CHARACTER INFO
Character Name: Lance Corporal Dororo
Character Canon: Sgt. Frog
History: Dororo’s original name is Zeroro and he was the oldest son of the chief medical officer of Keron and thus grew up in a very wealthy environment. However due to his “Weak presence” (being easily forgotten) and frequent illness (it’s unclear whether he was genuinely that ill or his mother is a hypochondriac), he had no friends until he met Keroro and Giroro, and the three soon stuck together for the rest of their childhood.
Sadly, Keroro is an absolutely horrible friend. Young Zeroro’s desperation for friends allows him to be easily manipulated, so he can be pressured into doing anything Keroro wants. And considering Keroro’s careless, short-sighted nature, this caused a lot of suffering. Giroro tried to protect Zeroro from the worst of things, but it’s not enough. Among other things, Zeroro ended up feuding with his little brother – wrongly blaming him for breaking a music box (which Keroro broke and didn’t confess until decades later) and getting hit with punishments because he ends up being the one getting caught after some mischief of Keroro’s goes wrong.
He has a lot of suppressed resentment over this, and with some suggestions from his friends about his potential to use "Completely awesome Assassination Magic", he became an Assassin for the Keron Army, and part of the notorious X1 unit – known for absolutely brutal training and a reputation for utter ruthlessness. Eventually the X1 unit was disbanded relating to how their CO becoming a criminal (details are sparse) and Dororo was assigned to Sergeant Keroro’s platoon along with Corporal Giroro – reuniting with his friends briefly before they went to earth and got separated soon after arriving.
He unfortunately was caught in a bear trap while scouting and thought he was going to die alone until a ninja girl named Koyuki found him. Instead of finishing him off like he expected, the girl freed him and nursed him back to health. Touched by the genuine kindness and falling for the beauty of “Pekopon”, he gave up being an assassin and renamed himself Dororo, deciding he wants to protect the world instead of invading it.
Dororo told Koyuki about how Pekopon was high on several aliens’ list of worlds to invade and the two started hunting down aliens and exposing them – drawing the attention of the Keroro Platoon (who otherwise had completely forgotten about Dororo). He initially rejected their offer to rejoin, angry when he realized they didn’t even look for him, but after they rushed out to save him from an enemy of the Keronians and Keroro finally confessing to breaking the music box, he rejoined on the condition that he will only help them with “peaceful” invasion plans.
AU History: Dororo is from a hidden community of angry amphibious pokemon in the swamps. Due to a vaguely remembered (and probably highly exaggerated) history, the residents are wary of humans and kept themselves hidden, though a small handful are sent out as mercenaries of sorts when other Pokemon need some extra muscle.
During the childhood selection of combat specialties, he was accidentally skipped over twice by the elders due to his weak presence, and his friends had to remind them that he exists, which between those accidents and his natural agility, they declared that he would make a perfect Ninja. The training was brutal, and he suffered greatly, but he was soon considered one of the best students of the school and had success in several infiltration and sabotage missions – though sadly he didn’t get credit as half the time they forgot they hired him in the first place!
Recently he’s been hired by some Croagunks to deal with a “Shapeshifting Frog-Hating Human” by the name of Yuuna.
Canon Personality: The first impression is he is unerringly polite – in Japanese he uses the highly formal first-person pronoun “Sessha” exclusively, and unless he’s both familiar with and upset at the person, he tends to use their full names including title to speak to them.
The Lance Corporal is a pacifist in a technical sense – he is quite willing to fight to defend others, but he swore to never take a life again, and will even go out of his way to engage in non-violent means of resolving conflict – making him an anomaly among the highly militaristic Keronians.
Dororo is extremely loyal to those that shown him kindness, to the point of putting up with abuse repeatedly, and is quite patient with people around him. He still considers the rest of the platoon to be his dear friends despite being forgotten and their ideological differences in how to take over the Earth. He very rarely loses his temper, but it is considered to be an extremely terrifying event when it does happen. Despite all the bad things that had happened to him, he is quick to forgive if the person who wrongs him apologizes or make other shows of good faith (and thus he can be easily tricked in this manner).
Despite growing up in luxury, Dororo strongly prefers a simple, hard-working life, as he chose to live in a simple, one-room hut out in the forest over staying with the others in their ridiculously high-class secret base. His hobbies reflect this nature, as he often is shown tending to his organic garden, arranging flowers, practicing calligraphy, or training with Koyuki to keep his skills sharp. His desire for self-improvement and discipline also means he askew the use of technological weapons or similar enhancements, but he does not hold it against others if they use those things.
