This roleplay with be based off of the Delta Species Pokemon TCG
If you do not know what delta species are then
δ Delta Species (Japanese: δ-デルタ種 δ-Delta Species) are a special kind of Pokémon found in the TCG. The term is often shortened to δ, DS, or Delta. They first appeared in the EX Delta Species expansion, and were last released in the EX Dragon Frontiers expansion.
According to the backstory offered in EX Delta Species, Pokémon become δ Delta Species upon exposure to electromagnetic waves, which were produced by scientists in Holon attempting to locate Mew. Why the scientists chose to use the Greek letter δ is unclear. While in science, the letter can be used to denote a change, the uppercase Δ would have been more appropriate, as that denotes a major change. Another common theory is that Delta is the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, and δ Delta Species are the fourth sort of Pokémon after normal Pokémon, Pokémon-ex, Pokémon Star, and Dark Pokémon in the EX series. Another possibility is that Delta Species has the same initials as the Nintendo DS, which was recently released at the time.
δ Delta Species are different from normal Pokémon in that their type is not the expected type for a Pokémon of their species; however, they still have the same weaknesses that a regular Pokémon of their species would have. For example, Rayquaza δ becomes a dual-type Lightning/Metal Pokémon, as opposed to a Colorless-type, but remains weak to the Colorless-type rather than gaining a weakness to the Fighting-type.
Dual type Pokémon δ always have Metal as their secondary type, and it is nearly always fully evolved Pokémon or legendary Pokémon that display this. However, with the release of EX Dragon Frontiers, no Pokémon δ displayed this Metal dual type, leading some to believe that these Pokémon became δ Delta Species naturally or the trait was outbred on the island habitats in which they live. Appearance-wise, δ Delta Species Pokémon do not differ from normal Pokémon other than an aura that denotes its type; some have a more distinct aura than others.
In EX Delta Species, if a δ Delta Species Pokémon had one of its types changed to something other than Metal, it was always either to Fire or Lightning. This is likely due to the fact that, since these two types are based upon one of the game types each, whereas others are based on more, all cards of those two types shared a single weakness among them: Water and Fighting, respectively. Thus, Fire Pokémon and Lightning Pokémon became more playable by diversifying their weaknesses. Later sets did not do this, however, and Delta Species Pokémon could be of any type.
In terms of card design, δ Delta Species have a coil design going around their image border, and the evobox circle becomes a large letter δ; Basic Pokémon have an empty letter δ.
The designation of δ Delta Species does not affect the name of a Pokémon, e.g. a normal Dragonite can evolve from a Dragonair δ and vice versa. If a card wishes to reference δ Delta Species, it uses the text "Pokémon that has δ on its card". Bulbapedia~
To Sum it up, Delta Species are types of Pokemon that are not the same type they usually are.
But this is an Rp right? So lets make it more adaptable,
In this Rp, you will be battling Delta species, or playing as the trainer who has one. Delta Species Pokemon can be more powerful than normal too, just within reason (Pretty much keep it at a 550 Base stat max)
Special Trainer Slot:
The Delta Species Trainer: None
So SIGN UPS
Name: Ahnoah
Description: A Man with a slightly more muscular build, but mostly un-noticable due to his clothing. Standing at around 6 foot 3 inches, Ahnoah is a bit taller than average human height. Ahnoah has a scruff beard and short hair both being of the color bronze. Ahnoah also has a slightly more rough complextion
Age:26
Gender:Male
Team:
Arcanine:Tiberius: Larger than the average Arcanine, Standing at 7 foot 3 Inches. Protective and Loud Bark. Gotten and raised from the Pokemon Shelter. Ahnoah's first Pokemon. Loyal to everyone and a warm ball of fluff that everyone gathers around when they are cold. Has a large amount of fur as well, making Tiberius look bigger than he already is.
Sylveon-Stardom: A Cheery Bundle of Joy. Never ceases to make others around her happy. See's Zehriyah as mother. Saved from a wild attack against a very high level Zangoose. Wants to become the star of Kalos in the Pokemon Contest.
Zoroark-Zehriyah:Saved from a abusive Pokemon Circus. Because of this she is missing the hair tie (blue bead in hair) so she has free flowing hair. Can make auditory illusions, so it seems like Pokemon are talking, though she can only focus on two at a time, usually herself and a other Pokemon. See's Stardom as herdaughter.
Staraptor-Reina: Rescued from a nest where the parent Pokemon never came back. Counter balances Stardom by being the moredarker one on the team. Extra long feathers give her a slightly different look, with the bane in her feathers being longer.
Serperior-Autumn: Saved from an attempt at poaching this Snivy (now Serperior) for its unique color, being of the color of Autumn. Loves fashion, theater arts, and designing things for the team. For the most part, grooms them as well.
Floatzel-Caesar: The shy one in the group, though not really that shy. Is afraid to know new people, but is fine with people he knows, so is not as shy. Saved Ahnoah from drowning and wanted to join team due to seeing a deep bond with all his other pokemon. Air sac builds up with tension. Upon release of air, speed and attack are doubled.
