Sola/Little Nox Dissidia au

@raven-6-10 @secret-engima

The promised trainwreck under the cut!

The Citadel's been a wreck of tension ever since Spitfire and the prince went missing. Abyssus yowling fit to wake the dead brought the on-duty glaives running to find Sola's bed empty, phone still on her bedside table and all her shoes still in her closet, all signs pointing to an unwilling departure despite a clear absence of any sign of a struggle.

They'd raised the alarm, checking on the rest of the royal family and their retinue-

-and found Prince Noctis' bed as empty as his sister's.

Then, while Citadel security was swarming like a kicked anthill, spearheaded by a blackly furious Marshal and King's Shield looking for their godschildren, those guarding the Crystal had sounded the alarm.

Which is when they'd found their missing royals, via the Crystal putting out a hologram of the two like something from a bad science fiction movie.

Tredd hasn't gotten a decent night's sleep in four days.

If it's not the palpable worry radiating from the King racking up the tension, then it's the fact that the royal children have been summoned to a desolate world to participate in what's essentially a glorified death match on opposite teams, during which Prince Noctis is in nothing but his pajamas.

No one is ever again calling Sola's insistence on keeping her deployment bags in her armiger frivolous.

Though, if Tredd has to be completely honest, Sola's younger brother's lack of proper attire is only a fraction of what's causing the tension. No, the bulk of it goes to Spitfire's newest Uncle and now youngest brother. The once-Chancellor of Niflheim and Captain's kid. Captain's kid who's apparently the Crown Prince's clone, created from a sample Niflheim stole how knows how many years back.

Luche had dipped out to make a phone call to Axis, because those are Arra braids in Ardyn and Nox's hair, and Axis had completely neglected to mention that his recent adoptees were Lucis Caelums, leaving Tredd to watch Axis' clansmen on this fucked-up version of reality TV.

Nyx has been teaching Spitfire the Ulric Dance ever since her Rage a few months back clued them all into the fact that Spitfire's as Sky-born as anyone can get without being an actual dragon - and seriously, Tredd is this close to shaking Nyx, the idiot needs to adopt her already, for Ramuh's sake - so he's in the room whenever he's not sleeping. Which means Libertus is also here, making sure Nyx does take the time to sleep because the last thing any of them need is the twitchy Ulric doing something Dumb, aided by Abyssus literally carrying Nyx out of the room when it's time to catch some shut eye.

Crowe's anxiously watching her girlfriend fight off various monsters and champions, fingers plucking at the rubber band Crowe's worn on her wrist ever since the Burning. This hadn't been how Sola and Crowe had wanted Sola's family to find out about that particular relationship, but Crowe had adamantly refused to be barred from the room for a second until Sola came back.

Luche, like Tredd, is there as Axis' braided brother, leaving the rest of the Fourth Regiment to attend in shifts depending who's on break, with Pelagia and her Third Regiment counterpart running everything because Captain is also busy watching this clusterfuck.

The Marshal's not left since the whole thing started - has he even slept? - but the King and Shield have to leave for short periods to make token appearances lest the entire country learn the royal children have disappeared into the ether. Gladiolus and Ignis have to be forced out of the room for their studies, which has apparently resulted in temper tantrums worthy of a Raging Sola, but the two young teens have yet to convince the King, Shield, or Marshal otherwise so the process repeats every day without fail.

Sola latching on to her new uncle and brother isn't a surprise. She's Sky-born, they do that. Especially because for all that the ex-Chancellor is clearly missing more than a few lines to his sails, he equally as clearly cares for and is protective of his niece and nephews, despite his distaste for Regis and Mors.

Were it not for the danger to her brothers, Sola would probably be having fun. The chance to cut loose against other skilled fighters? No one looming over her shoulder, scrutinizing her every action and deeming anything not up to their standards as 'monstruous'? Sola would have loved that in any other scenario.

But Spitfire has two brothers to protect, and Tredd swears under his breath when Sola assigns herself to Noctis and Nox's guard team, instead letting Ardyn join the strike team. The self-sacrificing dumbass.

"Care to explain that?"

Whoops.

Tredd cringes away from the Marshal's displeasure, silently thanking the Storm-Father that the King and Lord Amicitia are off in an unavoidable meeting with one of the Councilors.

"Sola is better suited on the strike team, sir." Luche says politely, before Tredd can stick his foot further in his mouth. "She's not usually charged with guard duties in the field."

The Marshal eyes them both severely. "Izunia is stronger than Sola." He says sourly. The revelation of the former Chancellor's heritage and all it's unpleasant implications hasn't been fun for anyone. "He can take a smaller strike team, freeing more people to guard Noctis and Nox." Unsaid is the fact that neither Sola nor Ardyn will leave the princes alone with strangers.

"Yes, sir." Luche demurs. That had been the argument Sola used to convince Ardyn.

