NPC List


D-Connect


Ken Kuroda: President and CEO. He bought the publication rights of Digimon and used them to create the game as we know it. A bit of an eccentric, Kuroda is a very warm individual and often does away with formalities in favor of more casual interactions.

Samantha Chase: Kuroda's right hand person. Samantha was formerly a number cruncher for an American software company. When the Digimon game first released, she made a gamble and left her job to get one at D-Connect. That gamble seems to have paid off, since she now works directly for Mr. Kuroda, still crunching numbers but has also expanded her skill set to include public relations and damage control management. She's best described as a corporate ice queen, cunning and mentally tough as nails.

Family Members


For any PC's family members that appear in game and end up playing a role in the story.

Other Humans


Hongo: Dr. Akiyoshi Hongo was the physician and surgeon who treated Emu when his accident happened. Though unseen as of yet, he's often described by Emu as a brilliant doctor and a great man.

Digimon


For Digimon who are not one of the main partners, but still play a role in things.
Plot


In the late 90's, collectible Mons were all the rage. There were several games and toy lines attempting to sell their merchandise and entertain audiences, but one stood out among the rest: Digimon. It began as a manga in Japan that was later adapted into an anime. That anime proved successful enough to warrant an international release, and thus Digimon became popular worldwide. From this popularity, a trading card game was born, one where players built a deck with Digimon they could apply power up cards to in an attempt to overpower their opponent. It proved popular enough, and the Cards remained in print for several years.

But soon a gaming company called D-Connect came along. At the time of D-Connects formation, the Digimon trading card game had waned in popularity, and rights to the cards and monsters they represented were purchased by D-Connect for purposes that were soon revealed. D-Connect's enigmatic President, Ken Kuroda, unveiled his brilliant idea: the D-Scanners. Resembling Digivices, D-Scanners came with a Digi-egg pre-installed. It would hatch into a Digital Digimon, able to be raised like previous popular digital pet games, but this one came with a twist. The Digimon in the D-Scanners were programmed to be compatible with the card game, meaning players could apply power ups from the TCG to boost the Digimon's abilities. Coupled with the D-Scanners' ability to connect via WiFi and allow the stored Digimon to engage in battle, this reinvigorated Digimon's popularity, with D-Scanners selling like hot cakes all over the world.

Now, in the present day, Digimon is as popular as it's ever been. Several new manga and anime series have been made since the original, and both the D-Scanners and the TCG have been regularly updated to keep up with them. In fact, battling Digimon through the D-Scanners have become a rather popular sport in and of itself, spawning tournaments in regions around the world complete with rules and regulations, and even ban lists for the TCG aspect of the game. In fact, it's become all too common for Digimon battles to be used as a means of settling disputes. This popularity and widespread play has made the game far more influential in the economy and politics than it ever was at first, and this of course also applied to D-Connect, the company becoming rather enigmatic in its dealings and Ken Kuroda, its president, making only rare public appearances anymore. It's been the cause for some speculation among the populace.

This only increased further when - on November 29, 2016 - a Digital phenomena occurred in an Electronics store in Tokyo, Japan. Several computers and other devices within the store went haywire and suddenly produced a vicious creature made up of digital data that rampaged. It caused substantial damage to the store, but soon after its appearance it vanished back into the circuitry from which it originally came. All eyes were suddenly on D-Connect when the creature was described as looking vaguely like a Digimon. D-Connect found itself under fire both legally and by the media, and as such was quick to ensure the public that the "Cyber Beast" - as it was dubbed - was not their doing, but that they would work to find out the creature's origin and help create a means to prevent such an attack from happening again in the future.

Behind closed doors, D-Connect greenlit "Project Destiny" and on December 6, 2016 a cryptic email was sent out to a select group of players within their gaming database, the email even being signed by Mr. Kuroda personally. This email informed the readers that they had been chosen for a special promotion of an upcoming update for the game, and they would be given an exclusive tour of D-Connect's headquarters in Tokyo, all expenses paid. As if to sweeten the deal even further, the email promised the recipient an actual meet-and-greet with Mr. Kuroda himself as well as early access to the newest set of cards currently in line for a Christmas release. This email, should the chosen players - the Tamers, as they are called within the gaming circuit - accept the invitation, their world would be changed forever.

Because, you see... it's no longer just a game.

Basic Information


Hello all, and welcome to Digimon: Cyber Beasts. If the plot above didn't already clue you in, this an RP heavily inspired by the Digimon Tamers anime. It's not exactly the same, as you'll quickly discover, but they share certain aspects such as the Cards. The idea is that your character - should you choose to join - is among the top rankings in the Digimon game and for this reason was sent an email inviting them to tour D-Connect's headquarters as part of "Project Destiny". There, they will obtain a D-Scanner that essentially an actual Digivice with a "real" Digimon stored within. The story will take off from there, with what I hope will be many twists and turns along the way, as well as secrets to uncover.

We'll be taking cues from Tamers, namely the use of Cards to provide power ups for our Digimon partners. In fact, we'll be using the actual real life TCG as the template for the in-game TCG, just as Tamers did, but perhaps with a few rule tweaks here and there as the plot demands it.

Basic Rules


1. Follow all the standard rules of this website regarding content, flaming, and the like.
2. As GM, my word is law. Period.
3. The word of any Co-GM I appoint is also law. Period. Unless I overturn it for some reason, but hopefully that won't ever be necessary.
4. When making a character, try to avoid picking a blatantly overpowered Digimon for a partner.
5. Obtaining a new Digivolution, or the next one up, will be strictly regulated by me. In other words, you're not allowed to proceed to the next stage of Digivolution until I allow it. This prevents any one Tamer from getting too far ahead of the pack to keep things balanced.
6. I want this RP to last, so I'd appreciate it if all who join are willing to commit to it.

