Name: Umiko Mizushima
Age: 16
Appearance: Umiko stands just short of 150 centimeters in height, and is of a slim, athletic build. During the summer, she'll often develop a tan. Her usual wardrobe consists of clothes that are light and easy to move in, as well as a good pair of sneakers.
Personality: Basically raised by her brothers, Umiko is something of a tomboy, but has a girly streak. She can be quite competitive, and enjoys sports. While not dumb, she has to work hard at academics to keep up. There's one thing that Umiko keeps to herself: she's an avid researcher of conspiracy theories, ranging from Unidentified Mysterious Animals, aliens, to government coverups.
Backstory: Born and raised on the shores of Lake Ikeda in Kyūshū, Umiko and her family moved to Tokyo in middle school. While she missed living in a small town, she was able to join a swim team at her school. For her 14th birthday, Umiko got her first computer, which led her down rabbit holes fueled by curiosity. Eventually, this led her to the rumors and conspiracy theories surrounding Digimon: Tamers' World, and she began playing the game to see if there was anything to them.

[APPEARANCE]
Hana's 163cm hourglass frame is most commonly hidden beneath hoodies, jackets, skirts, leggings, and boat shoes, leading to her giving off a sense of effortless beauty--though she very much puts effort into her looks. A mole sits beneath her left eye, and the only accessories she is ever seen with are hairpins in her bangs, mostly meant for style.
She has a terrible poker face and when she blushes, it is extremely clear on her cheeks. Due to this, she's developed a habit of hiding her face when embarrassed, deep in thought, or even just tired, among other things. She most often does this by pulling up the front of her hoodie or jacket when she's wearing one over her nose and holding it there. At times when this is not possible, she'll either throw on a hood, cover her face with a hand, or simply just turn away.

[PERSONALITY]
Hana can give off an unapproachable aura, often looking annoyed or tired. This shell, though, is very easy to get past. The slightest bit of kindness--even sometimes a simple compliment--can quickly melt away her icy demeanor. Despite her best efforts to be aloof, Hana is shockingly clingy and soft-hearted. Though she often has difficulty communicating with words, her expressions and actions do more than enough to show her true nature as a caring ally and friend. Hana is one to nearly never pin blame on another, always being the first to apologize. A tendency to overanalyze little things can often control her, and that is especially true when something goes wrong--she will immediately look inward and pick apart every mistake she believes herself to have made, which can quickly sour her mood. Just as quickly, though, kind words can pick her back up--she becomes attached to others easily.
The girl is very quick to sacrifice for the sake of others, finding happiness in doing so through the happiness of those she aids. This trait, along with her general disposition, makes her a very easy soul to manipulate and take advantage of. Hana has recognized this 'doormat' aspect of herself, and it is the primary reason she tries--and fails--to be distant. Realizing she's been used is a crushing feeling to the girl, not helped by the fact that she can hardly even think to say 'no' without feeling herself panic. Upsetting others, even if they've upset her, paralyzes her.
When she speaks, she is rather slow and deliberate, needing to be focused on being clear with what she means, and to avoid excessive stammering.

[BACKSTORY]
At a very young age, Hana was a loud and outgoing child--one with a stuttering issue. Predictably, this lead to many years of teasing, dampening her free spirit. As she aged into and past her tween years, she worked on her stuttering and kept mostly to herself, spending long hours on the family computer. As a young teen, she started to put herself out more again, finding some success, but also finding the struggles that came with her personality--kids this age were smart enough to take advantage of her inability to refuse.
There was no particular big incident that jaded her--she simply found herself with less and less time to herself, being pulled around every which way by people who wanted her help. Growing tired of having people upset with her for not being around when she was busy assisting someone else, but still lacking the courage to just say 'no,' she slowly began to simply make herself less available, and less openly friendly.
This was most effective when her family moved to Tokyo the year she started high school--all new faces around her that had no expectations of her to help them. And, with her practiced sharp, annoyed default expression, few thought to even engage her in conversation.
That... sucked in its own way. Living somewhere new with no one to talk to was lonely.
It was for the best though, Hana told herself--at least until she could fix her own flaws that caused the problems she was hiding from.
To pass the time, Hana worked at a hip clothing store part-time, her first big purchase with her saved money being a nice laptop of her own. When working neither on her schooling (which she was and is diligent at) nor at her job, she began to spend her free time playing Digimon: Tamers' World. It was fun and popular, and talking to people online about the game was a nice way to stifle some of her loneliness, without all the extra burden in-person conversations potentially brought. Many of the creatures were super cute too, and interacting with them also helped, even if they were just monsters in a video game.
One day when talking about the game online, she heard of a few rumors regarding the game for the first time--the one in particular that caught her attention being the one that said Digimon were appearing in the real world. That was absurd, of course... but Hana couldn't help but begin to look into it just a bit more. A digimon would probably make a good friend for her.
It made her feel silly, so she didn't dwell too much on the reason why she was hoping such an impossible rumor was true.

[DIGIMON]

Species: Lunamon

Nickname: Lulu

Default Level: Rookie

Attribute: Data

Attacks: Tearing Shot, Luna Claw, Lop-ear Ripple

Other forms: Yukimi Botamon -> Nyaromon -> Lunamon -> Lekismon

Name: Akira Kobayashi

Age: 17

Appearance: Akira stands at 5’10’’ and is built like a beanpole. While his face could be called plain, what with his hazel eyes, Akira has varied it up by growing out his hair and dyeing part of it blond. Clothing wise, Akira doesn’t wear much colour, preferring plain black, grey, or white shirts and pants.

