[OOC] Hey There, Kid! - Digimon Adventure 01-Themed Roleplay

[Crimson Flame]

New pic added. Although I also have the other one just for reference to the outfit.

Can I add her to the character tab?

[SleepingSilence]

@tobiax *awkwardly prods*

Not that it particularly matters. But again assuming you have to even follow the character sheet basics. You still don't have a character quote for your digimon. (And of lesser importance/likely mistakenly.) You have the digimon hidden inside your character's hider, so they're not actually visibly separated.

Maybe someone else will tell you, but figured might as well give it a try. ^-^'

[AlteredTundra]

@SleepingSilence I appreciate you mentioning it, but please let me and Hero handle the GMing comments/directives. Though, I don't know how I overlooked that.

[AlteredTundra]

Also @Crimson Flame, everything looks good on my end. Feel free to move her over whenever you can.

[SleepingSilence]

@Altered Tundra So I have a simple follow up question regarding the character's personality. This isn't meant to be anything other than curiosity. Since I've already changed it to something I'm still satisfied with, merely because I was able to fit everything in a more condensed space. I was told that my character's personality was considered too expansive. "Less is more" I was told, which seems to imply its not really about depth, more so the word count. My original word count was 318, a 10 words less than your own current word count. Presuming everyone is following the same rules. I know others may also have equal/longer word counts in future, since only a minimum was described in the CS, not a specific maximum.

I know (or at least have to good-faith assumption) that the intention was implying my mentally burdened character had "too much going on" though I do still intend for that character to display such quirkiness in various ways. I simply didn't bog down my personality sheet by needing to explain them. Etc etc. I don't believe I ever had a problem with repeating myself/using too similar descriptions for padding sake. I was merely focusing on detail, when it probably is better to just show it anyway. Because I still intend my character to behave strangely until the other character mellows them out a bit which will be a direct character arc I hope to achieve.

I was just curious on this, now that everyone has much more time to reflect on their character sheets.

I hope since one delay has already proven to be necessary, this doesn't come off in anyway other than curiosity for asking.

On the off-chance that somebody doesn't post their character sheet by that point. Are we moving forward regardless? (And just hoping those will eventually get around to it?) Will we wait/be put in hiatus for other (hopefully) more active participants? Etc.

Still looking forward to getting the show on the road. ^_^

Edit: And duly noted.

@SleepingSilence

In the case of Izzy's personality, as compared to the others, we felt that some of the bits you included in your first draft was pouring into other avenues that didn't seem like the first two paragraphs or really reflective into the kind of girl that Izzy is. And it's fine if you still plan on having her acting that kind of way. It's not breaking her character because it's stated in the sheet, if not in a less-specific way. As

As for Conrad's WC vs Izzy's, I felt the number of words I used was more than enough to explain Conrad's personality without going into either a, too much detail, or b, other characters' avenues. Though, I feel like our two characters are two totally different ones, so different strokes for different folks and all that.

Regarding the current amount of characters and the two that still need to be submitted, come the 23rd, that part of your question(s) will be answered. But, regardless if we have 6, 7, or 8 by that time comes, the RP will go ahead as planned (start date currently scheduled for the week of the 23rd).

a last note: never apologize for asking any questions. We welcome any and all questions. <3

[Stern Algorithm]

Heyo!

Currently working on a character. Just wanted to pop in and say hi.

[AlteredTundra]

Heyo!

Currently working on a character. Just wanted to pop in and say hi.

@Stern Algorithm

Glad to have ya aboard! Which crest did you end up end up deciding on?

[Stern Algorithm]

Sincerity!

[AlteredTundra]

@Stern Algorithm Roger that! I shall put down your reservation, then!

[SleepingSilence]

Just stepping in to say I'm still interested...

I suppose both other people dropped out without public word/simply booted and the CO-GM's CS hasn't been updated/changed. (I'm assuming this is still apart of their break.)

If there's somehow anyway I could been of assistance, feel free to ask.

[AlteredTundra]

@SleepingSilence Hero's been going through some IRL stuff, so there hasn't been a chance to get it done. So don't worry about it.

As for the other two, I haven't heard from them since they initially stated interest, so the decision was made to free up their slots.

[mickilennial]

Viva la competition.

[Magio]

( The lurker cometh!)

But real talk though, I've been spying this as a lurker for a while, and if the Crest of Hope is still free'd up, I'd be more than happy to
steal acquire take apply for it! I can get a sheet done fairly quickly so I'm not holding the rp up? Only if it hasn't been snatched up already!

[Stern Algorithm]

Here is my character submission. Please elt me know what you think.

I also wanted to ask, since I am trying to go for a more 'earth-elemental'-based Digimon I am a little put-off by the fact that the baby Tsubumon spits acid bubbles, and the Ultimate Brachimon is a 'plesiosaur-type' and has some water-based attacks. Weird. Would it be allowable if I tweak the attacks slightly to make them more earth-based, and can I add a few more level-appropriate attacks to the Ultimate or Mega forms, since my Digimon has never been featured as a main nor as a villain in any of the series/games?

Ishaq Islam; Crest of Sincerity

Ishaq Islam

”...yes. I'm [happy] to be of service...”

---

Name: Ishaq Islam
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Crest: Sincerity
Crest/Digivice Color: Bright Green
Appearance Details

Ishaq has dark skin, dull, red eyes, and short, white hair that he puts no effort into maintaining. Unlike his name, which means 'smile', or 'laugh', Ishaq often wears a tired, expressionless visage; an impenetrable poker face to those who don't know him. Still, he fulfills requests and expectations without complaint, as seen as mostly agreeable. Though he does not participate in any sport per se, his tendency to perform various tasks, menial and labor-intensive included, has kept him well enough in shape. Being slightly taller than his peers has caused him to be likened to an ox, or a robot, though his slight, lazy slouch does take a few inches off.

