Chapter 3: Caster



Class Caster

Alternate Classes: Rider

True Name: Adaman

Alias: Priest of Endless Time, Divine Representative of the Ruler of Time, Head of the Diamond Clan

Alignment: Lawful Good

Attribute: Sky

Origin: Pokemon Legends: Arceus

Armament: Adamant Globe, Pokemon

History: From when he was a simple boy within the Diamond Clan, Adaman wondered at the majesty of time. The Past, the Present, and the Future. A gift from Almighty Sinnoh that would allow them to change the world, to change themselves, and to experience more than could be imagined. For while all resides within space, it is by time in which new things are given form. With this reverence, and his adamant nature and sharp mind, before long he became the leader of the Diamond Clan. From this position, he did what he could to make peace with the Pearl Clan who revered Space, but even he could not overcome the difference of views so easily.

For one such as him, who took in every moment and acted how he thought best, who despite seeing the value is change always was cautious and calm in his action, could not comprehend the thought of getting lost within this world. Of freely moving through this world without careful thought. Of not making every moment worth as much as it absolutely could.

But that changed with the arrival of a stranger from beyond a rift in time and space. A stranger from a time different from their own.

They encouraged the stranger to act, but yet were shocked when they surpassed every expectation. The stranger did not ensure every moment, but rather simply moved. They lived each moment and spread themselves wide. They acted rashly, but yet with purpose. Such a way to live, was wrong to Adaman, who acted with reason, logic, and certainty. The stranger simply acted as they felt like, trusting their heart, friends, and their Pokémon to guide them to the best path forward. To Adaman, whose own clan members kept secrets, such a thing opened his view. And so, to learn more, they supported this stranger, and became their friend, helping them quell the frenzied noble Pokemon who had been driven mad. He learned from them and he truly grew, changing due to the time he spent with them. And when the end was imminent, he heard the voice of the one he had revered and learned their true name. The one who holds domain over the unyielding weight of Time, the endless flow. Like a river ever onward. Hearing their voice, they supported their friend, as they quelled the frenzied incarnations of space and time, and at the same time, they grew, and became a more complete person than they ever were before.

Dedicating themselves to their clan even more, he became an even greater leader, one that could be trusted and confided within, one who understood the strength of bonds. Bonds so strong that not even the endless flow of time could touch them. And so, when time was threatened, and they were called upon by their Lord Dialga, they answered.

For what better way to repay the gift of endless flow, of the infinite potential of time, than to answer the call to protect both the past the present is built upon and the future in which it leads?

Parameters:

Strength: E

Agility: E (EX)

Constitution: EX

Mana: D

Luck: NA

NP: EX

Class Skills:

Riding: A

A skill denoting the ability to ride animals or vehicles. In life, he was skilled at riding various Pokémon, including descedants of three of the ten legendary Pokémon chosen by Almighty Sinnoh. Furthermore, as priest of the Ruler of Time, he rides the 'current of time' itself.

Magic Resistance: EX

A skill that represents protection against magical attacks and effects. A skill naturally possessed by Caster class servants, however, possessing a divine core, Adaman's resistance against magic is exceptionally heightened. Dialga is time, Dialga is change, Dialga is this moment and the next, inevitable and inviolable. As such, outside of the bounds of true magic or magecraft on the level of Divine Mysteries, Dialga's chosen shall not be touched by magecraft. For time is adamant and so shall shall time's chosen be.

Personal Skills:

Divine Core of the Ruler of Time: C

A composite Skill that comprises the Skill Divinity, preserves the absoluteness of the mind and the body, repels all mental interference, and prevents the user from being influenced by effects that alter the flow of time, his perception of time, or even causality to a certain extent. Furthermore, the divine power of Dialga prevents all but the strongest of magecraft from influencing Adaman, granting him a high level of magic resistance.

Dialga is one of the original Pokemon, created to rule over the infinite expanse of time. In itself, it is a divine being of the highest quality, a being capable of being confused for the head god of a mythology in itself. A boundless being with the capability to remake the world itself with its vast power. This divinity, this power, is fed into Adaman when summoned as a servant, making him their Priest, their chosen representative, as well as, in a sense, a Divided Spirit of Dialga. As such, Adaman possesses a Divine Core, however, its quality is greatly reduced due to his nature as a human intermediary and vessel for Dialga's true power.

But even so diminished, it is still the power of the Ruler of Time, the endless flow in which possibilities spew forth.

