ghetsis harmonia, tenth heir of house harmonia, god of the gateway of truth and ideals, keeper of the dragon force, king of kings. by percival (he/him, 30+).
psa! this blog is highly selective and private. headcanon based and canon divergent lmao. formerly idanikou.
with heavy influence from the works of j.r.r tolkien, suzume (2022), mythic archives of dantalian, various mythologies and whatever else i have compiled (a lot)
a study and criticism of religion, perceived truth and unrealistic ideals, loneliness, the horror and beauty of the divine, the inherent evil behind all things good,
public vs private info β± ic wiki (wip) β± worldbuilding lore blog is under construction! β± meta analysis on this blogΒ β±
due to the fact that i am OLD, this blog is 18+. please do not follow me if you are under 18!
on this note, this blog will feature dark and triggering themes. i will make sure to tag these things with the format of #trigger so that they can be filtered out! please tag #trypophobia for me!
ππ°π¨. this blog will not be open for shipping. i have a long standing worldbuilding where ghetsis is in fact married and he hasn't bonded with anyone else in that way ever since so uhhh.
i am very open to other sorts of bonds, though!
i should also note that i will accept mains and exclusives!
ππ‘π«ππ. i am known for writing metas across the blogs i have. in the wise words of a friend:
with this in mind, the metas i write are portrayal specific to this blog, so please give them a read! i know i can be rather wordy- anyone who has followed me elsewhere may know this, but for my first time followers, worldbuilding is one of my favorite things to do. i am particularly fond of analysis of character psychology.
ππ’π―π. to the point above, i do have other blogs! i am in and out of other fandoms, but i am trying to focus on a smaller group of things for my own sanity.
and by this, i mean i work 32-40 hours as a registered nurse in an inpatient psychiatric unit. i am busy, i am tired, and i can't keep letting my focus go all over the place. inevitably, it still may do that because i have a tendency to be scattered, so if i don't get to something immediately, it isn't you, it's me!
also related to that, i do love communication! i struggle with reading the room (it's the Autism tm) and so if something's up or if you're bothered, please be direct with me! i will not take offense, i quite appreciate feedback so that i can be better as a person! in return, i will communicate back! i am learning to curate my space (after 10+ years of being on tumblr).
π¬π’π±. there are people i won't interact with due to various reasons- my dni list is on the carrd of my other blogs. i won't interact with genderbent versions of characters, people who are Real Life Individuals (not counting fictional depictions like in the typemoon franchise or whatnot because those really have nothing to do with the actual individual they're supposedly based on?).
please stay far away from me if you fall under the following categories (i'm censoring things because god knows tumblr just picks shit up idk): proshipping, writing inc*st, p*dophilia, r*pe/n*ncon, are transphobic/homophobic- the usual gross behavior! use your moral compass!
on top of that, i am a firm believer that we learn from the media around us. full censorship is just as dangerous as the aforementioned things- the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows! please refer to this post which essentially summarizes the gist of what i'm trying to explain.
π¬ππ―ππ§. anyway, hello, i'm percival / percy, i am 30+ and use he/him pronouns exclusively! i am a hobby artist (it's my side-gig from nursing) and sometimes i post my art, tagged #whats my art tag considering i constantly forget my art tag if it's fancy. please do not repost my art without my permission.
mutuals, feel free to ask me for my discord, since i am much easier to reach there!

uhhhh a quick little things about ghetsis visiting other regions- he is always accompanied by 1. hydreigon 2. the kingsguard.
hydreigon, because that is his bestie they've been partners for a long time. the kingsguard, because ghetsis functions like a deity- as guardian of the dragonforce, he follows divine laws and divine law says "the god cannot travel outside its domain without the guidance of a human" and 'domain' for ghetsis is unova.
things he built to help with travel: the frigates. multiples, they are the warships of unova and of course they're crewed by HUMANS. he also has traveled out of unova with the company of the sages, who may possess divine blessings, but are human at their cores.
tldr ghetsis has to have a travel buddy and he's not terribly thrilled for it....
anyway ghetsis harmonia is a fuckign king with no fear. yeah those are the greaves. yeah he probably has at least some armor on under that dress. because he will be ready to fight you at any time.

β a healthy diet and rigorous training with many weapons. β and the fact that the entire bloodline was divinity- more of a curse than a blessing, but what could he say of that? nothing that would be particularly useful. β hydreigon is playful with those he trusts most. we have wrestled many a time. β
Anyone else would be running in the opposite direction -- downright cowering. The very mention alone of his name would strike fear in so many people. He was a universal icon of fear among many who have gotten on his bad side. A man who was more god and to be avoided.
β my dear yris, β there's something musical in his tone- named for music, a servant of the gods with divinity of his own. the harmonia family had more than earned their name and their place in the hall of origin and in the deep roots of the dragonforce. of course, it was this power that also bound them to the rules of the gods. unable to travel without humans in any place that was not their domain, and kalos was not his.
not too far away, the kingsguard waited for him.
