[OOC] Digimon- Digital Monsters: G-Shatter!

[tobiax]

Interest Check
It's late November, 2004, in Nerima, Tokyo, and something strange is about to happen. To the sounds of chimes new and old, several youths are whisked away into another world. They are the Digidestined, their task, gather and form the Royal Knights of Legend and cement their prophecy into reality!

Intrigue! A mysterious figure monitors their progress from the shadows! Is this watcher friend or foe? How does he/she know of the fledgling Chosen Children? And what does this mean for the newly hatched Digimon?

---

Okay, this is going to be a semi-realistic, somewhat serious Digimon RP, in which 10-13 human characters, played by as many players as we get, (Six or so?) do the above- form the Royal Knights. Now, there are currently all 13 cannon Knights revealed. Does that mean you're stuck with them? No. I'm allowing custom/non-cannon Knight like Digimon who are either already Holy Knight type, close enough to it, or a Warrior/Godman type. You can also design your own, just let me know about your choices and clear them with me first.

Some Rules

1, Casual RP Standards. Read 'em, understand 'em, use 'em. I don't want to read something that's short and impossible to understand and doesn't do anything but swell your character's ego.
2. Dynamic Characters are fun, I promise! No Sues. (But if your character's name is Susan that's fine.) Creativity is encouraged! (Just fit the theme please?)
3. Cooperate! We all want to have fun together, so let's all talk together about what we want and how we can all be happy. This includes me.
4. NO Godmodding, Bunnying, Powerplays, or openly defying what has been previously put in the OOC unless there's a reason for the last one, specifically discussed OOC.
--Godmodding= Playing someone else's character.
--Bunnying= Making someone helpless prey. Killing without a fight in one post, ignoring credible threats only in your own posts (as opposed to your character being ignorant to threats)- basically combat Godmodding.
--Powerplays= Having only your character make progress and gain power. If your Digimon Digivolves first every time (which it won't) and everyone else has to fight over the scraps, that's no fun.
5. Please no excessive swearing, overly gory posts, overly sexual content, or excessive drug use. A guy can occasionally smoke to make him more characterized, but don;t make it a crippling carton-a-day addiction, or have it endanger the health of others. You can f over your own characters, but don't f over anyone else.(As a general rule.)
6. There is no rule six.
7. Funnnnnn. Have some. Also if I have to take a disciplinary action, I will, either if your writing serially underperforms, if you're mean to other players, or deliberate breaking of rule 4. I don't want to kick people out, but I will if I have to.

Setting: I specifically picked 2004, because I figure it can be as 90's as we need it to be without having to be like "oh yeah, that didn't exist then". So, older style cellphones being popular, but no uber-widespread wireless internet is fine. Actually, that's what I expect. The more 90'sness the better. Its' a work of fiction so we can tweak it.

[Double]

Hmm... fiery hothead or perhaps a more stoic Samurai-esque personality? Decisions, decisions...

[tobiax]

Indeed.

[Rin]

So I might be changing up the champion and ultimate from the line I mentioned in the interest check, but we'll see how that turns out. Still going with War/VictoryGreymon as my mega though.

@DoubleHere's my vote, for what it's worth. :D

[Rin]

My human is basically done, so I'll post her and what I have so far for my Digimon I guess. ^^;

Digidestined

• Name: Mayu Ryusei
• Age: 14
• Gender: Female
• Designation:
• File Photo: Whee~
• Dossier: Mayu is rather insecure about herself, and is rather timid and shy when dealing with others. 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 Super Sentai/Power Rangers and Kamen Rider, and will actually be rather excited about being transported to a fantastic world filled with monsters. For some reason, she always carries her umbrella even on clear days, and becomes rather distraught if it is lost or taken away from her; it's kind of a security blanket for her, really.

[VitaVitaAR]

Um, out of curiosity, why are the age restrictions in place? Most of the canon characters were younger. ^^;

[Psyga315]

I also have a question. What exactly do you mean by "Control Method"? I know you mean "in order to make the Digimon less OP", but what are some examples of this so I could get an idea, since I'm thinking a million things.

[tobiax]

@Rin I like the character so far. But I do hope you give the Digimon more than one Technique, and describe them. Unfortunately on my 3DS the pic of your character won't load.
@VitaVitaAR Because I was going to have them all be the same age but that felt unfair. Plus slightly older characters can have better development and we're not in marketing.
@Psyga315 It's hard to described it exactly, but it'd be like the Digimon being very defensively oriented, or having strong attacks but being slow, or the Digivolutions not lasting long.

