In-Character Information
Name : The main female form is called Bob (Arceus). It's short for Robert...or was that Roberta? (Bob kinda forgot which one it picked first). Sometimes, when she parades around as a 'he', he likes to call himself Heather. Heather is short for...Heather. Heather looks a lot like this. Yes, Arceus picked an older male form than a female one. No point in asking why. (He really likes his hair)
Game/Series: Pokémon
Age & Grade Level: *~Timeles~*, Junior
Height: 5'1 (Human) 10' (Pokémon form)
Weight: 150 lbs (Human) 705.5 lbs.(Pokémon form)

Personality:
Love life and life will love you back. Love people and they will love you back.
-Arthur Rubinstein

Bob loves the universe and all the creatures in it. It shows in the way she treats everyone, teachers and students alike. She's extremely relaxed and happy despite whatever chaos that might go around her to the point it might become annoying to others. After all, there is nothing more frustrating than screaming at someone who doesn't really look like they cares. Bob does, it's just that she doesn't like getting angry, not realizing she might just make the situation worse. She might pout, and her lower lip might tremble, but she never, ever gets angry. She only got angry once in her life and a planet exploded killing millions Arceus didn't like it, vowing to never do so again (or at least try).

She never walks, skipping from class to class, moving like she's always in a ballet production. She sings (very badly in female form) 80's show tunes to accompany her rhythm, and might flourish it with gravity-defying jumps and floating if she's feeling particularly inspired. Bob sounds like someone who had way too much sugar that morning, at times speaking so fast it's hard to keep up. She claims she lives on diet of Pixy Stixs, PopRocks and Donuts, and will enter classes with one of these in her mouth. Sometimes all three at the same time.

Arceus is very direct when she wants to be, knowing things that others don't (such as glimpses of THE FUTURE) and saying things which, coming from someone else, might seem to be hurtful or mean spirited. Bob can't help it - she just wanted to tell you that you should get that doctor's medical done, or else you might get sick next week. Except, it might be better if she told you privately, instead of saying it out loud during the middle of a class. Note, these are always suggestions....if asked, she'll claim the future is made of *~infinite possibilities~* and all she's doing is pushing you along one. The final choice...is entirely up to you. Besides, who is she to tell you these things?

She is EXCITED to be at a learning institute, and with energy to spare, Bob cannot sit around for long before having to draw on her notes, listen to music or move things she shouldn't be touching. Bob frequently gets into trouble during her classes, but seems to think as detention like an extension of school rather than punishment.

Everything is done with a dash of naiveness. She craves new adventures and to see, touch, smell and taste the world around her. Shouldn't she already know about everything? It's hard to tell with the way she acts memorized. Dare her to lick a frozen metal pole and she will, if only to know what it's like to get her tongue stuck there. Arceus treats strangers with a kind regard, an over-energetic wave and a small smile. Most people meeting her for the first time might quietly wonder if she's borderline retarded how she can remain so positive.

Bob is naturally curious. In less than polite terms, SHE ENJOYS SNOOPING AROUND WHERE SHE SHOULDN'T BE. She doesn't take no for an answer, pouting and then continuing what she was doing while no one is looking. Show her something interesting, and you might loose her for a few minutes as she looks at it oohing and aawing (holding it up in the air and making it spin). Put her in a room with a lot of science equipment and she will insist on trying to push and pull everything. (Can I touch this button? No. And this button? No! And this button? No! .....*press*). Arceus might...accidentally break something in her zeal to test out things, but it's okay, she'll have that all fixed up in no time flat! Just don't mind the black hole that reaches to the other side of the universe, she might have accidentally created that by mistake. No worries, it will disappear in a day or two!

Backstory:
In the beginning, there was a void of nothingness. Then...there was Bob. And it was good.

No one really knows where Arceus came from, even Bob herself. If asked, she'll just laugh timidly, give you a pat on the shoulder and mention something about how pretty the Big Bang looked, but it's hard to tell if she is just joking around or being serious. She looks so young and naive, after all.

