Iggy

The Drachaverse	The Feralverse	The Medieverse	The Pokeverse	The Tribalverse

Iggy (aka Ignatius, or Sagefox) is the self-appointed guardian of the Sanctuary, a small, secluded grotto where ancient Pokemon slumber and abandoned or hurt Pokemon gather for healing and a safe refuge. Ignatius has a rocky past which he hopes to atone for one day through his tending to ailing Pokemon. He carries a calm demeanor which masks a passionate spirit. The Delphox cares deeply for others and personally sees to all who stumble upon the Sanctuary looking for help.

His relationship with the Witchfox goes back to their youth as Braixen, and she holds a severe grudge for the horrible events which led him to a life of asceticism and self-contemplation. His forgiving attitude runs as deeply as her hatred.

Story

First Clash with Malgam

Iggy was one day approached by the Noivern, Raphael, who was injured from an ice attack. He led him and others of the Sanctuary to a group of Pokémon who have walked into their territory, the Eevee having eaten one of their members (a Dratini). Once the Eevee and his group were awake, Iggy approached, trying to placate them by welcoming them to the haven. Iggy used the move Sing, putting them all back to sleep. The Eevee and his followers were subsequently jailed.

Iggy would ask that Fleur, a protégé, create tasks for the captives, and he took Malgam’s necklace as well, realizing they provided great power to the Eevee.

Getting to Know the Newcomers

The Delphox tasked Fleur the next morning to bring Autumn, a Braixen who was brought in with Malgam, over to him in his temple. She brought Malgam instead, who insisted on coming with them since Autumn was his cohort. Malgam proceeded to give Iggy a story about his time with the humans and the torture he went through, in an over-exaggerated manner of course. Iggy was particularly interested in Autumn, though she stayed mostly quiet about her past and her purpose for being with the Eevee.

Iggy went ahead and introduced himself to the two, though Malgam curtly demanded his necklace back, challenging Iggy’s place in the haven as their leader. Iggy reminded Malgam of how he had eaten the Dratini, who was a member of Sanctuary, and asked that he gain Malgam’s trust before he hands the necklace back. Malgam tried to convince him that he would be far more valuable with the necklace, but Iggy remained steadfast. He reminded them of their tasks as their captives and dismissed them.

The Baneful Howling

After some weeks, Fleur would come to Iggy one night about how Pokémon from the Sanctuary have gone missing following nightly howling that occurred recently. Malgam and Autumn overheard this conversation and offered their help, the Eevee stating that the howling was possibly from one of his team members. As Fleur, Malgam, and Autumn got prepared, Iggy went to attend to the haven’s foragers to let them know what was going on.

Later that night, the trio would return with Plume and Bernard, injured. They report to Iggy what had happened, as well as the new presence of a Lucario that attacked them along with Bernard, who had taken up the form of a Midnight Lycanroc. Iggy realizes that the Lucario was after him and that she was an assassin sent by Ingrid. The ramifications of this are enough for Iggy to want to speak of it another time, but Malgam hotly suggests that he share with them what he's reserved about since they risked their lives. Iggy retorts saying that none of this would have happened if Malgam did not start it with his own actions. Fleur, disapproving of Iggy's response, asks Autumn and Malgam to go get rest while the Lopunny suggests they talk in his temple.

When they return to Iggy's abode, they discuss the Lucario and what her presence means for the future. An assassin sent by the Witch means that she is devising new ways to attack him and threaten his haven. Fleur did not previously know of the Witch, and Iggy's revealing her prompts her to suggest they retaliate against her, but this angers Iggy, and he even points his wand at her, ordering her to put aside such an idea.

The next morning, Iggy approaches Bernard, who was put into a metal cage and is now a Midday Lycanroc. Plume observes him from outside. He tries to explain his predicament to them, the strange crystal on his back influencing his changing into a Midnight Lycanroc under moonlight. He cannot remember anything that happened while in this form, and suspects the transformation might have to do with his brother, who he claims speaks to him at night within his head. Iggy allows Bernard to come out, but instructs him to return to his cage at sunset. Bernard agrees and expresses joy being reunited with Plume once again.

Iggy goes to inform everyone of Hildegard, telling them to look out for her but not to approach and attack her, as she is too skilled and dangerous to take on.

Personality

As an old Delphox, Ignatius became very wise and maintained his kind demeanor. There are not very many things that will disturb him or break his patience, but anything to do with the Witch will sway his countenance. He enjoys company, though he also enjoys being alone when he wishes to meditate. He thinks highly of wholesome values, asking others to always do good and keep a sound and open mind.

Forte/Skills

Ignatius has a plethora of psychic skills under his furry sleeve. He can emanate these psychic energies without his stick (which is quite difficult), but they are naturally enhanced when he uses the stick. One of his favorite moves is Dream Eater, which proves to be very useful for him, as it heals him and gives him great insight into another's aura and memories. He uses a light version of his move to prevent harm to others and uses it for therapeutic purposes for troubled pokemon in his haven.

Also being a fire type, Ignatius is able to easily shape his flames in conjunction with his psychic power. He can also use telekinesis to lift objects and imbue them with flames if he pleases.

Being of older age, Ignatius has a lot of wisdom and experience. His efforts in helping many different pokemon has given him great knowledge in a large group of species and how to treat them. His therapy skills are of a very high level, the delphox being able to help with all sorts of mental troubles.

While the old Delphox can devour others, even with his older joints, he avoids it whenever possible, seeing it as a last resort for those who try to destroy his dream of a safe haven for others.
