About


The world of Impar is most certainly a different world compared to Pokémon World. As it stands, the world of Impar is one that is not only filled with Pokémon and humans. Oh no. Demons, angels and all kinds of oddities exist within this universe. However, to avoid disturbing the order of the world, these beings keep themselves in realms that rest opposite of Impar, only visiting the realm if they wish to explore the unknown. However, one has to wonder how Impar itself was created. We do know Arceus and Mew were involved in the process, but few are aware of what created this world. There are theories, but most are proven wrong. The answer itself is quite simple.

The plates are how the world was created.

These elemental spirits gave the ingredients needed for a world to be born. Their mere presence inspired the world to adapt to what was needed. They gave Pokemon their type and the legends that once held them the powers they would be known for. However, for decades, many regarded these spirits as nothing more than tools for Arceus. They thought that they lacked sentience and the ability to feel human emotions. These mortals were wrong in their assumption. Oh, so wrong.

Here we have Izzy. While she isn't seen often, the plates highly respect the plate. She is the fifteen plate to be created and doesn't actively try to stand out from the plates as they aren't one for attention. Izzy is the Insect Plate and has the title of the Bug Spirit. Izzy is one of the plates that never changed over the years. It's not that they don't desire to change. They just never felt the need to change as they were perfectly fine the way they are.


Design


Height
5'10 ft (177.8 cm)
Weight
136.4 lbs (62 kg)

Appearance

Izzy has a slim built with very few muscles. With light skin, the male has stitches across their nose (and various parts of his body) and a scar running diagonally across their face. He has short, light green hair that comes down to the bottom of his neck with the bangs framing his face. His eyes are completely black and oval-shaped.


His outfit consists of the following: a green and gray jacket with a matching colored ruff attached to it and black belts attached to the arms, a black collar with golden chain dangling from it, a gray half skirt, gray baggy pants being held up by a green belt with a skull dangling from it, gray boots with black straps on it and green hoodie with two black oval-shaped 'eyes' on it, green and white horns with golden chains dangling on one of them and straps hanging off the side. He occasionally wears a green face mask and has gray clawed gauntlets on his hands.

Notes
  • The scar and stitches across their face (and body) seems to be something that they retained from a battle with one of Firefly's previous incarnation.
  • Very few people actually seen Izzy without their clothes. She seem perfectly fine with that.
  • Izzy has a crown tattoo on the back of their neck.
    • This tattoo is a symbol of her connection to her mate, Queen.
  • Izzy is rarely seen without her clawed gauntlets. This seems to be due to the fact the female is uncomfortable showing off the scars that litter it.
    • These scars are ones that she has, in fact, received from her battle with Firefly's previous incarnation.
  • The little skull found on one of Izzy's belt was a gift that Damian gave them not too long after he became Arceus' guardian.
  • Izzy tend to wear his face mask whenever they are in the middle of battle.
  • No one is honestly sure how Izzy is able to carry as many bugs as they do in their body nor does anyone really want to question it.


Personality


Traits

  • Control Freak
  • Quiet
  • Protective (of bugs)
  • Shy (Rarely)

Likes

  • Insects. I mean what did you expect? They are the insect plate.
  • Sweets. This plate enjoys munching on candy and other sweets due to their sweet tooth.
  • Light. Much like certain insects, Izzy is attracted to the light and often go into a bit a daze when exposed to it.

Dislikes

  • Fire/Flying Pokemon. Izzy is not of a fan of those two types of Pokemon due to how much damage they can cause to her 'hive'.
  • Pesticide. Don't even mention that around her. Just don't.
  • Anyone taking off their hood. They dislike anyone doing that due to the reactions they received from doing so.

"What a strange creature you are. Little one, would you like to join the Hive? We will ensure that you will be safe here."

Izzy is odd. She often keeps to herself and mutters to herself about gathering her servants. She considers all of her bugs her children. Izzy is a bit of a control freak and will snap at you if you harm his bugs. It is unclear how many bugs that Izzy has at the moment, but do we want to know? After all, it leads to the question of where Izzy puts them? Regardless, their odd behavior extends into their love for fusing with Tox/Ick. They always find the fusion to be amusing and beautiful. There was something was enchanting about the form. It explains why Izzy often gives Tox/Ick a weird look every time they see each other.

