A rare and elusive Zoroark, Ahriman made a name for himself as a criminal lord. He's currently off the radar for now, and no one knows what he's up to.
Ahriman is a bipedal fox-like Pokémon, mainly grayish-brown in coloration with red and black accents. He has characteristically pointed snout and ears, the insides of which have red coloration. Like most Zoroark, he also has some red rimming his eyes and mouth. He has a large, voluminous mane as well, primarily red in coloration but with black tips. This mane also somewhat resembles a ponytail, as a teal bangle down its length separates a mass of the mane from the lower portion. Ahriman has black ruffs on his upper body, pointed at the shoulders from which his arms extend. The upper arms are thin, whereas the lower arms, while still slim, are bulkier. The arms have spiky extensions of fur at the elbows, and Ahriman's three claws, as well as the claws on his feet, are red in coloration.
Unusual for most Zoroark, Ahriman breaks six feet in height, and is very large. Ahriman is also, like most Zoroark, capable of changing his physical appearance. These illusions are capable of deluding many people simultaneously. However, unlike Transforming, this change doesn't affect his type or attacks. He can make illusions of attacks, and these illusions are extremely realistic, to the point even cameras are fooled and one may believe they're being physically restrained. He rarely has to go to this length however.
Despite appearing like most other Zoroark, he has a sharp contrast in personality. Whereas most Zoroark are very protective of their pack and loved ones, Ahriman is a solo loner, and a very cruel personality. He delights in more evil acts, and will do whatever is necessary to get what he wants.
Ahriman lacks equipment being a Pokemon...he does have access to moves and an ability however, and these are shown below. As new ones are used, they will be listed, and their effects detailed.
Ability: Illusion
Creating illusions is something every Zorua and Zoroark can do. Ahriman can transform into just about anything, making it appears as if he is that thing. Furthermore, he can make moves that look realistically like others, even if he doesn't know them. Unlike the Move Transform, he retains typing and abilities.

Ahriman's Moves
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Move: Night Daze
Ahriman's eyes glow light blue as he surrounds his body in a crimson aura. After charging it for a period of time that he determines, he then slams his arms on the ground to generate a pink and crimson glowing forcefield of energy emanating from his position. The more he charges, the more powerful the attack becomes. The burst of a black light that accompanies the crimson forcefield can blind and disorient nearby targets for a short time.
Move: Flamethrower
Ahriman creates a small orb of flame in his palm and takes a deep breath. He then exhales, blowing a stream of fire from the orb that can last as long as he has breath. The flame torches whatever it touches. He can alternatively cloak his hand in the flame and punch something instead, or eat the flame and bite with burning fangs.
Move: Focus Blast
Ahriman puts his hands together to create a light blue ball of energy that he can then throw at an opponent. Has a variable trajectory.
Move: U-turn
Ahriman charges forwards with an attack, scores the hit, then turns and flees, taking whatever he managed to steal while attacking with him.
Move: Imprison
Ahriman uses a strange energy to trap his target into immobilization, and disable the use of any of their moves that he can also use. While immobilized, targets cannot do anything.
Move: Torment
Ahriman torments his foe, forcing them into not being able to use the move they last used.
Move: Foul Play
Ahriman attacks his opponent with their own attacks and power.
Move: Punishment
Ahriman brutally traps and beats his target into submission, dealing more damage the more powerful they are.
Move: Pursuit
Ahriman chases his target doggedly in the shadows, staying out of sight, but right next to them practically.
Move: Nasty Plot
Ahriman's mind starts working, and he comes up with all manner of vile tricks, his attacks also gaining power.
Move: Grass Knot
Ahriman creates a snare of grass in the ground that trips his target, allowing him to close distance with them quickly. It deals more damage to heavier targets.
Move: Low Sweep
Ahriman sweeps his target to knock them onto the floor.
Move: Thief
Ahriman steals something while quickly and lightly attacking the target.
Move: Shadow Ball
Ahriman generates an immense ball of shadow, launching it at the foe.
Move: Hone Claws
Ahriman sharpens and readies his claws, making them all the more dangerous.
Ahh, finally, I have succeeded. Smaller prey could only satisfy so much.
he stated.Cawler? Not at all. That wimp just lost an operation. I don't associate with his types. Instead, I follow my own wants.
As for this being a game, it is a game of sorts to me...one I almost always win...and almost always get the prize I seek.
Ahh, so you were the one who perform the sloppy job. It's everywhere, and all I hear. Perhaps you've got what was coming to you.
Claiming my prize for winning the game.
Don't worry, they'll understand. They'll simply remove you from your position, perhaps even charge you, and there will be no evidence to say otherwise.
he stated most sinisterly.Let's see what you Humans are like.
Ahh, Orion. You are always the thorn. I was this close to accomplishing a most new and difficult goal. It was the prime time too. Unarmed and no one around.
Sadly, you won't interfere anymore.
I won't stand down, but I really think you should give it a break. See, too often are we bound to Humans. So, with all we do for them, what is the harm in making them give back?
We have needs too, Orion.
I wouldn't go anywhere little lady. I will find you after this, and I WILL finish. Besides, it's a cold evening...and you haven't any clothes. You're asking for a neat debilitating bout of illness.
But those ways aren't quite as fun.
So it was, but I cannot let you stop me, especially when I still have time to finish.
Seriously, try all you want, you cannot stop me now. I'll be going with her now, try and find me again if you can.
he stated into her mind as he slowly stepped back away from the Breloom towards the brush.I wouldn't try anything little lady.
Orion, I dare you to try and find me. I'll hide my tracks.
Heh, good luck.
he stated in Telepathy to her.That Breloom won't catch us here...now...before we were so rudely iterrupted...
he stated, using the threat of clawing her to force her into the position he wanted.Now, on your hands and knees, just like an Absol...