β you have been busy here. quelling the rage of the old gods and restoring balance to the leylines. even in the citadel, i heard the oracion. β
for those of you who know lord of the rings, unova is also like GONDOR, where itβs ok to compare adaliz ( az ) to isildurβ¦ or his brother anarion. actually definitely anarion.
the main castle is basically MINAS TIRITH, itβs huge, shiny, & can also serve as a stronghold.
[ minas tirith ] was divided into seven one-hundred-foot high levels, each surrounded by white walls, except the first walls which had the same kind of black stone as orthanc as a face. the gates connecting the levels did not lay behind one another in a line, but faced in different directions. a spur of rock, whose summit was level with the cityβs uppermost tier, jutted out from the front of the city in an easterly direction, dividing all but the first level into two. [β¦] each level was scattered with many alleys, narrow passageways, & full-fledged houses ( which were probably quite rare in the city). On the sixth level were located the Houses of Healing, surrounded by pleasant gardens. Finally, within the seventh wall, was the citadel of minas tirith, with the white tower of ecthelion - three hundred feet high, so that its apex was one thousand feet above the plain, the fountain, the leafless white tree, & merethrond, [β¦] upon the saddle between the city & mindolluin were the houses of the dead - a tomb for the kings of gondor & their stewards.
if the plasma templar are equivalent to the knights of dol amroth, or at least the higher up grunts & the grand knight generals ( the unseen admins ) are like the guards of the citadel, then honestly this makes a ton of sense. like minas tirith, unova has its own equivalent to osgiliath, the kingdom of the vale. this is where king romaya ruled & where he raised his twin sons, tevrien ( the first harmonia hero of ideals ) & his younger brother idraeil ( the only harmonia hero of truth, unless we go with hero of truth n ).
the decline of [ osgiliath ] was greatly accelerated by the GREAT PLAGUE [β¦] many of its people died from the disease, while others fled to remote parts of the country, few of whom returned. severely depopulated, osgiliath began to fall into ruin. in 1640, tarondor, whose predecessor telemnar had died from the plague, moved the capital permanently to minas anor. telemnar might as well be the equivalent to mirinel harmonia, except itβs his uncle who dies. after sauron was defeated & the fourth age began, aragorn II elessar, the new king of gondor, may have rebuilt the city, but he kept minas tirith as his capital. pretend aragorn II is n & sauron is ghetsis w/e.
anyway uh idk if this is terribly comprehensive but the tldr is unova is like gondor, the main castle is like minas tirith, the dead land where the kingdom of the vale was is osgiliath.
did some doodles at the beginning of my work shift because i need more icons for this blog. the top one is the energy of "i think we're going to have to kill this guy" meme and the bottom one is just serotonin for me in particular

ok so a note on ghetsis and how he views perfection- as in he doesn't see it like humans see it. essentially, yes, he thinks he's perfect in the sense of "i am made for a purpose and all paths lead to that purpose", rather than "i'm better than everyone else". gods don't see things like that, because they exist with function- even moreso, the harmonia bloodline exists for a very SPECIFIC REASON (embodying and protecting the dragonforce) so he never worried about what his function is. so essentially he is "already perfect" for the function he has.
he thinks the human version of perfection is "boring" and "an inability to grow." it is a limit, and as a god he is limitless.
The only reason he's kept his weak and corrupted arm was because the decision to remove it was not an easy one to make. Technological limitations were not his only reason for keeping the semi-functional limb. Its presence challenged his view of perfection. Was it better to have something damaged, but authentic or repaired, but artificial? In the end, he decided that conservation was necessary to preserve a masterpiece and so he would replace his arm when the means became available to him.
"I would be whole again," he answered; a surprising lack of venom in his voice. "I would be cured of this infection and so I could once again hone myself to perfection without its hindrance."
The truth was, even if he removed the physical damage, he could not disentangle his DNA from Zekrom's. Even if he could, that may mean losing the great strength he gained from the dragon's influence. He looked at his strong hand before clenching his fist.
"There have been benefits along with the detriments, but I don't need them. If anything, they have become a crutch. I would succeed by the power of my perfection alone."
β ... How interesting. β There's a hint of amusement in his tone. This reflection of himself prided himself on his supposed humanity. In its on way, the king found it an admirable trait. Mortals were fragile, but throughout all hardships, they endured. It was not only the dragonforce that kept the planet in balance. Mortals contributed to that, too.
β Mortals seek this concept of perfection, but the gods do not. As the divine, we exist with purpose and live until that purpose is served. Any change that happens is simply meant to be, and it does not detract from what we are. This is a part of you, now. β Often, he wondered what kept mortals from thinking the same way. Were they not meant to follow a path as well?