(Tredd hadn't thought anyone could be more protective than Sola of her brothers, but Ardyn has her beat by a mile. Ifrit have mercy on whoever tries to harm either of the princes in the future, because Sola and Ardyn sure as Pyre won't, and Tredd doubts there'll be enough of the moron in question afterwards to scatter their ashes.)

Tactically, the assignments have merit. As Tredd exchanges a glance with an equally grim-faced Luche, he knows tactics aren't what they - or any of the glaives - are worried about.

Spitfire doesn't do defense. It's not a matter of skill. Tredd wouldn't be worried if it was, skill they can compensate for.

No, the issue is that Sola's a damn dragon of a Sword. Her first, second, and third instinct when dealing with threats is to kill it. She can't do that on defense - her priority has to be Noctis and Nox's safety, even if it means letting her target escape.

It's not impossible. Not when she's got help.

And yet Tredd can't shake the feeling that this isn't going to end any way but badly.

Tredd's right.

Two days later, everything goes to Ifrit's Pyre in a gift basket.

The strike team is away, trying to complete whatever the objective is that will send them all home.

(Ardyn is a force of destruction to contend with, tearing through enemies like they're tissue paper, making the King pale with an anguished epiphany he refused to share.)

The ambush catches everyone off guard. The strange dragon-like creatures swarm the protective detail. The healers push Nox and Noctis behind them, the champions better suited for close quarters combat struggling to keep the creatures off their more vulnerable companions.

In the commotion, Tredd doesn't see what sparks it, but he sure as Pyre sees when Spitfire loses it.

A low snarl rips from her throat, gaze and focus narrowing down on the threat in front of her.

Crowe swears. "Pyre-damn it all, someone back her up-"

But none of the other champions are watching Sola's back. They're too busy with their own battles, too busy keeping the kids safe. They don’t notice how Spitfire's been drawn away from the rest of the group, don't see the blind spot left vulnerable without a glaive or Abyssus there to cover her.

If Sola's family hadn’t known before, they've sure as Pyre realized it now. It's impossible to miss the glaives' reactions - Luche's grim certainty, Libertus' hand a physical restraint on Nyx's shoulder, Nyx's hands clenching and unclenching as he resists the useless instinct to grab his kukris and throw, Crowe's snarling at people who cannot hear, the way every muscle in Tredd's frame coils as he fights off the Fury rising like a wave-

-and crests, as Spitfire staggers, the attack she doesn't see ripping through her. Magic erupts throughout the room as Sola's eyes widen and her face twists in an agonized cry that has no breath to voice.

Sola hits the ground, and Nox s c r e a m s.

Ghostly weapons tear through the remaining creatures, a constant stream of light and steel that is nothing like any armiger they've seen. Champions startle as weapons pass through them harmlessly only to shred the creatures around them, until nothing remains.

The healers rush to Sola's side, but even from here, Tredd can see that it's bad. Really bad - he doesn't know if Spitfire's going to make it even with three healers and her own regeneration trying to save her life.

There's another burst of magic and Ardyn arrives, terrified and protective - Nox's magic must have alerted him, but Tredd doesn't know what the ex-Chancellor can do that the healers can't, Lucis Caelum magic just doesn't heal…

Ardyn takes in Nox, boneless with exhaustion and sobbing in Noctis' hold. Noctis, trying to keep it together. The champions doing their best to shield them from where Sola is laying on the ground between the healers.

(None of them can see it in the blue of the Crystal's hologram, how Sola is too pale against the shock of red hair haloed around her face, nearly indistinguishable from the blood staining the grass.)

Something in Ardyn's spine steels. He strides forward, ignoring the champions' attempts to keep him back, shedding his upper layers before he kneels and gathers Sola against his bare chest.

(The scars hit Tredd like a sucker punch. They've all seen some gnarly scars, no one survived the Burning unscathed, but these… these are torture scars. Torture scars and death blows and the glowing sigil of the royal family that can't be anything other than a brand.)

(The King is white as a sheet. Tredd wants to throw up. Parents are supposed to support you, not… not this.)

(Six, no wonder Axis kept Ardyn and Nox's heritage a secret. That Ardyn is able to trust and care for any of his Kin is astounding.)

It's not until magic rises from Ardyn's skin that Tredd realized what's happening. That he realizes what the tint of the Crystal's magic had disguised. But he's seen Spitfire heal others dozens of times out in the field, he recognizes this shaping of magic, and Ardyn is so much stronger than Spitfire-

It doesn't make it any easier to watch as Ardyn's skin splits, his blooding pouring out to join Sola's painting the ground. Doesn't make it any easier to watch as his wounds close, Ardyn gasping and trembling from more than just pain as he curls over his healed but unconscious niece, even as Noctis and Nox barrel in to comfort him.

Tredd's almost relieved when the Marshal turns to them and demands, "What the fuck just happened?"

