Arundhati Roy, The End of Imagination
“After all, [the world] is on my side. That is, I’m a part of it. Not separate from it. I walk on the ground and the ground’s walked on by me, I breathe the air and change it, I am entirely interconnected with the world.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
where is your muse most qualified to give advice about?
wnrs headcanon question prompts.
wave guidance. having become a wave guardian, ryuuji decided to travel the lands in search of others like him, other aura adepts, whether they wished to join the temple of the wave, or were simply curious & preferred ryuuji's tutelage for a time. in a sense, he is a teacher of aura, now, &, having over two decades of education & experience, he is more than qualified to teach about what aura is, how to manifest one's aura, how to utilize it.
has a major turning point in your muse's life changed a perspective of life they once had?
wnrs headcanon question prompts.
without a doubt, discovering he was an aura adept with enough potential to be worth training was ryuuji's biggest life's turning point. prior to arriving at the temple of the wave, ryuuji had looked upon wave guiders & wave guardians as something legendary, something mythical, to be revered on the scale of the gods themselves. finding out he was capable of being one, becoming one, meeting all the students of the wave, learning about aura, it all made him realize two important things:
one, he was partially correct, wave guardians are not like the humans he knew in his home village, they are the middle ground between human & pokémon, the latter of which are middle ground between human & god, thus wave guardians & the common human are not the same. two, that all living beings were fundamentally the same, all interconnected by the energy that is aura, by fate & destiny, at the whims of both chance & the gods. the latter he was young enough to not know otherwise; he was taken into the temple at eight years old, thus he had not grown into the adult apprehension towards the pokémon of the true wild like the others of his village, like his mother, nothing exemplifying this better than ryuuji's friendship with pichu at age six, who would later become a pikachu, & a life-long partner.
what has been your muse's earliest recollection of happiness?
wnrs headcanon question prompts.
home. a warm meal. the scent of cooked meats & vegetables wafting into his face. flying pokémon chirping away heard through the open window. a gentle hand ruffling his hair, followed by a soft press of lips against the crown of his head.

ryuuji seeing humans mess with gods: hey can you leave my family out of your petty squabbles with fate???
❛ my ally is the aura, & it is a powerful ally. life creates it, makes it grow. its energy surrounds us, binds us. we are luminous beings, not this crude matter. you must feel the aura flow around you. ❜
#𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐣𝐢. indie. sel. ryuuji sano, original wave guardian character based on a legend in the pokémon anime + pokémon legends arceus ancestor of satoshi. extremely headcanon based. by edward <3. sideblog, follows back from @meistoshi. ( personals do not interact. )
ryuuji : mostly raised in a temple, had serenity ingrained in him, spiritual as fuck also ryuuji : hey do you bet me to wrestle that gachiguma
your honor i love him
being a wave guardian who’s on the lookout for other potential students of the temple of the wave or people he could mentor himself should they not wish to commit to something so life-consuming means ryuuji is constantly, for lack of better wording, doing vibe checks. if someone’s aura is wack he will know, regardless of how they appear otherwise.
ryuuji does not like the concept of pokéballs, at all. the idea of capturing a pokémon in a way that by its design mollifies the creature towards the catcher, a quick way of neutralizing a pokémon that makes it a non-threat for as long as it’s kept in its ball... he hates that. he doesn’t look kindly towards people with pokéballs & is even less kind to people who manufacture them. he believes pokémon are to be either left to their own devices or their respect is to be earned just as a human would earn the respect of a human & as a pokémon the respect of a pokémon.
to ryuuji, gods may as well be family, in a distant kind of way. he knows the stories of wave guardians as those of humans earning the gods’ favor, either by fighting by their side or challenging them to battle & impressing them, & the gods granting these humans powers that would go on to be passed down to their descendants. there is a kinship, & ryuuji does feel drawn to where gods are active. but because they feel so familiar, he doesn’t have the same kind of reverence many others do, approaching them like regular wild pokémon & speaking to them as to old, if highly respected, friends. all raised in the temple of the wave have this in common, the temple teaching a religion based in the aura that surrounds all, human & pokémon alike, rather than any particular godly worship. it’s partially because of this that ryuuji is far more easily impressed by humans than by pokémon, humans, though closer kin than pokémon, still feeling foreign to him in a way due to rarely sticking around other humans for extended periods of time outside his years in the temple.
ryuuji met his pikachu as a pichu when he was six years old, while wandering the wilds surrounding his home. he & the pichu saw the same nearly empty berry tree & locked eyes for what felt like a day before rushing to be the first to pick the tree clean. they ended up fighting, pichu electrocuting ryuuji & ryuuji in turn punching & trying to throw the pichu, & in the end a mukkuru ate all but one berry while the two were bickering. when the pair saw the mukkuru & realized it was about to eat the last berry, ryuuji threw a rock at its beak & pichu shocked it into flying away. the pair resigned themselves to only being left with one berry but split it in half as a sign of commiseration. after sitting for a while, ryuuji looked at the pichu, said “hey, my mother’s probably making dinner right now. we should have spare food. would you want to come with me??”, & that was that.
ryuuji’s mother was apprehensive at having a wild pokemon in their home but eventually came around & supposed she was just happy her son made a friend. she later cursed the mouse when, at the age of eight, ryuuji started talking about understanding pichu’s speech & being able to tell where it was when his eyes were closed, understanding these as signs of aura-sensitivity. despite hoping she was mistaken, when taken to the temple for appraisal it was confirmed ryuuji had potential as a wave guardian & he was taken in for training.
in hisui, those who showed signs of aura-sensitivity were sent to the temple of the wave to be appraised by the guardians there, & should their potential be found enough, they were inducted into the temple where they spent as many years as necessary to master their abilities. the temple offered studies of history & lore, meditation, combat, among other things. it taught guiders to utilize their aura to its fullest, whether this manifested in combat or investigation or healing. those that were deemed to have mastered their skill were free to choose whether they remained within the temple to become guides for the next guiders or left to spread their teachings & protect the balance of nature.
the temple offered home to many aura-sensitive pokémon & offered them as partners to those guiders who arrived alone. many young guiders gravitated toward riolu & lucario as their heightened connection to aura makes resonance & training much easier for both parties, & their being considered by many as the aura pokémon makes them effective mascots for what wave guardians strive for, which is complete mastery of their aura. some people, however, chose other pokémon as their partners in training, such as luxio, eievui, or sirnight.
