About 3 years ago in another RP site, me and @Letter Bee had fun with a Digimon RP of our own that was inspired by the TV series. And now it's about time we do a reboot (kind of) of it as we loved playing both our respective characters in the RP. The plot as a whole goes like so, with some of it here in our unedited suggestions at Discord:


Lust could have been porn in general, but Tinder will do if we were to make the RP family-friendly.
LinkedIn is apparently Facebook for business people.
I'm guilty with only Sloth. But at least it's not the sexually-connotative 'Netflix and chill'
Oh, back to my concept... So yeah, it's like AppliMonsters, and new Goggle Boy Haru Shinkai (will be given a cameo appearance in the RP eventually) and friends' shenanigans. But mine will be more on reflecting to the sins' reality.
Objective will be to control and overcome.

Cue 'Bolero' background music

Tentomon was trying to make contact with Seven on the plane from the flight from Tokyo to Manila, to no avail.
He tried again on the Manila-Cebu flight. And again on settling down in Mactan Island at the Hamadas' new beach house.
Tentomon finally succeeded when a freak blackout happened one hot summer night: The power was out... Except for Seven's device.

It is a reboot. And instead of the original RP which was set in Nha Trang, Vietnam... It will be at this freak blackout in Mactan Island, Cebu.

The place itself is a beach paradise: white sands, friendly people, laid-back but clean environment...
I do have to say something that's still good about my country, though.

The freak blackout is when the players' Digimon come out. And I think it's best if I'll stop there for now: At least Seven's Tentomon will give the progression of the story...

Spoiler: The 7 Deadly Sins concept.

Basically, there was once the Atanasoff-Berry Computer and ENIAC (who, by the way, are Canon characters in various Digimon video games before Yggdrassil was even a thing). The various Yggdrassil units all across the Multiverse are their child, many of whom turned to tyranny and evil. The RP's Digital World used to have a tyrannical Yggdrassil Unit, Yggdrassil-666, who got overthrown by his chief lieutenants using the X-Antibody.

However, Yggdrassil has a loyal follower, Dorumon/Alphamon, who plans to revive Yggdrassil-666 by summoning the Chosen Children, letting them grow stronger, then killing them as 'human sacrifices'.

Yggdrassil-666 will then call on the other Yggdrassil units in the Digimon Multiverse to alert them of the existence of multiple worlds, and every tyrannical Yggdrassil in the Multiverse will join together to take down Antanasoff, ENIAC, and the Canon Characters.

It wasn't intended to be, but it could.
The Seven Deadly Sins could be the ones who overthrew Yggdrassil, and Dorumon could direct the Chosen against them as part of his plan.

And with the recurring theme being a number (7), the RP title shall be 'Digimon: Counting Stars' (Japanese: DEJItaru MONsutaa ~Hoshi o Kazoeru~).

What do you fellow Digi-Champs think?

To be honest, the average RPer can understand this just fine.

@AcetheKidd, but here; a simple explanation.

Digimon: Counting Stars

Eight children from different parts of the world. Eight sets of dreams that would summon them to a luxury beach resort in the Philippines. Eight tickets that would allow them to enjoy access to the resort and all the fun it promised. Then, a blackout in which a gateway into a world different from what they once knew opened without warning, a gateway into the realm known as the Digital World. For champions are needed against a great evil, a threat that seeks to take over all universes, Human and Digital both.

It is a shame that it is the threat itself that has realized this, and seeks to recruit said champions for their own ends.

A brief explanation. In the 1940s, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer and ENIAC were invented, one after the other. They created the first Digital World, the one we know today as the world of Digimon Adventure*. After them came the various Yggdrassil units, supercomputers who implanted themselves into countless parallel universes, creating Digital Worlds in each of them as well. A few of these Yggdrassil units were benevolent, some were arrogant and tyrannical, but a few were merely devoted to esoteric goals and agendas.

The local Yggdrasil merely wished to find others like himself, yet this goal was already enough to do damage, as in order to breach the walls between universes, said local Yggdrasil had to bust a hole in the Digital World; this would kill those inhabitants who cannot get to safety. Seven of the most powerful Digimon objected to that not just because their homes were threatened, but because they wanted Yggdrasil's power for themselves.

These Seven Digimon, later known as the Seven Demon Lords/Seven Deadly Sins, attacked Yggdrasil as the latter were about to begin his plan, and killed him. They then took over the Digital World, replacing Yggdrasil's destructive neglect with their own destructive malice.

Dorumon the leader of Yggdrasil's elite guard, the Royal Knights, decided to resurrect him by recruiting eight human children to partner with several Digimon, who would overthrow the Seven Deadly Sins and then use the power of their crests to revive Yggdrasil...who would be free to burst open holes in the Digital World once more in an attempt to contact his siblings as well as Atanasoff and ENIAC. Note that he does not plan on telling you this; some secrets are best kept hidden.

So, yes, a morally grey tale where you choose between willful evil and wanton destruction, unless you figure things out and come up with your own solution...

*This is Canon, by the way, see this link. And yes, they were Canon Characters before Yggdrassil was a thing.

Alright, so a few questions.
Does this work on digimon, applimon, or both? Is the digimon franchise a thing, like it is in Tamers? What, if any, canon series are canon to this world? Do we pick our own partner or is it provided for us for story reasons? What is the digivice and what are its properties. What is a general rundown on the mechanics of the RP, irregardless of the story itself. Etc.

Digimon. No, the franchise isn't a thing, but Shin Megami Tensei, Pokemon, and Monster Rancher are. Same as above. We pick our own partner. Digivices are D3s, and mechanics of the RP are basically that it's your typical Party RP; it could be made sandbox-ish if needed, though.

@Letter Bee If it's pre-Adventure, then shouldn't it be D2's instead of D3's? Or perhaps even the D01? The 01 is choice.

I and RFH decided to make it its own Alternate Universe instead of Adventure, actually.

Alright, so: I still don't know if that means that any canon series are canon to this, anime, manga, game, or otherwise. And by "mechanics of the RP" I meant more what are the things specific to this RP that aren't only there because of the story.

Ah, I get you now.

Well, all Digimon Series (Manga, Anime, Game, etc) are canon to this RP but said RP occurs in an Alternate Universe and so we're not going to be interacting with canon stuff until close to endgame.

As for mechanics, well, you can use Crest Powers to manifest weapons, barriers, and other effects; that's the most major change. I and RFH might also add Extra Crests, such as Darkness. Tamers will get the capability to fight alongside their Digimon as equals in this RP.

Oh, and homosexual relationships are permitted; that's another big change.

I sorta feel like that answer makes it a no, not a yes. Just an observation.

I will definitely be joining this one! I've been a huge Digimon fan since it premiered here in the States back in 1999. I was just a kid then, but I've been a Digimon fan ever since.

We might greatly edit Yggdrassil's involvement in the plot; for now, take what is shown in the Int Check with a grain of IC salt.

The DigiDestined. Chosen Children from different parts of the world with each having sets of dreams that would summon them to an island paradise for a vacation of a lifetime. Then suddenly on that one hot summer night, a freak blackout...in which a gateway into a world different from what they once knew opened without warning, a gateway into the realm known as the Digital World. For champions are needed against a great evil, a threat that seeks to take over all universes, both Digital and Real.

The date and time was August the 1st of 2011, 7.00pm UTC+8. The DigiDestined have no idea what's in store for them as their very lives are at stake. And one of them was the very reason why they are chosen for such a time as this.
