Digimon Rp

[tobiax]

Mostly just what the Digivolution methods are, and what out thematics are like. There are also things I may suggest later. Also, if I did it right, I'm GMT - 5.
Also hello @Windicator.

[Cynthx]

@tobiax Evolution would work similarly to Adventure and 02, at it's basic form, the stronger you and your Digimon become, the easier it is to maintain higher forms, and the further you get. In this RP, however, if you decide to choose a Vaccine type, or have it evolve, it will be infected with the Virus and will be a little unstable around people, meaning it will attack to kill more often. There ware ways to combat this, the biggest one being a Digivice, but that can only get you so far. Rookie takes reminding, Champion takes a Digivice, Ultimate and Mega are unknown so far.

Seems like Windicator is quite the lagger when it comes to timezones, lol.

@Cynthx

I would call that being ahead by 7 hours.

[Sheeny]

@CynthxSo we are timezone buddies! I didn't even notice lol. Question is though, are you a 'Murican or a Canuck?

[Cynthx]

@Sheeny I would in fact be 'Murican

A little more closure on the Partnering system, it's similar to Tamer's when you and the Digimon form a bond of some kind, you receive a Digivice and that Digimon becomes your partner. One of my favorite methods of partnering~
Anyways we're nearly at the max of how many peeps i'd like in here, which is 5, if @tobiax decides to join, then all we need are the finished character choices and we can start!

[Sheeny]

Guess we're not country buddies then, lol.

So you mentioned Tamers partnering. (Which is awesome) and Adventures world. Would say our human characters be trapped in the digital world?

[Cynthx]

@Sheeny For plot purposes, i wish not to share that information, but we will be in the Digital world at some point. By the way, might you have a Human ready?

[tobiax]

@Cynthx So what's this virus thing? Also, thematically, where does it lie- is it more light-hearted, or somewhat serious and/or with grim highlights? I was mainly asking what the method on achieving Mega was, and if Armor Digivolution was extant or not. Also, are we playing it to where human characters know nothing about the Digital World and/or Digimon? Or is there potential for an exception?

[Cynthx]

@tobiax For plot purposes i'd like to refrain from revealing the identity of the Virus, and this totally isn't because i'm still debating on which ultimate suits this role? Like i'v narrowed my choices down, but i'm still deciding? If anyone has any suggestions as to what might make a good Virus lemmie know, and i'll take the recommendations into consideration.

As for Digivolution methods? Well, as long as it's not frontier's style of evolution it's fine. I'll hate on Frontier forever lol, it's not a favorite of mine. This does not mean that Digimon that happen to use the evolution statue whatever's, such as Ranamon or Wolfmon, can't be used as normal evolution's for partners. I once used a line that used the Agunimon line, with a Flamon as my partner, it was rather cute for an concept.
Jogress is also another version of evolution that i would actually like to attempt? I guess you'd call it DNA Digivolving but i'll call it Jogress, thank you 02 sub for that.
Also, i hear that in a upcoming Digimon game they're gonna release a new form of evolution called ExE evolution? From what i'v seen of it, it's like Jogress, but the Human is also involved? It's rather secretive though, unfortunately. If you have any cool Evolution ideas, feel free to share!

Also, no, there is no exception for any Human to know what a Digimon is in advance. Whether or not a person flips out when they meet a Digimon, or goes googoo eyes over it is up to you, but there shouldn't be any prior knowledge of their existence. (and if you REALLY wanna do this route, the only, ONLY reason for anyone to know anything about Digimon would be from the news, in which they'd most likely report on the appearance of strange creatures in Tokyo. But you'll only know them as just that, strange creatures, not Digimon. Understood?)

[Sheeny]

@Sheeny By the way, might you have a Human ready?

@Cynthx

Name: Ami Nagano
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Appearance: Ami is a short, slightly wider set girl with medium length hair, in a hazelnut brown colour. She keeps her hair pulled into two ringlet pigtails, with curved-in bangs ending at the top of her glasses. Ami’s glasses are oval shaped and cover her dark grey eyes. She wears a floral, white headband and a light yellow sweater with two large pockets, and sleeves that end at her elbows. There is a graphic on the front of her shirt that displays three flowers forming the shape of a heart. Ami also sports dark grey capris and flip-flops.

(I’ll craft up a drawing of her soon. I just got home at midnight.)

[tobiax]

@Cynthx I'm a sucker for Jogress (the process. I just call it DNA Digivolving half the time.). I may mix Japanese and English terms, since I watched dubbed but delved into Wikimon a lot semi-recently. Okay, so this Virus is a plot point of some kind? Okay. I'm likely to play a Digimon who's Virus attribute either way. Well, I have a request/suggestion/question- what do you think of transcending Mega Level? This is just me, as I have trouble deciding and also I like to push the envelope, but for most custom Digimon I've made, I have made two levels past Mega, but that involved a Biomerge like state above Mega, then another level afterward, but it involved a Jogress of the aforementioned stage and an external power of a similar sort to Spirit Evolution, not that I'm asking to include that. As a result, most of the Digimon RP's I've run have included that possibility. Anyway, that's not entirely related.
I've heard nothing of that game.

[Windicator]

which ultimate suits this role? Like i'v narrowed my choices down, but i'm still deciding? If anyone has any suggestions as to what might make a good Virus lemmie know, and i'll take the recommendations into consideration.