Summoning - Pokemon: EX

During his life, Adaman lived with Pokémon side by side. The way of the Diamond Clan, which predated the invention of Pokeballs, was to live with their chosen partners side by side, as equals. Compared to his compatriot from the Pearl Clan, Irida, Adaman acts with purpose and deep thought into every action, putting immense value into each second that they had been granted by Almighty Sinnoh, as such, he was far more accepting of the invention of Pokeballs despite not personally using them. Yet he still now carries one, a memento of the one he called a true friend.

Through the bond with his partner Pokemon, he is capable of calling them to his side at a moment's notice. Leafeon, Vaporeon, and Umbreon, each of them more than simple partners, but lifelong friends.

However, additionally, perhaps due to being able to be summoned as Rider, he is also capable of calling upon the various Pokémon watched over by the Diamond Clan. Wyrdeer, The Wise One who Crosses the Lands, Basculeigon, The One who Cuts through the Seas, and Braviary, the One who Lives within the Skies, Lilligant, Lady of the Ridge, and Electrode, Lord of the Hollow.

Each of these Pokemon possess the blessings of Origin, of Almighty Sinnoh, and as such possesses immense power. However, the power of Lilligant and Electrode are realms above, possessing power on the level of some of the most powerful servants. The others, while mighty, lend their aid most strongly as mounts, allowing Adaman to rapidly move across the Land, Sea, and Air with ease. But, even so, should they be called to fight, their power would not doubt be a match for an average servant. Such is the power of the Pokemon blessed by the Almighty Creator.

Experience of the Singular Moment: EX

A composite skill born of Adaman's mindset and the Authority of Dialgia. Adaman valued every moment, each instance of time granted to them by their Patron God. He would deliberate, think, and ponder, always making sure to choose the best option to best make use of this blessing of time that had been granted to them. Always seeking the best future, always seeking the best usage of every moment. This mindset, combined with the authority over time Dialgia possesses, means that, for Adaman, each moment is as long as he desires it to be. While he cannot physically act, he can endlessly think and ponder to his heart's content. His mind is free to contemplate and examine every single moment if he desires, all to arrive at the future he seeks.

For so long as one exists in the flow of time, so too does the path to the future you seek exist. One must simply find it within the vastness of the infinite present.

Adamantly Observing the Endless Flow: A

Time is boundless. Time is infinite. Time is Endless. Time is Merciless. Even should history be burned to ash, should space crumble and twist, time will move onward, a steady and unshakable force that governs all, each moment has been, is, and will be.

The Symbol of Dialga is a Diamond. For a Diamond endures. It remains, overserving all that is and will be. An adamant diamond, formed at the moment of origin in which time began, that is the nature of Dialga, as one who watches over the flow of time from the very beginning. No matter the form a thing has taken, it is known, it is equal, for Dialga has seen it all. For Dialga all change that comes, always was and always will be.

For this, Dialga possesses limited authority over change, form, and history. To safeguard something's form, to bring it to wither, or to return it to what it once was. Free movement across the flow of time, while Dialga remains unchangeable. As his Representative and Monk, Adaman possesses a portion of this authority. He can observe the history of objects, places, and things, learn their pasts and futures, and modify them as he sees fit. However, bound to time and history as he is, Adaman has nearly lost the ability to defy Fate itself, meaning that effects that exceed the strength of the fragment of Dialga's authority he has been granted, he cannot deny.

Additionally, while he can learn of the pasts of others with free will with this ability, he is unable to see their futures clearly. The union of Emotion, Knowledge, and Will creates new possibilities, a miracle greater than even the flow of time. The union of the three, to form the mind, is what allows for the shaping of fate itself.

But yet that remains, seen and known by the endless flow.

Temporal Command: EX

Direct Application of Dialga's authority over Time. Focused through the orb he carries, Adaman can distort and command the flow of time. Dialga's authority over time is such that if unopposed, it could remake the very fabric of the world itself by returning all things to the moment of Origin to begin anew. While Adaman does not hold such a level of power, even a fragment of the Ruler of Time's Authority is beyond the scope of human understanding.

Accelerating and dilating time with casual ease, none can match Adaman in terms of speed or dexterity, for each moment lasts as long as he desires it to be, always with ample time to act as he desires. Propagation of states, advancement of wounds and affliction, healing in the form of reversal, altering the flow of time, and even causality are all within his capabilities. He is even capable of resetting his state and magical energy to a previous moment in time completely, meaning that he can instantly replenish his magical energy and restore any damage he takes. It is an almighty power that resembles magecraft but is in truth the authority of what could only be called a God. However, it is important to note that while Dialga's ability can interfere with space due to the closeness of Time and Space, it has no actual authority over it.