As one, every glaive turns to Nyx. He's the only Chief present, he's the only one who can make the decision to share Galahdian lore with Outsiders as he has been with Sola.

Nyx stares a few moments longer at Sola's too-still form, hands flexing. Finally, he turns to face the Marshal and the King, expression dark as a thunderstorm. "We call it the Draconian's Rage."

"We?" The King's eyes are sharp. Tredd thinks he sees something of the warrior the King must have been when he visited Galahd twenty years ago.

"Galahd. The Draconian and the Infernian weren't the only Astrals to Bless humans. The magic disappeared long before the time of the Founder, but we still Remember." Nyx glances back to where the healers are fussing over Sola and Ardyn and Nox. "You have the Draconian's Blessing. But the Draconian isn't human."

Nyx turns back to the King, storm-blue locking with armiger-blue. "The Astrals aren't human, and sometimes their Blessed aren't either."

The King's lips thin. "You're saying my daughter isn't human." Treading on dangerous ground - the King's never taken kindly to the rumors painting Sola a monster.

"Physically, she is." Nyx says, steady as the cliffs against the storm-swept tides. "In her soul? Her instincts? She's no more human than I am."

That startles the King. "You are-?"

"Ramuh's. Storm to Sola's Sky."

There were rumors that the Ulrics were Ramuh's Blessed. Coeurl-Kin. Shape-changers and Wind-Walkers and as Black as the storms in their souls.

Tredd never thought he'd hear the rumors confirmed. This is Clan History. Private Clan History only ever shared with Clan Allies. If that.

"We thought you knew." Tredd says, trying to buy some leeway for Nyx. Tredd can't reveal that he's also not-quite human. Not without his Chief's permission. He might be able to get away with telling Sola - it's only a matter of time before she joins the Clans - but King Regis? Tredd would be in serious trouble. "You have thousands of years of history. Family customs as unique as any of ours." Customs catering specifically to those non-human instincts, Tredd doesn't say.

Tredd suspected otherwise after Sola's Rage in HQ. Sola didn't know anything about her Rages, only that she'd get so angry she couldn't think beyond needing to kill something. She was terrified that she'd try to kill anyone near her, hence her retreating somewhere secluded until she could regain control over herself. When she'd come out of her Rage to find Nyx and Tredd at the end of her weapons, injured but otherwise in one piece, she'd been horrified that she might have tried to kill them.

She hadn't known that she wouldn't. That even in the deepest Rage, her instincts would recognize the difference between hers and threat. Sola would never harm an innocent bystander. Not on purpose. Not unless they provoked her first.

So Tredd had suspected. He didn't want to believe it - how could the Lucis Caelums not have any information of the Draconian's Blessed? He knows Mainlanders don't keep Tales like the Clans do, but they do keep records! Sola cannot be the first Lucis Caelum to be Skyborn!

But no. The royal family has no clue.

What a mess.

"What does that mean for Sola?" The Marshal asks while the King processes Nyx's revelation.

"She's protective." Crowe says. Tredd snorts at the understatement of the century. "She'll react violently to anything threatening her Claimed. Lethally, if she can - Skyborn don't like leaving threats alive to try again."

"Prince Noctis and Nox are her only vulnerable Claimed. Prince Nox has his uncle to protect and care for him, which will satisfy Sola's instincts." Because nothing short of an Astral will be able to get past Ardyn to harm Nox, and even then Tredd would still put his money on Ardyn. "But Sola's Sword to Prince Noctis, and the oldest and strongest of his Retinue. She's his primary protector. Not being allowed or able to kill anything threatening him will stress her instincts."

The Marshal grimaces, glancing at the King and Shield. Tredd wonders if he's thinking about how Sola came to join the Kingsglaive. She'd eventually told them the circumstances behind her joining their training, one night out on deployment. Knowing now that Sola's Skyborn, that was a really Stupid decision on the King's part, banning Sola from protecting her disabled brother. The King was lucky Sola didn't try to sneak out of Insomnia after them.

"When she's under a lot of stress, she'll lose her grasp of human language." Tredd tells them. Tredd's never had that happen to him, but he also knows that as far as Seaborn instincts go, his are fairly tame. Sola, unfortunately, is way out on the extreme end of the scale. "Sign language she can comprehend, and that empathic thing she does with her magic. She'll lose her words before she Rages, so if it's that bad don't bother talking to her. She won't hear it."

Another glance between Sola's relatives. Six, how many signs had they missed?

Tredd determinedly ignores it. "When she's Raging, either give her space to work through it or spar with her. Sola won't hold back, but she won't try to kill you. But if you need to step out of the fight, make it physically clear that you surrender. Weapons away, hands down and open, on your knees and throat bared if you have to."

The King frowns. "That seems… dangerous."

"Not with Sola." Nyx says before Tredd's temper leads him to say something snarky and unwise to the King. "She'll always recognize her own."

"Shit's starting up again." Luche suddenly says.

