"Once upon a younger year, when all our shadows disappear; the animals inside came out to play.."
Usually found practicing various martial arts within a Dojo or secluded grove, one hardly saw this Pokemon unless they specifically sought him out. Preferring to keep to himself and so far refusing to accept a trainer, this Blaziken had instead forged it's own path in the Multiverse. As a Torchic, it had seen the fate of most of his fellows at the hands of youngsters seeking to make a name for themselves in a hostile world. He was given an alternate route, and allowed to grow up in an entirely different world. He ended up here in the Nexus, and thanks to his preference for isolation he was allowed to grow at his own pace; which was insanely fast. Within mere hours after his arrival, he'd evolved from a Torchic into a Combusken; a feat that normally took several weeks of training and exercise with a Trainer or indeed even other Pokemon present. While he did encounter a few others from his Universe within the confines of the Nexus, he didn't really act like a traditional pokemon and was usually viewed with apprehension even by them. After a few days he'd become as we see him today, a fully evolved Blaziken with a penchant for honing his skills. While he is incapable of realizing his true potential without a trainer to help him reach his Mega Evolution, this hasn't stopped him from establishing a reputation as one of the finest martial artists in the entirety of the Park. Usually clad in a red gi over his form fitting black vest with matching gloves, the insignia on the back heralds to a Universe far separated from that which he came from or now resided in..
Having grown up in a society where anthromorphic beings like himself were fairly common, he found little trouble in moving through the modernized City in order to find supplies or others to train with. Most simply assumed he was some type of gryphon, or perhaps even a phoenix; and while the latter was relatively close it didn't quite encompass what he actually was. Without his own acceptance to his nature, he typically presents himself as a perpetual odd-ball. He never really quite fit in fully anywhere he went, and while that didn't hinder his training in any way it certainly hindered his ability to establish any kind of meaningful relationship with.. anyone. He felt uncomfortable in his own skin, and that had a way of showing through when talking to others about anything other than proper techniques. He was trapped in his current state until he found a trainer, but since he had mentally supressed most of the things he'd even known about his home Universe; it was questionable as to if he even realized his disdain for being 'controlled' would forever limit his potential. He retained a wide array of techniques he could use in combat, far beyond that of your usual Pokemon who is usually limited to four. He'd also displayed an aptitude for learning different techniques, and has even been known to display the teachings of Goku (Street Fighter Universe - Ryu and Kens' Sensei) in particularly heated battles.
Despite being focused on honing his technique to perfection, he usually isn't the one to instigate a fight with a new face. Being an introvert, he didn't discuss the usual subjects when meeting someone for the first time, if he even spoke to them at all. Many times has he been asked if he were in fact deaf, for a stranger could go on for hours and never would he say a thing to them. But that didn't mean he wasn't listening, or in fact holding an entire conversation around their own within his head. He would answer them mentally with a voice once silenced by being within his own head. Throughout his years, he's found a particular liking for those that display psychic type abilities, for they often could discern his feelings concerning subjects without ever having to give them voice. A side effect of this exposure has resulted in his mental conversations being 'heard' by those around him, as if he might be developing some minor psychic power of his own. While this rarely happened considering he was never in a public setting for more than a few moments at a time, it has been something that has given his quiet demeanor a segue into perhaps one day conquering his isolation by actually finding someone who got along with him.
With all this being considered, it is wise to remember.. He is nothing like your usual Pokemon.
After encountering the Worldstriders at a Christmas Party within the Quarter, not only has he had the chance to meet some of the most powerful beings a mortal like him could encounter; he also got a new outfit! His new gi is patterned the same as his previous, but there are a few major differences. All that was red in his usual uniform has been replaced with the deepest shade of black, it could only be compared in starkness to the beautiful violet trim matching Candle_ 's own favorite shade. It also allowed him protection against cutting/slashing weapons used against him similar to that offered by chainmail, which made it ineffective against stabbing weapons. He was also given a red silk scarf by Varaxia trimmed in gold to match his own natural hair color, pairing with his own natural pigmentation perfectly. He often wears them both when not at an official tournament, so when encountering him within the Park; expect him to be wearing the violet gi and the scarf. He looks amazing with them, anyway..
While within the Quarter, he was challenged by Candle_ to a friendly spar with the stakes being the winner gets to do what they want with the loser. True to his fighting spirit, he accepted. He lost, and after his unconscious form was brought back indoors and to a bedroom within the vast house Mimzee had built; she gave him the chance to become part of her family. He took it, and she changed him into something much stronger than he could ever attain through Mega Evolution. She turned him into a Worldstrider as well as a Lampling, giving him the ability to draw from the inherent mana within the worlds' he's visited since his rebirth. With this came an alternate form of a Ralts, Kirlia, and ultimately a Gallade form he could assume at will, but one usually finds him in his natural Blazi-Ken form as pictured above. While in these alternate forms, his natural pigmentation remains the same. Where a normal Ralts would hold a white body, his is stark red and his would-be green hair is instead bright gold like his natural hair color. This carries over throughout all of his alternate forms, ensuring he looks unique among any others of his kind he might be standing nearby. His newfound control over chi (mana) can be used to greatly bolster his inherent physical strength, speed, endurance, and ultimately his longevity. He can also draw upon the power of heat sources directly, using the energy to either replenish his own stores of mana as well as healing himself incredibly quickly. When paired with his ability to produce flame without a viable fuel source to burn, he now has a remarkable method of healing himself by literally dousing his body in white-hot flames. Along with his abilities to cross into different Universes as he grows and learns how to harness his newfound abilities, his potential is limited only by his ambition. He ever seeks to attain new levels of power with which to ensure those he loves and trusts never come to harm.
As a result of his newfound family, Auhm has joined the ranks of the Worldstriders 's. He often wore a mask nowadays, a herald to his Lampling Heritage. Customs stated he was not allowed to show his real face until he was married, ensuring no one was attracted to him for physical pleasure alone (Pictured Below). He seeks to become the best martial fighter of them all, so his family can never come to harm.
Recently he has failed to turn up for local tournaments, even to the gym. It seems he has taken to staying at his home, specifically the Temple within, only wandering outside to tend his gardens. He hasn't spoken to many since this self-imposed exile, choosing to spend his time meditating and tending the grounds. No one Physical Stastics:
Height: 6'8" (Appears around 6'4" while slouching)
Weight/Class: 270lbs / Light-Heavy; Lean yet Defined
Age: 26
Sexual Preference: Bisexual, heavy homosexual lean.
Nature: Adamant
Pigmentation: His feathers are blazing orange in color, except around his feet and wrists; where they turn a mixture of blonde and gold. His hair holds the same color, and he wears it exactly as is pictured above. His hair reaches his waist, and always seems to regrow when damaged. His feet match the grey tone of his hands, which seem to be turning darker as he hones his skills. On occasion, his gold tinged 'cuffs' will erupt in a white-hot flame, causing his normally orange red feathers to turn solid black while the cuffs turn into the same gold as his hair. This has only happened once, and he's yet to attain that level of power let alone understanding of what it means to this day..
Auhm loves spending time with his family, of that there could never be a doubt. He even poses for pictures on occasion..
Even Auhm likes to dress up occasionally! Thank you Stella for the wonderful artwork~
Training can take a lot out of you, but not enough to forget his water! Thank you TheGoodSinner for the artwork, and thank you Ziana and Mimzee for the suggestions!!
Wonder how Auhm got his name?
When working out, Auhm typically doesn't want to be disturbed. Even if he is carrying a fridge.
