I guess you could say that I've been on a roleplaying high! I've found a great partner for my other interest check and I am in a comfortable spot with moving forth with this one. Admittedly, I've seen a few Digimon RPs popping up which has definitely got me excited about starting up my own one which has been floating around in my mind for the past few months even before my not-so-random absence from RPGuild. Anyway, I'm even more of a Digimon fan than a Pokemon fan, so I'm really excited to see if anyone else would be interested in what I had to offer in terms of an RP.
As you can see by the GIF above, Tamers was my favorite Digimon season due to the shift in the story and the darker and maturer theme. In an effort to keep that trend going, I'm looking for a very small group to carry out a Digimon Tamers-esque RP that is story and character focused and not necessarily dedicated to the technicalities of it (we're not going to be doing hit points or experience points; it's all about writing a good story).
In addition to this, I'm preferring that the Tamers be young adults (20 to 24 years of age) as I think this would allow us to throw in bits of "slice of life" and other young adult drama into the fold as well. This is not going to be little kids thrown into the Digital World; this will be young adults who may have full-time jobs, attend college or university, and have other issues outside of being partnered with a furry companion on the low. So, balancing out all of those troubles plus young adult emotions and responsibilities I think makes this that much more interesting.
With that being said, here are some things that I am looking for:
- A very small group of advanced roleplayers. 3 to 4 players max (me included). Anything more than that gets too unpredictable and difficult to control. Within this small group, I may allow for people to play multiple Tamers (I encourage it), but it truly depends on you!
- Diversity amongst characters and ideally roleplayers. I'd like to see balance in genders, race, ethnicity, etc. Let's make it realistic, a'ight? I prefer people to use real-life face claims as it allows for diversity in representation, but it's not a deal breaker. Anime pictures work fine.
- Consistent posting and communication. A repeat from my previous thread, but I like working with a group of writers who will communicate with me. I'm always available via Discord more so than here!
- Detailed and vivid writers are a plus. One liners and one paragraphs won't fit with my writing style, honestly. Nothing against those that do, I just love a good story with all the details.
- This is a mature RP, so cursing, romance, drugs, etc. are all a possibility. Themes that get a little frisky can take place via PM or elsewhere and can be implied in character in the thread. Questions about that can be referred to me via PM or Discord.
- I reserve the right to deny a person entry into this RP if I feel that our writing styles don't match. I don't want to waste anyone's time so please respect my decision if I don't accept you!
That's about it on the logistics of the RP. I don't want to type up too much and intimidate people, but I like to get what I'm looking for across first before going into the meat and potatoes of a specific plot. Let's go on to the plot now, shall we?
I'm thinking that this particular RP is set in an alternate universe of the actual Digimon anime. Let's face it, most of the seasons are in alternate universes anyway, so let's make our own up. I'll go into more detail about this one I gather enough interest from partners I feel fit well with me. Anyway, I'm kind of wanting to dive deep into the concept that just because a human is partnered with a Digimon doesn't necessarily mean that he or she will be the most responsible, law-abiding individual. So while the Tamers may mean well, they may run into some issues at some point (whether it be other Digimon or other humans). Likewise, there may be some other humans in the world that have partnered with Digimon that ulterior motives, especially given the dangerous power that comes with harnessing a Digimon. What do you think is going to happen when that desire for power consumes human flesh?
I hope this interest check... interests you! If this is something you are interested in and you have questions about it, I would prefer that you PM me. If you have Discord, that's actually a plus. Depending on how this goes, I'll probably create a Discord server for the RP where everyone can communicate in OOC. Until then...
