As a general rule, Stefan's friends tend to be those who would prove useful to him. Colleagues are the norm (read: Lux fellows), and very rarely are friendships formed based on whim. In fact, most of his friends had their origins as his comrade-in-arms. This isn't to say that allegiance to Nox is a deal breaker, but he would prefer that he isn't obligated to kill his friends upon the discovery of their allegiance. Close friendships are rather rare, and can be dropped whenever Stefan deems it as a liability. Civilian friendships are uncommon, as his preferences lie in those who are able to fend for themselves. enemies. Stefan does peg those of the Nox allegiance his enemies, but he doesn't take them very personally. Making personal enemies would be self-destructive. He allows himself to be other people's enemies, however. After all, utterly destroying an opponent is his job, isn't it? Still, there is a breaking point in his pride that may mark a person his enemy for as long as it takes for Stefan to pay them back. Stefan is more lenient towards rivals, if only because those are constructive and a little harder to find. loves. Long-term wise, I've got this part covered |D But I don't mind one-sided affections or short-term arrangements. Stefan is generally uninterested almost to the point of asexuality, so good luck. Understanding how he functions is a bit of a prerequisite, which can be quite a difficult hurdle to jump over, depending on where you stand. With love, he can be stubborn as hell, so be prepared to fight for any kind of personal affection. others. Suggest here |D [/style]

oh hey there. my name is thalia. i'm one of your bosses. lux champion of johto, going to be transferred to sinnoh within the next five minutes at some point. she's really not happy about it, but since sinnoh is going to be more of a warfront than johto was, she'll be looking to consolidate "her people" and gather support around her, and stefan seems like a good fit. i don't know what rank you had in mind for him (soldier or officer?) but she cares less about that and more about how devoted to the cause/loyal/good in battle people are. i see he's based in saffron right now, would he be open to a move?

i also crept and saw that you still need a partner for mission 46, so that could be how they meet/why he decides to go with her if you go for this plot thread

if nothing about that piques your interest, just let me know and i'll try and think of something else! welcome to the site, btw. i'm tsundere in the cbox. well, right now i'm "number one emolga stan" in the cbox, but w/e.

Stefan is a sentinel right now with proficient battle and infiltration skills, as well as decent skills in management, so I can see it working out. Honestly, one of the main reasons why he's in Saffron right now is because it's a Lux stronghold that can call on him more convieniently when he is needed, so a move wouldn't be too unreasonable if it's under a champion's orders.

I asked Lucius to partner with me on 46 |D Not 100% if Luci is still up for it, though. You're more than welcome if it turns out that he isn't.[/style]

Thalia can tag along too. iirc more than two can go on a mission.

...Could also finally be an excuse to get Thalia and Merope in the same thread.


ANYWAY HI I PLAY MEROPE AND MICHAEL and those are really the characters of mine that you're gonna see the most of. Actually, probably Courtney or Byron should something go down and Nox be there.

Actually I'll just put a few of my characters and you can uh, do whatever with the ones that stick out.

REGARDLESS, Michael is a fellow Sentinel, and Xander's personal bodyguard, and he takes his work very seriously and comes across as either humorless or depressed (his app lies, he's currently on an emotional downward spiral of misery and bitterness). If the two were to meet, it would probably be when Dex makes us fancy sentinel missions. Or just hanging around base. Feel free to know Mikey already, as the Sents would know each other.

MEROPE you're gonna meet in Mission 46; she's Cherrygrove's administration as well as a known socialite and busybody. Don't really expect her to be outwardly rude or aggressive, 'cause that's not her style; Merope is incredibly polite, so if she ends up hating Stefan for some reason, she won't express it. Potentially a good person to know; Merope has connections in both the main and the outer regions and usually keeps up to date with current events, as well as knowing important people. Potentially a bad person to know as well, considering that some of her connections are less than savory and she is the sort of woman to burn down Cherrygrove if it'll benefit her in some way.

PROTON is here because he's a wanted criminal; he's assaulted four Champions and an officer. Surprised no one has gone after him yet. He'll kill your Pokemon if you ever need them dead for whatever reason.

Should you ever have the misfortune of working with Champion Ardos in Hoenn (he needs the help like something awful), COURTNEY will be one of your concerns. She's essentially a Nox Sentinel, and works closely with the Hoenn Nox leaders. I know an old Sentinel mission was hunting down Hoenn Leader Alyssa Akiyama, so there's a possibility.

AISLING is a reporter-turned-soldier. I guess if you want an interview, go for it?

Byron (current account) is a notorious Nox Speaker in Sinnoh. I guess if you ever want a Nox to thread with that isn't going to kill your character on sight, Byron is your man.


...i have too many characters.

Like he just knows about what Micheal does for a living and a few of his ‘mons. Stefan’s pretty distant to most colleagues, and status doesn’t always win attention from him, unless they have the authority to command him. Fancy sentinel missions would be a yes He’s not the kind to turn down jobs, regardless of who his partner is (I can see him getting a little :I at how hasty Micheal seems to be sometimes lol).[/style]

I think our chars will get along pretty swimmingly since Stefan can respect distance (as long as he can expect it back).

He would definitely try to stop her if she did get the notion of burning down Cherrygrove, though lol[/style]

That’s just not how he operates. Stefan’s had most of his Pokemon since they were hatchlings, so if I do have to have Proton kill them off for whatever reason, expect a feud that lasts for as long as Stefan can make Proton psychologically suffer[/style]

I’m considering sticking Stefan under Sinnoh!Thalia’s wing, so I’m not sure if they’d ever run into each other, but yay for occupational enemies! We can cross more of that bridge when we get there.

