Appearance: Lanky boy with a bad twitch and a jittery leg. There is almost always the sound of something rattling in his coat, the various medications needed to keep him docile.
Personality: Taji is usually very quiet, docile and skiddish, the type to run from a fight if its just his own person involved in the confrontation but refuses to let his friends come to harm. Protective but paranoid, they prefer small company because excessive crowds and noise give him severe anxiety attacks.
Contrary to his regular disposition, Taji has an unsettling and irrational hairline trigge, making him short tempered and defensive if they are having a mild attack on their fragile nerves.
History: Taji might look like a sturdy young man, they go to the gym often and have buckled down in recent years on their studies, but this poor man has a fuse so short a stray spark was often enough to trigger him to the point of violence. Thankfully it was never the assault type of violence but the kind where you feel trapped in a room and need to know you can leave. Taji is deeply scarred from the events of his youth, witnessing a giant bird creature and some sort of giant dinosaur fighting in the streets. His home had been one of the few that had been damaged.
Taji often recalls that night in his sleep, the weight of the rubble for hours on end all around him. The feeling of knowing you could be injured at such a young age was too difficult to deal with, the only thing he could see was the darkness. What made things worse was the voice. A gentle voice of iron whispering everything was ok.. that it was going to be alright. That voice continues to haunt him, the unknown savior. What little they could tell about their mysterious hero was they were one of those monsters, a smaller one, that had come to him and had put itself in danger to protect them.
nobody ever believed Taji when he spoke about the creature that had saved him from a fallen building.
Therapy was the first option but for him it was the wrong choice. Suppressing the truth of this chance meeting and the kind words of the one who saved his life in Taji over the years has only made him more anxious, paranoid, delusional, in need of medications to settle his fragile mental state. They've lashed out often at others with harsh words and as such has become ostracized. What few friends remain are steadfast in their support of their friend and his struggles for which Taji is eternally grateful. On nearly a dozen different occasions, however, that gratefulness to their friendships turned violent when other students became physical with them in Tajis presence.
Amidst a particularly bad moment of emotional distress the situation became very physical. Taji admits he attacked other students to protect his friends but it was deemed 'excessive', injuries requiring a hospital visit for stitches, which landed him in isolation for the last year of his school life as his medications were doubled.
Other: Likes armadillos, pangolins, has a deeply rooted fear of incarceration. Also believes the medicine he takes is just a placebo, no real cure. Just imaginary.
Partner Digimon: Please refer to the character sheet made by my boi Stern Algorithm
I just added in a section to more clearly explain that it was the savior that people call em a liar about, as requested. Hopefully its all clear.
Name: God King Gilgamesh (Gil) Level: Rookie Appearance:
A yellow, Armadillo-like Digimon with an armored shell and long claws. Armadimon always seems to be offering a reassuring smile.
Personality:
Gil is straightforward, honest, and highly protective to the point of being self-sacrificing. Gil believes that strength is contagious, and that exuding strength will uplift and strengthen those around him. However, he also recognizes that strength not only comes in different forms, but that it also takes time to cultivate, and cannot and should not be maintained at all times. So while he wants those around him to become their 'best versions', he will be there to support and nurture them when they fall.
@1Charak2 Well, it would either be Renamon turning into a cat or Kyubimon turning into a cat, so I went with BlackGatomon to foreshadow her Mega.
@Raineh Daze I hate to be "that guy," especially when you were already accepted, but I'm personally curious if you plan to warp digivolve past Ultimate into Mega, or if you're refitting Beelstarmon to be an Ultimate, since she's normally a Mega... Again, not trying to start anything, just wondering. I'm sort of wary of asking since last time I did it caused some trouble with a GM of another digimon RP.
Retrofitting. Anything that would go in Ultimate would look janky as hell whilst this way it goes gun gun gun. And because the X version exists as stronger, it can take the Mega slot.
Can I just say: everyone's characters rule! I'm excited to see how they all interact. It's a little too early for me to have any plot bunnies to share, but I'm looking forward to this RP like crazy... :^D

You make a good point foreshadowing the mega. Well then besides that, Your totally accepted!
Also yes, Rain cleared it with me prior, as we both game to the conclusion that the ultimate stage was a bit of a mess in terms of bridging from sistermon -> BelleStarmon, so I agreed that since X existed as a much more powerful version it would make sense to retroactively move Bellestarmon (OG) to the Ultimate slot for a more through-lined progression.
Righto, Someone pointed this out to me, (I noticed the changed backstory btw! don't worry thats fine now) Its to do with your name, Your characters name doesn't actually fit someone who is native to japan. Do you have any potential workarounds for that or?
Are you telling me my mans immigrant father who came to japan several years before the incident and name his japanese born son with a westerners name ill fitting? How daaaaaare you.
Yeah I can rename him whenever if you feel its needed.
I mean if his fathers an immigrant I guess thats a logical reason to keep the name the same? But I dunno, his first name would still feel out of place.
@goodmode Yeah, but to be fair, Kii and Yaa are specifically for Impmon, (Like how Koro goes with Agu, or Tsuno goes with Gabu, for example) whereas BlackAgumon has multiple viable Fresh forms. Up to Psy and Charak obviously, though.
