Arceus (Japanese: アルセウス Arceus) is a Normal-type Mythical Pokémon.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it will change type when it is holding a Plate.

Like Darkrai and Shaymin before it, Arceus was not officially recognized by Nintendo until February 14, 2009, the year of its debut movie. It was officially revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.

Arceus is known as "The Original One", as it is said that it created Sinnoh and Ransei, and possibly the entire Pokémon universe, along with the lake guardians and creation trio. Arceus can only be found in the wild legitimately with the Azure Flute, which was never distributed at any official event. However, Arceus itself was distributed via multiple Nintendo events in 2009 and 2010 and the Pokémon Global Link in 2012.

It is the trio master of both the lake guardians and the creation trio.

Arceus is a white ***equine*** resembling a qilin or centaur with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. Arceus also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, which changes color along with its eyes and hooves based on Arceus's current type, which depends on the plate that it wields. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The pattern of striated gray of Arceus's underbelly resumes past Arceus's waist. Its limbs have gray undersides and extrusions at the tops of the legs. Arceus's tail is fairly like its mane in shape and coloration. According to legend, it shaped the Pokémon universe using its 1000 arms.

Arceus is thought to have created the Sinnoh region and possibly the entire Pokémon world, the lake guardians: Uxie, Azelf, Mesprit, and the creation trio: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Because of this, Arceus is thought to be one of the most long-lived of all Pokémon species. It has the power to recreate the creation trio as well, presumably to guard the dimensions when a Trainer has caught one of them. According to the anime, its power can also bring back things that it once destroyed, make certain things vanish into thin air, or to halt time.

Arceus is shown to care for and safeguard the planet in ancient times and protected it from cataclysms such as meteors, and it would show gratitude and compassion in return to those who treated it with equal kindness. Arceus does not suffer fools gladly, and it will attack in a violent rampage if betrayed or deceived. It also holds long grudges if betrayed by those it considered friends. In Arceus and the Jewel of Life, it is said to "feed" off the energy of the elemental plates. It is the only known Pokémon that can learn Judgment.

## Personality

Arceus is an ancient, yet timeless deity. He requires respect and proper address when necessary. Betrayal, lies, and injustice are known to kindle his wrathful aspect. Ignorance and inept characters can also irk him, but he prefers educating them to properly handle themselves than to rush to judgement.

In his unprovoked state, Arceus is caring, polite, and wise. Many seek his advice, or inquire for an opinion, which he gladly obliges. A mentor to a select few, Arceus will listen to problems and assess the situation before deciding on the best course of action. This has made him into a father, grandfather, or uncle figure, even to the point where he became the "adopted-father" of Stephen Weihs, Deer Queen, and Cobalt Stehnia.

That being said, those that meet him for the first time tend to find Arceus as daunting, cold, and heartless. Granted, this is mainly due to his overall serious nature, but there are those that would rather back away than carelessly approach him. Perhaps this is best for their safety.

Befriending Arceus and earning his trust is no easy endeavour. The more time one spends with Arceus, the more he gets to understand them, and register their thoughts, aspirations, and potential threat level. Arceus does not shy away from those that also are empowered. Power alone cannot strike fear in him; if anything at all can, it is his only fear- the fear of being forgotten.

The fear of being forgotten spurs Arceus on to make sure he leaves some sort of legacy behind- whether it be a kind word or action, or reproof and admonishment. This "fear", however, does not inhibit his abilities or his prowess; in fact it is not a malignant concern of his, according to his own thoughts.

## Autobiography

Birthed into a world of nothingness, raised by loneliness, matured by consequence- I have a stolid character that is continued to be shaped by the world I am now in. I shall not bore thee with the tedium of creation. Creating my subordinate children deities takes time, patience, and forethought. They are not pawns to be replicated autonomously. Building a habitat for humans and Pokémon to coexist- this too takes care.

I am usually alone.

Certainly, my children are alive and well, but they have their duties.

I suppose I can be grateful for their absence- this enables me to spend most of my time discovering others, experiencing their thoughts, search for truth, and right wrongs.

History is a footer-less page. It continues to be scribed by our actions, our intents, our thoughts, and their consequences.

