Fish of Oblivion

Digimon - The Parallel Visage

Added a handful of character themes, and they're in! I'll come back to this when I get to work on my other lads and I'll probably add at least one theme when/if someone gets turned into a Digimon :p

Digimon - The Parallel Visage

Tamer: Dante

Name: Dante Jones-Yasuragi

Appearance:

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Personality:

“I’m only stuttering because it’s cold, thank you very much.”

Dante comes off as a bit spineless. He's quiet, non-confrontational and generally against taking risks; in group situations, he tends to be the person who gets pushed to the back first, which may be why seems to dislike or have difficulty working with other people.

However, attributing this to meekness or cowardice would be a mistake. Though certainly quiet and non-confrontational, Dante is more than capable of standing his emotional ground; owing to a deeply ingrained sense of responsibility and caution, he can be ridiculously unbending and stubborn when put to the test. This side of him is both a strength and a weakness; whilst he's certainly resolute when he chooses a course of action, and patient in the pursuit of a goal, it doesn't help his already-shaky ability in group situations, and usually doesn't do too much to endear him to others. There's also the fact that he's not quite as strong as he'd present himself sometimes, though where that'll leave him remains to be seen.

Despite being quiet and appearing rather cold, it should be noted that Dante isn't actually unfriendly even with his internally stubborn nature. In fact, he can be quite pleasant and level-headed even in tough situations so long as he isn't directly having his buttons pushed. He can be quite the smartass, however; though he's rarely actually malicious about it, he's more than happy to grumble at someone or make an absurd aside if he feels the situation warrants it."

Brief Bio: It'd be remiss to say that Dante's life has been full of tragedy, though it certainly hasn't been an easy one.

He and his twin sister were born to young parents; a young English man and a Japanese international student, only a couple years after their graduation. Despite a decent financial situation and plenty of support from their families, things weren't easy for them; Dante's parents genuinely loved each-other and their children and did all they could to provide, but they themselves had issues to work out that often forced them into a difficult balancing act. As of this, whilst they had the care and resources they needed, he and his sister had to learn to take responsibility for themselves at a fairly young age; helping out with cooking on nights where the family was worn down or short-handed, running extra errands and chores when the need arose, and doing their absolute best to stay out of trouble so that things didn't get any more difficult for them.

Things picked up significantly two years ago, however. After some needling from Dante's aunt and her partner, his parents started seeing someone about their issues; whilst things were still difficult at times, the improved psychological health and a handful of job changes and promotions lead to a significantly less demanding and stressful home environment, even by the time Dante and his sister entered secondary school.

That lead to its own issues, however. Whilst they had a handful of friends from earlier in their life, the move to a bigger environment in secondary school was a difficult one for them; they didn't quite know how to interact with such a large number of class and schoolmates. This lead to some bullying at first- it was hard enough fitting in without the bonus of being mixed-race in a otherwise mostly homogenous environment-but between a handful of growth spurts and more or less retreating into themselves, they managed to make it a survivable environment; just one no less difficult than before.

Sovereign Digimon: Baihumon

Sovereign: Baihumon

Gender: Male

Digivolution Line: Nyaromon-> Spadamon-> Reppamon-> Mihiramon-> Baihumon

Personality:

"I am many things... and your pet is not one of them."

For an ostensibly Divine being, Baihumon seems rather grounded; despite a potentially lethal temper being the stuff of legend in the Digital World, he's rather dignified and polite in person, to the point he could be described as stoic. Whilst he rates his physical and mental abilities highly as you may expect a Deity would, he's hardly a braggart; he seems confident enough in his powerful body and mind that he doesn't feel the need to assert it, and mindful enough of 'mortal' beings that he avoids taunting them.

In his reduced state, however, his personality has taken a rougher turn. Reverted to a frame of mind similar to that of himself as a younger Digimon, and rankling with pain over everything that has happened, his anger is less controlled and more open. He seems rather bitter and doesn't take too well to conversation unless it's to do with restoring order to the Digital World; he takes even worse to being given orders. It would be wrong to say he's completely unbearable, however; elements of his previous personality remain, and whilst he's definitely rough around the edges, he's still not one to start a fight or argument for the sake of it.

Retainer Digimon: Astamon

Digimon Species: Astamon

Gender: Male

Digivolution Line: Dracmon -> Sangloupmon -> Astamon

Personality:

"I wouldn't say you're as useless as a chocolate teapot. A chocolate teapot would taste better than you, in all likelihood."

