[center][color=7ea7d8][i]It took them long enough, but it finally exists: a digimon MMO where you get to play as a digimon! Pick your Rookie, explore the continent set up for you, battle other digimon, collect upgrades, and become the strongest digimon on the server! You consider yourself a fan of the franchise and, hey, it's free to play. It costs real money for immediate upgrades, extra moves, and special second Megas, but it's still possible to be #1 without them. So of course you signed up. You've even met some other players of varying experience and befriended them. Sure makes clearing dungeons easier.

It's a weekend when your group decides to try clearing one of the trickier dungeons for a band of under-Ultimate digimon. It's going fairly well. You've just opened the boss room to defeat the digimon within and get your reward.

Only to discover someone else beat you to it. Someone that doesn't exist, and yet there it is. And now you're going to get a chance to play the game on a much more personal level...[/i][/color][/center]

Rules/information to keep in mind:
[list][*]Of course, no powerplaying/godmodding. While I've yet to find any reason to ban a particular digimon, it should be remembered that their flavor text will not necessarily apply to their in-game abilities.
[*]Be reasonable in your decisions. I won't punish you for whatever choice you make regarding the plot. I probably will punish you if you, say,  provoke a notably more powerful enemy.
[*]Don't expect a lot of gore/sexual content; most enemies are AI and computer models, and the same does apply to your characters. Swearing is acceptable - no server filters.
[*]As the plot will be driven by your decisions, I strongly urge everyone to communicate, either via PM or in the OOC.
[*]If you feel you can handle it, I will allow multiple characters due to the possibility of death.
[*]I will handle digimon NPCs/item drops. Suggestions are welcome for items.
[*]If you are a slow poster or unable to post for a while, please notify me.
[*]PvP is currently banned. I'd rather no one had their character die on page 1.
[*]The rules and available information may change, but I will post the changes before editing them in, and there will be no punishment for anyone who broke a rule before it was made.[/list]

[hider=Goal and Relevant Info]
To be announced[/hider]

[hider=Item Upgrades]
[list]
[*]Attack
[list][*]Spear/sword/bow: Which one you receive depends on your digimon's attack style (e.g. Agumon, who has a short-range melee move and a ranged move, would get a spear). The item gives a slightly stronger attack than a special move but has no elemental association.
[*]Elemental crystal: can add an element to an attack (e.g. Gabumon's Blue Blaster, associated with Fire, can get an Ice bonus). Elements are based off the ten ancient spirits.
[*]Scope: improves likelihood to hit or notice weak points. Out of battle, it's useful for spying.[/list]
[*]Defense
[list][*]Shield: Provides a small boost to defense; can be given to other fighters and deflect ranged moves.
[*]Armor: Provides a larger boost to defense; cannot be removed.[/list]
[*]Speed
[list][*]Small wings: allows the digimon to move faster due to being lighter on its feet.[/list]
[*]Health
[list][*]Health kit: boosts the amount of damage a digimon can take.[/list]
[*]Digivolution
[list][*]Energy crystal: doubles the amount of time a digimon can remain digivolved.
[*]Digivice: allows access to higher stages (1 for Ultimate, 4 for Mega)[/list][/list][/hider]

[hider=Other Items]
[list][*]Various quest items: usually digimon parts, like Leomon's mane or Angemon's feathers. 
[*]Bread: heals a digimon for half-health.
[*]Meat: heals a digimon for full health.
[*]Battery: removes cool-down time for digivolution.
[*]Teleporter: Allows digimon to instantly go to any area they've been to before (for purposes of the rp, currently you'd be able to teleport to the central hub (a large city with plenty of shops and healers), a few Rookie/Champion-appropriate caves, and the surrounding jungle area).
[*]Experience booster: Increases rate of leveling for digimon (for purposes of the rp, this would result in more upgrade drops).
[*]Summon cards: Allows digimon to summon an enemy to fight for them.
[*]Accessories: while they add no bonus or have any other effect, they do let you customize your digimon avatar.[/list][/hider]
