Current I am still on RPG, so do feel free to message me. Just don't have the time or energy to actually join any RP's right now. Focusing on a LOT of other projects, including getting into Audio Drama.

ATLAS Headquarters - Board of Directors Meeting


A dark room. A large table, at the head of it Siggy sat with NeonGuilmon stood next to him. "Gentlemen!" He called. Sat around him were Directors Lucas and Zei, with Jordan, Dirk, Leon and Ari monitor screens. "It ha-"

"You know, that 2 of us are ladies... Try to be a little more sensitive, Siggy." Ari butted in. Siggy stared at her with a face of purest ire for a few seconds.

"It has been brought to our attention that things are picking up again." He pressed a button and a hologram appeared in the middle of the table. "After the dip in Digi-Emergance events after the A.D.C.U. went down, things are now going back up again. We were hoping it was a spike, but it's rising to almost as high as it was 11 years ago."

"Can't say as i have noticed." Ari replied, picking her ear.

"I have-" Leon stated. Pressing a button, the hologram changed to a globe and highlighted dots across the world "Frankfurt exploded with activity these last 3 months. It's gotten so bad that i'm almost having to start insisting that potential members take the memory wipe. Either that, or there's gonna be a mass-exodus from Frankfurt as i start transfering people away to keep our notoriety down." He sighed.

"Send some of them my way. Africa is as quiet as ever." Dirk said.

"Why do you think we sent you there?" Lucas mumbled. "Me and Elecmon are handling it. Luckily, most of the things coming through are Champion-level. Me and the teams here in Tokyo are handling it easy. At the same time, we should probably see if we can get in touch with the Sovereigns and see if they can help curb this migration from their end."

"You can easily get that information." Zei replied.

"Yeah, but that means talking to that self righteous douchebag Herald." Elecmon butted in.

"You are the head of Security, this is literally your job." Dorumon grunted.

"Yeah, but there's doing our job and just social flagelation and we did not sign up for that." Lucas replied.

"With Lucas on this one." Dirk replied. "Herald rubs me wrong."

"For the first time in the entire time i have lived i'm going to say the words "Thanks Dirk" don't get used to it." Lucas replied. "But in all seriousness, if you're having over-staffing issues, then do feel free to send some of them my way, i'd be glad of the extra help."

"Same" Dirk replied "Africa's not got as much land-mass as Asia, but Africa's population is much less centralized and infrastructure is much worse, meaning getting places quickly is hard. I need more bodies on the ground over here."

"Can we stop trying to benefit off of the problem and actually look to solve it?" Zei butted in again.

"You're right." Jordan replied. "New Zealand's having much the same problem. Too many emergences, too little places to hide all of these Digimon. I'm willing to put serious money on it being a lead-up to something." At that point Siggy stood up, airing his authority as the head of the Directors.

"We are in agreement... Something is going down. But right now, we have no idea what it is. Any move we make right now might be playing into the hands of whoever is pulling the strings." He then sat down again. "But at the same time, we can't proceed too cautiously as it could accelerate their plans as we decelerate our responses. The safest course of action we have right now is to just keep doing what we are doing and wait for more information to present itself. Leon, Jordan, if you are having over-manning issues, choose some of your agents with minimal ties to the area and get them transferred over to Africa. Anyone else need more bodies?" Everyone looked at their notes, but nobody answered verbally. "Right, next on the-" At that point, lights started to flash around them. "Oh no..." Siggy sighed sarcastically "Looks like this meeting is over. It's a hard job, but somebody's gotta do it." He smiled, before pressing a button, ending the meeting and grabbing Lucas and dragging him through the doors behind him to the control room, looking up to see the Cartography being worked by a pair of agents.

"Directors, we have a massive spike of Digital Emergences across Tokyo. Power Level C, but multiple focal points."

"Dammit." Lucas growled, running over to a console and pressing the Mobilize signal to all of the agents in Tokyo. Siggy grabbed a headset.

"Tokyo units, this is Director Siggy, we have a whole mass of bogeys emerging in the city, pick your closet targets and engage at your discretion. Champion level authorization given."

Japan - Tokyo


As ATLAS began to scramble to contain the problems popping up everywhere, packets of mist began engulfing different parts of the city. Most of the inhabitants going about their daily business without even thinking about what might be lurking out there. Everywhere in the mist, the Tokyo citizens were seeing things moving out the corner of their eyes, but just assuming it was a trick of the light. Meanwhile, large digimon began to explore their surroundings.

In Akihabara, the roar of a Kuwagamon could barely be heard over the din of arcade-machines

In Shinjuku, parked cars were being swatted out of the way by Monochromon crashing through the streets

In Nerima, people would be forgiven for assuming that a jumbo-jet was flying too low overhead as the shadows of a Airdramon lanced through the misty skies.

In Roppongi, the drunkards still getting over last nights partying put their sights down to the lack of sleep as an Ogremon was having to fend off a horde of Goblimon from trying to eat it.

Everywhere, digivices were lighting up and Siggys authorization was playing through to them. ATLAS Agents were on the way to help everyone.
@Hammerman Oh, yes, of course. Why do you think i was asking about your opening post?
@Double As i said in the Interest Check, this is a sequel to a previous RP with people who have mostly left the site. The directors are all the party members of that old RP. We never ran into Apollomon then... Craniamon and the other Royal Knights on the otherhand...

