Glitchpon Lore Below (hakkyo Ogrepon)

glitchpon lore below (hakkyo ogrepon)

You arrive at the Kitakami Mask Festival, ready to have a good time with your family and friends before you spot what seems to be a lost child wandering around. You approach the child but notice something is off about it. Its clothing seems to be shifting from green, blue, orange, gray, and other various colors. It holds a mask that shifts through its colors mechanically over and over again. You call out to the child and it turns to face you in the blink of an eye. Suddenly, this paralyzing feeling attacks you, and you feel like every single aspect of you is being looked at and scrutinized at every angle. You feel cold and dizzy from its gaze, and you can't help but look at its eyes. Only one is pitch black, and the other seems to be in the shape of a star, but around it is distorted, its body hazy and unclear, the shadows not hitting it quite right. Suddenly, that agonizing feeling washes out, and it speaks in a cold, dead, robotic voice:

{{GENERATING RESPONSE}}

[you_are_not_diane]

The child leaves as if you never existed, continuing to search for this mysterious "Diane" until the cold death of the virtual universe.

What is Glitchpon?

Glitchpon is part of the Hakkyo!AU created by me, although an explanation for that debacle will be done another time.

Glitchpon was the Ogrepon that was SUPPOSED to be caught by Diane, but wasn't due to Kieran altering the events of the story and causing Ogrepon to never even be encountered. However, since Ogrepon is programmed to be caught by the player, they hop from game to game hoping to find Diane someday. Unfortunately, Diane died trying to save Kieran, so Glitchpon can never find Diane because her account will never be logged back on. The closest thing that Glitchpon will have to Diane is, ironically, Kieran. The same Kieran that caused her to become incomplete. If she ever does find Kieran, all that repressed battle data will come to the surface and she will likely end up killing Kieran (or anyone with a slightly similar trainer ID to Diane). So she wanders alone, a husk of what she should have been.
