PSYCH PROFILE:
LIKES:
- [ HUMAN CUISINE ] Sure, they are hairless apes but they sure can cook. Erebus is a sucker for that.
- [ SCENTS ] His enhanced sense of smell allows him to savor and enjoy his surrounding so he is often seen sniffling around.
- [ RESPITE ] Sometimes Erebus feels the need to rest and he enjoys those periods of time. He loves sleeping, laying down and being generally useless all day.
- [ NIGHTTIME ] Erebus is mostly nocturnal. He enjoys walking around during the night where he doesn't have to worry about most dangers of the day if he isn't hunting.
- [ ELECTRICITY ] Being able to naturally harvest electrical charges and heal from them, Erebus is very fond of things like batteries and power plants, much to disapproval of those owning them.
DISLIKES:
- [ HUMANS ] They think they are better than him don't they? Big words coming from tool users.
- [ SURPRISE BATHS ] Have you ever seen a Jolteon wet? Their fur just hangs from their bodies like badly glued rags. No one gets to see that.
- [ LIMES ] Citrus fruit in general are something to be avoided, but limes take the prize when it comes to hate.
- [ TOUCHING] Erebus HATES being touched with out permission, escpecially being petted like an animal unless it's someone he's fond of. He dislikes having his paws touched a lot.
- [ HUNGER ] Starvation isn't fun for anyone, especially a malnourished Jolteon.
SKILLS:
- [ TRACKER ] As a canine, Erebus can track scents with relative ease be it food or a person. Scents can be masked by stronger scents such as perfume however.
- [ PATHFINDER ] Erebus is a wanderer. His constant habit of moving from location to location has enabled him to know most of Remoor and it's secret paths.
- [ ZAP ] Erebus as a Jolteon can utilize electricity in a number of ways be it offensively or defensively. His fur is his main means of protection as it can become bristly and rough.
- [ BOTANIST ] Erebus knows his way around a few herbs found in the wild. He isn't skill enough to rival modern medicine, but he could buy himself some time.
- [ SCAVENGER ] Erebus has been living through scraps for a while now. He knows where to search for food and has developed a mild resistance for the odd things he consumes.
FLAWS:
- [ SOLITUDE ] Erebus is a loner by nature. That has left him with few allies to call out to and will generally try to avoid groups or crowded areas.
- [ ANGER ] Erebus has a large, unjustified ego that is more delicate than fine China. If angered he holds grudges for unreasonable amounts of time, often harmful to him.
- [ INSTINCT DRIVEN ] Erebus listens to his instinct more than his logic. Sometimes he will let potentially beneficial opportunities pass him due to this.
- [ SIZE ] Erebus is smaller than the average Jolteon which is already relatively small. His weight doesn't help either.
- [ CHOCOLATE] Chocolate is harmful to Erebus, like any canine, yet he bluntly refuses to stop eating it. Natural selection at its finest.
- [ COLOURBLINDNESS ] Erebus is colourblind to certain colours. He suffers from deuteranopia (red-green color blindness)and therefor perceives red, yellow and green as one hue. Blue and purple are perceived as a second hue. Cyan and magenta are perceived as a neutral hue (grey).
PERSONALITY: Erebus has been a cruel and sadistic personality since his early years. This fact was not helped in the slightest as the events of his past twisted his natural self-serving and vindictive personality for the worst. He harbors no guilt for horrible things he does, and often enjoys watching friends fight each other, especially when the quarrel is orchestrated by him. Despite holding no qualms for killing without hesitation, the Jolteon savors the experience of toying with his victims, tormenting them viciously before killing them. He delights in the pain of others, often mocking with his frozen grin. He takes create pleasure in creating needless conflict between Pokemon and or humans for the sole purpose of his own enjoyment.
Erebus is known to manipulate others, slowly gaining their trust so he can make use of these persons as tools to use and dispose of later. He always tries to plan ahead in case things turn for the worst. All of this, however, is overshadowed by his cockiness and foul temper. He can easily be set off, most often by damaging his large and delicate ego, which in turn causes him to make mistakes.
