Digimon: Materialization Interest Check

@Forsythe As much as I love Frontier, that's going to be a no. Spirits are going to be treated as inventory items in a vein similar to how they're utilized in Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory. If a Tamer has that item in their inventory, then their Digimon can attain that respective form.

Five years ago, the Hypnos Corporation released their highly anticipated game, Digimon: Emergence. By utilizing augmented reality and real-time GPS tracking, players could use their smartphones to track down Digimon in the real world, and battle against and alongside other players. The game quickly became a worldwide phenomenon, and Hypnos Corporation became one of the most profitable companies in the world in the span of six months. Of course, the game wasn't without its problems, but after being cooped up by global pandemic, people were looking for any excuse to get out of the house. As time went on, the bugs were ironed out, but the game still has little issues here and there.

As with any game, there have been all kinds of stories tied to it. Some are sweet, wholesome stories that were featured on the news, like "I met my husband during a boss raid!". However, other rumors and legends have been swirling around the internet.

"My Digimon said my name!"

"I saw a real Koromon in the park!"

"Guilmon stole my sandwich!?"

Most people dismiss these stories as outright lies, or guerilla marketing for the game. However many people insist that these strange stories that tie back to Digimon are true. One rumor in particular has reached the status of urban legend in the city of Tokyo after it was posted on the anonymous forum Nichannel.

I was playing D:E in the park near his school after the sun went down. My friend told me that he'd found lots of rare Digimon there, and they only came out at night. I waited for so long, but I didn't see a single Digimon on my phone. I was about to head home when I saw a glowing blue flame among the trees. I was mesmerized. Something about it seemed to want to come close to it. I drew closer to the flame, but it began moving away. I started following the fire until it came to a stop at an old shrine. Sitting there were two women in fox masks wearing outfits like shrine maidens'. They were singing in a language I didn't understand.

When their song finished, they turned to look at me. I had no idea who they were, but being near them, I felt a sense of peace. One of them, whose outfit was red, asked me a question: "Art thou a Tamer?" I was confused by what she meant, at first. The second, dressed in black, blew a smoke ring from her pipe, and said, "What my sister means is, do you play Digimon: Emergence?"

I was confused. Why would they want to know if I played a game on my phone? I simply answered, yes, and the two shrine maidens smiled. "We have a gift for you," the woman in black said. "But you must answer this question for us: do you want your Digimon to be stronger, or do you want them to have new abilities?"

"Why not both?" I asked. The two mikos chuckled, and the woman in red wagged her finger at me.

"Thou art too greedy, little boy," she chided. "Come and find us again when thine heart is purer."

There was a bright flash of light, and I covered my eyes. When I opened them again, the two mikos were nowhere in sight, and the air felt charged with electricity. I have no photos or videos to back this story up, but it actually happened. If you see the two maidens, don't make the same mistake I did.

Hypnos has made no comment on any of these stories beyond, "People have such vivid imaginations!" But are all of these accounts just stories fabricated to entertain fellow internet users? Or is there a kernel of truth to them? There's only one way to find out...

Digimon as a Franchise in Materialization

The Digimon franchise started as a line of virtual pets in the mid-90's. Due to the V-pets' popularity, Digimon swiftly gained other forms of media, including trading card games, anime and manga, and several light novel series; curiously enough the powers that be seemed incredibly hesitant to branch out into the video game market. That changed in 2016, with the release of Digimon: Tamers' World, an open world MMORPG. The next successful video game was Digimon: Emergence, released on the heels of worldwide Stultuvirus-19 lockdowns being lifted. As of 2026, Digimon: Emergence has become one of the highest-grossing mobile games of all time.

Digimon: Emergence

Digimon: Emergence comes with many features, including collecting and battling Digimon. When a Digimon is encountered in the wild, its data is scanned. When enough data of a particular Digimon has been collected, the data can be turned into a DigiEgg, which hatches after traveling a certain distance. Extra Digimon collected are kept on Farm Islands, where they live and play, as well as work to produce items for their Tamer.

