Digimon: After the Convergence

@Martian "I love books and poetry" *Partners with a literal tank* Love it. Accepted.

@Crimson Flame "Seems fairly well adjusted at first, but is a hot fucking wreck inside" Are you sure this isn't a lost Tamers character? Accepted.

@Renny Yet another steaming mess of problems for the crew. But considering his Mega form, that's going to raise a LOT of alarms when he finally does go Mega for the first time. Approved.

@BladeSS4 Only problem with this is that, ATLAS' memory-wipe program would have also included them fixing any and all damage his digimon did so that he didn't ask questions post-wipe. The other thing is that Craniamon is another one that will be on the list of digimon that will make the entire Board of Directors show Visible Concern. But i am not against it. Approved

Digimon: After the Convergence

Sorry for lack of activity on my end, lots of IRL drama, I will get to reviewing character sheets ASAP.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Duthguy A simple guy with a love of his little Kendo-weilding partner. Approved.

Digimon: After the Convergence

Sorry about not saying anything the last few days, been rather busy.

@Hammerman So, is your first post going to be her meeting her partner? That's perfectly good, i just want to make sure of where everyone is at the start of the RP.

@Renny I appreciate the idea behind Aegiomon being his partner, but at the same time, one of the things i was going to add to the original post that, being that you are working for an organization, one of the things that will be limiting your characters are permissions. Essentially, each mission will limit you to specific levels of Digivolution, this does mean that you can have access to Ultimate or Mega from the start, but without permission from the higher-ups, digivolving will be penalized. Naturally, you are a secret service and he directors appreciate that maybe dropping a 30ft firebreathing T-Rex in the middle of the situation might not be the most subtle approach. That being said, if he wants to maintain Champion when around the base, that's fine. Just note that unless he gets permission, then out in the field, he will be limited to Elecmon.

Sorry if this screws with your plans, but it's the best way i can think of to allow the Veteran characters and Recruit characters serve on the same team with the same power balancing.

The only other problem i see is the "Obsidian Digizoid Katana" Which i appreciate the sentiment and the rule of cool, but, without spoiling anything, the existance of an ATLAS agent with a Digizoid sword is a direct contradiction to one of the main plots I had in mind for this. Sorry if this seems to have shat all over your character proposition. The core of your character is solid, but there's a few little things that need addressing.

@Duthguy Looking good so far.

@Double Love the character. It'll be nice to have the guy sat at the back wearing the distinctive badge

OOC is up Feel free to ask questions there. Also, do people want me to make a Discord page for this?

Digimon: After the Convergence

Digimon used to be creatures of urban myth and legend, those shadows you see in the corner of your computer screen, when your computer monitor starts going fuzzy, that was supposed to be them, the little monsters in the Internet, I mean... If I walked up to you and said "Hey, there're tiny little monsters living in your computer." you'd say I was nuts. Well, 11 years ago, the Internet went nuts with rumours that were quickly squashed by the Japanese government. Rumours that those creatures were real and that Godzilla could come crawling out of your computer at any moment without warning. It was around this time that pictures surfaced of mysterious vans with "A.D.C.U." Popped up everywhere. No liscence plates, no other markings, most of them were deleted shortly afterwards and any mention of them was quickly scrubbed from blogs and social media and everywhere other than the deepest depths of the web.

Shortly after Youtube calmed down with the natural reaction of a "A.D.C.U. paranoid conspiracy phase" new video's, the big news was an EMP going off in the middle of Tokyo, the Highton View Terrace area went dark for almost 10 hours as, supposedly, planes fell out of the sky and crashed. The area was coordoned off and it became the new big paranoid conspiracy. However, the A.D.C.U. meme was reignited when what was clearly a fake movie trailer or something along those lines hit the various social media and video sharing sites of a Giant Lion attacking one of those vans. It was condemned as "Poor Taste" as the footage clearly showed this taking place in Highton View Terrace at the same time as the disaster. But as usual, sanity prevailed and "Someone taking advantage of human suffering with a hoax video" seemed far more plausable to the majority than there actually being computer monsters fighting a shady government agency. Of course, the internet didn't give up that easily, but the tin foil hat society is one that endures so long as some information remains classified.

