Digimon: Materialization

Mizumoto Park, Katsushika Ward

18:15

Raion groaned internally as he wiped the sweat from his brow. Why did Aikido class HAVE to run late on one of the hottest nights of the year? Of course, that made him miss the last bus and he was left with no option, but to walk back to the apartment he shared with his mom and sister. He'd been in such a rush leaving class, Raion had barely even changed out of his gi; electing to wear the red bottoms underneath a tank top to stay cool. Thankfully, this situation had happened often enough that Raion knew of a shortcut through Mizumoto Park. In addition, the breeze blowing through the park would be a welcome relief from the heat and sweat of the dojo. At this point, Raion wasn't even worried about rushing home. His mom would get back even later than he would, and Aiko was old enough to take care of herself.

Shortly after entering the park, Raion heard his cell phone buzzing from inside his gym bag. After pulling it out, he was surprised to see a notification from Digimon: Emergence. The teenager had been a frequent player at one point, but after Aiko decided it wasn't 'cool' to be playing video games with her brother, she'd abandoned him and their frequent outings to play the game. A LARGE GATHERING OF X-DATA HAS BEEN DETECTED! PERFECT TIME TO TRAIN YOUR DIGIMON! The notification flashed across the screen. With nothing better to do, Raion opened the app and began to play as he walked.

Of course, all his old settings were still in place. Upon opening the game, he was greeted by his partner "Elecmon". Raion smiled as he saw the little red Digimon perk up on screen. He'd received Elecmon's digi-egg when he'd first started playing the game and he immeadiately felt an odd kinship with the Digimon. His sister and friends had laughed at him for holding onto the 'weak' starter, but Raion had been determined to help the little guy become as strong as he could. In a few moments, Raion was walking and playing like he had never stopped in the first place. He was so lost in the game that he didn't notice the small crowd of players up ahead. When he finally looked up, Raion looked around confused for several moments before he realized, "Oh. Are you all here for the X-Antibody event?"

Digimon: Materialization

Apologies for being late to this… This has been a rough week for me.

Flynt Mantle

Name: Flynt Mantle

Gender: Boy

Age: 17

Personality: A real Archimedes-type, Flynt could spend a whole week in front of his computer if he could get away with it. Flynt is borderline obsessed with coding and sees developing new programs, battlechips, and Navi adjustments as the only worthwhile use of his time. When he gets the inspiration for a new idea, Flynt instantly forgets everything around him and will begin to obsessively make notes on his - ever present - notepad or PET. While Flynt is a skilled Netbattler in his own right, he usually takes part in said battles as a means of test driving his latest in Navi enhancements or whatever battle strategy he's recently cooked up.

Thanks to his keen intellect, Flynt is a natural success when it comes to his classes. However, he sometimes gets ahead of himself and is prone to slacking off in classes where he knows he's already ahead. This has caused several of his classmates to assume he's lazy while also grating on his teachers' nerves. Some call him lazy - or a bum - but Flynt has little time to worry or even care about what people are saying behind his back. He has better things to do and he rests assured in knowing that his skills as both a hacker and a Netbattler are undeniable and it's more than earned him a place at ACDC Academy.

Bio: Having lived in Den City his whole life, Flynt's life could be considered 'uneventful'. Both his parents worked during the day which often left him home alone when he got home from school. With little to do, Flynt would often spend his time on his personal terminal messing around on the net. During this time, Flynt began to develop his reputation as a programmer. His father was an employee at SciLab and noticed his son's budding interest in computers and the Net as a whole. Wanting to inspire his son, Flynt's father brought home a pair of NormalNavis that had been set to be decommissioned by SciLab. Dubbing them Spark and Forge, Flynt installed them into his computer and they became his partners in crime for developing programs and modding his friends' computers and NetNavis.

Eventually, the quality of Flynt's work began to plateau and he realized he was going to need higher grade computer parts if he wanted to keep improving at his craft. Since the parts cost him more than what he could afford on his meager allowance, Flynt began looking into Natbattling tournaments as an option to earn the Zenny he needed. The problem now was that Spark and Forge were years out of date by NormalNavi standards and neither would last a second in a real fight. With few other options, Flynt decided it was time to make his own personal NetNavi.

After weeks of scouring arcades, spectating tournaments, and observing matches between his friends, Flynt began his most ambitious project to date. He barely ate or slept for three days straight as he wanted this to be his 'perfect' creation. Even Spark and Forge practically overclocked themselves as this project raced to it's conclusion. Finally... the NetNavi was completed. Blazeman.EXE was born!

