“OTW” note (Patreon)

In a conversation with Artemis, one of my supporters, an overview of my original Pokémon story, "The Outside the Wilderness," came up, so I thought I'd share it here as well. Please use it as a hint to learn more about the world!

About the BUCK and White Fang: 

BUCK is usually calm, quiet, and mature. In the OTW, where there are many selfish members, he is very dependable and mature. He is a bit of a worrier to Bai Fang, and is the only one who can be indulgent to him. 

White Fang is quiet and gentle. He is reluctant to interact with others. Objectively speaking, she seems to be a mature, high-spirited woman. In reality, however, they are the result of timidity caused by her past.

Nevertheless, since she has never met anyone of her own kind except her mother, she will show interest in them.

About the YUKON Family:

Many of the Pokémon who live in the OTW are also those who have been hurt or displaced by humans. (Such Pokémon are hard to find foster parents for). Therefore, many Pokémon are wary of or dislike humans. 

The Yukon family treats all Pokémon equally, no matter how stigmatized or handicapped they are. 

ZOE is often a listener, pretending to be indifferent to the other person's situation. However, she is so perceptive that she seems to be able to see through all the complexities and subtleties of the other person's mind. She doesn't need to say anything, but she knows and can tell.

Perhaps because of this trait, ZOE's team has more Pokémon with tragic pasts than any other in the OTW. Any lie or concealment to her is seen through, but she dares not mention them and leaves them alone. The Pokémon on her team understand this well. 

Amber, contrary to ZOE, is extremely friendly. She is estimated to be in her twenties, but her heart is more like an innocent boy than anyone else. She has a strange charm that allows her to treat both humans and Pokémon like friends, regardless of their position or authority. She also has a lot of skinship. She has a natural innocence about her, and I guess I find her more endearing and amusing than alarming. She has a personality that seems like something out of a storybook, and sometimes it even seems unrealistic.

On the other hand, she is very observant of others. She can tell more about someone's habits and personality than they can themselves, and she sees through them in a different way than ZOE does. She uses this skill to estimate the perfect distance between her and the person she is talking to, and to get into their pocket. 

Their mother, Prof., the owner of the OTW, is strict, but respects free will except for acts that would cause discord. On the whole, she is similar to ZOE. She is powerful and has the regal demeanor of her elders. Sometimes she uses her knowledge and experience to advise others to the core. Her absolute charisma is what holds the OTW together.

She can be rather difficult to get to know, so her assistant Lilian is a reliable conduit.

The one thing they all have in common is that “they are always there for them”.

For the Pokémon of the OTW, society is full of enemies, and they are abandoned or hurt wherever they go. However, they are the only ones who stand by their side no matter how difficult or painful the situation. They are always understanding. Even if it means making enemies with many of them. This is probably the part that has earned their trust more than anything else. 

However, there is a part that they lack humanly.  It helps to protect the OTW Pokemon, but there is a part that seems to be an abnormal person from a social point of view.

If a Pokemon who got into some serious trouble and was helped by them, have seen it.
