Description
I'm going to keep the old references up just for the sake of those designs having been used for the fanfiction “Rogue,” but this reference is the currently correct one. It will be used for... other things.Name - Cutlass
Nickname(s) – None
Species – Pawniard (Sharp Blade Pokemon)
Gender - Female
Age – 18
Level – 51
Nature – Hasty
Height – 1'8”
Weight – 20.2 lbs
Ability – Defiant
Moveset – Brick Break, Iron Head, Night Slash, X-Scissor
Personality – Very independent, adamant, and easily angered. Cutlass is prone to resorting to violence when insulted, and even more so when threatened. More generally, she lets her emotions get the better of her.
Going on her personality and behavior alone, anyone would probably guess her gender wrong. With no female influence in her life, she's one of those girls you would describe as “just like one of the guys.” There is still a teenage girl under all that armor somewhere, though she scarcely ever shows it, and usually only to Damascus.
Background/History – Read “Rogue.”
Habits – Mistreatment by her pack has led her with the subconscious belief that she has to prove herself as being anyone else's equal, and she goes well out of her way to do this. More often than not, she ends up being a bigger danger to herself than anything else because of this.
Body – A little less “developed” than most female Pawniard her age. She tends to keep her pupils rather narrow. She also purposefully shapes her blades to have no curves, save for the back of the “axe” on her helmet.
Relatives/Family – Daughter of Rapier, younger sister of Damascus
Trivia – Cutlass and Damascus are meant to be an allusion to prejudices and discrimination in past times in the real world, mainly sexism and racism (Cutlass is female; Damascus is a different color; both are mocked and shunned for it by the rest of their pack). Cutlass's resolve to gain strength due to underappreciation is very similar to Gem's. In her previous designs, Cutlass's helmet was removable.
Quotes Worth Reading: “Bloodstone's lucky he's so Arceusdamn HOT or else I'd slit his throat and cut him up into teeny tiny little pieces. Right after I castrate him.” (roleplay, non-canon)
"I'll have bragging rights for at least a week or two for being the first in the pack to kill a Zangoose." (Rogue ch 1)
"Even if I lose today... I would rather spend the rest of my life in solitude than go on living the way I do." (Rogue ch 3)
"Is the ground really pretty, or are you falling asleep?" (Rogue ch 5)
Sexual Description – No experience whatsoever. Though she kinda has a thing about hating males (except Damascus), she is still a teenage female with hormones, and with the recent addition of going into heat every autumn, well...
Name - Damascus
Nickname(s) – None
Species – Pawniard (Sharp Blade Pokemon)
Gender - Male
Age – 19
Level – 57
Nature – Careful
Height – 1'9”
Weight – 22.7 lbs
Ability – Inner Focus
Moveset – Stealth rock, Swords Dance, Iron Head, Night Slash
Personality – He is much less ambitious than his younger sister, and doesn't have any of the same temper issues she does, being more able to turn the other cheek and ignore negativity from others. However, he is by no means a pacifist, and will fight when threatened or crossed, and especially when defending Cutlass.
As he is closer to their father (the pack's leader, a Bisharp named Rapier) he has taken in much of his wisdom, patience, and leadership skills, making him seem mentally beyond his years. He often tries to subtly pass this on to Cutlass, though she seems to remain somewhat oblivious to it. He is somewhat prone to slight panic and overreacting over her.
Background/History – Read “Rogue.”
Habits – Damascus can't sleep without some kind of skin contact (growing up in somewhat crowded conditions and relying on the security of a pack your whole life can do that to you).
Body – A bit bulkier than Cutlass. He shapes his blades oddly on purpose. He is (obviously) a shiny, albeit with ice-blue eyes instead of yellow.
Relatives/Family – Son of Rapier, older brother of Cutlass
Trivia – Damascus wasn't originally going to be a major character in Cutlass's story (and to go back even further, I only created him along with her first design change), but I've changed it around some to include him more. A small part of the reason he's shiny because I always pictured him that way before I drew him.
Quotes Worth Reading: "Y'know, Cutlass, for hating him so much, you sure do value his opinion." (Rogue ch 1)
"I may not have the rank to give anyone orders yet, but the minute I do, this kind of shit had better stop. And Arceus help you all if anything should happen to me that puts her in charge, because I know damn well she won't even tolerate it." (Rogue ch 2)
Sexual Description - He really doesn't think about the subject much at all, but when he does end up out of his sheath, he has a hard time ignoring it. He is entirely inexperienced, but understands the technical side of reproduction, and would know what to do if the time ever came.

They never met their mother, but she's a Bisharp from another pack.

I was going to say you should read the fanfic with them in it, but... now I'm not sure you'd even like it. It's not a cute story at all XD

I figured as much, they look like quite the badasses. xD
I just refer to almost everything I like as being cute. If ya knew me in real life, you'd understand. xD
If ya send me the link to the fanfic, I'd love to read it!

Er, okay... But I think you should be warned: Not all of it is on dA, and I can almost guarantee you you're not gonna like where it's going starting in chapter 2 or 3.

All of that was epic beyond words. O_O
I'll admit, it got a little awkward, (I read all the way to chapter 6. xD)
but overall, I still love the way you portrayed the two of them. Nice work!
Badass little pawniards indeed.

I never even began to think about putting so much personality into a Pokemon (Of course, I don't write from their perspective as you do)
But to go as far as to describe how they shape their blades and sleeping habits and the like....they almost seem HUMAN.....

Well, sure. Pokemon have been depicted as intelligent beings with their own personalities plenty of times, some even more so than humans. Hell, even the game mechanics of the main series have some of that. Do I even need to mention PMD? It's not like I'm the first to do it X3
