Digimon Hackers: Jormungundr

Kotoki Tanaka

Oh, so she's that type of hacker.

What she was referring to here was the kind of hacker that would have their Digimon out even outside of battle. And usually, these types were the kind of sops who would "befriend" their Digimon, as if they weren't just a bunch of hacking programs.

Both clearly applied to the girl in front of her.

"I see. So those are your Digimon," she interrupted their chat. "I prefer not to show mine, unfortunately," she added, before the girl had a chance to ask her about the subject. "Keep your cards close to your chest and all that."

"Unless, of course, you'd be up for a little spar," she added with a tiny smirk, crossing her arms. "That way, I could evaluate your Digimon's abilities, while you can do the same with mine. Fair that way, right?"

As usual, she was quite confident about her Digimon battling capabilities. What her Digimon lacked in strength, she would substitute with her brains.

One by one, more and more people manifested into the cathedral.

More recruits for Jormungundr. They really needed this many?

...Can't help but notice how there's only one guy though. Guess the old stereotype about computer geeks being only males isn't true anymore.

And then, their hosts finally arrived.

And they were nothing like she had imagined.

W-wait, those two... they're Digimon, right? Not just some little girls cosplaying, right?

Wait, why would Digimons be the ones recruiting us? I don't know which one's stranger. They being Digimons or they being actual human little girls...

Oh nevermind, they just mentioned this Manaka person. So she must be the one that's actually running things...

She walked up to them and asked, "So this Manaka... she's the one recruiting for Jormungundr? And you're her Digimon, right?"

Kotoki Tanaka

Hmm? Another one?

Kotoki noticed Harumi teleporting into the cathedral. Now her assumption was proven. She wasn't the only one being invited today.

Or... she could actually be with Jormungundr.

To assess the situation, she sat up and walked over to her.

"Hello." She greeted her with a blank expression on her face. "Are you... invited as well?"

"My name is Rikako. Tanaka Rikako. And you?" She offered her hand.

A false name, of course. Why would she use her real one to a stranger she just met online?

Digimon Hackers: Jormungundr

Kotoki Tanaka

When the message arrived, Kotoki Tanata was quite naturally taken aback.

More than that ever. For the first in a long time, she felt afraid. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt like a rock just landed in her stomach.

Afraid for how this... mysterious person could know her real identity. The identity that she always guarded closely. She would always do her hacking through many layers of data encryption and VPNs, so that her IP could never be tracked back to her.

And yet, here she was, receiving a message that clearly demonstrated how the sender knew her real name and her alias as the Duchess.

Luckily enough, she received it at night while she was in her bed, so she could panic freely without attracting attention to her.

But then the message declared itself to come from a member of Jormungundr. She very well knew who they were. One of the top hacking groups, before a power struggle brought them down.

And then, the message told them that they were interested in her and her abilities, and that she should go to a certain cyber cafe if she was interested in them as well.

Hmph, so this was a recruiting message. How nice of them to not use my identity for blackmail.

Obviously, I would have to go. I'm also curious about them as well. Not to mention they have the knowledge of my identity. Just ignoring it would be unwise.

I thought they have disbanded already. How curious.

And obviously I would have to up my security now. What a bother. Though I suppose I would have to thank them for exposing my security vulnerability.

She swallowed her pride. As much as she disliked it, she had to admit, they got her this time.

She fell asleep in a bad mood that night.

---

The next day, she departed to the cafe as the message instructed.

As a computer geek, she was familiar with Akiba, though she didn't really frequent the area that often. She would only come to buy parts and components she needed for her workstation. She wasn't into those "maid cafe" nonsense. And she wasn't an anime enthusiast as well. She believed most of them were just a giant waste of time. She rarely turned on her TV these days even, as she got her news all online.

She made a beeline to the cafe, having gotten the address from a simple web search. Once there, she entered the front door, though not before giving a short lookaround on her surroundings.

Hmm, no one else is coming? I guess I'm the only one. Or I might be the first. Or the last. The message didn't say the time so I suppose you could just come at midnight if you want. Not sure if this place would be open at that time though.

Once inside, she was greeted by a boy, whom she correctly assumed was the patron of the establishment. Was he a member of Jormungundr? Or was he a simple innocent bystander, not really knowing what the place he was working in was being used for.

And then, he told her that she had received a free session from a "mysterious patron". Now she knew that she was taking orders from them.

She didn't bother asking questions however. She knew he would just dismiss them. No, she had to talk with the big boss themselves to gain any clarity in the matter.

She entered one of the reserved booths. Taking a seat, putting on the VR device, shifting a little to make sure her body was in a comfortable pose on the chair, she then entered her login and password into the EDEN interface.

And with that, her consciousness was transcoded digitally to the virtual world.

---

Nothing out of the ordinary...

EDEN looked just like its usual self, with all sorts of people walking around, from businessmen to schoolgirls. She didn't waste any time in the lobby. She immediately entered the URL that had given to her.

And then, she manifested inside what seemed to be a cathedral of sorts.