[Psyga315]

@Psyga315 It's hard to described it exactly, but it'd be like the Digimon being very defensively oriented, or having strong attacks but being slow, or the Digivolutions not lasting long.

@tobiax

Alright, so would "has strong attacks, but low energy and high cost" be an acceptable control?

Just to clarify, when I mean low energy, it usually means that after whooping ass for a bit, he will get very hungry or tired and can't fight when fatigued/hungry, and high cost meaning heavy sleeper or must eat a ton of food before feeling sated.

[Lost Cause]

Because I was going to have them all be the same age but that felt unfair. Plus slightly older characters can have better development and we're not in marketing.

@tobiax

OK, I'm not sure I understand that reasoning. Either way that's put my character plans in the bin.

[Rin]

Yeah, I don't really get that reasoning either. And the fact that almost every canon character is below that age range (the main exception being Savers, but as much as I love Savers it is kind of weird compared to the others) kind of blows a hole in it too. ^^; Hell, one of the best things about Tamers is the character development, and all of the main characters are under 14. ...And I know that in addition to Lost Cause, Vita was planning on making a character younger than 14 too so yeah. ^^;

I also don't get the "we're not in marketing" point at all.

On another note, I guess I'll have to wait until you get onto a computer so you can see Mayu's picture. And I had assumed that the attack field was for their "main" attack (I put three down for VictoryGreymon because I was undecided as to which was supposed to be the "main" one), but I guess that's just my little misunderstanding. ^^; And like I said, it is a WIP at the moment.

[Double]

Yuugami, Shinnosuke

• Name: Shinnosuke "Shin" Yuugami
• Age: 15
• Gender: Male
• Designation: 09
• File Photo
• Dossier: The son of a lawyer and a police officer, Shin possesses a strange combination of curiosity and skepticism. One minute he'll seem interested in investigating strange places or things, likely to learn what makes them tick. But, next thing you know, he's trying to offer some kind of logical explanation to debunk them. While he is currently undecided about whether to be a cop like his dad or lawyer like his mom, Shin has inherited his mom's tendency to become passionately attached to whatever problem or task he is trying to complete, often leading to frustration whenever he fails or when the solution slips out of his grasp. In those situations, he defaults into a fight or flight mentality, almost always choosing the latter.

Digimon Profile

Seat: 08
Control Method: Digivolutions tend to be exhausting, Veemon often requiring more time to rest and regain his energy than other Digimon, his later evolutions also have a greater tendency to revert him back to Fresh or In-Training form as a result of this.

~Fresh~

• Name: Chibomon
• Gender: Male
• Attribute: None
• Appearance: Snapshot
• Technique
  
  • Acid Bubbles: Spits acid bubbles to attack.
• Personality: Chibomon's personality appears to be somewhat inspired by that of a Samurai. He usually remains stoic, addressing others with various honorifics, but using the very specific -tono honorific for Shin, like a samurai addressing his lord. His personality remains mostly consistent through his advanced forms, though from Champion onwards he seems to become sightly more feral, probably due to the nature of those particular forms. The only exception to that rule is that of his Royal Knight form, in which he reverts fully to being like a stoic samurai.

~In-Training~

• Name: DemiVeemon
• Gender: Male
• Attribute: None
• Appearance: Snapshot
• Technique
  
  • Pop Attack: Rams into the opponent while hopping about.

~Rookie~

• Name: Veemon
• Gender: Male
• Attribute: Vaccine
• Appearance: Snaphot
• Technique
  
  • Vee Punch: Swings both of its arms in circles, striking the opponent.
  • Vee Headbutt: Knocks down the opponent with an intense headbutt.

~Champion~

• Name: Veedramon
• Gender: Male
• Attribute: Vaccine
• Appearance: Snapshot
• Technique
  
  • V-Nova Blast: Spits a high-temperature heat ray from its mouth.
  • Magnum Punch: Punches an enemy.
  • Hammer Punch: Powers up its fist and launches a punch at the enemy.