Personality: Akira is a fun loving guy, very easy to be around. This mostly comes from the influence of his father, who is a major part of his life. Always down to try something new, Akira can be adventurous and impulsive. Akira can appear to be a little air headed, but that is because he keeps his more deep thoughts contained to himself, as he fears revealing insecurities could cause people to stop liking him.

Backstory: Akira was born in Osaka, the first of two children of the Kobayashi family. Akira’s father was a small town fisherman who had moved to the city to be with Akira’s mother. His mother was an up incoming politician, running for office in Osaka. Growing up Akira was always closer to his father as his mother was often busy with work. The pair of them had a lot of fun, which was only added to when Akira’s sister Miyako was born. Akira immediately became a protective big brother, beating up anyone who bullied Miyako. This would earn him the praise of his father and the scorn of his mother.

Things between Akira’s parents weren’t great, with lots of fights happening in the family home. Akira’s mother viewed her husband as a deadbeat dad, while he said she was a distant parent. Things would eventually boil over when Akira’s father packed his bags and left. Akira remained with his mother and sister, as his father moved to Tokyo. For almost a year Akira remained in Osaka, secretly keeping in contact with his father. When is mother found out she got mad, causing Akira to run away. After two days on his own, the police found Akira and brought him home. However things would never be the same with his mother.

A few weeks after running away, Akira got permission to move to Tokyo to live with his dad. While he was excited about this, Akira also felt bad leaving Miyako who wished to remain with their mother. Upon moving to Tokyo, Akira took some time getting used to the city, eventually finding a friend group. It was on the insistence of this new friend group that Akira made an account for Digimon: Tamer’s World. While he had a passing knowledge of the Digimon franchise before hand, Akira quickly became enamoured with the game. He would soon join discussion forums on the game, where he would first hear rumours of actual Digimon appearing. While initially dismissive of these claims, Akira would become intrigued by the sheer volume of people saying they’ve seen real Digimon.

Digimon partner: DoKunemon

Digivice colour(s): Black, Dark Green, and Crimson.



Species: DoKunemon

Nickname: Cho

Default Level: Rookie

Attribute: Virus

Attacks: Worm Venom, Electric Thread, Poison Ride

Other forms: Yuramon -> Budmon -> DoKunemon -> Stingmon

Name: Yasashiku Tsuzuki (Yaya or Yasa)

Age: 17

Appearance: Yasashiku is a princely young man with a fickle exterior. At any given moment his eyes can be soft like honey or hard like gold. Likewise, beneath his svelte figure are lean muscles from finely crafted routines. He has distinct purplish-hued hair which compliments his already unique appearance and presence. Those around him have begun calling him "King" from the way he carries himself. Standing a bit above-average height, Yasashiku strides in at an impressive 165cm.

Personality: As mentioned above Yasashiku is a severely fickle individual, some may even say he's borderline bi-polar. Allow me to clarify that he's nothing of the sort. Though he does enjoy keeping people on their toes around him, creating distance between himself and what's perceived as normal; a space that seems unbridgeable. Despite this, the kindness that shines from his soul always reaches the surface. He lives by the motto of lending a helping hand if at all possible. The only obstacle to that is his presence. An odd authority permeates through him, a dark intensity bellows around him and can often scare off those nearby. As if he's an entirely different creature all together, Yasashiku can put to use a callousness not typical of a seventeen year old.

Backstory: The only son of a wealthy business owner, Yasashiku grew up for the most-part loved and doted on. His mother and sisters (two older and one younger) pampered him and unconsciously made him selfish and arrogant. His wake up called came in the form of his future bestfriend, whose bravery and strength of morality shattered his pretenses. Overtime, Yasashiku grew around his entitlement and became something of a leader for his group of friends. Once upon-a-time, called "The Royals", Yasashiku and his three comrades were, funny enough, doted on by those around them for their influence, ability, and overall status. On the eve of middle school graduation, Haru (brave bestfriend) was killed. After which, Yasashiku retreated into his shell and became the boy he is currently. He cut ties with his other two friends and begun burying himself into cyberspace--the rest is history.

Name: Niko Watanabe
Age: 17
Appearance: Niko is 6 feet tall, ane has a slim build. He has fair skin that does not tan easily. His hair is messy and pink, and his eyes match his hair color.

He dresses in ways he considers cute. Generally there will always be something pink on him. Besides just his hair.

Personality: Niko acts like a happy go lucky kid. He smiles and laughs and acts like nothing bothers him. He tries not to show his negative emotions around others. He has a hard enough time making friends as it is. If they see him cry or be sad, it will only push people away even more. He likes the color pink, cute things, and generally stuff that is considered girly by most people.

Backstory: Niko is half Japanesse half American. He travels back and forth between the two areas with his parents often. He always had a fascination for cute things. He played with stuffed animals while other boys played sports. For this, he was often bullied. While Niko always wore a smile on his face, and acted like the bullying never bothered him, deep down it does. He wants to make a friend that likes him for who he is. He tries his hardest to be friendly, but often his attempts come off as overbearing. So far, the only place he’s been able to find it is in video games.
