Realism Pokemon roleplay

Put me down as interested. I dig it.

Digimon: The Rise of the Forsaken RP!

I do not mind at all! The only reason I may not be posting as much as I usually do (daily/every hour/few minutes) is because I'm extremely sick and I barely have the strength to even get on the computer even, and I don't know how long that'll continue on for. So don't feel bad for bumping in my stead~

I look forward to starting this as well! Get lots of rest, Gnar. I hope it's not too early to discuss what the opening will look like. So our characters are kidnapped into the DigiWorld and... ?! Is there something you had in mind for this encounter?

What in the world is the point of laning? Why does which line I run in matter depending on my build? They all seem the exact same.

I guess it just has to do with the way the map is set up. Technically, you could try to bum rush mid as five - it might work against a less coordinated team. But towers in League are strong, so a few people could defend against your siege while your outer towers are left undefended, and that means inhibitors are in danger.

There isn't any clear reason for the current lane meta, but there are a couple justifications for the way it is now:

Putting your marksman/support bot instead of top allows you to contest dragon more easily, which is important early game when trying to snowball a lead.

Mages scale better with levels, while marksmen scale better with gold (damage coming from auto attacks). The support leeches EXP from lane due to minions dying near them, so it's more ideal to put the mage in a solo lane. They can level faster and then roam top or bot for ganks, which is especially good if your mid is an assassin.

@Rare: League is much more fun with friends! There are a lot of details to playing that aren't intuitive, especially if you've never played a MOBA before. It's a way better experience to have others show you the ropes while you play.

League of Legends

I see like two people with LoL avatars. Who here plays? What role? Any content releases you're looking forward to? Do you keep up with the esports scene? I'm looking forward to NA Regionals at PAX - it should be great.

Digimon: The Rise of the Forsaken RP!

Alright, I'm all done! Let me know what you think.

Digimon: The Rise of the Forsaken RP!

Name: Arista Li

Age: 18

Appearance

"Nice to meet you."

Personality: On first meeting, Arista has a warm presence that is friendly and not intrusive. Though her outward actions rarely bear the slightest hint of boldness or impulsiveness, she leaves a lasting impression through the air of almost-regal dignity she carries. Her understated charm comes from a polite, tactful manner of speaking and a genuine interest in learning more about other people. As someone with keen social finesse, Arista does her best to make quick reads of the people around her – she is much more calculating than she appears. Situations in which she has no control put her on edge, much to her dismay.

She spends much of her time hanging out with her wide circle of friends, yet she still holds them at arm’s length. Arista enjoys her relationships for what they are, yet with the seeming expectation that they may end one day. Before, she used to be much more optimistic. Now she has a hard time believing that people can always be naturally good and altruistic. These days, Arista's heart is a bit heaver with the idea that most people mean well, but will act selfishly when it comes down to the wire. For this reason, she doesn't consider it wise to trust someone completely or truly open up to them; she feels it only puts her in a vulnerable position.

Partnered to: RubyBearmon

Backstory: Arista had a fairly privileged upbringing in a well-connected political family. Her father was a diplomat, so she spent her childhood traveling and entertaining important guests at wherever the family made their home. From a young age, she learned how to talk to adults and be taken seriously. Despite moving around to new places a lot, Arista found it easy to blend in with kids her age.

She spent her high school years in Japan at an international school. By then, her mother had a career as a researcher in neural engineering and spent half the time at her lab and the other half abroad at a global biotech institute. Left to her own devices, Arista became rather independent and buckled down in her studies. She'd been awarded a scholarship to go to university in the United States, and her plan was to move there immediately after graduating.

Other: Also goes by Mei Xue and Miyuki. She speaks English fluently; Mandarin and Japanese, less so.

Name/Species: RubyBearmon - simply known as "Bearmon" to friends.

Appearance: In Rookie form, Bearmon wears his signature red scarf around his head as a bandana.

Evolution Line + Abilities

Ursamon

Champion

Heavy Paw: Ursamon stands up on its back legs to knock down its target beneath the weight of its forepaws, disrupting the target's balance. More effective on heavier foes.

X Claw: A lightning attack that strikes twice at the target's vulnerable spots.

Pandamon

Ultimate

Bamboo Slice: Extends its retractable claws to slice at a target. Its claws are sharp enough to cut rocks easily.

MachPandamon

Mega

Meteor Lance: Its right arm transforms into a lance that can pierce a target by converting the entirety of MachPandamon's strength into crushing weight.

Sunset Blaze: MachPandamon turns into an unstoppable cyclone that can ignite the air itself and set the atmosphere aflame.

Personality: Bearmon is somewhat naive, as he can't really see why anyone would need to have a hidden agenda. Having nothing to hide himself, he acts directly and speaks frankly. He is no stranger to foolhardiness, as he finds it sensible to act first and think later. In fights, he won't stop until he's given it his all. Strength is a quality Bearmon respects highly – he will disregard people he deems "all talk and no action." According to him, strong Digimon are meant to use their power to defend the weak. He understands that Digimon need each other to survive.

Backstory: For as long as he can remember, Bearmon has lived in a village in a forgotten corner of the Digital World. He and the other Digimon were fairly comfortable in their green paradise, barely aware of anything that was going on outside of their valley. Bearmon spent his days sparring with his friends, and eventually his position as the best fighter turned into a position as the village's official protector. But he hardly did anything, as there were never any true dangers. In fact, things started getting a little too boring for him. Bearmon's desire for excitement was causing a rift in his community, as others just wanted to lead quiet lives. Although he felt guilty about leaving, he decided that the village would be in good hands. It was time for him to go out and see the rest of the world.

Digimon: The Rise of the Forsaken RP!

Sweet! Gnar, I want to run this line by you to make sure it's acceptable (and not too canon-bending). It's a fan one based on Pandamon:


I was thinking of Punimon and re-colored Tsunomon for Fresh and In-Training.

Except Pandamon is used for Champion stage here when he's actually Ultimate level... I think I'll switch those sprites around.

I look forward to seeing more of other people's characters~

Digimon: The Rise of the Forsaken RP!

It looks like this roleplay is filling up, but if you have room for one more I'd be interested! I can definitely get behind a darker plotline.
