aka the "Air Adventurers' Corps" (Alpine Union)EmolgaMotor Drive-- useful for protecting against electrical discharges from machines, and from lightning while flying in electrical stormsof the MSV Linke Pfote , Fighter Pilot, Rocket Scientist,(Paratrooper)ModestVery serious, somewhat stonefaced, but very passionate and a little maniacal when the moment takes him. Heivel is suffering badly from a broken heart, and it shows on his face. He rarely smiles-- not to say he never does, but even when he does, there is an underlying sadness to it. To his character as a whole, in fact. He's rather defensive when it comes to a lot of things.Guns, Flying, Art, Finer ThingsPiracy, Being reminded of his former love, discrimination, being reminded of his former love, anyone that dislikes the Union or the Empire, having his competency questioned, being reminded of his old relationshipHeivel is a sneaky character, in a few words. He likes to rely on his guns for most of his fighting, and is equally comfortable fighting either in the air or on the ground. He often uses his flight to reach advantageous positions from which to harass opponents with his firearms, and likes to flit out of sight. He strikes from hidden positions when he can.An old-fashioned, heavily outdated, but supremely powerful single-action revolver that was once issued to the lower-ranking officers of the former Great Alpine Empire for field duty. This rough, heavy revolver design is cheaply made, but its six capacitors in the cylinder can hold Move-based charges so powerful that it can rival rifles at close ranges. By the time of the Great Airship War it was being replaced by self-loading pistols, but some stubborn older officers decided to stick with these reliable pieces.-Heivel's Alpinrevolver is always on his person, usually on his hip underneath his patagium.-Powered by his Kurz-Gewehr Imperial Officer's Carbine - A carbine version of thebolt action battle rifle often issued to field officers of the Alpine Union, and formerly the Great Alpine Empire. This carbine is a cut-down version of a full-sized combat rifle often issued toand other manners of infantry from the War. It was issued primarily to airship crews to provide crewmon a capacity of self-defense in case they were boarded by enemy soldiers. Later in the War it became popular among normal infantry as well for its maneuverability in small spaces. This one has been modified to be fired left-pawed.Thishas a detachable bayonet, which allows it to act as his melee weapon as well.-Heivel'sis powered by his. He often takes it on missions where he actively expects conflict, usually falling back on his revolver for everyday self-defense. Imperial Sword Bayonet - A long bayonet made for attachment to a rifle, but also equipped with a handle so as to be able to be used as a short sword on its own. It is unpowered, however Heivel likes electrifying the blade by running Thunder Wave along it.- Heivel's main Move for powering his weapons. Heivel creates a sphere of highly electrified plasmatic energy, which he hurls at his target at supersonic speeds. Powers his Carbine.- Heivel modifies the air around him to his will, allowing him to perform astounding feats of aerobatic flight. Usually used for dodging and flitting about in the air. Provides half the power for the airship's systems, which gives the normally-unmaneuverablea bit more litheness in its flight.- Heivel releases a controlled shock into the air around him. Useful for escaping when he's surrounded, or for powering small machines around the ship.- Heivel creates a nigh-impenetrable, opaque shield of plasmatic energy. For on-the-fly protection in case his plans go awry. The rather 'blunt' nature of the Normal-type also makes it useful for powering weapons when he finds enemies resistant to his Electrical attacks. Powers his revolver.Heivel's life up to a certain point was defined by the love he had for his sweetheart. Before he met her he was an unproductive and lazy youth. Afterwards, he was spurned onwards towards into the future by the promise of a long and happy life with her. No longer were his eyes closed and ignorant as he wrapped himself in his leisurely artistic ventures. With her by his side, he was able to see the beauty in the world and grew a spirit which wished to reach out and explore it all. His life from here was idyllic. He lived in a beautiful mountain village that had largely been spared the horrors of the Great War, he had a beautiful and loving girl that he would one day marry, and to secure his future with her he would use his talent for working with machines as a career. Things couldn't be happier.One day, however Heivel's love left him. Suddenly, he fell into a deep, deep despair. The whole world lost its color. Nothing was beautiful anymore. All he could think about when he thought about all the beautiful things in life was her, whom showed it all to him. He could no longer enjoy the mountains and their glorious vistas over the gentle valleys, he could no longer enjoy writing in his private room where he had spent so much time with her, and his work at the machine shop that she introduced him to faltered. He had too many memories, everywhere. He could barely stand to even stay in his hometown anymore. How could he enjoy any of it if it all only tormented his broken heart?Looking for a way away from his pain Heivel almost fell back into his old life of lazy, unproductive sloth, only now enforced with his depression. His parents prompted him to join the military, but he refused and just drowned himself deeper in his loneliness. It seemed like he would be like this forever, until one fateful day.One day on the few times that Heivel left the darkness of his privacy, he came across a Pokemon that was a bit of a local hero. This Pokemon was Vizeadmiral Hansel Konzigburg the Alakazam, the terror of pirates and an old veteran of the Great Airship War that was bringing his personal airship to port in town. Heivel had accidentally broken thefavorite weapon that had been with him since the beginning of the War. At first he was enraged at the sad-looking young 'mon for destroying something so important to him-- that is, until Heivel fixed it. Not only did he fix it, he corrected problems with it that his own crew could not figure out. From there, Konzigburg took a shine to the Emolga, and surprised his family greatly when he suddenly gave them a visit asking to take him under his wing. His family was elated. Heivel was cautiously optimistic. Maybe this was a way forward that he knew he needed.Things would not go quite as expected, however. Admiral Konzigburg was somewhat of a hermit and a far cry from the medal-wearing, charismatic war hero the public perceived him as. Within the walls of his black-painted airship whirred all strange manners of strange machines, made from all sorts of dangerous and even illegal components many of which were banned after the War. This was why pirates of the Old Continent feared him so. It was not bravado nor nobility, it was dark science. No wonder he was looking for a mechanically-gifted assistant instead of a pilot. Konzigburg had become some sort of mad scientist.He was a secretive and brooding one, at that. Konzigburg lost his whole family in the War, including his wife. In a way it was something that he shared with Heivel. He wove tales of pain and loss, and hammered in the depression that Heivel was already feeling. But, he had learned to use it productively. He used his pain to fuel his desire to build and create-- stronger, deadlier,weapons. He passed some secrets-- though not all of them-- down to Heivel, whom followed a similar way of dealing with his pain; harnessing it rather than letting it destroy him. Heivel however was too respectful of the law, or rather fearful of breaking it, and was eventually released from the Admiral's services.Heivel still had too much pain in his heart to return to his home. His years with the Admiral made sure of that. He would need to continue on his adventures. His past was now too shady for him to join theproperly... but the Admiral had put in a good word for him at the, or the "Air Adventurers' Corps", essentially the official Explorers' Guild of the Union tasked with adventuring to generate revenue for the government. Heivel took with him the forbidden knowledge imparted to him by the Admiral, received officer and experimental paratrooper training at a Stormtrooper school, was posted on an old Great Airship War-era airship, and sent on his way.-Heivel is, a trait that he shares with his best friend Korbin and crewmate Ynes. Hence the name of the crew's ship, which translates to the "Left Paw"-Speaks with a rather heavy accent-Considers himself something of a formal military officer-Has a very mad scientist-y side, which he will usually try his best to hide in the above demeanor-His specialization is actually in rocketry and ballistics, so, his actual "mad science" can be somewhat muted-His broken heart is very vulnerable to 'feminine wiles'
