A new oc-? She's more like an additional character that I'm using for story purposes.
She's Ghetsis's Older Sister, being 2 years older than him.
I've always headcannoned Ghetsis to be in his 50s during Black and White, so in his late 30s when he adopts N, Anthea, Condordia and gets Lissa.
I've always felt that Ghetsis had great ambitions, but needed a lot of time to set everything up such as acquiring an underground Castle to raise the children, get the word around of Team Plasma, finding loyal men to be Sages.
I don't think the story of Team Plasma Ghetsis starts the moment he adopts N.
He planned things for multiple years, gaining the trust of many people to get the funds he would need to create his Team Plasma.
Just to say that if we consider this age for Ghetsis, and that we decide that Black and White would be happening during the year it was released irl (2010)
Ghetsis would have been born in the 60s.
And now we return to Haideis.
Since the two don't have much of an age difference, Haideis was also born in the 60s.
So for her outfit I took inspiration for 70s fashion, as she would have been a teenager during these years, and would follow the era's most popular style.
I've always imagined that the Harmonia Family would be a more 'traditional' family, and wouldn't approuve of bell bottom jeans.
I don't think Ghetsis and Haideis's parents would be too strict, (they will be, but that explaination will come later in the post) so they were still wearing fairly "strandard" clothing. They were comfortable financially, and I've always headcannoned that they would have been living in Lacunosa Town.
Because of the secluded nature of the Town, most people have pretty common pokemons with them, and even fewer actually go adventuring or go for the gym challenge. But because the Harmonia are well-off, Haideis and Ghetsis are able to get more rarer first pokemon partner.
They get them as Eggs at first and have to care for them until they hatch.
Ghetsis would have gotten a Pawniard.
Also
I used the same reference for Haideis's name as the one used for Ghetsis's.
They both have the two syllables of their names referencing music notes, more exactly tritones.
I had to learn music theory to actually understand what that meant. But tritones in music were once considered to be the 'Devil in music'
Ghetsis takes the G and C# notes
While Haideis takes the A and D# notes
She could have been named Heidis (similar to that one animated series/movie)
But I felt Haideis, which sounded more with Hades fit better with her family lore.
Now for the story / lore part ! :DDD
When she was young she was pretty friendly, though may seemed a bit haughty at first. Mostly caused by parents that didn't like being around people and constantly critized strangers.
Ghetsis compared to her was more introverted and enjoyed being by himself. He only ever really stayed with his sister, and honestly ? He didn't have friends, so he and his sister were pretty close.
Haideis was the smart and wise one, while Ghetsis was the timid, gentler one.
Their parents prefered Haideis over Ghetsis, as she seemed to have grand ambitions compared to his brother (how the table turned); and so she was able to start her pokemon journey early, at 14 years old.
Meanwhile Ghetsis didn't seem to interested in gym challenges, and studied history. He ends up leaving Unova when he turn 15 to study history in another region, Kalos.
Before he leaves Haideis comes back to give him a pokemon egg, and that this pokemon could become his future partner.
But during his absence, tragedy strikes the Harmonia family.
Haideis is found dead in Chargestone Cave.
It was found that she was attacked by a pokemon, most likely belonging to someone as the marks left on her body do not correspond to anything that wild pokemons of the area.
All of her money and everything valuable she had was not found on her body, confirming that a human used his pokemon to kill her.
Ghetsis immediatly comes back to Unova for the funeral.
Haideis is buried near her home.
Her death shapes Ghetsis's way of viewing people in the future. The murderer is never found, and it constantly reminds him that someone used their pokemon as a weapon.
Ghetsis promises himself, and in a way his sister to make a world safe for humans and pokemons. (Which over the years get warped into the idea that humans and pokemons need to be seperated since they are so dangerous)
Lissa design for the alternate universe in which Ghetsis doesn't find N, and sticks to his plan of using his daughter as the face of Team Plasma :DDD
In this Au, Lissa is treated similarly as N was in the original games, kept isolated from the world.
Ghetsis still adopts Anthea and Concordia, who help her learn what Ghetsis cannot be bothered to help her with.
She's a huge bookworm, and reads fairly complex books pretty early on in her life, which Ghetsis has to admit is a bit impressive.
Her lectures are obviously heavily controlled by her Father, and most of it are fairytale stories, but once in a while she would be allowed to read complex documents on pokemon biology. Although Ghetsis makes sure to remove any parts that could sway her opinions away from his.
Lissa is a magnet for small curious pokemons, her mere presence is reassuring to them, and so she often wakes up in her bedroom with pokemons on her bed.
She's very gentle when handling abused pokemons. She reads their mouvements and behaviors, and empathises with them.
As a child she is very...odd. She doesn't really play with her sisters, she engages in play with pokemons, but is never the one to initiate it. Some of the Sages even find her a bit creepy. Ghetsis honestly doesn't care much, and actually prefers her this way than if she was more playful.
