Okay, here it is! Yay! I didn't expect so much feedback so soon! I am so exited! Okay, focusing. On to business!

Here is the general story-line:
A group of American kids are going about their usual lives when suddenly a strange thing happens. A strange greenish aurora-like vortex opens up over the United States and rains down Digi-Vices! The kids are not sure what they are exactly, of course. Most people completely terrified and run away. However, the kids feel a strange pull towards them. Once they pick them up, they are transported to the Digi-World in a flash of light! The next thing he/she knows is that a strange creature is waking them up. It soon becomes very that this not home and...man, that thing is weird!

This is where we'll start. Now, we don't have to show up at the same place but it all happens at about the same time. We don't actually have to start at the same place either. Well, we more than likely won't be on 8 different continents. Noooooow...Character sheets! And yes, that does include your own Digimon! We'll each be playing our own.

Well, that's not too painful, is it?

UPDATE!
I worked really hard all last night and this morning to come up with the crests. I know what the symbols are for them, too. However, I am not much of an artist. I made them in paint and they suck. Any volunteers to redo them would be greatly appreciated.
Well, here they are:
- Charity

- Confidence

- Determination

- Faith

- Honor

- Justice

- Peace

- Trust

-Wisdom


Update:
I'm not sure if I covered this yet, but we are following the Adventure 01 Digivolving system, so you need to know your Digimon from In-Training to Mega. Again, most of you are already on top of that but I just wanted to be clear.

Name: Timothy "Tim" Wolfe
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Partner: Elecmon
Crest:



Description: Tim is shorter than most boys (and some girls) his age. He doesn't really mind it all that much, unless someone makes fun of him for it. Then he gets upset. Despite seeming weak and fragile, he is actually stronger than he looks. He has an athletic build and is physically fit due to having lived in a small town all of his life, and spending a lot of time running around outside. He spends a good amount of time in the sun so his skin is lightly tanned as a result, not pale but not bronzed either. He has messy black hair on top of his head, and his bangs go to his eyebrows. He has big brown eyes, a small nose, and a round "Babyface", which give him a youthful appearance. His face is clean-shaven, and his upper body is free of any hair except the top of his head and eyebrows.

Tim prefers to dress simply and casually. He doesn't want to have to fuss with his clothes, or worry about ruining them, as well as being comfortable in them. His usual outfit usually consists of a T-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. His favorite shirt is a loose-fitting dark blue and white striped T-shirt. He wears a pair of khaki cargo shorts on the bottom that are held up by a black leather belt. His footwear of choice are a pair of comfortable grey sneakers and short white socks. He carries a blue backpack to store whatever essential items he might need to have at the moment.

Personality: Tim is a shy and quiet individual by nature. He was always this way, and being bullied as a kid didn't help. He is very sensitive, and he fears being bullied. He usually speaks with a quiet voice, and occasionally a stutter when he's nervous. He also becomes very apologetic when someone shows any hint of being upset. He has a thing for animals, and he usually prefers being with animals than with people. Animals will listen without judgement, and only expect a little kindness in return. He is gentle and softspoken, which seems to be the reason why he has such an easy time with animals. He gets scared easily, his worst phobia being stage fright. He gets really nervous when having to speak or perform in front of an audience. He really wants to be the brave, but it's harder than it looks.

Despite being shy, he is by no means antisocial. If you talk to him, you'll find he's quite friendly, and polite. He can laugh and make jokes like any other kid. He is always happy to have to new friends, because his shyness makes it difficult to make them. He is very affectionate and loyal to those he likes. He hates it when people are angry around him, so he tries his best to keep the peace. In conversations, he is usually more of a listener than a talker, and he has no problems being a sounding board when someone wants to vent (As long as they don't hurt him.) Tim is very kind to others, often to a fault. He is very trusting of people, and is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Tim is usually very difficult to anger, and is very quick to forgive someone when he does get mad. However, during the times when he is not in a good mood, he can be quite scary if you do catch him at a bad moment. He doesn't want to burden others with his problems, and he fears being made fun of, so he keeps them to himself. This causes him personal frustration. When it gets to be too much, he'll lash out at the target, and let out his pent up rage. He dislikes bullying (towards himself or others,) as well as people being needlessly cruel to animals. Doing one of those things is the best way to get him upset.

