[attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ DESCRIPTION ◂

[attr="class","explorerbox"]Io is about average in terms of her build when it comes to a Zoroark. Standing slightly under the normal at 5-foot even, weighing barely 150lbs with the addition of her mane. She's pretty lanky for her kind, more muscle and lean meat with a severe lack of cushion created by a more comfortable lifestyle. As if to expand more upon this, her claws have a slight curve to them- a defect created from her years of climbing, clawing, and generally ensuring that her claws can almost never grow to have what should be a natural straighter length.

For her pride, her fur and mane; she's fluffier than one would expect. Her chest ruffle is more pronounced, extending to the midway of her back while the front splits and ends in curls at her midriff. Her mane is similar in a curly state, lacking the stiff strength of her kindred; the long lengths of her mane curl at its splits and the tail-end past the orb that holds it all together.

In coloration she's on-point for her kind. Dark grey to black, red tips and claws. Blue eyes and pearly fangs. Often times she can be found wearing robes or jewelry, her ears often boasting metal bands that weigh them down. Sometimes an arm circlet can be found when she's specifically trying to dazzle someone.

[attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ PERSONALITY ◂

[attr="class","explorerbox"]Io is a whimsical individual, keen to do as she pleases with a moral compass that keeps her strictly on the good side of the law. Or at least on the better side of civilized pokemon. It's given her something a of backwards reputation when it coupled with her dauntless tendencies. Her constant challenges in the dungeons, bringing back hoards to sell or trade making her fairly merchant-minded when it comes to the treasures she's pawning off. Perhaps its that same pride the prevents her from seeking out shops to buy from. A sort of stubbornness that makes her want to find challenges rather than accumulate wealth.

When it comes to guilds and the way explorations are handled, she has her own opinion on them that she'll share if asked. Most times its met neutrally. Other times, perhaps not. She seems content let dogs lie so long as nothing overly ground rumbling disturbs her lifestyle.

[attr="class","explorerheader"]▸ FREEFORM ◂

[attr="class","explorerbox"]Born to an espeon and a zoroark, an off pairing that resulted in a very small family. They lived on the outskirts of her father's pack's territory, under their protection so long as their odd coupling didn't interfere with pack politics. This was in a mountainous forest in the Sky Continent.

When Io was old enough, she left the comfort of home to adventure around the world. During that time she learned how to be quick and crafty to keep herself safe, learning the ways of the wilds until she found a mystery dungeon. With only tales of what the place was, she ventured in and nearly lost her life to the overaggressive and mad pokemon within. It was by the grace of a team seeking out an item for a client that she made it out at all.

Despite her near-death experience, it didn't deter her from the wonder of mystery dungeons. Again and again she would venture into them, solo; learning how survive and gather within their dangerous depths. That pattern continued to today where she prides herself on being able to sneak through places normal folks would rather not go.

While technically she's an explorer, she accepts odd jobs as well. Sometimes a courier, sometimes a hunter, sometimes a rescuer. If she has any reputation at all its for her ability to traverse strange and unusual places.
