Digimon Rp

[Cynthx]

I'll make sure to draw it when i get a chance. So all we need is one more person to join us. How will we manage that, seems Rin is uninterested now or something :o

[Rin]

Um, not quite, just kind of lost track since I was busy today and you've both been talking a lot about this. ^^;

EDIT: I'm fine with what's been discussed, and I'd probably prefer to have the passage of time in both worlds be roughly the same if that's okay.

[Cynthx]

Ahaha, i guess i shouldn't automatically assume, it just seemed like it. Please excuse my assuming arse. Anyways, it seems the majority wants similar time passage so similar time passage it is!
@Rin, any ideas on what your Digimon / Line might be?

[Rin]

@Rin, any ideas on what your Digimon / Line might be?

@Cynthx

I will figure that out once I decide upon which of my Digimon characters to use. XD Hmmm.

[Cynthx]

They all seem nice, idk which Digimon would be your preferred choice in this RP though.
(at least in the context of this RP, Dracomon is probably the best choice since there's usually some form of Dragon or Reptile Digimon. Up to you though.)

[Rin]

Eh, the listed partners aren't set in stone, it's more the characters themselves that's the important part since I seem to be one of those weird people who think the human characters are just as important as the Digimon. XD

I'll probably sleep on it I guess, but we'll see.

[Cynthx]

Of course of course. I think the Humans are important too, but not so important as to replace them with a Digimon (frontier cough cough)

Anyways, i'm actually re-evaluating my Digimon, i think i might go with Phascomon instead? Kiimon -> Yaamon -> Phascomon -> Wendigomon -> Mephismon -> Belphemon(RM)

Opinions?

@Cynthx

as for first, it took me a while to understand (or misunderstand) your argument with the human importance in Digimon. If you meant that the humans are important but not enough to warrant getting rid of digimon partners, then I would have said "not so important as to replace the digimon with them" but that's just me getting confused over a few words.

As for Phascomon, I think it fits the line especially at the mega/perfect stage.

Also, while Assaultmon canonically (at least where it was introduced) usually is the prior form of Cannondramon I ran into something interesting. Brachimon looks a lot like it could be pre-evolution of Cannondramon (while able to digivolve to Cannondramon, it's a joggress one.) and by the theme that could be one agumon line with greymon as champ (I'll probably use one someday but I'll hold with my centaur theme here. Don't feel pressure to not use that line but just a heads up, it'd probably be wise to not overlap digimon in a single RP(Rookie/Child and up))

Hell, my posts keep getting longer but I'll just get this out of the way, is there any specific (probably won't matter much anyway) setting for the RW or something specific in your rendition of DW?

P.S. Sorry if my GMT +2 Timezone inconveniences anyone.

[sMoKe]

Lets theoretically say that I am interested in joining in. Firstly, what quantity of digimon knowledge will be required? I have played DW1 and watched most of the first season...of the original. Most of what you guys are saying goes over my head a little. As in, anything referencing later shows/games. So, with that out of the way, my second question. How difficult would it be to fabricate my own digimon line beyond champ level (that is, the last ultimate and mega), given that drawing pictures will in no way be an issue?

[Cynthx]

@Windicator Yes, i suppose that regarding it as "not so important as to replace the digimon with them" would have been better, but i think Frontier sorta gets that point through right? Anyways.

I'm having one of those digimon partner crisis' i think, i now wanna use a Veemon lol. Look at me i cant make up my mind, what a shocker
Poyomon -> Chicomon -> Veemon -> XVeemon/Fladramon -> Magnamon -> Imperialdramon PM
The main idea behind using this vaccine Digimon is so that we can see the effects of the Virus on a Vaccine Digimon, and i have decided that the Virus has infected Veemon if i go with it. Thoughts?

The Real world can take place in 2015, and the Digital world wont be in too pretty of a state, but that's for later reveal ;3

@sMoKe I had an entire thing typed out and accidentally canceled fuuuu.

1. I don't require much knowledge, Adventure is probably the most you need to know. Watch the show at your own pace, just know that Frontier wont be represented very well in this RP, so don't worry too much about that one.

2. I'll provide a link to the Rookie List of Digimon. Rookie will be the main stage so i say it's the most important. As long as the line makes sense, either visually or in lour-wise, it's fine by me.
List of Rookie Digimon
I recommend you avoid X Antibody Digimon

[Windicator]

I recommend you avoid X Antibody Digimon

@Cynthx

@sMoKe X-Antibody Digimon were exclusive to a movie that's pretty much a self contained existence in as of its self.
It just might be hard but if I understand it right, you mean that you would like to create your own Digimon(s) it just could be worth checking this out.

If indeed I was wrong, I'd say that @Cynthx's advice is solid on that usually digimon tend to stay rookie (especially early) but maybe you just had to get some browsing through The visual catalog

(RIP me, having an unforeseen lack of inspiration for a character. Worst case, I'll port the one from the other RP...(really don't want to do that.))

