"I intend to live, not just exist"

okay so the premise ! it's uh, literally just sk8 the infinity plus pokemon. i'm not changing a lot here. my DR self is the same as my other DR (info dump here), my scripted bfs are the same (koji + kaoru), it's still skateboarding and whatnot.

the only difference from my main DR, besides the added pokemon, is that i scripted out adam ! did not wanna deal with that man here lmao. i did not script out tadashi, but i didn't script his pokemon team, since idk if i'd ever see him so idrc (not that i plan to see kiriko either but she deserves more recognition, i love her).

another small difference about the pokemon ! if y'all have ever played the fan made game called "pokefarm" you know they have two other special colors for each pokemon, just like shiny pokemon. on the website they're called albino and melanistic, but in my DRs i rennamed it to radiant and selene cuz that sounds better to me. i also made it so that these variants are a lot more common in this DR, cuz i want a team full of them and wanted to give everyone else a lot too.

Kassius (me)- shiny phantump (partner), selene dhelmise, selene eevee (vaporeon), shiny ponyta, shiny shuppet, shiny lampent, poochyena | i also scripted to have, not on my main team, a shiny hisuian zorua, radiant scorbunny, oshawott, cubone, and dwebble

I also have mega stones for the vaporeon, rapidash, banette, chandelure, and mightyena (for once they all evolve ofc)

okay to preface ! this DR is barely scripted, just my appearance, vaguely my crew, and vaguely my devil fruit. so most of my yapping will be DR memories i've gotten or guesses for how things will be. also for some context, my DR is realistic looking and everyone looks like their live action counterparts. i don't know what all the live action will change if anything, but story and lore wise this DR is like the anime.

firstly ! my devil fruit ! it is a paramecia type fruit that allows me to control elements with my voice/music. i'm not sure how it specifically works, but i think i can also simply whistle or smth and also control things ? i dunno. but i do know that it's limited to existing elements. aka i can't create anything, i can just control the water, earth, air, etc. around me.

now for my crew ! so i'm actually the captain of my ship, and we are known as the symphony pirates or the symphony squadron, but we are technically under the red hair pirates. so i do consider shanks my captain, and call his crew my crew, but at the same time we're still separate ? i don't know. it makes sense in my head lol. basically we're on the same crew, but different ships, so we aren't together 24/7 unfortunately.

okay now the rest of the info (besides my DR self picrew i'll share at the end) is unscripted, just DR memories that i've gotten.

EPISODE 316 SPOILER- when i was younger, i was on gol d. roger's pirate crew alongside shanks and buggy !! which is so super exciting and also a little sad (cuz well. yknow. he's gone now). i believe that's how i met them, and ofc know for sure that's how i came to be part of shanks' crew eventually, but i am very curious to find out how all that went down.

buggy is my bestest friend in the world <3 i love him so much and we have stayed close friends through everything. even with his current problems with shanks (they get along again eventually).

i have very strong beef with yasopp. he's genuinely the only person on shanks' crew that i just can't stand. i try not to start shit with him, for shanks, but that just means me avoiding talking to him/being around him when i can. i do however have one memory of me absolutely tearing into him (it was some argument related to usopp i'm pretty sure), so uh. fun /sarc

anyways ! to end on a good note. my scripted (future) bfs here are shanks and mihawk hehe. i'm shifting to around the same time luffy gets his devil fruit though (aka when luffy was 7 yrs old), so idk how long that slow burn will be lmao, we'll see. i did however get a memory recently of mihawk calling me "flower" ehehe. which is so cute and makes sense cuz i associate this DR self with flowers/plants. also from DR memories i found out that my main nickname for mihawk is just "hawks" and my main nickname for shanks is "pretty boy" or sometimes just "pretty" (yes even pre-dating). pet name wise, i have a feeling i just use my go-tos most of the time (my love, baby, darling)
