Hey guys, it’s me again after a little bit. Still busy. I wanted to take the time to talk about a concept I had for a TTRPG campaign that didn’t happen.
A friend was setting up a DnD 5E game with a homebrew Pokémon extension. Basically, it was kinda like Hisui but more medieval than anything, and people fought alongside Pokémon with weapons and powers (something that normally I wouldn’t really find interesting if it weren’t specifically DnD). The character I had planned for that was a kid called Takamaru.
Takamaru was raised by the “gym leader” of one of the cities, basically a warlord that led a whole town. Essentially, he was raised by a kimono girl on steroids who refused to recognise him as a son publicly. His dad was out of the picture. Takamaru’s only friend would be an Eevee called Mizuto, and guess what type it would evolve to from the name alone. He was gonna be like a water monk of sorts, a water bender who fought side by side with his partner. Eventually he’d have to fight his mom head-on and make her accept him as a son.
That campaign didn’t get to happen in the end, but it would’ve been really cool. My friend also had this idea where eventually Mizuto would die, and a previously obtained Ho-oh feather would resurrect and transform it into some kind of Vaporeon/Suicune hybrid.
I still have to make a few edits (and artwork) to Dragon Whisperer chapter 1, but I kinda want to do something with this other guy eventually. Main problem is: too similar to Koa. Determined kid with a deep bond with a partner, a type specialist, and he also has some kind of parental drama. I also came up with a Fire specialist flamenco dancer some time ago and I never even got to draw her. Maybe I could do that first
