So, the “story” section here is pretty short and vague (because it’s just the flavor text from his in-game character page), so to elaborate on that just a little bit: The Millennial Tree was an ancient (potentially millions of years old, despite the name’s implications) tree which had, over time, developed self-awareness and a degree of magic power. Basically, this tree was a god, in a world where the main sapient species are living, thinking cookies.

The “scarlet curse” referenced was a curse cast by Pomegranate Cookie, acolyte to the Certified Metaplot Big Bad, Dark Enchantress Cookie, which brought afflicted beings’ “darkness” to the surface, effectively turning them evil. The Millennial Tree put itself to sleep to keep itself from wreaking havoc on the world under the curse’s effects, but was revived by a small group of young Cookies, took the form of a Cookie, and proceeded to blast away the curse with a time laser and force Dark Enchantress and Pomegranate to retreat. Now he is here, awake, and determined to save the world in his new Cookie form.

Personality: The Millennial Tree is an ancient and incredibly powerful being, having observed nearly everything on its home continent since its formation, and survived it all - and it shows in Millennial Tree Cookie’s attitude. With the vast stretches of time he’s observed, he’s developed a gently serene attitude that sometimes borders on flippancy; most of what is happening around him at any given time doesn’t seem of much concern in comparison to his own lifetime, and very little strikes him as a true threat to himself. Even after Pomegranate Cookie’s curse on Dark Enchantress Cookie’s behalf forced him to put himself to sleep, he doesn’t seem to consider Dark Enchantress Cookie herself a true threat, describing her plans to cast the world into darkness as “amusing.” Though he will take conflicts seriously in the moment, at least as much as it takes to resolve them, he’s basically unbothered again as soon as they’re over.

Despite that, however, he doesn’t overlook or ignore the shorter-lived beings around him or the minutiae of those lives; after all, he’s used his power to protect the Cookies living around him for centuries, and seems to take on an almost paternal attitude toward them. (Perhaps the most direct example of this is Wind Archer Cookie, the direct creation and protector of the Millennial Tree.) As such, he feels responsible for the continued protection of his world and the Cookies in it, however petty any given threat may seem to him personally; after all, he’s observed for thousands of years, but those millennia were made up of countless individual lives.

Given the importance of those individual lives, he is also willing to do effectively whatever it takes to protect the world they exist in. Obviously, he can’t expect to save every single person Cookie. However, if he’s confident that something is For The Greater Good, he won’t hesitate to go to fairly intense lengths to pull it off and fulfill his mission of protection - even if that means putting himself to sleep for a period of time he couldn’t be sure of to protect the world from himself, or just… using a giant “purifying” time laser to vaporize whatever stands in his way. Not that he does that often, unless you take gameplay as canon, which it likely is not… or else he’s just deleted a lot of cute little mouse farmers from reality.

Victory Road Sample: [The PokeGear’s camera flicks on, and, for a moment, the whole frame is taken up by… what looks to be a soft, muddy equine muzzle. The Pokemon huffs, vapor clouding the camera for a moment, then it picks up the Gear in its teeth and trots it toward its Trainer - not that said Trainer is visible until the culprit drops the Gear on the ground and brays at him.]

What do you have there, Earth Colt?

[A man who might be around his forties, maybe older - maybe the consistent dark brown of his hair would be a hint, if his eyebrows and lashes weren’t so starkly white - picks up the Gear, such that his thumb lands right over the camera for a few moments. The only reason it moves is that he starts turning the device over in his hands, staring down at it with some concern in the moments that his face is visible.] Ah… this was in the pack that woman gave me, wasn’t it? I’m afraid I’m not… sure what it is.

[Earth Colt brays again, and the camera jumps as he bumps his Trainer’s hands with his nose.] Do you know? If it’s… some kind of recent technology, you may understand it better than I.

[His Mudbray snorts. Buddy, do you see any thumbs on him, it’s a miracle he got the camera on to begin with. Millennial Tree Cookie answers apologetically, still examining the Gear with his brow furrowed.] I am sorry, but such things have never been within my knowledge… is its use really necessary? I’m sure we can find our own way without the use of this device, whatever its purpose may be. That woman said we are to walk this route to the nearest town, correct? There are sure to be more answers th--

[Aaand then the camera flickers to black. Looks like he found the “off” button, at least.]