Erebus knows a good ally when he works with one, and he values them greatly. However, this does not mean he would spare them his wrath should they choose to stand in his way.
PHYSICAL PROFILE:
APPEARANCE: Erebus is a Jolteon which is a dog-like Pokémon with a very short tail, surrounded by a fringe of spikes on its rear, and yellow fur that has the sharpness of needles. He A white, spiky, collar like ring of dense fur covers his neck. His nose is black while his paw pads are pink with sharp, jet black claws coming from his paws. His eyes are purple coloured like any Jolteons. Erebus's more notable traits are his torn left ear and multiple burn marks on his hind legs. His fur covers the burns marks so it's impossible to see them unless you search for them, move his fur away. They can be noticeable from up close. Erebus has black coloured fur around his eyes. An odd fur pattern for his species. Also his right frontal fang is protruding from his mouth slightly due to a jaw deformity. Finally, he is a bit malnourished, but nothing too extreme. Still, it gives him a somewhat sickly and thin appearance when coupled with his slightly shorter than average build.

FACECLAIM: Erebus - Pokemon, Giygaswar
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND:
HISTORY: Erebus was born into the world without a family to look after him. He never really knew why. He was simply alone when he hatched from his egg. As a young Eevee, he was forced to fend for himself. Being born alone and having lived alone, he was none too friendly, only forming relationships with a select few that approached him to extend the hand of friendship. Even so, being an orphan was not something easy to overcome. He had the help of his few friends, and they managed to steal food from various campers that would take root at the edge of the forest. When times were more desperate, Erebus would approach the camp directly, limping on one paw, ears twitching back pathetically as he would move towards the humans. Often, they would give him some small scraps, chief beneficiaries being the female children who found him adorable and harmless. Erebus would always feel soiled, disgusted with himself for taking such measures.
One day, Erebus was sneaking through the pack of a traveler who was resting close by, searching for food. This was when he saw it, an odd yellow stone that seemed to glow softly with him near it. As a young Eevee, it was only a matter of seconds before curiosity overtook him. With a soft twitch, he would lean forward, brushing his nose over the stone in an attempt to smell it. The moment his flesh would touch the stone, he would be wrapped in an odd feeling, body starting to glow brightly just as the stone had moments before. In fear of himself as well as waking the traveler, he managed to slink away. Unknown to the new Jolteon, this evolution was just the start of mishaps that would unfold.
The next few days began as normal, nothing seemed out of place apart from a few odd looks from other Pokemon. He went about his affairs, as did the rest of the world. About a week since his encounter with the Thunderstone, a poacher spotted him. Normally, a poacher would be willing to overlook an Eevee in the wild, especially one as thin and scrawny as Erebus, but a Jolteon was another case altogether. Thunderstones were rare, and as such were expensive. A wild Jolteon would bring easy profit, no matter what condition it was in, so long as it was not about to fall over dead. Erebus managed to defeat this poacher’s Pokemon and flee, but this encounter would mark the end of Erebus’ “easy” life. News would travel, and more poachers would come, each desperate to take the prize as his or her own. This sadly drew the attention of other resident Pokemon that would start to shun Erebus as the harbinger who brought this upon them as many others got captured.
Despite his best efforts, it was becoming more difficult to stay hidden, the Jolteon constantly tired from the endless battles. It was only a matter of time before he snapped, and unfortunately, the time would come quickly. A young poacher ambushed the Jolteon while he was sleeping. This poacher was new to his job, and all he had to fight with was a single Pidgey. Erebus smirked, defeating the avian without any effort at all, and soon was left with the poacher. The Jolteon glared, before deciding to send a message to those who had been hunting him so relentlessly. Without warning, he sprang on the young man, pinning him down. He would stare at the poacher for several moments before smirking, leaning down, ears perking at the young man’s cries as he slowly dug his teeth into the man’s neck, and tore his throat out. The Jolteon left him there, drowning in his own blood as he laughed quietly, prowling back into his forest leaving nothing but a corpse and a dwindling blood trail behind. When the others found the body, panic arose among the humans.