It wasn't long before Blazeman settled into the dynamic of being Flynt's partner. Spark and Forge were especially happy to have an extra set of hands to help with the programming work, and Flynt even became a minor celebrity in his class when he turned up one day with a Navi that he'd built and programmed (mostly) all on his own (his dad had helped when creating the Core Data). Blazeman quickly proved himself to be a skilled battler in his own right. He was far from perfect, but that only added onto the reasons why Flynt wanted to become a better programmer. Blazeman was his, and he could always keep improving upon his work. He'd see to it that his partner was the best Navi around!

Misc:
-Flynt loves spicy food. Even when he's down in the dumps, a bowl of spicy ramen always puts him in a good mood.
-Flynt's record for most days without sleeping is four. He slept in class for the next two.
-Despite technically having three NetNavis, Spark and Forge are rarely seen by anyone else. Most people didn't even know Flynt HAD NetNavis before Blazeman.

Blazeman.EXE

NetNavi: Blazeman

Element/Type: Fire

NetNavi Abilities:
-BlazeBlaster: Blazeman converts his right arm into a cannon and fires a volley of digital flames at his opponent.
-Solar Roar: A close-range attack where Blazeman grabs his opponent and unleashes the hottest of flames from his mouth.
-Flame Jets: Despite his bulky exterior, Blazeman quickly moves across the battlefield thanks to jets installed on his back and in his feet.

NetNavi Personality:
Unusually inquisitive and intelligent, Blazeman is unique among 'bulky' NetNavis as they tend to have more meatheaded personalities. In addition to being a battler, Flynt wanted to ensure his partner could also take part in the programming work he'd be doing in the off-time. As a result, Blazeman's personality is quite like his NetOp in that he is overly enthusiastic about gathering information and finding new and unique ways to apply the things he's learned.

Outside of his quirks, Blazeman is rather sociable and friendly to any new Navis he meets. When it comes time to battle, he can sometimes get distracted if the enemy employs a strategy he's not prepared for. Blazeman will turn serious however when he feels as though is NetOp or his friends are in danger. He's always more than ready to showcase his latest upgrades and destroy any threats to the safety and survival of the Net.

NetNavi Misc:
-When it comes time to work, Blazeman can produce a pair of smaller hands from within his bigger ones when he needs to switch from manual work to detailing.
-Blazeman has TERRIBLE taste in music.
-Despite being spec-ed for ranged combat and defense, Blazeman has a slight interest in learning how to use sword battlechips. Flynt doesn't own many however.
-Blazeman's favorite chips to use in battle are the extremely common Mini-Boomers. He enjoys chucking them and making explosions.

@Darkmoon Angel@Psyker Landshark I'm still here. Just hammering out the last details on my sheet. My computer decided to crash shortly after my last post here so all my recent stuff has been over the phone...

Digimon: Materialization

One last question, but how is DNA Digivolution being handled? I.e. are the two monsters sharing a conscience, or will it be like one Digimon “absorbs” the other to create the new form? (Cyber-Sleuth/Hacker’s Memory style)

Digimon: Materialization

Tamer

Name: Raion Akiyama
Age: 18
Appearance:
Digivice variant: Digivice SP, Crimson w/ Orange Highlights
Digimon partner(s): Elecmon
Personality: On the surface, Raion appears to be a closed-off and distant individual with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. Due to a rough upbringing, Raion learned from an early age how to mask his true emotions and never let people get a good read on him. This emotional barrier often causes people to assume he’s a harsh and uncaring young man. Despite this conception, the few people who've been able to get through to Raion have observed this is a kind and caring heart underneath his cold exterior. Seeing his emotional side his rare as he fears opening up too much would leave him being hurt again. The few times Raion will let his guard down are when he's around people he trusts (which is a short list), and when he's engaging in his two primary passions: Martial Arts and Video Games.
Backstory: Hailing from a rural town, Raion is a fish out of water in the city. His parents divorced when he was young, and Raion's mother uprooted him and his younger sister Aiko from their hometown in order to get away from their dad. Shortly after moving, Mrs. Akiyama's required her to be away from home more often than not, leaving Raion as Aiko's sole caretaker. These two events ultimately became the source for Raion's 'distant' persona as he resents his mom for forcing them into a life he didn't want and dropping extra responsibilities on them by not being around. The only things that helped to curb Raion's frustrations are his Aikido training - his sensei being a father figure to him - and playing video games with Aiko. In fact, it was Aiko that got Raion into playing Digimon: Tamers World with the two of them eagerly awaiting Emergence when it first launched. As of now, Aiko has moved on from the game (having decided playing video games as 'nerdy') leaving Raion to play it by himself, as well as a few friends from his Aikido Club.