Though he does not give off the impression that he is hiding anything, most people do not understand him, or have no idea what is going on in his head. So while his manner does not cause people to necessarily distrust him, his supreme lack of input is off-putting. Ishaq dresses simply, wearing whatever was decided for him by others, and sports the occasional 'odd-choice'; an unfitting gift from some well-intentioned relative, no doubt. Most of he time, he is seen wearing a loose, baggy t-shirt and similarly loose jeans, with slightly worn out tennis shoes. Ishaq tends to pick comfort and familiarity, and likes how loose clothing obscures his physique. Ishaq often keeps his hands in his pockets.

Personality

Ishaq is someone who has adopted the path of least resistance. Too smart for his own good, Ishaq arrived at various conclusions to the detriment of his own personality. He learned that as a child, he would be judged by adults. As a brother, he would be judged by his siblings. As a student, he would be judged by his teachers. As a classmate he would be judged by his peers. He saw the consequences of those who acted out of line, and he learned the many, many folktales and fables that told him what happened to disobedient and belligerent children. And he was prematurely tired. Tired of fighting the current, tired of trying to have his way when so many other voices were also clamoring to be heard. It was simpler, so much simpler to just go with the flow.

So Ishaq created around himself a world much more draconian than it actually was. He became his own jailer. He became the 'yes man'. He did whatever was expected of him, whatever was requested of him. he would make himself the square peg that fit in the square hole. He made himself reliable. He suppressed his own wants, desires, and opinions because other people had better ideas what was best for him. There was no need to waste energy and act out of line. He just needed to be patient. But in his heart of hearts, he hated himself for what he had forced himself to become.

History Synopsis

Ishaq was born in Morocco, but he immigrated to the United States of America with his family when he was very young, and has fairly vague memories of his homeland. Ishaq was always a quiet, gentle child, with decent grades. From a young age, Ishaq learned that strong personalities tend to clash and create conflict. As the fourth child among seven siblings, and with very close ties to extended family in the form of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins of all varieties, conflict was a common occurrence for young Ishaq. It didn't help that his family took some 'ethnic pride' in their fiery personalities and stubborn tempers. All Ishaq ever wanted was for the conflict to stop, yet in his attempts to stop it, he found himself becoming just another source of conflict.

Ishaq realized that he lacked self-control. In order to obtain self-control, Ishaq developed a warped sense of morality: Evil was the one who allowed his selfish whims to run unchecked, while Good was the one who did deeds of selflessness, even against his will. So Ishaq set out to erase his 'self'. Ishaq completely missed the point of 'desiring to do good for good's sake'. In his mind, there was an equation, he was in essence, choosing to trade his sense of self for an end to conflict. He was making a deal with higher moral beings to achieve what he saw as perfection of self in return for a peaceful environment. Peace achieved through nihilistic zen. Whenever his suppression of himself seemed to de-escalate a situation, he told himself that holding it in was worth it in the end, but whenever things did not pan out, he chided himself that he hadn't done enough, that the escalation was due to his own inadequacies. In this way, he muddled his way through elementary school, but in middle school, with the coming of adolescence, Ishaq is finding his own bottled rage increasingly more difficult to control.

Misc

• Theme
• As Ishaq's last name suggests, he is Muslim, and this is something that he must contend with, both in the sense of dealing with stereotypes, as well as reaching spiritual peace. Sincerity is a major virtue in Islam; it will be part of Ishaq's journey to truly understand what that means.
• Ishaq likes American Country and Soft Rock.
• Ishaq's favorite food is seafood.
• Ishaq is a bit of a technology nerd, and likes building plastic model robots.

Armadimon

Armadimon

You believe me, don't you?

---

Name: Armadimon
Digimon Type: Data
Personality

Armadimon is earnest to a fault, friendly, and empathetic. He always speaks his mind and is quick to compliment others. Unfortunately for Ishaq, Armadimon can easily sense his mood and will often unknowingly reveal Ishaq's dishonesty. Armadimon wants everyone to get along, and will communicate with those he feels are having emotional difficulty.

However, Armadimon can also be quick to criticize, especially if he feels that someone is not 'playing nice with others'. In this way, he can seem like an over-bearing mother at times. He also tends to vocalize general complaints, and be something of a 'captain obvious'.

EDIT: To better fit the Hard/Earth/Metal/Seismic elemental theme I'm going for, I made the following Digimon changes:

• Replaced Tsubumon attack, "Acid Bubbles", with "Small Metal Beads"
• Replaced Brachimon attack, "Brachio Bubble", with "Sand Shower"
• Replaced Brachimon attack, "Aqua Shatter", with "Grave Bone"
• Added Brachimon attack, "Guard Rock"
• Added Cannondramon attack, "Ultimate Quake"
• Added Cannondramon attack, "Gravity Press"
• Added Cannondramon attack, "Destroyed Rush"
• Added Cannondramon attack, "Light Barrier"
• Added Cannondramon attack, "Spy Focus", taking some artistic liberties.

All attacks are taken from Digimon of the same or lower evolutionary stage.

[AlteredTundra]

@Stern Algorithm Oh yes, that's perfectly fine by me. Change/add/remove whatever you need to fit the vision of your line. =)