X-Antibody Digimon

Certain Digimon have forms related to the X-Antibody, and a select few Digimon lines naturally occur with the X-Antibody in their Digicores. Digimon that have a large enough concentration of X-Antibodies in their Digicores can transform into their X-Antibody forms. These forms are more powerful than their base form, but behave in a much more animalistic manner, and are more difficult for a Tamer to control; Digimon that naturally have the X-Antibody seem to be immune to this, and behave more like normal Digimon.

Digivices

Gifts from the Mikos given to a select few Tamers, there are two Digivices available. Both variants are able to induce Digivolution in a Tamer's partner, as well as store and access items from Digimon: Emergence.

• Digivice SP: A Digivice transformed from a smartphone. When Digivolved to another level, a Digimon gains a 20% boost in power.
• Digivice VB: The Digivice VB allows Tamers to make use of Digital Modification (DiM) cards to provide a Digimon with attacks and abilities that it normally wouldn't be able to use. DiM cards can be obtained by defeating different Digimon, from Digimon living in DigiFarms, or by purchasing them from [REDACTED].

Digimon: Materialization Interest Check

Okay, all, I'll get to work on the OoC proper later today since working on long posts like that on a phone is a headache and a half.

Digimon: Materialization Interest Check

@TheNoCoKid
I think the idea is that people play on their phones, and the two who are in the rumor give out the two types of actual digivices?

@The World

The two types of Digivices are granted during an encounter with the mikos. The Digivice SP is, for all intents and purposes, a smartphone that's been transformed into a Digivice. It still has all the functions of your average smartphone, with other programs and hardware "magicked" into it (for lack of a better term). The Digivice VB takes the form of a smart watch. Similar functions to what you'd get from one bought in a store, but provides both Digivice functionality (Digimon status check, Digivolution catalyst, etc.) and the ability to use DiM cards.

Digimon: Materialization Interest Check

@TheNoCoKid@The World That's some fine thinking. :D I like the idea.

@TheNoCoKid
To expand on this, maybe a summon system? You can summon out a digimon from a farm for a single attack, then need it to recharge both the ability to summon and, for a longer period of time, that digimon in particular's ability to be summoned. DiM cards would then let you do this with digimon you don't actually have on an island and with more regularity, less time to recharge the ability itself and somewhat faster recharge for the DiM than for the digimon on the farm. Maybe a special combo attack if you have two compatible digimon on the farm or on the farm and a DiM card? Doubles or triples the summon recharge, but is exceptionally powerful. Maybe another benefit of the VB digivice is the ability to use a combo attack with two digimon on the farm AND a DiM card, for an extreme attack once a day or less, giving tons of variety to manage against the combo attack of a SP that boosts the combo attack's damage anyway.

Though saving the previous stages on the digivice seems counter-intuitive in terms of an actual game based on digimon that's similar to Pokemon GO, since it disincentivizes players to get multiple of the same digimon, thus spending more time and/or money on the game.

@Big McLargehuge
I have another question that I forgot to ask: How much digimon media exists IC, and how does it differ from IRL digimon media? Obviously D:E is different, but do the anime and/or manga exist, or the video games, or the card games?

@The World

Card games, anime and manga, and virtual pets are a thing, but video games have been few and far between.

Digimon: Materialization Interest Check

@Crimson Flame@tobiax@TheNoCoKid@The World I've been doing some figuring, and I may have to simplify the DiM system from what I initially had in mind, as well as make certain rules for what kinds of DiM cards can be used by Digimon; for example, attack cards can only be from--at most--Digimon from one evolutionary stage higher than the Digimon that uses it. An example would be Aegiomon (Champion/Adult level) being able to utilize RizeGreymon's (Ultimate/Perfect level) Trident Revolver attack, but not being able to use Amphimon's (Mega/Ultimate level) Raiburn Break/Thunder Break attack. If any of you would be interested in helping me set this up, I would be very appreciative.
