THE MAN. the broken heir. master steel type trainer. treasure hunter. kopec agent. the former champion of hoenn could be considered all of these things and more. steven is a man who's lived and finds himself still living, going through the changes of time and yielding to none. his journey has led him to kanto, johto, sinnoh, unova, and at current the kalos region. an individual who spends his time remaining under the radar, as opposed to in the lime light, it's not out of the ordinary to find him seeking the answers to some of the greatest mysteries of the pokémon world. he's a treasure hunter, fossil maniac, and a lover of mysterious stones.. something that is perhaps an offshoot of his raising. with the rising tension of the war that has found a place in the world between boure and zemina, steven's place has been solidified within the numbers of kopec. he participates minimally in the war for the time being, but the preservation of the pokémon world has become something of a sole focus for him. the extreme's in which he'll go to protect it is a boundary he has yet to cross. FRIENDS. in his thirty five years of living, steven stone has made his fair share of friends. growing up it was tough for people to tear through the walls that were built up around him from the parental raising he endured, but upon starting his journey that barrier was broken. it's not nearly as hard for him to spark a friendship with the right person if given the opportunity. he isn't completely above it despite his status. with time, he's managed to grow a little more weary of people and their standing amongst the war. the countless fighting has tarnished the idea of true friendship in his eyes, and so he's simply slipped into the mindset that no one can be trusted -- especially the friends he's made in the past. he firmly believes in keeping his friends close, and his enemies closer. he's become well equipped at deception, so whether or not the friendship established with steven stone is actually genuine is something that would be questionable at best. he's burned the bridges of trust with nearly everyone for the sake of establishing peace once again. ENEMIES. steven has made many enemies in his life and i wouldn't doubt that there are members of zemina and boure that would likely hold disdain for him. it's natural. as an agent of kopec, i'm certain that he's jeopardized many of both radical groups' plans in the past and that's something that his history with enemies should build off of. somewhere on the inside, he finds both zemina and boure to be reputable. they're the worse, but he isn't the type to show case outright anger or rage at what they've been doing. he's in high control of his emotions which makes his icy thoughts calculated. he doesn't necessarily go around bad mouthing or shunning followers of zemina and boure, but he does put them on a certain level that each of the villainous gangs he's come across were once on. he thinks them no better than what those vile groups were all about, and while each radical group may not have the same purpose as those gangs, he does find the war they've stirred to be just as threatening to the pokémon world at large. his hatefire disapproval for zemina and boure grow everyday.. if you are a follower of either, you'll likely fall under this category which will definitely make past friendships interesting. LOVERS. there hasn't been much in the ways of love when it comes to steven. his journey and his pokémon have taken up a great deal of his time, which has left throws of love practically non existent with him. this, however, does not mean that he is completely above it.. the right woman or man simply has yet to come along. being that he's thirty five, he doesn't think of it as a physical emotion he needs from another being because his focus and his drive isn't completely centered around falling in love and starting a family. he often times is oblivious to the affectionate side of others which usually makes things most awkward for him. it'd most certainly take an outsanding individual to get his attention. steven is a rather intelligent man, so there'd need to be something there intellectually if anything happened at all. because of the war? the thought of ever filling this aspect of his life has all but tarnished. OTHERS. rivalries. students. mentorships. whatever. steven has established various kinds of friendships throughout his life and if none of the other categories fit those distinctive dynamics ( primarily in game ), then this is where they belong. let me know, i'm pretty much up for anything! | STEVEN STONE
THIRTY FIVE. TREASURE HUNTER. DEMISEXUAL. KOPEC AGENT. |