Empty?

She looked around. It seemed she was the first to arrive.

No signs of anyone else here... Not even our dear host...

She took a seat on one of the benches. With a huff and a grump, she waited.

Putting down my tentative interest.

Digimon Hackers: Jormungundr

Kotoki Tanaka

Hacker

Name: Kotoki Tanaka

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Apperance:


Personality:
A bossy and demanding girl, she's easily bored by the mundane, always asking for more interesting challenges to be thrown at her. She's extremely confident at both her hacking skills and her Digimon battling, though for the latter, if she lost, she would put all the blame on her Digimon for being weak. Her commanding expertise is perfect after all. And if she ever failed on the former, it would annoy her so much she would lose sleep over it.

Bio:
She had always been a computer geek ever since she was little. Introduced to it by her programmer father, it was soon clear that she had talent in the field, and with the aid of said father, she learned everything you need to learn about coding and computers in a much earlier age than normal.

She would’ve remained a normal computer geek, if not for the day where her father’s bank account got hacked, draining all the funds in it.

When he just waited for the cops and banks to somehow recover the lost money, she instead went into action, tracking said hacker through the internet. She started to venture into “black” sites where other hackers shared their knowledge, and from them, she learned. And with that knowledge, she eventually managed to track down the thief and where they were. She gave the info anonymously to the authorities.

The thief confessed on their guilt. However, she was too late. Her family’s money was already spent.

She cursed herself. If only she were faster, if only she was more skilled at tracking them down…

Ever since then, she became a so-called “hacker of justice”. She would help hunt other hackers who would misuse their skills for evil. The more she hunted, the more she realized that she enjoyed the challenge. She then would not stop at hackers. She would steal info from corrupt businesses and politicians and release it to the web. All done anonymously under the moniker “The Blue Duchess.” And so far, she hadn’t been caught yet. None of the police’s lapdogs and private investigators had sniffed her close enough to spook her to leave the hacking world forever.

Naturally, she learned of the existence of Digimon from that world as well. She now had two of them helping her, though she still thought of them as mere programs over actual living digital lifeforms.

And so when the letter arrived, she readily accepted, knowing how famous Jormungundr was, and how it was supposedly the den for top tier hackers. As long as they do their hacking for good, she’s in.

Though she had to wonder, did they really manage to track her real identity down?

As expected from a top class hacker, she thought.

It certainly worried her as well. And annoyed her at the same time, as she felt she had lost to them. However, the fact that they had not dangled the fact as blackmail for her to join them meant that they might not be evil hackers, who would expose her identity for a handsome sum of money.

With that reasoning, she gave her reply.

Alright. Just thinking that I'm going to use it for my character's backstory.

Digimon Hackers: Jormungundr

How about the EDEN syndrome? is that going to be a thing in this RP?

Wind Riders: Heroes of the Etheric Sea

Like the others, Tanya also contacted her SADI once she arrived back at her room. With an unenthusiastic voice, as she threw herself on her bed, she spoke, "Sadi, tell me about the mission please."

As she had feared, there were really no interesting details. Maybe the unidentified ships, but that's nowhere near her assigned coordinate.

Aah, what a chore… I don't want to go now...

Eventually however, she relented, though not without a groan, throwing off the blanket that had covered her body.

Alright, alright, I'll go. I'll be screwed if I get fired from this job...

She walked over to the hangar, where her ship would be waiting for her.

---

---

The ship was a small one. A tiny one, to be exact, a tight fit for one single pilot. In that respect, and its shape, it beared a good resemblance to a fighter plane. It even had a similar stealth capability, though a fighter jet could certainly not transform into a small mechsuit like it could.

After checking in with the engineers, she was given the clear to go. She climbed up the ship, slid down the cockpit, and grabbed the joystick inbetween her legs, allowing it to bioscan her handprints.

"Identity confirmed. Welcome back, Miss Tanya."

The safety belts immediately wrapped themselves around her body on their own.

"Check all processes," she ordered.

"All functions operate at 100%. Fuel is also at 100%," the voice replied mechanically, turning on the displays on the ceiling.

Smiling, she pressed the launch button, causing the ship to activate its burners, lifting it up to the air. And with a simple push, it accelerated forward, leaving the hangar in one smooth move.

And of course, once outside, she engaged the warp drive, setting in the coordinate for her destination.

The "kick" was unpleasant as usual, with her body being pulled backwards when the jump happened, and when her body was pulled forward when the jump ended. The latter hurt the most since the seatbelts would dig into her skin, not to mention her crotch being pressed into the joystick as well.

Such was the lament of the owner of a cheap ship. No proper momentum adjustor onboard.

---

---

She landed on the designated planet immediately. A colony of magicite miners, according to her information. Not a wild, uninhabited planet, to her dissapointment.

Her landing was smooth as well. She jumped out of the cockpit on her own, and then she announced to the greeting party that she was with the Wind Riders.

Shonen RP Survey

Isekai RP is useless with a group since the whole point of the genre is to become the most overpowered fucker in the setting.