Lissa's relationship with Ghetsis is very different in this au. She deeply loves him, and is very thankful for the life he has given her. Even after the events of the first games, she still believes that her father was misguided.
She was also younger than N during the events of BW, being around 12- She's much more naive, but to counter that Ghetsis keeps a constant eye on her by having the Shadow Triad follow her.
She's younger than the entire cast of the BW protagonists, and after the end of the first games, she sticks with them and they become friends.
Alder would most likely become her legal guardian, making sure that she continues to grow in a safe environment, but still giving her space.
During BW2, she's different than N, as she takes a direct part against Neo-Plasma, joining the protagonist and Hugh against them. She keeps her former identity a secret from him, as she discovers his disdain for Team Plasma and what they did to his family.
At the end of the game though, she reveals the truth, most likely after a grunt calls her out for what she did in Team Plasma.
And while I do think Hugh would be incredibly angry against her, almost lashing out at her, only to stop himself as he realizes that...She's barely the same age as him. And she apologizes to him, saying that it's all her fault-
But she was just a kid. A kid that was manipulated and put in role in which she had to behave like an adult.
Hugh and Lissa would become pretty good friends after that. She's able to be around people her age, and socialize with them.
I am not sure if she would end up with Ghetsis's Hydreigon in this au aswell, but it would fit in the story.
Posting the rest of the attacks I made during this year's Artfight. A bit late, my apolocheeses
I did a bit of pokemon ocs, and other fandoms I'm in
First is Scarlet ! who belongs to Emojibamax9013 on ArtFight
Next was Annie and her Skitty Beans, who belong to @alienscribed
Then there was Eris, a Zelda oc, who belongs to aYaSurv on Artfight
After I ended up doing a double-character attack of Lea and Bloody who belong to bloodypainty on Artfight
Next was Etoile, who belons to bigspoingus on Artfight
I then drew Stella, who belongs to @void-dancer
following I drew Guest302 or Zoe as a Revenge for @rocketdust96 with my own oc Jane :DDD
After I drew Chimona who belongs to @miss-occult , with my own dnd oc aswell :DDD
I had this meme idea coming up to me during Artfight, and ended up drawing Dardanne and Melony as this meme for @williceunleashed
One of my favorite attacks I did for this artfight, I ended up drawing Eris again, but this time worked a bit more on a background (I may have overdone it with the overlay and multiplier layers though, but I like the final render)
And finally I finished artfight with Indy, who belongs to LavenderSageart on Artfight
I was very proud of what I did this artfight, and honestly it really made me feel less anxious about my art. Really great experience, and I cannot wait for the next year :DD
The design and story can technically go for two AUs-
One that I called the Beta BW Au-
Which takes place in the universe of the BW Beta. In which Ghetsis's motive are slightly different. Someone made a much more detailed explaination here
And she would also work for the Au in which Lissa is kept and integrated inside Team Plasma.
This is her BW 2 Outfit, aswell as her team.
She's very controlling, and although she's very young, she is ruthless. After N's defeat, she cannot fail. Her whole world depends on it. The Entire World depends on her. She has to be perfect, everyone needs to be perfect.
She believes everything Ghetsis says. In these aus, he fully accepts that she is related to him, and even uses it as to coerce her into taking the role of the Leader of Neo-Plasma. She considers herself the face of Neo-Plasma, unlike Colress who chooses to be more secretive about it during the game.
Zinzolin is mostly in charge of operations on the Frigate. Lissa is very vocal about how she believes he is a rank much below her.
Though unlike Ghetsis, she treats her pokemon decently. She doesn't do anything that would hurt them. She believes in their strength, and they in turn believe in her.
Except for her Haxorus.
She caught him in the wild, and he absolutely did not want to be caught. But he was incredibly strong, and Lissa could not pass the golden opportunity.
No matter what she says, that pokemon despises her, and the rest of her team. She promises she would release him when Neo Plasma won, and it's a promise she would have kept.
She is able to manipulate Kyurem into joining her cause. She fully believes in it, and her heart show no bad intentions. She truly thinks she is doing what is the best for all pokemon and human kind. She doesn't see anything wrong with what she does. It's that confidence that allows her to get Kyurem to her side.
The end of the story is the same as in the game, as in, the protagonist defeats Ghetsis, but Lissa shows up challenging the protagonist in a final battle.
She looses, of course, and lunges for the trainer, in a desperate act. N stops her. The Shadow Triad take Ghetsis away, leaving Lissa alone.
N attempts to talk to her, says she can join him and his sisters, but Lissa refuses and flees.
I've been loving making lil aus for Lissa, there's always so much to her that makes me think of a lot of what if scenarios.