“ tate and liza are an interesting pair.. hmm. i imagine steven's rapport with them would be a dynamic one because they have likely worked together in the past on many different occassions in the hoenn region. considering he's the former champion and they are former gym leaders, it's only natural that they've had some sort of interaction.. even if it was on a battling capacity and a test of strength on his behalf. they would have likely met when competitive battling was the pivotal moment of his life. now that the world has become strife with war, and sides have been chosen, i can't imagine that his dispositon towards them will become less than friendly. he's been on his own personal journey for some time now, so his ideals about the war and his stance in relation to each radical group is a little less than absolute. i'd like to see how their dynamic would pan out going forward, sort of how their approach towards him would be. i know for sure that he isn't so open about his decision to be apart of the numbers of kopec, but i can't imagine he'd take lightly to radical views forced upon him.. what do you think?

steven stone and sapphire. sapphire has probably met steven once before from the game events, but she has never battled him or really spoken to him all that much-that was ruby. sapphire is still in awe mode- and it might be cool to see steven sort of...mentor her? he seems very intelligent and level headed, and she's not really like that in the slightest. overall their relationship might stem from her admiration of anyone receiving glory, and because steven is the ex champion and known all over the world, she'll naturally want to be near him, she's corrupt in that way. but i kind of get this feeling that steven might realize her reasons for talking to him just...aren't very honest and good reasons. her admiration is not the normal, good admiration. but steven seems like a nice guy, so maybe he'll ignore that, or use some sort of clever way to convey his thoughts about that to her. it might take her some getting used to, but maybe she can eventually admire him as a mentor figure for the right reasons? this is reeeaally confusing, if you have any questions, hmu on skype??

steven stone Of course they need plotting! So, as it says in her app and stuff Phoebe is really much more in line with Kopec's viewpoints and what they're about, but she has been an Elite Four member for a long time and has friends in the league. She also hopes that by the end of the war the league can grow up and be what they're supposed to be. So she's in Zemina. StilL! Phoebe tried to be good friends with everyone in Ever Grande, so she probably spent a lot of time at least trying to get on Steven's better side, and she really doesn't care about allegiance lines despite her position so at least she's not going to have an issue with his choice to go Kopec. I honestly just think these two could continue to be friendly. Phoebe would also just be ecstatic to see Steven after he's been gone for so long.

“ So this is definitely interesting. Surprisingly, I understand everything that you were trying to convey, and I like it. I was curious about the particular relationship he would possibly have with Sapphire and Ruby considering their game history.. or with Sapphire, their lack thereof. I like the idea of a harsh mentorship developing between the two of them. He'd see promise in her, albeit he wouldn't be completely oblivious to her real reasonings. He's very good at reading people. I just think, knowing his deceptive ways, he'd likely turn her own reasonings against her. I can imagine that he would eventually challenge her to a battle with the intention to crush her spirit and this fanatical idea she has in her head for people who have worked hard to achieve their ranking and status. That could be where the tides turn and the 'right reasonings' are created.. what do you think? And would he know that she was Zemina? Since he's been gone for some time, I can't imagine when he does return to Hoenn he'd divulge much of his standings with Kopec if anything at all. Let me know! (: | |
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS ▶ @phoebe “ Haha, Phoebe is absolutely adorable. Judging from her standpoint, I can see something particularly genuine between the two of them. It's sort of weird, since ideally it does contradict with his personality somewhat considering the sides chosen. But I think she could earn his trust and get him to let his walls down. A developing friendship between the two and maybe some private encounters could be interesting. I bet she could keep everything into perspective for his more harsher views with some of the radiant charm she seems to have. I'd be up for threading with them, but at current I'm following a loosely linear timeline for his threads leading up to the release of ORAS to sort of keep his development in check with the release of the new games. But if she has a reason to come to Kalos, maybe the two could run into each other there as well. Could be interesting. (: | |

steven stone aksjfhdksjh this is so late, but! i think they might look up to steven as kind of an older mentor/respected figure? he was champion, after all, and they were pretty young when they first joined the league. i could see them kind of ... attaching to steven -- at least when they were younger? asking him if he had anything cool on his latest excursion, etc. etc. whenever he came back to visit mossdeep. and in regards to the present, i don't think either of the twins are particularly gung-ho about zemina at the moment! they're doing their best to keep mossdeep neutral, so i think they (or at least liza) could eventually end up somewhat discussing the situation in the regions with a more unbiased point of view; it might change in the future, but for now they're probably still very friendly with steven. c: maybe not with as much childish enthusiasm as they had when they were, say, nine, but probably still looking forward to meeting him on his rare visits to mossdeep.

