Digimon: Digital Pets

Digimon: Digital Pets

Digimon have started emerging in the human world. They are all Baby 1/Fresh or Baby 2/In-Training level. Being seen as helpless, society decides to adopt these creatures. But disaster strikes when they start digivolving into Child/Rookie level and even Adult/Champion level, and begin rampaging through the human world. It's now up to you to figure out how to stop the destruction and violence.

In Character Info

Society is at unease with the Digimon, who they previously treated as pets, and angry mobs have taken up hunting down any Digimon they can find. You have a Digivice, a handheld device that aids you in digivolving your Digimon. You gained this device suddenly in a flash of light when you treated your Digimon companion as an intelligent creature and they evolved, not into a rampaging monster, but as a sapient creature. This Digivice, as your Digimon friend told you, will allow you to store your Digimon inside of it to hide them. You have decided to find a way to stop the violence and destruction being caused, and figuring out where the Digimon came from might be a good place to start.

Out of Character Info

The Digimon have been feeding on human energy, which is what's causing their fast evolution process. Human belief can alter a Digimon that feeds on their energy, enough to turn them into rampaging monsters instead of intelligent creatures like they should be. This began due to confusion at the initial digivolving making humans who witnessed it see the Digimon as bizarre and potentially unsafe, and as this belief persisted, it escalated into fear at the monsters they appeared to be.

Rules and Notes

• I expect you to post at least once a week, if not more.
• Please post your CS in the OOC tab first. If I approve it, you should then post it to the Character tab.
• Cursing is allowed, but be reasonable IC.
• Japanese names and terminology is allowed, but let's try to avoid confusion.
  • This will be justified in universe as language differences.
• This will need to be a collaborative effort on the plot, but I will have the greatest control as the GM. I am willing to take advice on the plot from everyone involved.
• If anyone wants to apply as a Co-GM, I would appreciate the help.
• Romance is allowed, whether straight, gay, etc, but please keep it SFW.
• You will control both a human and a Digimon character.
• Your Digimon doesn't need to follow official lines. It doesn't even necessarily need to look like a canon line. Yeah, normally Tamers have their Agumon digivolve into a Greymon, but the unique thing about Digimon is that the sky is basically the limit on what Digimon can turn into.
• You can use nearly any Digimon on wikimon.net, even those listed as "unreleased" if you don't make things too convoluted. That said, I may ask you to change to a different Digimon to not be as complicated if you have to make up too many details due to not much being known about them.
• Feedback is welcome.

Daniel Reap

Name: Daniel Reap.
Age: 19.
Physical Description: Down to chest length sandy blonde hair. Blue eyes. 5'6 height. Usually wears hair in a ponytail. Average fitness. Has a curly beard and mustache. Has a horizontal scar on the left side of his neck. Looks like a woman when he shaves his beard and mustache.
Important Items: Has a weird blue crystal that he found when he was 10. Has kept it on his person ever since, and believes it is good luck.
Short Bio: Got lost in a forest when he was 10. Doesn't remember what happened, but when he woke up, he had a scar on his neck, and was holding the blue crystal. He didn't think much of it, but decided to keep it anyways. Swears it glowed when a school bully tried to hit him and instead slipped in the mud. Has kept it on his person ever since believing it must be good luck.

When Digimon started popping up, he went to adopt one, when the crystal glowed brightly next to a Yuramon. The employee warned him against adopting this Digimon, claiming it was weak and sick, but the Yuramon looked fine to him, and if the crystal was vouching for her, that was good enough for him. Daniel believed Yuramon, who he named Saria, was intelligent, as he left her alone in his room with a video game paused on a level he was struggling to beat, and when he came back, Saria was holding the controller in her mouth and had beaten the level.

One day Saria digivolved into a Budmon, and talked to him. Daniel was certainly not expecting it, but knew she was smart already, and not a lot was known about Digimon. This acceptance he gave her caused her to glow brightly, and a strange handheld device appeared in her place. He frantically searched for Saria, when he heard her talking from the device, calling it a Digivice, and told him how to operate it. With a push of a button, he was able to bring Saria out of the Digivice with another glow.

Strangely, this glow seems very similar to the glow of the blue crystal, but he isn't quite sure why.
Personality: Believes he should be kind to others. Tries to help out when he can. Not much of a leader, but when he comes up with a plan, he makes sure it gets followed.
Skills: He is great at coming up with plans. Is very great at fighting with weapons.
Extra: When he was 10, he ended up in the digital world. He met a Tinkermon there, who got a piece of her Digicore cut off protecting Daniel (more on this in Saria's sheet). He thought she died, so as a defense mechanism, he blocked out the memory. The blue crystal he has is that piece of Tinkermon's Digicore.

