For a trial period, one member shall be functioning as a Team Deception operative. This does NOT mean anyone can just join TD - it requires mod permission AND a high-level ability to roleplay. For now, do NOT pm a mod, asking to join TD.

Thank you.

Team Deception



History

When, fifty years ago, the Four Founders of the Furoh League made they way to the land they would soon call their own, they did not realise that a Fifth explorer travelled in the shadows of their wake. He watched angrily as the others divided the land mass into quadrants that each would name their homes, leaving not one space for him to settle as an equal.

Twenty years passed and in that time the Fifth had managed to sow the seeds of his own design into the very fabric of the newly founded region. While they set up cities and towns that reflected themselves, the Fifth spread his followers around the entire continent, getting them to bring him information that would allow him to make the most out of each particular area and supply him with the resources that would allow him to create his very own region – one to rival all the others.

With an information network that ran from shore to shore and even to the island of Fidona, the Fifth began plans to overthrow the Furoh League that made a mockery of the beautiful lands that had existed before their arrival. Instead, he planned to overthrow the Champion with the most powerful Pokemon in Furoh and create his very own league within a single united nation of his own ruling.

Currently, Team Deception operates as a gang of One Hundred smaller groups known as Units. These subteams undergo a wide variety of missions from common bank robbing to the attempted capture of legendary Pokemon. Of course, not all Units are as skilled as others and so their missions are set appropriately for their abilities. Money, fame, Pokemon – all of these targets are desired by Team Deception to add to the ever-growing bank of resources that the Team is slowly gathering to take on the Champions and their Gym Leader or Contest Hall followers.

Each Unit receives their own specific orders from the Fifth and are generally designated one Pokemon per member. Some members, however, have their own Pokemon as they are failed trainers that have joined Team Deception in the hopes that one day they will gain glory or grandeur. Each Unit is designated a number equivalent to their skill and strength as a team. Below are the registered Units and their members that have surfaced in the more recent history of the region.

Team Deception lives up to it's name. There is not a set uniform, only a logo, A T with a D intersecting it. Sometimes the uniforms are black with a red logo on the chest (and if it looks like an R, no one brings it up). Some are blue with no shirts (males) or midriff shirts (females) accentuated with bandannas. Some are red and black with hats that look a bit like a volcano. Some are white with striped sleeves. If mistaken for another Team, they make no attempt to disavow anyone of the assumption, in fact, they encourage it. Some have even introduced themselves as another Team.

You'd be surprised at how well and how often that works.

One unit (Unit 6) dresses all in black, nondescript suits. Another (Unit 100) dresses in white with red logos on their chest. (They see this as an insult. So does their Meowth).

Upper Echelon units tend to shy away from any uniforms, dressing in civilian clothes of their choice. These are considered the smartest, most effective units.

It is not impossible that other agents are not part of any unit, but are spies in other organizations, but none have been discovered.
