[OOC] Digimon World Chronicles

[PompousPrince]

The Introduction is in and tomorrow I will probably throw in a few rules just to cover my bases on the basics of what not to do. I will also get up a rough idea of the layout of the overall world. If anyone has any interesting ideas of places or such they would like to see feel free to say so! This world is as much mine as it is yours. The general jist I was going for was an island like world. Islands can be the size of continents or as small as well islands. In the center of it all is a lowered region where the sea spills over into this hollow as massive waterfalls. Within this hollow is Sanctuary, the island that holds the World Tree.

Nekane Yamimoto

DIGIDESTINED

Name Nekane Yamimoto
Age 16
Gender
Female
Physical Description

Nekane is rather slim and petit, to the point where most people think she's twelve, rather than sixteen.
Personality
Nekane is a rather... odd girl. She appears at first to have a hard time relating to others, but behaves rather excitedly around certain stimuli. At a young age, her parents passed away in a car accident, and she was then sent between various respite and foster homes. Yamimoto exhibited reclusive, mildly obsessive behaviors, which involved traveling alone to secluded places- usually open drainage pipes-ingress into which was facilitated by her small frame, and painting elaborate, if not eldritch images out of whatever she could find, including broken crayons, dirt, crushed refuse, and, on occasion, her own blood. This seems to have been a way of coping with the frequent moves, and the difficulty which she had connecting with others her own age. This was due to the fact that she appeared much younger than she actually is, and was viewed as an "annoying little kid" by schoolmates. Her usually bubbly demeanor was not extinguished by this, however, as she enjoyed what she could. Nekane is typically content, but becomes excited when she learns someone has in interest, apparent or real, in something with which she is familiar, and will then want that person to consider her their friend.

Presently, she lives in a nice apartment with a woman whom has been caring for her for two years now, and gives her paints and other art supplies to keep her from sneaking off into unsafe places or having to resort to hurting herself as she had a few times before. In the shelter of her new caretaker, she has acquired several posters and a small collection of her favorite merchandise. She is rarely seen without a bundle, packet, or deck box of Maho Senshi cards, and often carries other merchandise or a virtual pet in one of her front pockets, the other being reserved for cards. She may come off as shallow or materialistic to some, but what she really desires is companionship with others and partaking in a shared interest.

To Be Determined

DIGIVICE

Physical Description

Special Characteristics
This Digivice is able to monitor the condition of her own Digimon, as well as cycle between unlocked forms, and change between certain Techniques- this is a time-consuming process. (Although unlocking alternate forms can be difficult, and will require a little something extra.) Additionally, it is able to communicate with and other Digivice with which it has been in a five foot radius, as well as perform the default functions of facilitating Digivolution, emanating purifying light, analyzing present Digimon, and giving information on analyzed Digimon, such as Level, Attribute, and at least one Technique, as well as a possible previous form on occasion. This Digivice also reacts to "errors" in the Digital World, and can be traced by other Digivices, as well as track and transmit orders silently to the connected Digimon. It can also compress digital items into a smaller size and store them in itself, but this has no effect on Digimon or their attacks. It also shows (a) time and makes nice little beepy noises some times. Maybe it's some kind of alarm?

DIGIDESTINED

Name : John Harley
Age 16
Gender: Male
Physical Description:

Hider

Personality: While John is generally friendly he can sometimes come across as rude without realizing it. He will apologize if someone points it though. Due to the fact he grew up with a dog constantly around he has a pretty big soft spot for animals of all kinds, especially cute ones. He won't tell anyone for fear of being bullied but he believes he might be either gay or bisexual.

While not exactly suffering from low self esteem he does have a tendency to blame himself if something important goes wrong, more so if he could actually do something about it. As a result he can be reckless in his attempts to help others

Additional Information: He and his older brother were raised by their single father for as long as he can remember

[alexfangtalon]

So will any of our characters have known each other prior to this whole thing happening?

[Holy Soldier]

@PompousPrinceYou have players who are finished with their profiles and are waiting character sheet approval so they can start placing them in the character thread. You can assume that it's every CS that doesn't have WIP on them. My CS has been ready for quite awhile.

[tobiax]

So will any of our characters have known each other prior to this whole thing happening?

@alexfangtalon

I can't see the harm in talking it over with other players in lieu of a ruling. At least until GM gets back.@Holy Soldier I think he's asleep. He's been off for seven hours at any rate. Helpful ping though.

[PompousPrince]

@Holy SoldierMy apologies its been a while since I have RP'd so I am a bit rusty. I will read through everyone and let you guys know shortly. Once again I apologize.

