Just curious, but what would your rebornverse OCs think of my own OCs? Based on what you know on my OCs, but feel free to send some asks if you want to know more details about them :)

Obligatory I SUCK at asking questions but I'ma try anyway:

Based on seeing some muts play Rejuv for the first time and my own desire to explore the dynamic more: What's Hauyne's ( I hope I spelled that right-) relationship with Melia like? Bonus M2 too! - R ( hello again btw!)

Hi R! @fangaminghell

Well... this is one complicated question, because it depends. Her relationship dynamic with Melia has evolved drastically across the timeline loops, which is honestly quite frustrating on Hauyne's end because she's the only one who remembers that she got the shit end of the stick during the earlier loops while Melia just... only remembers this particular one loop.

And she meant no disrespect to Melia btw, in her eyes Melia of the earlier loops (I'm talking like v1-v6 versions of Melia) is a self-centred brat who, whether unintentionally or otherwise, saw her as nothing more than a convenient tool to mow down any obstacle in their path, simply because she happened to be the so-called friend group's resident "miracle worker" and oftentimes seemingly took credit for what was supposed to be her doing (what happened to her being a genius? she had once thought in frustration). She still actually holds some resentment over v6 Melia for coldly telling her to "get over it" right after watching Madame X murder Nancy in cold blood. Ironically, early versions Melia actually did appreciate Hauyne as a friend, but was too immature to express it in a way that doesn't involve bossing her around and thus oblivious to the burning resentment she was unwittingly breeding.

But come v7 Melia and beyond, and Hauyne was very surprised to find that these versions were much more mature, a genuine friend who treated her kindly as equals and could be relied upon just as Melia relied on her. So she softened towards Melia, their dynamic changing from a stoic guardian who does as what Melia told (because she made a promise to Jenner, and she does not break promises even if it hurts her) albeit with frustration and resentment directed towards the golden girl, to a grudging and somewhat wary companion (get burned too many times, and you become suspicious of anything resembling fire)... and finally as a deathly loyal friend-sans-older-sister-figure who wished for her happiness no matter the cost.

Since M2 is based on v6 or earlier's Melia who went insane from a possible eternity of stagnation, I don't think they would see eye to eye if they ever met again. M2, who believed that she abandoned and destroyed them for no apparent reason, and Hauyne, who resents M2 for her perceived mistreatment and exploiting her as a stepping stone. If anything, it's very likely that they would fight to the death and obstinately refuse to forgive each other.

Long story short, Hauyne much preferred the later versions of Melia, and genuinely grew to love her as a sister she never had despite the rocky beginnings.

It's time (again)

Drop me an ask about the chroniclerverse or its related OCs/characters (I'm bored I need an excuse to talk more here pls 🙏)

Reblogs are appreciated <3

Sun and Moon, Dawn and Dusk.

Never to meet, an endless pursuit.

Yet bound by fate, never to part.

An eternal balance, sworn to keep.

Wherefore Light goes, so too shall Darkness be.

'Liberator' is an interesting trainer class for Hauyne. What's the reason for it?

Okay, so to answer that question, you'll need to know some Chroniclerverse lore history. I'm talking like super ancient history, all the way back in the Old World Era.

Spoilers from .karma files' Paragon and Renegade routes under the cut!

So in the Chroniclerverse, after humanity won the war against Arceus, Pokemon and its loyal followers the Sidhe (aka aura wielders if you've been following @/tired-needs-sleep's Sara content), the world starts to crumble away in the absence of their god.

However, the humans soon learned that the Sidhe have been attempting to resurrect their god, Arceus, using the golden arch it left behind upon its death via a series of sacrificial hosts. But it's not the resurrection of Arceus they're interested in, they're interested in the godlike powers the host of the golden arch was bestowed in. They did not want Arceus to return, they want to replace it with a god of their own making, one that could sustain the world in its place.

With that, humanity launched a second attack upon the surviving Sidhe, seizing the golden arch for their own selfish gains. They would call this artifact "Archetype" after refining it, and experimented it on willing volunteers in an attempt to find/manufacture their perfect God.

One of these volunteers is Electra, who would later become the Renegade Interceptor of the Chroniclerverse. Unlike the others, Electra showed far more promise as the Archetype's host, gaining traits of Dialga's abilities and was even able to manifest the Archetype's full power albeit for short periods of time. However, she inevitably contracted Genesis Syndrome and died a slow painful death, so she was marked off as a failure (although her soul was harvested and kept away for a different program).

Then came Reset Zero that ended the Old World, and Electra was awakened for the first time in eons to take Aevia's place as the Interceptor. Due to her being dormant for so long, her memories became fractured, so her journey across Aevium is also a journey for her to regain her memories, find out what happened to her old home and if she could return to it.

