You convinced to get In Stars and Time. Best game I’ve played in a long while.

I’m only at the beginning of act 2, but I can’t wait to play more! Makes me want to write a story about time loops someday.

YES!!! Super glad you’re enjoying it so far. I’m a sucker for time loop stories and the found family trope, so ISAT quickly became one of my favorite games of all time.

Highly recommend everyone check it out if you haven’t! It has a free demo on Switch and Steam.

[Art Fight 2024] Delta the Mew

Attack on Delta86!

Motivated by this Tweet by @delta86-art I decided to share a Character description for Lito, the Quilava character from the cast of Pokémon I include in my drawings, which I wrote some time ago. I have not worked out the details for all the others, but I have solid ideas for what they are like.

I also have it as a PDF but Tumblr does not allow me to upload those, so here is the Google doc.

Here is the raw text without pictures:

Lito Ayrura, the Little Flame (or Flame Choker)

Race: Quilava

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Height: 0,87m / 2’10’’

Hobbies: Trying to learn high-skill magic, Hanging out with friends, causing mischief

Likes: Adventure Stories, Treasures, Strong drink called ‘Golden Elerin Brew’

Dislikes: Busy work, Foreigners, Fire, Hypocrites, Being broke, Medicine

Personality and Character:

As a young and energetic Pokémon and apprentice of an adventure guild, Lito values loyalty, honour and the desire to help those in need. He deeply admires the ideals and traditions of the guilds, but more in spirit than in letter. He presents himself as a carefree and laid-back individual, but he feels like he is constantly living in the shadow of the legacy of his older brother, who was an admired and almost legendary adventurer in the land and a reminder of Lito's weaknesses.

         Being very ambitious but impatient, he often loses sight of the small but important things. He often falls behind in combat training and class, which he believes are boring. He tries to hide his shortcomings under a mask of brashness and overconfidence and often boasts to his friends. In many situations, Lito wants to take the initiative, even if it jeopardises his personal goals or even a mission, causing him to be seen as an annoyance and a liability by others. As a result, he often gets relegated to busy work. Lito does not like to ask others for help and reacts antagonistically to those who offer it to him, preferring to solve his problems on his own. 

         Unusual for a fire Pokémon, he has a deep fear of flames, which causes him to be greatly insecure about himself. It greatly stifled his potential as an adventurer and earned him the nickname ‘Flame Choker’ from his rivals, which he strongly dislikes. Because his abilities are either useless or weak, he relies on magical items during combat. He is knowledgeable and skilled in their usage, but they are expensive merchandise, resulting in constant money problems for Lito. Thus he often finds himself forced to choose between money and guild ideals. He always wears a golden bracer and talisman, but would never sell them for anything in the world because they are invaluable heirlooms to him.

Backstory: 

Lito was born into the small Ayrura clan which ruled an unimportant island in the eastern Azure Sea near the Land of Winds. At a young age, his home town was ravaged and scorched to cinders by an enraged Groudon earth god which was set loose by an unknown foreign power. Lito lost most of his family and friends to the fires. Only a few Pokémon escaped this carnage, two of them being Lito and his older brother Lian. Only the bracer and talisman were left to them as proof of their lineage, and they became valuable artefacts to them. The brutal attack on his home and his utter inability to save his loved ones planted a deep fear of fire in his psyche.

After their escape, they began a long journey westward, on which they had to avoid pursuing bandits, bounty hunters and mysterious agents hellbent on capturing the remains of the Ayrura clan. It is only thanks to his brother that Lito survived this trip, even if barely. They ended up in the peaceful land named ‘The Golden Leaf’ where the two orphans were found and taken care of by a local adventurers guild. They adapted quickly to life in this new home. The guild master, who has had dealings with the Ayruras before, took them in as novices. Lian quickly climbed the guild ranks and became Lito's close mentor and somewhat of a second father figure. It became Lito's dream to get strong so he and his brother could go on great adventures together and save Pokémon who could not help themselves, something Lian promised him, despite Lito's struggle to learn fire abilities and techniques.

Powers and Abilities:

As a Pokémon of the Fire Nature, he has the same resistances and weaknesses against other magic forms as any other fire Pokémon. For instance, he is resistant to Grass techniques, but he is weak against techniques of Ground, Rock and Water.

Naturally, he can use four combat abilities consistently. His specific skill set consists of the techniques commonly known as ‘Quick Attack’, a quick physical strike, ‘Smoke Screen’, a cloud of thick smoke that blinds enemies, and his strongest moves, Fire Wheel and Swift, two powerful attacks which cause large amounts of damage. His fear of fire prevents Lito from using ‘Fire Wheel’ unless he is under dire stress. If he uses it, he passes out from mental overload, leaving him vulnerable for some time. ‘Swift�� is a high-level ability and thus often fails, resulting in an explosion which can cause Lito to take heavy damage.

To compensate for his flaws, Lito mainly fights using his good knowledge of magical combat items, which he carries around in his bag or a bundle on his back. Combined with his ‘Smoke Screen’ ability, he uses those items mainly for crowd control. Thus he can quickly either stun, slow, confuse, or make his targets fall asleep. But for the really strong foes, these effects might only last a short amount of time, so Lito often relies on the assistance of others. These items can also only be used a couple of times before they lose their power, so Lito has to use them sparingly.

ArtFight Attack #4 is for @delta86-art

[valdederon]

a work in progress poke script im working on thanks to seeing @delta86-art and thier wonderful scirpt design i think im getting the hang of it

[azurityarts]

Here's what I've got, @delta86-art!

Thanks for the submission! Ali is full of personality and charm; it was lovely drawing her! ^^

[teshadraws]

How do moves like substitue work in the seekers world?

Y’all ever seen Naruto? Where they hit someone with an attack and suddenly the body poofs away to show that they were actually hitting a log?

It works like that. 😂

[delta86-art]

It’s weird how every time I finish an art piece my skills just spontaneously level up when I start a new work. Like, it’s not a gradual improvement of skill but a sudden burst of dramatic growth instead.

It’s not an isolated incident either this happens after EVERY. SINGLE. ARTWORK.

I’m curious to know if other people get this feeling as well.

[teshadraws]

How does the guild decide who is and who isn’t an outlaw? I guess a better thing to ask would be what keeps the different guilds from having different laws?

The guilds all run under the same set of general laws that were created by the initial founders! That group included Bethoc the eldegoss, the first guildmaster of the Lexym Guild.

The laws are pretty basic in the Pokemon world, covering the main things you’d expect: no stealing, no destruction of someone else’s home, no intentionally harming or killing another Pokemon, that sort of thing. Any smaller or region/type-specific issues are either hashed out by the involved parties or handled on a case-by-case basis by someone from the guild who is qualified to do so!

[teshadraws]

I remember Tobias or someone else mentioning that Bethoc’s Haven was experiencing a drought. Wildfire foreshadowing? I feel like something bad is going to happen while Nia and Tobias are gone.

Ooh, that would be very intense!!! I won’t confirm or deny, but it certainly wouldn’t be impossible. 👀

[teshadraws]

How did you come up with the names for your characters?

Most of my character names are consciously chosen for their meanings! So Nia’s name means “purpose,” or “bright.” Which is very fitting! Tobias’ name means “God is good,” which is an interesting contrast to his demeanor towards the world and its gods.

A few more examples from side characters:

Xander means “defender of mankind.”

Val means “strong, fierce, or brave.”

Junie’s name (Juniper) means “young.”

Samir means “a friend to talk to in the evening.”

Pretty much every semi-important character is given a name that is relevant in some way to their personality or role in the story.
