This is Blight, my Pokemon OC. Sorry if my drawing’s terrible, I’m not good at coloring and I didn’t wanna risk ruining the sketch. In usual Pokemon RPs, Blight is part of a Pokemon party owned by one of my OC Pokemon Trainers. However, in Pokemon of the Hidden Spirits, where humans don’t exist, he has a slightly different backstory. Blight was born from a group of wild Litwicks, who roamed around the land to leech off the souls of humans or Pokemon wandering around. Blight, however, was abandoned by the group when it was a young Litwick, seen as a liability to the group due to his weak control over his abilities at the time. Left to die in the wild, Blight was lonely and struggling to find sustenance to fuel his fire and survive, having never learned how to lure in wanderers to absorb their life force. At some point, it encountered another traveling young Pokemon by chance, and the abandoned Litwick instinctively tried to absorb some of the creature’s lifeforce. Not enough to kill the victim, but definitely enough to weaken and make the creature terrified for its life. Blight was confused by what he had done, but didn’t have a chance to interact more with the other Pokemon as he was immediately chased off by the creature’s evolved parent. When Blight got away, he reflected on the odd scenario that had happened earlier and eventually came to the conclusion that it had hurt the young Pokemon. Unsettled at the realization of what he can do, the Litwick turned to look for different methods, not wanting to do something like that again. Eventually, Blight spotted other Pokemon eating the simple berries and fruits of the forest. Blight decided to experiment and found out that it could consume normal food rather than spirits to fuel its fire. While it was not as nourishing or fulfilling as the traditional diets of other Litwicks, it helped Blight survive, and slowly his body began to adapt to the new diet. Of course, Blight was still alone. Desiring connection and attention, he began to wander around to look for others to interact with. Among his interactions, he found a great interest in surprising or pranking people. His species’s instinicts, originally meant to prey and consume upon souls, are now used as tactics to scare and harmlessly troll/inconvenience other people. Eventually, Blight evolved into a Lampent. Not really to become stronger, exactly, but simply to get even more freedom and movement options. Now he can grab objects with longer arms and fly away faster when someone chased him. Personality: Blight is a bit of a rascal. He is extremely mischievous and loves pranks. He’ll fall down from trees to jumpscare people, temporarily steal someone’s belongings and make them chase him to get them back, hover ominously in the darkness with it’s bright candle flame to creep out people, and so on. Of course, a light doesn’t actually intend to hurt or bring harm to anyone. He’s just extremely childish and immature. However, while Blight loves trying to scare people, he’s also an absolute coward when the surprise is on him, and will fly away shrieking in fear. Blight is brave when it matters, though, and becomes more serious when there are greater stakes. Maroon Mimikyu