Everyone turns back to the Crystal, conversation tabled.

For now.

We need to talk about X-Men '97!

October 31st, 1992, saw the release of the iconic X-Men animated series. It quickly gained praise and viewership from its audience. For years, it has been regarded as one of the most high-quality animated adaptations.

This year, the X-Men Animated Series finally gains a sequel; X-Men '97. The next chapter in Marvel's Uncanny Mutants is only halfway through its season. Its journey is only just beginning, and it has already gained praise from critics.

Welcome to the House of Milesverse. Today, we will be talking about X-Men '97, and its growing impact. I hope you enjoy the read and remember to (SNIKT) leave a comment or suggestion, bub.

WARNING. THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

'97's story:

Unsurprising to anyone, '97 picks up a year after the events of the last episode. With Charles Xavier gone, Cyclops has taken full reins over the team. The X-Men are facing off against new and dangerous challenges.

'97 has a timeless vibe to its story, almost as if you never left. These are still the same characters as they were before. The X-Men's lore and story within the animated continuity have not changed.

Much like its predecessor, '97 also provides some interesting adaptations. For an example, look no further than Madelyne Pryor, the clone of Jean Grey. In just one episode, the series condensed the events of her story.

Another good example is their destruction of Genosha. Watching it play out on the screen was such a shocker. Its destruction was carried out by Cassandra Nova in the comics. Interestingly enough, she's completely absent from the series, with this being a conspiracy done by Bolivar Trask.

The X-Men have been missed.

Dear X-Men, we have missed you.

X-Men's animated series is in line with other serious, action-heavy stories from that time. Their story focuses on the message of hate, and the real-world issues it can relate to. The persecution that mutants feel has often been used to represent various minority groups across history.

In addition, the original series combined that with beautifully made animation. The action scenes have been well-remembered by fans for years. The animated series has become such a beloved part of the animated media circle within comic books. For anyone who's a fan of our merry mutants, they definitely have spent some time with this show.

97 has proven to be a perfect follow-up by many fans. In just two episodes, 97 was able to impress the audience. It's following in the footsteps of its predecessor. X-Men 97's acclaim and interest can only rise, especially thanks to it's renewal.

What's so different?

These may be the same mutants you have met, but their voices are not. Some of the actors, such as Norm Spencer (the original voice for Cyclops) unfortunately passed away over the years. Others have been recast to play different characters.

Here are what I feel are the most notable additions:

Cyclops is now voiced by Ray Chase, well known for being the voice of numerous characters such as Noctis Lucis Caelum (FF15), Bruno Bucciarati (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), Tengen Uzui (Demon Slayer), Roy (Fire Emblem), and the Master of Masters (Kingdom Hearts)

Jean Grey (and Madelyne Pryor) is now voiced by Jennifer Hale, well known for being the voice of Commander Shepherd (Mass Effect), Princess Morbucks (Powerpuff Girls), and one of the Hex Girls, Thorn (Scooby-Doo). It's also worth noting that Jennifer Hale reprises the role, as she initially had it during Wolverine and the X-Men.

Gambit is an interesting case, as his prior voice actor, Chris Potter, is now playing Cable. He's instead voiced by A.J. LoCascio, who does voice work for both Prince Lotor (Voltron: Legendary Defender) and Marty McFly (Back To The Future: The Game).

Speaking of? Cable is voiced by Chris Potter now, whose done work as Peter Caine (Kung-Fu: The Legend Continues), and Evan Owen (The Young and The Restless).

Cable's old voice actor was Lawrence Bayne, but he was replaced by Chris Potter. Ironically enough, Lawrence Bayne plays a new character who debuts in the same episode as Cable's birth, The X-Cutioner. Lawrence Bayne is known as the voice of Gill (Street Fighter III: Third Strike) and Raven (Gargoyles).

Lastly? Jubilee's old voice actress, Alyson Court, wanted someone of Asian descent to portray her. That is where Holly Chou comes in, acting as the new voice of Jubilee. She did the voice work for Akame (Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name). It is also worth noting that Alyson Court acted as the voice of an older Jubilee in an episode, named Abscissa.

As you can see, a lot has changed with the voice cast of the X-Men series. Some characters who were voiced by older actors had been replaced. Others, like Cal Dodd (The voice of Wolverine) and Alison-Sealy Smith (The voice of Storm) still reprise their iconic roles.

While much has changed? At the end of the day, these new actors all still portray the spirit of the character. Ray Chase for example makes for a standout, with how closely he sounds to Norm Spencer's Cyclops.

What to look forward to & Conclusion

X-Men '97 is heating up, and we are already almost at the end. If you haven't checked it out yet, then I recommend it. The series is short, but its episodes all have a distinct impact and role. They not only move the plot forward but also help the characters to grow.