Also, people, if you have been accepted, please post your CS in the Characters section. With enough players, i will make an intro as soon as i can.
@Martian "I love books and poetry" *Partners with a literal tank* Love it. Accepted.

@Crimson Flame "Seems fairly well adjusted at first, but is a hot fucking wreck inside" Are you sure this isn't a lost Tamers character? Accepted.

@Renny Yet another steaming mess of problems for the crew. But considering his Mega form, that's going to raise a LOT of alarms when he finally does go Mega for the first time. Approved.

@BladeSS4 Only problem with this is that, ATLAS' memory-wipe program would have also included them fixing any and all damage his digimon did so that he didn't ask questions post-wipe. The other thing is that Craniamon is another one that will be on the list of digimon that will make the entire Board of Directors show Visible Concern. But i am not against it. Approved
Sorry for lack of activity on my end, lots of IRL drama, I will get to reviewing character sheets ASAP.
@Duthguy A simple guy with a love of his little Kendo-weilding partner. Approved.
Sorry about not saying anything the last few days, been rather busy.

@Hammerman So, is your first post going to be her meeting her partner? That's perfectly good, i just want to make sure of where everyone is at the start of the RP.

@Renny I appreciate the idea behind Aegiomon being his partner, but at the same time, one of the things i was going to add to the original post that, being that you are working for an organization, one of the things that will be limiting your characters are permissions. Essentially, each mission will limit you to specific levels of Digivolution, this does mean that you can have access to Ultimate or Mega from the start, but without permission from the higher-ups, digivolving will be penalized. Naturally, you are a secret service and he directors appreciate that maybe dropping a 30ft firebreathing T-Rex in the middle of the situation might not be the most subtle approach. That being said, if he wants to maintain Champion when around the base, that's fine. Just note that unless he gets permission, then out in the field, he will be limited to Elecmon.

Sorry if this screws with your plans, but it's the best way i can think of to allow the Veteran characters and Recruit characters serve on the same team with the same power balancing.

The only other problem i see is the "Obsidian Digizoid Katana" Which i appreciate the sentiment and the rule of cool, but, without spoiling anything, the existance of an ATLAS agent with a Digizoid sword is a direct contradiction to one of the main plots I had in mind for this. Sorry if this seems to have shat all over your character proposition. The core of your character is solid, but there's a few little things that need addressing.

@Duthguy Looking good so far.

@Double Love the character. It'll be nice to have the guy sat at the back wearing the distinctive badge

OOC is up Feel free to ask questions there. Also, do people want me to make a Discord page for this?
Digimon used to be creatures of urban myth and legend, those shadows you see in the corner of your computer screen, when your computer monitor starts going fuzzy, that was supposed to be them, the little monsters in the Internet, I mean... If I walked up to you and said "Hey, there're tiny little monsters living in your computer." you'd say I was nuts. Well, 11 years ago, the Internet went nuts with rumours that were quickly squashed by the Japanese government. Rumours that those creatures were real and that Godzilla could come crawling out of your computer at any moment without warning. It was around this time that pictures surfaced of mysterious vans with "A.D.C.U." Popped up everywhere. No liscence plates, no other markings, most of them were deleted shortly afterwards and any mention of them was quickly scrubbed from blogs and social media and everywhere other than the deepest depths of the web.

Shortly after Youtube calmed down with the natural reaction of a "A.D.C.U. paranoid conspiracy phase" new video's, the big news was an EMP going off in the middle of Tokyo, the Highton View Terrace area went dark for almost 10 hours as, supposedly, planes fell out of the sky and crashed. The area was coordoned off and it became the new big paranoid conspiracy. However, the A.D.C.U. meme was reignited when what was clearly a fake movie trailer or something along those lines hit the various social media and video sharing sites of a Giant Lion attacking one of those vans. It was condemned as "Poor Taste" as the footage clearly showed this taking place in Highton View Terrace at the same time as the disaster. But as usual, sanity prevailed and "Someone taking advantage of human suffering with a hoax video" seemed far more plausable to the majority than there actually being computer monsters fighting a shady government agency. Of course, the internet didn't give up that easily, but the tin foil hat society is one that endures so long as some information remains classified.

So, this is all quite interesting but the big question is "Where do i come into all of this?" Well, the answer is quite simple. You may have been out and about when your phone started acting up, you might have been sat at home watching anime when the TV started to freak, you may have been at alone at the arcade when suddenly every machine turned off but one... In any case, you have just found yourself face to face with something friendly, sarcastic, cute, iconic or some combination of those.

In any case, you have just found yourself with a friend that you will find yourself following and leading it to hell and back. Shortly afterwards, you find yourself being approached by someone dressed as what could best be described as Thunderbirds Reject who will question you about you about your new partner. Try to run or fight and you'll find that they also have an Ally of the same kind and he is FAR more experienced than you. In any case, you are going back to HQ with them where you will find out about ATLAS. An orginization secretly sanctioned by United Nations that operate at the highest levels of discretion. You are then given a choice:

1) Memory wipe. You wake up in your bed, believing whatever you want to believe and you will never see, hear from, or have any kind of contact with ATLAS or these weird little monsters ever again.
2) You sign a non-disclosure form, you are given the tour and congratulations, you are now a member of ATLAS, your mission, to find others that have bonded with Digimon and bring them in or wipe their memories. You can still live your normal life, but you must let NOBODY know about your new friend or ATLAS and whenever your new device goes off, you drop whatever you are doing and report for duty.

So, what's your choice?
