• On September 26th, Vulcan captured MissingNo. Green recognized the creature from notes within his grandfather’s sublab, so Vulcan returns and enters the depths.

The Rundown
Aka, the short version + trivia.
• The Protagonist of Pokémon Fire Red: Rocket Edition
• I will usually refer to Kanto-Johto as Kanjoh, and Blue (Red's Rival) as Green to be in line with the wider verse and other accounts I run, even though the other names are used in Rocket Edition itself.
• The given name Valjean comes from Jean Valjean of Les Misérables fame. The surname Ohka comes from the blossoms of the cherry tree, and the Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka rocket powered Kamikaze plane.
• The codename Vulcan comes from the Roman god of volcanoes and metalworking, and the Vulcan Centaur rocket launching system. It's also the name of a fictional alien species, and a hypothetical planet once thought to exist between Mercury and the Sun.
• Vulcan's birthday is January 22nd, 1976. He was 22 when leaving his timeline in 1998, and is now 31 in the modern timeline.
• In mainline continuities (universes where MissingNo. was not created in the Mewtwo Project), he dies as a child at the hands of his father, alongside his mother. As a result, Vulcan is fated to become MissingNo.'s caretaker, or otherwise lacks a purpose.
• Uses his codename almost exclusively. After being baptized as Vulcan, he tried to distance himself from his family name to not harm their legacy.
• Pursued most of the side quest objectives in Rocket Edition, including the Gym Challenge, the Underground Path prostitution ring, the Fishing brothers, and the Pewter City Nurse's request. Killed Ace Trainer Julien after the biker gang side-quest, to protect Miss Hoenn.
• Stole from pretty much every available trainer, except for Mr. Fuji in Pokémon Tower, and Ariana in Viridian Gym. He took pity on the former, and didn't want to disrespect the latter.
• Escaped jail before standing trial, and has traveled ever since.
• Only kept a small handful of his Pokémon, as the rest were seized by the police from the PC system after his arrest.
• He smokes cigars and drinks heavily, to cope with stress and calm his nerves. Likely suffering from complex PTSD, but refuses to see any kind of psychologist. This is especially true in the Modern timeline, after having spent half a decade fighting in war and guerilla operations.
• Oak speculated that Vulcan had a particular unnatural skill akin to Red, though it was Mewtwo who later identified it as an affinity for "Outsider" Pokémon. Normally, Pokémon that have been under the ownership of another trainer are difficult to command unless shown significant reason to follow orders. Vulcan can easily command any Pokémon from the moment he snatches their ball off someone's belt, as if he'd caught and trained them himself.
• When Mew attempted to correct MissngNo.'s DNA, some of the corrupted data latched onto Vulcan and caused his cells to cease replicating properly. He almost died from the affliction, until Ketsu could be properly restored to its true form and healed his DNA itself. This has formed a powerful psychic bond between them.
Vulcan's Pokémon
• Ketsuban is the Japanese name of MissingNo., meaning "Missing Number" without the need for abbreviation.
• Neo uses the same moveset as the Boss' Mewtwo, with the exception of running Swagger in place of Taunt. It is a more risky move to use, reflecting their difference in personality. Swagger also has a similar effect to the Berserk Gene, a Generation II item that sharply raises the holder's attack ans confuses them on switching in. The item is a trace of Mewtwo's DNA, found at the collapsed entrance to Cerulean Cave. In the game data, all wild Mewtwo hold a Berserk Gene.
• Otokodachi / the "Standing Man" is the family tattoo of Kaoru Haneyama in Baki Hanma. It depicts a traveling gambler carrying a massive church bell on his back, covered in wounds as he protects the child hiding inside the bell.
• Vileplumes are based on the Mandrake in form, with their flowers being a Rafflesia.
• As a Scyther, Scizor was a crewman on the S.S. Anne, hence the name Cutlass, the weapon of choice of pirates. Cutlass' ability to devolve into a Scyther is due to the evolution being caused by an item that coated his body. The evolution into Kleavor in the Hisui timeline is irreversible through practical means, however.
• Don Rhyxote is a nod to both Don Quixote, and that his former master Julien was a crime boss or "Don".
• Due to a glitch in the script alterations of Fire Red: Rocket Edition, Ghost Marowak can be captured in Pokémon Tower. The game treats it as if you had fled from the battle, and you can refight and recapture Marowak any number of times until you defeat it.
• Alolan Marowak is based on the Nightmarcher of Hawaiian myth, spirits of dead warriors.
• Capo is both a high rank within the mafia, and also comes from Capoeria, a South American fighting style based in dancing.
• Onyx is a black stone, and also comes from the Baryonyx, a long snouted dinosaur that Krookodile takes inspiration from.
• Goro is a shortened form of Pangoro, but also of Gorogoro, the Japanese word for rumbling.
• Messiah's name comes from Toxapex's real life inspiration, the Crown of Thorns starfish.
• Hans' name comes from Hans Christian Anderson, author of countless fables including "The Emperor's New Clothes"
• IED means both Intermittent explosive disorder, an extreme penchant for violent outbursts, and Improvised explosive device. It's less of a name and more of a descriptor. Or a warning.