steven stone and sapphire. i'm so glad you got it, lol. i don't think sapphire naturally comes with the ability to be 'real' with anyone, because her ideal and desired persona is sort of husklike, although she doesn't know it yet. he sees promise buried within sapphire, and she sees steven's fame and glory and bam, they're already started. but what i think makes steven unique is he might be able to wiggle his way past that glorification, and a battle like you said is perfect to do it. when she loses, she'll be left seriously thinking whether or not steven is a role model to look up to or not (but the only question is whether or not she's the good apprentice who learns for the right reasons). also, i do believe he'd know her allegiance, from the start, just by intuition. she's a somewhat open book, in that way. but what i think would prevent them from squabbling over war is her respect for him, and his ability to read people. anyone who really takes a long look at sapphire can see that zemina isn't a real thing to her by any means, it's basically just a 'hero' fest, in which she can fight and her cravings are fulfilled. in her heart, zemina means absolutely nothing to her- there's no passion or anything. i think steven might see that, so it might not bother him very much?

steven stone Phoebe tries her best to be a sweet child even nearing thirty.. And genuine is another thing she tries her best to be! Genuine happiness, genuine curiosity, genuine affection. I honestly think that the fact that Steven seems like he broods from time to time, Phoebe would try really hard to brighten his days! Again, hopefully her views will help make the contradiction about sides less of a problem, but who knows. Either way she likely misses him a lot and would at least try to reconnect with an old friend. As for going to Kalos, I could maybe figure out something, but it wouldn't be horrible if we waited for after ORAS : )

“ That's an interesting take! I think that could change his outlook on them now that you've given me some background history to play with. I think the fact that they would have admired him in the times that were not strife with war could probably play an important part in how his outlook of them will be shaped with their allegiance to Zemina. I think the fact that they were fairly young when he would have met them would have him viewing them in a sort of mentorship. I think that would be beneficial for them in their development, almost pivotal. I can't imagine that he wouldn't take some sort of enjoyment in really telling them about his excursions in various regions since he travels fairly often. ultimately, i think that he would probably try to get in their heads about their place in the war. I don't think that steven would be in the game to really BEAT Zemina and Bour down, but I do think that he'd be in the business of "nullifying" the war to some degree.. he'll just have extreme methods of doing so and that in turn could effect the overall development with the Twins. But let me know your thoughts, this is just my idea of how his relationship with them might develop ~ (: | |
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS “ Awe, she seems so conflicted! I love it. I really feel like Steven's iron will is the perfect addition to her young life. She's still growing and it's only natural that someone is there to give her guidance. It's a shame that her views are so skewed, but I'd most certainly be up for developing the promise Steven sees in her. I think their battle should be something that we sort of build up to over a series of threads. I really can't say when he would challenge Sapphire for the simple fact that I would let him feel it out.. I'd probably never tell you to be honest. xD It'd just happen, because I feel like the surprise of ita ll will be what's most important. But it'll definitely happen. I just think that going forward we should probably figure out where to exactly have them cross paths and how to kick off their development stemming from the past? Also, I really like the idea of her stance on Zemina. Her lack of passion and general outlook about the group and war would be something that he would definitely pick up on, and if anything try to manipulate to his ideals. Ultimately, he doesn't have an intention to cause harm to Zemina and Boure, but he does not respect them all the same. They remind him of gangs like Team Rocket and Team Magma/Aqua. His sole purpose is to preserve the world around them, and the fact that Sapphire's attention span can be easily swayed might appeal to him more and more depending on how frequently they cross paths. Do you have any idea on how they should run across one another again? | |
MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS ▶ @phoebe “ So old friends that need to be reacquainted? I like it. And you'd be right, Steven is exceptionally brooding. Probably not in the depressing way, but he will think a great deal about things and probably be in his thoughts a lot. It comes with the territory of having seen so much and having seen the world nearly become destroyed time and time again. So we know that they need to meet up again after years and years of not seeing each other.. are you absolutely certain you don't want to figure something out with her being in Kalos? I have tons of awesome ideas about how to work that in, but as you said.. there's no harm in waiting for ORAS. I don't think it's that major or that pivotal. I simply have Steven in Kalos doing some investigating for Mega Evolution and Mega Stones/Key Stones. Once he gains what he's come to search for her, then that will likely be when I have him return to the Hoenn region once again. But I'm definitely up for a little prelude adventure with them, who knows what'll happen with her standings in Zemina! So far, the only thing I have him set to do in the Kalos region is cutting off Zemina and Boure's access to the Pokeball Factory.. but I can work something else too besides that. (: | |

