I'm going to be watching this, at least. Also I agree that Light's crest was too much of a McGuffin and was weird in that it was 'iam teh everything'. It could have been much more poignant if it were called, like, persistence or something.
I am very interested but among other things, I don't want to over-commit. That being said, may not be too much of a problem? In that case, I'd like Friendship if no-one wants it first. Or Kindness if Sunbather picks something else.
I'm curious as to how dark this may or may not be @Altered Tundra.
Whether it's to simply observe or not, I welcome it regardless, though the Crest of friendship is free for grabs. =)
God, I haven't done a Digimon rp in a long ass time. I'll join as well! I'd take the Crest of sincerity~
Their partner Digimon will be Fanbeemon > Waspmon > CannonBeemon > TigerVespamon
If anybody wants to talk ideas I would love to hear them out!
Your crest and digimon line has been reserved.
I'm favoring Option Two. Because it will kind of combine the tomboy Sora and having a bird digimon. But it's color scheme and personality will more than likely be similar/closer to Electromon. So that's at least a couple similarities. If that line is fine, and isn't restricted due to its absence in the original series, I'll probably choose that one.
I adore Elecmon. As you might recall, I used him for Dante's partner in the previous digimon RP we were in.
In either case, your crest has been reserved. When you decide on a digimon partner, let me know so that I can update accordingly. =)
@Fabricant451 People are free to choose whichever digimon partner they wish to, but the aspects of DNA Digivolution and the Digi-Eggs of [enter crest name here] won't be included in this RP - at least, not at the beginning. Those options may be explored later on. For now, I want to maintain as much connection to Adventure 01 as humanly possibly. As for what lines people want to go for, any they find fitting for their character and crest chosen is all good by me. I certainly don't want to limit the creative process of any potentially interested party.
@SleepingSilence No not at all! That one hasn't been claimed yet, so I shall placehold it for you.
@Sunbather For me personally, the way the Crest of Light was used made it seem like a very plot-centric crest and it heavily favored Kari above most. Hope was close, but less than the Crest of Light imo. Plus, I don't really think it should've ever counted as an actual crest when you compare it to the likes of Love and Knowledge - but that's my own beef with it.
Anyhowzers, here's the site I normally use for my digivolution lines. I used to use digimon.wikia but their information is somewhat scattered. I like the layout of wikimon a lot more.
And, I'll leave that up to the players. I'm not about limiting the creativity of those interested, but the spirit of the original season should at least be somewhat presented. Everything else is fair game and up for whatever the player deems as an appropriate interpretation for their charact

From the moment she had gotten home from Santiago's party to when she did nothing to follow up with Lucas about the kiss and stuff they shared that very night to when she got home, she was a nervous wreck. Despite what happened between her and Lucas, Stella wasn’t exactly in the place to do anything about it. She was still so shaken up that she had made the first move, but when it had progressed past the point of her control, she just let it happen. And when it progressed to the point of almost no-return, she panicked.
And for the duration of the weekend, she evaded Lucas at all costs. His calls, text messages - all of them went without a reply. Stella went as far to avoid him when she got to school. She saw him with Nadia and Victoire, but she couldn’t face him, so she avoided him like the plague. Every fiber in her being did everything it could do to avoid him at all costs. When lunch period came, even though she saw her and Victoire and Nadia and her friends, she didn’t make eye contact. Stella was so used to eating alone, so she could do this. But, as she ate her Chinese Chicken Salad alone, she heard a commotion off in the distance. Curious, she followed the masses. By the time she managed to sneak a peak of what everyone else was watching, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
“Is that Marisol? And wait..” Her mouth let out a gasp as her eyes widened, though her face scrunched up somewhat when she heard the sound of a bat strike the metal body of Victoire’s car. “Oh no, someone has to stop this!”
Stella was absolutely horrified. She didn’t know why Marisol was doing this, though that was soon answered as Marisol herself revealed why.
“Victoire and Sonny? Oh god, no that can’t be!”
Stella was in complete disbelief. She wasn’t aware that Sonny liked her new best friend in that way, let alone want to be with her in that way. The last time they talked, Victoire’s name came up and, well, as Stella recalled, Sonny has a lot of things to say about Vic, but none of them were particularly flattering or nice. This was what made her even more confused by Marisol’s claim.
As Stella watched in horror, she was relieved that someone came to stop her from hurting herself. She knew Marisol had a temper, but for her to do something like this was so far beyond anything the Lambert teen thought was possible. Thank god they stopped her. As she let out a sigh of relief, Stella had to get out of there. The last thing she wanted was to be caught in that ‘observer could’ve stopped her’ nonsense.
Effectively removing herself from the crowd, Stella found her way back to the quad. She intended to finish her lunch, but as she did, she saw a flyer of sorts posted on a column. It was for open cheerleader tryouts hosted by Nadia Josette. She was conflicted once more, but Stella knew this could be one of her few chances to get into activities after school that didn’t mean she’d have to think about the mistake she made with Lucas.
So she took it. Stella was going to try out for the cheerleading team. What could possibly go wrong?
@Fabricant451 By "inspired by season 1" I mean that in every sense possible. Kids being warped to the digital world, meeting their partners, and figuring a way out a way to get back home. And the crests. There will be crests. So, no digi-eggs of whatever or DNA Digivolution.