@Cynthx

I'm taking this being the Ultimate/Mega (damn dubs messing up the dialect). if so I'll name a few albeit the are a bit cliche:

• Diablomon will come to everyone's mind who have seen the Digimon movies "Our War game" and "Diaboromon strikes back". It's listed as Virus (an exception in its line) in the Digimon Reference Book but in games is usually listed as Unknown type (Could actually explain immunity to said virus)
• Apocalymon, Yeah, every Adventure 01 fan probably saw this coming, It would probably fill the role of the Big Bad as an iconic villain from ages past.
• Lucemon: (Falldown Mode) (Satan Mode) (Larva Mode) Is one of The Seven Great Demon Lords. While I don't have much to say I won't discriminate its potential just because it made its debut in the Frontier series while that is the reason for my lack of information.
• The Seven Great Demon Lords Formerly mentioned as a feature on the former candicate but We could also include all of them and that could also play into Ogudomon and it's curious Attribute dilemma as it's been listed as Vaccine in the reference book and Virus in the TCG (Some keep this as the most canonical source due to its "Concern with balance" tough I'd not take it as final usually) that could play into the whole Vaccine thing.

Jogress is also another version of evolution that i would actually like to attempt? I guess you'd call it DNA Digivolving but i'll call it Jogress, thank you 02 sub for that.

@Cynthx

While Fusion / Crosswars made a point of differentiating it I've not actually seen the difference and the function seems to be the same but theories have risen on the With The Will (might be a familiar) Forum though.

Also, i hear that in a upcoming Digimon game they're gonna release a new form of evolution called ExE evolution? From what i'v seen of it, it's like Jogress, but the Human is also involved? It's rather secretive though, unfortunately.

@Cynthx

Well, this isn't official but I think that one condition for the ExE Evolution is being defeated or maybe even death of a Digimon and it's probably related to the new Omnimon / Omegamon thing call'd Black knight executor

Here it is

BTW, May this virus have been inspired by the Tri movie?

[Cynthx]

Well, I have a request/suggestion/question- what do you think of transcending Mega Level?

@tobiax

I'd like to keep it at a 6 stage evolution if i can, that being Fresh - Intraining - Rookie - Champion - Ultimate - Mega.
Any stage past the Mega stage, which is actually called the Super Mega (read text to learn about it) is a stage that if we ever do decide to tackle, would most likely be a Biomerge tbh.

@Windicator Xros Wars is a little different, where instead of combining to reach a higher level, you're combining to increase power? Shoutmon never really goes past the assumed Rookie stage, except for that one thingy with Omegashoutmon? Either way, i'd like to keep Xros Wars out of this (digimon born from Xros wars, like Mad Leomon or Monimon are fine to use though. Just not the Shoutmon X3 or X6 or whatever.)
And initially no, i didn't consider Tri's thing when deciding this plot.

[Windicator]

@Cynthx

Having actually review my statement I can see where the confusion arose as I really F'd up Because I didn't link it to This while referring to it. I stand my point that pretty much any way you add Digimon together (outside of the plot bending Xcross) would net the same result (Imo) but your word is final.

[tobiax]

@Cynthx I'm aware. But Super Ultimate is a dodgy classification, seeming to only apply in rare cases, such as UlforceVeedramon Future Mode, Daemon, and Arkadimon, and not being officially stretched to things like Omnimon or Alphamon. That and it never appeared in a game or anything other than the V-Tamer Manga, wherein it was a major plot point, so... Either way, I'm fine with capping at Mega.
May we play more than one character?

[tobiax]

@Windicator

That's nothing new, conceptually. See: Death Evolution, See: DeXDorugamon, DeXDorugreymon, DeXDorugoramon.
Looks like a redesign of Omegamon Zwart, to be honest. Looks cool, but the ExE probably has to do with Death X and Death Evolution, which isn't really that new, seeing as SkullGreymon is technically a Death Evolution.

[Cynthx]

I'd decided that if you wish to go this route, you may involve a Dark Evolution line to go along with the normal line of Evolution. Dark Evolution only takes affect from Perfect and up.
I'v decided that i'll use Sagittarimon -> BlackImperialdramon as a Dark Evolution line, replacing Magnamon -> Imperialdramon PM.

@tobiax The max amount of tamers is one, the max amount of supporting characters is as may as you can personally handle. I will make a few supporting or antagonist characters when the time comes.

[Windicator]

@Cynthx

It just somehow popped to my head after just thinking the possibility of Dark evolution to have Death-X-Dorigure(Grey)mon (or just the Regular of that if deemed more fitting) that would end in Megidramon. If any one of you wants to have either of those I'm not too picky with the line there being room to change.
(Example: Skull Baluchimon -> Skull Satamon)

[Windicator]

RIP Doublepost

Now I feel like an ass.

That's nothing new, conceptually.

@tobiax

I would call that back to the Joggress, Gattai, DNA, Whatever mess but for that matter it'd be the first real time they introduce that as a mechanic in-game (though I could swear Death has triggered at least a single digivolution in-game before.) and it could actually play a role (seeing that in the setting the game has you raise your Digimon that will eventually die if for nothing else, of old age so that it will be reborn.) As means of Evolution? It'd probably just get tossed aside outside of game medium as it really serves more as a trigger feature (seemingly)

To talk about your example of Death-X Digimon, It could have multitude of explanations (If I didn't miss the concrete explanation) some around X-antibody collecting scrap data, other that it's because they were offspring of Death-Xmon (which would probably be explained to be metaphorical for the dying of Yggdrasil or digital world)

I won't delve much deeper as I've not got anything more concrete.

[Bigg Slamm]

im interested, but i feel your full according to your guide lines. i have no doubt in my mind what digimon i would want should you include me: tentomon, kabuterimon, altur kabuterimon(red or blue depending on situation), and herakle kabuterimon.
