Appearance:


Roland is a Luxray-Absol hybrid with a mix of characteristics from both. He typically is a quadrupedal pokemon but depending on continuity may also bipedal form. His general physique is compact with lean muscle but stout, especially around the hip regions. A majority of his body is covered with soft grey fur that extends into a luxray like mane at the back of his head, and adds additional fluff around the neck, chest, and hip regions. A layer of blue fur is present at the round luxray ears, a majority of muzzle, the back of the forelegs, and the calves downward on the hind legs. There are two yellow ring bands on the both of the hindlegs and on the back of the foreleg consistent with the yellow fur of the inner ear. The paws have black claws extending out of the three toes, similarly there are smaller ‘claws’ on the back of the legs at the elbow joints and the hock of the hind legs respectively. His tail is relatively slender but ends in a dark-blue sickle like protrusion. A similar dark-blue and sickle like protrusion grows out of the right side of his head, and a dark-blue oval is at the center of his head.

Roland’s face tends to occasionally drift into a distant and somber look when at rest or alone. One simply needs to get his attention to change it to a delighted grin. His eyes are wide and always looking about, especially at new persons. The sclera is a bright red, while the iris itself is a bright yellow.

Roland doesn’t often wear much, given their pokemon nature. He carries around a side-bag with a musical note printed on it . He can be occasionally caught wearing a pair of single lens goggles, the outside of the goggles simply a grey color while the lens is tinted purple and even an addition of a scarf depending on the weather.

Background:
Roland grew up with two loving parents. The three of them worked together as a trio of nomadic singers and warned others of upcoming danger. They and a group of travelers were separated in the Timeless Woods, whilst escaping the unnatural horror called the ‘Great Cataclysm’. His mom already had a bad feeling about the woods & Roland’s special visions couldn’t predict anything after entering the place. The Timeless Woods was sadly the only option to escape impending doom. Roland was the only one to walk back out of the woods, as all others who entered simply vanished. He walked out of there by himself with only songs and trinkets to remember the other travelers by. They never wanted to lose someone or something again.

Roland sung and wandered the hillside for weeks letting out every tune he could remember. A mawile named Leyan noticed the wandering singer to be part of a traveling duet. Roland soon found out traveling on the road, that the Leyan was using the duet as a cover as a spy. Leyan had been an agent of Barricading Elusive Intelligence (BEI) and using the cover to gather info and capture or dispose of certain targets in the audience or near them. Roland took direct initiative in aiding Leyan on missions using their own special talents, and even became delighted to capture targets through unorthodox means. He didn’t want to lose Leyan and quickly worked their way into working for BEI as well.

Missions for BEI became increasingly dangerous, often from the areas that the duet was sent too. The mission distributor, a Xatu named Theta became increasingly worried over the duet’s protection. Theta, not only made sure to train Roland’s psychic ability further but assigned an additional member to the duet to act as the muscle. Paz, the Breeloom was assigned as the muscle and bass player among the band to back up the other two when things got too tough. Paz, was especially helpful when dealing with enemy agents and the occasional rival Eiah. Eiah, always tries to throw a wrench into things wherever they go, causing chaos for their own amusement. Once a crazed experiment of a modified Lioone, turned into a playful yet often destructive rival if not ally wanders free to cause occasional trouble for the group.

Personality:
Roland is a loveable fluff ball quite often. He simply loves to be affectionate to those around him and to comfort them. Whether it be simply letting them pet away at his soft fur, or cuddling close to him. He does not let the opportunity to be affectionate to others and receiving it go unnoticed. If a person seems troubled or sad, Roland will gladly simply lie across their lap to comfort them. He deeply cares for those around him, and wants to spend as much time as possible with them. It isn’t hard to gather Roland’s affections, simply be around them and seek it out.

His affectionate nature is still distant from downright playful and boisterous. He will not actively pounce on a new subject to smother them, nor force a subject who clearly is against it. The occasional person whom he already knows or that desperately seems to need the attention may be the exceptions. Instead he will choose to be careful and gentle. It could be an act of simply walking up to a subject and smiling, or brushing against them in order to comfort. He makes sure to control his actions and his mannerisms the best he can to avoid hurting people and to get his way.

