D-Tector User Character Sheet:

Name:
Violet Evergreen

Age:
15

Gender:
Female

Appearance:

She is almost always seen in a red scarf and with red hairpins in her bangs. She wears this scarf even in the sweltering heat, though she'll often wear it around her waist instead if it's too hot out. She tends to wear casual clothes, unlike the image, such as t-shirts with various images of fictional characters on them and comfortable pants. It's rare for her to wear something like jeans, preferring instead to wear athletic pants in the heat and sweatpants in the cold. Occasionally, especially in the cold, she'll wear a light jacket. She'd much rather freeze from underdressing than melt from overdressing, and this reflects in her fashion choices, for the most part. She also tends to wear gloves, particularly medical gloves with more fashionable ones on top of them. Since giving her red scarf to a strange dog, she has been wearing a blue one that she likes much less.

Backstory:
Violet suffers from severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and nearly flunked out of Highschool because of this. This in conjunction with everyday life as a non-japanese person living in rural Japan has led her to be quite suicidal at times. It was one such moment when she found herself travelling to the nearest shrine she could to look for some kind of sign to continue on. It was a small shrine, one like many others in Japan where kitsune are venerated. Almost as if the world was matching her emotions, as she travelled there the sky became darker and rain began to pour heavily. Finally she arrived, only to find a strange yellow creature with many tails taking shelter from the storm. Violet decided that this was the sign she needed, and wrapped her scarf around what she believed in her muddled mental state was a large sleeping dog as a makeshift blanket. She later came to believe that perhaps it wasn't actually a dog, but couldn't remember details clearly enough to say otherwise. When she returned to the shrine days later, the creature and her scarf were nowhere to be found. Unfortunate, as that was her favorite of her scarves as well...

Miscellaneous:
- Violet is a fast and loyal friend. She's quick to trust, and for those who earn her friendship via good use of that trust, she is a steadfast supporter. Due to this, she's both good and bad at keeping secrets, as she'll gladly keep them for her friends unless another friend is the one who wants to know it, in which case it's hard for her to make up her mind as to which person should have their wishes honored.
- She has very low self-confidence. When she's with those she cares about, this is hard to see, but when by herself she has trouble even asking for extremely necessary assistance, when needed. She tries to alleviate this by listening to music that has a bolstering affect on her personality and confidence.
- She is very good at hearing out both sides of an argument, and tends to wait until she has both sides of a story before making up her mind about someone or something.
- She hates insects and insect-looking creatures with a passion. Her only exceptions are butterflies and wasps, because the former pollinates harmlessly and the latter kills other insects and spiders.



Digital Spirit Character Sheet:

Species:
Kyubimon in nature, Renamon as a spirit.

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Renamon is a caring digimon, who nonetheless is very strict with itself. It hates fighting, but trains diligently to become stronger in case it has a need to fight anyway. The world is a place where the strong devour the weak, and it knows and hates this. Because of this, it will often throw itself between two battling opponents to try to intervene with their conflict and force them to solve it peacefully, though this usually results in Renamon getting injured. It also has a strong sense of justice, believing that everything and everyone has value.

Backstory:
Renamon had fought many battles just outside the purview of the Digital Sovereigns, a place where digimon were more natural, more free, than within the bounds of the Sovereigns' territories. Having "grown up" so to speak in such an area, it was a surprise to Renamon when a BanchoLeomon appeared one day and defeated every digimon that challenged him. Renamon had never seen such a powerful digimon, and it was a kind one at that! It always stopped before fully defeating its opponent, and quickly grew a following via its kind nature and/or its immense power. Then one day, BanchoLeomon vanished. The power vacuum was quickly causing even more fighting than there was before BanchoLeomon appeared in the first place. Renamon tried her best to save the digimon that were weaker and had depended on BanchoLeomon's existence, growing strong enough in doing so as to digivolve. However, while she tried to stop battles that were unnecessary, she found herself fighting almost daily. Finally, she had to lure away several crueler digimon that were harassing young ones, and in doing so she and the digimon chasing her found themselves in the Analog World. She managed to escape from them and found a small shrine that seemed dedicated to her kind, just in time before it began to storm. She chose to rest there, and when she awoke, she pretended to stay asleep as a strange creature placed a large bit of fabric on her back in an apparent act of kindness. She hasn't forgotten that moment.

