I'm sorry, [@Feisty-Pants], but I feel the need to stop you right there. I cannot accept your application. - Characters are supposed to be beginner Trainers. I state in the second paragraph of the thread: "you are an aspiring Pokémon Trainer". You've written a Gym Leader who crushed Sabrina and hijacked her Gym without so much as a blink. While still a teenager to boot. - The starter Pokémon is entirely unsuitable. A level 5 Spiritomb shouldn't know four moves taught by TM, be fully EV trained, or have its Hidden Ability. (No Pokémon, with the exceptions listed in the Sengun Pokédex spreadsheet, can have its Hidden Ability. And EVs are one of the many mechanics-related things that will not be used in the role-play.) And Spiritomb isn't even available in Kanto. - - After doing a bit of research via Bulbapedia, I have chosen to add Spiritomb to the list of banned Pokémon based on its capabilities. - Unholy Healing. The name says it all. I cannot allow it. - Despite having just arrived in the region, the character has gear from Sengun which is exclusive to the region. - The overall theme of morbidness that I get from the character isn't something that I feel is suitable to both the story and setting. I'm not going for a grimdark style at all. And I'll be honest: after reading your sheet yesterday, I had a rather intense panic attack that resulted in me needing to take an extensive break from pretty much everything. I'm sorry, but I do not feel that any part of this character is acceptable.