However, if you manage to push past their odd behavior, you will find that Izzy isn't that bad. They are gentle and kind (in their odd way). They can even be shy at times though that only appears when they are around their spouse. That's why Damian tries to visit Queen's 'owner' (Quinn) as often as he can to see how they act. They slightly dislike Firefly and Skye as they worry they will cause harm to their Hive. In terms of who they dislike the most, that title goes to Firefly due to how reckless he can be and what his previous incarnation did to her Butterfree.

Clawed Gauntlets [Weapon]


In truth, Izzy doesn't use her clawed gauntlets often. She never saw a need to use them with the moves she knows and the bug Pokemon she has by her side. In honesty, those gauntlets are supposed to hide the scars on her hands. While she's fine with people seeing her stitched face, her hands are another story. She always scared to see how others react to it. They're not in the best condition. The only ones who get the chance to see her hands are Queen, Damian, and Arceus. Regardless, her clawed gauntlets are rather durable, allowing the female to catch a blade in them.

Hive Mind


Izzy and her Hive are hive-minded. Being hive-minded entails that the Hive "share" the same mind. Each can work autonomously, though they think the same thing at the same time. The members have some individuality though they are only marionettes controlled by their puppeteer. In this case, Izzy takes the role of a puppeteer. For those in the Hive, they can all see, hear, and know what the others do. All work as one, each thinks with the same mind, not as a sum of its parts. This makes Izzy useful when it comes to gathering information.

Living Hive


Izzy is a Living Hive. As you can guess from that, insects/bugs inhabit his body and have a symbiotic relationship with the plate. In exchange for Izzy protecting them and giving them food to survive, the insects serve as workers and warriors under her command. It's frightening when you consider it is unclear the exact number of bugs that inhabit his body, though it said to be more than 1000. Due to the variety of bugs in her, she is one of the more flexible plates.

Fear inducement


There's one thing that you should never do (and I mean never) do. That thing is taking off Izzy's hood. The removal of Izzy's hood will result in one to have fear induced to them. It is unclear what triggers this as Izzy's face can still be seen with her hood on. There is a possibility that it's an instinct for Izzy to release pheromones that tricks one's eye into thinking that Izzy is nightmarish in some ways. Some individuals aren't affected by this. Those people are ones that Izzy tends to be more close to such as Damian and her mate.

Bug Moves


Being the bug plate, Izzy has access to bug moves. The only moves that Izzy doesn't have access to are bug z-moves. The female's favorite bug moves are "Attack Order", "Defense Order" and "Heal Order". It makes sense considering those moves are the three strongest in Izzy's arsenal since it involves the use of a large portion of her Hive. Izzy is one of the few places that have access to everything within their type move pool. The reasoning behind this is the female having almost every single bug Pokemon with them and carrying the ability to learn through them.


Summary


Creation Era

Her name was Izzy. At least that's what Arceus told her when she opened her eyes. Juniper was born from the appearance of death and Vomrla [Bug Type Primal]. Being Vomrla's champion, Izzy was the Insect Plate. What was the purpose of her creation? She was to help ensure the world would continue to run in secret and assist in the decomposition process. Izzy is no different than how she is today. She is quirky, quiet, and keeps to herself most of the time. Her bugs meant everything to her. They were her children in her eyes. She was a unique plate as she didn't stick to one specific gender. What was the point in sticking to one specific gender? There are times where she felt like a man. There are times she felt non-binary. In terms of her relationship with the mortals, she never saw a need to interact with them.

In terms of her relationship with her fellow plates, she did care about them. While she may not show it, being with the plates made her happy. They didn't treat her unfairly and had a form of respect for her. In a way, she was that one quirky aunt that you can't help but love. When it comes to her setmates, she's one of the few that get them to do any form of work despite them being older than her. In a way, Spooky, Mr. Spooks, and Dread see her as an older sibling with her maturity. The three are very much close to the female, often going to her whenever they feel the need to complain about something. She will always listen and give whatever advice she had.

