Kaleesh

"In the face of duty, all else pales."

0 · 375 views · located in The Land of Yoso

a character in “Pokemon: Kingdoms Divided”, as played by Ramphy

Description

Image


27 year old Ninkask male, strong but wiry.

Kaleesh dons a simple uniform of tough black fiber that covers him from toes to neck, with slots on the back to allow extension and retraction of his wings. The insignia of the Kusa kingdom is inscribed in green on the breast and back. He wears a helmet in the style of the Ninjask clan along with a scarf that covers his face up to his eyes. He never removes the scarf unless sleeping while off duty.

Personality

The most striking, or perhaps un-striking, aspect of Kaleesh's personality is his tendency to remain extremely quiet and reserved in almost all situations. Most strangers would be put off by his lack of words and stiff demeanor but his closest friends among the guard know him to also be a profoundly emotional being. Kaleesh adores the natural beauty of the Kusa kingdom. Nothing makes him happier than to walk through the forests and rivers, and watching children play along the lush green grass surrounding pristine lakes. He would do anything to protect such wonders, making it easy to understand why he devotes himself so wholeheartedly to his duties as a royal guard member.

A loner for most of his life, Kaleesh tends to remain aloof from strangers for much longer than others. Those patient enough, however, to kindle a friendship with him find a calm and loyal companion who has even been known to joke around with the best of them from time to time. Of course, the much more likely observation will see Kaleesh quietly and reliably carrying out his duties to his beloved kingdom.

Equipment

~Moves

Aerial Ace:

Kaleesh careens through the air at an incredible speed to strike the opponent a solid blow that is nearly impossible to avoid.

Fury Cutter:

Kaleesh unsheathes his small daggers and strikes the foe strategically. Successive hits against the same target will start to cleave open large wounds, dramatically increasing the power of later strikes.

Agility:

Kaleesh beats his wings at an extraordinary rate, increasing his speed and to levels only matched by the fastest legendary Pokemon of myth.

Double Team:

Kaleesh moves fast enough to create illusory clones of himself, making it incredibly difficult to find the real Kaleesh and attack him.

Dig:

The only remaining technique of his old life, Kaleesh burrows deep into the ground to avoid incoming attacks and resurfaces next to the opponent in a surprise attack.


Ability: Infiltrator

Kaleesh is adept at maneuvering through most defenses an opponent can put up, striking directly for unmitigated damage.

History

Kaleesh was born in the middle of the many deserts of the Doku kingdom. His parents were nowhere around, and Kaleesh instead learned survival from a small group of other Nincadas. After only a month of companionship, these Nincadas abandoned Kaleesh, explaining that they had to keep their group as small as possible in order to ensure adequate food and less of a risk of attracting enemies. Somewhat bitter, but nevertheless eternally grateful for their care, Kaleesh adopted a solitary lifestyle in the desert with the tricks he had learned. He spent most of his time burrowing through the sands of Doku, avoiding the hot sun and unsavory characters and popping up occasionally to forage for meals. Life was about discipline, planning, caution, and maturity. He never had the opportunity to be anything else. As he grew older it did not take long to strengthen his endurance and power, and before long he was a young adult Ninjask who no longer felt comfortable in the sandy burrows he had called home his entire life. Utilizing his newfound speed to coast over the desert at night, Kaleesh found the most beautiful sight of his few years. Trees, grass, flowing water, and all the natural splendor of Kusa overwhelmed Kaleesh's desert-hardened senses. He knew he had found a paradise to call home.

Thus introduced to the Kusa kingdom, Kaleesh spent days and months meeting as many residents as he could to tell him stories of their homeland. While it was somewhat difficult to replace years of solitude with this sudden extroversion, his insatiable appetite for knowledge of the land and its customs drove him to overcome any fear of being around others. After almost a year of excitement, companionship, and exploration, Kaleesh realized that it would have to be his duty in life to protect his new paradise so that all Pokemon could have the opportunity to experience the wondrous plants and foliage of Kusa. He sought training wherever he could find it to hone his formidable speed and agility into the tools of battle and national defense. His survival experiences and natural discipline growing up made him a quick learner. He was accepted by Queen Virizion to be a new member of the royal guard of Kusa, finally fulfilling his dream. Now he fulfills his responsibilities using every last bit of his heart, soul, and mind, convinced that devotion and obedience to the royal house will keep Kusa safe forever.

So begins...

