[ooc: lol, so, I am kinda using this journal, but the point of this post remains the same; need to get in touch with me for some reason? Want Giratina to Shadow Force some bitches? Have any questions? Comment here!]

For ease of remembering what Giratina's been doing, I'll be keeping a record of the threads he's posted in~!

( Giratina's been a busy little bee~ )

So, who's curious about the rules of Giratina's deals :3

( DEALS WITH THE DEVIL )

*Even though Giratina had certainly talked big with his claims that he could take Dialga by himself, he wasn't exactly sure. After some internal debate, he decided that he might need a little help. So he left his ghosts with an escape route in case he didn't get back in time, sure that they'd know when to use it*

*Except one ghost wouldn't be going with them, because this ghost happened to be with Giratina. This ghost happened to be a Banette which was just like any other Banette, except that this one happened to get it's hands on a TM of Thief and had the ability Frisk, making it the utmost authority in finding and stealing things. When it asked Giratina why he was bringing it along, the death god had only replied, "Because you can find what I need." And so Banette was taken with Giratina, across dimensions, to the Torn World where he knew his best shot for taking down Dialga lay*

So. . . what am I looking for, anyway? *Banette was perched on Giratina's head, looking around at the Torn World with interest*

It's an old artifact of mine that I lost here some time ago. I never really saw a reason to find it again, but desperate times call for desperate measures. It's an angular gold orb and it should feel like me. Concentrate very hard, you should be able to feel it with your ability.

*Banette nodded, silently thinking that it wasn't made for this sort of thing. Frisk was for finding tasty berries hidden by other pokemon, not ancient artifacts of the god of death! But it did as Giratina said, closing it's eyes and concentrating as hard as it could. It took quite some time, but by following Banette's instructions, Giratina finally managed to track it down, hidden on an isolated platform. Swooping down to it, Giratina landed with an audible thump and Banette hopped down to poke at it*

What is this thingy?

It's the Platinum Orb, and it only works for me. With it, my attacks are stronger, and it takes no energy for me to stay in Origin Forme in other dimensions. You hold onto it until we get back, I- *Giratina suddenly broke off, his eyes growing wide*

Ehh? Whatsamatter, boss-man?

. . . A death. Dialga, he killed. . . *Giratina looked shocked and horrified, his wings shaking slightly* . . . Banette, we have to go. Get back on, NOW.

*Banette let out a soft 'eep!' before scrambling back onto Giratina's head and hanging on for dear life as Giratina sped out of portal, the Platinum orb still tightly in its grip*

GIRATINA



The Renegade Pokemon; God of Death and Dimensions

"A Pokemon that is said to live on the reverse side of ours. It appears in an ancient cemetary"


STATS

~NAME: Giratina
~POKEDEX NO: # 487
~TYPE: Ghost/Dragon
~LOCATION: Turnback Cave/Reverse World
~NATURE: Adamant
~ABILITY: Pressure/Levitate

ATTACKS

Shadow Force, Dragon Claw, Aura Sphere, Earth Power, Draco Meteor, Will-o-Wisp, Shadow Claw, Heal Block, Ancientpower, Ominous Wind, Shadow Ball, Endure, Payback, Swagger, Fly

*Note: Giratina will usually only use four attacks during a battle, though if the situation is desperate enough, he'll go for the other attacks in his arsenal

POWERS

As a ghost, Giratina has the ability to meld into the shadows whenever he wishes. Because of his position, he also has the ability to come and go through various dimensions at will. Long ago, he assembled a large swarm of masterless ghost pokemon to swear allegiance to him in exchange for his protection, and so he can call on them at any time. He also is in charge of reaping the souls of people and pokemon and ensuring they get to the Spirit Realm. Giratina's defense greatly outweighs his offense, but even so, he packs quite a punch and is difficult to take down.

PERSONALITY

Giratina is usually calm, sarcastic and pretty much an asshole. He calls things as he sees them and is rather full of himself. When he gets bored, he has no qualms with making other's lives miserable to amuse himself. If you manage to invoke his wrath, which isn't really that hard to do, he's liable to go totally crazy on you ass. He really does not like people invading his personal space, though he's okay with invading others'. His favorite pastimes include terrifying humans and spying on his fellow deities to mess with them later. Surprisingly, he does have a twisted sense of honor. If he feels like he is in the wrong, which rarely happens, he will do whatever he can to make up for it. He also always honors his bets, deals, and boons and will often not even try to twist them back on the other party.

Much to his surprise and chagrin, his human form is cute and female. When human, Giratina tends to be a bit less of a jackass for no reason but is also more easily angered. When human, Giratina's vulnerabilities seem to come out more, as it is more obvious how much he detests disrespect and being or looking weak. He hates being hit on when human, so any comments of that sort are usually bait for a Shadow Forcing.

