Character Details

Originally an Alolan Raichu, Naoki traveled around his world taking in the sights and cultures. He made his living through odd jobs and takes up work from an odd sandslash by the name of Ritsuki who always seems to be in the right place at the right time. Naoki tends to keep the flat part of his tail in a cloth sheath/scabbard, always saying it's for comfort as he likes to sit on it. His world is going through a bit of a steam revolution leading to quite a bit of upheaval here and there. He's heard legends and myths of humans and became curious enough to explore the world. He came to the academy to see what he can do in the grand scale of things. He believes himself to be a sinner, but for what? He's fine with keeping secrets, both his own and others. He feels as if he isn't one to judge others.

RP Information

Easygoing and understanding, Naoki isn't one to judge others for what they do in their time. He tends to be rather loose with his curses, not caring much for formality unless needed. He tends to look for the bigger picture and not immediately judge a person's actions, he tries to look into why things are happening. He's a little annoyed at being a Pichu, namely since he has a smaller tail. He'll be chill with most people. Asking him about his life will have him give details here or there, but you need to be close to him to open up. If you want to talk about old scrolls or myths, he'll speak about it.

Skills and Abilities

Naoki tends to use his tail to channel his electric attacks through, slinging bolts at foes. He has gotten good at reading old scrolls, be it about myths, legends, or ancient medicine. For some reason, he seems skilled in ways of courtship and ways of formal dress and clothing.

Pory-Psi Companion

Sandshrew Ritsuki is based off of Naoki's close friend and sometimes employer of odd jobs, Sandslash Ritsuki. Bit of a salesmon, he's also patent with others and willing to lend a paw to listen. He's prone to carrying things around, be it food, items, or miscellaneous goods. He tends to refer to people with dear, miss, or ma'am to be respectful. Ritsuki has now evolved into a sandslash, and his mannerisms remain the same.