Astamon is a wiseass in all senses of the word; he's wise, he's an ass, and most of all a straight-up wiseass. As a Digimon who worked his way up from humble beginnings, he's very proud; though the difficulty of his experiences have tempered that pride, so whilst he can be boastful, it'd be hard to accuse him of any particular vainglory. Whilst he could be more accurately described as an 'old hunting buddy' of Baihumon as opposed to a 'retainer', he was blessed with the appropriate provisions, and does possess an appreciable understanding of the affairs and matters of the Sovereigns: though he prefers to keep at a decent distance from official matters on the understanding that he's not completely cut out for governing.

This doesn't mean he doesn't often land himself in trouble, however. Old habits die hard, and when he's not rubbing people off the wrong way with verbal gaffes, he's outright pissing in their cereal with a wry remark. This is why he keeps at a distance from important duties when he can help it, and may also be why he keeps mainly with his specific company. Whilst 'gifted' with the mouth of a fool, he's developed the wisdom of a hermit, and so tends to hang around with those who know him well enough to forgive his flaws.

Equipment:

• Oro Salmon: An incredibly powerful firearm resembling a Thompson submachine gun.
• Dagger

Attacks:

• Hellfire: Shoots all of "Oro Salmón's" bullets.
• Maverick: Launches a kick by accumulating its own dark qi.

Miscellaneous:

• Theme (Character)- Stardust Man Appears- Yugo Kanno
• Theme (Battle)- from either way- Hiroyuki Sawano

Feral Digimon: NeoDevimon

Digimon Species: NeoDevimon

Gender: Male

Digivolution Line: Patamon -> Angemon -> NeoDevimon

Personality:

"For insisting you're not a dog, you do seem set on dying like one. Walk away, before I put your whole litter down."

NeoDevimon cuts a menacing figure. Besides the sheer oppressive aura of inevitability that fills the air around him, he rarely speaks of his own volition, preferring simply to glare at you from behind his inexpressive metal mask. Between this and a reputation for cold-hearted murder and wanton destruction, it's no wonder he's so feared in the villages and towns of the Digital World.

The reality of things is somewhat more complex, however. A passionately violent and wounded nature lurks beneath the surface like a predator ready to strike from the shadows, but years of wandering the Digital World and its wilderness as a pariah have worn his temper down. Rather than an unstable killer, the disposition he presents to others when provoked to conversation is that of a bored, fatalistic old vagabond with a caustic sense of humour: you'd be hard-pressed to call it reasonable, but this disaffected state of being leaves it possible to communicate with him in a way that isn't violent slaughter.

Equipment: N/A

Attacks:

• Stun Claw: Attacks with electrically charged claws.
• Guilty Claw: An enhanced version of Death Claw, where NeoDevimon's claws run wild with electrical fire.
• Deep Sorrow: Flaps its wings and produces gales of despair.

Miscellaneous:

• Theme (Character)- Kguy&kill don’t 生kiLL (1st Half)- Hiroyuki Sawano
• Theme (Battle)- Kguy&kill don’t 生kiLL (2nd Half)- Hiroyuki Sawano

Feral Digimon: Lunamon

Digimon Species: Lunamon

Gender: Female

Digivolution Line: Lunamon -> Lekismon -> Crescemon

Personality:

“I don’t have time for this, and neither do you.”

For a member of a species known for being timid, Lunamon is noticeably hard-headed. An early life lived in near-isolation has left her as a bizarre mixture of worldliness beyond her years and youthful inexperience, capable tactically but utterly out of her depth in any social capacity: she's quiet, blunt and self-serious, and very slow to trust (least of all in regard to anyone's judgement but her own). Anyone attempting to speak over or speak down to her will more often than not find themselves on the receiving end of something utterly scathing and cutting, regardless of intentions.

This doesn't stem from malice or disdain for others, however. Though Lunamon can certainly be unpleasant, her current behaviour is not just the result of being raw in social experience, but of being raw emotionally: having been forced to leave her home through desperate circumstances, much of her behaviour results from being overwhelmed by her situation. On top of that, whilst her upbringing has hindered her socially, her guardian's tutelage has gifted her with an unusually developed sense of right and wrong: resulting in further emotional friction from comprehension of the consequences of her words and actions.