Name: Riku Azuma
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Of average height and build for his age, Riku is rarely seen without a pair of headphones.
Digivolution Line + Attacks: Iguneetmon (Galapagos Field, Timoniniser, Granadaro, Final Traveler); Greymon (Ash) (Atomic Tail, Horn Charge, Ash Fang); JESmon (Tekken Seibai, Schwertgeist, OS Generics, Un Pour Tous)
Backstory: Always a little different from his peers, Riku has always been curious about myths and legends, spirits and monsters, and generally anything that might be seen as outside the norm, such as conspiracy theories. Because of his shy, awkward nature, he often had few friends. However with the rise of the digital age he was able to find friends online with similar interests. Through his time online, Riku came to learn more and more about bizarre happenings. Sightings of ferocious monsters, reports spirits with unfinished business. But in the background of all of them was the fact that these supernatural beings and Unidentified Mysterious Animals involved these entities just disappearing, as if fading from existence. Since then, Riku has been trying to connect the dots between sightings.
Miscellaneous:

• Obsessed with dinosaurs as a child, and still likes them enough to the point that he'll visit his uncle Kenryu Uchida in the Fukui Prefecture and help him out at digs in the Kitadani Formation in the summer
• Can read and understand English thanks to years online
• Loves animals of all kinds... except bugs; he's outright terrified of spiders
• His taste in music is... unique, to say the least; after all, when was the last time you heard someone listening to a metal song about dwarves digging holes?

Nickname: Bruce
Species: Sunarizamon
Spirit Manifestation: Iguneetmon
Gender: Male
Appearance: Since becoming partners with Riku a red stripe has appeared on his head. Other than that, he resembles a normal Sunarizamon.
Backstory: Before Bruce arrived in Japan, he would travel to and from Australia from the Digital World, where he picked up the local slang from farmers and outdoorsmen. He made friends with two other Digimon, Kangarumon and Sepikmon, and the three were occasionally seen by humans; in one particular incident, a rather hungry Bruce (in his Champion form) attacked and ate several cows. As time went on, he and his friends became rivals to another group of Digimon: Hanumon, Porcupamon, and Ebidramon. In one battle, Porcupamon's allies lost to Kangarumon and Sepikmon, and in a fit of rage, Porcupamon Digivolved into a new form: Lamortmon. Lamortmon quickly defeated Kangarumon and Sepikmon before turning on Greymon and defeating him. The two returned to their Rookie forms, and so began a long and irritating relationship between Bruce and Phascomon. In the last few years, Bruce has made his way from the Digital World to Japan.

Martial arts expertise

Backstory:
Kana Asakura was born as the heir to the Asakura dojo, a dojo that teaches a martial arts style known as “The Way That Qwells the Seas and Silences the Storm.” The Asakura dojo was a very strict and traditional dojo, which caused Kana to fall into delinquency and used her martial arts prowess to terrorize anyone in her way.

One day she saw a classmate being bullied by another student. Normally she would have just ignored it and moved on, however, the bullying student had pissed her off earlier, so Kana punched her out. Though as she was leaving Kana was stopped by the other student, who wanted to express her gratitude and introduced herself as Kaori. Kana got caught up in the other girl’s pace and eventually became inseparable friends.

One day, Kaori disappeared suddenly, however, before she did she left an image of a strange monster. The image was blurry and unfocused as if it was taken in a hurry, but it was clearly real. Kana attempted to take it as a clue to the police, but all attempts were ignored and oddly dismissive. Due to this Kana attempted to take matters into her own hands and investigate.

