Glad to see you're interested [@Windicator].

I started basically the same way. Other than a tiny bit of PTU that I actually played, and making this, we're basically on the same footing. Who was your advice/footage preference? (Dunno what those ones are.)

You don't have to DM. We need more players than Data Masters, obviously.

Oh, that'd be neat. I'd appreciate that. I thought about it myself earlier on in the project.
It's as permanent as the DM wants it to be in the setting, but the default (implied if not stated) is actually permanent Digivolving unless a heavy defeat is suffered. Should that occur, unless being defeated changes the conditions, it's easier to get the same form, but others can still be achieved.