As one could imagine, this was not met too well. His own kind, his own proverbial neighbors turned their back on the Jolteon, alienating him from his own “community”. The backlash of his actions began making Erebus feel cornered, pushed against a wall, surrounded by those who hated him.
Well then… Brand me a murderer? Turn me into a scapegoat, the one who ruined us all? Very well then, I will give you true cause for hatred.
When the moon claimed her place in the sky, the stars gathering about her in praise, Erebus would wait. The moon continued her voyage across the sea of ink and the Jolteon would listen. All was quiet. Even the nocturnal clans were finding a place to rest. The time was then. It was a simple plan with simple means. It took only a few sparks of electricity to light the fallen leafs of the forest, and the fire tore across the ground, consuming the downed foliage in search for more fuel. The Jolteon failed to grasp the flaw of his plan until it was too late, the flames circling around him as the pyre grew. He a wicked grin stretched across his lips as he watched, not yet realizing the truth. He was trapped.
His heart pounded in his chest, the fire moving closer. Erebus realized that if he wanted to live, he would need to flee. And flee he did, prancing through the wood as fast as his legs could carry him until something fell down upon him with a sickening THUD, trapping his hind legs under a heavy tree. Despite the earth-shattering agony, he managed to pull his legs free and crawl away from the flames. The Jolteon collapsed on the ground, pain wrenching through his wounds and into his heart as he watched his home consumed by fire, the red wraith of flames turning all he knew into ash. Words echoing in his mind. I did this... I did this...
It wasn't until the next day that Erebus was able to finally stand up, he still felt pain with every little step, but it was a start at the very least. It didn't look like many of the resident Pokemon had survived the fire, and those who did where in just as bad shape as he was. Erebus was unsure if they knew that he was responsible for this chaos, so he decided to leave the ghost of a forest once and for all. Erebus is currently traveling to find a new home, although he never seems to enjoy being in one place for too long. During his travels, he discovered that hurting others felt good. Seeing other lives in more agony than his own made him feel better, somehow. That let him to fight almost everyone that crossed his path, collecting scars anf fueling his odd, newly found obsession.
Erebus's life seemed to be reaching a stale period in just a few years after the incident, his bloodlust still remaining but somewhat sated. The burn marks all over his body now covered by a thick layer of static charged fur concealed his rigid appearance to others, yet with each step he took, though used to the jolts of pain, it served to remind of that dreaded day.
TRIVIA:
- Erebus still sometimes feels pain from his wounds, specifically the burns he received. Due to that he sometimes cringes without apparent reason and sits by folding one of his legs to the side rather to relieve pressure on those areas.
- Erebus dislikes it when people stare at his torn ear.He sometimes keeps it down to draw attention away from it.
- Erebus adores hot springs, but he doesn't openly admit that oddly enough. The hot water helps him negate the pain of his burns, allowing him to enjoy life without pain briefly.
- Erebus's claws are a bit larger than a regular Jolteon's so he often keeps them sheathed.
- Erebus has an irrational fear about being burned alive since the fire. He's careful around fire, but he still finds himself thrilled when watching it from afar.
- Erebus can and will often store things in the scurf of his neck.
- Erebus is capable of growing a winter coat during the winter to help him fend off the cold. His fur simply gets longer and more dense.
- Erebus often licks his nose. He can't stand it being dry as not only does it limit his sense of smell, it also causes him great discomfort.
OPINIONS:
PRAVUS: Erebus is indifferent towards Pravus. He views Pravus as a bunch of greedy individuals trying to run the world. While he doesn't directly oppose them he wouldn't mind them being out of the picture.
ANTI-PRAVUS: Erebus is indifferent towards the anit-Pravus movement. Sure, they may be trying to prevent Pravus from running everything, but he is convinced they only do that so they could have a shot at running the world them selves.
POKEMON: Erebus is quite fond of other Pokemon. He believes that they should stick together, or at least says that to any he meets until he feels they aren't useful anymore.
POKEMORPHS: Erebus has mixed feelings about them. At first he hated them due to being mixed with humans, but slowly he warmed up to them upon realizing that they were perhaps closer to his species. He still holds a strong grudge against those that own their own Pokemon however.