I don’t think Stefan will be too hostile towards Byron upon first meeting. Besides the fact that Byron is not a psychopath, Stefan would see him as the kind of man who is easy to manipulate if it ever came down to it. As long as Byron comes quietly when Stefan hauls him off to a nice Lux cell (and no, that’s not short for ‘luxury’, mister hobo man), there should be little trouble. But of course, not even his friendly demeanor will help much if he chooses to resist.

[fatedagain]

As a head's up, I might say the wrong thing so do correct me when I am clearly misinformed on certain subjects.

First of all, Odyssia as Odyssia Setsuko is the prodigious doctor of the renowned Setsuko family. Not every lay person knows them but people like Stefan and his kind in Lux's hierarchy should. She doesn't have hospitals on her own; her siblings do but she has a private clinic in Kanto which is almost the size of one. It's a research center as well and she conducts experiments there. Nothing shady, really. No secret human experiments whatsoever.

But her customers aren't just anyone. They're the wealthy and the elite. She is most trusted when it comes to confidentiality because her services can be bought. Her expertise is unquestioned. She would divulge information when asked such as the most lethal poisons. Since she's an irreplaceable benefactor, it's pointless to tell her out in the authorities. And I'm sure her customers wouldn't want to lose her either.

Stefan must know that much about her. It's not really a HUGE major deal. She's running her business, that's all. It seems to me Stefan won't really try to sue her for that. It's probably not worth it either way. Considering how much power and money the Setsuko has, challenging her would be challenging the whole kingdom.

It's possible that the two have met...it would be nice if they did but I'm not sure when to squeeze Odyssia in Stefan's life. Your call. If they did, she must have tried stealing a kiss from him. She's pretty fickle.

As for the whole Nox Collector, Cinnabar Island thing, she's shrouded in mystery. Her existence is only by assumption but she has appeared before: as a brutal interrogator in full-body armor. The connection between the armored guy and the City Admin is hard to connect without evidence. Odyssia goes on the field to corner people, question them and kill them. Only rumors came out of this and whether she was a man or a woman or if she were Lux, Nox or something else was unknown. She hadn't been much of a big threat compared to others. She had mostly drifted around as rumors.

I think it's just known that Cinnabar has some sort of leader. Name and appearance is unknown. No one's really stepping up in Cinnabar and making a speech. Everyone's doing their own business.

So I don't think Stefan would know exactly what his enemy was or if he had one. Odyssia is just one of the spies. Her existence hadn't been that much of a threat. But she'll make herself known soon, most probably in the Seafoam Island battle. We'll see. She'll step out someday as a leader.

But about that causing a rift I mentioned in the cbox. How much information could Odyssia know of Stefan are you comfortable with? I think she should know a handful about Stefan considering his hstory. She even knows that much of Balendin. Since the Sentinels have always been in Lux, I think they're Nox's first enemies. Odyssia doesn't conduct the spying herself. There are a lot of others so her knowledge is from a collective of sources. I didn't know what Stefan is doing (or what they are exactly; care to explain to me?) that Balendin doesn't like but whatever it is, Odyssia would use it to peg Balendin with doubt. Since we're in a battle and Odyssia is very chatty...this will be pretty crucial. She would want to torture Balendin with words.

[STYLE=font-family: georgia; font-size: 25px; letter-spacing: -2px; color: #b4cdcd; border-bottom: 5px solid #b4cdcd;]stefan and odyssia

Hiya!

8E let's do this

but YESSS about time that rich/influential kanto folks are made.i was wondering where they are. but yeahno, steffy isn't really interested in pursuing dr. setsuko. he's interested in preserving existing power structures as much as possible, unless blaine or baledin sets a price on her head, i guess. so if he does pursue her, it probably wouldn't be anything personal at all.

the only thing that pops into my mind for fitting in the past is that...uh. stefan was actually an underage soldier for a few years in the newly-formed lux military. probably like five years ago or so. Okay, more like a league-affiliated team of trainers that acted as more like a militia or whatever lux's military looked like back in the earliest days, anyway. Maybe she was his field doctor once or something. He would have been the stubborn one who probably didn't take too well to things like "lie down before your wounds get infected". if you want to do something with that

anyways, he's always been the guy who goes after collectors and lux traitors, and now he's also the head of intelligence, so i think he would definitely know a thing or two about cinnabar being a need-to-watch place. especially when he's got the guys at fuchsia working overtime. maybe h'e'll have his suspicions about the armored collector and cinnabar? i mean, spies don't need their targets to stand up and give a speech. odyssia might not be a prime suspect, but she's definitely not off the list. no one really is |D except for his superiors and a handful of co-workers.

as for odyssia's knowledge bank, i'm going to say that she probably doesn't have much. only the cult members know that he's from goldenrod, as well as those who rank above the champion. he's cut his ties from that place for a while, so i doubt there's much evidence to salvage. stefan was also a lux devil under the ex-president xander, which only increased the need to cover his tracks. at that point, only xander, blaine, kasper (close friend to xander), and erik would have known his real name before championhood. the others would have known him as the devil 'sloth'. even then, his public appearances were practically nonexistent and his contact with others infrequent. so uh. unless someone hacked into blaine's computers or something, i doubt that odyssia would know much.

[preston]

Preston is an Admiral in the Lux Navy based in Kanto (which would make him your subordinate). If you're looking for someone to boss around perhaps we could have some sort of official meeting somewhere to discuss a potential Nox threat to the seas around Lux ports (which could be seen as exacerbated by the Seafoam Islands battle).
