History
Solren Originated on December 3rd, 2017. A user by the name of Thonk was playing a game of "who's that pokemon" where's he'd draw a part of it and leave you to guess. On one turn, he draws the eyes of a solrock. The participants immediately guess as such and Thonk, in a rebellious state, misleads them by drawing body of a solosis under the guise of a different mon. After said game, Thonk decided to play with the drawing, adding legs and a top hat. He asked to give this new creation a name. marsroverII, another user who joined the server that very same day, gave it the moniker "Solren, The pokemon gentleman." Thus his identity was established! Soon after, User Paperclip made a spritework rendition of solren. One that caught the eye of the mod at the time, National.

National made a word that if said sprite were to be made transparent, it'd be made into an emote. mars did so for Solrens sake, but no word was recieved on the matter. Thus began a long and arduous campaign from the members of the server to immortalize the gent into their community. There was fanart, photoshops, pokemon in lockes named in spirit of him, and always mention of how nice it would be if he was added to the emote roster. Mods still had not acknowledged any mention. This continued for 2 months until one mod stepped up to speak of it, Tanuki Tales. His initial impressions were negative and saw no use in it. It was then that Members voiced their disagreements and explained his usefulness in identifying things of class and showing approval for others. After this, mods started to take notice of demand and finally made it into an emote.



People rejoiced in their newfound expression and scattered it throughout the server. After a while, even Tanuki grew to find pleasure in his appearance, and all was well.
