Marks manifest differently for each Vessel
Tumblr media
Alt Volo + lore under the cut vvv
Tumblr media
And hey, since you're here~
Vessels - People chosen by sacred pokémon to embody them. They gain a fraction of the deity's power, and in return, assist them in whatever mission they might have.
Ingo - Vessel of Zekrom
Upon landing in Hisui, Ingo was unaware of his status as a Vessel, nor did he know which pokémon he was tied with. It was not until he felt the call of a younger Zekrom - signified by his mark glowing - that he was told. Since then, he has spoken with Zekrom and learned of Unova, though he still doesn't quite understand why he feels so sad when they talk about it.
Ostl - Vessel of Palkia ?
Ostl came to Hisui from modern-day Unova, retaining none of their memories. They found that they had gained the ability to communicate with all beings (namely, pokémon) and now live as a traveller with their friends. Upon being informed what a Vessel was, and the fact that they were one by Palkia, they were ecstatic. For some reason, they revere pokémon to a dangerous degree, but even they don't know why.
Jeremy - Vessel of Dialga ?
Jeremy came from a world much like this one, appearing soon after Ostl had disappeared into the wilderness. He retained his memories with one caveat - he couldn't remember other humans. Thanks to this, he remembers the original plotline of the 'game' he find himself in, so all seems well.. That is, until he meets Ostl, a total enigma, and is attacked with visions of the future. He travels with them in hopes to reach a peaceful conclusion and run from the law, though, his bias towards a certain blonde lands him in trouble more often than not.
Volo - Vessel of Giratina
Volo is one of the few people to ever choose to become a Vessel, and he uses his natural wit to help keep it hidden. Oh, he lifted things that were a little too heavy for one person? Turns out one of the boxes was empty - don't bother checking, it's under other things now. When the 'heroes' fell, one possessing the clear markings of a Vessel, and the other with frighteningly knowing eyes that seemed to see right through him, he couldn't help his interest. He travels alone as a merchant, but usually ends up teaming up with them under the guise of convenience.
Palkia
Palkia is quite serious, and very obedient towards Arceus. He's the more mature of the gem duo, but can be easily perceived as cold or emotionless. He used to revere Arceus much in the same way people did, but slowly became jaded over time, as whatever he did, it was not enough.
Dialga
Dialga, on the other hand, is incredibly chaotic. Though not actively rebellious most of the time, he carries a similar disdain towards Arceus as his Vessel. Most of the time he acts like some weird uncle, being upbeat, charismatic, and a little unhinged, but sometimes he goes too far.
Giratina
Ah, the estranged fragment of Arceus. Other than his rightful fury towards the god, he's actually quite compassionate, and the most well rounded emotionally of his creations. At the moment, he's trying his best to lead his Vessel down the right path, while still getting his revenge.
Arceus
The bastard himself. His motivations remain unclear, though his curiosity of humans is increasingly evident. He didn't create them. He created pokémon, and people eventually appeared alongside them. Perhaps this is why he cannot understand the pain he causes others - It simply doesn't occur to him that most creatures have emotions.
