At first, all I knew was a rising sense of unease. I did not fear the dark, but the nothingness was like no other terror - perhaps because, right now, I had nothing to compare it to. I needed something to hold onto, some concept to keep me grounded, and just before the unsettled feeling in my gut threatened to tip me into total panic...

I could feel my shield weighing on my arm - comforting, solid, heavy. This was one thing I knew well. This was one thing to cling to.

Silence reigned. I began to fear that my shield might not be enough - and then a voice, distant like it might be uttered through a veil, gave me something else.

Ah, purpose is a wonderful thing.

When I zeroed in on the call, I could feel more than hear where it was coming from, and my path lit up like a beacon. The way was clear. What else mattered but to follow?

And so I moved on.

...Slips this in here

I know I was late to the thread and I'm willing to give up my position if someone else who posted before me really wants in. It's only fair! But given that, here's my application, because I recently picked up Hacker's Memory again. I'll send the rest of the Digimon line in a DM, if that's okay? All of them are canon Digimon.

Name Beau ("Sunny") Sunford
Age 17
Appearance


Personality
On the surface, Sunny is chipper, upbeat, and constantly joking. Their cheerful attitude has made them very approachable, but they find it difficult to connect deeply with others - in no small part due to their hard-stuck habit of joking about even the most serious of incidents. Students like to bait Sunny into acting the class clown, because it can be pretty entertaining, and also because it's Sunny who gets in trouble when the joking around goes too far.

Deep down, they'd love to make some solid friends, but they're not used to people sticking around - not that they'd say this outright, because that would be depressing, and Beau Sunford is a beacon of positivity, all of the time!

History: The Sunford family seized the chance to move from Ireland to Japan a long time ago for Beau's mother's job in a marketing firm. Beau was about six at the time, and they learned fast enough to wisecrack, but not quite fast enough to do very well in school. Their dad works in engineering, and always encouraged Beau to be inventive, but unfortunately this tended to mostly encourage Beau to "inventively" goof around.

After moving to Japan, everything went surprisingly smoothly for Beau's parents. For Beau themself, not so much. They missed their friends, and being a little too young to understand why they couldn't stay where their friends were, Beau wasn't happy.

Until their imaginary friend arrived.

Beau remembers playing with the Kitty Orb. They don't remember where it came from - just that one night they were crying alone, using the light coming in from the kitchen to read a book. There was some tapping on the window, and when they opened it, Kitty Orb was precariously balanced on the sill.

"Are you alone, too?"

They read quietly together for a little while - Beau did most of the talking - and then the Kitty Orb got a little bigger and started raiding the fridge. Kitty Orb was hard to keep up with, especially when it turned into a Bigger Kitty (Impmon) and started trying to explore the fire escape. Beau knew they weren't supposed to leave the apartment alone, but the prospect of an adventure with a new friend was too exciting, and before they knew it, they were lost.

Beau remembers a light down an alleyway, and then something big and angry hit the Bigger Kitty like a train.

Bigger Kitty wanted to fight the dinosaur. Beau wanted to run. The resulting struggle lasted just long enough for the dinosaur to make a lunge, Bigger Kitty to break loose of Beau's grip, and for a bright light to blind Beau for a moment.

When they opened their eyes, Impmon was gone, and so was the Tyrannomon - not that Beau knew their names, or even what had really happened. They were lost in an unfamiliar city, alone again, and upset.

The police returned a tired, frightened Beau to their parents early that morning. With their child's penchant for mischief and inability to articulate the events properly, they chalked the whole thing up to Beau's runaway imagination - assuming that the Yokai Incident had something to do with it (perhaps the disturbance was what got Beau out of bed that night?), but never quite realising how deeply Beau was caught up in it.

Kitty Orb became an imaginary friend, then a half-forgotten series of doodles in Beau's notebooks. Beau knows deep down that the events really happened that night, but so far they've learned better than to talk about it. With no name any better than "Kitty Orb", it's a little hard to keep a straight face about it even to others who experienced the Yokai Incident firsthand.


Name: Impmon (sometimes, to his dismay, nicknamed all sorts of things)
Level: Rookie
Appearance

Personality: Impmon is extremely serious, kind of moody, a little bit broody, and absolutely dedicated to becoming very strong and very powerful and saving the day. This is not a good match for Sunny, who would much prefer that nobody fought at all. Impmon does not have a very high opinion of his partner, but despite his misgivings, he's determined to make this work- and he knows Sunny means well. He's the type to believe the only way to fix something is to do it himself, and finds it hard to put his faith in anyone else to do the job. Just as well Sunny is there to "put him on the bench"... maybe a little too often.

Despite desperately wanting to come across as stoic and unshakeable, he does have a deeply-hidden sense of humour - and a terribly short fuse, which Sunny thinks is hilarious and endearing.
