"Time to take it to the next level, I guess."

Zakai inhaled a deep breath, filling his lungs completely before he exhaled.

As his limousine pulled into D-Connect he again began to wonder why someone would spend so much money on getting him here. The flight was understandable, but a limousine for each one of the selected Digimon gamers? Talk about sparing no expense. Zakai should probably just be grateful that he was given this opportunity and enjoy a limousine ride by himself rather than with a group of people he might have nothing in common with. But then, if they're into Digimon maybe they aren't so bad?

Or they're all genius child gamers . . .

Still, that wouldn't be the worst situation.

Ken Kuroda had called him different, which, was nothing new or surprising. But in the message, it wasn't just Digimon that he mentioned. He brought up Zakai's interest in parkour, which is in no way connected to his time spent playing Digimon, and other things that Zakai just wasn't expecting. At first he thought it was cool to be selected to visit D-Connect for something as simple as playing Digimon alone, but then he became suspicious as to why someone with knowledge in his personal life was inviting him to "take it to the next level".

Zakai loved to do some pretty crazy things, but what was so crazy about playing Digimon? At least, that someone else would spend all this time and money into it? It made him think this might be some sort of reality TV show or promotional event for the sake of sales. In the end, his love for Digimon and the fact that someone seemingly knew so much about him from his Digimon experience tempted him to bite and take the chance however. Now those paranoid thoughts were creeping back into his mind, but he was already here in front of D-Connect and there was no turning back now. And he didn't see any cameras so far . . .

As the limousine came to a stop behind another limousine already parked, Zakai opened the door and stepped out slowly. Once on his feet he looked to his left at the other arriving gamer. Not a child after all, though still very young. Hearing the rest of the limousines arriving, Zakai turned his gaze to the right and watched as doors began to open. Before examining the the new arrivals however, his eyes shifted and eventually rested on the man himself, the one who called them all here: Ken Kuroda. He looked nice enough with his floral "forever vacationing" shirt.

History, he says.
Name: Bot Master, “Bot"

Age: Somewhere between 18 and 25

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Affiliation: Casteless

Bot has a home outside the city, not too far away. There is where he completes especially big projects that require long periods of time and isolation. For smaller jobs, he often takes residence inside the city via a work permit. Still, he is treated poorly by many citizens of the city and only receives work by his reputation and citizens lack of concern for those that work with robotics. Who else would waste so much time?

Appearance:


Personality: Bot is a quirky fellow. He goes by the name Bot and so do all of his companions. So when calling his name you are often greeted with the eyes of many. To make matters even more confusing, Bot often refers to himself in third person, leaving others to wonder if he is referring to himself or the miniature robots around him. This is partially because of his time spent in isolation and also due to his Mineral Weapon. Because no one really knew Bot before he was known for his work, people don’t know if he always treated himself near robot like or if it was his Mineral Weapon that changed him. In truth, the Mineral Weapon likely amplified Bot's strange traits.

Though he isn’t ignorant of the world around him, Bot does often treat people and situations like robots that need to be fixed. This is especially apparent when he deals with situations he has little to no experience in: such as taking care of children. To people that look down on him, they spend so little time with him and only require his product; so they aren’t too bothered. To those that would get to know Bot, they would see he means no harm and is actually pretty cautious with everything and everyone around him. He is more often than not like a curious child investigating whatever is before him with a procedural and experimental like approach.

Occupation: Droid Worker

Equipment:

“Bot”: Not so much of a weapon, at least not anymore, this mineral weapon was actually constructed with the remains of whatever it was before. Included was an extremely advanced CPU, and being familiar with CPU operating systems, Bot was able to piece together a body and repair the CPU. What was created now was a tiny AI robot companion with knowledge of software and CPUs that rivals Bot’s own. His primary and seemingly only function however, is to use whatever materials are available to build an exact replica of himself; over and over and over and over and over again. Bot (robot bot), using Bot’s (human Bot) original design, Bot can create an army of Bots that will aid them in whatever task they command. The Bots even have special abilities of their own, unique to each series of Bot. Some will explode, others will sprout helicopter blades from their heads, some will shoot laser beams from their eyes, and others will massage your hands and feet. The process is random and is not influenced at all by Bot’s (human or robot) desire or needs.

Robot Bot seems to have accepted Human Bot as leader, brother, and fellow robot companion. He follows him everywhere and seems to even influence Bot’s behavior and desires. Robot Bot, will for example, encourage Bot to play games with him. Robot Bot and all the Bot Companions refer to Bot by his full name, Bot Master, which is likely why he is known professionally as Bot Master in the first place.

