A Sentimon is an obscuric construct in the shape of a Pokémon that is formed during the process of amokization, wherein Pavo uses charged feathers to take control of an individual trainer who is under a lot of psychological or emotional distress. It is a physical manifestation of a person's emotional turmoil and takes the form of an exceptionally powerful Pokémon of nonstandard size or appearance.

The Process

Pavo, through psychic means, seeks out an emotionally compromised individual capable of getting close to or attacking the J-Team. They then send out a feather construct that will lodge itself onto an object the target is wearing or carrying around. They would make an offer to the emotionally compromised individual, and should the person accept (refusal, though not impossible, is mentally very difficult), they will come into Pavo's thrall. After that, a cloud of obscura will surround the person, forming the sentimon construct and turning the person into a themed supervillain. The amokized person will be commanded by Pavo to do two things:

  • Destroy the J-Team
  • Capture the Aelfric siblings and the truant Schoolchild Neon.

Amokization ends primarily by external intervention. Only when the feather construct is found and is destroyed will the amokization end.

The victims of Amokization are often those within some means of finding the three intended targets or within sight of the J-Team. However, this is not always the case. Pavo at one point tempted Daisuke, a man in Galar, and gave him the means to travel to the targets in far-off Sinnoh.

Sentimon Aspects

Sentimon take the shape of a monstrous and often larger-than-average specimen of the species they emulate. They have a limited capacity for communication and speech and are, more often than not, completely beholden to the villain they were formed from. Sentimon that are based on psychic species can communicate telepathically, while those with illusion or mimicry powers can outright appear to speak in a human language. Although the Sentimon maintain a semblance of independent action from the villain they were created from, they are ultimately extensions of their host. They may also give an impression of a personality, though how much of this is independently theirs and how much a repressed aspect of their hosts is ambiguous.

Sentimon can be quite deceptive for psychics as not only are they formed from obscura, their aura signature is identical to the person they were made from. As far as a psychic is concerned, the Sentimon is part of a person and in the right circumstances can be mistaken for them. As extensions of their hosts, sentimon do not have true minds and may not be affected by psychic attacks meant to confuse or control. That said, sentimon can be confused in more physical ways through over-extension.

The Sentimon can be knocked out, but can only be truly destroyed with the destruction of the feather involved in their creation.

Mind Control Aspects

The extent of how the amokization process actually hinges on a person's consent varies; most individuals are in varying states of emotional distress and often seemingly accept Pavo's offer with very little second thought. Amokization can be sped up by consent, but this doesn't need to be the case. A person whose emotional turmoil has deeper roots will stand very little chance of resisting Pavo's attempts to control them.

Although extremely difficult to do so, it is possible to fend off Amokization. A person who refuses will be able to detach the feather by willpower alone; others will be unable to remove it via physical means. Moreover, this does not guarantee that Pavo will be thwarted. The feather itself can latch on to anyone other than the intended target, which would allow Pavo the opportunity to enthrall them as well. The feather that Amokized Tommy Petersen was intended for Louis Macraul, and the identity he assumed was initially tailor-made for Louis.

As shown by Daisuke, amokitized civilians can in turn enthrall others to do their bidding.

Trivia

  • Amokization is based on the phenomenon of the same name involving the Peacock Miraculous from the series Miraculous Ladybug. However, the way it works in the RP is a combination of the in-series Amokization and the more standard Akumatization shown elsewhere in the show.
  • Most of the Sentimon shown onscreen have had alliterative names.
  • Mimic Manipulator, due to his viscous nature and his possession of the resident Spider-Man expy, has parallels to the Venom Symbiote (at least as they appear in most Spider-Man media).