That was the thing with Izzy. She was one of the three wise plates in the group. She was a great listener that was able to give guidance on what a plate should do. Despite her age, she was an intelligent plate. In her defense, it was because she relied on the knowledge of the bugs she had with her. She was able to learn from them and take in everything they told her. After all, they were her eyes and way of understanding the world. Much like bugs, Izzy did her best to avoid involving herself in the lives of the mortals unless it was needed. They weren't as interesting as her bugs, and she wasn't a fan of them. After all, considering the number of plates death they caused, you can guess why she was hesitating to form any relationship with them.

Now Izzy never had a positive experience with Flame. At least when it came to one of the incarnations of the male. He was always so rude, wild, and cold. It was something that some of the other plates weren't afraid to admit. However, they never did anything about it. Some nagged the male, but that was about it. It would have stayed at way had Flame not killed her Butterfree. Izzy isn't sure what was going on in Flame's head when he did. Perhaps he was having a bad day and decided to take it out on the poor bug. Perhaps he did it to see her react.

All she knew is that she wanted to rip him apart.

The battle that occurred between the two was messy. Blood was spilled, and the environment the two were in couldn't endure their battle. Izzy nearly died. She got so close to death that cracks adored her body. However, she was stubborn and angry. That Butterfree wasn't just a normal Butterfree. It was one of the first Pokemon she received for her Hive. For that poor thing to die in front of her hurt her. No, it destroyed her. That butterfly was like a child to her. It was the child Flame took away from her for no reason. She refused to let Flame get away from this. This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

So she killed him.

An X-Scissor was all it took to finish the job. Don't get her wrong. She felt bad about it, and she got punished for Arceus for killing him. However, she was happy to avenge her partner. She mourned the loss for the Butterfree for years. She missed him very much. It wasn't until Firefly (the final incarnation of Flame) would help her accept the death of her Butterfree by giving her a Larvesta. The male felt so bad about his previous incarnation taking away the life of her best friend that he wanted to give her something as an apology. Needless to say, Izzy appreciates this Pokemon and raised it to the best of her ability. Of course, this didn't completely remove her dislike for Firefly. It was still there...just a bit less stronger.

POA Era-Pre Rotom Era

Nothing happened to Izzy during the ROTOM Era. Sure, she was apart of the big adventure to save the world, but that was it. It wasn't until the pre-Rotom Era where that changed. During a mission, Damian ended up being sent to another world where a version of Quinn was Arceus' guardian. With the plates, Damian was stuck in that world for a year (or a month in the Impar world). Izzy would meet Quinn's Toxic Plate, Queen. When Izzy saw Queen, the female was in love with her. She was an extraordinary beauty that she didn't know could exist. While she wasn't able to speak, she was able to communicate through gestures alone. The feeling she felt for Queen was different than what she expected. It was new, scary and nice.

Through that year alone, Izzy did all could to woo the female through methods the plates suggested. Sadly enough, all of those methods failed. Why would you trust Izzy to do them right? There was also that fear Izzy had that Queen might find her disgusting with how she looked. She wasn't normally self-conscious about her appearance, but it was a bit different when it came to someone she liked. Eventually, the female settled on giving the female a Dustox while confessing her feelings for her. The Dustox was once the mate of her Butterfree she once had. The Pokemon express interest in the female and Izzy wanted to be free of the last thing that reminded her of the Butterfree. To her relief, Queen accepted the Pokemon and returned her feelings to her. She didn't verbally say it due to her inability to speak, but she communicated all of this with a simple kiss to the lips.

Izzy was happy by this. A sweeter, shyer side was brought out of her whenever she was with Queen. She spent as much time she could with Queen. Even when Damian left the world, Izzy kept contact with her the best she could through Damian dropping by to visit or the use of a mental link. Things continued this way until Damian's fall.

Damian's fall occurred after the male was hit with Naoto's move and sent flying off a cliff. Falling into a coma, Damian was teleported away from Mi to an unknown location. However, the plates themselves were panicking as the damage done to Damian's body was severe enough that he was lying close to death's door. While he did have the benefit of reincarnation (thanks to his guardian status), the plates didn't know what would happen to them when Damian died. There was also the concern that Yveltal wouldn't be fast enough to save him. For that reasoning, they decided to fuse with Damian. While this did mean Arceus would no longer be able to use them as they were stuck with Damian, they didn't have any other options or the time needed to reflect on them. Giving a silent apology to their Creator for what they were going to do, these elemental spirits fused themselves into Damian, becoming one with the male.

