Description

Wiki page


Bandits are a common sight in the areas surrounding Tabira, targeting unlucky travelers. The Trackers Guild usually deals with them, but, as more trade route open up, bandit attacks are becoming more frequent. On some occassions, captive bandits have been "converted" to working for the Guilds of Tabira.

This trio is particularly notorious in various ways.


Xavier

Ability: Magician
Moves: Fire Pledge, Magic Room, Flame Charge, Shock Wave

This somewhat posh Braixen doesn't consider himself a bandit, though he still has the thieving tendencies of one. He likes to challenge passerbys to a "duel of honor", creating an arena with Magic Room to make things fair. Or that's what he says; really, Xavier just makes the environment favorable to himself to more easily pilfer his opponent's belongings.


Sloan

Ability: Anger Point
Moves: Night Slash, Smack Down, Close Combat, Final Gambit

A straight-forward Primeape, Sloan will use brute force to get what he wants. And what he wants is your loot! He'll boldly assault his victims with the claw-like metal weapons he wears as gloves.


Nadine

Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Toxic Spikes, Poison Jab, Water Pulse, Mimic

Nadine is a calculating Nidorina. Unlike many of her fellow bandits, she takes the time to observe her target from the shadows, and will only strike if she's absolutely sure they possess an item she desires. With quick, poison strikes and the ability to mimic her opponent's moves, Nadine is considered extremely dangerous.

would Nadine attack a mon. if she did'nt know if they had anything of value if she noticed an easy opening in there defences under the justification that there cosing to much trouble for the bandits (like take out 4 guys without breaking a sweat type of thing) [what I'm thinking would probobly be tied into the M6 attack]

I don't believe i've ever mentioned this, but I love your art style.^^ You're capable of making each species unique the the character that's written, hopefully that's something I'll be capable of doing in the future when i learn more about drawing. Hopefully...

I've got a question regarding Xavier. It's not needed to initiate a 'duel of honour' with him to accomplish the mission, right? After Vander warns the teams, it seems like that's something that could be easily avoided. By, say for example, keeping him on his toes? I guess I might be overthinking this, but I just kinda feel like his tricks wouldn't work too well. I just think if you beat him into submission without agreeing to his terms, he'll leave and never come back. Not if he wants a second helping anyway.

This is just how I feel about the situation anyway, please let me know if it's supposed to go differently.

Browsing through comments, sorry this response is so late.

Yeah, I imagine you could fight him without agreeing to his terms... but that would result in him calling you a craven coward, I imagine. That said, it's an equally valid way to complete the prompt!

Well, it's a good thing Briaxen's aren't particularly sturdy. A good few physical attacks and he'd go down faster then a Shedinja against a super effective type move!

I've kinda already written the task and completed it, but thank you none the less. At least I have new insight as to how Xavier thinks should he ever reappear in the future.
I'll ask again if I have questions about any other task, so thai you again for your time!

We're going to get the chance to beat all of these guys senseless, right?

No. They're already senseless.
Super late comment. I know.

Just a quick question about the task ahead: I'm currently working on the script for my team's upcoming first chapter, but I'm having difficulty with Xavier's dialogue. Does he have a specific dialect or is it up to our interpretation? If he does have a specific why of speaking, an example or a reference of some sort would be much appreciated.

Hm. I'd say it's up to interpretation, didn't have anything specific in mind. I'm trying to think of a character to use as a frame of reference. Maybe like a younger Sir Didymus? www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUYib7…

I could see him as either guy in this scene from Princess Bride: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC6dgt…

I can see these references working nicely for Xavier's character. I think I have a better grasp on what I'm going to be writing for his dialogue now. Thanks for the help!

You know, looking at your art is like staring at the display window of a candy store. The colors overall and the cartoony way you draw them in just looks gorgeous! I'm such a huge fan of your style OwO

Xavier is my favorite ;u;.
Sounds like a character I'd love to meet in real life.
Well...Not really, he'd probably annoy me. -Sigh-
Oh well, still amazing x'3
