Name: Riku Azuma
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Of average height and build for his age, Riku is rarely seen without a pair of headphones.
Digivolution Line + Attacks: Iguneetmon (Galapagos Field, Timoniniser, Granadaro, Final Traveler); Greymon (Ash) (Atomic Tail, Horn Charge, Ash Fang); JESmon (Tekken Seibai, Schwertgeist, OS Generics, Un Pour Tous)
Backstory: Always a little different from his peers, Riku has always been curious about myths and legends, spirits and monsters, and generally anything that might be seen as outside the norm, such as conspiracy theories. Because of his shy, awkward nature, he often had few friends. However with the rise of the digital age he was able to find friends online with similar interests. Through his time online, Riku came to learn more and more about bizarre happenings. Sightings of ferocious monsters, reports spirits with unfinished business. But in the background of all of them was the fact that these supernatural beings and Unidentified Mysterious Animals involved these entities just disappearing, as if fading from existence. Since then, Riku has been trying to connect the dots between sightings.
Miscellaneous:
- Obsessed with dinosaurs as a child, and still likes them enough to the point that he'll visit his uncle Kenryu Uchida in the Fukui Prefecture and help him out at digs in the Kitadani Formation in the summer
- Can read and understand English thanks to years online
- Loves animals of all kinds... except bugs; he's outright terrified of spiders
- His taste in music is... unique, to say the least; after all, when was the last time you heard someone listening to a metal song about dwarves digging holes?
Nickname: Bruce
Species: Sunarizamon
Spirit Manifestation: Iguneetmon
Gender: Male
Appearance: Since becoming partners with Riku a red stripe has appeared on his head. Other than that, he resembles a normal Sunarizamon.
Backstory: Before Bruce arrived in Japan, he would travel to and from Australia from the Digital World, where he picked up the local slang from farmers and outdoorsmen. He made friends with two other Digimon, Kangarumon and Sepikmon, and the three were occasionally seen by humans; in one particular incident, a rather hungry Bruce (in his Champion form) attacked and ate several cows. As time went on, he and his friends became rivals to another group of Digimon: Hanumon, Porcupamon, and Ebidramon. In one battle, Porcupamon's allies lost to Kangarumon and Sepikmon, and in a fit of rage, Porcupamon Digivolved into a new form: Lamortmon. Lamortmon quickly defeated Kangarumon and Sepikmon before turning on Greymon and defeating him. The two returned to their Rookie forms, and so began a long and irritating relationship between Bruce and Phascomon. In the last few years, Bruce has made his way from the Digital World to Japan.