While he’s generally quite serious and has generally low-key hobbies, he does have a bit of a playful and hot-blooded side to him. He is massively stubborn and very rarely changes his mind once it’s set – and usually only if he realized he hurt someone’s feelings because of his obstinate nature. If he has something that he simply adores and someone expresses dislike towards it – he will vigorously defend its honor to an almost absurd degree, becoming quite fired up and pushy about the subject until someone knocks some sense into him and make him chill out.
The Trauma Switch is something of a running gag for the series – due to Keroro’s utterly horrid treatment of him, and his time as an Assassin, Dororo has a lot of emotional baggage under his generally placid demeanor. If forced to be reminded of either of these things, the Trigger’s pulled in his mind and he goes catatonic – curling up in a ball and either staying quiet or murmur about the memory that caused the reaction to himself. He is fully aware that he does this and it’s shown that the Trauma Switch is his greatest fear – he doesn’t like how much he’s affected by his bad memories. Things that had triggered the trauma switch: Sports Day, game and watch systems, Keroro eating his Tempura, Music Boxes, Pachinko Machines, People getting his name wrong, the image of his trauma switch, and most commonly people forgetting that he exists.
AU Deviation: Because he doesn’t have quite the hilariously awful childhood as canon, his trauma switch isn’t so easily triggered, though he can and will easily break into tears if it feels like he’s being ignored or demeaned.
And given he knows more about humans, he would have less hilarious misunderstandings about human culture
Canon Abilities: Dororo has the abilities assigned to stereotypical anime ninjas, including the ability run and climb on walls freely, the ability to short-range teleport and leap great distances. He also makes use of log substitution tricks to avoid getting hit, creating clones so advanced that they can even cast shadows and momentarily act independently until he calls them back.
Dororo is the least inclined to ‘cheat’ using technology out of his patrol, but he does have the tools of his trade that he relies on: shurikens (including one the size of a tractor wheel), smokescreen bombs, and a sword – though it’s more of a knife for a normal-sized human.
Enlightened Abilities: Dororo is a Shiny Froakie Shifter – Water type, eventually evolving to Water/Dark Greninja with the Protean hidden ability.
In his first form, he can freely climb up even on slick surfaces due to sticky pads on his hands and feet, and leap around like a frog even in human form, including jumping right off of walls to maintain momentum. Like the pokemon, he can also create a smokescreen to escape from a sticky situation or to obscure his movements.
He also has an innate ability to be overlooked, making it likely for people to forget he’s there, but he can’t turn off this ability much to his frustration and seems to work randomly.
On his first evolution, he will learn how to use Substitution – switching out a log or a doll for him when an attack is aimed right at him, and Double Team to create shadow clones of himself to harass and confuse his opponents.
On his final evolution, on top of gaining a water shuriken, he has figured out how to force Teleport to work for him, but he can only teleport himself for a maximum range of ten feet at a time.
On non-pokemon related abilities, he is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as well as using a single-edged sword and throwing weapons and capable of moving without making a single sound. And something he calls a ‘Mail Call’ – the ability to write a message, and have it fly unerringly towards its target, if he likes the person, it just lands in front of them, if he doesn’t or he’s mad, it’ll smack them in the face.
Starter Pokémon: None
Notes/Special Considerations: Dororo will be wearing a mask 24/7 – no exceptions, even if he’s eating. Don’t ask how.

First-Person: Ah! It’s on.
This humble one wishes to ask a question about the structure of society.
Third-Person:
• What would you say the role of Pokémon is in your life?
• What do you feel your role in your city is?
• What do you seek for humanity’s future?
• To what lengths would you go to rescue your allies if they were lost in the wilderness?
• What would you say the most important occupation is within your city?
• What does the story of the Savior mean to you?
• What aspects and traits do you respect most in your individual fellow man?
• What do you look for in the Pokémon with whom you bond?
• What do you think your Pokémon respect most about you?
• The gods of old have returned. How would you be judged if you were chosen as a representative of humanity?
• A human has attacked a wild Pokémon who retaliates in defense. How do you respond and whom do you defend?
• You are alone and bereft of your Pokémon allies; upon what strengths do you rely on to see yourself safely home?
• What would you say is your greatest duty, and why?
• You plunge into the depths of ruins of an ancient civilization. What is it that you seek from the past? Treasure, technology, wisdom?
• When encountering a rare and powerful Pokémon, what is most important? Researching it, bonding with it, or defeating it? Why?
• What do you do to ensure we never again awaken the wrath of the gods upon humanity?
• What strengths make you most qualified for your role within your city?
• In your eyes, what is absolutely unforgivable?
• No Enlightened chooses their abilities - and not all are Enlightened. What type abilities would you most desire to manifest and why?
• What area do you seek to explore? The peaceful forest, in search of new, previously overlooked discoveries; the uncharted caves, in search of the unknown; or the wildest of mountain terrain, in search of danger, adventure, and thrills?