LIKES

His ghosts, spicy food, poffins, Death, not fearing the reaper, being scary, Reaper Cloths, Spell Tags, Rare Bones, hopping dimensions, having minions, idk his BFF Darkrai?, changing formes, gold ornaments, his wings, being amused, tricking people into doing his bidding, claws, pwning bitches, knocking people down a peg or two, usurping authority, giving lessons on how to be intimidating.

DISLIKES

Arceus, getting pwned, being called 'Tina', his human form, Arceus, how short his human form is, jibes at his weight, Arceus, disrespect, THE YOUNG PEOPLES THESE DAYS, Ho-oh, Normal and Psychic types with a few exceptions, Life, being cheated, Arceus, most humans, repeating himself, taking responsibility, being hit on, annoying things, evil schemes foiled, ARCEUUUUUSSSSSS

THOUGHTS ON OTHERS

Arceus [multitype_king]
~I WILL DESTROY HIM IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO
Cresselia [lunarwing]
~Frankly, she's too nice for me to really mess with :| Gives good advice, though.
Riley/Sir Aaron [ironblueaura]
~Oh, they're both such wonderful little slaves~ Though I do wish the more modern one was a tad more respectful like his other personality.
Darkrai [everyonesgarden]
~One of the few deities I actually like, though he's been less than thrilled with me lately :\
Ho-oh [rainbowbeak]
~My direct opposite and all that jazz, he's usually totally annoying, though he can be some kind of decent on occasion
Paul [silent_coma]
~What, that kid who kinda hates his pokemon? He's fun to mess with, and even more fun to battle~
Dialga [timepony]
~I guess I still kinda owe him a beating, but eh, he's more fun to make fun of at the moment.
Palkia [pale_prism]
~I'm willing to just leave her alone, but if she tries to rip out my wings like she's threatened, I'm totally ready for round 2 >:|
Steven [i_heart_rocks]
~Both of those silver haired guys are fun to mess with, but this one tends to react more amusingly. Though I do partially blame him for the widespread use of that damned nickname.
Steven [whisperingsteel]
~This one cooks me delicious spicy food, so he gets a spot on my 'Do Not Kill' list. He's good to talk to if I'm having human issues too~
Heatran [magmastorm]
~ARGH THIS GUY IS SO ANNOYING but I'm not quite sure why I feel the need to be civil to him most of the time :\
Jirachi [milleniastar]
~He's just about as cute as my ghosts~ ♥ AND IF ANYONE HURTS HIM THEY'LL HAVE TO ANSWER TO ME D:<
Ditto [pokepimp]
~Ugh, next time I see that wad of bubblegum, I'm gonna squish it into dust >:|

I love the ghosties so much, so I wrote up some stuff about them ♥

( Info about the ghosts home dimension and their allegiance to Giratina )

Individual ghosts:

Gastly: Set apart by his red cravat fastened impossibly around it's non-neck, this Gastly is a bit of a pyromaniac that knows Will-o-wisp because his father was a Vulpix, don't ask him about it, srsly

Sableye: the most artistic of Giratina's ghosts, this Sableye carries around a permanent marker at all times in the hopes of defacing a sleeping person's face. Its favorite move is Shadow Sneak and it gets very upset if its 'art' gets ruined in any way.

Drifloon: Younger than most of the other Drifloon, this one is a bit of a loner and has been known to get separated from the other ghosts, then freak out about it. It's not very good at battling, though it does know Ominous Wind.

Spiritomb: This Spiritomb is actually the First Spiritomb and is incredibly ancient. He is one of the few ghosts that have ever won their freedom from Giratina. He speaks in the voice of an old man and can be understood by humans, but he doesn't speak much.

Froslass: She is one of the two fastest of Giratina's ghosts and is often tag-teamed with Gengar, the other fastest, because of that. She is rather timid on her own, but when she is together with Gengar, she easily manages to keep him in check. Due to a Haunter induced Nightmare which Cresselia got involved with, she knows Attract and Water Pulse, in addition to her previously known attacks of Wake-up Slap and Blizzard.

Gengar: He is the other fastest ghost and is a lot more outgoing than Froslass. He's kind of a loose cannon, but he's good at what he does. He has been known to goof off while under Giratina's orders, but that's what Froslass is for.


I'll update this as more ghosties make their personalities known~

Soooooo, just for giggles and the sake of discussion, I've decided to write up my theories on Giratina and, tangentially, the Sinnoh region myths~

( Fun with Theories )

I'll probably update this every now and then with more theories~ If you have any questions or theories or whatever, go ahead and comment. I love discussion :3
