A shiny Ho-oh who lives a life of solitude within Cathedral Drop. He prefers not to meddle in trivial affairs of others. If he ever was to leave the cathedral, residents of Alomomola Bay wouldn't miss him, his exit being made known by the rainbow trail he leaves behind. Many Pokemon have come to call it "Prosphora's Blessing."

As the Pope, Prosphora has many duties, however his most pivotal being placatel the war between light and darkness. To him there always has been war and always will be, however this does not disuade the Ho-oh from completeing his task. The cause of this war is unknown to him, however it's influence is not. Acorridng to him "There is a pervasive sort of cloud that has been resting over the land for centuries, causing more and more Pokemon to commit vile acts against others for no reason whatsoever. It’s caused much extra work for my paladins and for the musketeers. Pokemon’s lives are becoming more jumbled and chaotic."

Prosphora is immortal, and has been reborn many a time. With each reincarnation, he loses some of his memories, but has them restored with a reading of his previous life's memoirs. Before this life cycle, his colouration has been that of normal scarlet-hue. However this time, he is golden. Prosphora's alternate colouration may be only a spectacle to regular Pokemon, however to Prosphora and his followers, it symboloses something on a much grander scale. The Ho-oh himself claims that his colouration denotes a more significant purpose--that his actions will directly beneift and influnce the "Creator" more closely.

It seems that Prosphora has the power to sense when evil looms over a particular place.

Prosphora seems to have a close relationship with Merlot, one which the Lugia denies. However, it would appear that he was closer to her father, given his castigation of her and her sedentary attitude during Sorbet's rampage.

Here's one of Prosphora's favorite tales. He insists this one is more fact that fiction however many Pokemon have yet to believe him:

"In the beginning, there were a trio who existed outside of time and space, brought on by our loving Creator who put all of us into being. He (and I say he only because there is no good word to express both He and She) was not perfect, however, but His benevolent heart engulfed the world all the same. In His error, seeds of darkness spread slowly through the world. In addition, His effort of creation was so tiring that He realized He was soon to perish unless something was done.

This would not do. So, he bode His time and visited many worthy (and at least one unworthy) souls in order to stash Himself away, giving so that he might also take (for something may never come of nothing). And so, it was done."

Mission 5

During the same event After Sorbet was pushed into the Creeping Forest, Prosphora appeared to quell the beast. Inciting a chant in a language unknown to modern ears, Prosphora near-effortlessly reduced Sorbet into his previous form of the God Stone. However, because of the lack of aide (presumably from Merlot), Sorbet's sleep is less-stable and he is able to be more easily awakened.

In light of recent events, Prosphora has entrusted vigilance of Tao Village under Gabriel, the Archbishop under Prosphora. Gabriel has even set up a shrine to the Creator, Divine Arc, as a place of worship.

Mission 7

During Mission 7, Gabriel gave Maple the idea to pass out food and homemade trinkets to those who lost a team member in the Illusory Forest.

August Tasks 2013

On behalf of the Order of the Sun, Gabriel asked guild members to perform some tasks.

For Merchants, Gabriel asked for guild members to go to villages and towns where members of the Order reside and collect tithes. This was worth one point. In addition to this, Merchants were also asked to travel to Mossy Village and retrieve wooden reliefs Prosphora had commissioned. Once delivered to Cathedral Drop, teams were given one point.

As for Rogues, Gabriel extended an invitation to the Cathedral so if any guild members had any guilt plaguing their thoughts, they may go to confession and earn one point for doing so. Another option was for guild members to go to Alomomola City and stop the city's security force from taking money from the church. Such action was rewarded with one point.

For Rescuers, Gabriel asked members of the guild to travel to the Cathedral and spread their guild's teachings to the orphans there (without making the children want to go on dangerous adventures). Telling virtuous stories would earn a team one point. Another task for this guild was to attempt to heal an ill Butterfree at the Cathedral. However, if teams were unable to retrieve the final ingredient for the medicine, they would have to make sure the Pokemon's final hours were comfortable and inform the family of their loss in Mossy Village. This was worth one point.

Open to any guild member, Gabriel asked for help to sew together shawls that are worn by members of the Order of the Sun. This was worth one point. Also for another point, members could join the Order of the Sun once they displayed good faith. Joining the Order qualified teams to gain one shawl.

Reluctantly, Gabriel informed guild members of two other religions who were welcomed at Cathedral Drop; the Path of Shine and the Path of Rain. Two ambassadors arrived at the Cathedral and were assigned a single room to set up their stand, however, the style each side wanted clashed with the other. Guild members were asked to help both religions and decorate their embassy room. In addition, they may join one of these religions, all for one point.

Fresnel's Error

In her youth, Mary was once a citizen of Steel City and friends with Fresnel. She was also training under Jules to be an engineer, a rare opportunity held only by females in the city.

She arranged with him to speak more on the matter the following day after her schooling.

Fresnel's Error

Thomas had come to Steel City to speak of Prosphora and the Order of the Sun. While Fresnel was unimpressed by his words, his best friend, Mary, was very interested in learning more on what the Rhydon had to say about what was outside Steel City's walls. Satisfied with her enthusiasm, Thomas encourage Mary to see him again before he left the city.
