Fankidtober Day 9: Aeon Kardashev
Another fullbody today for another character important in my vague plot! Aeon is Cyrus and Saturn’s son, born in the Distortion World after the events of Platinum and living there with his father for the first 5 or so years of his life, before the two of them are dragged back home by Dawn. He then eventually moves with Cyrus to Snowpoint to live with Saturn & Archer.
Aeon is a calculating, expressionless young man who loves puzzles and is deeply fascinated by uncovering the mechanisms behind some of the world’s most obscure arcane mysteries. To this end, he took inspiration from his father and ancestor’s ambitions, forming the Galaxias Research Firm, an R&D company that works extensively with psychics, explorers, archaeologists, etc to take a scientific angle to Sinnoh’s myths and the history of the universe.
In the plot, he and his subordinates act as “decoy villains”, who it later turns out hold similar goals to the protagonists, just going about them from a different angle. Aeon tries his best to be a good boss, though his stoic nature and difficulty expressing himself means a lot of his subordinates are afraid of him… you’ll find ‘How to be an Approachable Boss in 5 Easy Steps!’ type books on his office desk haha.