Under the affection and care for others is a desire turned sinister. Roland makes sure to avoid letting the darker sides of him be revealed except around deeply trusted friends. He is a bit of a knack for hiding secrets and himself physically. Roland some secrets locked up and away from others finding out simply for the thought that they are his to hold onto. He may even do his best to avoid or undermine a subject completely, especially when related to his vices. Roland may aim to keep those around him close, but may avoid letting them find out everything about him. When they do, it will be too late to let go of them.

He desires the company of certain subjects, the indulgence in food and material wealth to unhealthy degrees. He occasionally stockpiles them to himself, to not let others know of it until it is too late. He can occasionally make the subjects of his desire disappear rather quickly when the time is right. Certain subjects can become too desirable to avoid, even if it means going through dangerous or unorthodox routes to achieve their capture.

Skills/Traits:
Roland has a knack for performing a mix between dancing and singing. In terms of singing he is a smooth counter-tenor with an easy voice that will help carry someone’s mind along and even put them at peace. A lot of his songs call back from lullabies, blues or even rock to carry an audience’s mind away and into the tune. In terms of dancing he is fair, can pull off simpler moves, slides and twists enough to go along with many manners of songs. It can definitely help burn off additional calories. The dancing is not enough to impress alone but with the addition of a tune, he is able to carry or soothe a crowd.

In terms of spy work he’s rather quickly to see or hear something that is out of place or that needs to be investigated. His stealth is more than capable of catching a target or more off guard, through an alleyway, a roof above, or especially in the shadows. He isn’t particularly good at the guesswork nor lying on his own to convince a paranoid subject.

Likes*: Singing, music, lullabies, sweet drinks, dancing, eating
Dislikes*: swamps, beaches, screeching, being alone for extended periods of time

Special Abilities:
Far-sight:
Roland’s far-sight is a special ability they had from birth that was honed through years of practice. His far-sight allows him clairvoyance into another subject’s future up to ten days but it requires that he sees said subject first. The ability allows him to view misfortunes and dangers along with the context connected to the observed subject, with a 90% accuracy. He is capable of viewing parts of a figure’s future outside of misfortunes but it takes migraine inducing strain and often ends in failure. The accuracy of the predictions also changes if information on said predictions or to directly oppose them is acted upon. It takes less time for far-sight to work if the subject has sapience, and longer if the creature is only sentient or less.

Super Luck:
Roland himself seems to posses a sort of super luck, though it particularly just affects himself personally. He finds it easier to get desired things headed his way, whether it be an relevant tool for the situation or simply a meal dropped in his lap. The ‘luck’ as he occasionally calls it help to find critical weak points in enemies as well. It seems to increase in small bursts with helping others avoid their own misfortunes. It is a mixture of Roland’s own psychic energy and an old blessing from traveler’s bound directly to Roland’s soul, and solely assisting Roland.

Pokemon Moves:
o Roland uses a dark look upon their face that creates a ranged bond between the target and them. The use of this technique prevents the target from moving more than 15 feet away from Roland at any give point for the next 70 minutes. The move ends if either Roland or the target themselves falls unconscious. This move draws a good deal of focus and can only be used a handful of times per rest before it becomes useless. The move uses the ‘normal’ element.

o Summoning the electrical power in his body to completely shroud himself in it and tackling toward the nearest target. The move is physically draining though it gives a boost in speed for the time it is maintained. The move can be used give or taken a dozen times per rest when Roland is at his strongest but can lead to over exhaustion. The move uses the ‘electric’ element.

o Roland can also summon upon the psychic energy in him to form into flying blades to slice at a target. The damage that the blades are capable of increases over the repeated usage of them in a small-time frame. These blades can be used a moderate amount per rest. The move uses the ‘psychic’ element.

o Lastly is Roland using his own singing as a deadly weapon that he is immune to. It takes a moment of focus but Roland can weave death & despair purely into his singing. The deadly singing can be focused on a singular listening target if the lyrics are changed to revolved around the targets upcoming misfortunes. If the song doesn’t focus on a singular target, it effects any of those who can hear the singing whilst it is actively taking place. Roland can perform the move a handful of times per rest. It uses the normal ‘element.’

Resistances & Immunities:
Roland has a natural resistance to moves and effects that revolve around the following elements: Flying, ghost, steel, electric and dark.
Roland is completely immune to psychic based attacks and effects unless he willingly chooses to take the outcome of those effects.

Weaknesses*:
Roland is particularly weak to moves and effects that use a fairy, bug, ground or fighting type element that do twice as much as the average damage upon him.
