Ahriman (Zoroark)

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.

Description

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.

Personality

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.

Equipment

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.

Ahriman (Zoroark)'s Story

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:03:30, as written by BBClock
The Dark Figure threw aside the cloak it was using, the cloak landing on the floor as it stopped and stood over her. It was a Pokemon it seemed. That immediately meant that, even in self-defense, it couldn't be shot unless there is reasonable claim and proof that it was intending to cause irreversible harm.

The smile it had was one of those ones that struck fear into someone, and it's eyes focused solely on hers. It was fast, strong, and had the upper-hand.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:09:19, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark as it was called took a couple more steps towards her before speaking. It spoke through telepathy, likely because it's kind could as evidenced in the movie. However what it said would be understood as English.

Ahh, finally, I have succeeded. Smaller prey could only satisfy so much.


The voice was male, and had that sinister tone in it, definitely implying some Nasty Plots indeed.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:15:09, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark was not the one from Crown City. Oh no. This one wasn't Female. It also seemed a lot more sinister than the Crown City one.

It answered in telepathy.
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.
he stated.

He stepped closer before he seemed to look her over, a claw testing the wind breaker, to see how easily it'd rip.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:19:09, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark answered that claim.
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.


He ignored the gun entirely as he took another step towards her, his claw once more extending to test the wind breaker. He was so close, in his mind, he could almost see it even.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:25:42, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark would move to stand over her.
Claiming my prize for winning the game.


He had to aversion to it. The smaller and easier creatures simply were not a challenge, so there was no thrill in rewards obtained. Humans were another story, as they often had several bosses to fight through, like a good video game, to reach the end.

With that all said and done, he'd attempt to tackle her down again, placing himself over her as his claws seemed sharpen exponentially, tearing more at her wind breaker.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:32:49, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark seemed to have his smile widened as, by using the leverage afforded by him being on top of her, he slashed away at the rest of her clothing, each slash attempting to tear more and more of her outfit.

The more he aimed towards this, the less wary he was of those around him, however, he wouldn't catch this, as he was almost too engrossed in taking his reward, surely to be more fulfilling than say, a random Cherrim or something.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:37:43, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark finally finished there and moved to her lower articles, ripping these off in the same manner, tearing them to shreds. He seemed all too eager to take the prize.

He could read her mind to an extent what with telepathy, and he couldn't help but make a snide remark.
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.


Yep, he was almost entirely confident this was his.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:41:27, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark would finish ripping her clothing off entirely as he readied himself to claim her. It was here that his smiled deepened as his eyes focused on her, able to see her fear.

Let's see what you Humans are like.
he stated most sinisterly.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:45:27, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark made true his claim, entering himself into her. He was about to get started when a quick punch knocked him off of her, pushing him back a great distance as he into the wall.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 20:52:38, as written by BBClock
The Zoroark got himself up, wiping his face. He then spoke back to Orion in PokeSpeak.
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.


With that, he opened his mouth and aimed a Flamethrower at the Breloom, a fast jet of flame shooting towards the Mushroom Pokemon.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 21:00:10, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) circled and answered.
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.


Seeing as they both knew each other, there was a shocker.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 21:07:00, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) smirked, using telepathy to speak into Titania's mind.
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.


After that, he answered Orion.
But those ways aren't quite as fun.


With that, he let loose a Night Burst, a blinding blast of dark light.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 21:10:20, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) answered Orion, unaffected by his burst.
So it was, but I cannot let you stop me, especially when I still have time to finish.


With that, he used his superior speed to snatch his cloak, and charge at Titania, attempting to swipe her into his other arm.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 21:13:54, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) forced the Breloom to stop by holding Titania in front of him. The Breloom didn't dare attack her.
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.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 21:18:13, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) swung his head to the side as he swung Titania down so he had her under one arm to prevent facial attacks, redirecting her attack by proxy at his body (his body was tougher).
I wouldn't try anything little lady.
he stated into her mind as he slowly stepped back away from the Breloom towards the brush.

Orion, I dare you to try and find me. I'll hide my tracks.

# Wing City Main Entrance, 2011-03-01 21:24:26, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) answered Orion.
Heh, good luck.


With that, he turned and ran into the bush, expertly dodging trees and other foliage. When she did indeed trip him, he tumbled forwards and did a front roll, jumping back up to a running pace.

Where was he taking her, probably to a more secluded off the path area.

# Forest Border, 2011-03-01 22:01:36, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) kept running with Titania, quickly following the edge of the forest. He then veered sharply towards the outer edge of the foliage, running into it. He was taking a different path, to try and throw off the Breloom despite interference from the girl he had.

This foliage trick would hopefully allow him to quickly escape into the woods themselves once the thickets next to him cleared a bit.

# Forest Border, 2011-03-01 22:09:10, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) finally got his clearing and swerved into the woods proper, the trail he was taking having plenty of branches on the side that could be broken to leave a trail without his immediate noticing.

# Dark Woods, 2011-03-01 22:15:19, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) was tripped up, but was suitably near where he was going for in the first place, the small clearing up ahead. Even as he tripped, and his grasp slipped, he quickly stood up and picked her up again, taking her the short distance to the clearing where he then threw her onto her front.

That Breloom won't catch us here...now...before we were so rudely iterrupted...
he stated in Telepathy to her.

# Dark Woods, 2011-03-01 22:21:58, as written by BBClock
Ahriman (Zoroark) then lightly placed a claw on her back, it's sharpness almost digging at her skin, and he barely even touched it.
Now, on your hands and knees, just like an Absol...
he stated, using the threat of clawing her to force her into the position he wanted.
