The Phox's Den

Professor Alopex Irongall

Species: Fennaixelphox (FENNekin + brAIXEn + deLPHOX)
Font: Noto Serif
Text color: #C13424
Typing quirk: Replaces most instances of the letter “f” with “ph”. Speaks in an excessively verbose manner, utilizing sesquipedalian verbiage and complex grammatical constructions that may seem opaque to laypeople.

Alopex wasn’t always a professor. In fact, it was originally just a nickname for him, given by his friends to poke fun at the way he tended to ramble like a professor giving a lecture. However, it also inspired him to actually pursue education as a career.
His favorite subject personally is math, but his favorite to actually teach is history, and for good reason: he’s a time traveler! The reason for his unusual mix of features is due to the effects of his time travel on his evolutionary clock. He has the head of a Fennekin, the tail of a Braixen and the body of a Delphox.
His fur is very soft, to the point where it feels almost like silk.
He has impeccable handwriting, but also has a bad habit of accidentally setting the paper on fire when he tries to write. He tends to favor writing in sitelen pona glyphs, rather than the Latin alphabet.
His eyes glow in the dark, but he’s nearsighted, to the point where without his glasses, he can’t read text unless it’s about elbow-length away.
He cannot willingly remove the pendant he wears, ever. Due to a grievous injury he sustained in his future, his soul is housed within the pendant. He can possess others if they were to remove the pendant and put it on, although his own body would be left in a vegetative state due to lacking a soul. The pendant itself resembles a serpentine dragon, with ruby-red eyes.
Typically for his species, he has both fire-breathing abilities and psychic powers, such as hypnosis. He’s also able to project a jet of flame from his wand to use it similarly to a lightsaber.
A bit prone to falling for bad influences, although he might just be playing along. Life’s too short to not get into a little trouble once in a while!
He has a sweet tooth, and his favorite food is Boston creme donuts.
Probably sounds like the Eleventh Doctor.

Gelphox

Species: Gelphox (Goodra + Delphox)
Font: Comic Sans
Text color: #BA9DE1
Typing quirk: Lots and LOTS of slime puns. He’s problobby gooing to do this to an even bigger extent than Kasi.

Gelphox’s origins are shrouded in mystery. Everyone who’s asked about them has gotten a different answer, and all of them contradict each other in slight, subtle, almost intentionally chosen ways.
His main catchphrases include “Jello there”, “Gel yeah”, “Absorblutely” and “Problobby”, among others.
He’s a gentle giant who doesn’t like to fight, but if he does fight, his “weapon” of choice is a shield, which he holds in the coil of his tail.
Unlike most Goodras, who are otherwise solid, save for a layer of slime on their skin, Gelphox’s Goodra half is fully goo, and is slightly translucent. Additionally, they’re able to turn their Delphox half into that same goo, as well as melting their legs down into a pseudopod.
His slime is very sticky, to the point where he’s able to glue himself to the ceiling and hang upside down like a bat.
They have a huge appetite, likely because they’re in a perpetual state of having the munchies from all the weed they smoke. Also, they’re able to inhale objects (similar to Kirby).
Lives in a cottage on a beach, but likes to sleep outside in a hammock so he can watch the sunset.
While all of the Phox Gang can address the audience to answer questions, Gelphox is one of only two of them, the other being Flux, who explicitly knows that they are fictional.

Cirrus Borealis

Species: Hisuian Zorua
Font: Courier New
Text color: #3DD2FF
Typing quirk: aaall loooweeercaaase, draaaws ooout theeeir voooweeels fooor aaa looong tiiime.

Became a ghost in a freak tax-filing accident. They kinda just decided to roll with it from there. They chose their name because they’re wispy and white like a cloud.
Powers are primarily your typical “ghosty” ones: weightlessness, invisibility, passing through walls, manipulating souls, casting illusions.
Has a mouth, but it’s usually covered by their “scarf”. Whether or not they have legs is another question entirely, one that not even Cirrus themself knows the answer to.
Kind, but timid, personality. Sometimes they like to haunt people, but it’s not common.
Becomes more powerful on Halloween, but has trouble controlling this new power.
Has a bit of a bad-luck streak, unfortunate events seeming to follow them often. Has died at least 4 times since becoming a ghost (don’t worry, they got better).
Enjoys playing the piano and snowball fighting, and loves drinking a brand of soda called “F”. Also enjoys playing Pac-Man, but it gives them nightmares because of Pac-Man’s appetite for ghosts.
Has a Unovan Zorua plush that they possess like a suit. In this form, they’re often seen wielding a giant needle, and can cast curses by stabbing themself with it like a voodoo doll.