Equipment:

• Moon Glove: A pair of combat gloves that serve to reinforce her melee capabilities, act as a conduit to fire her ice arrows, and channel her sleep-inducing abilities into an efficient weaponized form.
• Nova Luna: A set of weapons consisting of a pendulum-esque axe with a crescent-shaped blade and a bladed shield in the same shape. They can be combined to transform into a third weapon, a bowgun capable of channeling Crescemon’s innate ice and dark energies.

Attacks:

Lunamon

Tear Shoot: Concentrates power in its forehead antenna, then fires a ball of water at the opponent.
Luna Claw: Scratches with claws filled with the power of darkness.
Lop-ear Ripple: Twirls its ears to create a vortex of bubbles which entraps the opponent.
Tear Bubble: Catches the opponent off-guard with a tearful look, before attacking them with a bubble that induces sleep.

Lekismon

Moon Night Kick: Jumps into the air and attacks with a powerful downward kick.
Tear Arrow: Pulls arrows of ice from the protrusions on its back and throws them at the enemy. Moon Night Bomb: Throws a hypnotic water bubble from its Moon Glove, putting the enemy to sleep.

Crescemon

Lunatic Dance: Bewitches its enemy with a dance before slashing them with its Nova Luna.
Dark Archery: Combines its Nova Luna into a crossbow and fires arrows of dark energy.
Ice Archery: Combines its Nova Luna into a crossbow and fires ice arrows at the enemy.

Miscellaneous:

• Theme (Character): tanh1- Hiroyuki Sawano
• Theme (Battle): Nunquam Vincar- Yuki Kajiura
• Theme (Bonus): Moonchild- King Crimson

I'll probably add a couple things here and there and fill some Misc. stuff in before this goes up in the other tab. Might also get a transparent version of Dante's pic if it doesn't end up looking like he has a hole in his head

Digimon - The Parallel Visage

I'm kind of on the fence- that said, I've got a couple suggestions regarding the idea, so I'll go for 'Yes' so it doesn't get thrown out altogether?

Digimon - The Parallel Visage

Just checkin' in here real quick whilst I subscribe; gonna refresh myself on plans and ideas and then see about putting my sheet together!

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

Against my credit, I've had 66% of a post drafted for ages now. I'll get back to it once I've done a little more uni work/caught up for some other obligations?

And not gonna drop another hard deadline on Vin just yet; I'll sort that out later, and give him the benefit of the doubt until then. Feel free to chase him up on my behalf, but don't go losing time or sleep over it.

Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP) (Reboot)

@ONL Yo, sorry this took so long; I don't have that much of an excuse, just halfway through the semester and starting to pull my shit together. I'll see about shifting into high gear on future posts soon!

Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP) (Reboot)

Frederick Hughes

Mental State: Uneasy, but focus and resolve returning
Physical State: Wide awake and mostly healthy

“It’s quite alright, no need to beat yourself up over it!” Frederick couldn’t help but feel a little guilty himself as he saw the man retreat inwards a bit after his response. He still felt he’d made the right choice in turning down the request, but he supposed it wasn’t a situation that most people knew how to react to; for whatever reasons he’d ended up coming to Arkham, he was still more mentally equipped to deal with the grim events at hand than most citizens would be.

The guilt didn’t last too long, however; making a quick recovery, the man continued. Whilst he still seemed shaken, it seemed mostly physical; despite his profuse shivering, weak smile and the slow trickle of sweat down his forehead, his voice seemed fairly focused, if still strained. Frederick supposed the man was stronger mentally than he presented himself; and that was admirable in and of itself.

“Frederick Hughes- pleasure to make your acquaintance, Mr Velera.” With that, Frederick took the hand that was offered to him; whilst he supposed that Jeremy wasn’t quite as skittish as he seemed, he also supposed that now would be an appropriate time to stop mentally dissecting him. Making a move to more pedestrian matters would help both of them, anyway. “As I’m said, I’m perfectly happy to accompany you to the other side of the campus- can’t promise I won’t get lost on the way myself, though!”

Well, maybe there was something to be said for keeping the analytical side of his mind active. Some well-timed humour could help put them both at ease.

Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP) (Reboot)

Ok, sorry again for being slow; been busy recently, I'll see about getting back to work on things soon so we can kick things into gear.

Also, Happy Halloween, you spooky sumbitches!