Kaleesh was standing guard in the treetops near the Queen's residence. Flitting rapidly and silently from perch to perch, even an observer who knew he was there would have great trouble finding him among the leaves. He had been there since the sunrise and seen nothing unusual, but some small movements on the forest floor now caught his attention. Hooded figures approached the gate swiftly and gracefully. "The Queen!" thought Kaleesh. Taking one more look around to be sure there was no one following them, he zipped over the gates towards the Queen's chambers. Much had been on his mind recently, and he needed to seek the Queen's audience as soon as he could.

Soon in the hallway leading the Queen's residence, he saw Rafe exiting the royal chambers ahead of him. Kaleesh bowed politely as the Roserade passed. Rafe had taught him many valuable battle techniques as the trainer of Kusa's military, and Kaleesh would always be indebted to his knowledge and prowess. The ninjask then made his way in to see Antheia himself. He kneeled as soon as he saw the Queen in her chair. "Your majesty, forgive my intrusion but I have urgent matters to discuss."

Kaleesh kept his head bowed as he spoke, the respect he had for Antheia very apparent in his posture and voice. "As Rafe has no doubt already informed you, a guild has risen up in the former kingdom of Doku. I do not know what numbers their ranks hold or the purpose of their organization, but the sparse information I have collected suggests that they plan to involve themselves some way in the approaching conflict. As you know, I was born in Doku. I know there exist many honorable Pokemon who would never harm our kingdom, but I have also seen the darker side of its people, Pokemon with no honor who gain joy from preying on the innocent. To protect our people, I humbly request to journey to Doku and uncover what information I can on this guild and their ambitions. I will move swiftly and silently, harm no one, and return in a few days time with my discoveries."

Suzaku

Suzaku watched time fly by, as memories flashed through her eyes. Some made her smile and some made her stifle a giggle. Like the time her father try to impress her with fire only to burn down her bed room...and they tried to calm it down only for the fire to spread to the next room- 'ah..What good memories...' She smiled to herself, but quickly focused on a light groan. Turning her head, she noticed her father shifting awake from his dreams or maybe nightmare. Though even so, he was waking to reality. Anywho IT was rather amusing watching him look around and finally noticing her, his expressions obviously showing his embarrassment. She knew her father too well.
"Sorry, I don't know what happened me, How long I was asleep?"
"Not long." Suzaku lied. It actually been an hour or so..but she didnt want to make her father feel bad. "And its alright, you're tired thats all..." Sitting up, she observed her father's state, noting every burn and cut on his body. 'I'll have to get some healers..' She told herself, before turning her attention back at Garuda. Remaining quiet, something snapped within her, and she felt a bit different. Her eyes felt moist, and she almost felt her lips quiver. and Suddenly, her body acted on its own, and tackled her father in a huge hug. "I missed you..." Suzaku murmured, trying to be light against his wound, but was too pleased with her fathers forgotten warmth. "Why does a war have to start.." She whispered as if it was a whine, and she immediately regretted it as it slipped through her lips. Suzaku was trying to be an adult, but at times she forgets about maturity and has her whining moments.
Electra

Watching the crowd, she felt dazed and unfocused, until a little pat on her back awoke her.
Electra blinked a bit, and looked over her shoulder to find the source. The pichu member. She smiled a bit, and turned around, before kneeling in front of him. "Yes?" She asked kindly, her signature cool smile gracing her lips.
The pichu giggled, and jumped a bit. "Ms.Koya has arrived and gave me a mission to find you Electra!" The jolteon smiled inwardly at her leader's ways with kids, before nodding acting as if the mission was a great importance. "Oh I see~ Well arent you a brave one." She stood up, and patted the child on the head. "Thank you for telling me this~" Placing a finger on the child's cheek, she sent a little jolt of lightening, causing his hair to spike up. The pichu jumped in shock before giggling happily at the recharge. "hehe bye Electra~!" Then within seconds, the child ran off in bundles of energy which jolteon gave. Her shocks are known to have 100,000 watts, so of course the pichu will probably be more energized then ever. Chuckling a bit, she head toward the office, noticing the umbreon entering as well. The other Eeveelutions. Quickening her steps, she stood next to Atrum, hearing his question.
"Yes What can we do for you leader?"
Antheia