Eight days ago, we all arrived at Camp Red Rock just outside of a small town - or at least it seemed small from how many people seemed to be greeting us when we passed through it - in North Dakota. None of us realized what was happening. We didn’t know each other. Well, some of us knew each other while others had no idea why they were chosen to be at this camp, but it wasn’t as though we had a choice. Our parents signed us up for a three-week summer camp getaway. Some felt it was they could have some time alone while others welcomed it. Honestly, none of us knew exactly why, but when the bus stopped and we all got out, for better or worse, we were going to get to know each other for the next three weeks.
...Only it wasn’t going to be that long before we would have to know each other really well. Only one day into the camp, the weather started acting up. It was mid-June and though the weather shouldn’t have been too crazy because one, we were in the northern part of the states and, even in the summer, the weather here has been roughly average, but for it to start raining and even hailing with winds rising as time went on was certainly strange. And to make it even stranger, when we all stepped out from our cabins, it didn’t feel cold at all and we saw strange specs of light slowly descended from the radiating sky, each landing in our open palms. The touch of these lights was warm and seemed familiar. When the lights faded, they formed into these strange devices. Only a moment later did something terribly wrong.
How could we have known this was going to be the start of the end for us? To venture into the unknown - into a place known as the Digital World where things we never thought was going to be possible existed. Whether together or apart, our survival depended on the creatures who would go on to save our lives.
This is the tale of eight kids who would go on to save both human and digital worlds. This is the story of The Digidestined and their Digimon partners. What role will you play?
Welcome, welcome! I am so pleased that you have tuned in to read this little teaser. This is obviously going to be a Digimon roleplay. And if it also isn’t obvious, let me state that my goal is for this to be a retelling of Digimon Adventure 01 with the focus on a core group of 8 kids of preteen age (11-13 of age). My hope is, instead of the focus being on two characters like it was in the initial series, that we will be giving every single character the focus they need for the proper development through a series of “Character-focused scenes”. This will be achieved by each of the eight having several scenes where they will be the focus with the rest providing a supporting role and vice versa.
Now, let me clear up a few things: I will be open to any and all suggestions and welcome innovative thinkers. Additionally, the gender ratio will be divided evenly. This means 4 male characters and 4 female characters. Ideally, I would be looking for 7 players to make up the cast. It is also my hope that we will bounce each other’s ideas off of each other so we also will each get a chance to play the villainous role as well. As for the crests, I want to keep this experience as authentic as possible. Due to this, we will be sticking to the Digimon Adventure 01 crests: Courage, Friendship, Knowledge, Love, Sincerity, Reliability, Hope, and Kindness(swapping this one out for light because I didn't particularly like the brokenness of the Crest of Light). Of course, any and all characters are eligible for all crests. Locations and other related information, I feel, can be left up to the majority decision.
Rules and Guidelines
Characters, Digimon, and Relations
As you might’ve deduced, our characters have the options of either knowing each other somewhat (we’re roughly from the same area in ND), so communication between characters is possible, or they can be total strangers. In the end, that’s your call, but I will advise that, if you go with one, commit to it fully. As far as Digimon partners go, you have a mostly free-reign when it comes to that, but you will be responsible for writing for your character’s Digimon partner as well. Though I’ve no doubts it’ll be a difficult task, I feel like it I should mention it regardless. One last thing. If there happens to be a character who has goggles, that doesn’t mean he or she is the de facto leader.
Crests
As noted, the crests will strictly follow the series’ first season. They are not an indicator of what the leader is, who will play a bigger part in the roleplay’s overall story, or how big of a role said character will play. It does, however, decide what your character’s strengths and weaknesses are. Please keep that in mind when applying/staking a claim in a crest. Your characters will need obstacles to overcome.
Pacing and Posting Requirements/Expectations
I am not one of those GMs who will demand much of those who think they are interested in this RP. The pace will range from machine-gun posting to barely any activity, but I will not quit on you guys. I only ask that you give me the same courtesy. It’s fine if you have things outside of the Guild that prevents you from posting, but communication is key so we can work around your schedule. Additionally, I ask that you, the players, write at least 2 paragraphs per post. Also, regarding collab posts, while I won’t say no, this is the sort of RP where individual posts are needed. That being said, if you wish to do them to save some time, I won’t say no.
Post Formatting
This will be a straightforward rule. Your posts will have to adhere to just a couple of formatting guidelines: character dialogue will not be bolded. Leave that free in case your character says something that needs emphasis. Quotation marks will be colored. More formatting guidelines will be added to the OOC thread form.
Decent Grasp of the English Language
I don’t expect a grammar nazi’s level of understanding. As long as your posts are readable and we all can understand it, you won’t have any problems from me. None of us are getting paid for this, so don’t stress if every sentence doesn’t contain perfect structure.
Keep OOC Drama out of IC
I cannot stress enough how drama kills roleplays. So, this will be my only rule that I will be strict GM about. If you bring OOC drama into the IC, you will not like me. So, just keep it out of the RP. If you have any problems, then come to me and I’ll see what I can do to make your experience more enjoyable.
Have Fun!
Simply put? Let’s have a grand ole digital time! We aren’t here to be too serious, though we can appreciate some professionalism for this hobby of ours, it is just that: a hobby. Let’s try to have some fun and enjoy ourselves. Leave the drama queen antics at the door and digivolve into Funfunfunmon! :D