[PompousPrince]

So just to give you guys a little insight on myself. I live in Florida so I have an Eastern Standard Time time zone. I work twelve hour shifts, usually noon to midnight, as a paramedic and emergency dispatcher so the only outlet I have to access things is my phone until I get home. So if I seem very sporadic this is why. The time I can be most active for large posts, due to writing on my phone is a pain in the ass, is usually after midnight on the days I work and when I'm off whenever I can. I'm usually asleep from like 3-10. I will try to be the best gm I possibly can be and I appreciate all your patience. I am reading through your character sheets now and so far they look good. The next thing you guys can start thinking on is where you want to start in the real world. I figure if you choose the location it would make it easier to describe how you make it to the digital world. I will explain a bit more in this tonight when I get home. Also if you guys want to know one another prior to arriving I will leave it up to you to collaborate. Now I plan on separating you guys in the digital world in the beginning in to two or three groups depending on how many people we have by this weekend. You guys can also collaborate if you want to join a specific person. Like I said tonight I will explain all this. You guys are amazing and if you have any questions or input let me know! ❤️

[Experiment 249]

Yo, anyone who wants to start in good old 'Murica is free to know Dan. Could be anything from "matched on tinder that one time" to "childhood friend".

[Cinderella Man]

Sorry for being super late, but I'd say I'm done.

[PompousPrince]

I have read everyone's character sheets and they look fantastic! I am vey excited to get this started! I will also be getting mine up tonight!

[alexfangtalon]

@PompousPrince Do you wanna save the first Char post for anything?

[PompousPrince]

@alexfangtalon Nope you guys can go ahead and post away! Just save the first IC post!

[Duthguy]

Any European characters can know John if they want.

About the groups I thinks it might be interesting if every group has at least one communication digivice, so that they can share info

[Cenco]

Shoko Iseki

DIGIDESTINED

Name:
Shoko Iseki

Age:
18

Gender
Female

Extra Pictures

Personality:
Shoko has a bit of a tomboyish streak to her, which mainly manifests itself through hyper-competitiveness, and a sense of curiosity that drags her around by the nose. The girl is a something of a low-key show-off, wanting others to be impressed with her and the things she can do. It's validation, for her, to have people look up to her and praise her -- a side effect of this is that she's very willing to help out with most anything, to gain the admiration of those she helps. All this tends to lead to her being on the reckless side of things, acting first and asking questions later (Was it really a good idea to cannonball off that bridge with a dozen people watching? Did that girl actually deserve such a hard punch to the nose?) in an attempt to be the first to do things and to not be shown up.

She's not particularly outgoing or loud-mouthed, and is actually more on the awkward side when dealing with people -- while she does genuinely enjoy interacting with others, she can't help but feel shy, though she pushes through it, sometimes coming off as a bit of a bumbling dork as a result (to her dismay). When she feels strongly about something, she can ignore this softer-spoken side of hers and make her point heard. The confidence and self-assuredness she gives off is something of a front, made to deal with her insecurities -- the last thing she wants is to fail, especially in front of others. While she can avoid thinking about such things normally, after the fact -- when she realizes that she's failed and made a fool of herself -- it hits her hard. She worries far more about what people think of her than is healthy, and can't stand even the thought that others may see her as weak and incapable. When push comes to shove, she'll fight until she can no longer move, if only to avoid the stinging shame of failure.

All-in-all, Shoko's a genuine and hard-working person, who tries to make friends with everyone (at first, at least -- she isn't too afraid with making an enemy out of someone who's pissed her off, but she does try to avoid it), which helps save her from coming off as obnoxious and self-absorbed when she otherwise might. She's also surprisingly level-headed, for how she acts -- she usually knows what she's doing might be a bad idea, but she goes through with it anyways.

Additional Information:
- Shoko is 5'7" (170.2 cm) tall, and weighs 127 lbs.
- She has younger twin siblings, one a boy and the other a girl.
- She's played volleyball for several years, and is currently the star of her school's team. She is also a strong enough player that she was a part of Japan's national Youth (U18) women's volleyball team last year, and has a good chance at making the Junior (U20) team this year.
- Between volleyball and her adventurous whims, she doesn't leave much time for schoolwork, only just barely squeaking by as is required of her to be allowed to continue playing on her school's team.
- She has a weakness for 'cute' things, though she does her best not to let it show.
- Another thing she makes sure to keep on the down-low is her fear of darkness. It makes her more than a little uncomfortable.
- She likes skirts because she finds them cute, but always wears compression shorts or tights under them.
- She's broken her bones surprisingly few times, considering the risks and tumbles she's taken in her life.
- Finally, she's going through something of a late-teen crisis, one that many final-year high school students experience -- the realization that she has to figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life, made an even more difficult question thanks to her sub-par grades. Currently, she's avoiding thinking about it by just living her life as she has been, but deep down she knows she can't just play volleyball forever. The idea of growing up seems so consuming and inevitable, and it kind of scares her.

