A long, long time ago, a Toxtricity Bestia and an ogre came to Village of Kitakami within Haifipas from a land that is said to be blessed by the Gods. The people of the village feared the Toxtricity and the ogre, who looked so different from them. As such, they refused to let the travelers come anywhere near the village. The Toxtricity and the ogre were saddened that the villagers did not welcome them but they did not push their luck. After all, they were happy just to have each other. They settled quietly in a cave on the mountain, making that darken void a home for the two of them. There was only one villager who pitied the two travelers: the village mask maker. He made several masks for the Toxtricity and the ogre. The masks were brilliant works, adorned with gems the Toxtricity brought from somewhere far away. By wearing these masks, the travelers could hide their true faces and mingle with the villagers. The Toxtricity and the ogre were overjoyed. They thanked the mask maker for his kindness. Wearing the masks, the Toxtricity and the ogre started secretly joining the village festival. The mysterious pair soon became the talk of the village because of their brilliant masks. In fact, rumors about them quickly spread far and wide, even to distant lands. But rumors of exquisite, shining masks attract more than just innocent curiosity...A group of greedy Gods soon made their way to the village of Kitakami. These Pokémon sneaked into the cave in which the Toxtricity and the ogre lived and tried to make off with the masks, which were carefully stored away. The Toxtricity happened to be there. He managed to hold on to one of the masks, but he was not strong enough to protect them all. The greeydy Pokémon stole the other three masks. Several hours later, when the ogre returned to the cave, he found his beloved home in ruin. All that was left were the signs of a struggle and a teal mask. The ogre donned that mask and went down to the village, perhaps to search for his friend. He found the greedy Pokémon there, gloating over their stolen masks, and defeated them. The villagers, of course, had no idea what was happening nor why. All they saw was the raging ogre and they felt great fear. The villagers thought the three Pokémon had fallen trying to protect the village from the ogre. To honor their sacrifice, the villagers named them the Loyal Three and interred them with care. Wounded and weak, the ogre returned to his cave-alone and with great sadness.

This is the story of Haruto. However, this is only the surface level summary of his life as there is more to this demigod that meets the eye. What has lead him to Kitakami? What is his friend? Why was said friend the one responsible for him? Why are Gods bullying one of their own? So many questions.

It's not uncommon for a God to have thralls. Thralls have their fair share of uses such as being the eyes of a chosen deity or doing whatever tasks that is asked for them to do that a God may have the inability to take care of as a result of being busy. For most of Nox [a Bestian Toxicrity]'s life, being a thrall was what he was used to being. With his parents abandoning him when he was a child, he was lucky to be found by God of Fertility and Family [Tulio the Manaphy]. The man was willing to use his time to ensure that he was able to live his life to the fullest undearneath his wing. The option for him to leave was always there, but Nox never bother to take it. In fact, he decided to take on a thrall role for Tulio. Most of his time was spent ensuring that young mortals would end up in places where they can grow when left abandoned by their parents. Sometimes, he will even raise them for a bit until they were old enough to move on. This has been Nox life for decades and something that he was good at. It was why that Tulio selected him to help raise a new demigod that was forged by the hands of the God of Healing and Prophecy [Orion the Calyrex]. The new demigod would serve as the eventual God of Nostalgia with the eventual goal being for him to be a form of balance between life and death.

This new demigod was Haruto the Ogerpon.

For five years of Haruto's life, Nox was Haruto's older brother. Nox never rushed Haruto when it came to learning about the world and what it means to be a God. Haruto was a child, and Tulio always taught Nox to never rush a child's growth. This was very important when it came to Haruto as nostalgia was going to end up becoming his main title. Together, Haruto and Nox would travel the world together without much of a goal in mind. For Nox, he wanted to build memories for Haruto. He wanted to try out as many things as he can in hopes of making those starry eyes of his sparkle in delight of what he was seeing. Sometimes, those memories were bad. Sometimes, those memories were good. For Nox, it didn't matter to him as long as they were balanced. Memories allow for one to grow as a character, and that was essential for Haruto. The boy needed to learn how does memories affect the world and what to do while dealing with them.

However, Nox would eventually realize that Haruto needed a place that he can call home. A place that he can associate his most positive memories with. That is why this man went to the Village of Kitakami. He hoped that the village would be so willing to accept them into their land. To his sadness, they were not accepting. The villager were quite wary of them espesically Nox due to his Bestian blood. As such, they did not allow the two of them to live in their village. Not wanting to turn a sad situation into a hopeless one, Nox and Haruto decided to head to the mountains, where they would convert a cave into their new home. While the villagers weren't accepting of them, they were still happy to be with each other. However, there was a village that wasn't as wary of them. That village was the villager's mask maker. The mask masker made four masks for the pair with Haruto infusing them with tera shards that has been gifted to him by God of Creation and Origin [Aipis the Arceus]. Overjoyed by their new masks, Haruto and Nox thanked the man before using these mask to go to and from the town. The pair would become the talk of the village due to their masks with rumors spreading far and wide about their masks. These rumors of their mask would catch the attention of three greedy Gods: God of Hatred and Desire [Towa the Okidogi], God of Dread and Education [Satoshi the Munkidori] and the God of Despair and Persuasion [Rika the Fezandipiti].

With the chains being touched by the hands of the God of Greed, Satoshi, Towa and Rika couldn't help but make their way to Kitakami in hopes of claiming these masks as their own. They happened to strike around the time that Haruto had been away from home, gathering some berries in the surrounding area. Howeve, Nox was there and ended up encountering the three unruly bunch. The Gods cared little about Nox connection to Tulio and fought against him as they tried their damnest to claim those masks. Despite Nox's best attempts to stop them, he would fail and be gravely injured as a result. Taking advantage of his defeat, Satoshi, Towa and Rika grabbed the treasure they sought for and left Nox's dying body. Unknown to them, they only managed to grab three out of the four masks that Nox with the Teal Mask being hidden away thanks to Nox's quick thinking. With his dying breath, Nox laid there, trying his hardest to stay awake long enough to at least say goodbye to Haruto.

It would be hours later that Haruto would returned. When he came home, he was greeted by his home in ruins and his adopted bother lying in a pool of his blood. Haruto would rush to Nox, who would quietly explain what happened to him and plead with the boy to return to Tulio and not seek revenge for what happened. Then with a final wheeze, he died. The light in Haruto's eyes faded as the fairy typing that the boy once had melted away to become that of the ghost type as a small part of him died and his malice materalized in a strong hatred. He would find the Teal Mask and hunt down Satoshi, Towa and Rika. Upon encountering them, he would attack and lash out against the three despite the strength that the three should have to overcome him. His rage only pushed him harder and harder until he managed to knock them out.

Before he had a chance to break their bodies, the village of Kitakami stopped him and shamed him for what he done. They didn't know the reasoning behind why he lashed out at these Pokemon and thought of him as a raging monster. From a mixture of shame of realizing he was going against Nox's words and how alone he was, Haruto would flee back to his ruined home as the three Gods he defeated were declared as being heroes and earn the title of the Loyal Ones. It has been over a year since that event and Haruto has turned to a life of mischief and chaos, where he made the villagers and the Loyal Ones a living hell. This ferals in the mountains became his friends and taught him how to grow stronger. A day would come where a group of Pokemon would enter Kitakami with some being apart of a "guild". From that group, a young boy caught Haruto's eyes. A boy that Haruto would lean on in hopes of getting the truth of what happened out there....and to get one step closer to having family.