Kasi Linja and Akesi Linja

Species: Two ends of the same Serperior/Delphox hybrid
Font: Minecraft
Text color(s): #189C4A for Kasi, #FF4E00 for Akesi, #9CD59C for both of them
Typing quirk: Kasi - Makes plant puns, and wraps words in ~vines~ for emphasis. Akesi - Hisssssesss all of hisss S’sss and consssonantsss that sssound sssimilar, sssincssse he’sss a sssnake.

They’re never both asleep at the same time. Kasi is diurnal, and Akesi is nocturnal. They sleep in shifts, and use a pillow strapped to a skateboard as a “bed” to prevent them from dragging each other around.
They use their Grass-type powers to grow various fruits and vegetables, which they sell at their produce stand, “Linja Bros.’ Premium Produce”.
Asking how their excretory system works is a one-way ticket to getting slapped, shunned or worse.
So is mispronouncing Akesi’s name. (It’s pronounced “AH-ke-si.”)
Their dynamic with each other is somewhat of a “Zak and Wheezie” dynamic - Kasi is the Wheezie and Akesi is the Zak.
They share a single caduceus, which is topped with an apple.
Kasi is able to photosynthesize with the leaves on his ears and belly.
Kasi’s specialties are healing magic, as well as magic to make plants grow.
Akesi, on the other hand, is a vampire, and specializes in damaging magic, as well as life-draining magic that he uses on others.
Akesi is somehow three days older than Kasi. Neither of them are sure how that’s physically possible.

Had a Geocities, has a Neocities, both are/were plastered with the most retina-destroyingly bright colors you’ve ever seen.
Might have trouble seeing colors that aren’t red?
Has a were-sparkledog form under the light of the full moon. When in this form, her crystals flash like strobe lights, and will sync up to the beat of any music she hears. She also has a tendency to smash windows when she’s in this state.
Cringe culture is dead and she personally caved its skull in
Has a younger sister, a Fennekin named Amber, and a younger brother, a Rockruff named Sid (short for “Obsidian”). Topaz acts noticeably more cautious around them because she doesn’t know how she’d live with herself if she accidentally harmed them.
Her crystal staff has the ability to show people’s memories and pull objects out of them, but she mostly just uses it to bludgeon people
Can Terastallize into a Fighting type.
Has a bitter rivalry with Akesi due to her being a werewolf and his being a vampire. Kasi often has to break them up before things get physical.

Clarion Capriccio

Species: Primazel (Primarina + Floatzel)
Font: Berlin Sans FB Bold
Text color: #FEDF41
Typing quirk: Replaces instances of the word “be” and words that contain it or similar-sounding syllables with “bui”.

The team mom of the Phox Gang. Will guard you with her life
Can shapeshift into a pooltoy at will
If she falls asleep in her pooltoy form she’ll start to deflate, but will reinflate when she wakes up
Can shape her bubbles into letters as well as various symbols. Uses this for special effects during concerts. She can also use her bubbles to envelop others and herself.
Is in a band with Cirrus, called Sea Squared (she sings, they play piano)
Sea Squared’s music is the kind of music you’d listen to on a cold, rainy day, looking out the window, with a hot cup of tea in your hand. Sometimes she even uses her Water type powers to make it rain for real
If she slaps you, it’ll hurt for weeks because of her huge flippers. She also uses them to play ping-pong
Can project her reflection out of any pool of water to use it as a portal
Her tail-flippers still spin when she swims, just like a regular Floatzel’s tails

Flux.fbx

Species: Luxpharos (Luxray + Ampharos), computer program
Font: Atkinson Hyperlegible
Text color: #3E3A39
Typing quirk: Puts @ before names. (e.g. it would say “@Alopex”)

First name “Flux”, last name “.fbx”. Despite this, Flux is a .jar file.
Lives in cyberspace, and can travel from computer to computer. Its “true body” lives on the computer of the one who programmed it, though. Its homepage is fluxhome.net, but it has a vacation homepage in scenic 127.0.0.1
Can project themself out of any computer they’re on to create a physical form in the real world
Has the power to manipulate magnetism when it’s in the real world
Kind of a prankster, playing little jokes and hacks on their host’s PC. Unfortunately, it’s become kind of a Public Enemy Number One among antiviruses because of this.
Loves eating cookies, both literal ones and internet ones
Appears like a shimeji on your computer, wandering around on your desktop
Will probably chase your mouse pointer around like a cat chasing a laser dot
Its belly acts like a wireless charging pad if a phone is placed on it
“You wouldn’t download a Luxpharos”... maybe not, but would it download you?