Tim is very careful and calculating. He always thinks before he speaks, and prefers not to wrecklessly jump into danger. However, due to his insecurity he is often uncertain if the choices he makes are the right ones. He can easily be convinced to change his mind. This leaves him with some anger when the plan fails and he knew his original idea would have worked. He also doesn't like violence all that much, having been a victim of it most of his life. Although he doesn't look like it, Tim has a big appetite. He likes eating many different kinds of foods, and has the cooking skills to match. He also as an affinity for cute things, even though he's embarrassed to admit this.

Background: Tim was born in a small town by the ocean somewhere in America. Tim's parents weren't rich, but they did all they could to give their son a good life, and give him every advantage. While they expressed having high hopes for their son's success, they tried not to put too much pressure on the boy. For the most part, his life was normal. Tim was often a target of bullying because of his shyness, tendency to get scared easily, and because he was clumsy. No matter what he did to get them to stop it, it always failed or they found something else to give him crap about. It gave him self-esteem issues, resulting in him becoming even more timid. As a result, he had very few friends growing up. He didn't tell anyone about the bullying, lest it become worse. He saw other kids get beaten up much worse after they snitched, and he didn't want that to happen. So he kept it all inside and let his resentment build.

From an early age, he always had a special talent for caring for animals. They seem to be fond of him due to his softspoken nature. He often finds sick, or injured animals and cares for, plays with, and feeds them when no one else will. Around animals, Tim felt much more like himself. He found relief from the stresses of life, and he's found they are the best friends he could ask for. He always knew he wanted to do something with animals when he gets older. He just wasn't sure what. Life continued as normal for the boy. Although the bullying has stopped when he started high school, it still had an effect on him, which is why he didn't talk to other students all that much.

Digimon
Name: Elecmon (Nicknamed: Sparky by Tim.)
Digivolutions: Pafumon, Kyaromon, Elecmon, Leomon, GrapLeomon, SaberLeomon
Gender: Male
Description/Picture:
Abilities/Powers:

Super Thunder Strike
Fist Of The Beast King
The King of Fist
Howling Crusher

Personality: Sparky is a rash, hotheaded Digimon. He often jumps into action without thinking first. Often immature and mischievous, he disregards rules, and can often be a troublemaker. He can also be very blunt, and isn't one to sugarcoat things, but he usually means well. At times, he is lazy, and he often procrastinates to get things done. Despite this, he is very stubborn, and once he's set his mind on something, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. He is very confident in himself. So much so, that he often comes across as arrogant, and he tends to underestimate others. Although he can be a bit silly, he can be kindhearted and loyal if one can tolerate his antics.

He gets more mature when he Digivolves, but his core personality stays the same.

Kindness was a crest, actually. It was Ken's crest. Also the OP said to leave that field blank for now.

Rin said

Oops, missed that. Well, that makes things easier. xD Still need to find a Digimon.

EDIT: Went with Elecmon. Will add the abilities and stuff later. I have to Copy and Paste each move from the Wiki, and that'll take a while.

That's great, Crimson. Approved! And great eye, Rin!

Digi-Destined
Name: Clara Mitchell
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Description/Picture:
Partner: Hyokomon
Crest:
Personality: Clara is an friendly, excitable kinda of girl. She often gets so excited that she embarrasses herself. She is pretty absent-minded. She's not dumb, but she gets distracted very easily. She enjoys drawing and the summer season, so most of her drawings end up being of beaches and such. She has always wanted a pet but her sisters have bad allergies. She hates the cold, the color white and rodents. Her athletic skills are fairly bad. She wants to go to art school when she's old enough.
Background: Clara is from Florida and she loves it! She was raised by her parents and has twin younger sisters. While her family was usually struggling with finances, they greatly encourage their daughters to pursue any talent that they have. Clara is in middle school and is well-liked but not popular. Her best friend is Garrett and they have been friends since 2nd grade. The idea that her parents are going to be relocated to Maine weighs heavy on her.

Digimon
Name: Hyokomon
Digivolutions: Chicchimon -- Hyokomon -- Buraimon -- Butenmon
Gender: Female
Description/Picture:

Abilities/Powers: Cleaving Cut -- Swallow Duet Reverse -- Dance of the Sun
Personality: Hyokomon is an excitable Digimon, much like her new partner. She is a little more focused, however. Hyokomon loves to train with her sword and dreams of being a great warrior. She does wish that she could fly better, though. Then again, she is just generally more clumsy than she would like. She can be a bit too eager to fight and show her stuff. Hyokomon is a bit loud at times when stressed. She likes to meditate as often as she can. She grows more mellow and stoic as she Digivolves.