steven stone and sapphire. i get everything you're saying- i love spontaneous plots as well. this should be a lot of fun. and probably angst. lol. her loyalty is there, buried among her less...positive traits. she doesn't necessarily understand why she is loyal to zemina, but she is. steven seems like the perfect person to ease into that discussion, and when it comes he might actually have quite on effect on her- meaning it might be his chance to influence and talk to her in a serious manner about the state of the world in relation to her decisions. honestly i believe they could meet rather randomly and discuss/formally introduce themselves and chat. maybe they get each other's c-gear numbers and contact each other every once in a while, and we can figure out their net meeting from there? of course...the more interesting scenario is a (maybe drunk) sapphire in mauville gambling every last bit of her cash away, maybe speaking to him on the night after he helps to isolate her from the game center, and who knows, maybe she can stay with him for a few days while she gets on her feet again or finds a steady income.

“ Angst for the win most certainly. That's the best kind of plot development, having to have their dynamic come out of that. Sapphire seems really spunky, attributed to her age, so I think in relation to Steven her dynamic is good for him.. even if her thoughts are all skewed and crazy. So we most certainly know that he'll be talking to her and easing her into a different way of thinking hopefully, give her his view points on being Kopec since I imagine he will tell her his views and why he chose to side with Kopec over the other two groups. It'll be a real eye-opening conversation. Any chance he gets to influence her, he will.; To sort of go with the games, I was thinking that maybe we COULD go with your idea and have them have each others C-Gear numbers. I think if they were periodically touching basis with one another, that could be interesting.. especially with him being in the Kalos region at the moment. Then we can follow up with the gambling idea, because I like that idea as well and the fact that he would meander in and catch her being crazy pants with all of her money and being a drunk mess. It's perfect. I'm cool with her 'staying' with him too.. though it'd be more like she'd be traveling with him. I kind of envision that once he gets his Key Stone, he's going to travel more.. searching for more. So she'll be stuck with him in some capacity if she chooses to stay. But I don't think that'd necessarily be a bad idea.. her traveling with him.. I think it could be fun. What do you think? | |

steven stone i'm glad you like it! i'm all for this -- and, honestly, i think we can jump over that zemina/kopec hurdle once the twins become a little more settled in their loyalties, one way or another -- and i think it would actually be interesting to figure out how they interact now by perhaps having a thread with them in the past? back when they were both kids and steven kind of being the cool older brother/friend or something akin to that.

“ Lets make the past thread happen! I'm always thinking about the dynamic with Steven when he was reigning Champion, and I've even thought about having him challenge Wallace once we get one for championship of Hoenn at some point.. if only to usurp power from the League.. that and it'd go really well with his disposition in ORAS since he's Champion again in those games. But anyways, let me know if you'd like me to start it or if you'd like to? I saw that the twins have a Metagross.. so maybe he gives them pointers on how to properly train one for battle since his starter was a Beldum ~ Just a general idea. I'm sure in the midst of that training, he'd also tell them about some of his most recent adventures traveling ~ (: | |