Antheia opened her eyes slightly, as she felt a new presence in the room. It took awhile to notice, as the steps were light and deaf.
Hopefully, This must be one of her soldiers or maybe her knight, and if so, she was pleased with the results of training. Looking downward, she noticed the one kneeling immediately. Her knight, Kaleesh.
A kind and happy smile graced her lips, as she observed the Ninjask. "Your majesty, forgive my intrusion but I have urgent matters to discuss."
Antheia studied his way of speaking, and his posture with great care, noticing the obvious amount of respect that was given to her. This made her feel happy, and her eyes gleamed with satfication, but as she thought so, she allowed her ears to open to listen to her great knight.
"Its far Alright Knight, what is it that you need to discuss..?"
"As Rafe has no doubt already informed you, a guild has risen up in the former kingdom of Doku. I do not know what numbers their ranks hold or the purpose of their organization, but the sparse information I have collected suggests that they plan to involve themselves some way in the approaching conflict. As you know, I was born in Doku. I know there exist many honorable Pokemon who would never harm our kingdom, but I have also seen the darker side of its people, Pokemon with no honor who gain joy from preying on the innocent. To protect our people, I humbly request to journey to Doku and uncover what information I can on this guild and their ambitions. I will move swiftly and silently, harm no one, and return in a few days time with my discoveries."
As she listened to his request, her pleased eyes filed with two other emotions. Pride and Worry. The thought of a knight, sacrificing himself for his kingdom and yet vowed to harm no one during a war, made her heart flutter with happiness and respect. Though at the same time, she was worried, has he have nothing else to ask for? Clearing her throat, she allowed her smile to soften greatly. "I, Antheia, grant you permission to go to Doku and collect as much information as you can... I shall suit you up with necessary supplies for this journey.." She exhaled and continued. "Though if you have any other request to ask for, please do tell.." She shifted on her chair a bit, and gave this whole idea a thought. Should she follow this quest? The other kingdoms, and defiantly the guild, should know her appearance within seconds of seeing her.. So that was defiantly a no-no. Maybe her son should attend this... to learn to survive in the outside world..

Kaleesh

"I, Antheia, grant you permission to go to Doku and collect as much information as you can... I shall suit you up with necessary supplies for this journey.." She exhaled and continued. "Though if you have any other request to ask for, please do tell.."

Kaleesh was taken aback at the generosity of his Queen, even though he he had seen it expressed many times to the people of Kusa. "No, your majesty," he replied. "I could not dream of asking you for any more than you have so graciously granted." As the Ninjask stood, a mournful sigh escaped his lips. "To tell you the truth, your majesty, I also seek this mission for personal reasons. Though it was a hard childhood, Doku was my home. In my heart I would love to see it rebuilt, to be led by noble Pokemon seeking the common good of others. Yet, I cannot simply assume that this guild will be such a leader to Doku. I must know if it intends for good or ill, and make sure it is stopped if it truly seeks to gain fortune off of conflict."

He suddenly realized he had said far more than he had intended. Antheia just seemed so understanding the words spilled out without Kaleesh realizing it. He quickly bowed his head. "I apologize, my Queen. I did not mean to trouble you with my past." He was about to turn and go, when he noticed the Queen appeared to be deep in thought. He decided to wait a little longer standing at attention, to see if she would speak.


Finbar

It had been a long day of preparations and strategizing for Finbar, and he was visibly worn out. The war room had cleared out, leaving an empty table strewn with flags and figurines, along with stacks of papers cluttering the floor and benches. Finbar slowly collapsed on the ancient throne of Mizu, letting out a loud groan. The only other Pokemon in the room was a late-middle aged Octillery, the most decorated general serving in the old royal guard but now retired. "What a horrible mess, Bumble," Finbar moaned to the Octillery, "I had forgotten how terrible a business war really is. And it hasn't even started yet."

Bumble slowly walked over to the throne and sat down by his old friend. "Aye, Finbar, that it is. But I believe in ya, as do the rest o the folks in Mizu, even if they seem a wee bit scared right now."

"We shall see about that." Muttered Finbar. "But in the meantime, what do you think of the plans so far?"

"I cannae say it's the best position I've ever fought out of, but it'll have to do fer now," replied Bumble. "A full assault on just Kusa or Hi would leave our borders too unprotected from tha other kingdom. Our only real option is ta divide our forces to assault both at once. It'll be tough, aye, for sure, but if we play our cards right we just might get through with casualties to a minimum."