Emeritus Poleax Oilgnarl

Species: Zorokit (Unovan Zorua + Nickit)
Font: Old English Text MT (or similar)
Text color: #B4153A
Typing quirk: Does not concern himself with such foolishness. Not when there’s vengeance to be had.

Was once a student of Alopex’s, until a field trip gone wrong sent Poleax hurtling across time and space. Unbeknownst to both of them, Poleax had an unfortunate condition where traveling through time would send him to a completely different time period instead.
Lost his right eye in a scuffle while committing Time Crimes™
His legs and tail aren’t normally red like that; that’s a permanent blood stain. (Don’t worry, it’s not his blood.)
If Alopex is an expy of the Doctor, then Poleax is an expy of the Master.
The axe is named Soulrender, and it's the reason he became evil. When he crash-landed, he found the axe and it filled his mind with hateful thoughts, thoughts that Alopex had left him for dead. It also has the ability to sever its victim’s connection to time itself. If he kills you with it, not only are you dead, but you will have never existed to begin with.
His wristwatch is a time machine, cobbled together by Poleax himself using time technology he learned from Alopex. It also serves as a stabilizer for his time travel.
Over the course of his journey back to the present day, Poleax got stronger, to the point where even a 10 on 1 fight would still be slightly in his favor.

Nirvana Samsara

Species: Hisuian Typhlosion/Dragonite
Font: Papyrus
Text color: #C33DD8
Typing quirk: Mute. Speaks by projecting his voice out of the mouths of other people nearby.

Despite being a fusion of a Fire/Ghost type and a Dragon/Flying type, Nirvana is a Psychic type.
Is a fortune-teller. His predictions are almost always spot-on, but rumor has it that he pays people off to ensure that his prophecies always come to pass.
Is the Pokemon personification of that one Dril tweet about buying too many candles.
Also likes sakura trees and has several of them planted around their fortune-telling tent.
Her flames are cold to the touch. Not like, room temperature, “you won’t get burned” cold, but actually cold, to the point it feels like you’re getting sprayed with cold mist instead of fire.
Has a “mental EMP field” surrounding them, thanks to their psychic powers. Prolonged proximity produces peculiar psychological performances and practices.
No one knows why he only has one wing; the other one just never grew in when he evolved.
Traded her voice for her psychic powers.
Started out as a Dragonite and became a hybrid when he gained his powers.

Cotton Skydye

Species: Angelic Dragonite-taur
Font: Hobo
Text color: E94DAA
Typing quirk: Often uses weather-related figures of speech.

Kind of a ditz; she’ll be the first to tell you she has her head in the clouds.
She’s an archer and she can hit a soda can from two zip-codes over
When she’s in her plush form, her arrows turn into needles and anyone who gets shot by one of them becomes a plush too
Can change colors like a chameleon
Can turn into a marketable plushie
Has a pouch like the dragons from Dragon Tales (when she turns into a plush, the pouch has a visible zipper)
Can control the weather with her emotions; when she’s happy, it’s clear and sunny, when she’s sad, it starts to rain, when she’s angry a storm starts to brew, and when she’s afraid, a thick fog starts to set in.
When she sheds her scales, they can be ground up to produce an intensely bright pink pigment
Descended from the heavens to fulfill some divine purpose (she forgor 💀)
When she flies she has to flap her wings really fast like a hummingbird
When she’s not a plushie, strong winds will cause her body to break apart into clouds temporarily
Her plush feels different based on the kind of person you are: if you are a virtuous person with a pure soul, she feels soft, more so than any earthly fabric, but if you have a heart tainted with hate, she feels prickly and itchy and scratchy, like fiberglass insulation
Serves as a courier to carry prayers from earth up to heaven, and divine revelations from heaven down to earth. Or just to send a letter.
