I've been playing the game Digimon Heroes for a while now, and I enjoy it. In short, the game revolves around card battles. However, I'd like to build off of the elements of the game to create a new story. Let me get down to it. [hider=Races]In Digimon Heroes there are five races: Beast ("Dragon" in-game, but I feel Beast is more appropriate), Knight, Nature, Holy, and Dark. The game works in a rock-paper-scissors kind of way. [center]- [b]Beast[/b] is strong against Nature, but weak against Knight. Embodies Digimon similar to Greymon, Garurumon, etc. - [b]Nature[/b] is strong against Knight, but weak against Beast. Includes Digimon like Aquilamon, Arbormon, etc. - [b]Knight[/b] is strong against Beast, but weak against Nature. Includes machine and knight Digimon, such as Locomon and Knightmon. -[b] Holy[/b] is strong against Dark, but also weak to it. Includes fairy, angel, and otherwise holy-esque Digimon. - [b]Dark[/b] is strong against Holy, but also weak to it. Includes demon, fallen angel, and supernatural-esque Digimon.[/center][/hider] [hider=Attribute]A feature I wish to add. Attribute is a computer file the Digimon represents, and can differentiate between individuals of the same species. This will act as a secondary typing in battle. [center]- [b]Vaccine[/b] is strong against Virus, but weak against Data. Most Holy-type Digimon fall into this category. - [b]Virus[/b] is strong against Data, but weak against Vaccine. Most Dark-type Digimon fall into this category. - [b]Data[/b] is strong against Vaccine, but weak against Virus. A whole myriad of Digimon fall into this category. - [b]Free[/b] is a rarer typing, and usually only applies to Armor-level Digimon, but can also encompass other species. Deals and takes normal damage against all types. - [b]Variable[/b] is unique to species related to the Ten Legendary Warriors. This type changes to match its opponent and only deals half damage; however, they also take half damage. - [b]Unknown[/b] applies to many young Digimon, as well extremely powerful species like Apocalymon.[/center][/hider] [hider=Level]All Digimon are assigned a different level, based on their strength and evolution stage. [center]- [b]Fresh[/b] is the first stage. Extremely weak. - [b]In-Training[/b] is the second stage. Stronger than Fresh Digimon, but still unsuited for real battles. - [b]Rookie[/b] is the third stage. Perhaps the most widely known stage. Some Rookie-type Digimon can take on Champion-levels with help. - [b]Champion[/b] is the fourth stage. Champion Digimon are strong enough to battle on their own, but become stronger with their Tamer. - [b]Ultimate[/b] is the fifth stage. Ultimate Digimon are some of the most powerful, and is usually the highest level a Digimon can attain without a Tamer. - [b]Mega[/b] is the sixth stage. Mega Digimon are exceedingly rare, and considered to be the most powerful Digimon. - [b]Super Ultimate[/b] is an unofficial seventh stage. Few Digimon can attain this level, and the only ones that have a Tamer can attain it, if their bond is strong enough. - [b]Armor[/b] is an alternative stage between Champion and Ultimate, as well as Ultimate and Mega. This stage ALWAYS requires a Digimental ("DigiEgg") to attain. - [b]Hybrid[/b] is an "artificial" stage related to the Ten Legendary Warriors. This is further broken down into more stages: [u]Human Hybrid[/u] is comparable to Champion; [u]Beast Hybrid[/u] is comparable to Ultimate; [u]Fusion Hybrid[/u] is comparable to Mega in power; [u]Unified Hybrid[/u] is comparable to Super Ultimate.[/center][/hider] [hider=Digivolving]Digivolution is the process of a Digimon changing into a stronger form. However there are many types of Digivolution. While Digivolution is often permanent in Digimon without Tamers, Tamer-bound Digimon can temporarily attain stronger forms. Listed are different types of Digivolution. For a list of Digimon and their evolutionary lines, consult [url=http://www.digimon-heroes.com/digiwiki]here[/url]. [center]- [b]Dark Digivolution[/b] occurs when a Tamer Digivolves their partner with dark feelings. In this stage, these Digimon are wild and violent. - [b]Super Digivolution[/b] involves a Rookie Digimon skipping the Champion stage and Digivolving straight to Ultimate. - [b]Warp Digivolution[/b] involves a Rookie Digimon bypassing both Champion and Ultimate levels to Mega. - [b]DNA Digivolution[/b] involves two separate Digimon being "fused" together. - [b]Armor Digivolution[/b] requires Digimental to attain. More often than not, Rookie or Champion Digimon use this to attain stronger forms, however, some Digimentals Digivolve a partner to Mega-level power. - Some Digimon can [b]Mode Change[/b] to other forms. For example, Imperialdramon can attain Dragon Mode, Fighter Mode, and Paladin Mode. Some Mode Changes have specific requirements. - [b]Slide Evolution[/b] is reserved solely for Hybrid Digimon, allowing a Digimon to freely change from Human Hybrid to Beast Hybrid, and vice versa. - [b]Fusion Evolution[/b] is reserved solely for Hybrid Digimon, allowing a Digimon to fuse their two forms to create a stronger one. - [b]Unified Spirit Evolution[/b] is reserved solely for Hybrid Digimon. This allows a temporary fusion of five Legendary Spirit sets. - [b]Ancient Spirit Evolution[/b] is only known to occur when a Hybrid Digimon attains all other Spirits. The only Digimon capable of this is Susanoomon. - [b]Burst Digivolution[/b] is a rare phenomenon, allowing a Mega-level Digimon to temporarily attain Super Ultimate power. - [b]X-Digivolution[/b] occurs when a Digimon contracts the X-Antibody. This is more of a metamorphosis than true Digivolution, resulting in a stronger Digimon.[/center][/hider] [hider=Terminology]Much of Digimon Heroes' terminology is borrowed from the shows, but can mean different things. [center]- [b]DigiFuse[/b] occurs when a Tamer strengthens their Digimon with data from defeated foes. Once a certain level has been attained, the Digimon can Digivolve to their next form. - [b]Limit Break[/b] can only be attained by Mega-level Digimon. This is the only way to attain Super Ultimate form. - [b]Digi-Modification[/b] is the process in which a Tamer uses certain cards to power up their Digimon. For example, a Tamer can Digi-Modify certain attacks and traits from another Digimon. These are single-use, and new cards can be attained from battles. - [b]Digimon Natural Ability (DNA)[/b] is what allows a Digimon to attain Burst Mode. - [b]Race Cards[/b] are general-purpose cards that power up a Digimon's attacks. - The [b]D-Bracer[/b] is the Digivice used. The D-Bracer is worn on the wrist, and holds cards, and is used to implement Digi-Modifications. - [b]Bits[/b] are the currency of the Digital World. Bits can be gained by transferring data and defeating enemies. - [b]Exp. Floppy Disks[/b] can be used in place of Digimon data to help a Digimon grow stronger. [u]Bronze[/u] Floppy Disks are the most common, but yield less experience; [u]Silver[/u] Floppy Disks are less common, but still can be found quite easily; [u]Gold[/u] Floppy Disks are the rarest, and yield the greatest amount of experience of any of the disks. - A [b]Hard Drive[/b] is installed in every D-Bracer, and can be upgraded to hold more cards and data.[/center][/hider] In-game, you have a team of five Digimon, and one guest. In this, you will have a team of six, and all Digimon must start out at Rookie, or small Champion (ie- Gatomon). Ideally, I'm looking for three to five other people, one of which I'd like to be co-GM, as I can't always be online.
