Character Name: Emporio Aliño
Canon Name: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean
Age: 15
OC, AU, or CRAU History:
Emporio's Canon History is located on the JJBA wikipedia; notably, all images that could be considered graphic will be hidden by content warnings, as the site takes great care about such things. However, as I am aware the canon art style is offputting to some - If needed, you can right click this page, and choose 'Open In Reading Mode' from Google Chrome, and you will be able to read everything without the images!
Z-A's Canon is here, though the bullets below note vital differences between how Emporio handled matters - they also fill the blanks between the two instances (and for that matter, the blanks caused by an insufficient wikipedia.)
Some unique Lore Notes relevant to the world as a whole have been written as well.
Lastly, here is the AU History Write Up
Personality:
🌸 Incredibly intelligent, and intuitive - at least in the sense of self-preservation. Able to readily perform actions after reading about how to do so once (IE. - piloting a helicopter), though this is limited when it comes to physically powered tasks. Over all, generally a quick study and quicker at strategy, though he's prone to fluster under pressure. It takes a few seconds to get himself back in the game.
🌸 Kind-hearted, and caring. While he defaults to what protects himself, it's difficult for him to ignore injustice or trouble when it happens directly in front of him - though he often hesitates to take a direct route to stop it unless backed by someone else.
🌸 Very private by nature and necessity - the people he trusted and loved most all died soon after he opened his heart to them, and opening himself up to the people of Lumiose nearly ended the same way. Add in being separated again, and he's slow to do more than offer polite distance and a mask of cheer.
🌸 That said, he's naturally curious and excitable - encountering new things that are fun, bewildering, these are all things that ultimately draw out happiness from him. Actually containing and controlling his emotions isn't something he really grew up doing, so it's easy to knock him off guard with things like that.
🌸 Realistic, or at least mostly realistic. Expectations of the world's laws aside, he tends to assume not quite the worst but close to it - he understandably fears for Lida's life when they're talking to Corbeau, as in any typical mob situation, insults could easily get them killed. These expectations can lead to confusion when defied however; Corbeau, to fall on the same example, is in actuality extremely kind, making the man genuinely baffling to him (but he's not upset about it).
🌸 He's likewise deflective, and avoidant; Emporio doesn't enjoy direct conflict, as it attracts attention more often than not. Go figure, his go-to method of combat during the Z-A Royale is always sneaking up on people. If he can deal with something without creating fuss or drawing attention, he'll take it.
🌸 Above all though, despite all his fearful traits, Emporio is extremely determined - and for that matter, utterly brutal when pressed. His final resort in canon itself was an all or nothing poisoning, but his unconscious soul went for tearing the enemy's face off. When Emporio is backed in a corner, and his life is truly at risk, he doesn't back down...he gets deadly, and for the sake of others, he can get pretty close to that as well.
Powers:
For the sake of completion, and in case events within the game make them relevant, Emporio's Stands are listed below, alongside what is considered unique to the Pokemon World he is from.
🌸 'To Hear the Hearts of Pokemon' - Those who grew up in severe isolation, like Emporio, are more sensitive to the meanings of Pokemon behaviors. While it isn't a word-to-word language, it does mean that (at least with Pokemon from his own world) Emporio is able to understand them to a much more conversational degree compared to typical trainers. As Pokemon are in turn often very intelligent, this means he can direct them to perform various actions with much greater ease.
🌸 'Mega Compatibility' - Through the use of a 'Keystone', Emporio is typically able to harness and channel latent 'Mega Energy' within the air. Loosely defined as Natural Energy, this power is then synchronized with a compatible target (typically a Pokemon's held mega stone) in order to release power. At the moment, with no available Mega Power to wield, the keystone is non-functioning...but if a similar 'natural energy' is encountered later on, that could perhaps change.