Of course, Electra would eventually learn that all traces of her old life was wiped away, which drove her past the brink of despair and made her obsessed with restoring the Old World so that she could return to her old life. To that end, she sent the world onto a destructive path, hoping to destroy it in order to make room for the restoration of the Old. While she was successful... somewhat, her destroying the world also ended up wiping herself from existence, so all her struggles ended up being for nothing in the end.

But not all traces of her was wiped away; remnants of her, the manifestation of her bitterness, resentment and grief lingered still, and it remained inside the CORE, infecting it like a virus. That 'virus' was what corrupted the CORE and by extension Karma, causing it to loop endlessly and trapping everyone in a never-ending cycle of death and suffering even after a world has flourished and "Bloomed". There's more to the cycles than just the virus infecting and corrupting it, but it's one of the main reasons since the loops are partially to reconstruct the data that got corrupted as a result of Electra's actions.

This is where Hauyne comes in. Due to her origins, she's gained awareness of the cycles very early on, realising that this was not supposed to happen and that there's something that's causing this unnatural timeloops. So her mission as the Interceptor went from "saving the world" to "liberating the worlds from its endless cycle of death", even if it meant declaring war against Karma itself and removing it as well as its influence from the worlds entirely. Hence, "Liberator".

Okay, the official list of Eidolon characters (excluding OCs) in the Chroniclerverse, categorised by the fangame they appeared in. But before I begin, a quick rundown on the terminologies used in this AU and what they meant.

Mageia: the most common Eidolon subtype. They derive their powers through a deep spiritual bond with their partner Pokemon, known as a Bond Partner. Appearance-wise they are virtually identical to ordinary humans, and can easily blend in among human society.

Bond Partner: a Pokemon that is bonded to an Eidolon. For Mageia, finding a Pokemon willing to Bond with them is a rite of passage and a proof of their character.

Anima: a rarer Eidolon subtype, having the ability to assume the form of a Pokemon. Unlike Mageia, they have some physical characteristics which distinguish themselves from ordinary humans, namely their pointed ears, clawed feet and their tendency to walk on their toes. For this reason, they tend to shy away from human contact and preferred to keep to their own kind.

Eikon: a variant of Anima, referring to specific Anima with the form of a Legendary or Mythical Pokemon. They are the rarest and arguably the most powerful subtype, and only one Eikon may exist for each Legendary at any given time. They typically occupy leadership or other high ranking positions in Eidolon society.

Eidolon: the term Aura Wielders use to refer to their own kind. In their language, it roughly translates to "people of the stars".

And with that out of the way, let's dive into the list!

Been thinking about how the Eidolons would impact the whole Pokemon world, in a sense. I mostly talked about their influence in the rebornverse regions, but I would think there's also like clan branches existing beyond the borders of Aevium, Reborn and Ayrith, perhaps because they found the ancestral law to isolate themselves from the outside world too oppressive to bear and chose to exile themselves to create their own clans elsewhere... or because they chose to flee instead of staying to defend their homeland back in the days of the Great War.

Members of these clan branches have lost most if not all of their spiritual connection to the world their ancestors once had, presumably due to the constant intermingling with humans, although some traces still remain. In fact, I might even say that most trainers who choose to specialise in a certain type in this verse are distantly descended from these clans; they do not have the powers nor the defining characteristics of their ancestors, but their affinity to those types remains. Very occasionally though the spiritual gift manifests spontaneously in such lineages, but these are an exceedingly rare occurrences.

Either way, unlike their counterparts in Aevium, Reborn and Ayrith, the clan branches are not shy to make contact with humans and are even fairly well-known as influential political figures in human society like the Blackthorn Clan (which, predictably, originated as a branch of the aura wielder's dragon clan). I would think a lot of them have forgotten their roots as Eidolons who refused to conform to the isolationist laws of their people, but still remember that they once had a deep spiritual connection to the world even if its diluted and weakened over the generations.

I don't usually go into too much detail about Hauyne's relationship with the Protectors, though it goes without saying it's a really complicated one. Mentors in a past life, forced to become enemies in the next and pitted against each other in a deadly conflict. The only one who didn't was Vivian, since she still remained friends with Hauyne both as Taelia and as Aelita.

Nymiera is a hard maybe, but considering how things are going I get the feeling that she would inevitably clash with the Interceptor. Her own protégè that she helped raised into the person she is now, and in a way grooming her for the Interceptor position. And probably the closest thing she has to a role model since there aren't any adult members of her kind left who could guide her. Yet Hauyne feels conflicted about her, especially after learning about the darker sides of her past. It's her own sense of principles and morality clashing with her own sense of affection for her mentor. She's disappointed in Nymiera's actions, disgusted even, but she not once wished to see her harmed. And yet that's what she must do in order to fulfill her goals. And she'll see it through, as she had done with Anju and Hazuki.
