Vermillion

The Drachaverse	The Feralverse	The Medieverse	The Pokeverse	The Tribalverse

Vermillion poses as Xerxes’ lover and often sticks to his side like glue. While the male Zoroark does not like to admit that she is his companion, Vermillion is not shy about letting everyone know, priding herself in being his sidekick while he carries out his endeavors. She is a fun-loving spirit who might be a little too wild for Xerxes, but he still keeps her around, finding uses for her every now and then. She has grown up in the wilderness, barely interacting with more advanced Pokémon civilizations let alone humans.

Story

Present Day

Whatever Xerxes does, one could count on Vermillion being close by. She does almost everything he asks except for taking a bath. She continues to work on her own skills with Xerxes’ training, and she enjoys cleaning up after ‘messes’ that he leaves behind in the form of bounties and quarries, oftentimes swallowing them whole and digesting them while they are incapacitated. While Xerxes is more wary of his waistline, Vermillion has a greater capacity and pays little mind to the gains she receives, sometimes flaunting them to her lover.

Personality

Vermillion loves to go on adventures, hating being bored for long (she gets bored very quickly). She looks for the nearest thing that she thinks will provide her some entertainment and makes the most of every situation, squeezing every bit out of it until she loses interest and moves on. Xerxes himself would say that she is hyperactive, only staying still in the rare case that she has to rest after vigorous activity.

Vigor is certainly something Vermillion carries a lot of, and her spunk is sometimes charming to Xerxes, even if the latter demands respect from her (which is hard to acquire). While she likes to pick at her mane and fur for hours to clean them, Vermillion greatly dislikes water and the prospect of dousing herself, even if it’s for bathing.

Forte/Skills

Vermillion has a unique variation in the Illusion ability that Zoroarks are known for—she can take on the appearance of those she stores in her belly, though the image is never perfect, some of her features painted on them. The only way she can accomplish a true illusion is by digesting her victims. Additionally with the spitting image she can utilize, Vermillion can even imitate their voices! Unfortunately, she cannot keep the illusion forever, the image of each victim fading away in time (normally a day or so).

While she loves to fool others with all manners of trickery, she’s not afraid to get her claws dirty, using melee tactics she learned from Xerxes as well as dark type attacks such as Dark Pulse or Shadow Claw. She has a varied toolkit of physical and special attacks, but she prefers physical. Vermillion loves to get up close and personal to her opponents, their own auras inspiring her to fight on and expend all the energy she has stored from those she has previously absorbed.