Finbar ran his fingers purposefully on the extravagant coral finishes of the throne. "You may be right. Garuda and Antheia are far too inexperienced to be proper leaders. Garuda is a hothead who only knows how to stir up a fight, and Antheia shows promise but is far too young to fully understand the responsibilities of leading an entire kingdom. Further, their royal guards suffered greatly under the wars of the past generation, much of the military leadership is new blood that has not yet been properly hardened on the battlefield. If we can use our experience against them, we could catch them unprepared."

Bumble grinned, slyly. "I don't mean ta brag, your majesty, but I'd wager Mizu still has tha finest artillery divisions in all o' Yoso. I've made sure o' that."

Finbar permitted himself a small smile. "Ha, I know you have, Bumble. There never was a commander as demanding as you are on the sharpshooter recruits." Finbar paused a moment, seemingly lost deep in thought. "I won't keep you any longer, Bumble. But thank you for your insights, and for making today as bearable as it could be." Bumble nodded and, never losing his grin, made his way out of the throne room. Finbar suddenly sat up straight on his throne. The time for rest was not quite in grasp for him. There was still the matter of the young twins. Closing his eyes and meditating deeply, Finbar reached out to Taobi and Fedui telepathically, sending a simple message. Come to me, my children, there is something I must briefly discuss with you. He sighed again and leaned back against elegantly carved stone. He did not want his children to be involved in this conflict, but as the only heirs of the throne it was their duty to be present in the fights of Mizu. He could only hope that they came to no harm and would someday forgive him for being unable to avoid this war.

Antheia

"No, your majesty," he replied. "I could not dream of asking you for any more than you have so graciously granted." As the Ninjask stood, a mournful sigh escaped his lips. "To tell you the truth, your majesty, I also seek this mission for personal reasons. Though it was a hard childhood, Doku was my home. In my heart I would love to see it rebuilt, to be led by noble Pokemon seeking the common good of others. Yet, I cannot simply assume that this guild will be such a leader to Doku. I must know if it intends for good or ill, and make sure it is stopped if it truly seeks to gain fortune off of conflict." Her green orbs blinked slowly, as she took this in. She always knew this..or had an idea that this mission had something more personal behind it... though she never guess that Kaleesh would be so open about it. Honestly, it made her feel happy, warm, and felt like a good queen. Her knights seem to trust her.
I apologize, my Queen. I did not mean to trouble you with my past." She smiles. "Its alright...I'm glad that you're so open to me.."
Antheia watched him go but noticed Kaleesh stop, and she assumed he knew that she was about to say something. 'Observant..' She nodded, and was pleased to hear her son's voice calling for her. "Mom?! Where are you?"
"Here my son.." She called back, and smiled at Kaleesh. A soft glint shown in her eyes, and she spoke in a soft voice. "Kaleesh, please do a favor for me...and take my son with you to Doku." She looked at her nearby book case, as if she was trying to distract herself. "I want him to experience things... and if I wait, it may get too dangerous for him to leave... and if something..bad happens to me, I may not be able to let him experience things before he becomes the heir and experiences the burden of the crown." She stood up from the chair, and stepped near the knight. "If you accept this favor, protect Keita..and teach him?" She always worried for her son, seeing how he always stayed in the sun and not play around as a kid should. IT may be something he enjoys to do, but she can't help but worry. "But.. I'll have to talk to him first.. so Kaleesh go visit Rafe in the armory and he should have the necessary supplies to give you. Just tell him that your going to Doku. He'll understand"

Electra

"I'm just another guild member, Atrum. Just the same as you and the others who are out there..." She responded, her usual retort to praise, titles or anything of the sort. She didn't hate it, she actually liked it. but the others did more than she did. She didn't truly deserve it. "But enough about that." She said, messing with the closest dart on the wall, the one pointing to Kusa. "You and I, Atrum, will be heading through the kingdoms, more sightseeing and scouting than anything else. Electra, you my dear, will be tending to the training and overseeing the guild building while Astron and Als begin to rebuild the castle of Doku and the surrounding areas with the rest of the guild." She turned to the others, the dart now in her hand. She nodded slowly, pleased at the job. Something she enjoyed to do, train. "It'll be my pleasure too Koya." She replied slowly, making sure to use "Koya" instead of "Leader" But as she said that, she decided to stay quiet. She wasent the one to talk, no she rarely talked at all. So instead she listened to the conversations, her ears twitching at any word that caught..her ears. "I wish you luck Koya, Atrum." Electra nodded towards the both of them, genuinely hoping for their safety.