Name: Brian MacPherson

Age: 20

Gender: Man

Appearance:




Special Equipment, Gear, or Skills:
Old tape recorder (with extra batteries and cassette tapes)
Note pad and pen
Old film camera with extra rolls of film
Photography
Paranormal enthusiast
Amateur paranormal investigator
Canvas backpack

Backstory:
Brian MacPherson has always been a true believer.

When he was 8, he was camping out in the wilderness with his father. In the night, they heard strange noises, and in order to console his frightened child, Brian’s father went out into the night to prove there was nothing to be afraid of. It felt like he had been gone for… Too long, and the lantern was starting to burn out! When he heard a noise, something too big to be his dad, he gasped, and put out the light so that whatever it was couldn’t see him. A shadow passed over the side of the tent. Something big, with glowing red eyes. Just when he thought he was done for, it turned and moved on, off into the night.

It was never seen again.

Neither was his father.

Since then, he’s been hooked on the paranormal (some say obsessed, others claim it's a coping mechanism- either people he tends to ignore), and has finally found an opportunity to go to a supposedly very haunted location in Japan.

Miscellaneous:
Can sometimes go on odd tangents about whatever paranormal entity/phenomenon comes to mind, particularly when nervous or scared, as if his knowledge were a shield.

Name: Asahi Matsumoto

Backstory: Before his trip to the Digital world Asahi's life was mostly normal. He didn't do too great in school though, mainly because by the last few hours he had trouble sitting still and concentrating. Despite that he did his best to at least not distract anyone else. Asahi honestly has no idea how he ended up in the Digital World, as far as he knows he was riding his bike hom from school one day about six months ago and suddenly found in a massive crater in the middle of a forest covered in weird eggs and machinery Curious as he was he walked up to one of them and found himself threatened by a weird giant humanoid insect. The insect was unable to harm or even touch Asahi though. After about a week he gained the digimon's trust and the two formed a contract a few days before the first egg hatched so that Jewelbeemon had a physical body to take care of the newborns. This status quo lasted until a Sovereign agent arrived and sent Asahi back to the analogue world with his partner following him out of gratitude. One of the biggest changes since coming back is that Jewelbeemon is helping Asahi stay focused by teaching him tricks from his days standing guard. Also since he had been missing for a while his parents are more strict and overprotective, so he isn't allowed to go outside as much as he used too. As a result he spends a lot more time online and has learned about DATS.

Digital Spirit Character Sheet:
Species: Jewelbeemon
Gender: Male
Appearance:
While it's hard to tell Dinobeemon's eyes they tend to dart across the area looking for threats. Despite being a ghost and thus incorporeal he tends to position himself so that no one can sneak up behind him. He is constantly near Asahi and watches his partners back the entire time.
Backstory: Jewelbeemon used to be a guard at the Royal Base until an army of Gran Kuwagamon led by Grandis Kuwagamon attacked. While the defenders put up a good fight they were caught by surprise and outnumbered. Eventually QueenFlymon saw no other option then to get involved herself and ended up wiping out both sides. Knowing this meant his queen would revert to an egg Jewelbeemon was determined to defend her while she was helpless even though he was death resulting in his contract with the first human he came across. A few weeks later QueenFlymon and most of the insects of the Royal Base had been reborn once a Sovereign agent arrived to keep an eye on the still weak Insect kingdom Jewelbeemon followed his partner to a different world

Name: Ai Shinomiya

Age: 17

Gender: No thanks

Appearance:
Ai's facial expressions tend to remain aloof, and their posture straight, but apparently relaxed. Thair hair is often dyed, and frequently moved into a ponytail. In the presence of others, their movements are fluid and circular, and their smile engaging, if slight. Maybe less tattoos.

Digivolution Line + Attacks:
Human Spirit (of Valor)- Yaksamon:

Nail Care Kit- Containing a file, polish, clipper, and other similar care items.

