Character Details

The Legends Arceus man himself. But now he is a silly fox with problems of his own to sort out. After failing to defeat a child and meet Arceus on his own, he was punished and sent to the country of Platyna, and found by Silver, and taken to Shoa Lu to join the Oneiroi guild. After a rather rough beginning and evident species growing pains, he managed to learn how to use his body aptly... enough. There are still a lot of things he needs to sort out. Like his vision problem. He'll often receive visions of moments to come or possible moments to come that he probably ought to change before it happens. In general, Volo, forced to forget his previous life, must learn to be better and to train to prevent an incoming catastrophe.

RP Information

Tends to have a bit of a superiority complex. Hard to get along with at times. Stuck up in his "Superior humanistic ways" he looks down on Pokémon beneath him at times. Yet in recent times, he's gone rather soft due to concurring events. Despite this, he's rather awkward at times, and can show emotion and be kind to others, it is just... difficult to get that out of him.

Skills and Abilities

In his fic, Volo's entire gimmick is focused around "balance". Having to keep both fire and ice in check, using both in balanced tandem. While, this isn't the case in CAD, it will be a small adjustment for Volo overall.

User can place a size 2 Aura down that is hidden from enemies. At the end of the enemies' next phase, this Aura will strike all enemies inside for the offense value and modifier value attached to the Aura upon casting. This Aura does not consume the user's Aura slot. When casting, denote these values but do not factor any AoE reductions. The GM will need to do this calculation themselves due to the variability of enemies in range.
