'cause you can run but you can't hide [ares' plotter]

[attr="class","info-title"]Rudolf

[attr="class","info-post"]Yeah, to be completely honest I'm not entirely sure how things would go. Rudolf seems like a bit of a wildcard, and Ares can rarely have a good day where he might not want to immediately bite off someone's head for trying to pick a fight with him.

I think the best course of action would simply be to throw them both in a thread and see what happens.

As for Lavender Delacroix, Ares can be pretty reckless but I don't think he'll target the guild master, at least not quite yet lol

[attr="class","info-post"]If you could start, that would be awesome! I need to figure out a posting template so I have no problem taking advantage of the time to prepare until you are ready tomorrow :]

I will keep this information in mind ;3

[attr="class","info-title"]Rudolf

[attr="class","info-post"]Not in particular? I am sure I can find an excuse for him to be just about everywhere, asides from the obvious like the guild, of course :O

So, yeah, rng away!

I'm sure Ares will enjoy the fact that he gets under Sam's skin a bit, especially if they did have history, so I'm down for that. Still, they are technically on the same side (even though it's hardly a loyal affair), so be it via the mafia or a more personal contract, I'm sure we can have these two interact without much difficulty. Whether their interaction would be pleasant is a whole other matter entirely, but I'd be happy to have Ares be just a little more fuel to that fire-type dislike of his.

[attr="class","info-title"]Summer

[attr="class","info-post"]I'm sure Ares is just a tad frustrating for a Houndoom like Summer, if not solely being a reminder of her past, then maybe just being a horrible stereotype to make others of their species look bad. She, most certainly, will annoy him a bit, being such a timid 'little' goody-two-shoes. I don't see him actively looking to harass her, but I'm sure if they crossed paths he'd be happy to give her his opinion on her supposed spinelessness.

At the very least, she wouldn't have to worry about mistaken identity since, by the sounds of it, their appearances differ quite a bit too (not even counting the obvious scar, of course).

[attr="class","info-title"]Summer

[attr="class","info-post"]Honestly, if Ares could choose how people reacted to him, he'd much rather it be out of anger than fear. Fear is boring and predictable, but getting under people's skin can be much more entertaining as far as he was concerned, so he'd likely find her standing her ground to be rather amusing, especially if it's not something she normally does.

And, yeah, I figured their differences of opinion on that matter would be a big deal. He might initially question how she managed to get all chummy with others (when he never could), but then he'd likely chalk it all up to the fact that she has to essentially be afraid of being a Houndoom and act all meek and harmless just to accomplish what he deems fake respect from the guild and other pokemon. And that is something he absolutely refuses to do lol

If it did ever come up, I don't know if they would ever really see eye to eye on the subject, but I'm sure they can at least make each other question things a bit, which could be interesting.

[attr="class","info-title"]Samuel Edurne

[attr="class","info-post"]Oh, yeah, that would work out quite nicely. It's his sort of job, after all, and if the mafia didn't want that sort of heat coming back to him, he'd be the one to go to. So we can certainly add that to their history.

Of course, I'm down to thread! If you could start, that would be great :]

[attr="class","info-title"]Summer

[attr="class","info-post"]Yeah, that's perfectly fine. Dealing with Ares is a sure-fire way to at the very least get annoyed, so I'm happy to provide his services if you want to let Summer loose a bit and get out any pent up frustrations.

Dedrock is perfectly fine with me, as I'm sure I can find a reasonable excuse for him to be roaming at night to make a meeting between these two happen.

[attr="class","info-title"]Klaus Gaiteuil

[attr="class","info-post"]Now you've been up to quite a bit of fun, and I must say, reading your threads has been a delight, so if you don't mind, I think I'd love to hang around and see if we don't have some ideas we can write on, perhaps now, or perhaps later, depending on both your muse and what makes sense~

First and foremost though, of course, is our dear King himself. I imagine since Ares makes a habit of working on the opposite side of the law from him, he knows who Klaus is, perhaps even could recognize him at a glance. I'm not sure how well known of a criminal Ares is though, so it's quite possible Klaus won't have this same privilege, but I think these two running into each other could lead to some interesting interactions. After all, here is someone who Ares hates (I assume) quite strongly, and is working to undermine and undercut by whatever means possible. And I personally am a sucker for drama, and could use riling up some trouble for Klaus to struggle and stress over~

There is some pull the other way though, for it's hard to ignore the power gap between them, both physically, Klaus is older, more experienced, and has put quite a lot of effort into learning how to fight alongside other things, and likely has little to fear from Ares directly, and also in terms of presence and politics, one has some sway of intimidation in the underworld, the other has an entire Royal Guard, and if necessary, townspeople and guild members who would likely follow his orders gladly. Klaus is also, I imagine, a tantalizingly difficult target to play mind games with, he's weary and wary with a very authoritative and cold manner when it comes to such matters.

Yet Klaus is also just that. Stressed, worried, and weary. Ares is already doing such a lovely job of sowing discord and threatening, capturing, and luring away guild members and civilians, plenty of trouble for the (relatively) newer King. I'm sure Ares might be able to find a way to use his ability to hurt others around Klaus to good use~ or perhaps he tries to play his own cards a different way around Klaus, he's pretty intelligent and wary, but he's no psychic.

A bit of a ramble, but my point, is I think these two could have a great rivalry, and Ares could make a great antagonist towards Klaus, and perhaps even Klaus cause some headaches to our fierce hound as well, and there seem to be a number of ways to go about this if you have any ideas or my ramblings spark interest~

[attr="class","info-title"]Yasuo Kaburagi

[attr="class","info-post"]Where to start with these two... they have a shared hatred of most people, and a strong vicious streak in them that tends to come out as aggression and sarcasm, but something tells me that while they might appreciate the other in some aspects, they are far more likely to find those very traits aggravating in each other~ Yasuo is just a bit of a hot-head, and despite his dark moods, he's pretty thoroughly a guild member, so an obvious path would be for these two to be rivals. Yasuo's a pretty good fighter, but the type advantage is most definitely not in my dear Grovyle's favor, so any fights will likely be in Ares' favor, but that might not stop Yasuo from trying to leave a few marks on your dear hound anyways if urged on enough, either in the pursuit of taking down a criminal, or simply out of pride depending how things go.

In fact, even if they don't know they are on opposite sides of the law, these two would likely fall to rivalry anyways, though there could be quite a range here of how serious it is. Yasuo is stubborn, and more than willing to track a criminal to the end of his days, but even as a stranger I imagine Yasuo and him might come to a show of strength of some kind, and Ares' type advantage, whether Yasuo has the sense not to fight him or not, could definitely leave Yas to becoming determined to overcome the difference and further settling his bitter mood.

Or perhaps you have a different idea entirely, I could see some odd scenarios between these two, but I would love to hear if you have any thoughts~
