At 2 am, all the lights in the city went out. When they came back on a moment later, a sprawling manor had appeared in the city's center. Since then, even more strange, nearly paranormal happenings have been taking place in the city, the danger growing by the hour as missing persons reports come piling in. When it seems like things are about to reach a fever pitch, a handful of individuals crossed the impassable barrier, and entered the mansion. Hi there! As you can plainly tell, this RP is going to be a Digimon RP taking place in a city in the 'real world', after a digital incursion takes place and leaves a big haunted house style manor and a bunch of Digimon to mess with the city. This RP was partially inspired by Digimon Ghost Game, which sparked an idea I had sitting around from a couple months ago.
The Digivice for this RP will be the Vital Bracelet, and function with a sort of bio-feedback trait between the humans and their Digimon partners. As a result, we'll be using a bit of a branching Digivolution tree for partner Digimon, with the closeness/synchronization of the two determining what they get, until the next stage is reached for the first time, locking the previous form in. To do this, you'd pick one Digimon for each stage from Baby to Rookie, then an array of Champions, Ultimates, etc. (probably three Champions, five Ultimates, something like that) and see how it goes from there in the RP.
I'm looking to keep this a small-ish group of players (probably five maximum), and for the purpose of variety, I'll be offering a list of archetypes for both humans and Digimon. I'm looking for mature storytelling (not necessarily 18+, but having a sense of tact and intellectual grace when handling issues, and an ability to accept the presence of consequences), so characters that are very young might not suit the RP very well.
I may end up making my own player character for this, but I don't have intentions to do so right now.
Archetypes
The Goggle Head- Typically stubborn in one way or another, and known for their strong outward emotions, Goggle Heads tend to be athletic in some way. The Lieutenant- One of the strong-types, who usually backs up the group leader, or coordinates before acting if they end up leading. The Loner- Usually distant for a mix of reasons, if they decide to speak up, it's usually powerful. The Sage- Wise beyond their years, or older than the others, the Sage offers sound advice. The Joker- Smile, and the world smiles with you. Make others laugh and they can't hate you, right? The Romantic- This character is defined by their connection to others, or the desire for such a connection. The Unique- A creative individual who has their own way of doing things, and notices different things than everyone else does. The Savant- Really good at a few things, not so great at most others. The Social Butterfly- Always making friends and socializing, and very good with words more often than not. The Believer- Truly convinced in the existence of occult phenomena, though maybe through a not so dire lense, the believer attempts to enact the paranormal, with little success. The Tragic- A little more rain has fallen in this character's eyes, and it colors their world view.
The Classic- A powerful Digimon who tends to take on a fire or dinosaur-like quality. The Wolf- A beast-type Digimon with a caring personality. The Bio Warrior- A Digimon who takes a plant-like and insectoid forms. The Dragon- A hard-hitter reptilian Digimon with a serious power requirement and/or a glaring weakness. The Metal Menace- An armored or machine type Digimon who hits hard, and can take harder, but are susceptible to interference. The Renegade- A Digimon of the undead or demon type, or with a classically virus nature, that breaks away from the sway of its kind. The High Flyer- A Digimon of the wing who makes for great transportation, though they typically make a clear target. The Sanctified- A Holy Digimon who can be a great boon to a well bonded partner. The Deep One- An Aquatic Digimon, typically with situational but useful powers. The Puppet- A synthetic Digimon whose strings are being pulled, inside or out. The Bizarre- A strange Digimon who fights in an odd way, or doesn't fit well into other types. The Twin- One of two Digimon who hatched from the same egg and are similar. They will be spread between two players, especially if we have more than three.
