Nocturnal Jay

Nocturnal Jay is the creator of Tears of the Fallen (and this wiki). He's made Pokémon FanFiction ever since 2016 and currently has 3 series and 5 one-shots.

Information
Nocturnal Jay started his YouTube channel in the summer of 2016. He's watched Pokémon FanFiction for a while at that point and decided to try making his own. He was inspired to do so after seeing so many other YouTube FanFiction creators quit their stories before they're done. Jay wanted to be an example of committing to something even when life gets rough.

His first story was Kanto Summer Camp, which started his position in the Pokémon FanFiction community. He started this during his college years.

Jay is also somewhat experienced in music production. He's produced short instrumentals occasionally for his early series, later going to full songs for Tears of the Fallen. He has a SoundCloud, which can be accessed at this link.

Supporters
Nocturnal Jay takes on the spirit of a blue jay flying to spread messages around the world to change it for the better. He calls his supporters the Fallen Flock, who symbolically fly with him.

Taken from his channel:"Greetings. Call me Jay. I make Pokémon fan fiction stories.""The blue jay is a bold, noisy, and aggressive bird. When it flies, it has a relatively slower speed than other birds. This can sometimes cause it to be easy prey for predators. Jays help other small birds by alerting them whenever a predator is near. Overall, jays are intelligent.""So soar with me. Watch my stories and messages. They will mostly have darkness to cry with us and deep messages that will hopefully help us all to be better people in life. I care for everyone and the sadness we all go through. You're not alone. If you're a supporter of me, you are part of the Fallen Flock."

Projects
In total, Nocturnal Jay has 2 completed series, 1 series in progress (Tears of the Fallen), and 5 One-Shots. These are as follows:

Kanto Summer Camp
Kanto Summer Camp is Jay's first story. It is a Multi-Shipping series, meaning it focuses on several ships at once. The story centers around 40 campers who are enrolled in a summer camp located in Saffron City in the Kanto region. Characters expand from each of the first 6 series of the Pokémon anime. An intense background document was prepared by Jay in preparation for this series to keep everything in order.

One-Shots
A one-shot is essentially a story that starts and ends in one chapter / video. Playlist link to all of Jay's One-Shots: Link

By the Cedar Tree (Project 17)
By the Cedar Tree (Project 17) is Jay's first One-Shot. It's an AmourShipping story that has a more serious feel. It follows a lonely and bullied Serena as she encounters a strange cedar tree in a forest in the Kalos region. Shortly after, she's encountered by a young man named Ash. He doesn't seem to know all about him or where he comes from. Very strange things occur next as Serena attempts to solve this mystery. In the meantime, she's having a great time with him as she forgets about her problems.

The True Fears
The True Fears is Jay's second One-Shot. It's one he specifically made for Halloween. It's mainly of the horror genre, but it's not meant to scare anyone, but to send a message. The story follows Ash Ketchum and his friends as they're trying to find something to do for Halloween. Ash is moody and rude to everyone and doesn't respond to his friends trying to cheer him up. As he doesn't get control of his anger, it turns into something that causes more harm than good for his friends.

The Music Box
The Music Box is Jay's third One-Shot. It's an AureliaShipping story that has a serious mood. It follows Lillie in the Alola region. She's strangely guided to a music box in a cave one day. A song is playing on it constantly. The music box, according to legend, cannot be moved or turned off by anyone. Shortly after, she meets Ash Ketchum, a young man from Kanto who is in Alola for an assignment from Professor Oak. He befriends Lillie and the two of them hang out, as he explains the legend of the music box to her. Lillie is later met by the Mythical Pokémon, Meloetta, who seems to know more about the music box than anyone else...

This One-Shot was a surprise upload without any promotion for it by Jay.

A song was composed by Nocturnal Jay for this story. It's a representation of the song that's played by the music box. It's heard throughout the video in a stripped down version, while a full version is on Jay's SoundCloud. It's not a serious, full composition, and it was only intended to be a simple melody of what was heard from the music box.

The Messenger
The Messenger is Jay's 4th One-Shot. It's a PearlShipping story. It's a shorter one-shot that follows Ash in the Kanto region and Dawn in the Sinnoh region. The two aren't together and are seen as separate perspectives on the story. Ash sends out a Staravia with a message to give to Dawn.

Long-Distance Relationship
Long-Distance Relationship is Jay's 5th One-Shot. It's an AdvanceShipping story. It's a very brief one-shot with a serious mood that focuses on Ash and May as they try to make their long-distance relationship somehow work.