So, this is all quite interesting but the big question is "Where do i come into all of this?" Well, the answer is quite simple. You may have been out and about when your phone started acting up, you might have been sat at home watching anime when the TV started to freak, you may have been at alone at the arcade when suddenly every machine turned off but one... In any case, you have just found yourself face to face with something friendly, sarcastic, cute, iconic or some combination of those.

In any case, you have just found yourself with a friend that you will find yourself following and leading it to hell and back. Shortly afterwards, you find yourself being approached by someone dressed as what could best be described as Thunderbirds Reject who will question you about you about your new partner. Try to run or fight and you'll find that they also have an Ally of the same kind and he is FAR more experienced than you. In any case, you are going back to HQ with them where you will find out about ATLAS. An orginization secretly sanctioned by United Nations that operate at the highest levels of discretion. You are then given a choice:

1) Memory wipe. You wake up in your bed, believing whatever you want to believe and you will never see, hear from, or have any kind of contact with ATLAS or these weird little monsters ever again.
2) You sign a non-disclosure form, you are given the tour and congratulations, you are now a member of ATLAS, your mission, to find others that have bonded with Digimon and bring them in or wipe their memories. You can still live your normal life, but you must let NOBODY know about your new friend or ATLAS and whenever your new device goes off, you drop whatever you are doing and report for duty.

So, what's your choice?

So, how does Digivolution progression work?

So after wracking my brain to help balance the power in this, i've decided that this is how Digivolution works:

Everyone has access to at least Champion from the start, but it makes little sense that a fresh-faced recruit will reach the ability to reach Ultimate at the same time as the 10 year veteran. So, you can have whatever level of digivolution you like from the start. However, you will be working for an organization who are trying to keep a low profile and sometimes, dropping a 100ft tall Robot Dino-Dragon in the middle of a crowded city is not the best way to deal with a couple of Goblimon on the loose. So, before you Digivolve, you need to wait for the mission leader to give you permission.

Example:
*We got a runner with his Digimon partner, let's not escalate the situation to dangerous levels, keep them at Rookie.
*Ogremon and Leomon are fighting and are getting close to a public place where they might be seen? Champions can handle that.
*ShogunGekomon and his Gekomon army have taken over the local resevoir? Champions might be able to handle it, but not before somebody notices, Ultimate level approved.
*Diaboromon has clawed his way out of the deepest darkest dredges of the internet, hellbent on firing every nuke in the world? Nah, fuck that noise, Mega approved.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Double Nice to see you again.
@Duthguy Got any idea for character or Digimon Partner?

In any case, one more interest and i'll get an OOC going.

Digimon: After the Convergence

@Martian Frankly, i've been in a Digimon mood for the last few months, but since nobody else wanted to make something, i decided to run my own. Got an idea for a character/partner?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

So, obviously, this is a Digimon RP. It's a continuation of a very long running one i started over a decade ago, but have since fallen out of touch with the old RP party but still want to run. But don't worry, there is no need for prior knowledge of the world before jumping into this as it's not important. Think of this more like any other RP that has backstory that you're not privy to. Sure, it'll play play into the story, but everything you need to know will be explained as and when you need it to be. Think of it like Data Squad inspired.

You can be a fresh-faced shonen-style teenage who's first post will be to come face to face with your new best friend or you can be a grumpy old git that, many years ago, bonded with an equally grumpy Digimon and decided to kick some ass before you kick the bucket. Character Creation is completely open to whatever you want to build. The only pre-requisite is that you accept that this is going to be a Team-based game and that lone-wolfing it may not be the best idea for interactive purposes.

Naturally, this is an Interest Check, so that's about all you need to get a feel for it, if i left anything out, do feel free to ask.

Ambition 2.0. (Massive Crossover Superhero Sandbox)

Green Lantern

Oa, the great home of the Green Lantern corps, the police of the entire universe. Hal Jordan had recently arrived as the brand new recruit to the Corps, along with his mentor Sinestro, a fellow Green Lantern. The pair of them stood before the Guardians of the Universe, diminuitive blue people with white hair that floated in the air. They wore red robes with the Green Lantern logo in the center. The one known as Ganthet floated to the front. The Guardians were known for their holier-than-thou attitude, but Ganthet was known for his more gentle and nurturing approach to the Lanterns. "Sinestro, it is with great pain that we finally accept the death of Abin Sur into the annals of the Oan Great Archive. But as with all Lanterns, a new light shall rise to take his place and bring light to dark. Step forward, Hal Jordan of Sector 2814." Called the central Guardian. Hal stepped forward, bringing his hand up. "Speak the oath and join our ranks."

