If there’s one thing that Sanderson prides himself in, it’s portraying himself in the dignified manner he was raised. Where he came from, manners and chivalry weren’t dead but rather the most common way one could act towards both friend and foe. He doesn’t believe in “getting even” with anyone, be it in all good fun or when it comes to grudges.

A selfless and genuine soul, Sanderson is well-spoken. He doesn’t normally consider himself reserved, for he does always have an opinion on something, but not to be confused with someone who feels the need to share their words with everyone around them, Sanderson finds the idea of opening the floor for opposing opinions about a topic absolutely riveting. Nothing excites him more than being able to talk out the politics of the world with his peers in a civilized debate. Aside from tea and the occasional cookie, debating the issues of the world is one of his true loves.

One thing that could be noted as an annoying trait that, to Sanderson’s ignorance, could get on people’s nerves is his tendency to be too cheerful and positive for his own good. This doesn’t mean he’s like the Sugar Plum Fairy or has a sugary-sweetness outlook on life. It’s more so that he’s optimistic and believes that life is full of its own mysteries. He also believes that one shouldn’t focus on the destination. They should enjoy the journey and have a blast while doing it. This, as one could expect, could rub some people the wrong way.

Sanderson Glasswell comes from the prestigious and equally well-known family of Glasswell from the Glasswell continent. They date back a hundred years when it was just one man with a dream: bringing manners back. An ambitious goal, especially when you consider how kids these days seem to be drifting further and further what made this world of ours a decent place to live in. When the craze to erupt and disrespect your elders was taking priority, a man of just twenty years of age, Samuel Glasswell made it his mission to make manners great again.

As time went on, so did the name of Glasswell. It reached far and wide in the trade of manufacturing. With the shipping business being at an all-time high, the time to make a profit was at its highest point. And through this, a legacy was created for his children and his children’s children. Eventually, it reached the point of maximum capacity where they relocated to one of the main islands of Pandora. The great, great grandson of Samuel Glasswell had been born into a world where war was the norm. He, the one who was named after his great grandfather’s brother, Sanderson, was placed in quite the interesting situation. Still, his parents wouldn’t allow the strifes of Pandora have any say how they carried on the values that Anders’ father grew up on. Every life lesson taught to him and every line that his grandfather and his grandfather's father instilled into the son down the ladder had been permanently cemented into Sanderson’s brain at a young age.

Though the Glasswells would prove to be mostly innocent, in the years that would follow Sanderson having lived for a quarter century, some dark times were in store for them. Bad investments made during the troubling times of war, plus rumors of there being some surprising claims of collusion that they had with the Librarium. Though proven to be false after extensive investigations, it had tarnished the good name of the Glasswell family, especially among the inner-circle that they were pretty involved with. Whether this was because they were proven to reject the Librarium or that the rumors themselves were too much, the one thing that proved to be without a doubt was this shadow looming over them. In times where loyalty to Pandora’s ruling government, the legacy of Samuel Glasswell had been forever ruined in the eyes of the public.

Deciding to take action instead of letting it consume him like it did to his siblings, Sanderson went on a journey of self-discovery. Along the way, he came across the Sky Pirate mage guild of Cloud Chasers. Intrigued and fascinated by the idea of traveling in the skies, Sanderson joined with gusto. He knew he couldn’t pass this up. Plus, this would provide him the comfort of knowing he wouldn’t be alone in his endeavor to redeem his family name.

Sand Magic

Glass Magic
A caster-type magic that allows the user to manipulate Ethernano in the air and ground to create, shape, size, mold, and manipulate a hardened, sharp material simply known as glass. This magic has high offensive capabilities, as well as defensive and supplementary uses. It bends to the will of the user and whatever their desires are, with the right training, this magic can become their greatest weapon. It is at its strongest in places where there is plenty of sand around because glass is initially created from sand itself. Anders has been known to create a moderate amount of glass through this application.

”How long are they going to keep us for?”

Jackson impatiently stomped his boots on the smooth floor, a quick series of tapping noises reverberating through the seemingly empty walls. When he found himself being forced to sit still in a room he wasn’t familiar with and with people he didn’t know, he got antsy; and when Jackson got antsy, one could say he was even more irritable than usual. That, given what has already been displayed by the large male, was saying something. Being forced into this situation did nothing but put him in a sour mood from the get-go. Jackson’s only saving grace was the shared opinion that waiting wasn’t an option, or at least, not welcomed.

Of course, there was always that one guy who was the odd man out. This was represented in the monk who was the last one to show arrive. Jackson didn’t give him much attention in the beginning because he had more important things to focus on - well, really, he just didn’t care, but when you voice an opinion that an already-pissed off man disagreed with, it wouldn’t take a neurosurgeon to figure out what his next course of action would be.