Why limit one's self to the present? There is always time and allocation to advance further. No matter how insignificant a thought, or how zany an idea can seem, it matters. It has a body. If we believe in it, and put faith into it, it earns a soul. If we perish, it shall live on, provided that others bear witness of it. For such reasons, I am determined to strive on to defend and reveal the obscured truth, to help the weak and hurting, and to create the greatest treasures of all- memories.

But I digress.

My first meaningful human contact was with Kirito Yakuza, a young human male with a past of mystery. His pleasant nature revealed that not all men were inherently evil, and bent on primitive destruction of their peers. Together, we warded of foes, and had a significant bond. However, his current whereabouts and status is unknown.

I discovered the Temple of Glory in its youth, when it had only a few hundred members. The lady of the house, Alice S. Glory, spoke quite kind words. I learned that she was a caretaker of some of my creations- the Pokémon. I would meet with her on an occassional basis, usually to discuss their wellbeing and her morals. She was unsusre of her abilities back then, and her aptitude as a trainer. I assured her that she would prosper as long as she had a heart sent on justice- that is, to right wrongs and protect the innocent and weak.

There was also someone else that would regularly speulunk around the Temple. His name was Bio Raregroove Ark, a reserved, but fiery individual with a past he would rather never had. We would exchange few words from time to time.

After beholding the Temple of Glory and marveling its proven necessity, I realized that there was no place for my Creations to reside.

What if others were wandering around this social plane, unawares or afraid of the resources available?

To address this issue, I created *Arceus's Domain*. The name is technically grammatically incorrect, but the proper name was in use by another....organization.

Young creatures rose up to help establish our place in the universe. True believers, supporters, and investors in our ability and mission.

Through my realm, I obtained contact with a courtly young jackal, which in my world, we call a Lucario. His name was Cyros Ignika. His intellect and genuine interest help drive the community forward.

I also made relations with a laidback illusion fox, a Zoroark, named TheKelley.

A talkative and cynical blue psychic dragon, a Latios, also joined. His name was, befittingly, Latios.

His equally chatty friend joined, a sand dragon we call Flygon.

One day in the Temple, I found three of my deity children arguing with each other most energetically. After appeasing the conflict, they agreed to join.

Their names were Xerneas Izanami, Yveltal Hraevesengr, and Zygarde Glory.

Upon hearing this news, another excited female deity child emerged and joined our realm- a space guardian dragon we call Palkia TheArtistOfSpace.

This core nucleus of members contributed to our light in the dark sea of confused people. We became family, no matter our heritage, beliefs, or creed. Together, we grew the community, and saved others of our kind as well as supporters.

Yveltal came to see us one day, but also arrived with an idea- a question and answer forum for both humans and Pokémon.

We at the *Domain* fully supported the concept, and soon we opened a new realm, *Ask the Legendaries*.

From then on, our momentum could not be stopped.

It was a transformation from *me* to *us*.

As a whole, we became a network of trust, honor, and discovery. We humored, comforted, and talked with each other about our interests and issues. During this era, we were also open to the many questions humans presented us.

The adventure had only begun. And we all were in it to the very end, of which we were determined that there would be none.

Perhaps I will one day continue telling you our saga. It is quite abundant in trial and error, success and tragedy, and memorialized by all that were in the founding core of it all.

## Manipulative Techniques

The following abilities cannot be Traced, Mimicked, Reflected, or Copied. A deity of equal power would be required to counteract the techniques below.

### Pathos

Pathos manipulation is an immeasurable amplification of aura, whether it be that of faith, passion, or zeal. Ideally, it is to be used on a partner in battle, should they become wearied or dubious of their remaining strength. The technique is executed through passive contact. Visually, Pathos Manipulation can be described as a breeze that blows past the target's olfactory senses. It carries a familiar pleasant fragrance; the exact scent varies by the target. After inhaling the wind, the target will find themselves empowered and driven to continue on.

Pathos can be re-executed as many times as necessary, and can change fragrance if need be. Only the most disagreeable and frightening of attacks can disturb the effects of Pathos Manipulation. Some speculate that the target's power increases a hundred-fold. This has yet to be proven, for there are no recorded experiments or trials of this ability.