Backstory:
'They say the house always wins. So you can imagine what being the house must be like, yeah? Maybe you can't. And maybe that's the problem. Could be that it's easier the other way around, always having enough to eat but knowing what it's like to starve.'
'Anyway, here I am in middle school, and it's a good one, yeah? They only accept the best test scores, and the rest have to go to publics. So life's pretty good, yeah? Only I start hearing these whispers around the corner, people saying I haven't earned anything. They're thinking that I only got into the schools I did because my parents could flip the whole tuition out of their pocket change. Mom and dad are great, yeah? Mom was born rich, and dad was a bit of a con-man. They didn't always see eye to eye, but they always agreed on one thing- I want something outside of the basic needs, I need to work for it. And I did work for it. I mean, the fact that I'm good at it didn't hurt- I have a head for numbers, besides.'
'So I'll let you in on a little secret, yeah? I make my rounds, intersections, mouths of alley ways, places like that- big crowds, easy in and out- and maybe I find the person with the most vacant expression. Maybe I offer them a game or two, or a watch casing that looks like a luxury model, for a reasonable price. Maybe they're lead to believe I work somewhere nearby, and I inform them of a discount that may or may not exist. Nothing technically illegal, and they always agree to it- I can't help it if I'm just too quick for them.'
'And then I was almost hit by a train recently. That was weird. Especially because it had teeth. And there wasn't supposed to be a train right then, or I wouldn't have been crossing the tracks. Schedules and all that, yeah? Anyway, long story short, now I got this ghost of a Digimon following me around, and this fancy new D-Tector thing. He's kind of a stick in the mud, but he packs a punch, I gotta say. And I may or may not have been cracking heads of certain malicious unaffiliated muggers in my spare time.'

Digital Spirit Character Sheet:

Species: Medieval Gallantmon

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Backstory:
After taking charge against an alledged robbery, Medieval Gallantmon came into odds with a Devic stronghold and was shot down and left for dead, where he crashed into a passage to the Analog World. Dazed and injured, he found himself with a rogue Trailmon barreling towards him. With a human in his presence, unable to defend themself, he had no choice. A brutal fight ensued, and left both Digimon on the brink of death. Feeling a pang of dread in this strange world, and with a suspicion that the Trailmon might devour them both if he didn't, Medieval Gallantmon offered a contract, and Ai accepted.
Working with Ai has been... interesting to say the least. While working in the shadows, and dealing with the ways of the Analog World, often put him off kilter, there are at least some ways in which they can agree. It seems that the laws between worlds, Vigilance falls on a line in which they can both embrace.

Name
Jack Underwood

Age
20 (Birthday: July 15)

Gender
He/They

Appearance
Jack stands at 5'6". His hair is short and brown, sheared save for a bit of his bangs that are kept swept to one side. The very tips of his hair show old, faded blonde coloration; he hasn't re-colored his hair in quite some time. His eyes are a mottled cognac, with a gleeful mischief in his expression that never seems to reach them. Freckles are very faintly visible on his boyish face, dotted around his nose and forehead.

He typically wears a sleeveless hoodie and baggy workout pants, as well as a black undershirt and worn, blue running shoes. While his outfit may sometimes change based on what is available, he always has a string necklace with three orange and red gemstones around his neck--given to him by his grandmother before she passed.

Digivolution Line + Attacks:
Ghost: Rabimon - Standing at roughly 2 feet and a handful of inches tall, Rabimon is plump and rounded in most features. Their fur remains dense and their limbs thick, to better stand the cold. Fur around their hands, feet, and ear-tips have adopted the same near-black brown as their face, while their stomach fur has lightened to a cream color. Always wrapped around their neck is an over-large orange scarf, striped in brown and dragging along behind them.

• Petit Snow- Fires a stream of chilling winds and snow, with a chance to freeze small targets
• Snowblind- Emits a haze of frigid fog that envelopes an area, obscuring vision and dealing freezing damage to those within

Human Spirit: Floemon - Floemon is tall and lanky, with elongated limbs and exaggerated paws. They stand at 8 feet, their slim frame built for speed. Floemon does not walk. They skate wherever they go, paths of ice forming under their paws and allowing them to glide along any terrain at high speeds. Their facial fur is almost entirely a near-black brown, rendering their nose and mouth all but invisible. Floemon’s ears are the same color, hanging down past their shoulders.

