Every time and place have their own set of rules and laws. After all the formalities are over, just sit back and relax. If you hear some strange music on the breeze, heed not and have no worries...
Rules - Follow Gaia and Jirachi's Wish rules in my threads. Content within PMs may be another story. Maybe. - Do not copy my layout. Inspiration for your own design is cool, though. - Please do not use this thread to chat. (Is that rule necessary at this point? xD ) - Be happy. Or leave! Or you could just leaf. *puts on leaf hat* :B
Notes - I reserve the right to add more rules. I reserve the left, too, just in case. - I reserve the right to pun. Repeatedly and beyond the point of poor taste. - Yes, those rules were basically copy-pasted from my other journal threads, why do you ask? - I like gift art and fan art. No hater art. Nobody likes that. - Sometimes the sprites hide things.
Updates - 26 September 2017: A bit slow, but journal is finally set up! - 18 September 2017: Whipped up some banners. wh-TSH! - 02 November 2016: Goppiin bounces in today!

Ghost Pumpkin is a pokémon of the Small Size Gourgeist persuasion with leucistic coloring.
Ghost Pumpkin, AKA Goppiin - Pronunciation(s): goh-PEEN - Meaning, Given Name: The pumpkin pokémon that looks like a ghost or will 'o wisp. - Meaning, Surname: N/A - Meaning, Nickname: Kind of a shortened version of 'Ghost Pumpkin' - Hidden Meaning(s): Ghost pumpkins are a squash shaped like a pumpkin with very pale, grey-green or grey-blue skin. Nickname(s) - At Home: N/A - In Town: Ghost Pumpkin or shortened to 'Goppiin,' by townsfolk who like the rumors and myths surrounding the Ghost Pumpkin. - By Friends: N/A
Physical Stats - Sex, Gender: Female, non-binary - Pronouns: She/her or they/their - Stature: As a Small Size Gourgeist, she is small in height and shaped somewhat like a pear. - Skin/Fluff: Technically a Shiny Pokémon, she is leucistic. Her upper half is pale grey-blue, lower half a grey-brown, similar to the color of rotting leaves. Her eyes are light-blue and the jack-o-lantern face glows an eerie pale-blue. - Optical Orifices: Solid light-blue in color, without pupils or sclera, and oblong in shape, stretching vertically. - Other Features: She seems to have "hair" made of husk or vine in the color of her upper half. A cowlick in the same color with a stripe of grey-brown curls up over her head. From this hair or husk, stretching downward are two long, broad arms with three fingers each. Her legs are formed from the bottom of the "pumpkin" half, short and triangular, forming a rounded point instead of a foot. This makes her very nimble, and capable of surprising hops and spins as she navigates her surroundings.
Clothing - Style: Not yet applicable.
Personality - Nature: Naughty - Summary: On dark nights Goppiin wanders alone, her green eyes frequently tilting skyward, as if trying to predict the weather. She loves the way the moon casts silvery rainbows on the gauzy clouds, or how the new moon reveals millions of twinkling stars that betray their dimensionality if one watches long enough. Poetry floats through her mind at such times, but never are they uttered except in song. This song curses the ears of those who might be close enough eavesdrop upon her faint and thready voice. Even when she seems catatonic in her languid movements, giggles might seem to surround a person as her mischief reveals a stolen purse or bauble. A bit of a klepto, she always looks innocent and/or inattentive, and rarely gets caught. After all, who can capture a dream?
- Myers-Briggs Profile: - - ESTP - - Extrovert Sensing Thinking Perceiving - - The ???. Flexible and tolerant, they take a pragmatic approach focused on immediate results. Theories and conceptual explanations bore them - they want to act energetically to solve the problem. Focus on the here-and-now, spontaneous, enjoy each moment that they can be active with others. Enjoy material comforts and style. Learn best through doing. (Myers-Briggs Foundation).
- Likes: Spicy food; the silent chill after a nighttime storm and the way the moon peeks out from a curtain of clouds; shiny, pretty, or intricately decorated things. - Strengths: Build for attack, nimble and quick on her feet - Abilities: Pickup; lovely, eerie singing voice
- Dislikes: Bitter food; getting caught - Weaknesses: Weak against Special Attack - Fears: Not discovered as yet

Gourgeist is a pumpkin-mon, based on the shape of a gourd and the face of a jack-o'-lantern. They are true symbols of Halloween and related celebrations around harvest time, representing the mischievous and sinister side.
Designation - National Pokédex Number: 711 - Type: Ghost + Grass - Species: Pumpkin Pokémon - Habitat: Town streets on moonless nights. - Diet: Carnivorous, perhaps?
Physiology - Overview: Gourgeist come in four sizes: Small, Average, Large, and Super-Size. Focus will be on Small Size, to be similar to Goppiin's physiology. - Height: 2 feet, 04 inches / 0.7 metres - Weight: 20.9 pounds / 9.5 kilograms
Behavior: May be described as sadistic, or merely mischievous. It likes to wander around on moonless nights and sing an eerie song. Anyone unlucky enough to hear it is cursed and may be captured in the gourgeist's vine-like arms where they may suffer unknown doom, at which the gourgeist sings its joy.
Breeding - Egg Group: Amorphous group - Gender Ratio: 50% male, 50% female - Gender Differences: No apparent differences. - Courtship: Unknown. Perhaps singing is involved?

Base Stats - Note: Stats of each size are different. This set applies to Small Size only. - Hit Points: 55 - Attack: 85 - Defense: 122 - Special Attack: 58 - Special Defense: 75 - Speed: 99 - Total: 494
Type Effectiveness - Damaged Normally By: (1x) Poison, Rock, Bug, Steel, Psychic, Dragon, Fairy - Weak To: (2x) Flying, Ghost, Fire, Ice, Dark - Immune To: (0x) Normal, Fighting - Resistant To: - - (½x) Ground, Water, Grass, Electric - - (¼x) N/A - Notes: 1x Normal and Fighting if Foresight, Odor Sleuth, Scrappy, or Ring Target is in play.
Base Learnset - Explosion: Normal-type Physical Attack, strongest power in the game - Phantom Force: Ghost-type Physical Attack, STAB, semi-invulnerable turn followed by attack turn - Trick: Psychic-type Status Effect, switches held items - Astonish: Ghost-type Physical Attack, attack with war cry that may cause Flinch - Confuse Ray: Ghost-type Status Effect, may cause confusion (description?) - Scary Face: Normal-type Status Effect, lowers Speed of target
Lore - Japanese Name: パンプジン, Pumpjin, probably meaning "pumpkin" + "jinn" - English Name: English is probably "gourd" + "geist" or ghost. - Pokémon Origin: Most likely, the design is based on a jack-o'-lantern with a lit and melting candle seated on top, with the cowlick serving as a flame. - Trivia: - - N/A; suggest some?

What environment is she a product of?
Family This is with regard to family as it relates to rearing, values, etc. that are directly from the family, if any. But it is unknown whether Goppiin has any. Perhaps their identities will be revealed with more RP.
History Unknown. As above, RP may reveal more than rumor and myth. This starts out as background info but may evolve as RP affects it. As such, spoilers may be made, and will then be hidden behind spoiler tags, if not referencing specific roleplays.