“Portal Key”: The Portal Key is a strange handheld device that almost looks like an alien gun except it has no barrel. It is not directly a weapon in fact. The Portal Key, when activated opens a portal to another destination. The Portal Key can be (roughly) aimed within several meters distance. The destinations are usually on the planet, but can also lead underwater somewhere in the ocean or out into deep space. Bot cannot directly control the Portal Key but rather wish for a destination and hope for the best outcome. His mood and status seem to affect the portal destinations, though not always in his favor. The portals do come in handy however, as when entered with the Portal Key, Bot can enter the portal and instead of traveling to a far away destination, return through another portal to the same location only another spot (as if teleporting). Due to the randomness and slightly inaccurate aiming of the Portal Key, this isn’t always a good strategy. By using his Bot Companions Bot can safely test portals before entering, fortunately. Also, as his Bot Companions are in a sense “extended Mineral Weapons”, they can safely traverse the portals themselves without the Portal Key.

Unlimited Random Resources: Using his Mineral Weapons together, Bot can send his Bot Companions into portals made by his Portal Key and have them return with resources and freshly made Bot Companions. It may take time however, if the Portal Key is being uncooperative. To help his influence on the Portal Key, Bot must remain in “its good wishes” as he calls it. This requires constant feeding to the portal (according to Bot). Its diet consists of all kinds of materials; nothing ever living besides plants (so far). It can range from sand, wood, to even oxygen on its own . . . Using (Robot) Bot and Portal Key, Bot has unlimited access to (mostly random) materials from all over the planet (and possibly the Universe). It seems like the Portal Key might even store materials it absorbs somewhere, as Robot Bot can create large amounts of Bot Companions in ideal circumstances.

Abilities:

“Bot is a doctor!” (Occupation): Bot, though not the best with fixing the more complex physical problems with machines and weapons, is on the other hand an expert with computer programming and droid repair. Given the circumstances of the world now, his talents have few opportunities for use.

Extreme Obsession(Occupation): Bot may not be the easiest to communicate with or give you the desired result, but his loyalty and knack for obsessing over droids will allow him to work on a task for long hours over many days. Robot Bot will often come and distract him between this work, however.

Biography: Not much is known about where Bot came from before he started serving as a droid worker. People can only come up with wild stories on how he turned out to be the cooky droid expert he is today. Some think he is autistic and that is the underlying cause of his odd behavior and ways of communicating. Others think that isolation alone, from traveling the wastelands and working in an abandoned factory, have driven Bot to the state he is in now. And of course, his Mineral Weapon Bot seems to constantly demand attention from him and might have insanity as a side effect of its shared power.

In any case, Bot gets the job done when it comes to fixing droids. His natural talent makes him receive regular clientele, and when repair work is slow he often accepts other odd end jobs from residents, bounty hunters, and all kinds of individuals for other kinds of work. His Mineral Weapon, Bot, grants him a large amount of helping hands to help with very menial tasks, such as loading and unloading cargo. They can even assist with tasks that would normally be too dangerous for humans to do, ranging from investigating unknown areas and touching hazardous materials. Due to their simple and randomized nature, the more complex the job is the longer it will take.

All in all, Bot has a decent living for himself. He has a giant abandoned factory of a home out in the wastelands when not staying in a one room studio, fairly tasty food to eat, and tons of robotic companions.

How's that?

Then... don't play? It's not like I forced you to join, if you aren't really interested then there's nothing to be done about it. Don't worry, you're not breaking my heart or anything.

@Acid Hippie@tobiax

That honestly sounds like a logistical nightmare. Think I'll keep my game self-contained, if you don't mind.


Yeah man no problem! It wasn't even a suggestion for this roleplay. I want to keep things simple while I warm up haha. It was just an idea that crossed my mind when I saw more people interested than was needed. An idea I may take up later, but not now.
Sounds interesting and similar to a novel idea I have. Let me know if you need or could use anymore characters (:
@Letter BeeI'm not as into Pokemon as I am Digimon, nor am I familiar with Shin Megami Tensei yet, but I'll take a look when it comes around!
@Acid Hippie Oh that sounds lovely. I'd be down for that, but I'd have a hard time resisting playing in both. Haha.


Well, I suppose the GM and co-GMs would be playing in both!

Or maybe, to give everyone the opportunity to be in both and play against one another, everyone can play minimum 2 characters. I just got the idea because more people than we needed were interested in this one. Now that I know at least someone would be interested though, maybe we can do it some time from now!

I've been in a huge Digimon mood lately, playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth and watching the anime, so I'm interested to play even more Digimon and use different season settings. But I don't want to get carried away after not having roleplayed for awhile so I'll take it slow and get the ball rolling here first (:
<Snipped quote by Crimmy>

Accepted.

So is 7 enough people to go ahead and close application? I'm inclined to think so.


Definitely think so!

Just had a cool thought for possibly another Digimon game in the future. Two simultaneous stories in two seperate roleplays, though they share the same universe. Use a point/chance system to level up the Digimon and at the end of the games the two most powerful Digimon battle for each of their respective sides or even have them all battle (best two out of three or something). I wonder if that wouldn't be too complicated . . .
@DeadlyPhoenixWell that's a good sign!

I've joined a few sites over the years but none have really fostered good group games. 1x1 seems to dominate many roleplay games now.
@DeadlyPhoenixThanks!

Looking forward to starting a roleplay. This will be my first roleplay in quite some time and I'm always looking for a solid group roleplay!
