This is the thread containing the rules and profiels for the BW: Gray Areas role play. For the thread for actual roleplaying, click here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “It’s not all black and white, there are some gray areas.”
Following the legendary events which took place at N’s castle, Team Plasma disbanded.
Team Plasma’s King N, the black hero, joined the white hero in returning Zekrom and Reshiram to Dragonspiral Tower, where the two dragons then took the form of the black and white stones respectively.
N then set off for lands far away from Unova, setting on a journey of his own. One in which he would clear his mind of the events leading up to deciding battle of Reshiram vs. Zekrom. A journey in which he could re-evaluate his beliefs which, since childhood, had been engraved in his brain.
The white hero joined forces with International Police Officer Looker, and arrested 6 of the 7 sages.
Ghetsis, leader of Team Plasma, was unable to be found. Rumor has it that he wandered deep into a cave, and has yet to be seen. Truth is, he indeed is deep within Mistralton Cave, working on recruiting legendary pokemon Cobalion to help achieving his goal of separating pokemon and humans.
The Shadow Triad, like Ghetsis, have yet to be captured. They once appeared before the White hero, admitting they even they are unaware of Ghetsis’s whereabouts, however still remain loyal servants to their leader.
Now, the Unova region is once again at peace, and trainers are free to embark on journeys of their own with no worries of Team Plasma.
However, little to Unova’s knowledge, Ghetsis will return, and with the help of the Shadow Triad and the legendary Cobalion, Virizion, Terrakion, and Keldeo, he will continue to achieve his estranged goals.

Villains
Ghetsis – Having disappeared after the battle between the White and Black heroes, Ghetsis continues his operations underground. He aims to recruit Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo to help with his “pokemon liberation.”
The Shadow Triad – Although they see little harm between the comingling of pokemon and humans, they remain loyal to Ghetsis and will abide by his beliefs. The cause of their loyalty to Ghetsis is unknown, especially since he shows very little concern for their feelings.
Cobalion – Long ago, a conflict led to pokemon feeling betrayed by their trainers. Cobalion led pokemon in a revolution against trainers. Since the conflict, Cobalion has had a huge distrust in humans.
Terrakion – During the war caused by humans, Terrakion came to the aid of Cobalion by providing shelter to the pokemon whose homes were lost due to the war.
Virizion – Like Terrakion, Virizion also came to the aid of Cobalion and fought to help protect pokemon from the harm of trainers.
Keldeo – Having been born during the conflict between pokemon and trainers, Keldeo was raised to feel a distrust towards trainers. Like N, Keldeo has been sheltered all life, and knows nothing but the morals which were engraved in its head.

Rules
1. No god-modding,
2. Pokemon can learn egg moves, move tutor moves, and TMs/HMs through level up, but they may not learn moves not normally learned by that species.
3. Pokemon may have their dream world abilities.
4. You may catch pokemon not normally found in Unova.
5. If you’re not playing as a new trainer, wait until later in the region to bring back your reserves. For example, don’t use your Aggron from a previous journey when you’re only at Nuvema town.
6. Your pokemon may have more than 4 moves. 7 is the max for now. However, the amount of moves they know should be in accordance with how far you are in your journey. For example, your pokemon should have 6 moves when you’re only at the first gym.
7. Even if the RP has already started, you can join at any time. You can either start from the beginning and post a lot until you're caught up, or jump in at the same point of the adventure as everyone else. Just include a short summary about what's happened before then.
8. Have fun! I’m looking forward to RPing with you all. 9. Pokemon may have up to two abilities. I understand that the combination of certain abilities may make some pokemon too overly powered (for example, Tropius with Chlorophyll and Solar Power), so if such situations arise, we'll come up with a solution at that time.
10. Pokemon moves can be combined, so long as it's a believable combination. For example, combining Aqua Jet with Ice Beam to make an Ice Aqua Jet works, but combining Solar Beam with Hydro Pump to make a stream of solar energy mixed with water does not work.
11. Move combinations should deal damage as only one type. For example, Ice Aqua Jet would be an Ice type move. This way, Golem wouldn't be receiving x4 damage from the super effective Aqua Jet and then another x2 damage from the super effective Ice Beam.

Character Name: Aar (Aaron) Age: 13 Occupation: Trainer / Thief Bio: Aar renamed himself after his father abandoned him at age 9 in order to pursue his Pokemon career. Left on the streets alone, Aar was sick and homely. On a rainy night, Aar hid underneath the Driftveil Drawbridge where he met a family of ducks. A Farfetch'd and a Ducklett nesting during the night. Aar befriended the two Pokemon and swore to become a great Pokemon Master in order to one day reunite with his dad and show him how great he truly is. Current Pokemon: Ducklett - ability: Big Pecks, Hydration - moves: Air Cutter, Bubblebeam, Rain Dance, FeatherDance. Moewth - ability: Technician, Pick Up For story: Quote: Name: Twist'dPokemon: MewothMoves: Taunt, Hidden Power, Assurance, Fake Out, Faint Attack, Slash, Shadow Claw, and Night Slash.
Biography: When Twist'd was born his twin died cuddled next to him, but he was biting his neck, and now he feels as if it was an omen. Twist'd could never sleep through the whole night, and would wake up screaming periodically. If Twist'd could tell the world one thing it is that true brothers always stick together. Twist'd was born blessed with Hidden Power, and his power allowed him to connect with his late brother in what seemed unconscious at first glance, but upon close inspection, shows to be both brothers in complete sync.
Gender: MaleSpecial Traits: Twist'd the Meowth was born with Heterochromia iridum. A condition where one iris is sometimes a completely different color than the other, but Twist'd's condition has that both eyes are identical but they are brown eyes with a blue halo surrounding the retina. Twist'd's eyes are not the only part of him that tends to his name. His body has a light underbelly and a darker top that twists and nooks to the tip of his swirling tail.
Region: Unova Personality: [From bulbapedia(Meowth are very fond of anything round and shiny. As such, they have been known to wander about city streets and pick up anything that is round and shiny—coins in particular. Although they are apparently not nocturnal, they spend most of the daytime napping.)] Twist'd keeps to himself whenever he can and will enter transcendence multiple times a day. During this time he will unlock his Hidden Power and utilize it in order to communicate and sync his body and mind with his brother.
Pic:  Badges/Ribbons/etc: None Box Pokemon: Scraggy, Purrloin, Farfetch'd, Persian. Other: LOTS OF ITEMS STOLEN!

Amigo PhD "Nerfed" Ability Combinations
Amigo PhD's Tepig - Blaze/Reckless - Once Blaze is activated, Fire-typed recoil moves no longer receive the boost from Reckless. That's not even that powerful though. I mean he would go out of control the ability is reckless if he missed he would hit something else and knock himself out. DOnt ban the ability just think about how it would work in the real world. But its your rp I a merely saying. I have no real issue with obliging.

But its your rp I a merely saying. I have no real issue with obliging. I would have to agree, here. Yes, it would make Flare Blitz extremely superpowerd, but it's incraeased damage would mean increased recoil. I think that the combo is fair, and shouldn't be nerfed.

Alright then, thanks for your input, guys. I suppose you're right that the recoil makes up for the power boost. I'll go ahead and change it.