They wear an orange leotard with rich brown stripes on it to add visuality to their graceful movements. Sleek silver blades sprout from the bottoms of their feet; Floemon uses these to skate and attack.

• Frozen Axel- With a spinning axel jump, Floemon launches a spiraling wave of frosty energy at their foe.
• Crosscut- Floemon gathers speed and delivers a spinning kick, made deadly with their paw-blades.
• Arctic Lunge- Floemon springs forward, frigid energy rushing from their core to their outstretched hand and thrusting outwards into an icy spire.

Beast Spirit: Tundrimon - Wildly contrasting the Human Spirit form, the Beast Spirit is exceptionally small and fluffy at about the same size as the average collie. Its fur is dense and colored the same near-black brown as its Human Spirit form. Around its front right paw is a vividly orange and brown bandana, wrapped tightly. Its demure and invitingly soft appearance is mostly for show--this digimon is as harsh and unforgiving as the environment it’s named for.

• Permafrost- Toughens up the user to reduce incoming damage.
• Glacier Crush- Coats the feet with a layer of thick ice before striking, dealing devastating damage.
• FrostBite - Tundrimon exposes their teeth--horrifically sharp and unnervingly numerous--and lunges forward for a crippling bite attack.

Double Spirit: Rimemon - Rimemon is an intimidating presence, their cloaked figure towering at nearly twelve feet. Their fur is an inky black void with crystalline ice shapes making up their inner ear lining. The only visible feature on their face is their eyes, stark white. They speak telepathically, projecting their voice into the air around them.

The robe is a thick, heavy material dyed a dark, frigid gray-blue and embossed with frost and snow at the hem. Around the shoulders of the cloak is bright orange embroidery, in simple zig-zagging shapes. There is no body inside the high-necked cloak, only a cold blackness. A winter night sky, devoid of warmth or light. The very air around this massive digimon is chilled, vegetation flash-freezing as they pass.

• Black Ice Void- Rimemon’s cloak opens, unleashing a wave of ice that coats an area and drops its temperature drastically, rendering creatures caught within immobile and frozen.
• Absolute Zero- A creature is enveloped in Rimemon’s void cloak and imprisoned in a lightless environment devoid of air or warmth. Flash-freezes creatures caught inside with the chance to shatter.
• Calving Strike- Rimemon spreads their cloak, massive chunks of glacial ice erupting from within and bombarding the target.

Special Equipment, Gear, or Skills: Jack is Weirdly Flexible. He’s quite good at contorting his body to shimmy in and out of small or oddly shaped spaces.

Backstory: Jack has spent most of his life alone. With both of his parents working long hours and traveling often, for long periods of time, he was raised by his grandmother. She was never one for visitors, leaving Jack to become accustomed to a much more online presence, socially. He found joy in online games; fantastical worlds where he could explore, collect, craft, and combat creatures to his liking.

One night, a massive creature, something Jack couldn’t even describe--something no one would believe him about anyway--was fighting near their home. It took out half the living room when it collapsed after being struck with something. All Jack had seen was a flash of light. Jack was lucky, he had managed to avoid the brunt of the damage due to his room’s location inside the house. His grandmother in the living room had been much less lucky. They needed to rush her to the hospital. Jack began to see the nurse more often than his grandmother. He didn’t allow himself to dwell on it, burying his concern under relentless optimism. It was fine, it was minor, they were taking great care of her, he didn’t need to worry. He just needed to focus on helping get the house repaired so that when his grandmother returned, everything would just go back to normal. It wasn’t until the nurse beckoned him into his grandmother’s room to say goodbye that he was forced to confront these feelings.