Colress being such a nice legal guardian got her a Miku cosplay for her to wear at a convention :DDD
I like to think that Colress is a lil bit of a Miku fan. He's just silly like that he totally would go to all around the world to see a real concert of hers (the only thing that makes him leave his lab)
Lissa knows nothing about Miku, is just--handed the costume, told to wear it and brought to a convention.
She takes pictures with people but whenever someone asks her a question about the character, she lets Colress answer.
"He forced me to wear this" She tells everyone.
At the end of the day, she gets to meet to Miku fans and listens to a few songs of hers and begins to like her music a bit.
Colress buys her a ton of stuff at the convention so she doesn't get too upset. So she gets a bunch of lil goodies and figurines she likes.
(Colress is actually super happy to buy her stuff to decorate her room)
She even gets a Miku Figurine.
Oooh and I don't know if it's a thing in most conventions, but she'd get a small live-sketch commission of Hydreigon.
She gets to discover a community that she didn't know existed, or at least wasn't aware on how huge it was. And everyone is so nice and creative
She also finds this cursed item (The idea came just as I was making this post, so the art is a bit choppy)
Like imagine finding a plushie of something that looks like your father (that you hate) in a random convention
One of the Au ideas I had in mind for a while, on what if Ghetsis just never took Lissa ?
Lissa's mother isn't a character I've touched much on, as she was never meant to be important in Lissa's story. She really was just some woman to agreed to give a child to Ghetsis.
So this AU really is all about what Lissa would have become if she stayed with her mother ?
First off, her mother is Kalosian, and she would take her mother's last name. Her physical appearance doesn't change much, she still looks a lot like Ghetsis, but since she doesn't even know who he is, she doesn't care as much.
She has two younger brothers and a little sister, that her mother has with another man, who becomes her step-father.
They live in Camphrier Town, so not too far from Lumiose city.
She is present during the events of X and Y, serving as a more typical 'evil' rival to the player character. She's a really good trainer, and was invited by Lysandre himself to be a part of the new world Team Flare plans to build.
At the end of the game, she can be found and battled in Couriway Town, having finished her gym challenge and defeated the pokemon league, just like the player.
She has the absolite instead of the opposing gender rival, who gets the kanto starter with a better type adventage against the one the player took.
There's a bunch of other Aus I have for Lissa, which I most likely will share later on.
Lissa was relentlessly bullied by the other grunts. She always had the most mundane of tasks, and she never spoke to anyone. Like sure, everyone on the ship knows that they’re the bad guys, but they are still working together. Her not even talking to anyone feels like an insult. They believe it’s because she thinks she’s better than them. Colress talks to her as if she was of the same rank as him, Zinzolin always talks about how she’s just a brat, fuelling the grunt’s anger, and Ghetsis, very obviously treats her differently (neither in a better or worse way) Most believe she’s Ghetsis’s favorite, that she gets better treatment because of it. Which is false, she has to do just as much work as them, but grunts will believe whatever they want. At first it’s just a few mean comments when she walks by, which turns into insults and finally into physical assault.
Lissa is much younger than the grunts, so she’s physically weaker. Everyone believes she’s just a young adult that happens to be short. They don’t question her age too much because the implications of them relentlessly beating a kid wouldn’t sit right with them. They are huge hypocrites.
But Lissa ends up fighting back.
Something in her mind snapped after she was beaten the first time. She wasn’t going to let anyone think she was weak, she had to make sure others knew not to mess with her, and also in an indirect way to show Ghetsis what he missed by not keeping her in Team Plasma.
Also, most grunts on the Frigate just bring each other down, because that’s how Ghetsis is, (Zinzolin too but he’s not comparable to Ghetsis) and so they’re constantly looking at the smallest mistake to blame on someone. Yeah, the Frigate is a very toxic workplace.
Ghetsis would obviously be aware of the grunts' treatment of Lissa. The Shadow Triad has eyes everywhere, and he personally asked them to keep a very close eye on Lissa. He almost gets a sense of satisfaction, hearing how his ‘daughter’ is handling life on the Frigate, that she's turning into this monster that attacks like a wild and violente creature.
Also, Ghetsis cares very little about his grunts, so if she beats some of them to the point of broken bones, then it’s on them.
Post BW2, Lissa absolutely is haunted by just how vicious and cruel she was, and she even gets a whole identity crisis, because what if she just became Ghetsis ? What if she ended up turning out like him ?
(I cannot draw windows or any kind of detailed building for the life of me, I apologize)
After the events of BW2, Lissa stays around the Giant Chasm, and is eventually found by Colress, who brings her to the Frigate, not rehabilitated into some kind of research center for Colress, who has now full control of it.
Lissa is given a room for herself, while the grunts still sleep in dorms, although most of them don't stay too long.
Lissa isolates herself completely during that time, she doesn't speak to anyone, and she barely eats anything.
