
