He completely shut down. With a plastic expression he stayed with her, his hands clasped around hers. Everything slowed to a crawl. He didn’t even notice her press her necklace--an heirloom from her own mother--into his hands. Couldn’t even speak as she asked him to take care of himself.

Then, she was gone. He was truly, truly alone.

The next few months were a blur. He forced himself to maintain his routine. Wake up, shower, breakfast, school, go home, dinner, games. His grades slipped and he only barely graduated--he doesn’t remember the ceremony at all; it was as if he drifted through the last year of high-school in a dream. Jack didn’t enroll in college right away, nor did he enter the workforce--he stayed home, withdrawing further into himself and immersing into those online worlds.

It got easier with time, though he developed a flippant detachment to his family and what friends he had made in school and online. Jack kept them at arm’s length, but with a smile--always radiant, but never reaching his eyes. Why should he put in the effort to get so close with anyone? Nothing lasts forever. Might as well cut out the middleman; You can’t lose what you never had. He was an actor. Playing the part of the friend. Playing the part of the hero. Playing the part of someone who really, really cares.

Species:
Rabimon

Gender:
Genderfluid

Appearance:
Standing at roughly 2 feet and a handful of inches tall, Rabimon is plump and rounded in most features. Their fur is dense and their limbs thick, to better stand the cold. Fur around their hands, feet, and ear-tips have adopted the same near-black brown as their face, while their stomach fur has lightened to a cream color. Always wrapped around their neck is an over-large orange scarf, striped in brown and dragging along behind them.

Backstory:
Kitmon was one of many young digimon destined to one day meet a partner and rise to great heights. Every day they fantasized about the identity of their soon-to-be partner. What would they like? How would they sound? Would they like Kitmon?

Kitmon hoped so.

They continued to hope and hope, but no one ever came for them. New digimon hatched and were paired with human partners, and others after that. Still no one came. Kitmon eventually digivolved, a lone Rabimon amongst the freshly hatched digimon.

Perhaps, they thought, their tamer had been delayed. They simply needed to wait. It couldn't be much longer. Rabimon didn't dare leave; their tamer may arrive any day. What would happen if they missed each other? No, no, Rabimon would just stay and wait.

They waited, even as doubt crept into their mind. They couldn't be… abandoned? Forgotten? Lost?

At their lowest, realizing their tamer may never come, a Nohemon visited the nursery. Offered to take Rabimon traveling with them. They didn't need a tamer. There was no reason to rely on humans. Spurred by their own loneliness and growing resentment, Rabimon traveled with them for some time. They loved Nohemon like family. As they grew and experienced more of the world, that doubt came creeping back. Why had Rabimon's tamer never come? Surely they had never meant to leave Rabimon alone. Perhaps they were lost, in need of help. Maybe they were looking as well.

Rabimon needed to know. They made the hard decision to part ways with Nohemon, embarking on their own to search for answers. After much time and effort they found their way to the Real World to continue their search. Perhaps their Destined had simply never made it to the digital world. Perhaps they were here, just waiting for Rabimon to make first contact. Maybe something of a very minor nature had gone wrong. Could it truly be that simple?

Their fated meeting was cut short with an abruptness that bordered on cruel. A massive digimon had broken through to the Real World and was causing chaos. Rabimon’s Destined was simply not ready--there was no way Rabimon could hope to stand against this hulking monster. Even so, Rabimon wanted to protect them--they couldn’t lose them, not after trying for so long to find them. Not after everything they had been through-!

It wasn’t enough.

Rabimon couldn’t save their Destined. They watched the girl crumple in front of them, time standing still as rage filled their body. No. No, no, no no no no no! With wild abandon, Rabimon rushed the creature, red in their vision.

Everything went black.

When Rabimon regained their awareness, they were nothing but data. Unable to speak to anyone, to reach out to anyone. Unable to influence the world around them. Unable to reconcile the helpless rage that filled them, the desperate need for revenge. Justice. Catharsis. They tried to speak with anyone that could help. Anyone at all. But their pleas fell on deaf ears.