Noble Phantasm:

The Collapse of the Singular Moment – Roar of Time

Rank: NA (EX)

Type: Anti-Unit

We all live within a singular moment. But a grain of sand within the flow. The truth of what we are will always remain. Even an ephemeral existence holds the same weight, for all within time are the same, equal, existing all at once.

But yet, we change. Through time, we change. Some grow, some are made lesser, and some the change might never be apparent. But yet, not even then endless are unbound by time. Not even that which claims to exist outside of time is truly unaffected by it.

For to be is to change, and that change is time itself.

Our time. The world's time. The universe's time.

In the end, it is all the same.

This technique, rather than a true Noble Phantasm, is an application of Dialga's authority of time, elevated to a higher level by the combination of the abilities of Adaman and the Authority of Dialga combined as one. Allowing for an imitation of Dialga's power that would be otherwise beyond Adaman.

All possibilities collapse, future and past become the present. All moments, history, and potential are forced into a singular moment. And then it is released. A bellow of time, as if the universe itself roars at the impossibility. An attack that collapses fates. A distortion of time in which the present of all things within it collapses and ceases to be, snuffing out future and past along with it. While it technically has no rank as a Noble Phantasm, if it were to be given one, it would be ranked EX.

An unmatchable attack that ignores power, durability, and fate itself. The only hope one has is to avoid it entirely, for even a grazing blow would be disastrous. However, to perform this is to go beyond what Adaman should be capable of, and as such, as a cost, or perhaps punishment for overstepping his bounds, his powers over time cannot be used for nearly twelve hours afterwards.

But that is but a small price to pay, to exercise the power of that which rules over Time.

Adamant Globe – The Moment of Origin

Rank: EX

Type: Anti-Unit, Anti-World

All exist within the flow of time. Through knowledge we learn of its flow, through emotion, we ascribe meaning to its passing, and with will we move forward through it, unyielding as living things. Even as death slips ever closer, we move through time, for by doing so, our lives have meaning.

For it is by living, that we are.

All governed by time's ceaseless flow.

It crushes us, weights us down, and degrades our forms. But yet, it lets us grow. We change, we learn, we become well. Through the progression of time, although the end always comes, we live, we make, we destroy, but most of all we change. Always changing. We are the same as we always were and yet we also become something else with each moment.

No matter how much people try to overcome time, this is truth. Even the endless, even the eternal, are subjected to its flow, and so, are subjected to its nature itself.

This is the gift all things have been granted, a gift from Almighty Sinnoh, from Origin. As such, those that threaten the gift of infinitely flowing time, Dialga will not sit idly by.

This Noble Phantasm takes the form of a Diamond Orb, around the size of a crystal ball, which resides within the air around Adaman, shimmering in many colors as it endlessly refracts light coming from within.

Inexplicitly, it does not appear to move, but rather its location in space relative to Adaman remains constant unless he desires it to change. This is because the Orb remains fixed in time. Unalterable and absolute, it cannot be moved, let alone broken, without Adaman's will making it so. As such, it is a powerful weapon, capable of being directed through Time to strike at his foes with an unstoppable physical attack. Acting as a catalyst in which Dialga's powers spring forth, as such, Adaman's manipulation of time is limited to a fixed area around the orb. But, more importantly, when it is manifested, this orb contains Adaman's Spiritual Core, as such, due to this and Dialga's authority, Adaman can only truly be killed by complete annihilation of his physical form at once.

But within this orb, there lies even greater power. With the invocation of this Noble Phantasm, Adaman is capable of summoning the Almighty Dialga to aid him in battle in its normal form. While in this form it cannot exercise its true authority over Time, the staggering power Dialga possesses is still enough to overwhelm even the strongest of servants. As a consequence of summoning this immeasurably powerful being, however, the Authorities Adaman borrows from Dialga will return to them so long as they stay manifested, making him unable to command time, read the histories of others, or even his ability to endlessly experience a moment, leaving him with just his partner Pokémon and using the Lustrous Globe as a weapon.

But, this orb holds one more secret. When pushed to his limits, Adaman can make the ultimate sacrifice, shattering the Adamant Globe and ending his existence instantly. But by doing so, the incredible power of Origin that resides within the core of the Adamant Globe is released in full.

With this act, Dialga's power becomes unbound, beyond the scope of even the Red Chain to bind in full. The might of Origin fills it and reverts it to its true form. It's Origin Form.

Bear witness to that which Rules all of Time, and crumble away.​