During the early years of...pretty much everything ever, Arceus chilled a little bit and did some things that aren't really worth mentioning, or at least, SHE thinks they aren't important. Something about planets being born, babies floating in space and a giant black slab stone dumped in front of some monkeys. Despite all this, she craved companionship most of all and so created Dialga, Palkia, Giratina (She named them Snap, Crackle, Pop). Arceus finally had things to talk with! Life was a little less boring for a while, but Arceus realized they were creatures that enjoyed battling each other, and figured she could make life more interesting if she could offset this with...some gentle creatures. She then made a trio of *~whimsical fairies triplets~* or as everyone eventually would call them, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf. (Bob herself named them Larry, Moe and Curly. )

Time advanced, as it always did. More planets appeared, blew up and were created again. Arceus adored studying the celestial bodies, pushing a little here and there and seeing what they could do on their own. She would gaze at them whenever she could (which was...all the time), visiting when one was particularly awe-inspiring.

Truth be told, she started to play favorites with one in particular, spending more and more time there, blending in with the humans that were slowly starting to populate it. Bob loved humans. In fact, she loved humans a lot! Okay, so they seemed insistent on wanting to name all of the Pokémon which she already had, but they could also do things like love and sing. Arceus enjoyed music. Especially as time went on, and they discovered how to use their hands instruments.

Over the years and through the centuries, Arceus might have taken on a few human and Pokémon lovers during the many, many, many, many years in her life, but never fathered or mothered any children. Well, with someone else, anyway. “I already have too many of them”, she would tell them, giggling, poking them on the nose. Life was good, humans were pretty cool even if they had very short lifespans.

Then a few thousand years or so later, the 1980's came and Arceus decided it was quite possibly the best era to live in, EVER. She was completely smitten. Everything was bright, happy colorful...the fashion! The music! The mustached men! She loved it so much she never wanted to leave. So Bob didn't. Even if time went on and it was  2009. That was alright, a few years of cultural negligence to stay in the best era was like a drop of water for her. She looked...odder and odder walking in the streets as the years went by, but no one really gave her a second glance. She was just a strange girl, with strange habits, right? Certainly not a god of creation. No siree.

Smash Academy. You'd think she'd have gone there earlier, but no, Bob never realized it existed until she heard about the great Aparoid war. It was all the talk in the newspapers, about the school that had saved an entire city! It even had Pokémon attending as both students and teachers. It was...very intriguing. Besides, Bob wanted to learn things, it would be interesting to see what others taught, and the school didn't seem to be as boring as most others!

So Arceus packed all her bags in her very tiny apartment, and headed of to Final Destination City with a simple dream of becoming a better person and enrolled as a Junior Student.

Anything Else?:
  • Bob listens to 80's music nearly exclusively. She has an extensive vinyl collection, and an old music player that makes scratching noises.
  • Instead of using plates, in her human forms, Arceus changes types using slap bracelets. She keeps all of them in a small bag. The change is near instantaneous, with her entire outfit and hair adopting. (It looks really cool to see her do it)
  • She does the best Robot Dance ever. EVER. Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
  • Loves Star Wars, Star Trek, Star Wolf, Star Fox...Anything with Star. Even Ringo Star.
  • She adores guys with mustaches and mutton chops. Facial hair not necessarily but definitely a turn on. Unless you are a girl. That's more of a turn off, sorry.
  • She loves the sounds of instruments and will gladly spend hours listening to someone play. This is, incidently the only time when she's calmed down and not trying to do anything else.
  • Her
    entire room side is decorated with stuffed toys. There is barely any room to sleep on her bed. Bob also glued a bunch of glow-in-the-dark stars all over her side of the wall, and likes to shine a lamp for a few minutes before closing the lights and giggling (“Light goes on.” “Light goes off!”).
  • Bob's hair colors and facial markings appear when she is hit or doused in hot water. When she uses cold water, her hair turns white again, and her facial markings disappear. Sometimes she likes to wash her hair cold on one side or use a hot towel to color in only part of her markings.
  • Arceus does not user her powers very frequently, if at all, to 'cheat the universe' (if that makes sense). She might make verbal suggestions and enjoys a tarot card reading or two, but don't expect her to make things appear out of thin air. She says that people should solve problems on their own and doesn't interfere as much as she can.
  • BOB CREATED THE UNIVERSE! ...maybe! Who knows really. ...She's not telling.