Saria the Budmon

Name: Saria
Current Species: Budmon
Age: Since returning to a Digi-Egg and hatching again, she is only 4 years old.
Physical Description: She has a scar on her belly that persists in all forms. Occassionally glitches out for a moment, happening more frequently (but not too much) the farther from the blue crystal she is.
Type: Data.
Short Bio: Used to be a Virus type Tinkermon. She left the Petermon she had bonded with, because she was tired of being a bad Digimon. One day a human boy showed up in the digital world. She didn't like him calling her cute, so she cut him on the neck with a poisoned claw. Despite being paralyzed for a bit, he found her again, and again, and again. She started to appreciate not being alone though, and let him be.

Some time later, her Petermon found her. Jealous that she had a new boy, he went to attack the boy, but she took the blow instead. Petermon cut off a piece of her Digicore in the process. This would normally be a death sentence, but as Petermon gloated over her, the boy took her spear and stabbed the distracted Petermon in the back, causing the hallucinogenic poison to make Petermon flee the scene. Tinkermon was glad the boy would be okay, but was worried how he would handle her death, when she felt a warm energy coming from the boy. Suddenly, she felt herself returning to a Digi-Egg. 5 years later, she hatched, and found herself in the human world as a Yuramon. She does not remember much of her past life, but remembers the warm energy of the boy.

One day, a boy approached her. She thought he was going to leave her in this prison like all the other humans did, but a familiar crystal glowed on him. She felt better under that glow. He picked her up, and took her home with him, and gave her a name. Saria. And the boy was named Daniel. She didn't know why, but Daniel had the same warm energy she remembered.

As she stayed in his presence, she grew, until she digivolved into a Budmon. She found it possible to talk now. Saria was worried about how Daniel would respond to this, but he accepted her new form and ability to talk immediately. The warm energy surged in her, and suddenly, she was inside a device. Looking the data of the device over, she discovered it was a Digivice, and spoke to Daniel. After a moment, he released her from the device.

Now she feels compelled to help Daniel to the best of her ability, even if she isn't the healthiest Digimon.
Personality: Despite being timid and shy due to being sick and rejected so much, she is very protective and possessive of Daniel, and will do whatever she can to help him.
Powers: Acid Bubbles: Shoots off slightly acidic bubbles from her mouth.
Poisonous Thorns: Fires the thorns on her body which are painful to touch. Can control the thorns to not poison allies who accidentally touch them when interacting with her.
Evolutions: Yuramon (Baby 1/Fresh), Budmon (Baby 2/In-Training), Tinkermon (Child/Rookie), Hudiemon (Adult/Champion), Lilimon (Perfect/Ultimate), Bancho Lilimon (Ultimate/Mega), Rosemon: Burst Mode (as a Burst Mode), Rafflesimon (as a secret bonus)
Extra: Saria will be a unique Tinkermon in that she is Data instead of Virus type. She absorbs data and human energy slower than a normal Digimon due to her damaged Digicore, and digivolves slower as a result.

Digimon RP Ideas

Alright. That's enough players to start this up. I'm going to go work on the main post now.

Digimon RP Ideas

So I had a few ideas for Digimon roleplays, and was wondering if anyone was interested in any of them.

1: Digimon Survival. You end up in the digital world, and must survive until you can find a way out. You do not automatically get a Digimon partner, and must befriend a Digimon to gain one. You could also find a Digi-Egg and get your partner that way. Just befriending a Digimon doesn't guarantee they will be your partner though, as you have to form a mutually close bond with each other. The goal is to figure out who or what sent you here and why, so you can get back to the human world. For argument's sake, you can choose what you want your Digimon partner to be OOC, and sooner or later they'll end up as such.

2: Digimon Tamers 2.0. Not actually set in Digimon Tamers' world, but some version of the real world where Digimon somehow end up real, just like in Tamers. The world's rules aren't going to necessarily be the same as in Tamers, and this will follow its own storyline.

3: Digimon: Digital Pets. Digimon have started emerging in the human world. Nobody quite knows much about them, because they are all Baby 1 or at most Baby 2 level. Somehow, society decides to adopt these "helpless" creatures, but this leads to disaster, as now they have human energy to feed off of. It isn't long before they start digivolving into Child/Rookie level and even Adult/Champion level, and cause destruction.

You, however, don't just have a Digimon, you have a Digivice. It turns out that human belief can alter the Digimon, enough to actually turn them into monsters rampaging through society when the Digimon digivolves from human energy, but you recognized your Digimon as an intelligent creature, or maybe you just believed they were intelligent and since they fed on your energy, it became true. Now you have to navigate a delicate situation where Digimon are being hunted by humans while also figuring out how they got here in the first place so you can stop the destruction and violence.

