with rocket supposedly vanquished, the hoenn region now faces incredible dangers spawned by the energies of ultra beast invasion.
despite the thin veil of peace, the public still faces unease.
aggressive pokemon wander the wilderness, some mutated into their mega evolved forms.
the scars of mossdeep's ultra beast invasion remain fresh. further still, legendary pokemon still appoint avatars, causing more alarm than awe.
in the meantime, a reformed rocket attempts to poison the ground water of hoenn's society in secretive fashions. what unseen threats still slither in the dark?
we're into the holiday season! hoenn's snowed in with new events (hoennian holidays) and more. crazy to think it's december again. with
the introduction of galarian pokemon, learnsets, abilities and "new megas", we've been quite busy haven't we?
thank you to the community for being so amazing and for being patient with staff as we busily work for your enjoyment! stay warm, folks!
hoenn is inspired by, but not associated with nintendo's pokemon franchise. the current skin was created by pharaoh leap using font icons primarily from ion icons and fonts from google fonts. in particular, we would like to thank kumachan and leap for their additional templates (staff temp, custom pc). lastly, custom templates like the gachapon, garden/swarm, and random event template were coded by ulla.
characters, with the exception of canons from the manga, belong to the members who write them, and all posts and templates on site are credited to their respective authors and artists. we claim nothing that is not ours.
so persephone is one of the league's head scientists and rhian just joined the research department. sounds to me like they're already set up for a mentor/mentee type of relationship, which i'd honestly love to explore! i'd suggest starting with a mission and see how things go from there. personally, i think it'd be nice for rhian to be perse's last option, like maybe rhian just happens to be the only one in the facility when they get word of a new mission or something. keeps rhian on her toes and permanently thinking 'o shit i can't mess up.'
[break][break]
rhian used to have a bit of a damsel-in-distress complex that she's been slowly shedding lately but would probably come up in unexpected situations. paired with perse's own martyr complex, things could turn into a huge mess. maybe we don't start with a mission after all, and their first meeting is instead rhian being dangerously close to a cliff because she's trying to make out something in the distance, and perse jumping in to save her from falling to her doom. or, like, being dangerously close to a big wild bouffalant. there's a lot of possibilities that could be explored here. after one (or more) of these meetings, perse could finally recognize her at work as that one girl she saved the other day, making their work relationship a bit (fun!) awkward.
[break][break]
that said, i'm just throwing ideas around, so do lmk what you'd like or wouldn't like or if you have any other ideas you'd like to explore! ❤︎

her first night
in rustboro, in what would be her new home for an indefinite period of time (not forever, couldn't be forever; she could barely focus on the present), is restless. a bed too hard, a ceiling too dark, a room too small. under her pink covers, rhian turns. and turns. and again she turns. it's impossible, she finally decides, sliding out of the bed.
[break][break]
if there is one thing this room has that hers didn't—doesn't, it's a balcony. it is exactly to the balcony that her feet take her. here, she can't hear the music from the fairies' midnight party that she's accustomed to falling asleep to. she hasn't heard their melodious call for days now, in fact, and she can't help but miss it. this city's music is far less magical.
[break][break]
the double doors open with little resistance. a chilly night breeze runs past her, caressing her cheeks, luring her out with the promise of cold numbness.

⭐ friends.
rhian has few friends, but not entirely out of choice. she's very introverted. with her mind usually stuck in daydreams, she's not the most talkative person around. she was sheltered for a good part of her life, and is still ignorant of certain things that would otherwise be pretty common knowledge, to the point she can be hilariously tactless or frustratingly naïve. she really means well, though, and with those she learns to trust, she can shed her worries and reservations and even turn a little overbearing.
[break][break]
⭐ coworkers.
within the league, she's only an assistant in the research department. rhian is probably not known by many, but she definitely would be able to recognize her higher-ups (and admire them from afar, in a totally not creepy way). work is also the easiest way to interact with and get to know her, as she's very passionate about her career. she's particularly interested in devon's dream projector and the pokénav's affection tracking feature, and would like to be able to work with them in the future.
[break][break]
⭐ lovers.
she's reserved in this aspect.
[break][break]
⭐ enemies.
rhian isn't one to hate openly, and she can endure a lot before being angered. she was a victim of bullying in school, and firmly believes that angry people who take things out on others are the ones suffering the most. wouldn't go as far as to say she likes them, but she can't bring herself to hate them either.
[break][break]
looking for.
mission partners, mentors, maybe some bad influences. open to anything, honestly.

as a child, you had it all. you had your mom, you had your dad, and you had happiness. johto was your home; kanto, your playground. you'd look for fairies under rocks and inside rings of mushrooms. some days, you'd find a portal to their magical land and feast with them. others, you'd go home empty handed. your parents never repressed your avid imagination.
[break][break]
growing up, you lost everything. first your mom, to a car accident. your dad was sued for negligence a few years later. you even lost your home, the idyllic country house where you would dance with fairies and laugh out of pure glee. hoenn was no land of fairies, but aunt claire insisted that it was safer than the anarchy back in kanto. in a way, she was right.
[break][break]
growing up, you shared classrooms with a cousin who wouldn't talk to you. you walked home because he'd tell his mom you'd be staying late at the tennis club. in reality, you were late because you had to find the notebooks your cousin's friends hid around the school. you kept quiet because you knew —you could tell— he craved for his mother's attention. if someone ever threatened to steal your own parents' attention, you think you'd do even worse.
[break][break]
growing up, you decided life wasn't tinted in rose, but you wouldn't let that stop you. kanto fell, but you are still standing. you are no fighter, but you damn well are a survivor.