[Cynthx]

@Windicator If i could give some advice towards creating a human character that goes well with the Digimon, try using more complimentary colors and avoid using similar colors

For those who aren't use to art terms, lemmie give you an example.
Tai and Agumon would be an example of complimentary, they compliment each other
Try to avoid using colors that are similar to the digimon.
Marcus and Agumon would be a good example of what i would recommend you avoid

If you need help i'm here

Edit: Since your Elecmon is primarily Purple, i recommend you use Yellows, mixed with whatever color you like.

Edit Edit: @sMoKe If you wish to make your own Digimon Creation, i'll offer my artistic abilities. I'v made a few Digifakes in my time. I do recommend using the originals though, just to make things easier.

[sMoKe]

Gotcha. Yeah, I had some ideas for creating, but considering how little I know and how much complexity it would take, I'll stick to originals. One thing though. Are we to assume that, as a general rule, each digimon as it progresses is fairly similar to others? That is to say, there isn't a handful of digimon that are absolutely stronger than all the rest?

If not, is this ok?

Yuramon -> Koromon -> Hackmon -> BaoHackmon -> SaviorHackmon -> Jesmon

[Cynthx]

@sMoKe That's fine by me, helps more then hurts to use the originals. As for the line's power, we all start off at a similar power. Hackmon works, but if you're going to use it, i totally recommend you spice up the Evolution line a little bit? As it stands, it just looks like the same Digimon growing up, rather then evolving and changing, if that make's any sense? Not to nitpick or anything, but i think it would be a whole lot more fun if you played around with the possible evolution ideas.
(I do not mind you using evolutions outside the listed possible, as long as it makes sense or as reason behind it)

[sMoKe]

Ok. Didn't know how free the evolutions could be.
My original plan was
...Hackmon -> Knightmon -> Slash Angemon -> Jesmon
so if its ok to mix lines...

[Cynthx]

@sMoKe That works for me! Sorta like the Patamon to Angemon deal i presume? For Hackmon to Knightmon?

[Windicator]

I'm not agains mixi it up and as such what I'm going to say can either be taken as an insult or an offense and maybe even as stating the obvious but:

I would presume that for the sake of balance of the game Knightmon corresponding a Champion level digimon displays power akin to such.

As for character, I think He is starting to come together (at least in my mind) probably using yellow as main color, dark gray/ black as secondary and something like purple as accent (isn't that what it is? I was never really taught anything about colors in school). ( as far as for characters ) There are also other details but I think it's just shaping and as such rapidly changing.

I'll probably get back to ya'll later but if I won't get anything up during the day I'm very busy today till evening.

[Cynthx]

@Windicator In reality, art terms aren't very hard to understand if you're really trying, so i can understand what you mean when you say Secondary Colors (the term Secondary Colors actually means to mix two Primary Colors, just so you know)
Accent is a better term in general to use when referring to the side colors, bringing the original color a new blend with side colors.
Yellow and darker colors like Purple, Black, and Dark Grey work fine, as long as you can mix them appealingly.

On a side note about Evolution, i will state that there is a basic ruling as to defeat and reverting
If a Champion Digimon is defeated, they revert back to their Rookie form.
If a Ultimate Digimon is defeated, they revert back to their InTraining form,
and as followed, if a Mega Digimon is defeated, they revert back to their Fresh form.
This can fluctuate as the power of the Digimon increase over time, but as it stands this is the set rules when it comes to being defeated.

@Cynthx

Thank you, I've never really described a color scheme but for that matter I'll probably look into it on the holidays (maybe even start to practice drawing something other than the kuramon).

@Cynthx

Just to try and grasp the wight of that rule, what would reverting to fresh mean in terms of game (Ex, Downtime, possible work needed to climb back. other possible effects?) for that matter and just curious when we are discussing evolutions. I believe we won't be able to stay at champion level when we jsut start but later when we've got ultimate/perfect for some time or maybe when we attain mega we could actually maintain Champion level as a "regular" form so that all the defeating rules apply but remove the need to revert to rookie out of exhaustion. (unless a battle drains some of that energy.)

[Cynthx]

what would reverting to fresh mean in terms of game

@Windicator

An good example would probably be the first time Agumon Digivolved to MetalGreymon, when the period of being at the Ultimate level ended, he reverted back to Koromon.
Similarly speaking, the first time Paildramon was formed, if we were to 'assume' he was a Mega for the moment, when the period of being at the Mega level ended, they would revert back to Chibomon and Leafmon.
This is just a balancing rule so that we dont have anyone abusing the Evolution system.
As for run time of stages.. no. Rookie is the most basic of stages for a Digimon to maintain, it may be true that as time goes by it gets easier to maintain forms, but at no point should the Digimon simply stay at the Champion stage. Tailmon was a special occasion in Adventure, but i believe the reason for her Champion maintaining was the fact that she had WAY WAY more endurance for that sort of thing. If you wish to have a Champion level digimon as a partner, however, that will have to be discussed, as certain digimon work and others dont.

EDIT @sMoKe on a side note i totally found a cool evolution line for Hackmon i thought i would share? Imgur is blocked for me atm so hopefully this works i.imgur.com/jdWJWio.jpg