“To hell with your patience. We’ve been waiting here long enough.”

Jackson stood up, taking one last glance around the room. The same eyes that had scanned the room several times over when they were trying to alleviate some of the boredom that was gathered by just sitting down were now scanning the room for a different reason. They had purpose and fire in them. Though not completely visible, Jackson’s demeanor was no longer one of misguided frustration. It too had a purpose and that purpose was to find the god-forsaken exit.

“You can sit around and do nothing if you want, Baldo. I, for one, am going to force their hand so we can get some fucking answers!” Jackson pounded his fists together, fiery determination oozing from his body.

Coupled with it are two sparkling gems of emerald that are the windows into her soul of a diva-in-the-making.}

5'2, 110lbs, and petite figure
_{It is not impossible to surmise that, given who her parents are, the exact figure that Sav has from her height and weight to the body type is exactly to be expected. This does not mean that she doesn't think she could benefit from a curvy figure. No matter what she will do, her metabolism will always kick in, which results in her body keeping its petite shape. She does have natural curves like everyone else does but it is the overwhelming fact that she's small and her body shape reflects that.}

High end and fashionable style

Grade

Junior

Appearance Details

Dark brown hair and blue eyes
_{Marco's never had any trouble when it came taking care of his dark locks. A simple wash here and there was all that he needed to keep the silky smoothness of his full head of hair. Each strand is like something out of a cloud; so airy and so weightless, his hair is like a gift from God himself. And when you add that with piercing blue eyes, you have the face of someone that isn't that bad to view upon on a regular basis.}
5'10, 170lbs, and athletic build
_{It should come as no surprise, given the daily activities he does, that Marco is well-fit. He has a skin color of mostly white with a shade of dark tan to give him at least some color. With a strict schedule of being on top of his physical game as well as anything else that matters (blame his mother for that one), he has gained himself quite the athletic body. Though he is nowhere some of the kids at his school nor the other members of the sporting teams he's apart of, what he has been able to gain was an admirable amount of body muscle; and with a height of nearly six feet and the appropriate weight, his proportions from head to toe are, if nothing else, what they should be.}
Casual and sporty fashion
_{And going off of the tangant of his physical phisyque, the clothes that he wears on his back and the type of fashion he, well fashions, is something that fits with his monikier of class clown. Though he's physically active, he also has a great sense of humor. Though it's often looked down upon from his mother, in his closet, you will find a bunch of shirts (both longsleeve and short and less) with hilarious, if not corny and cringy, one-liners and images on it. None really exlicipt but just something a joker like Marco would be seen wearing. Aside from that, however, his closet is full of jeans, some sporty blazers, shoes of various makes (and for various situations), and a couple of former suits for dances and fancy dinners.}

Being raised on surprising morals and a one desire from his mother , Marlena Castillo, for her children to be honest and true to themselves, Marco Alejandro has mostly followed what his mother raised him on.

From a young age, he was cracking jokes and making people laugh; an act that continued into his double digit years, though by then he had refined his craft into various pranks. Popularity soon came as everyone looked forward to his one-liners and his infectious smile.

But life was about to test him because, with the arrival of his birth father soon on the horizon, only time would tell if this positive perspective would hold up.

Appearance Details

Silky Hair and Cocoa Eyes
_{Kai has been blessed with hair that’s always been naturally silky. From the moment he realized that his hair was something quite special, he took extra time out of his day to make sure he took proper care of it. He usually wears it down. This could often lead to some problems because it grows at a fast rate. Sometimes, however, he does put it in a ponytail of sorts. Rarely will he cut it. And what would be paired perfectly with this hair? His two, coconut-colored eyes, of course. Makes his skin color of light brown make an emphasis on brown the central focus of his physical appearance, doesn’t it?}

A Surfer’s Bod and Style
_{To put it quite simply, Kai has the body of a long-time surfer - which he is. Though he is average height and his weight matches, it’s his endurance and overall visage that paints this picture of what exactly Kai is. This isn’t even considering what he chooses to wear. From the very moment, his identity was starting to form, Kai started to come into his own when it came to his style. To the disapproval of his parents, who wanted him to dress a certain way, he had this idea of wearing tank tops, shorts that were often floral-themed/colored brightly, and various clothing items that would make him stand out more than his long hair would. One thing that seems to be a trademark with him is his beanie that he always wears.}

Personality Traits

Low Key → All about the "flow of things → Chill → Lazy → Lacks ambition → Surprisingly-short-tempered → Impulsive → Untrustworthy

Upbringing Synopsis

What do you get when you cross asian stereotypes with polynesian rebellion? You get the wonderful mix of Nikai Parata. With two doctors as parents who, above everything else, value respect and success in their kids, there’s a certain expectation that is born from it. Yet, for Kai, none of that was met. Not when he was being raised in Sydney Australia nor when his parents were called to medical arms to take residence at Miami General as the two leading surgeons - and with their two kids, no less. This was all fine by Kai and Kiki. The latter could do the remainder of medical school in Miami and Kai could catch some killer waves in Palm Beach, which, for the most part, he lived alone with an empty house and full staff.