The pictures of the crests aren't showing. :/

Digi-Destined

Name:
Birdie Stein

Gender:
Female

Age:
14

Description/Picture:


Partner:
Pilomon

Crest:

Personality:
Birdie is a young woman accustomed to being alone with her thoughts. The one thing she does better than anyone else is dream. After all, the majority of her life has been spent dreaming. Dreaming about anything and everything. Sometimes they're about simple things like sitting in the park on a warm day. Other times they're more complicated. She'll dream about stories her family have told her, fantastical tales about a plethora of outrageous things. You may be thinking, "Yeah? So what? Everyone dreams." and of course, you would be right. This certainly isn't an exceptional talent but what is extraordinary about it is Birdie's devotion to her dreams. To her, they're everything, her entire world.

It goes without saying, Birdie is an incredibly imaginative young woman. She's articulate and very expressive with her words. Calm, she has a zen-like disposition, some may say aloof but she means no ill-intent. She gives off a faint masculine energy that translates into tom-boyishness.

Background:
Birdie lived with her two wonderful parents and two older brothers in a painfully pretentious suburb outside New York City. As Architects, Birdie's parents were fairly affluent and able to supply their family with luxuries and a comfortable life. They were known as the trouble-makers of the street due to their unceremonious style. The Stein family weren't ostentatious like their neighbors and playing pranks on the up-tight denizens of the suburb became a sort of fort-nightly family bonding experience. Birdie holds these memories dearly and often dreams of them.

When she was a very young child, Birdie was diagnosed with narcolepsy. It was humorous at first, her family thought it was an endearing quality. She was a normal, bubbly and tremendously lazy little girl. There were no issues until she hit adolescence and her ailment became far more extreme. Her narcoleptic episodes gradually worsened until eventually she fell into a comatose state and never woke up.

Digimon

Name:
Pilomon

Digivolutions:
Upamon
Pilomon
Sheepmon
Pajiramon

Gender:
Male

Description/Picture:



Abilities/Powers:
Lullaby Bubble
Wool Grenade
Treasure Bow

Personality:
Pilomon's personality stays true to his namesake. He is a very docile Digimon whom prefers to steer clear of trouble. Up on Digivolving to Sheepmon he becomes far more gallant and actively seeks out confrontation. As Pajiramon his personality begins to warp negatively. As a virus Digimon his disposition is naturally less friendly but he continues to be a loyal partner.

I'm not used to having many characters under 15, aside from my one 10 year old OC. Who I may or may not swap with this guy ;-;

YEP NO I CHANGED MY MIND

Digi-Destined
Name:
Carrie Morris (She does have the nickname of Mumble)
Gender:
Female
Age:
10
Description/Picture:
This was specifically drawn for me. Kindly don’t claim as your own <3

Partner:
Monodramon
Crest:
((Torn between Determination and Faith~))
Personality:
She adores Penguins, and spends every penny of her weekly pocket money on anything and everything penguin related that she can find. Her most prized possession is the big Penguin coat her Mother bought her for her eighth Birthday. Mumble (as she has come to be known, because of how much she loves Happy Feet) loves her coat so much that sometimes she even refuses to take it off when she sleeps. She’s excitable (especially when Penguins are involved), and is strong in her resolve, to the point where, when her Mother took her coat off her, she vowed not to speak to her mother until she got it back. It went on for three weeks with her only speaking to her Father (even though she knew it was hurting her Mother alot), until her Mother finally gave in and gave her the coat back. She’s partial to carrying around her favourite plushie, Alfie, too.
Background:
When she was Nine, she saw her parents go through a divorce, something she didn’t understand at the time, but she knew it meant she’d have to split her time between both her parents. Her Mother is an office worker, her Father works for a Courier company, and both her parents are still friendly with each other, it was just that they were not well suited to be married. Carrie spends most of her time with her Mother, but whenever she gets annoyed, she goes straight and stays with her Father until her mother apologizes.

Digimon (I used a pre-existing Digimon. Sorry! If you want me to create my own I can, just might take a little longer.)
Name:
Rookie form is Monodramon, but name will change obviously depending on stage.
Digivolutions:
Ketomon – Hopmon – Monodramon – Strikedramon – Cyberdramon - Justimon
Gender:
Male
Description/Picture:

Abilities/Powers:
Bubble Blow - Hop Hip – Cracking Bite/Beat Knuckle - Strike Fang/Strike Claw – Desolation Claw/Cyber Nail - Justice Kick/Trinity Arm/Thunderclap/Voltage Blade/Blitz Arm
Personality:
He’s super protective over Carrie and loves her with all his heart. He has no mercy over anyone that tries to hurt her, but if you’re okay with Carrie, he’s a pleasant enough Digimon. As Strikedramon he gets a bit of a cocky attitude. His main goal is still to protect Carrie, but he just goes about it differently. As Cyberdramon and Justimon, he stays very cool and calculated, and doesn't let emotion get in the way too much.