My hope is that Superhero Animation swings back into full gear. I remember as a kid it felt like it was practically already there. From the 90s to the 2000s, you could not miss it. The DC Animated Universe, for example, stands out as one of the best superhero animation projects. An entire generation grew up on those stories, and those adventures.

X-Men shows that its importance and value to people matters. Much like the DCAU, it raised so many children and was their first introduction to the X-Men. It stands out as one of the most iconic superhero action cartoons ever, and frankly? It's earned its title.

I think the future of superhero animation is steadily climbing back up. We have had great animated series, such as Invincible, Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur, My Adventures with Superman, and now? X-Men '97.

This has been a wonderful episode of House of MilesVerse. I hope you join us for a deep dive into our favorite robots in disguise. I'll be doing a full review of Transformers: Earthspark.

And? If you didn't know it, then now you know. We'll chronicle some adventures of Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur.

Junior Monster Hunter -Noctis Lucis Caelum-

masterlist | request

Prompt: Can I get ffxv noctis x reader where the reader asks him to look after their little cousin around the age of 7 for the day, the kid is very rambunctious and likes to blow things up for science and also to fight demons. Can I get noct’s interaction with them. Since he’s not that good with social skills and with small kids in general and has to balance that with fighting monsters?

Pairing: Noctis Lucis Caelum / Reader

Summary:

Word Count: 1.0k

Noctis is someone who is naturally awkward around people in general, that is especially true for children.

So when you asked him to watch your cousin for the day, The prince instantly wanted to say no. However when he saw the sweet hopeful look on your face, he couldn’t say disagree.

Once the nod brought his head up and down, your arms around their way around his neck to bring him into a warm hug.

As your whispers of gratitude filled his ears, his mind and heart battled. His mind wanted to come up with a quick lie about his father needing him, or already made plans with Prompto for that day.

While his heart only heard your excited, joyous words thanking him for agreeing.

His arms made their way around your waist, pulling you closer to his cheat. A smile rested on his face at the soft contract. For a moment the prince forgot what he agreed to, until you pulled away and started speaking.

“So my cousin is about 7. They have a lot of energy so you can’t just sit around all day, and please don’t take them fishing. They’ll just get bored and scare all the fish off. Oh and they’ll be here around 11.”

Noctis watched in shock as you maneuvered around the room talking while gathering all your belongings. The words quickly falling from your lips, go in one ear and directly out the other. Before he could ask you to repeat yourself, you’re already halfway out the door wishing him a good day.

♡♡♡♡♡

Noctis spent the next few hours pacing. For every activity he thought of a downside would cross his mind.

He thought about just staying inside and watching television all day, but they could have just done that at home. Maybe he could show them around Insomnia. Let them see places they normally would never see, but who wants to spend the day walking around.

Before the prince could think of a solid idea a knock came on his door. A timid voice called out his name, a voice he quickly recognized as your relative.

As soon as he opened the door, his mouth open along with it to ask questions. But he was stopped when a young kid was pushed passed him and he read your family members rushed words.

“Thank you for watching them on short notice. I’m running last already sorry.”

Once again Noctis stood stoned as the door slammed. He processed the encounter until an unknown voice spoke up “So, what are we doing today?” They spoke so fast Noctis had to repeat the sentence several times just to understand them.

“Uhhh. I didn’t really have anything planed. “ Noctis scratched the back of this head and glanced around the room, hoping an activity would pop into his head.

Sadly that didn’t happen. Instead the prince stood awkwardly inside his own home while a kid he’s never meet waited for Noctis to entertain them.

“What do you like to do for fun?” Noctis asked. The young kid thought for a moment before starting to spew out different things he liked to do. Most were normal thing he could do at any point. However one thing stood out to the young man.

“I like fighting monsters and deamons.” The kids response was timid but still caught Noctis’ attention. “My mom doesn’t like when I do it since it’s dangerous.”

Noctis thought for a moment before holding out his hand to summon his sword. The moment the bright blue light began to swirl around the royal’s hang, the young kid face lights up. A loud gasp filled their ears as the Engine Blade appears.

“Well, your mom isn’t here now. So you wanna go kill some?”

Your cousin couldn’t contain their excitement as they rush over to the door and swung it open. Noctis let out a deep chuckle before following after.

♡♡♡♡♡

Once the pair made it outside the monster free confines of the city, the sun has begun to set. For a moment Noctis considered turning around and heading back towards safety. Yet as he look sideways towards kid and saw the amount of joy they had, it made him drive even faster.

“Look!” Your cousin suddenly shouted.

Noctis slammed on the brakes and looked over towards a shadowy green field with several Goblin and a few Imp messing around in the grass.

Noctis putt over to the side turned the car off. Before they could jump out, Noctis grabbed the kids out.

“I know your excited but right now it’s too dangerous. I’m going to go in and narrow them down a bit. Okay?” The young kid scoffed and began to argue, but stopped when they saw the serious look on the prince’s face.

Noctis offered a small smile before hopping out of the car.

