Finally uploading my Pokésona ref sheet. Meet Dare Rublai!

A small amount of backstory for him is as follows...

I'm going to call the baby variants of Kangaskhans "Rublai", because it fits in with the thematic puns. See, "Kangaskhan" is supposed to be a portmanteau of "kangaroo" and "Genghis Khan", right? Well, I figured that the little ones would be called "joeys" or "roos" or have a name based on that. So then the other half of the name, the Khan part, was puzzling. Until I read about Kublai Khan, one of Genghis's successors. And then it just clicked. Roo + Kublai = Rublai (pronounced ROO-bly).
I explain this, because that's also his family name. And his original Pokémon species. It's just that tragedy struck him and his sister Saige when they were littler, and it made him cross-evolve into a Cubone. It's been a while, though, so he's... he's fine. I promise.

And yes, instead of carrying around his bone prop like a club, he likes to keep it in his mouth as a idle chew toy. He'd wield it as a club, sure, but also like a pipe (he doesn't smoke, but he likes to pretend), a hammer, a stake (using the sharper end), a metaphysical object capable of delivering a False Swipe to an enemy, or what have you.
He's been seen by very close family and friends without his skull helmet on. For the record, the skull doesn't belong to a family member... which raises more questions, but he never provides a straightforward answer, even to his sister.
Hopefully he's likeable?
