LAST STOP: HISUI

❝ do your best and run toward the destination— an even higher state!

△ Subway Master Pearl Clan Warden 

△ It's not always about the missing memories, Lady Irida. It's about the Mets baby love the Mets alright baby let's go get a home run baby love the Mets let's go Mets.

△ Train Guy! Does he even remember what a train is? Nope! But he can absolutely tell you the difference between a R142A and a R179.

△ He’s in his 20s~30s but looks like he’s in his 40s. That’s what being thrown into a different world with no memories will do to a guy! ( also just guys from BW who have a black-white color motif? hey grimsley. )

△ Subway Conductor from 2010s New York finds himself in Edo Era Hokkaido. More at 11. 

I didn’t pre-plot anything with anyone, so if you’d like to plot anything - feel free to DM me and we can get something going!

DURING SUBVERSION

Train conductor for some of the lines spreading across Spirale! ...or at least, he was. 

Ingo was in an accident where he suffered a severe blow to the head, which wound up giving him severe amnesia. He didn’t forget everything, but a decent chunk of his early-life memories were gone.

What was supposed to be a temporary break from acting as a conductor turned more permanent as he began going through therapy to try and help recover some of his missing memories.

...thankfully, he has friends and family in Spirale that made recovery a lot easier! Sure is nice to be around familiar faces and people in a situation like this.

IN BETWEEN 

Ingo started spending more time outside and away from work, picking up new hobbies like journaling and photography to help keep track of anything he remembered, and anything he wanted to remember in the future in the case of him forgetting something again - which is a lingering fear he has.

Through this, he grew to have more of an interest in history and related subjects, as well as just a newfound general appreciation for nature and outdoor related hobbies.

Officially retired from his position as a conductor, but still rides the trains a lot and has a very deep appreciation for them. Also a lot of trivia facts!

TEN YEARS LATER 

Now works at Spirale University as a Cultural Anthropology professor. There’s a lot of comfort he finds in remembering the peoples and cultures of the past, and passing on that wisdom. 

He’s not in a relationship, but he does have a grey and black cat named Lady that he takes care of...though she really helps take care of him, too. She wears a purple collar with a little yellow tag.

Doesn’t have a lot of his memories back, but he’s learned to be okay with that. He’s happy to make new ones with the people he cares about.

Still super into photography and journaling. 

You can find him taking walks around Cotes a lot, or just hanging out in the library!

THE HERMIT

“If I’m not mistaken, you are one of the two Subway Bosses of Unova, are you not?” Cynthia knew well enough that she wasn’t mistaken, but something about his appearance concerned her. She was well traveled enough to at least know of the most prominent trainers in each reason, and through Caitlyn she was more than familiar with Unova’s top examples.

“That beard looks quite, erm… dashing! Have you been working on it long…?” Not just the beard. Everything about him seemed far more disheveled than she was expecting. She was still piecing two and two together in this city.

@chikabori​​

“I’ve...been working on it for as long as I can recall. With some necessary maintenance, here and there.”

Ingo could tell that that...probably wasn’t quite a compliment, but paid it no mind as he pondered over what the woman that approached him had first said. Subway Boss. That was the second time someone had referred to him with that title here, and it still didn’t ring any bells.

senses prompts ( not accepting )

mind : does your muse act after their rationality or emotions? why?

Surprisingly...emotions! For the most part, anyways. A lot of things that drive him are just "what feels right" - like working together with Pokémon, and what vague recollections he has from his missing memories. His desire to help and protect both people and Pokémon has definitely placed him in some dangerous situations...but he does still try to act within a realm of rationality.

Think, at least a little, before you act.

nose : what does your muse smell like? do they have a signature scent, something that others associate them with?

In the words of another; he would smell like pennies. But genuinely he probably just smells like...exactly what you'd expect from a guy who lives in the mountains and takes care of an elongated cat creature. Pre-Legends, though? Probably just a nice brand of cologne.

mouth : does your muse have a preference over sweet or savory treats?

senses prompts ( not accepting )

sight : how is your muse’s sleeping schedule? do they have a regular sleeping pattern, or if not, do they even want to have one? does your muse sleep easily, or prefer to be awake for as long as they possibly can?

As someone who enjoys working on a schedule - punctuality is key! - it's only natural that Ingo tries to keep a proper sleep schedule as well. Though...sleep doesn't come as easily as he'd like it to, if he had to be perfectly honest with himself.

Routine is important to him, and it always feels like he's missing a part of it. He's not sure what - but it's enough for it to make falling asleep right away difficult. He's worked on changing his schedule up both since he first arrived in Hisui, and since he became Sneasler's Warden. Keeping a schedule like that when...well, he can't currently do his work had made it difficult to sleep in the Spirale as well.
