My stench varies from mild inconvenience to nuclear-level toxicity. Generally speaking, however, I always smell disgusting.
My standard stench level has been described as similar to that of a thousand Skuntanks even from a distance of six feet away.
I am only capable of self-controlling my stench to the extent of maintaining it. In other words, left to my own, my stench will always be either the same or will increasingly worsen over time.
In order to reduce my stench to its lowest possible level, I must undertake significant effort. This typically involves hundreds of cans of strong deodorants, several short showers (why short? See my Design Reference), and consuming Pecha Berries as well as squashing them onto my body. As I rarely possess any significant quantity of Pecha Berries, this is usually reserved for special occasions such as black-tie events, or if I’m gathering with a large group of friends or close companions who aren’t very keen.
My body creates more toxins whenever I get emotional in any way; or if I use any Poison attacks. This increases both my stench and my toxicity. Other ways I become more stinky are through the use of stink bombs, covering myself in dirt and sludge, and general poor hygiene.
Artistic Depictions
Any medium that includes me should always make some attempt to make reference to my foul stench, unless the story or scenario depicted specifically relates to me attempting to control the stench (see above), or it would be otherwise inappropriate.
The stench may be implied, as opposed to clearly visible, only if the story or scenario makes it clear via other means — for example, through the facial or bodily reaction of other characters; or via character dialogue or other wording used within the work. Note: if, as part of the scenario, my stench is implied to be significantly strong, it may still be recommended to use a visual cue in addition to the implied.
In all other cases, adding a visual cue as to my stench is strongly recommended, for example through the use of:
Gas Clouds
Fumes
Distortion of the air around myself
My attitude to my stench
Mostly for humorous effect, while I am fully aware I stink, exactly how aware I am can vary. Sometimes I might think I only stink a little, when I’m actually really horrendous. Other times, however, I am not only fully aware of being intensely foul, but am very prideful of the fact.
In fact, I loooooove being told I stink. What I love even better, though, are descriptions of just how much I stink! So feel free to go into detail about just how severely I gross you out, and don’t worry about causing me any offence — the more disgusting, the better!
That being said, even though I like to be disgusting, I don’t seek to actively discourage people from being around me; and I get very upset if my stench or grossness keeps people away.
For this reason, and as said above in “General Notes”, I am fully willing to try to reduce and control my stench if a situation requires it, or it would be polite to do so. I’ll even accept help with this, so long as it’s meant from a place of care and concern and not out of malice.
With all that said, I consider my truest and best friends to be the ones who DO find me disgusting or my stench unbearable, but will tolerate it at all costs. If you’re willing to stick around and stay close to me, even when I’m at my absolute worst, you will have my undying loyalty and love.
