[b][i]Digimon: Dawn's Glimmering[/i][/b] This is what you know. It is January 1, 2025, and you have received a ticket to an exclusive resort in Hawaii as part of a mysterious promotional project, and against your better judgment, you have decided to take it. And surprise, surprise, it seems to be the real deal: The Staff are friendly and nice, you receive discounts for everything, the food is tasty and filling, and the resort has free Netflix and a host of other streaming services. You are probably enjoying yourself, right? Then a freak blackout, then a storm, covers the entire resort, transporting you and other children and teenagers who had received the same message to the [b]Digital World[/b], a dimension composed of Humans' computer data mixed with their emotional energy. And by emotional energy, we mean something supernatural in nature mixed with the power of technology and information. Your lives will never be the same... [hider=What You Don't Know] In the 1940s, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) and Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC) were invented, one after the other. They created [i]a[/i] Digital World*, and their children were Homeostasis and Yggdrassil. Yggdrassil and Homeostasis, during a brief time of concord, birthed numerous other Yggdrassil units, supercomputers who implanted themselves into countless parallel universes, creating Digital Worlds in each of them as well. A few of these Yggdrassil units were benevolent, some were arrogant and tyrannical, but a few were merely devoted to esoteric goals and agendas. The local Yggdrassil merely wished to find others like himself, yet this goal was already enough to do damage, as in order to breach the walls between universes, said local Yggdrasil had to bust a hole in the Digital World; this would kill those inhabitants who cannot get to safety. Seven of the most powerful Digimon objected to that not just because their homes were threatened, but because they wanted Yggdrasil's power for themselves. These Seven Digimon, later known as the Seven Demon Lords/Seven Deadly Sins, attacked Yggdrasil as the latter was about to begin his plan, and killed him. They then took over the Digital World, replacing Yggdrassil's destructive neglect with their own destructive malice. Dorumon, the leader of Yggdrassil's Royal Knights, decided to resurrect him by recruiting eight human children (although adults would do if there are not enough children) to partner with eight Digimon, and the bonds that they form were intended to create emotional energy that will advance the Digimons' evolutions and their skills. After that, the plan is for them to overthrow the Seven Deadly Sins and then use the power of their bonds to revive Yggdrasil... Who would be free to burst open holes in the Digital World once more in an attempt to contact his siblings, as well as Homeostasis, Yggdrassil Prime, the ABC Computer, and ENIAC. Note that he does not plan on telling you this, as some secrets are best kept hidden. So yes, this is a morally grey tale where you choose between willful evil and wanton destruction, [i]unless[/i] you figure things out and come up with your own solution. Then things are black and white once more. *Atanasoff and ENIAC were Canon Characters until Digimon Adventure Tri retconned their existence, by the way, see [url=http://syldra.net/yesterday/eniacabc.html]this link[/url]. And yes, they were Canon Characters before Yggdrasil was a thing.[/hider] [center][url=https://discord.gg/KSHp5u7ktm][b]OOC Discussion Discord[/b][/url][/center] [B]Rules[/B] 1.) No Godmoding or Powergaming, aka no controlling other players' actions, no defeating your enemy in one shot, and no shrugging off all hits without a magical shield. 2.) You can have multiple characters and can run both a Human and a Digimon. 3.) Be polite to others. 4.) Caveat to 1.) You [I]can[/I] defeat your enemy in one shot if you have a Mega and they have a Rookie, but doing so will be looked down upon. 5.) Romance is allowed, whether same-sex or opposite-sex; just keep it SFW. 6.) The Royal Knights are still alive or truly dead/deleted, and so they cannot be played by players. However, they can be [i]NPCs[/i] partnered with Human PCs. Fair warning, by the way, this will be additional workload for the GM Team.