Until the day another attack ripped through the city. Rabimon saw him then--a boy shaking with rage as he watched, helpless from the sidelines. That was someone who understood. That was someone who needed to fight, with every fiber of their being.

The deal was struck without hesitation from either party.

Name: Shay Southern

Age: 19

Gender: Maybe

Appearance:

Digivolution Line + Attacks:
Human Spirit: Musyamon

• Shiratori-maru- A simple sword strike with Musyamon's signature blade
• Kirisute Gomen- Slashes with dark energy, draining the victim's life force

Beast Spirit: Gyukimon

• Yatsuka Senbaku- Uses spider webs to restrain the opponent, then spews toxic liquid at them

Double Spirit: Zanbamon

• Hunting Blade- An armor-rending strike with their signature sword, Ryūzan-maru
• Jūmonji Giri- A magical cross-slash that sends forth a cutting wave of energy for each slash

Special Equipment, Gear, or Skills: A messenger bag filled with various odds and ends- sketchbooks, pencils, markers, Shay's laptop, and the broken hilt of a dead Digimon's blade (they think it's a transformation trinket of some kind)

Backstory: A foreign exchange student taking college courses in Japan, Shay has grown up with an obsession for the kind of comics, shows, and manga that they watched as a kid and beyond, wanting to learn how to convey and create stories just like the ones that inspired them. However, hitting a creative rut, Shay started burning the midnight oil, spending longer and longer hours at the library, copying references and reading contemporary works for inspiration. Once, after one of these late visits to the library, Shay decided to take a shortcut home. Weaving through alleyways, they came across an unusual sight- the aftermath of some kind of battle, slashes and claw marks gouged into the concrete around them, and a single, broken, golden sword hilt, lying in the middle of it all.

Compelled, Shay picked up the blade, and heard a voice, deep, raspy, but somehow noble. It explained that it was some sort of "Digimon," and that it had fallen in battle against a great and fierce enemy, one they had tried and failed to vanquish many times before. With its last breath, it needed a host to bequeath its power to, someone who could carry on its work and finally defeat this enemy, once and for all.

Shay, of course, was ecstatic. This was it! Not just the chance to get inspiration for their stories, but also to live them! The chance to be like the heroes they idolized throughout their youth! Without hesitating, Shay accepted the deal, and that was that. Now, in between classes and hanging out with friends, Shay moonlights as a hero of justice, tracking down more of these "Digimon" that threaten innocent lives and putting them down for the greater good. As well as their own inspiration.

And meanwhile, the spirit in their sword grows stronger with each foe felled, awaiting the day when their host can pursue their hated enemy once more...

Miscellaneous: Shay likes peanut butter. A lot. It's practically an addiction.

Digital Spirit Character Sheet

Species: Oboromon; manifests as a dark purple Dokunemon when idle

Gender: Male

Appearance: Often appears as a dark purple Dokunemon, hanging out on Shay's shoulder or wrapped around the remnants of his beloved, broken Shiratori-maru. Often conflicted between his impatience to regain his former strength, and the mild concern he has over Shay's enthusiasm for their contract. They're willing to put up with it as long as Shay keeps racking up kills against their prey, but will likely panic if Shay bites off more than they can chew against a superior opponent. They've come to fear death, as close as they came to it before, and have no intention of revisiting it.

Backstory: This is the tale of two mortal enemies, locked in combat over the ages, neither ever triumphing over the other. Neither knew what caused their feud, after all this time, and neither cared. Only the promise of victory, over the next fated clash between them. They loathed one another, but also respected the other's strength. A deadly dance of hatred and joy, each time they met in battle. Until, at last, one finally triumphed over the other, shattering his blade and rending his body and soul. It seemed their long rivalry was finally at its end...

...were it not for one curious student, finding the last lingering remnants of the fallen's soul. Now, all they have to do is bide their time, regain their strength, and find their nemesis once more. This time, victory shall be his.
