Hey there. I'm putting this here as a last resort. This is the final time I'll be posting this Interest Check, and I'm really hoping that we'll get at least two more players to add to the two (with a third working on a sheet) we already have. This would be an RP that crosses Digimon with Megaman Battle Network, that starts in a world similar to the real world. You don't necessarily need to know anything about either series, but it'd help if you knew at least a little about both.
In a world that mirrors our own, the past year has been very eventful, more so even than our own. This is due to the main difference between the two realities: The formation of Aleph Corp., a merger of Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Sony. This merger had been planned well in advance; a lobbying group was formed in 2019 to convince several governments to approve the transaction, and in February 2020, the merger was finalized. By April, Aleph Corp. had released a new technology: a portable computer under the guise of a phone, capable of accessing the new Aleph Corp. program library, the “Omniphone”. On April 25, the corporation ended all support for the programs and systems that the companies that formed it had released.
The Omniphone was unlike any other device at the time: a folding touch-sensitive cellphone with a holographic display and a “Base Unit,” a mini computer in its own right that the Omniphone could dock and wirelessly connect with. It was on these Base Units that Aleph Corp. began releasing video games and streaming services, which the Omniphone could piggyback off of at gigabit connection speeds. There was even an additional hardware released to convert the phone into a game controller, and special edition models quickly became highly sought-after by the rich. It took only 21 days for the Omniphone to completely sell out, and production was halted completely.
In June, production was resumed, and the new operating system for Omniphones, the “Silver” OS, replaced the previous “Bronze” OS. At the end of the month the Omniphone had once again been totally sold-out, having released a total of 1 billion units worldwide. The new OS enabled wireless connections using hardware that had been built into the Omniphones from the beginning, but had no firmware support until the upgrade. This new “Expansion Network” ran from recently completed satellites and created a “web” of data around the planet.
In November, a final run of the Omniphone 1.0 was completed, including 100 random units running the newest software, the “Gold” OS, for testing before the release of the Omniphone 1.1, which the OS was made for. This meant overclocking the Omniphone 1.0, a requirement for running the operating system on the now-dated hardware.
You play as a person who just obtained one of the 100 overclocked Omniphones running the “Gold” OS, and who is a fan of the series Digimon, Megaman Battle Network, or both. This person owns any two (or simply the PET) of the following items before obtaining their Omniphone: A Digimon Vpet, a Digimon Digivice game toy, and/or a Megaman PET game toy. Your story begins in December upon receiving your Omniphone. These game toys fuse with the Omniphones to create “Expanse Callers,” the “Digivices” of the Digital Expanse. This story is fraught with danger; death is a real possibility for all involved. Will you and your fellows be able to save the worlds that you find yourself in? Or will they be lost to darkness forever?
- Characters must be 12 or older. Characters receive one Digimon from their Vpet, one Digimon from their Digivice toy, and/or one Navi from their PET toy. You can choose to have a PET toy and a Vpet or Digivice, but those who choose just a PET start with extra battlechips, including rare ones.
- Players can use any Digimon with few exceptions and any canon Navi not listed below as banned.
- The same model of any of the three toys cannot be used by multiple players, though remakes count as different models. Battlechip Gates count as PET toys.
- You cannot make new Digimon, or use digivolution lines that aren’t possible in canon, though you can create a new non-canon Navi and use digivolution lines that are possible but haven’t appeared in canon.
- Navis require a symbol associated with them.
- Megaman Starforce will be involved in the RP, but players cannot start with Wizards.
- Only Navis and specific NPC Digimon can wield the Legendary Arms Digimon.
- Navis can Cross-Soul and Double-Soul with Digimon.
- Xros Wars Digimon can only be used if they are put into a normal digivolution line. The Xros mechanic does not exist here.
- You must choose on your CS to have your Digimon either stay in their strongest stage or revert and warp digivolve from Child. The benefits of staying in the stage are that it maintains its power at all times, but requires more upkeep and more time to recover/recharge. It also stays a bigger and more threatening target, whereas a warp digivolving Digimon will revert to Child or In-Training when they run out of energy/take too much damage. However, this means they need time to digivolve before they can really fight. The lower the stage the faster they recover/recharge health and power.
- The following Navis are banned for players: Bass, Serenade, Fused Colonel, Hub-style Megaman.
- There will be hidden GM-only stats for Digimon and Navis, though they will only be used if absolutely necessary.

There exist worlds beyond ours, infinite parallel realities that differ in minor or major ways. This is the story of one of these worlds, and some of the worlds connected to it.
The Digital Expanse
In a world that mirrors our own, the past year has been very eventful, more so even than our own. This is due to the main difference between the two realities: The formation of Aleph Corp., a merger of Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Sony. This merger had been planned well in advance; a lobbying group was formed in 2019 to convince several governments to approve the transaction, and in February 2020, the merger was finalized.