β Can you not think of it as a source of growth? Ah, but you are quite stubborn. It is something we have in common. I doubt there is anything I could say to change your mind on this topic. β It comes out lighthearted, amused- because this Ghetsis had a role to play, and when it was done, so would be his purpose. In time, the end result would be a collapse of self. He would not have to waste time disposing of this man.
β Do as you will, then. I am curious to see how far you will make it. You have chosen quite the difficult path. β
so i did make a basic dnd sheet for ghetsis, it will be refined as time goes on because i just started with the paladin and i'm going from there lmao, but it works for now.
Among the gods, he is young and certainly he is still learning. The planet provides knowledge and memories, but they are scattered. This time, they're painful. He knows much of the tales of the land of Hisui, because the planet bore deep scars still. Volo played quite a role where those scars were laid.
These texts are from a time before then. Written in his ancestor's hand in the language of the dead- it has been quite some time since Giratina has visited the temples. That history, too, is laced with pain.
Mirinel's sorrow was deep, and his relic lay lost in the ruins of Dragonspiral Citadel. Mirinel had sealed a doorway to the land of the dead to protect it. Mirinel had been close with Giratina. Volo was close with Giratina.
Volo was here. The planet still aches. Giratina hasn't visited the temple in thousands of years. Giratina had loved Mirinel, and Mirinel had paid the ultimate price, as all Harmonias would.
He would not come back (certainly Mirinel, perhaps Giratina). Volo would.
The tome closes with a soft snap. Ghetsis can't figure out much of the texts while the planet cries. Volo is visiting. There will be time for grief and memories and tales of the elder gods later. He turns to face Volo with a soft smile.
β I had not known that you would visit today. Shall I prepare some Valean tea? β
ββ¦ yeah.β They look down at their feet. The iron bundle peeks from behind ree at the king, but doesnβt move forward β rather, it sticks to reeβs side, either protectedβ¦ or /protecting./ βIt was easy. He β gave up without much fight.β A pause. βIt wasnβt supposed to be like that. Right?β β± @skullkxd
β Gave up? β The surprise is evident, because it's the last thing Ghetsis expected to hear. There's something terribly wrong with the situation, and the only comfort he finds is that Ree is also aware that there was something awry. β I share little with that mortal aside from a name, but I once thought that pride was another common trait. Had I been in such a position, I would ensure that my opponent felt the will of the planet. Those who face me do not make the same mistake twice. β
While the words are far from kind, there is no intent to harm laced within them. Ree is young and went to battle with noble intent in their heart. Ghetsis would not fault them for that. The Iron Bundle is ... difficult to read. It comes from a place that the planet has yet to experience- it makes its heart sing in a language that even the gods have yet to learn. If nothing else, it's evident Iron Bundle cares for Ree.
Iron Bundle does not want to leave Ree's side.
β I would not say it was a case of giving up, but ... it was not done without reason. I have little desire to understand how that man thinks, as he has proven to be single minded and foolish- but that does not mean that he cannot be a threat. I am certain there is more to this than it seems. β
A pause. Hydreigon comes to sit at the king's side and watches closely.

@ghetsis β± β Do you actually think before you speak? What are you going to do, find some way to have your divinity rescinded so you can start over? Many mortals would kill for the power of a god, yet here you are wasting it. β
"I'll excise this blight like the cancer it is! The only good that's come of this 'blessing' is that it's now easier than ever to crush the throats of obnoxious fools. And it's not the half that was mauled by that reptile which holds that power. I am wasting nothing. If jealous mortals wish to experience the pain I endure, I will happily give them a taste."
β You have made this pain. It is a choice whether to accept divinity or to reject it. I sense that you are far too set in your ways to understand that. β They're both stubborn in their own ways, but for every similarity, a thousand differences arise. One had been born mortal, the other had always existed in the realm of the divine. Was that the deciding factor?
β Zekrom is not known to be a god to inflict blight. Zekrom is a god who exposes the ideals buried in the hearts of mortals. Still, the mortal mind is quite powerful, and I suppose it is that very thing that has twisted this gift into the curse you see it as. β
This, he knows, is a losing battle. He won't get through to this cursed reflection, and there is a sense of pity that settles in him. β Say that you did cut this essence from yourself- what would be left of you, then? β
The Dragonforce allows him to sense far more than most mortals- this time is no different. Perhaps it is that Ree's aura is familiar enough, or perhaps Hydreigon had seen the youth as well- After all, the great Valean dragon was said to be an extension of the King's will.
β Very little escapes me, Ree, β comes the king's voice- a melodic sound (a hymn of the divine) meant to soothe mortal souls / soothe the pain of the planet. β I assume you have a reason to travel to find me. The earth speaks to me, it tells me that you were able to find your friend. β
β For that, I am glad. But ... I sense your experience in that battle was not what you expected. Will you tell me of it? I find there is something to be gained from listening not only to the planet, but to the words of mortals. β
