The laboratory used to be a terrifying place, rumors passed in whispers about the torture that happened behind the closed doors. With peculiar interest he managed to find its way there, where he found the purpose he spent his life searching for. Ace's the front side of the coin, trapped in a precise balancing act between what his boss wants, and what his boss needs. And he couldn't be happier.

Here's the pride flag version I promised in the czech post tags!

A friend had some mental blockades in terms of making his own sona, he tried once and didn't come out how he wanted it / how others have been doing their own somehow this activated my neurons enough to draw these =]

Shakujo sure seems to have interesting sleeping habits. It's astonishing his spine still functions properly.

- I can't believe he's comfortable. - Shoulda seen him yesterday.

Unfrozen, reintegrating. Ancestral trauma dug deep, yet there is always warmth awaiting at the Dawn's Boundary.

"My name is Wu, sir. How may I help you tonight?"

Wu's been a character I was working on for last, oh, year. More than that, actually. A Kyurem that abandoned the icy visage, that tries to be proper. The dragon. Past cannot be abandoned or ignored, yet perhaps the future can still hold some pride.

I have three kyurem characters, and they're all dealing with ancestral trauma of the original Kyurem [who split apart, and was the cause of a major civil war] in their own ways. Wicked gave in fully to it, being miserable in a cave. Raic, who was around here before, tries to ignore it and find his own meaning in life, separate to the trauma. And finally Wu, who has truly made peace with his past, and found pride in who he has always been.

I really like Wu as a character. He's wise, he's helpful, he truly desires someone to be there for him. If he can be around people, he prospers and overcomes his issues; leave him alone for too long and he's visibly withering away. And so, he found a job in a very people-focused place, he has his own bar so he's forced to interact with strangers day by day. He's forced to thaw the chains of misery.

He's not really doing this on his own, either. He had someone, a particularly powerful creature who made a pokemon-friendly city, kick his ass out of solitude twice. Maybe I'll get more into detail on the city, and its unusual owner... but not in this post.

His bar is an unusual place. It opens only at night, and biggest part of it is a giant basking spot with caves. Wu intends the place to be for those pokemon who need a bit of warmth to get through cold nights. Constantly high temperature of the place caused him to lose his own ice [but only temporarily! Wu does refreeze if it gets too cold!] but he's more than okay with that. He needs not to be punished further.

So there's that. Wu. The iceless Kyurem. And straight up one of my favourite OCs I have ever made. He's a joyful fella.

Here at the end of this ramble I would like to thank, like, ALL of my friends I have been bothering over last few weeks asking for opinions, corrections, or just being a sneaky gremlin not saying what I was actually planning. You're all fantastic, and you all helped me get through doing this. Love y'all.

I have FINALLY codified my pokesona.

It was a good day =]

a lone adventurer, treasure hunter with good luck, unaffiliated with anyone but willing to give a helping hand

I hope the notes are clear, but if not, I use alt text extensively =]