Notes:

• I am willing to admit I don't have hard plot lines in mind for any of these. I'm willing to take advice on the plot from those that join. Heck, if anyone is willing, I'd even accept some Co-Gms.
• I don't mind cursing, but keep it reasonable IC. An 8 year old probably isn't going to curse much, even if they actually know the words somehow.
• I don't mind the original Japanese terminology, but make sure it isn't confusing. For example, in Japanese, Ultimate is Perfect level, and the Mega level is the Ultimate level. Unfortunately that's how things ended up, so it's probably best to specify which one you are talking about. We can even justify this as in universe language differences, so seriously, don't be afraid to use the original Japanese terms and names if that is more to your liking.
• You will control both a human and a Digimon character, but on the survival idea, you will have to wait to use your Digimon character until I give the okay, and even then, you won't have them as a partner right away, as previously stated.
• The Digital Pets idea is one I actually tried on a different site once before, but it didn't get far. If that is the idea people want, then I am definitely going to need to make it a more collaborative group effort on the plot to avoid the same fate.
• I'm willing to modify these ideas if people would prefer something similar but different. Like if you actually want to play a reboot of Digimon Tamers with the same world rules, then I'd be willing to consider that instead of it being a new version of our real world. Or maybe you'd want to play the survival idea but getting your Digimon partners sooner than later, which I'd also be willing to consider.
• Feedback is welcome. I'm old and mature enough to handle negative feedback if that is what you have. Can't get better if I don't know what I did wrong.

Advice wanted for someone (me) who is very out of practice.

@BrokenPromise

I see. Thank you again for the answer. You've been very helpful.

I have a new question. How exactly do you get Co-Gm's? There is probably a very obvious answer, but I've never rp'd on a site that is solely dedicated to roleplay, so I've never even seen the concept of Co-Gm's. Do you just say you're looking for one in the interest thread, or should you find one on the discord, or is there something else that should be done?

@BrokenPromise

Thank you for answering. I've always been bad at depicting my characters through artwork, but back when I used to roleplay in the past, I had an actual computer (er laptop) to edit images in the Paint app thingy if I found something close enough but wrong colors.

Now though, I just have my phone, and I don't have the money to test random editing apps that cost money, and unfortunately, the free stuff is much harder to work with than even that basic computer Paint app was, and I'm already bad enough at making images.

So I was just worried I wouldn't get anywhere here, but you've reassured me that I can just describe my character and probably get accepted. Thank you again.

As for the character interest, I guess I could try 1x1. I used to mostly do that back in the day, since it gave me more control, but nowadays, I tend to enjoy group projects more.

Maybe I should just accept that it is going to be awhile before they get accepted and actually try applying to roleplays with my character.

Thank you again for answering my questions.

Not sure if this is the right place, but some things I was wondering.

1: Do I need an image for my characters? I'm struggling to find an image that even looks like me. I know I should branch out and not just play myself, so don't worry about that, I was just trying myself as a sort of test character, and I just completely failed at finding a character that looks like me. I'm not exactly stereotypical though. Without my beard and mustache, I look like a woman, because I am short, and have a very feminine face, plus long hair that I almost always put in a ponytail. But I DO have the beard and mustache, which makes it harder to search for.

2: What if instead of finding interest for a roleplay, I try to find interest for a specific character instead? Would that be allowed? For example, I have a character for a potential Digimon setting, but they have a bit of a "main character" feel to them. I don't actually necessarily want them to be the main character, but I can understand the character might be a turn off for some, so rather than waste people's time constantly trying to get the character approved for a game, I try to just advertise the character in general, and see if anyone feels like they'd fit in their setting.

2 (continued): I know what you might be thinking "Why not just make your own roleplay?" and the answer is simply, I do not have even an inkling of an idea for a main plot in the Digimon setting. I barely have the general plot of my character down.

I'm sorry if this is the wrong place for this. I wasn't sure where to post this. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Reksew here.

Hello, I'm ReksewTrebla. If you are curious about the name, it is Albert Wesker backwards. I used to be a big Resident Evil fan, and one day I started using some variation of this as my username, and have been at it since.

I'm not exactly new to rp, but it has been over a decade since I last really participated in it, so I am way out of practice.

I like group rps, but can work with 1x1 as well. I like a lot of things, including things such as Digimon, Pokémon, and Yu-Gi-Oh!

I'm not really sure what to say here, so I'll just say I hope to have fun here.
