Character Details

A survivor and veteran of the 'Dodra Catastrophe,' Rita is Dodra's original Reshiram, someone who was trying to save her planet against the Heirophant from the beginning. She was, like many, forced to constantly reset her life whenever Dodra's planet began a new cycle. Each time she was someone different. By the time the Phantasms woke up, she was Servine Rita, working under Overseer Obsur Zygarde who had previously infiltrated Dodra and was caught in its deadly web. She retained her fire abilities and her truth sense, and had no memories of her true identity. She struggled with finding her sense of self worth and a place where she could belong, eventually reawakening her memories as Reshiram Vasi, thanks to the help of the players. She often joined them on their adventures and misadventures in an effort to help save her own world, and along the way she found a family worth fighting for, and entered a relationship with Dialugia "Owen" Prime once everything was over. With the worlds being restored, she remained in Dodra to help look after it, and eventually took to rewriting the events in a collection of light novels. Just in case she or any of her dear friends ever forgot their time together.

RP Information

Rita is a bookworm. She's read just about every light novel that Dodra had to offer, and is well-versed in all their tropes and plots and cliches. She is eager to digest more, and will geek out over them with anyone she feels she can open up to. After Dodra, Rita hadn't had much of a chance to make new friends, so she might be awkward here and there. While she is sometimes too serious, Rita always has the Cadets best interests in mind, and hates seeing the inexperienced ones struggle and suffer. She constantly draws from her own experiences, and uses them to try and relate to the others.

Skills and Abilities

Rita has an innate Truth sense as Reshiram. If you wish to scene with her, keep in mind that she can detect lies! Maybe it'll make for a fun scene, eh? ;)

Pory-Psi Companion

Growlithe Ben was once a Xerneas in his oldest life. He was tethered to his Tree of Life, unable to leave its side while he tended to each and every spirit in the world while his counterpart, Natos Typhlosion (Soniclink's Dodra character) soared the skies. They were forever jealous of each other until Dodra ate their world, using their insecurities as a backdoor to claim their spirits. Xerneas became Ben, someone with memories that weren't his own like many of the victims of Dodra. He struggled with his sense of self and learned to embrace all sides of himself. Even with the same name and face, he is nothing like his memory namesake anymore. He met Rita working at Sol City's Guild, and she became a chaperone to the PCs in Dodra. Ben became one of her closest friends, and he turned her down when she had a crush on him so he could be with someone else. Eventually, she moved on to Owen/Prime, and she continued being best friends with Ben.