Ketsuban
MissingNo., the ??? Pokémon☆
During the Mewtwo Project headed by Champion Oak of Kanto, a series of unsuccessful prototypes were created. Most came out as "half dead piles of flesh" called Ditto, but one specimen inherited the powers of Mew without any of the control. This creature could not be properly catalogued by the team's machines, and was given the title of Missing Number, or "MissingNo.". The beast could not be controlled, and had to be sealed away off the coast of Cinnabar Island. A decade later, Vulcan released the seal and captured it with a Master Ball. After the apparent dissolution of Team Rocket and his fleeing of the region, Vulcan spent three years trying to heal MissingNo., which he had named Ketsuban. They found the original Mew on Faraway Island, and Ketsuban's erratic DNA was stabilized. As a side effect however, the corruption leached into Vulcan's own DNA, and the release of energy sent them to another world. After much work, Vulcan was able to restore Ketsuban's form to that of a true Mew, and in turn had his own DNA healed.
In the Modern and Hisui timelines, Ketsuban appears as a normal Shiny Mew.Ketsuban can transform into almost anything, be it Pokémon, people, or objects. He enjoys taking the form of a doll that appears similar to an oddly colored Rhydon, which is also the form of it's Substitute doll when the move is used.Ketsuban's favored moves are Transform, Metronome, Psychic, and Teleport. He has a Quirky Nature, and the ability Synchronize.Metronome can call any move Ketsuban has witnessed in the past, and his body reshapes to use the limbs required.

Briefcase
Vulcan's possessions. Much like his Pokémon and history, there are differences between each. He always carries the essentials for a trainer in the briefcase Giovanni gave him (TMs, healing items, etc), but has a variety of other tools.
• A red crowbar, given to him when he was promoted to Admin. Frequently used to force open doors, and infrequently used to do bodily harm.
• A black pager with the Team's "R" symbol on it, and a simple green screen. Was once used to summon all Admins to their base. Has not gone off in years.
• A Nokia C16 Cellphone (Released in 1994), given to him by Bill to stay in touch. In most timelines, he's stolen or otherwise acquired a more modern phone for practical use, as the network used by the C16 has long since been shut down.
• A yellow flashlight purchased from a man near Diglett's Cave. After all, who needs Flash with the power of batteries?
• An Indigo League badge case, along with a Trainer Card. It contains all eight standard badges from the Kanto Region. The Card is identified as "Mohammed Smith". Forged by Koga.
• A 1992 Sony Discman, for playing CDs. The audio quality is a bit scratchy, due to having accidentally been used with TMs on multiple occasions.

A majority of Vulcan's possessions from the modern day were sealed inside a time capsule. He had a metal plate inscripted on it to not be opened until the year 2000.
• Vulcan's crowbar was melted down and used as studs in his Kanabō, a traditional club used by warriors of the era.

Content Warnings
Primarily in Modern Vulcan's posts, there will be many dark themes mentioned or explored. In posts that go into more than surface level detail, I will try to tag them. But the following may be found referenced in passing:
• Gun Violence
• Smoking
• Gore and Death
• Police Brutality
• Child Abuse
• Torture
• Religious themes and imageryIn the future, I will likely be moving Hisui Vulcan to a separate account, as he does not share much of this subject matter.