...WIP I guess. Don't usually post WIPs but having trouble figuring some stuff out. Hmmm.

...Also, I think Determination fits her best, but we'll see what everyone else thinks. ^^;

Digi-Destined
• Name: May Ryland
• Gender: Female
• Age: 14
• Description/Picture: Here and here. She's rather short, around 150cm/4'11".
• Partner: Fanbeemon
• Crest: TBA.
• Personality: May is rather insecure about herself, harbouring low self esteem and issues related to her percieved inability to live up to what others expect of her. Her confidence is easily shattered, and she can be a bit of a crybaby at times. However, her strongest trait is that once she finally finds her footing and gives something her all, she will not back down and becomes immensely hot blooded, courageous and determined. If she cares about something, she will stop at nothing to protect it. Otherwise, though, she's just generally rather shy, insecure and kind of a nerd; she's always been a big fan of comic books, anime and tokusatsu shows like Power Rangers and Kamen Rider, and will actually be rather excited about being transported to a fantastic world filled with monsters.
• Background: TBA

Digimon
• Name: Fanbeemon
• Digivolutions: Pupumon > Puroromon > Fanbeemon > Waspmon > CannonBeemon > TigerVespamon
• Gender: Male
• Description/Picture: They're all provided in the relevant links above, so...
• Abilities/Powers:
• Personality: TBA (figured it out, just need to word it properly ^^;)

Way to go, everyone! They all sound great! Buttercup, blaziken, and Rin:You are all approved and accepted! You, too, Crimson. I thought I put that in here but I couldn't find it. So, I may be repeating myself. I am in contact with more of the group, so we may have more people soon. So far, we have 5 people for sure. I hope to hear from the others within the next day or so. The goal is to have the IC up and running on Wednesday. Ok? See ya then! *Thumbs up!*

Um... Wait, why am I approved? I'm not finished yet... I still need to work out backstory, and write up Fanbeemon's personality.

I think she trusts that you will think of something good, hehe. ^_^

Bingo! Buttercup got it! After reading everything you put and judging by what I've seen of you so far in OOC, I trust you'll make a great character, Rin! :D

I have a few more people who are working on the characters as we speak. There will be a few more characters to come, including Fabricant's character. Thank you very much! He/she (I'm not sure what gender you are...Sorry!) has volunteered to play our villain and we have been discussing the evil goals involved.

Plus, the IC will up sometime tonight. :) I am going to try and keep it simple until we know for sure who is in and who isn't. Please try to do the same. By that I mean, two people shouldn't post back and forth by themselves for three hours resulting in 18 new posts for everyone to read before they can post their intro. Okay? :D

Also, I wanted to talk about the crests. Now, I was not planing on simply assigning them based on which fits the character best. But if that's what everyone wants, I could. I wondered if you wanted everyone to pick their own, but that could result in fights. I'd need a way to decide then. I suppose another way is to randomize them. Have everyone pick a number or something. What do you guys think?

Picking them based on what fits the character is the best option IMO.

Really? You think so? I suppose that is the most sensible way to do it.

Also, the IC is officially open. Yay!

I'll have my sheet up tonight

I'll have a post up on the weekend, I'm busy tonight/tomorrow. Just wanted to let you guys know.

Whilst I'm here, I think my character would suit Peace.

My character would NOT fit Confidence at all. xD I think Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust or even Wisdom, suits Tim the best. Not certain though.

All right. I read through all of your profiles and considered all of your suggestions for crest distributions. Here is my tentative list.
1. Charity-
2. Confidence-
3. Determination- May Ryland (Rin)
4. Faith- Carrie Morris (blaziken)
5. Honor-
6. Justice- Clara Mitchell (myself; very tentative as I'd be more than willing to play any ramaining trait)
7. Peace- Birdie Stein (Buttercup)
8. Trust-
9. Wisdom- Tim Wolfe (Crimson)

I'm fine with Carrie being Faith! I'll pop over and write my intro, now :)