### Impes

Impes is a devastating technique that harnesses, controls, and directs energy of any and all forms. The potential applications for such mastery is limitless. Splitting atoms, deflecting projectiles, negating friction, or ceasing movement in any plane- there seems to be nothing that can stand in the way of Impes. Designed, practiced, and honed by Arceus after his first defeat, Impes is intended to vanquish any power-boasting threat- even if they claim to have the ability to alter boundaries.

Impes itself can be demonstrated multiple ways. In *Hominem*, Impes can simply be the work of hand gestures. As traditional equine state, Impes can be recognized by blazing green sparks in Arceus' eyes. Impes is highly dangerous, with both the skill to design and create. There is no historical testimony to previous usage of this technique in combat.

### General Intangibles

Naturally, Arceus has a mastery of the familiar intangible elements.These include, but are not limited to sound, light, dreams, nightmares, air, Space, Time, and Antimatter. Arceus can harness these elements at any time, even outside of combat. Unless angered, usually this is done to benefit others, especially the lesser Pokémon. There is no limit to how long he can harness these; some can even be done simultaneously.

## Powers in regard to Pokémon entities

### *Creatura corpus*

A traditional ability that allows me to create the body, albeit lifeless, of any organism, past, present, or future. Creating a body requires only the smallest amounts of matter, of any property, condition, or location.

### *Creatio animae*

An ability usually used following *creatura corpus*. It conjures a soul, normally pure, innocent, and naive, unless decided otherwise. The soul can be created out of another's soul, or from "scratch". A soul need only be conjured with at least the property of light, which can be self generated from within me.

### *Mutatio cursus*

A creator's command that instructs the very soul of an individual to follow the creator's bidding, willingly or unwillingly of the individual's conscious. It would require a deity of identical authority to rewrite this type of instruction.

### *Suspendere praesentia*

A creator's command that recalls the soul from within the creation's body. The body will be left behind, and the soul will be in full exposure. Though used only in the most serious of cases, usually when a creation....malfunctions, it can be used to severely punish a creature under the creator's dominion. It would require a deity of identical authority to rewrite this type of instruction.

### *Reposcerent vitæ*

A creator's command that retrieves the traces of a deceased soul, provided that it is not too late. If a soul is reclaimed, it will, of course, be missing most of its faculties. the soul must then undergo recreation to once again serve the creator and body appropriately.

### *Finem facultas*

A creator's command that immediately terminates the function and capacity of the soul. The soul will fade from within the body, and disintegrate into matter, within an earthly minute or less, from which it originated. The soul cannot be reclaimed, unless the creator uses a soul tracing technique to locate it before it is completely disintegrated. This command is rarely used; only the most insubordinate of creations would receive such elimination. It would require a deity of identical authority to rewrite this type of instruction.

## *Dei In Hominem*

From the Latin phrase, *God in[side] Man*, Dei In Hominem allows Arceus to assume a more humanoid look, without sacrificing his deity and divine abilities.

Becoming like man, Arceus thus inherits some weaknesses, most notable being more susceptible to the feeling of pain. Of course, this is not to mean that Arceus is now entirely fragile; in a sense, he is more "exposed".

Being inhuman by default, Arceus' human-like appearance is subject to change any time. Many experimental concepts are shown below; regardless of which are manifested, his attacks remain virtually the same. Some differences may be accounted for the availability of a facial orifice, and human-specific body structure, especially arms, hands, and bipedal leg dynamic.

As the master of Time, Space, Matter, and Antimatter, Arceus can alter his apparent age, anywhere from young adult to late adulthood. There is also a rare female variant (See *The MatriArc*).

Clothing for his anthropomorphic form varies; a suit can serve fine, or military regalia. In some of his humanoid formes, clothes are not needed.

A perfect balance between sapien and deity, Arceus usually uses this for his male appearances.Some formes are more equine-looking than others."The Concealed"Full control, yet self-control as well.A "younger" forme of Arceus; Asunder in the Staff manipulation."Universal Tech"- a cyper-punk gijinka forme.
### The MatriArc

In recent events, many have proposed a female version of Arceus. Many hypothesize that she would be more gentle and caring, in a filial or mothery sense. Seeing these concerns from his subjects and children, Arceus developed MatriArc, a female revisulization. The MatriArc also has anthropomorphic formes of her own, and despite her generally pacific nature, she is by no means easily dominated or a "push-over". MatriArc is genial and more considerate than her male counterpart, and seems to sport a better knowledge of human traditions, female anatomies/concepts, and motherly duties. Even so, she is incorrigible and a venerable administrator of justice.