Rotom Era-Our Story Era (Now)

When Damian was in a coma, Izzy was lonely. Her connection with Queen was broken, and she missed the female. She was so sad that even her bugs couldn't cheer her up. She distracted herself by focusing on taking care of Damian and doing whatever Pixel/Hyde told her to do. This would continue up until Damian woke up, recovered, and eventually (as well the plates and now Naoto) meet up with those on the neutral end of the "War of Providence". They were the ones who just wanted this war to end. When she saw Arceus Guardian! Quinn, her loneliness vanish. Excitement filled her. That excitement grew the second Quinn created a clone and had Queen take control of her. Without even thinking, the female embraced the other and sobbed, happy that she could be with her mate.

When the "War of Providence" ended, Izzy continued to maintain her bond with Queen, doing all she can to communicate with her through whatever means necessary. They would eventually have a child by Rowan, who was a bit tricky to raise given where they were. However, they did all they could to take care of him. Izzy is still the same plate she is when she was created.

The only difference was that they opened their heart to someone who was willing to love them for who she was.


Relationships


Queen

2747460?1539904319

Mate


You ever have those moments where you can't help but say, "God, I love my spouse so much"? Izzy has those often. She adores the female and gets so excited at the sight of the female. There's something about the female that makes her so happy. She's one of the few people that she feels so giddy around.

Damian Scott

929404?1539144217

Host


Izzy is one of the few plates capable of calming Damian down whenever he has his breakdowns. That has always been the case ever since she met the male. She refuses to allow anyone outside of the plates close to Damian to get near him when he has them. Izzy cares deeply for her host.

Mr. Spooks

1750364?1577152533

Setmate


Izzy cares about Mr. Spooks despite how much of a flirt and goofball he can be. Izzy jokingly likes to call the male her kid brother with how much the male looks up to her. Whenever Mr. Spooks is out with Izzy, Izzy is usually seen chilling on his shoulder. She often calls the male 'little bugger'.

Dread

15727000_1n7.png

Setmate


Izzy can never get how anyone can be bothered by Dread's laziness. Sure, it can be annoying, but it's not like he does this every day. Izzy is fond of Dread. She often jabs the male for embarrassing Spooky and grumble about him needing to be nicer to the others. She enjoys spooking the male with her bugs.

Spooky

15727007_bdI.png

Setmate


Izzy will die for Spooky. She cares for Spooky and can get a bit hissy when it comes to anyone hurting his feelings. She can be overly protective of the male to the point she is willing to get in a fight with Samael of all people if he were to disrespect the older male. As such, try to avoid doing that.

Zap

1750389?1539814808

Fellow Plate


Izzy has nothing against Zap. While the male did cause the death of two plates, she has no right to judge the male. After all, she did kill one of Flame's previous incarnation. He does often warn the male that he should be careful when it comes getting too emotional, especially with the male having the shadow virus.

Titan

1750368?1538324706

Fellow Plate


Izzy likes to consider herself pretty close to Titan. The two never argue (not that Titan can even communicate, to begin with) and enjoys being two of the passive plates. It makes their lives so much easier. The two appear to have some form of deal where Izzy would give Titan gems in exchange for any bugs Titan finds.

Gaia

15726227_uTe.png

Setmate


How could you not expect Izzy, the mother of bugs, and Gaia, the mom of the plates, to not get along? It's a match made in heaven. When the two are together, they ramble about kids and anything relating to them. Gaia is one of the few people that Izzy sees as an older sibling with how she acts.

Stone

15726232_TDb.png

Fellow Plate


Stone is like a weird dog. A weird dog that Izzy likes. They're loyal, strange, and a bit of a mess. Izzy is a fan of all of that. When she's with Stone, she's usually trying to learn more about Stone. Why do they act they do? What appealed to them? These are the questions she often seeking the answers to.

Toxi/Ick

1750388?1540324493

Fellow Plate


She's not obsessed with Toxi/Ick. In honesty, she could care less about them. To her, fusing with them feels nice. The fusion makes her feel complete and beautiful. In fairness, this could be because of how often Izzy misses being with Queen, and this is her way of coping with that for a bit.

