Physical Description

An Iron Valiant Source

Iron Valiant are mechanical, bipedal constructs whose appearance retains numerous visual traits from both Gardevoir and Gallade. Their arms consists of gauntlets with large magenta blades protruding from the sides, which they can detach and combine to serve as a deadly double-edged weapon. Their head spikes outward twice from both sides and is covered by a green curved piece resembling hair with two cone-shaped structures at the back of their head, and a teal head crest, somewhat akin to a gladiator's helmet. A magenta core serves as a centerpiece on their chest. Five petal-shaped white and green guards tinged with magenta at the ends adorn their torso, resembling a dress.

Although they are colored similarly to Gardevoir and Gallade, some eyewitnesses have claimed to see Iron Valiants that are completely gray.

History

Next to nothing is known about these bizarre futuristic constructs. They were first seen in the Paldea region, specifically in a single hidden cave within the depths of the Area Zero crater, and were observed to be very violent and cruel towards not only other pokemon but towards each other as well. The only known documentation about these creatures comes from the "Violet Book", which was authored by a man named Heath who traveled down into Area Zero with a survey team, and a tabloid magazine known as "Occulture" mentioned them in an article, claiming that they were the work of a mad scientist whose goal was to create the strongest psychic warrior. While it would turn out that these creatures were supposedly being brought from the future to the present thanks to a mysterious machine made out of tera crystals, their true origins remain a mystery.

Society

Aggressive and cruel fighters, these constructs don't have much of a society or culture to speak of. They're always looking for a fight, and will show no quarter to any opponent even if that opponent is one of their own.

Iron Valiant Names

Iron Valiants typically do not have names, but those who have been brought to the surface may adopt one. If they do, it's typically in Elvish or Sylvan. Very few choose Common names.