"In brightest day, in blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's light,
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!" He called.

The immense green battery behind the Guardians began to glow and Hal was engulfed by a beam of light. "Feel honoured, Hal Jordan. Your gift shall give you the power to save countless. You shall bring law to the lawless, dethrone tyrants and you shall bring peace." The Guardian Called. Hal looked around. Of course he knew this place very well, he had spent several months here training under the tutelage of Sinestro, but also, his best friend that he could NEVER imagine his life without, the large Bolovaxian chief Green Lantern Cadet trainer, Killawog. Bolovaxians were large, bipedal creatures, a deep pink skin, very large and intimidating and with a face that looked somewhere between a Hippopotamus and a Pug. "You shall receive your first orders as a full fledge member of our order soon. Please, take some time to celebrate" Gathet ordered. As Hal turned back to the Guardians, he looked saw that Ganthet's clothes had changed. The red robe had been replaced by a Red Trenchcoat and a blue tie that adorned a new symbol, very different to Green symbol he was familiar with. "Hal... This isn't real..." He whispered. His voice was different, almost taking an Indian accent to it. "Have hope and you shall escape." He nodded.

"What did you say?" Asked Hal. As he blinked, Ganthet was back to normal.

"I said to go and celebrate with your friends. I shall join you shortly." He smiled. Hal shook his head. That was weird, but probably just some residual effect from the Grand Battery zapping him. He walked with Sinestro and Killawog.

"I say we grab Tomar, head down to Bolovax and i'm gonna treat both-a-ya's to da best and MEANEST drinks that ever crawled outta the gutters of the most deadly bars in the universe. Then, after a stomach pump, we go for round 2." Killawog laughed. Tomar appeared as if from no-where next to Hal. Tomar was a goldish orange coloured alien with a large fin on his head and a chicken-like beak, with a fairly skinny body. Tomar had been the very first friend that Hal had made here, but Tomar's friendly demenor made him one of the most well-liked of all of the Green Lanterns. No wonder it was his duty to greet all new recruits.

"It has been quite some time since i have gone drinking with you, Killawog, and that's because i think i've just about gotten over the hangover from the last time." Tomar stated, he spoke eloquently and to the point. He turned to Hal, his costume, changing to blue, with the symbol again appearing. "Hal, she can only hold you here if you want to be held." Tomar said.

"Tell me how to escape" Hal asked.

"Escape?" Tomar replied, his costume being back to normal. "The only escape from one of Killawogs drinking sessions is to animate your own liver and beg it to wave the little white flag." He smiled.

"And there is NO escaping for our bet." Sinestro replied. "I said that if you passed, your final test would be to drink Killawog under the table. I do not envy your stomach or head in the morning... Or the entire rest of your body to think of it."

"And who pulled the stick out of your butt?" Hal laughed, Tomar and Ganthets words of warning slipping away from him almost instantly.

Sinestro

Sinestro and John sat staring at the computer, waiting to see if the Indigo energy would dissipate. "Are you sure there is nothing better that you can do?" John asked.

"Not unless you know how how to track her." Sinestro stated, not moving. "I'm just as worried about him as you are."

"Yeah, but are you as worried about him as you are that ring on his hand?" John asked. Sinestro didn't move. "You've known him for all of a week, i've been looking after that kid, on the streets, for 7 years. So, i highly doubt you are as worried about him as you are about that ring."

"I understand that you are still holding out some delusions that being angry will allow you to become the Red Ring's champion, so i will let that obviously inflammatory statement die here and now, but do not repeat it. If i cared only for the ring, i would not have invited him to live with me." John kept his eyes narrowed on the alien.

