THE POWER OF NEW TECHNOLOGY

    1. Elysia Tess, Ace Trainer/Electric Ace/Special Attack Ace/Spark Master. That seems about right. While what I'm trying to accomplish isn't quite so...barbaric, in a battle, one party has to fall. Preferably, they should fall before they're too close, where they then stay by paralyzing them, and then some. Ed was certainly right about the dangerous applications it can have with direct contact...that said, you know how electricity became widespread? That was me.


    2. My home...was comfortable. It was there that I learned that I could shoot lightning from my fingertips, something that would prove to be useful to the EGGs, after all. My parents were religious sorts, though my mother was a brilliant person, and I imagine it was from her that I inherited my own brilliance, and more, besides. Aside from that, though, there is not much to say about my home life other than my vigorous studying. I imagine my mother and father must have bragged about me, which must have gotten the attention of the EGGs, if not for my abilities, for my brilliance. Despite my home life being comfy, though, I would rather not return. As comfy as it was, a visit back home would make it hard to work. Catch up on this, and that, in a place away from my lab. Too bothersome.


    3. The opportunity to bring my inventions to the world. There have been many, and most have been lost. While I made electricity widespread, plans to make it more easily accessible have gotten...harder. The key factor in most was the greed of others. How does one SELL electricity, they ask. They're not concerned for the greater good, just lining their wallets with more money. One could say my naivete is something that I miss, but it's mostly the chances I had for making the world be a better place with my work constantly set back by these...businessmen. Thankfully, all hasn't been lost, as I've had some successes to go with my myriad of failures, but...


    4. Zapdos, who represents Innovation, in the future tense. Articuno symbolizes the innovation of the beginning, that which brought mankind on its feet, helping it survive the cold beginnings. Surely, this isn't a thing to take lightly, as without the beginning, we could not have anything. Then, we have Moltres, who symbolizes the innovation of the present. Things today mostly run with steam power, and even disregarding that, fire has been used for an awful lot of things. Burning, cooking, you name it. However, Zapdos is the future, as is electricity.

I could see it in the distance watching me, sometimes. When I first saw it, it was...while terrifying, certainly a magnificent thing. It's kept an eye on me for a long while. It must have seen me create all kinds of things, most things that never came about for a number of reasons. In particular, a lot of it was a result of Ed's tampering. Ed had put a lot of effort and resources into steam powered things, and for a time, I worked with him...until I fully realized the potential electricity had...and after he promised me some needed money for improving his work (was it even his work?), which he did not make good on. 'It was a joke', he said. It wasn't a joke, Ed. It was a lie. Our feud continues to this day, and it is very, very bitter.

However, I managed to do it. Despite all of Ed's campaigns against it (electricity can kill things, who'd have thought, you monster), I managed to get it used all over the place. Ed's still trying to salvage what he can from the whole mess (that is, take some bits and pieces of what's mine, like as much of the credit as he could possibly muster), but what's clear is that I've managed to get it going. A normal person ought be satisfied, but I wasn't. It was when I went to figure out how to improve my own system is when Zapdos descended. While I've heard that many go through trials presented by Pact Beasts of great power, it simply posed me with a question, one that had an obvious answer. Was I going to continue what I was doing, the creation of new inventions and such, whether or not the world was ready for it? When I said yes, it explained that as long as I was doing just that, it would listen to me. That was our pact, and it remains kept to this day. In fact, I've impressed it by amplifying its own electrical output, so we're somewhat close. It's still rather terrifying, though. I had not even dreamed such power output was possible!


    5. Ed. I...dislike him. In many ways. I have no idea how he got away with anything, but he got away with everything. Probably because he's a businessman posing as an inventor (of things that I improved on ages ago, things that won't see the light of day anytime soon because of those damned patents). ...As a result, I tend to not be fond of businessmen in general, but if I'm to get my inventions anywhere in the future, I'll have to deal with them, and I've accepted that. As for things that aren't people...the cold is particularly uncomfortable, so I dress warmly most of the time. Being without my glasses is a bother too. Not that it would stop me from, say, recognizing things clearly recognizable from a distance, but I don't like the blurriness, and so avoid it when I can help it. As for things that are satisfying...just let me think. No, not of something, just leave me in my room to experiment. That is sufficient. If it was not clear, I like to create things, and improve on them, notably things involving the up and coming electricity, an energy source of much promise. As for hobbies...aside from my work (besides that which EGGs has me do) and working on the effectiveness of my Pact Beasts' electricity...I do feed birds from time to time, but that's about it. They're often scared away by the electricity though. It's a shame.


    6. My first Pact Beast was a Mareep, a clearly young Pact Beast, the offspring of one of my father's Pact Beasts. A bright little thing, that only wanted to be able to do neat things with me. A simplistic want from such a young Pact Beast, and I can say that I most certainly fulfill that desire, as rough as it gets sometimes.


    7. Is it not obvious? Make more things. Improve on them. Perhaps the secrets of the ruins might enlighten or inspire me, but even if it's not the case, it's nice to have some solid work that relies on my expertise, as opposed to digging holes. Never again. As for destiny...people get to where they are through hard work, connections, many things. Things work in the background, for or against you. I don't believe in invisible guiding hands, I believe in visible ones. Destiny is not an omnipotent, invisible force, and thus, it can be changed.


    8. AND HERE'S SHUKU with a YOUTUBE LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKFILzrGdHY . I'm not quite as good with the fitting characters to music thing as other people seem to be, but let me tell you, science is a specific flavor of laid back kind of intense.


    9. I expect it to mutate into a multishot, the input I would like to give on the setting will probably be mentioned in IRC as I go, and Ed is totally Not-Edison. He's kind of an asshole. Even if I don't end up in the game (which would make the EGGs not seem completely as desperate, as to send THIS BRILLIANT MIND to her possible doom), I'm happy to have made it here, at least!
