Digimon used to be creatures of urban myth and legend, those shadows you see in the corner of your computer screen, when your computer monitor starts going fuzzy, that was supposed to be them, the little monsters in the Internet, I mean... If I walked up to you and said "Hey, there're tiny little monsters living in your computer." you'd say I was nuts. Well, 11 years ago, the Internet went nuts with rumours that were quickly squashed by the Japanese government. Rumours that those creatures were real and that Godzilla could come crawling out of your computer at any moment without warning. It was around this time that pictures surfaced of mysterious vans with "A.D.C.U." Popped up everywhere. No liscence plates, no other markings, most of them were deleted shortly afterwards and any mention of them was quickly scrubbed from blogs and social media and everywhere other than the deepest depths of the web.
Shortly after Youtube calmed down with the natural reaction of a "A.D.C.U. paranoid conspiracy phase" new video's, the big news was an EMP going off in the middle of Tokyo, the Highton View Terrace area went dark for almost 10 hours as, supposedly, planes fell out of the sky and crashed. The area was coordoned off and it became the new big paranoid conspiracy. However, the A.D.C.U. meme was reignited when what was clearly a fake movie trailer or something along those lines hit the various social media and video sharing sites of a Giant Lion attacking one of those vans. It was condemned as "Poor Taste" as the footage clearly showed this taking place in Highton View Terrace at the same time as the disaster. But as usual, sanity prevailed and "Someone taking advantage of human suffering with a hoax video" seemed far more plausable to the majority than there actually being computer monsters fighting a shady government agency. Of course, the internet didn't give up that easily, but the tin foil hat society is one that endures so long as some information remains classified.
So, this is all quite interesting but the big question is "Where do i come into all of this?" Well, the answer is quite simple. You may have been out and about when your phone started acting up, you might have been sat at home watching anime when the TV started to freak, you may have been at alone at the arcade when suddenly every machine turned off but one... In any case, you have just found yourself face to face with something friendly, sarcastic, cute, iconic or some combination of those.
In any case, you have just found yourself with a friend that you will find yourself following and leading it to hell and back. Shortly afterwards, you find yourself being approached by someone dressed as what could best be described as Thunderbirds Reject who will question you about you about your new partner. Try to run or fight and you'll find that they also have an Ally of the same kind and he is FAR more experienced than you. In any case, you are going back to HQ with them where you will find out about ATLAS. An orginization secretly sanctioned by United Nations that operate at the highest levels of discretion. You are then given a choice:
1) Memory wipe. You wake up in your bed, believing whatever you want to believe and you will never see, hear from, or have any kind of contact with ATLAS or these weird little monsters ever again.
2) You sign a non-disclosure form, you are given the tour and congratulations, you are now a member of ATLAS, your mission, to find others that have bonded with Digimon and bring them in or wipe their memories. You can still live your normal life, but you must let NOBODY know about your new friend or ATLAS and whenever your new device goes off, you drop whatever you are doing and report for duty.
So, what's your choice?

So, obviously, this is a Digimon RP. It's a continuation of a very long running one i started over a decade ago, but have since fallen out of touch with the old RP party but still want to run. But don't worry, there is no need for prior knowledge of the world before jumping into this as it's not important. Think of this more like any other RP that has backstory that you're not privy to. Sure, it'll play play into the story, but everything you need to know will be explained as and when you need it to be. Think of it like Data Squad inspired.
You can be a fresh-faced shonen-style teenage who's first post will be to come face to face with your new best friend or you can be a grumpy old git that, many years ago, bonded with an equally grumpy Digimon and decided to kick some ass before you kick the bucket. Character Creation is completely open to whatever you want to build. The only pre-requisite is that you accept that this is going to be a Team-based game and that lone-wolfing it may not be the best idea for interactive purposes.
Naturally, this is an Interest Check, so that's about all you need to get a feel for it, if i left anything out, do feel free to ask.