“They might be rich but that doesn’t mean they around, does it? Oh well, bro! More time to catch them killer waves.”

Family

Dante Virgil Leone, Digimon: Project F

”Only cowards run. Real courage means standing and fighting for what’s yours and for those you care about.”

Name:

Dante Virgil Leone

Age:

Sixteen

Gender:

Male

Height:

5’6

Build:

Slim - Athletic build

Digivice Color:

A dominantly slate gray color with an accent of gold on the outer rim of the digivice.

Personality:

There are a lot of layers to Dante’s overall personality that give way to many facial reactions to situations of all kinds and physical reactions that tend to present a dominant portrayal of things. Any situation at hand, no matter the severity or how casual it may be, draw out a temperamental, often proud, Dante Leone. He suffers from not being able to control certain quirks of his mentality. He seldom displays control over his emotions, which could be a problem for any group he’s affiliated with. He could be the cause of havoc rising due to his conflicting nature and being at odds with just about everyone who might have a differing view of things from his own.

The deeper you go down into the pride rock that is this Italian Lion - a Leone, if you will - you will find something remarkably admirable. His courage is nearly unlimited and, though it’s not often through intelligence, he’ll be the first one to jump into danger. He thinks he’s invinsible, yet this doesn’t reflect itself when it comes to Elecmon. His own partner, that which was drawn to his natural foolhardiness, respects how, unlike most humans, didn't shy away from standing up for what he believed in. Though Elecmon thinks that Dante could dile it down, it cannot be denied they are a perfect fit because both accept their faults and encourage their strengths.

Within time, Dante doesn’t seem all that bad because, once you get to know him, there’s an earnest sweetness about him. A fierce determination laced with a genuine motivation to safeguard those who mean the most to him. It’s not a front or a trick. With Dante, it’s true to the popular saying: what you see is what you get; and let it be known that Dante is not a pretender. For better or worse, what’s on the surface is likely to be in the depths, just not as clear.

Appearance:

Dante’s a boy who has still some growing to do, though it’s apparent just what sort of man he’ll grow into. He’s got a full head of golden hair that almost makes it seem like his very head is a beacon in which the sun has found a permanent residence; and the blue silver orbs that the moon often presents itself within the sea are where he can see everything there is to see. And never is this italian-born man without a handy bag with all that he needs, his trademark outfit that consists of a faded brown-colored beanie cap, a checkered jacket that has shades of blue and silver throughout, a grey, long-sleeve shirt, and a white one underneath. Topping the entire outfit out are a pair of dark grey slacks and your run-of-the-mill shoes that are perfect for long journeys.

As noted above, Dante has a bag that is often home to some of the essentials one might need on their person in any given situation, plus some of his favorite reading material. More often than not, the common items in his bag are as followed: water, some canned food, and his cell phone. A few fire-making materials, but mostly it’s just those three mentioned. He really has to have his phone. As a teen, that’s pretty much the thing he must have.

Backstory:

You get an odd one in Dante for both how he was raised and how he turned out. He comes from a rather wealthy family who took advantage of the Digital Age. It was apparent it was going to be a very lucrative opportunity, so Giovanni and Evangeline Leone knew that they had to strike the gold while there was gold still to mine. As a result, they invested heavily in this Digital Age. Any companies that would try to stop them from expanding, they’d acquire them either through the proper, morally-white channels, or go above and beneath their previous actions to secure their place as Italy’s top business dealers of the Digital Age. And the weirdest thing of it was that it worked. Within five years, Leone Incorporated became Italy’s leading investor in this Digital Age.

And that happened while they were raising a single heir to all of this fame and fortune. A boy’s name whose pedigree was so rich and so pristine that any name given wouldn’t do. He had to have a name that would strike fear into his future adversaries and make his future associates know his name. So, as a result, the Leone’s agreed that their only child that they would bear would have the name of both brothers from the highly-acclaimed Dante’s Inferno. His name would be Dante Virgil Leone. A name that would be fear-inducing and wouldn’t dare encourage people to question.

