Virtue, a firm and habitual disposition to the good. Even in the Digital World, constructed of raw data though it may be, the concept of virtue has a hold. However, not even the digital is ideal. Consumed with pride, a lone Digimon, formerly an Angel-type, sought to posses the Digital World itself. For its insurrection, it was cast down to the Dark Area, whence there is no return.

Now, the Dark Area stirs, and the beasts within threaten to consume the light. Only the Crests of legend can protect the Digital World now...



Welcome! The aim of this RP will be, as implied above, a journey to the Digital World, wherein our characters seek out the Crests and vanquish a threat to the Digital World. However, it's not going to be as cut-and-dry as one might think at first. The goal here is to have flawed characters- ones who aren't the sparkling embodiment of the Crest which they eventually end up possessing. Quite the contrary, we are seeking characters who have to learn more about their aligned crest than others. The activation of the Crests should, ideally, be something that doesn't come easy, is a struggle for a character, and will take quite a bit of doing- not ideal at all in fact.
This way, we can create a dynamic, character driven roleplay, focused on interaction and development as well as adventure and action (if not moreso). Also, due to the more complex, mature way the story is being handled, characters will be older than they typically are in the Digimon anime, to differentiate a little, and so you don't feel like you have to pull any punches.


Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty, shall we? Digivolution paths can be pretty much anything within reason, from Baby to Mega, with a possibility for DNA Digivolution, and potentially an enhanced Mega stage. The Digivolution paths you choose should at least be thematically similar, but aside from that, the ball is in your court. The Digivice that will be used will be the Digivice 01, pictured below:



This Digivice will have all its appropriate functions- meaning facilitating Digivolution, Care of Digimon, DNA Digivolution, and the reversal of such (Partition), and the transmission of messages between Digivices and Digimon in the Digital World. Crests will be used to facilitate Digivolution above Champion level, and will trigger when the human character exhibits a set of behavior which is represented by their Crest. As such, when a Crest activates is up to the GM's discretion, and not that of the players.




If such things interest you, then please, enter in, and experience Digimon V3!

@tobiax Okay, well moving over here then. I'm thinking that my character could have a split personality of sorts, but not really: only one of the personalities is real (the one without kindness); the other is just the real one projecting kindness.

Would that work? I'll probably end up toning the "split personality" down in favor of just a kind "mask," but technically my character will appear "kind"; she just won't mean any of it.

@Dusksong Sounds more like someone who is serially disengenuine. If it's on purposes and not something they can't help.
@Raddum We're accepting characters based on quality rather that first come first serve. We do have some tentatives though.

I can respect that.

I'll go ahead and work on a character and see what happens, I suppose!

@tobiax So the idea works for Kindness despite sounding a lot like Sincerity? The interest thread said lacking the trait or possessing a corruption of it, and I was hoping my character fell into the "corruption" aspect.

@Rai Personally, I like it. It exceeded my best expectations. I see nothing that would stop the character from being accepted.
@Dusksong There's fluidity. Though it came across as "isn't kind but pretends to be". Which is fine. But if I may provide a non-binding example of the "corruption" of a trait method for Kindness, I'd suggest the following:
A character is "nice" insomuch as they are pleasant, but with the bent that he/she is basically a doormat/pushover in a way. Having the character think they're "nice", only for it to be a banal passivity from wanting to avoid trouble and not speaking up about certain things to avoid "inconveniencing people". Another way to spin it would be for their actions, which would be kind under normal circumstances, to be only a "pattern", and not an active choice, meaning they're not actually doing it out of a genuine desire, but only because it's what they always do.
@Raddum Despite the delays, that was pretty fast nonetheless. Once you get your Digimon personality, you should be good to go. In regards to Blaze: Sonic Breath, I don't have a problem with the velocity. Especially because it fits with being ignited breath, if choked flow could cause enough pressure to compress the air to ignite things around it, akin to meteor fall. Metal Greymon fires what is effectively a nuclear missile, anyway. In regards to Slayerdramon, you don't need to take species fluff that seriously (especially because it typically refers to naturally occurring Digimon/Digivolutions and not partnered Digimon). That being said, if you want to have something akin to that take place, cool. I'm sure we can work something out. If you feel, when the time comes, that it doesn't fit, then you aren't beholdent to it.
Also, minor physics glitch- if one is 5'11", and around a hundred pounds, they'd be rather waifish, bordering on emaciated, I'd wager. Close to dangerously underweight though. Based on the build you described, he'd be closer to 200 pounds, depending on exactly how muscular he is. Like 200 would be lightly but noticeably muscled. I should know, I'm 5'11" myself. Side note, digging the Digimon choice. it's straightforward, but not one I see a lot.
@Tenma Tendo Interesting, and a lot better than what I had thought would come of it, I'll admit. I am intrigued with how Alex will play in the RP. However, there may be a sticking point when it comes to the Rookie stage, so I was wondering if that was negotiable for you or not. There's also the- well, it's a minor pet-peve of mine, that your character's image appears to be that of an anime character that isn't that obscure. I don't have the deepest of anime knowledge, so I'm just guessing here. Now I could normally let it pass, but there's the mild issue that the pictured character's name seems to mean lapislazuli and your character's last name is lazuli.

Also, just an observation, we have a somewhat high density of dragons.

I'll have the personality for my partner and some weight adjustment done in a bit. Think he fits around the 180 mark. Good to know everything else went over smoothly with you. I'll see how Moito's partner develops before getting to Mega before I make any solid decision on him partaking in the Trial; It's nice knowing that we can possibly fit that in there as a fun plot point later down the line!

Though a note on my Digimon; If there's too many dragons, I am not beyond changing up my partner if you'd like more diversity. Glad you like the choices I made, however.

@tobiax Double post, but just letting you know I went ahead and made the edits.

Digimon's personality isn't overly detailed, but reading it ought to give you an idea of the horror you're in for.

@Raddum Ok. Although tbh, it should be closer to 200, or 210. Not that big of a deal, but since you mentioned it, yeah?
Sure, sounds great. Development is development.

Thanks for letting me know.
And I'm getting a mix of Thor and All Might from your Digimon.

Thank you. Should I wait for double confirmation from the GM?

Also I have noticed the influx of dragons. Though it was not my intention to have my final form be a dragon. Given the previous stages my Digimon has it will not as repetitive from me.

@Rai Na, yours is fine. It has that elemental switchup thing going on, which kind of thins the dragon blood, so to speak.

@tobiax

Honestly I'd be good with going down the Crusadermon route instead if the dragons are going to be an issue.

Something like MetalKoromon>Kapurimon>Kotemon>Gladimon>Knightmon>Crusadermon. It actually goes better with his personality and speech patterns, upon looking into it. What do you think?

@tobiax Thanks for taking a look at my character! I'm totally fine talking about the Rookie stage, but since you mentioned the high density of dragons, I could always just change the whole line and come up with something else? And sorry about the last name thing! I couldn't see her other eye, so I thought she was a completely different person :P Editing the last name right now ^^