She feels immense guilt and self-hatred, two long years of waiting, praying that someone would come get her out, because surely her brother would wonder where she was, right ?
She believes that no one cares about her, since no one even knows she exists.
No one cared enough to have looked for her.
No one cared enough to wonder what happened to her.
Fortunately at some point she opens up to Colress, and it becomes easier to rehabilitate her to normal life.
There is still some scars left from it. She never fully realizes that people do care about her, and she keeps considering herself as something to dispose of.
She's very wary of strangers. Especially men.
The Hydreigon she stole from Ghetsis helps her a lot with all these issues. And the partners that she gets later on encourage her to see that humans are all different.
It paralels a lot N's journey in BW1 in that way.
Finally done with Lissa's BW design :D
It used to be an older version of her main design, but I reworked it a bit for this one
at this point in the story she's been kicked out of Team Plasma, and is left to wander the region by herself. The clothes she has were found, and are not of very great quality.
She has zero socials skills aswell, and doesn't speak or even approaches humans, and prefers to stay beside pokemons.
She ends up sleeping outside, and smaller pokemon would cuddled up with her for warmth, since she wasn't scared of them.
There's symbolism in how she discovers the world compared to N. Lissa, who was always isolated, now "free" to explore the world, stays with pokemons, away from humans, while N is the one actively engaging with humanity.
When your brother becomes the adored leader while you're left behind with no one to remember you
During the plot of BW, Lissa gets to see how dedicated the members of Team Plasma are to their King, and it feels so unfair, because she was right beside him their entire childhood.
And it's not just that people forgot about her, it's that they don't even know she exists.
Always meant to be left behind, never to be mentionned again.
Also you now have a look at BW Lissa (I'm still working on a full body for her, but it should be coming soon)
Lissa Harmonia, One of my oldest original characters
For context, she is Ghetsis's biological daughter, and was born to then become the leader of Team Plasma, but was replaced by N as he was a much better candidate. Still, at 4 years old she was sent to Ghetsis as agreed by the woman who gave birth to her, but she was heavily isolated, to avoid potencially overshadowing N and suspicion on Ghetsis. None of the Plasma grunt even know of her existence, the only ones aware being the Sages, N and his sisters, and of course Ghetsis.
She was "banished" from Team Plasma, when N was crowned, and had to wander the region on her own when she was only 12. She followed some of the actions of Team Plasma, and helped the Player at times.
Only to accidently meet Colress and be brought back to Ghetsis, forced to work in Neo Plasma so she wouldn't mess with his plans. She's never allowed to leave the Frigate.
When Ghetsis is defeated, in the panic of Kyurem not being under control, Lissa steal his Hydreigon and runs out of the cave. She stays in the Giant Chasm for a few days, trying to be forgiven by Kyurem for letting him be used. Kyurem consistently attacks her, and she ends up recieving some small shards of ice that worsen her right eyesight. Colress finds her and takes her in with him to live in the Frigate, now used as a base for him and some lost Neo grunts.
Lissa then decides to go on her own adventure in Unova, meets new people and old friends, and is finally able to prove herself to Ghetsis.
I might make other posts for more details on her story or else this would be way too long
Fun facts/Details about her:
She inherited a lot of Ghetsis's traits. She has the same hair texture as him, which she would constantly re-style and flatten as Lissa didn't want to look like him. When she became an adult she started to accept them, and doesn't style them as much.
After the events of BW 2, she lost part of her eyesight on her right eye, while trying to be forgiven by Kyurem
She stole Ghetsis's Hydreigon, now taking good care of him, and the two and completely inseparable
She is terribly socialy awkward, spending her entire childhood by herself or occasionally with her brother, she doesn't know how to keep a conversation, or how to begin one.
She doesn't share strong opinions about the liberation of pokemon like Team Plasma did. She believes pokemon should be respected. She isn't against pokemon battles, as she's seen pokemon that want to participate in them. She focuses mostly on the consent of pokemon.
She resent N a lot after the events of BW 2, as he never looked for her after she was banished from Team Plasma. It's also because N was able to have the -albeit fake- affection of their father.
Although she isn't able to understand pokemon like her brother does, she talks to them a lot, her hydreigon being the main listener.
She likes to sleep outside. When kicked out of Team Plasma, she would have no other choice but to sleep outdoors, and wild pokemon would usually come up to her for warmth. Even now that she has a roof over her head, she likes to lay down outside at night to sleep.
Her and Colress get along well, after the events of BW2, he technically became her legal guardian, and was the only person that she trusted, and so they became pretty close.
As mentionned previously, Lissa inherited most of Ghetsis's genes. Except his height. Lissa isn't very tall, being only 1m53 (5ft) and she hates it. She stopped growing when she was around 14.
Lissa still trust pokemon much more easily than humans, from being around Team Plasma as a child and listening to N talk about pokemons when they were young.