Suzaku

Suzaku felt her father's arms wrap around her in a warm embrace, which fufilled many of her desires... Oh how she missed the feeling. Her aching muscles stopped pulsing and seemed to heal against the heat of Garuda.

"Forgive me, is partly my fault" Her hair was then gently caressed by her father, the flaming red and orange locks slipping between his fingers. Though dispite this wonderful feeling, she listened in closing, knowing what her father was going to say.. "It seems that this world is ruled by fools, I'm seeking answers, the old man of Mizu want prisoners and the woman of Kusa refuses to hand both things, in the end we were unable to reach an agreement", Suzaku nodded silently in response against her fathers chest, as she took in his ashy yet comforting scent. Her mind was at ease, no thoughts of training, and the tightness of her mind just vanished... His next words made her smile softly.

"Now all I can do is defend my people and especially you,""I will not let anything happen to you" the King repeated softly.

"I know that father.." She pulled her head back a bit, and looked up at him, her eyes twinking with genuine happiness and trust. "Your the strongest man here and in the rest of the land, because your my father!" Suzaku added on thoughtfully, but then her eyes shined softly. "But please, stay safe..nevertheless." Suzaku tilted her head a bit, as she dusted off some ashe from her father's cheek.

Kaleesh

The ninjask had been correct, and the queen had one last thing to say. "Kaleesh, please do a favor for me...and take my son with you to Doku." He froze, caught completely off guard by the request. He had intended to go alone, to seek answers about his former homeland. He could move faster than any other scout or guard in Kusa and had the training to be silent and deadly, but the Queen's son....did not have such honed skills in the field. Or at all.

"Your majesty, I, uh...well," Kaleesh began to stutter. Bringing Keita was certainly going to throw his original plans for a loop. But suddenly he stopped his doubts. Her royal highness was making a request, one that was for the good of the royal family and therefore for Kusa. Who was he to go against the desires of Antheia? "Of course." Kaleesh finally replied, regaining his composure. "It would be an honor to aid the prince in learning survival and experience on a mission like this." While his voice did not betray his emotions, his mind still swirled with questions and problems of what to do now that he had to essentially babysit the awkward prince Keita. It would be difficult. Kaleesh was unsure what the young sceptile knew, if anything, of reconnaissance or battle or basic survival outside the forest. He also feared Keita would stick out like a sore thumb if they had to pass themselves off as visitors to the locals. Nevertheless, he resolved to find a way no matter the odds, for it was the will of his queen that he should go. So go, Keita would, and Kaleesh would make sure he came back without a scratch.

Finbar

After seeing his children run off to make ready for bed and preparations, Finbar retired to his room as well. It had been a long day, and he was exhausted, but he couldn't stop his mind from racing between detail and detail for the upcoming conflict. He was proud of his young ones for being able to step up and take responsibility. Taobi would love it, he was sure, but even though Fedui had been the picture of a happy and obedient daughter a few moments ago, Finbar knew she loathed war and would take her sentence very harshly. It could not be helped, he needed them if the war effort was to be a success. Taobi he knew had more resolve than any other general he could have sent to the Kusa front, if he could just avoid being rash it would all be well. And Fedui was without a doubt among the most skilled healers, if not the most, in all of his kingdom. She would be the backup to Taobi's recklessness, keeping the troops safe.

At any rate, it wasn't the Kusa front that was worrying him. As he rolled over in his bed, Finbar imagined the upcoming battle with that hothead, Garuda. The king of Hi was not one to be lightly trifled with. Even with Mizu's elemental advantage over fire, Garuda and his father before him had demonstrated that type advantage was not the deciding factor in a fight. He would have to try to start the assault on Hi through the cover of darkness, when the sun wasn't boosting the power of Hi's armies. Garuda would undoubtedly fight back with his ability to intensify the sunlight during the day, so Finbar would have to think of something to counteract that, as well. But what could... Finbar sat straight up in bed. "Of course!" He thought. "I will have to get aid from the tribe of Politoed." Their ancient rain dancing techniques were capable of summoning huge storms with pouring rain. With their help, Finbar could be assured that at least half of the battlefield would be covered in water, even if the other half was scorching and dry as a bone.

Stumbling upon this new piece of strategy gave Finbar the peace of mind he needed to drift off to sleep. The next day would be very busy indeed.