"Nuts to this, i'm going to track him down the old fashioned way." John turned around and walked to the door. "You coming?" He asked. Sinestro said nothing and didn't move. John sighed, before walking out of the house. As he got upstairs, he noticed that the house was relatively fixed. "What the hell..." Nothing would indicate that, just an hour before, a possessed, superpowered social worker had torn this place to hell. He walked out of the door and to his car, opening the door and getting in, he sat, before putting his head on the steering wheel and thinking. He turned the keys and the car roared to life, before he began to drive. No particular place, just driving, trying to think of anything that he knew about her and where she might be able to keep a bunch of children without anyone getting suspicious.

"Help..." A voice came to John, he looked around.

"What the hell?" He asked. He suddenly felt a twinge of something.

"Help, John Stewart..." It wasn't Hal's voice. But there was something familiar. He immediately turned the car around and put on the lights and sirens.

The Green Lantern

Hal and the other Green Lanterns sat down at the bar, it had been a surprisingly quick trip to Bolovaxia. Immediately, Carol Ferris approached him. "So, stud, what'll it be tonight?" She asked in a sultry voice that... Well, didn't really belong on her.

"Uh-" Before Hal could answer. Sinestro leaned over.

"a round of Badoonian Louse-Spit." He ordered. As Carol turned and walked away, Hal couldn't help but get the feeling that... Something was off... Maybe something Tomar had said... Probably nothing. He watched Carol walk over to the Bartender, another friend of his, Jon Stewart. That guy had been a loyal friend helping him get through boot-camp. Stewart shot him a pair of thumbs-up and a wink, before calling to him.

"HOLD ON HAL, I'M ON MY WAY!" Hal managed to make out over the loud music and aliens talking and dancing. The lights seemed to be changing around here. Blue... Indigo... Blue... Indigo... It was as if the lights were wrestling with one another. Hal got up.

"I'm gonna check what's on the Juke-box." He walked through the crowd, aliens all around him were having a good time. As he approached it, he saw a list of songs.

I Want To Break Free by Queen
Escape by Rupert Holmes
We Gotta Get Out of This Place by The Animals
Getaway by Earth, Wind & Fire
Breakout by The Foo-Fighters
You Got To Run by Buffy Sainte-Marie & Tanya Tagaq
Freedom by Pharrel Williams
Fly Away From Here by Aerosmith
Rescue Me by Fontella Bass

Something was... No, every time he thought that, something happened and he stopped thinking about it. He looked around. Suddenly he was in Carol's arms as they were slowly dancing on the floor to the sounds of If You Leave Me Now by Chicago. Hal looked around at the others, Sinestro, Killawog and Tomar were all giving him a thumbs up. "I... Can't stay here..." Hal sighed.

"Of course you can." Carol said. "Here, you have everything you've ever wanted. You have Sinestro and Killawog and Tomar and Jon... And you have a family. Most importantly, you have me..." As she said that, her waitress outfit changed to a slinky, pink satin dress covered entirely sequins. "You have absolutely EVERYTHING that you have ever wanted. So, why not stay?" Hal looked at her, she was so beautiful. He let a tear roll down his cheek.

"Because... I know it's not real." He stiffled back any more tears. "But... Let's finish this song. It's a dream i don't want to forget anytime soon. I'm gonna make this into a reality." He said, his ring beginning to glow brightly. As the song faded away, Carols mouth opened as Indigo energy poured from it, trying to engulf him. But Jon appeared in front of him, along with Ganthet and Tomar, they were all dressed in the blue outfit.

"Green Lantern Hal... All will be well, Hal. Just speak the oath..." Everything seemed much clearer now. Hal raised his hand up.

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!"

The world erupted in green light and then...

Hal awoke, wrapped in the Indigo light, he was in his Green Lantern outfit. He grinned as he brought the ring up, a green buzz-saw appearing and cutting through the Indigo cocoon. He poked his head through to see they were in a warehouse. 10 other cocoons were in a circle around Holly who was in the center, meditating. Hal floated up silently and slowly moved towards her. If he could get the ring, then he could end this now. As he approached the ring, suddenly, her eyes opened and she smiled at him.

"Abin, yi fostew li mesta." She said. Hal floated backwards as she stepped out of the circle, following him, but leaving the children.