Mi

1750383?1548356185

Fellow Plate


Mi is a lovely woman. Izzy won't deny that one. If anything, Izzy is sure she would have ended up in a relationship with the female if things were a bit different. She is fond of her time with the female. It's nice to listen to what the female has to ramble about in regards to the world. It's cute to listen to with how excited she gets.

Nor

1750379?1567204150

Fellow Plate


Nor and Izzy don't interact much. Not because they don't want to. They don't see the need to. They have a pretty neutral relationship. The few times they do interact, it usually center around talking about Mi or Nor just checking out the status of Izzy's clawed gauntlets. He appreciates Nor making them for her.

Bruce

1750370?1541700572

Fellow Plate


Bruce is Bruce. There's no way to explain it. Izzy doesn't have anything against Bruce. His energy can be a bit much at times, but she's honestly used to it. Bruce would go to her about his feelings with Samael and his worry about Samael not returning them. Izzy always tells him to take his time with it.

Pixel/Pixie

1750384?1550635022

Fellow Plate


Izzy highly respects Pixel and his ability to lead. He does his best to do whatever he can to ensure every single plate was safe and happy. Pixel was also one of the plates that push her into confessing her feelings to Queen in a blunt way. It's something that Izzy still appreciate to this day.

Hyde

1750391?1548379544

Fellow Plate


Izzy doesn't understand how can anyone see Hyde as being chaotic. He's perfectly normal to her. Then again, her standard of normal is off. The female sees the male as a friend and enjoys showing off his 'kids' to the male whenever the two are together. Izzy enjoys teasing Hyde about Pixel.

Icy

1750373?1540079935

Fellow Plate


Icy is a brat. Every plate knows that one. However, Izzy is thankful that Icy learned to avoid pissing her off. Granted, it did take the male finding that one out by removing her hood and the female unconsciously reacting with a fear inducement. She did give him a warning not to do that, and he chose not to listen to her.

Mea

1750382?1577152344

Fellow Plate


Mea is a lovely person, and Izzy would be damned if she allows anyone to hurt him (even if he's fully capable of defending himself). Izzy is the one that gave Mea the idea of the Jasmines and initially created the first 'wave' of them by giving the male one of his Parasect to help in the process

Captain Splash

1750387?1518926135

Fellow Plate


To this day, Izzy isn't sure how Splash did it, but the male managed to become the female's best friend. Perhaps it was magic or the simple fact he managed to wiggle his way into her heart with how dorky the male was when she met him. He is one of the few plates that get to see that softer side of her.

Lord Samael

1750361?1518926081

Fellow Plate


Izzy doesn't hate Samael. He's hardheaded and a bit stupid. However, Izzy never saw a reason to dislike the male. He's not entirely a bad guy. He makes himself appear that way to avoid being viewed as being weak. She tries her best to convince him that it's ok to show off his softer side. It's working.

Skye

1750386?1541180121

Fellow Plate


Izzy is a bit hesitant of Skye. Granted, that could be because of his typing and how often he jabs the female on her attempts to Toxi/Ick to fuse with him. She can't get mad at the male for the latter. If someone else was being weird around your mate, she would be hissy about them.

Firefly

1750371?1552589969

Fellow Plate


Izzy doesn't want to say she hates Firefly. She simply dislikes the male. Partially because of what his previous incarnation did and she worries the male can harm her bugs if he's not careful. She is trying his best to warm up to him. It's taking some time, but Firefly doesn't seem to mind the wait.

Ni

4627826?1564886609

Fellow Plate


Izzy couldn't tell you why in the world Ni is scared of her children. It's not as if they will kill or anything. They are sweet babies. Then again, it probably didn't help that Izzy's bugs did manage to sneak into his bed that one time. I guess that can be horrifying to wake up too. Regardless, Ni is a strange guy in Izzy's eyes.

Rowan

2942118?1567088414

Child


Izzy LOVES her child. She loves how cute they are. She loves how they act. She loves everything about her child. They're the best thing ( besides bugs and her mate) that ever came into her life. She will do whatever she can to make them happy. She appreciates how Rowan is doing their best to protect Charlie.

Arceus

10618979_4dB.png?1553148264

Creator


When Izzy first met Arceus, she knew the male was a true king. There was something about the way he carried himself that always caught her eye. In honesty, he is one of the reasons why she started a hive, to begin with. She wanted to be able to lead a group with a level of a maturity he would be proud of.
