Glitch Users and the Rumors and What Not
Okay so sometimes in my head the glitch users exist seperate from this thing and sometimes they don't and right now what I'm writing down could change at any moment because I like using my OCs as theatre performers and throwing them into scenarios
It's actually incredibly difficult for normal curses/rumors/whatever to exist as is in a pokemon dominant timeline, mostly because people's public perception goes "something weird happened? Must be a pokemon".
Hence why the most dominant type of rumors tend to just be pokemon or pokemon trainers. Glitch Users themselves qualify as rumors, especially Ketsuban, in consideration of his missingno powers
and in general already being an incredibly difficult person to encounter and document. Unless you live in kanto because then the dude basically shows up as a documented guy all over the place.
the glitch users kind of came about as a seperate idea from rumors and there's this SCP like foundation trying to contain what essentially boils down to like, world ending threats and also superpowered teenagers.
By default considering how SCP classification works all glitch users would be in Keter class. They vary on how hazardous they are. But friendliness levels aren't as varied.
It goes like this:
Danger Levels:
Dawn and Myo who are apocalypse bringers
Gold if he gets mad because his pokemon will attack
Red Bros. (Ketsuban, Wisteria) who are just little miscreants, misaligned, malcontent, and just plain mean.
Massive Power Gap
Abandonware's powers only really affect electronics but the thing is he can handle the Red bros, which makes him the most dangerous guy because they'll listen to him.
Lyra's acid rain if it properly sets off or the sunshine poisoning if it gets too hot (so if you piss her off)
May if she gets motivated enough with her time stop
Lucas if he got motivated enough and just like, activated a void and then closed it shut
Fire and Leaf have psychic powers which I guess makes them be higher up than Crystal and Brendan since it's not as reliant but they're not exactly glitch users per say...
Ragon and Ultimus are literally just there to hang out but Ragon's weather powers are emotion dependent and less than Lyra's and Ultimus is kind of just there minus the glitch pokemon that listen to him because he is a pitiable boy and has the energy of a disney princess getting random animals to attack on sight
Crystal and Brendan's powers are largely dependent on being near a battle tower but they can still clone pokemon I guess and they're the ones who can blend in the most in terms of not standing out so they probably won't be attacked on sight
Ghost Leaf is a ghost, she can't really do much, she's also location dependent on pokemon tower but she's more or less a rumor made manifest, not a glitch User
Cyan is also not a glitch user, possibly anemic, kind of spends most of his time not adventuring and is kind of afraid of Pokemon now.
"Snow" (name tentative), not a glitch user, but did however manage to collectively scam the entire region of Kanto by being really good at being Red to the point no one even realized that there was a Rumor centered on Mt. Silver that got off Mt. Silver and then just. Performed Identity Theft that was so good it tricked people who were actual versions of Red. Because we're dealing with a multiverse.
Also all of this is tentative, names might change, motivations will probably be the same, only thing that's constant is my lack of a sleep schedule.