🌸 STAND - 'Burning Down the House' - The Stand Emporio was born with. It manifests as an internal ability; simply put, Emporio was able to interact with memories of ruined locations by using existing structures to access them. These 'Ghost Rooms' resembled the original ruined structure at the prime of its existence, and nothing within could be permanently altered beyond that 'moment' in time. As such, while Ghost Foods could be tasted, they could not truly be consumed; Ghost weapons as well could not cause damage, simply passing through anything of the present day.
🌸 STAND - 'Weather Report' - The Stand Emporio inherited at the end of his series. Akin to a 'Persona'; it manifests as a humanoid formed from clouds, and has the ability to control the weather (and also punch things, technically). As a form of summon, it could be argued that in the event it comes to exist in Noanga, Weather Report is also a form of 'dependent'...though Weather Report is far more dedicated to protecting Emporio than anything else (potentially to Emporio's very detriment in fact). Despite its abilities being defined as 'controls weather', Weather Report is extremely flexible in its abilities- it has been used on screen to create space suits using breathable air as its material, manifest water and ice directly from the air itself, and even reduce the breathable air of a room into pure oxygen.
While not technically powers, the following are also noteworthy;
First, perhaps because of where he came from, the language that Emporio speaks by default is technically Kalosian. He can, however, switch to Kemetic Arabic, Cokmak, and Galarian English. If he tries to speak his native English, it is heard as gibberish. (For reference, Kemetic should sound like Egyptian Arabic, while Cokmak sounds like Turkish.)
Second, while current movesets are listed below, Legends ZA introduces a unique take on Pokemon learnsets that has been incorporated into the world-building of Emporio's AU. Specifically, a Pokemon never forgets a move; rather, a set of maximum four 'moves' are declared at the beginning of any trainer battles. Therefore, TMs aside, Emporio's combat oriented Pokemon could in fact make use of any move as listed on their Legends ZA level up listings.
Dependents:
🌸 Rotom (Dead Man's Party) - Typical resident of Emporio's 'Roto-Phone' and 'Roto-Bike'. Unfortunately, as both devices have abruptly bricked on the Noanga, they're prone to tantrums and mischief. Curiously, despite the phone being entirely bricked, they're still capable of glide and slow-fall features - though this may be due to their ability as a fully combat capable Pokemon. In fact, if Dead Man's Party possesses certain devices (as seen in existing Pokemon Canon), they'll change Type.
Moveset: Hex, Trick, Electro Ball, and Thundershock (which changes to the following if possessing an applicable appliance; Overheat (Heat related/Fire type), Hydro Pump (Washing/Mopping related/Water type), Blizzard (Freezing apparati/Ice type), Air Slash (Fans/Flight/Flying type), Leaf Storm (Foliage care/Grass type)). Full ZA Moveset Here.
🌸 Emboar (Blue Oyster Cult) - Emporio's first truly registered Pokemon, named for the song 'Burning for You'. Blue is fairly in sync with Emporio, and his most readily capable combat Pokemon as such (though the Rotom is more useful for fine tasks). A big eater (who'll honestly eat anything), Emporio had gotten him in the habit of staying out of the ball even at night when a Tepig, so now the bed is often shared with a massive 'flaming' boar.
Moveset: Heat Crash, Rollout, Bulldoze, Close Combat. Full ZA Moveset Here.
🌸 Golisopod (Kilroy Was Here) - A somewhat more recent addition to Emporio's team. Like Blue, Kilroy carries a megastone, but unless allowed by local surroundings, is unable to use it. Despite their size, they maintain some degree of anxiousness from their fairly recent life as a Wimpod. As Emporio was aware of Mega Golisopod when he caught the shiny Wimpod, he combined references to cleaning and robots via 'Mr. Roboto' for the name.
Moveset: First Impression, Pin Missile, Liquidation, Iron Head. Full ZA Moveset Here.
🌸 Zygarde - Reduced to 'Level 1' due to the Noanga. Emporio carries around a case containing the remaining 90% of Zygarde's cells, but while in theory the device could allow Zygarde to change forms, it appears to be inert while Zygarde is incapable of combat. To say the least, Zygarde's megastone is also useless for the same reason.