DIGIMON

Attribute:
Vaccine

Type:
Wind

Digivolutions:

In-Training / Baby

Gummymon

• Double Bubble - Spits out lots of adhesive bubbles, used to impair a target's movement.

Rookie / Child

Terriermon

• Bunny Blast - Shoots a small blast of green energy from his mouth.
• Terrier Tornado - Fires a little turbulence by using his ears to spin himself rapidly
• Bunny Pummel - Catch-all name for whenever Terriermon physically smacks something (which he has quite a fondness for doing), usually with his ears.

Champion / Adult

Gargomon

• Gargo Pellets - Fires bullets from both of his arms.
• Gargo Gale - A more powerful version of Terrier Tornado
• Dumdum Pummel - A more powerful version of Bunny Pummel, though Gargomon now prefers mostly using the vulcans on his arms (the things that are supposed to be used for shooting).

Ultimate / Perfect

Rapidmon

• Rapid Fire - Lets loose by firing a storm of energy blasts from his arm-cannons and bullets from the revolver on his back.
• Miracle Missile - Shoots devastating homing missiles from his arm-cannons
• Tri Barrier - Creates a green triangular barrier that deflects attacks.
• Rapid Wallop - Even as Rapidmon, with all of his long-range weaponry, he still enjoys getting up close and personal and hitting things.

Mega / Ultimate

Fujinmon

• Critical Cut - Uses the powerful blade of energy given off by his cutter-type arms to slash at his target. Can be used even at a distance, the damage in this case coming from the blast of wind created by the swing.
• Critical Pierce - The cutter-arm's energy extends in a blink of an eye up to a hundred feet, skewering anything in its path.
• Golden Barrier - A more powerful version of Rapidmon's Tri Barrier, it quickly disassembles the data of any attack that comes into contact with it rather than deflecting it, feeding into and empowering Fujinmon's own next attack.
• Malt Cyclone - His signature and strongest attack, Fujinmon summons a colossal blast of wind that can be used as both a targeted attack, or an AOE at the cost of power.
• Storm Smite - Some things never change. Fujinmon uses his extreme speed and mastery over the wind to deliver lightning fast, devastating physical blows.

DIGIVICE

Physical Description:

Image

Fully controlled through its touchscreen save for the power button and the home screen button. It's colored a deep red with white and black accents, and its screen has a strong green tint.

Special Characteristics:
- Shoko's digivice's most obviously useful feature is its mapping capability -- everywhere that Shoko walks, within a small sphere (~20m radius) around her, is mapped in detail.
- It can 'anchor' itself to one other digivice at a time, allowing Shoko to know where the holder of the connected digivice is at all times in relation to herself (and vice-versa, at least as far as the other digivice's capabilities can allow).
- The screen has a brightness setting, which can be turned way up to act as a flashlight.
- Being her old MP3 player, it can record sound and play it back. It also has all the music files that Shoko had on it, but they are all corrupted beyond recognition, the names being gibberish symbols and the music itself being nothing more than screeches, beeps, and other noises.

@PompousPrince Done! Writing a Digimon character while listening to Butter-Fly on repeat is pretty enjoyable haha.

Also, same for me, any of the characters who also live in Japan or have at some point can definitely have some sort of established relationship with Shoko. And, seeing as she's played a sport on an international level, it's entirely possible that any character has seen her on TV at some point -- though actually remembering her name and face and recognizing her is probably way less likely!

Oh, and I also really like Dutchguy's idea! It would let our character's know that there are others in the same situation as they are somewhere, and gives them an early goal of trying to meet up with each other.

[Holy Soldier]

@CencoKaguya is a bully in high school lol. So she can know him if she wants.

His digivice is also a watch. I guess it can be a smart watch in which the other tamers can communicate to him through, if he feels like answering.

[PompousPrince]

@Holy Soldier@Cenco@Duthguy I have so many versions of things I've written lying around that I thought I had put that in the description. When players enter the Digital World their DigiVices will start to ping in different directions indicating where the other DigiDestined are. We can do this differently of course if you guys want and just establish an open line right from the get go. I had always intended for DigiDestined to be able to communicate with one another through their DigiVices because that was one of the things they had introduced in season two.

[alexfangtalon]

Annabelle lived in America until she was about 11 or 12 then moved to Japan so there's that.

[Rin]

@CencoMayu is Japanese (in case the name wasn't a tipoff) so I guess she might have heard of Shoko at least? Hmmm.

[Experiment 249]

Can we just assume the digital world has some sort of translating effect so we can understand each other in there, or are we gonna go full language barrier shenanigans because Dan is just gonna be some random college student, not fluent in anything other than English... Plus it might be fun for the real world parts where they suddenly realized not everyone was speaking the sane language haha