Notable discernable physical features in her equine state include eyelashes, kinder eyes, a "slimmer" body and longer, flowing mane. Occasionally, she may have a facial orifice, usually upturned in a smile.

In her anthropomorphic mien, MatriArc has lighter skin, but not necessarily 'albino' like the second eldest daughter Palkia's humanoid appearance. MatriArc may have all white, light grey, white/grey and half-black, or full black hair. The style is usually  a 'ponytail'. MatriArc, being a mother in this state, will always have a larger bust than any of her children, and can thus wean new legendaries if need be, thanks to her ability to produce milk on-demand.

Her face is flawless, and by standard has ears, eyes, nose, and mouth. The eyes traditionally have a deep green sclera and a piercing red iris, but variations can exist; a change of Type can cause this.

Clothing for MatriArc consists of a silk white robe, a three piece female suit, or the ███████. The exact oufit is chosen to fit the situation.

Various formes and concept visuals are shown below.

## Ties to the SCP Foundation

Settling in the world of mortals was no simple task for Arceus. Confidential research shows that the *Secure, Contain, Protect. Foundry*(The SCP Foundation) was conducting research in regards to the concept of divination. It was proposed that if the foundation could force Arceus into submission, they could engineer ways to extract or duplicate his divine properties. During their studies, they discovered Arceus' point of arrival and prepared for it in advance.

Within 18 hours of arriving in their mortal plane, he was greeted with an armed response team. Provoked, Arceus eliminated ███ Class B personnel before vanishing in a gaseous vapour. It is noted that explosives and ammunition affect no harm on him, as he seemed to simply change his biological makeup to render them useless.

Arceus was later discovered near the ██████████████ on ███████  ██, ███. Instead of aggressive response, researcher Dr. Fowler and his underlings approached the equine being in attempts of diplomatic concurrence, with their speech and thoughts relayed via psychic means, as Arceus does not have a vocal orifice.. After excrutiating mental torment for the Doctor, the bemused Arceus consented to visiting the SCP branch in ████████████, ████████. However, he was later betrayed when Elite personnel contained him in a mobilized cinderblock cell. Unfortunately, this proved futile, as Arceus easily blasted the container apart with his mythical powers. During the course of the day, several attempts were made to contain him; a plexiglass prison with walls half a mile thick, one of SCP's strongest standard containers, succeeded in thwarting his attacks. This later failed when Arceus manipulated workers into releasing him, via unprecedented psychic abilities.

Precautions were made the second time he was contained, this time with an underground cell, securely walled with airtight alloy walls, an alloy made of lead, cast iron, and embedded 'veins' of mercury and deadly poisons.

36 minutes later, a guard in the surface guardhouse reported a sighting of Arceus phasing up through the ground and away into the night, unharmed and semi-transparent.

The SCP Foundation has since then failed, of similar manner, in every ensuing capture attempt. As of █████████, 19██, SCP has lost ███,███ personnel, from Elite to Class D, due to his counterattacks. Various locations, tecnology, and even other SCP entities used for captures were destroyed or made worthless in the attempts, costing the organization over $██,███,███,███,███.██ USD. The Board fo Directors agreed to terminate the Divination project and retract further funding towards its research.

Arceus was almost forgotten, by the time he returned to their presence in the year 20██.

Through immeasurably strong psychic power, Arceus physically compelled the leaders against their will to see him in person at the island of ██████████, off the coast of ████████. He then chose Dr. ███████████ and channeled his ultimatum through him. Arceus warned of more dire consequences should they resume their pursuit of him. He did not arrive this time to torment them, but to educate, he said. Should they turn against his benevolence, he would ensure their total destruction. More surprised than irked, the foundation assigned him a higher-than-normal O5 rank, as his unique self could safely interact with SCP entities without harm, and terminate them if needed. Arceus was also summoned for critical breaches and rescue operations.

Though he himself does not reside on any SCP grounds or locations, he is still a respected and feared entity of the Foundation, and perhaps the most hushed discussion in their history.

He is also the only recorded entity to completely foil the efforts of the Foundation, but not the first to collaborate with them.