As Dante would grow up, it became apparent that, despite his parents best wishes, he wouldn’t mold into the young man that they hoped he would be. In fact, he turned out exactly the opposite of what they envisioned for their heir. Their approach to parenting was being as strict and rigid as humanly possibly. Dante responded to this, of course, but nowhere near in the way that these two were hoping.

Absolute rebellion was Dante’s answer to their rigid parental style. As soon as his rebel genes would come to the surface, one may describe Dante as a problem child. Always having an attitude, getting into fights, showing a disregard for his parents’ authority, and doing all that he could to make their lives a living hell; and all the while, Dante found himself being engulfed in this game called Digimon. Maybe it was part of his reason for not paying attention to his studies. The reason really isn’t important, but what was evident was unlike his school and regard of his parents’ own feelings and their molding of him to take control of his family’s company, he was excelling at this game. He took breaks from it to engage in his athletics, but after grades had slipped, Digimon became his sole focus.

There came a point in time for Dante’s life where something - well, for a lack of better words, strange - happened to him. You see, it was like any other day: he was at a park near his parent’s villa and was with a couple of his buds that were just like him in being the only kids of highly-esteemed corporate powerhouses that reject their parents’ vision for their lives. It just happened that they were all apart of their private school’s track and field team. Among them, Dante was their appointed leader. WEll, truth be told, he was the fastest and captain of their track and field team, so it wasn’t a matter of discussion. Plus, they all looked up to him.

And as he went home, there came a package. IT didn’t get stopped at the front gate of his villa nor did it reach his parents’ prying eyes. No, instead it was resting on his computer desk. It was a rather small package - one of those that could fit in the palm of a hand. It was as normal as a package could be. A brown, cardboard box with some decorative things on it. A bow, of sorts, was at the center and Dante received a card. Only thing it said was “You earned this, Dante.” He didn’t understand it, but after he opened it, he saw something that blew his mind. A single device that, if he had remembered correctly at that very moment, it was no ordinary device. When he touched it, it first pulsated, the shocked him. Not enough to make him drop it; just enough to cause him to feel a tingling sensation run through his hand. After that, the device itself would shift from its barren, light blue, almost dull-grey, color into something more vibrant. In the moment it had changed shades, Dante saw that it became deeper in blue and grey, almost as if it was like a reduced cornflower blue with the outline of it being as golden as the sun.

For a moment, Dante was uncertain was happening to him. Then, not even a full minute later, the device vibrated and the colors became so bright that the next thing he knew, he was in a different location that wasn’t his room. It was odd and strange. There he was with a few others holding the same devices, someone telling them about Project F..

And then it hit Dante’s mind. Project F was an expansion pack of the game he enjoyed playing. When it hit him, he saw he had an egg in front of him. A single egg with the colors of the sun and fire going through it and an outline of blue on the sides of it.

Dante was now left with his own choice - something that he’s never been presented with his entire life. In that moment, he didn’t take that long to decide. Only two words exited his mouth as he smirked.

“I’m in.”

~ X ~

Digimon:

Elecmon

Digimon Name:

Leo

Personality:

Leo is like Dante in a lot of ways. They both exhibit the same amount of foolhardy bravery that almost makes them seem to be ideal for their partnership. Though, Elecmon is more proud and less likely to display his emotions like Dante has the potential to be. He’s also got a bit of a mouth on him. There’s often some discord between fighter and digimon when it comes to what should be the plan of attack. Elecmon might not enjoy it all that much, but Dante rubs off on him. Their souls are linked and, though one might be forced into the other’s way of doing things, their common trait of having the courage to do what no man, woman, or mon, would do themselves, makes their unique bond something worth all of the differences that they may or may not have.

  • Thunder Cloud
    Elecmon jumps into the air and his entire body emits a static aura. From there, all of the gathered electricity is discharged from his mouth into a wave of concentrated lightning. This is, without a doubt, considered Elecmon's signature attack. it is his most powerful and one he often relies on.
  • Sparking Tails
    Elecmon's tails generate static electricity that sends nine, thin beams of energy with a shocking element at either one opponent or a group of enemies. When used on more than one opponent, it can render them paralyzed for a short amount of time. If all centered on one enemy, it does have the potential to maximize those effects, even have the desired effect on a champion-level foe.
  • Static Tackle
    For this technique, Elecmon's electrical powers surround his entire body in a transparent aura of static electricity. As soon as it reaches its maximum point, Elecmon tackles his opponent, sending all of the bolts of electricity into his opponent to cause electrical damage.
