Digimon Roleplay

[Demon Shinobi]

So, I have a lot of digimon ideas, but I'm worried about putting the metaphorical pen to paper if nobody actually likes digimon. I also love to hear suggestions and ideas as well. Still, I'd like to discuss.

I'm think 6-8 people. Which isn't really a large group, but that's what it is considered in the tags.
I'm not expecting to move to fast because of work and school and the ever present relationships of life lol
But still, at least a post a week from everyone.
If you're interested in Digimon and would like to here some ideas let me know.

I do not run things on a first come first serve basis. I'll accept any number of CSes up to a date that is not yet set, and then from there I will approve the people who will form the group. Assuming anybody likes digimon like I do

So! If you have ideas, or want to hear some, this thread is the perfect place to start!

Aw man, I keep wanting a Digimon RP to work out, but...

Here's hoping this one is the one that sticks I guess. ^^;

[LordLinguinie]

Interested here. Would we each pick our partner digimon and go through the digital world like the original? Or are the digimon coming to the real world? And are we going to be fusing with our digimon?

@Rin

Same! I really want it to happen and go for a while.

@LordLinguinie

This is where I get into some of my ideas. Which I will explain in more detail later today since there is at least a little interest.

[DangDude]

Definitely interested!

[Demon Shinobi]

Alright!
So I have a couple ideas on how we could possibly do this. Do tell me your thoughts on the matter!

1) The Usual Way - We will create the tamer, and we will decide on our digimon. Obviously this means each player has two characters. The human and digimon should be equally defined individuals with their own thoughts and ideas, even if they agree on almost everything. To do anything otherwise would go against the point of having a sentient partner.

2) The Usual Way Revised - So we will each create our tamer, but you will talk with one other player who will play your digimon. Every player still has two characters, but this increases the interaction and leads to better fleshes out characters for both digimon and tamers. And if we're separated it ensures no single player is writing on their own, unless the situation calls for it. It takes a bit more trust and responsibility.

3) Frontier - Much like the fourth digimon series we are off to collect the legendary spirits. This is pretty self explanatory. The downside is it because more like a battle shounen than an adventure and what have you and each character might not get an ultimate form. The upside is we get to focus on a single character. I loved Frontier and the idea, buuuuuuut well you know.

4) We become the digimon - Pick a digimon and a digivolution line. The idea is very much in the vain of Pokemon Mystery dungeon. You wake up in the digital world in a digimon body. You're choice of course, unless you'd prefer somebody else chooses for you.

5) Digimon World - We'll treat it a bit like a game. You can collect other digimon, and they'll be more along the lines of pokemon, but you can focus on completing missions for other digimon or humans. Be a part of a guild. Personally, this is my least favorite. You're delegating digimon to roles akin to that of pets or machinery but they still have personalities and thoughts of their own.

@Demon ShinobiI'd be pretty fine with any of the first three I guess. Mind you, I'm old and got into the franchise via Adventure so I'd probably feel more at home with one of the first two, but I'm willing to try a Frontier-style thing if it comes down to it.

@Rin

Duly noted! Since you got into it with Adventure maybe I'll lean towards either 1 or 2. I do think 2 would be a good fit though. As long as we all collaborate.

[LordLinguinie]

The only problem I have with the second once is if one member of the duo up and disappears, that leaves the other one stranded. But all of them sound great to me. The first would probably be my first choice, but I'm open to any of them

[Veradana]

@Demon Shinobi

1, 2, or 4 is fine for me. I agree that with someone else playing your Digimon it'd be easy to get stuck, but I do think it'd be fun. I'd like to be able to double as a wild digimon too, if that's cool with you.

[Demon Shinobi]

@LordLinguinie@Veradana
The concern is duly noted! I'll probably get started on drafting up some plot and story line ideas for the group to follow. I will always take suggestions and ideas into consideration.

I want to wait at least 24 hours before I make any final decision, but given 1 and 2 seem to be the fan faves as they are fairly iconic it'll probably be one of those. If the idea for two still makes people a bit more uneasy I'll stick with one.

As for doubling up as a wild digi I won't mind, but you'll need to go a bit more into specifics before I give the go ahead.

Newcomer here. I think that no.5 could be combined with no.1. One digimon per character, solving problems in digimon world and whatsoever (Like in Digimon Data Squad).

[Vongola_Hasayo]

Interested! I like option 2 the most, followed by 3.

@Huggo

I almost forgot about that. It's very possible.

@Vongola_Hasayo
I'm thinking with my ideas. Sometime tomorrow, since I said I'd wait at least 24 hours, I'll have a focused point for us to go off of though, taking all of what we have into consideration.

[Deadlyrose9641]

i would be most interested in idea 2,

[Rin]

Hmmm, I guess it's okay to start thinking up character ideas now, right? ^^; Not sure if I want to go with the obligatory gogglehead or aloof rival (even if one of them would be fun to try), so will probably try and figure out some other archetype like... I dunno, we'll see I guess. "Cool big sis" or "cutesy little sis" seem to be the two ideas that are popping into my head right now though, but knowing me that'll probably change when I actually get around to writing stuff up. XD

[Demon Shinobi]

Alright! So, I meant to post here yesterday, but some things happened and I got caught up in a game night kinda thing with friends.

So as of right now, I'm having trouble deciding between idea 1 and 2. The reason being is I think both have pros and cons that more or less even out. Sorry I'm a little indecisive on it. I genuinely want to make this enjoyable for everyone. I'm leaning more towards idea 2 though. give me one last head count for what you think you would prefer on this matter.

Regardless of that!
We'll have a somewhat balanced mix of time in the digital world and the real world. IE we will be traveling back and forth, though not the same way from Digimon Adventure 2. Feel me? I'll come up with how we do it a little later, though I have some ideas to play around with.

I'm debating a discord or piratepad. Probably the piratepad for collaborative posts. Although this'll mostly be for battles if necessary. Also good for jotting ideas and what not.

Still, I'm thinking of some primary antagonists. I'm thinking of something like 3-5 main bosses, and then about 6-7 lesser villains to challenge us throughout in the beginning. Who? I'm not sure just yet. Maybe for the main bosses one or two devil/demon like digimon. like the sins. You get what I'm saying. Hopefully.

[Rin]

@Demon ShinobiI mean I'm fine with either 1 or 2, really, and willing to go with whatever everyone else wants so... There is my unhelpful opinion on the matter. The setup sounds fine to me, since being able to switch between the "real" world and the digital world opens up a lot more room for developments than just setting it in one. And... I'd prefer to use Discord, really, mostly because I'm already using it for a few things anyways. XD

[Keyblade87]

If there's room I'd love to join. Been on a major Digimon kick right now. Anyway, if I get a say I'll admit 2 and 3 are my favorite choices.

[Demon Shinobi]

WHOO!!
Getting hyped!
Alright, so I'll decide and get working on the game soon.
In the ooc you'll know how we will be running it. I hope everyone is committed as I plan to be. And I hope you're all as patient as I can be when it comes to the game as I explained in the first post.