Within a few minutes the once large group has been dwindled down to only a few weaker deamons. With a hang movement, Noctis motioned the kid to join the fight.

Your cousin ran in with a scream and started slashing the enemies. Noctis stood back and watched carefully, ready to jump in at the first sight of danger. Once all the enemies were eliminated the young one stood up straight and turned to the older man with a shy smile on his face.

“Not Bad” Noctis spoke before turning to walk back towards the car

♡♡♡♡♡

For the next few hours the pair drove around, defeating deamons whenever they could. Slowly Noctis to see the once energetic kid slow down to the point they were falling asleep in the passenger seat.

This made Noctis himself begin to feel his own tiredness slowly take over.

Not long after Noctis placed your sleeping relative on the couch, you walked through the door.

At first sight of the sleeping child, you instantly quiet your actions. Carefully you walk back to the bedroom and change into different clothes.

“Did you have fun?” You asked once back with the sleepy pair.

Noctis glanced down at the child sleeping on the couch before looking back up at you, and when a soft smile on his face, nodded.

“Yeah I did. I’m glad you asked me to do this.”

noctis lucis caelum, small analysis of his personality & growth.

in the opening chapters of the game, we meet a young prince indulged in the luxuries of his royal status. he seemed to shirk away from the weight of responsibilities, presenting an image of idleness and a steadfast refusal to engage in anything that hinted at accountability. while others might have hastily labelled him lazy, beneath this facade laid a much deeper struggle—a battle with a lack of self - esteem.

the death of his father, king regis, was something he had long known, a looming inevitability. however, when the moment finally arrived and the crown was thrust upon him, the prince was adrift in a sea of uncertainty. hesitant to embrace leadership and sceptical of his role as the chosen king, he grappled with the shadows of self - doubt even as he gathered the royal weapons.

his actions, always borne out of obligation rather than genuine desire, were a product of the comfort he found in his princely role.

then, the harsh realities of life started to hit him like a sudden storm: luna's death, ignis losing his eyesight, gladius threatening the bonds of friendship and brotherhood. and it took the stripping away of his powers, something he once viewed as mere playthings rather than substantial responsibilities for the kingdom, that forced him to no longer be propelled by infantile revenge and selfish desires, but to act for the world's greater good instead.

this marked a pivotal moment in his story, a turning point where he chose to grow up, embracing the responsibilities and challenges that leadership entailed. the comforts of his prince role, once a sanctuary, faded away as he ventured beyond, ready to face the world with newfound purpose and maturity.

and so, the spoiled prince became a king, not by birthright alone but through the crucible of trials that shaped his character and destiny.

BIOS (Deceased muses)

NAME: Zane (VA: Ray Chase - Noctis Lucis Caelum) TITLE: “The One Known as Lightning” HEIGHT: 4' SPECIES: Marowak/Necrozma, Human (Former) BIRTHDAY: 10/31 GENDER: Non-Binary SEXUALITY: Demi Gay FIGHT STYLE: European Sword Martial Arts WEAPON: Thunderseal ABILITY: Lightning Rod STATUS: Deceased (Cause of Death - supernova due to internal Necrozma core destabilizing; Ageless at the time of death)

Zane was once a human, depressed and living day to day. That was until they had a sudden seizure, and woke up in the far future as a Cubone. Here they met and befriended Solaris, a Charmander with an ambition, and the two would form a rescue team together. The pair went on many grand adventures together, and through this Zane gained a sense of purpose and the comfort of family. During the situation with getting Cadenza home, Zane was stabbed. However, their Necrozma core - formed when they absorbed Necrozma's light - was punctured. Zane had only a matter of days to live, and on their way to tell Solaris the news the core grew more and more unstable. Zane had to flee to space, where the core entered meltdown and burst their body. No trace of Zane's body, or soul, remained. The only remnants of Zane are the brilliant silver nebula that paints the sky, and the memories of them that everyone in Flora carries.

NAME: Vance (VA: Vic Chao - Kenshi) TITLE: “Unparalleled Blind Samurai” HEIGHT: 4'3" SPECIES: Lucario BIRTHDAY: 12/01 GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Asexual Bi-romantic FIGHT STYLE: Iaido WEAPON: Minugahana (Aura-enhanced katana) ABILITY: Steadfast STATUS: Deceased (Cause of Death - Fatally stabbed in his smithing shop; age 26 at time of death)

Vance had a hard and arduous life. He was blinded at a young age, and was bullied and excommunicated by his mother and brother. He eventually was taken in by another Lucario, named Jonas, who trained him and helped him to see with his aura sight. He would eventually seek out Team Destiny, and joined the team. Vance found success with the team, and even found a mate and had a child, Noel. He retired after the fight with Necrozma, founding his own smithing shop in Flora. He was, unfortunately, assaulted and stabbed by a gang led by Pavarotti in his own shop. Noel found Vance's body, and buried him and his blade at his and Aura's mountain home in Snapdragon.