"Heh, stupid move!" Hal grinned. He could now go all out without having to worry about the kids caught in the crossfire. A pair of huge, green gatlings appeared on his shoulders as he flew to the side of her and opened fire. she raised an barrier of indigo, but the barrage of green was relentless. He charged in, the Gatlings morphing into a pair on the side of a monster truck that charged at her, smashing straight through the indigo shield, he smashed straight through the walls of the warehouse with her on the bonnet. As ehty got outside, Hal could hear the pounding rain on the outside of the construct, the skies almost black from the rainclouds. The Monster-truck turned into a tank with her on the end of the gun, it fired, sending her propelling away at immense speeds and creating a visible shockwave in the rain from the recoil force. Hal burst out of the tank and followed her, she finally regained composure, staring at him, she waved her staff around her head and an immense whale appeared, lunging for Hal. Hal, in response, created the giant gorilla form around himself, grappling the whale, he threw himself over it, using the momentum to fly high enough to get next to Holly, before the Gorilla swung its fists around in a double-axe-handle blow to her, she tried to block with the shield, but again, it was shattered and she was sent spiralling down to the floor. Hal descended through the sky to the empty parking lot, just outside of the warehouse. "Alright, Holly. Just give up the ring, nice and easy."

She opened her eyes and tried to fly, but he quickly snapped a large ball and chain around her ankles, then another to wrists, she struggled in her bonds as Hal moved around to her hands to grab the Ring. As he did, the constructs disappeared, as did Hal's costume. He looked down at himself. "Oh no, not again." He paniced as he looked at her, his clothes almost instantly soaking through as he felt the biting cold. She raised up again, smiling as the alien women appeared around him. "I'M NOT GOING BACK THERE!!!" Hal screamed as he rushed forwards and tried to tackle her, only to be caught in the constructs arms and he fell asleep again. She smiled as she looked down at Hal's sleeping form, before hearing the screeching of tires. She looked around to see Johns cruiser speeding towards her, she quickly had the constructs carry Hal out of the way, before waving the ring and an elephants foot stamped down on the front of the car, crushing the engine and bringing it to an instant halt. She turned back to Hal, only to hear the sound of the door of the car fall off. She turned around again, to see John stumbling out of the car.

"I'VE GOT YOU NOW!!!" John shouted, the rain loud enough to almost drown out his threat. He pulled his gun. "I'm not going to stop hunting you... I'm never going to give up." He said. Holly stared at him before approaching, he pulled the trigger, she easily deflected the bullet. At that point, a Blue light flashed. John and Holly looked around to see Hal and the constructs gone. John took this opportunity to rush and tackle Holly to the soaked ground, splashing on the concrete, he tried desperately to get the ring off of her finger, but she was stronger and not nursing a concussion, getting the upper hand. As she just began to point the ring at John, Hal landed on her in a groggy state, grabbing ahold of her hair and pulling it as John wrenched the ring off of her finger. Holly fell unconscious as well. The pair of them rolled over and lay, painting heavily as the sky pelted their faces with raindrops. "You... Doing good, Hal?" He asked.

"Yup..." He sighed. "Had her on the ropes... Then the ring... ran out of... Juice..." He panted heavily. The indigo ring began to raise into the air. "Aw damn..." Hal grunted. This meant that they would have to do this again later. But for the moment, he was content with just laying and regaining his strength. The Ring looked at John, "Oh... Hot... Damn..." He grunted. "John... Can you run?" He asked. "Because... Give it a... Minute... I think you're... Gonna kidnap me..." He gasped, trying to shift himself to roll over. As the Ring moved towards John, a blue ring of energy appeared around the ring. "Uh oh..." Hal sighed. He rolled over to see where the ball was being generated from, only to see a glowing blue light. He could also see a strange outline, like a man with an elephants head. "What in the..." He sighed. The Indigo ring floated towards the elephant man.

"Excellent." The voice said. "I will keep this safe. Thank you for your help, Green Lantern." The accent was strange, an eastern accent could be heard in it. The rain and the glow of the light made making out faces difficult, but not impossible. He could see tusks, but apart from that, he couldn't see much else. He watched the elephant man take to the skies and fly away Hal watched a gold light approach as he slowly slipped back into unconsciousness.
