Twas a simple idea I had years ago that is going to be polished and acted upon here
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The land was divided into 16 kingdoms, each grand in its own special way. Pokemon of the kingdom's primary type were welcomed, even if their appearance was unusual and frightening. Sometimes they fought, sometimes naught. But everyone was at relative peace... except for some...
You may have noticed I declined to mention two typings in the Pokemon world. Well, for one, Fairy Types are like elves, the primary and secondary types have a rumored village deep within the mysterious forests (Although it's not uncommon to find secondary Fairy Types making a life with their primary type's kingdom)
Yet the Dark Types...
Primary and Secondary, all Dark Types are feared, hated, and excluded from normal life. Sighting one is never good for the Dark Type, often resulting in public humiliation before banishment to the dark forest. (Named as such due to the overwhelming amount of Dark Types thrown there.)
Dark Types were unknown, hiding among other Pokemon, paid no head as they simply lived. Until a notorious band of unknown Dark Types taught their secrets to the Ghost and Steel kingdoms, teaching them to resist and damage the Psychic Types who had been the strongest type of them all for generations.
That is where our story begins, you, a Pokemon from a Kingdom, living in fear or hatred of the Dark Types, or as a Dark Type yourself, plotting or moping within the Dark Forest or simply trying to hide within your primary kingdom.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Rules:
- Please, I want to stress that unless you are Dark Type do not make other Pokemon needless bully your Pokemon, even so, if you are a Dark Type only bully your character if others have an inkling of suspicion of what typing they truly are.
This goes for other characters who aren't Dark Types, don't needlessly bully another character based on a melanistic appearance (It basically means the Pokemon probably ended up being born all black) even though they are Electric/Normal or something. If you happen to see a Fletchling that is dark red and grey you wouldn't bully them because all Fletchling are Normal Type.
- I am allowing you to switch around the appearance of your species, such as, a regional variant or one with a thicker/thinner build than average.
- Try to keep your Pokemon in the correct Kingdom, please, although there are villages made up of mixed Pokemon of all types (Not everyone wants to remain isolated based off of type after all)
- Fairy Types aren't discriminated either, just let me clear that up. It's rare to see them in a kingdom, and everyone knows it's rumored they have a forest kingdom in the forest somewhere, (Like Laverre City) but they are so mysterious and new that everyone kinda looks up to them. Except Dragon Type, they are freakin scared of them. Fairy Types, since they are in the forest, also have free access to the Dark Forest because screw the rules, these guys are all sweethearts and would gladly give the poor Dark Type's cookies and who wouldn't accept their cookies they can pound the Dragon Kingdom into oblivion in a second.
- But yea, seriously, if you are a Fairy Type, for the sake of the Roleplay, you are not going to hate or fear the Dark Types, you want to hug the poor dears.
- Basic Pokecharms Rules
- Try to not Mary-Sue, Gary-Stue, or Godmod
- Try not to make your Pokemon character needless bigoted towards other kingdoms for no reason other than to start war. At least try to create some backstory to their mistrustfulness.
- Seriously, if you know the typing of the Pokemon do not accuse them of being dark type even if they have red eyes and black paws.
- Unless your Pokemon is an asshole
- But don't be an asshole
- Nobody likes an asshole
- Let me know of a rule suggestion or loophole please, I feel like I thought of some when I started typing and missed them...

Here's mine~
Name: Crescent
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Species: Eevee
Appearance: Hailing from a group of previously nomadic Eevees, her appearance is somewhat different than the average Eevee. Notably are her longer torso, neck, and legs. The neck fur is a little shorter, more form fitting than other Eevee, but it also covers more of her chest/belly/back. She has whiskers tipped with gently glowing tips, usually more noticeable in dark places or when attacking. Her ears are also more upright and forward facing than the normal Eevee's off to the side ears, and her head is a little smaller with a slightly longer snout. The tail is thinner and longer as well, and doesn't swish up in the air, it either hangs down or horizontal with her spine. However, unlike the nomadic Eevees, Crescent has feathering on her paws with longer whiskers, and she is shiny. This results in a silver coat, and deep grey eyes with white pupils. She keeps her Normal Typing.
Accessories: A golden soothe bell attached to a grey ribbon, tied into a bow on the back of her neck.
Family: Her father, a Noivern named Sammy. Her mother, a Shiny Talonflame named Fletcher. Her parents were both shiny Eevees, she has countless other siblings that are both shiny and not, and she has nine children that are Arceus knows where.
Profession: Apprenticeship with the wife of the town's blacksmith, an elderly Ninetails. She is learning how to make jewelry with his wife, an Alolan Ninetails.
Currently Living: With her mother and father up in the Flying Type roost-like houses. Her mother is stay at home and her father is one of the village guards. The village is known as Feather Down Town, a rather nice village with paved roads, sturdy houses, and lots of metal working shops. A lot of population, even though it's varied, is made of up of Flying Types (Well, secondary types, Noivern is the only primary Flying Type pokemon)
Smol Bio: She never lived in the Normal Kingdom. There is a moving band of rather bad Pokemon, who force Pokemon to breed and sell them into servitude. (Sadly, it is not uncommon to see Eevee or Pikachu servants, to name a few, in other Kingdoms.) Crescent's parents were one of the primary breeding pairs, since shiny pokemon could sell well among nobility. Rather than sell Crescent, noticing her beauty compared to the other Eevee like her, they forced her to, well, pass down the beautiful genetics. It seemed like her life was pretty terrible in this cycle of greed and power, until Sammy and Fletcher came along. They bought a lot of Pokemon, as many as they could. As soon as they brought back the Pokemon, they promptly told them that they were all freed. Crescent was adopted by the two, since she was the youngest, and she's lived with them ever since.
Personality: Somewhat cold, mistrustful of others, and seems to thing anyone new is out to get her. She doesn't have any friends her age, and she doesn't know how to socialize properly, as most of the time she is very formal (Out of sheer respect and adoration of the adults in her life). She actually has a very big and loving heart, it's just that no one has successfully opened it yet.
Moveset: Wish, Swift, Quick Attack, Attract
Other: Pokemon know Eevee can evolve into the Dark Type Umbreon, so unsurprisingly restrictions have been placed. Those being that Eevees cannot be out past dark, lest they evolve. As such, Fletcher and Sammy encourage Crescent to make friends in the daytime, wearing the soothe bell to help, in hopes of evolving her into an Espeon. (Psychic type is still trying to press the fact they are one of the most powerful types out there despite the influence of Dark Types on some other kingdoms.) They also have a very strict curfew for her.
Aaaaaand Roleplay Sample:
Crescent sanded the wood down carefully, careful not to destroy the past hour of work she put in. Delicately, she moved the paper in her paw around the carvings in the wooden bracelet, allowing the flowers to smooth over and shine. Her ears perked as she stopped to admire her work, a small grin spreading across her muzzle. A chilly nuzzle against her cheek cause her to squeal slightly, "Good work, little one." The old ice fox purred. "I'm sure everyone will love your work, and soon enough you can replace me, hmm?" Crescent hummed in reply, not feeling like talking. She was drained and tired, but the gleaming, dark wood piece of jewelry, with its intricate orchids and vines in front of her, was the payment of months of work. She loved this. For the first time in her life, she was having a sense of normality, and happiness.