NAME: Xan (VA: Matthew Mercer - Fei Long (Street Fighter IV)) TITLE: “Dancer Engulfed in Flame” AGE: 35 HEIGHT: 5'9" SPECIES: Blaziken, Human (Former) BIRTHDAY: 11/06 GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Bi FIGHT STYLE: Capoeira WEAPON: None ABILITY: Speed Boost STATUS: Deceased (cause of death - soul rendered beyond saving due to LaPlante; soul energy merged with Kita; Age 35 at time of death)

Xan was the guildmaster at the guild in Alstroemeria. He was running it until he got his memories back and reconnected with his brother Zane. Xan then stepped down, wanting to get back into adventuring and joining up with Team Destiny. Xan would retire from the team after the fight against Sabbath, but would return some years later to continue helping the team. His use of Capoeira is second to none, and his kicks will leave marks on his target. Much like his brother, Xan is a bit antisocial, but is far more outgoing than Zane ever was.

NAME: Urie (VA: Mark Gatha - Domon Kasshu (Mobile Fighter G Gundam)) TITLE: “Mighty Muay Thai Master” AGE: 22 HEIGHT: 2'4" SPECIES: Mawile BIRTHDAY: 04/12 GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Bi FIGHT STYLE: Muay Thai WEAPON: None ABILITY: Hyper Cutter STATUS: Deceased (cause of death - soul rendered beyond saving due to LaPlante; soul energy merged with Cadenza; Age 22 at time of death)

Urie helps Team Neo Destiny to the best of his ability. After the riots, his kicks became weaker due to the strain on them during the aftermath, though he does train his legs daily to get them fighting fit. The Mawile spends his off days baking and cooking for both Team Neo Destiny and for Zane and their family. He has plans to open a bakery once he retires from rescue work.

NAME: Miles (VA: Luci Christian - Nami) TITLE: “Sassy Supportive Blood Sister” HEIGHT: 2' SPECIES: Sylveon BIRTHDAY: 05/26 GENDER: Female SEXUALITY: Bi FIGHT STYLE: None WEAPON: None ABILITY: Cute Charm STATUS: Deceased (Cause of Death - punched through the stomach saving Urie; Age 19 at time of death)

Miles was Urie's blood sibling. She was a part of a famous family of thieves, known to steal from wealthy Pokemon and give back to poor and struggling families. The pair made a blood oath when they met at the orphanage the two lived at, with Miles being sent to it for her own safety. After that orphanage burned down, Miles and Urie became displaced, and traveled the continent of Flora looking for a spot to live at. The pair landed in Alstroemeria, and they were taken in by Solaris. Their lives were busy, but overall peaceful. That was until an Urshifu named Sabbath, a member of a gang that her family regularly stole from, nabbed Miles and took her away to be executed. Urie and the rest of the team would prevent the execution, but in a last ditch effort Miles saved her blood sibling by throwing herself in front of a fatal punch. She died that day due to her wounds, and she is buried next to the team's home.

NAME: Angel (VA: Dawn M. Bennett - Kale) TITLE: “The Gentle Yet Giant Beast” HEIGHT: 8' SPECIES: Silvally BIRTHDAY: 06/13 GENDER: Female SEXUALITY: Asexual FIGHT STYLE: None WEAPON: None ABILITY: RKS System STATUS: Deceased (Cause of Death - Suicide via Self Destruct; Age ??? at time of death)

Angel was a genetic experiment, created by Pokemon wanting to resurrect a long extinct species. She was deemed unusable due to her only taking the Fairy-type memory, and was set to be killed off with all other experiments. She went on a rampage, and destroyed the lab she grew up in. She was found and rescued by Zane and Solaris, and she agreed to join the team since she had no other place to go. When Miles was taken, Angel stayed back with Misha and beck to defend the house should any of Sabbath's men show up. With Beck and Misha in critical condition, and with her surrounded at all sides by ghost types, Angel sacrificed her self and used Self Destruct to scare them away, knowing that her attack wouldn't harm them. She died standing up, and with a smile on her beak.

NAME: Aurelio (VA: Ogie Banks - Venom (Guilty Gear Xrd)) TITLE: “Master of Ghastly Darkness” AGE: 26 HEIGHT: 5’ SPECIES: Zoroark BIRTHDAY: 01/25 GENDER: Male SEXUALITY: Bi FIGHT STYLE: Gale Claw (similar to Southern Dragon Kung Fu) WEAPON: None ABILITY: Illusion STATUS: Deceased (cause of death - soul rendered beyond saving due to LaPlante; Merged with Noel; Age 26 at time of death)

Aurelio is a runaway kid, and was always on the wrong side of the law. That was until he was placed on community service with Team Destiny. He was captured by the government and sentenced to death, but Zane and the team came to rescue him, even though it cost them their reputation. Aurelio then changed for the better, getting to know everyone on the team and working on missions. With Zane now gone, Aurelio has decided to step up and return to the limelight, hoping to do right by his first true friend. Even though he has gotten better, he still has the knack to steal like he used to, on rare occasions.

