Venusaurs are travelling Apothecaries known for their hardearned exotic specimens and healing expertise. (A status gained after years of study). They travel far and wide for more plants of both the healing & poisonous variety. Travellers often flock to them, knowing themselves safe near such a powerful healer.
Alternate Lore entry:
Venusaurs are the most experienced travelling Apothecaries in Kanto, known for their many exotic remedies and hard earned stock of exotic and sometimes dangerous plants. People often join them on their travels, knowing themselves safe within their presence. That doesn’t mean one should attempt to threaten them as they are also highly proficient in poisons and toxins. By now their Plant collection has grown so far, that they need to carry a cart with them to carry it.
(think Gourmet Hunters in HxH but plants.)
Basically they are TANKS and while peaceful can and will defend themselves
as for the reference, they go to like very dangerous places with their carts in order to take care of these very powerful plant species.
the first one the random wheel i have for Kanto gave me, so i promise this wasn't on purpose! Typed version of the flavor text & extra Lore bits are under the cut <3
Which also btw, these are like general baselines, pls pls pls feel free to make your own or similar I'd vibrate out of my skin /pos
Kanto's Guild of charred warriors elite & senior fighters. Most of them leave the guild in search for strong opponents to continue striving for better control of their inner flame. Despite being well known for their confidence and gruff attitude, they do not raise their flame (the name of their weapons) against those weaker than them.
The actual rank is called a Zard- Charizard is a nickname by the general populace.
Becoming a Zard includes a test of mastery in order to 'gain ones wings' and be allowed out of the guilds territory.
SO basically travelling warriors
their weapon can be any one weapon, as they craft it in their former stages (which i still need to roll on the wheel cry)
Shiny Lore!! So shinies in this evolution line would be someone that never settled for a weapon, meaning they have one that's like- think Soul Eater Blackstar or RWBY type shit
They get called haZARDS by folks that don't like them in their village :D
once they reach their peak strength they return to their home guild to teach and mentor Melees (Charmeleons) and Manders (Charmanders)
The second I rolled Venusaur after this i couldn't stop laughing
My version of the two are gfs and you can't do jack about it
oh also their graduation ceremony aka gaining their wings is like- fighting their resident guild leader / retired zard, and winning against them to be allowed out.