Character Template




It's a shame there isn't more interest in this. Actually, you have me beat easily, since my Digimon interest check didn't get any response at all.

Can I just say there are some striking similarities between your idea and mine? They aren't identical or similar by any means, but they do share a few notable elements. Namely, the sinister corporation pulling the strings. Albeit the company in my RP was a gaming company, since the setting in my thread would have been closer in vein to Digimon Tamers - taking place predominantly in the real world and having the Digimon be an established Digital-pet video game franchise that turn out to be real creatures instead of just game data.

Anyway, if this does continue forward I'd be delighted to be included in it.
"She's right." said Roy in a matter-of-fact tone, "All we've got right now is standing in this room. But I aim to change that..." he unrolled a poster-board and tacked it onto one of the few places left on the wall that wasn't plastered with information about Patterson. He took a sharpie marker from the table and began writing the names from the list across the top of the poster. From left to right it read: Red Hood, Cheshire, Grace, Thunder, Deathstroke, Deadshot, and Calculator.

"Contacting some of these individuals won't be easy. Convincing them to help us will probably be even more difficult. But we have to start somewhere. I say we start right here..." he pointed to Red Hood's name with the sharpie then began writing some information underneath his name, starting with his real name: Jason Todd, "Red Hood, aka Jason Todd. A former Robin, taken in and trained by the Batman himself. He went rogue some time before Anarchy took over, apparently he had a falling out with Bruce, the details aren't clear to me. But the last time I heard anything, he's still in Gotham somewhere, plus he's one of the few heroes who managed to remain masked, as far as I know Anarchy never unmasked him." he skipped over Cheshire for now and gestured to the name Grace.

"Grace Choi. Metahuman. Her power? Enhanced strength. She and I go back a ways, I first met her when I was still going by Speedy. She was a bouncer for Chaney's, a bar in Metropolis. I don't know if she's still there, but it's worth looking into. We could use the extra muscle." as he talked, Roy wrote down some of the information he was telling under Grace's name, indicating that each would have a column of notes and contact info dedicated to them. He moved on to the next name.

"Anissa Pierce, aka Thunder." Roy jotted her real name underneath the codename, "She's a meta with considerable lightning powers. Her father is Jefferson Pierce, aka Black Lightning. You may have heard of him. I'm afraid I don't know much beyond that, but a lightning meta would be pretty helpful against Anarchy's tech." after jotting down those notes, he moved on.

"Slade Wilson..." Roy said, almost with a bit of hesitation, "...but you probably know him better as Deathstroke the Terminator. Wilson joined the military at a young age, where he was later recruited for an experimental super soldier project that gave him enhanced combat skills and a healing factor. He went rogue sometime later, selling his deadly skills to clients who could afford them. He's been a known menace to both the Justice League and the Titans." that certainly explained why Roy knew this much about him, having dealt with the man personally alongside the Teen Titans, "Slade isn't the kind of man who would bend a knee to Anarchy. I can almost guarantee he's still out there somewhere."

"Floyd Lawton, aka Deadshot." Roy had moved on to the next name, "After shooting and killing his brother, Floyd went became one of the world's deadliest snipers. He calls himself Deadshot, and is a crackshot with just about any firearm you can imagine. He may have started as a contract sniper, but he's spent more than enough time on Cadmus's "Task Force X" that I know he's capable of doing good as well. Someone with a sharp eye like his would be ideal as a lookout for operations."

"The Calculator..." Roy said, having moved on, "...the best hacker on the planet, or at least that's what he thinks of himself. His real name is Noah Kuttler, but don't let the ego fool you, Kuttler really is one of the best hackers out there. In fact it's a toss up whether he or Oracle is the best. Needless to say, having an "Oracle" of our own would be invaluable. That's assuming of course that Anarchy hasn't hired him first. But I know Kuttler's type, he won't want to stay in a cubicle for long. Sooner or later he'll want out, to be independent again. That's when we make our offer to him."

Since it became apparent that he ignored Cheshire, Roy finally said, "Leave Cheshire to me. She's an assassin, one of the best there is. I'll get in touch with her myself, besides... if I know her she won't want to talk with anyone besides me anyway."

@TheUnknowable

Sorry about the super long wait for my CS. A few things came up that pulled me away from the computer for a couple for days. Anyway, I'll have the CS done by the end of today. Like I said before, I'm planning for a slightly more mature and tested Damian Wayne. He'll still have his prideful and condescending attitude, but after Bruce seemingly rolling over for the baddy (even if he's pulling a whole double agent thing), he's become more of a Batman figure.


Sounds like he'll clash with Roy a little, as Arsenal has also become a Batman figure. Ah well... Batman, Green Arrow, Wild Cat, Red Hood, they're all practically the same when you get right down to it, anyway. ;)

And yeah, I would have posted already but I was waiting on Archmage. Can we assume he dropped out or lost interest at this point? Surely we can send Toon Girl off on a mission that she doesn't come back from or something.

Bam! Instant MeetingWords page.

Will it ever be compromised. Doubtful. I don't know enough people for something like that. Even so, I'm not bothered by trolls anyway.
So Taka is completely alone right now? That kinda sucks, doesn't it?

Anywho, with all these sudden enemies that I assume are meant to be boss encounters, methinks some collaboration may be in order for this to avoid becoming a clusterfuck. <_<