NAME: Isaak (VA: Sam Riegel - Ky Kiske) Height: 5'4" SPECIES: Delphox BIRTHDAY: 06/26 GENDER: Genderless SEXUALITY: Gay MOVES: Magic Room, Telekinesis, Mystical Fire, Summon Familiar, Cast Spell ABILITY: Magician STATUS: Deceased (Cause of Death - Soul absorbed into the Tree of Souls; Ageless at time of death)

Isaak was the God of Life, being given the title after Flora raised into the sky. After Xerneas created the Tree of Souls, she transferred her powers to the Delphox, becoming mortal once more and perishing shortly after. When the Clairvoyant Disease spread to Jirachi, Isaak stayed to fight them. After the fight, Isaak was infected, and they retreated into the Tree of Souls to gain power. Cadenza would defeat them with the help of Jirachi, but Arceus punished Isaak for breaking the spoken word of all of the Gods - to never willingly throw yourself into harm's way lest the delicate balance of the world begin to crumble. Isaak was stripped of their godhood, with it being given to Alisa, and was ordered to sacrifice themselves to the Tree of Souls. The Delphox's soul was sent into the Tree, and the door to Heaven's Gate, the world inside of the Tree, was closed permanently to prevent further harm to the souls inside.

NAME: Heart (VA: Stephanie Young - Nico Robin) TITLE: “Wielder of Deafening Flames” HEIGHT: 5'01" SPECIES: Typhlosion (Hisuian) BIRTHDAY: 06/19 GENDER: Female SEXUALITY: Lesbian FIGHT STYLE: Aikido WEAPON: None ABILITY: Flash Fire STATUS: Deceased (cause of death - stabbed by Zane while they were having a hallucination; Age 20 at time of death)

Heart, born both deaf and mute, was displaced at a young age. Her parents had mysteriously vanished one night, leaving the then Quilava on her own. She traveled on her own to find them, and learned to fend for herself, and had incredible scavenging abilities. She was found by Team Destiny, and was given a temporary home until she located her parents. Then one day she learned that her parents were killed as prey for a Zoroark, leaving her without a family and without a home to return to. Avett then offered her permanent residence at the team's home, which she graciously agreed to. She lived relatively quietly, leaving to live temporarily with Beck and Misha until she got stronger. She returned as a Typhlosion, and began to help the team, and entered a relationship with Remi. She had a hearing aid, and learned how to speak via telepathy. Though her return to the team was short lived, as she was killed accidentally by Zane while they were having an intense hallucination brought on by the Necrozma living in the Marowak's body. Her body was buried next to Miles and Angel.

NAME: Dizzy (VA: Kayleigh McKee - Testament) TITLE: “Legendary Tomboy Boxer” AGE: 25 SPECIES: Lopunny HEIGHT: 7'0" GENDER: Trans (Female to Male) BIRTHDAY: 10/21 SEXUALITY: Gay FIGHT STYLE: Lui He Ba Fa WEAPON: None ABILITY: Cute Charm STATUS: Deceased (Cause of Death - soul rendered beyond saving due to LaPlante; Age 26 at time of death)

The last citizen of Plácido, an island that was off of the coast of Flora. The island had a strict rule enforced - any females born into a family are to be excommunicated or slaughtered. When Dizzy was first hatched, and their parents found out that their baby was a girl, they were distraught. Unwilling to let their first born go so easily, they raised Dizzy as a boy, and hid their true identity from the island. Some knew, and would either bully them or hit on them to make them upset. To defend themselves, and to prove their worth as a man, Dizzy learned the Lui He Ba Fa martial art, and has powerful punches as a result. Now that their home is gone, Dizzy vows to find the Pokemon responsible and make them pay. They will become defensive if a man tries to hit on them and misgenders them, usually resulting in a swift punch.

NAME: Nobuo (VA: Steve Blum - TOM) TITLE: “The Ninja with Two Types” SPECIES: Greninja HEIGHT: 5'6" GENDER: Male BIRTHDAY: 03/21 SEXUALITY: Gay FIGHT STYLE: Ninjitsu WEAPON: Water-based Kunai and Shuriken ABILITY: Protean STATUS: Deceased (Cause of Death - Soul rendered beyond saving due to LaPlante; Merged with Kiske, age 22 at time of death)

The younger of two children born from a Greninja and Cinderace. His parents died in Lotus Tower when he was young, and he and his sibling were taken in by Ben, who trained them. Nobuo is fiercely loyal, and would do whatever it takes to protect those he cares about. Because of his heritage, he is able to use both Water and Fire type attacks. Though his appearance shows one who is gruff and stoic, he is very caring and will not stop until the job is done.