~Ultimate~

• Name: AeroVeedramon
• Gender: Male
• Attribute: Vaccine
• Appearance: Snapshot
• Technique
  
  • V-Wing Blade: Forms a V-shaped energy substance that seems to connect the horn on its snout to the edges of its wings, then soars towards the opponent. Although it cuts the opponent to pieces with the blades of its wings, its weakness is that the technique cannot be used if it is not in flight.
  • Dragon Impulse: Launches a shockwave which has the appearance of a dragon.
  • V-Breath Arrow: Shoots out a V-shaped heat beam that burns an enemy into a crisp in a second.
  • Magnum Crasher: Punches the foe with a fist of glowing energy.
  • Wind Guardian: Uses wings to call a flurry of winds that create a wind barrier.
  • Twister Saber: Charges up blades on arms with energy and then releases it in cutting waves.

~Mega I~

• Name: Imperialdramon Fighter Mode
• Gender: Male
• Attribute: Vaccine
• Appearance: Snapshot
• Technique
  
  • Positron Laser: Fires the Positron Laser.
  • Splendor Blade: Manifests a sword of light from its gauntlet and slashes down at the opponent.
  • Giga Crusher: Inserts the Positron Laser into the dragon-face on its chest, then emits all of its body's energy as a destructive energy wave.
• Personality: Unlike the other forms, Imperialdramon FM appears to drop all the samurai and honorable pretenses, instead reverting into a fiery warrior filled with an unquenchable thirst for battle. This "darker" aspect of the Digimon as a whole is somewhat reflected by the black armor he wears in this form.

~Mega II, Royal Knight~

• Name: UlforceVeedramon
• Gender: Male
• Attribute: Vaccine
• Appearance: Snapshot
• Technique
  
  • The Ray of Victory: Strafes with a beam from the "V"-shaped armor on its chest.
  • Ulforce Saber: Attacks using the saber that extends from its right V-Bracelet.
  • Tense-great Shield: Releases holy aura from its left V-Bracelet which becomes a barrier.
  • Dragon Impulse X:Covers self in the aura of a dragon and slashes through the enemy.

[Double]

I had to leave the Seat and Designation fields blank for now as I don't know what they mean. xD

[Psyga315]

I also don't get the "we're not in marketing" point at all.

@Rin

Think what he is trying to say is that the show had kids on it to attract a young audience, and since we're not trying to appeal to any audience, the age doesn't have to be what it was.

That said, I agree with you.

Also been meaning to ask why we shouldn't have a military parent. My guess is that there may be risk for the kid to involve the parent and turn the situation into a possible Kurata problem.

[tobiax]

@Lost Cause Okay, well, it's more a suggestion, and because I'm not going to pamper any one character, just to be fair. What were you thinking?
@Rin Maybe I want to be different. And there's no way the kids in Frontier are younger than 14, except maybe Tommy. I know it's a wip, but I was letting you know.
@Double For now they're not the most important. Basically Seat is the rank within the Royal Knights, and the Child designation is tied to that. Also curious- how will you be handling the Ulforce?
@Psyga315 Yes. Exactly.
Not sure what a Kurata situation is, but I want the characters to be in a stable schooling situation in roughly the same age group, and not have the risk of having to suddenly move, or reveal the Digital World to the military, as they will be going in and out mission/02 style. It's also a remnant of an odd prerequisite or two that I decided were too suspicious or unnecessary.

[Psyga315]

@Psyga315 Yes. Exactly.
Not sure what a Kurata situation is, but I want the characters to be in a stable schooling situation in roughly the same age group, and not have the risk of having to suddenly move, or reveal the Digital World to the military, as they will be going in and out mission/02 style. It's also a remnant of an odd prerequisite or two that I decided were too suspicious or unnecessary.

@tobiax

Aaaah, okay, that makes sense, I was guessing it to be the latter reason.

As for what a Kurata situation is...

Spoilers for Savers/Data Squad

Basically someone might get the "good" idea to start invading the Digital World.

Though, just a quick question for the former: would that extend to business people? My character's father and him moved to Nerima due to getting closer to his work (he works for a video game company) but they're not moving back to the US in the foreseeable future. Is that allowed?

[Double]

@tobiax I don't actually know yet.

[tobiax]

@Psyga315 Ah, that's fine. As long as he's half Japanese.
@Double Okay. Well it's a regenerative quality, most commonly used to logic than UlforceVeedramon can't be defeated by an instant delete attack, but it could be represented as a continual slow regeneration.

[Psyga315]

@Psyga315 Ah, that's fine. As long as he's half Japanese.

@tobiax

Alright, that sounds like a good compromise and it helps set up some new stuff for my character. I'll write up the bio soon.

[tobiax]

Alright thanks.
