Digimon: Let's Kick It Up! (Closed)

Rick jumped to the side when the giant Kamen Rider dropped beside him, and didn't register that the bug-man also spoke.

Just as the dragon creature lunged (Rick holding up his arms to try and shield himself somehow), it got shoved to the side by some other monster entering the building and charging!

Goblimon looked to Rick, "Alright, now's our chance! Stingmon struck out, now watch me show 'em how it's done!" With that, the squat digimon hopped up on some of the ruined brick, hopped and kicked off the nearby wall, launching himself at the dragon! "Come at me, mon!" Landing on the dragon's snout, his clubbing arm suddenly moved at super speed as he cried, "Goburi Rush!"

The struggle between the dragon and the dino continued, seemingly ignoring Goblimon, but still forcing him to jump back. Mid air, he called out another attack, "Goblin Strike!" A fireball formed in front of Goblimon, who readied his club, and swung for the proverbial fence, knocking the fireball into the dragon's eye!

Landing on his feet at Rick's side, he hopped up and down, "Yeah! Woo! Say 'uncle', sky-noodle! XD"

Rick was beside himself, and didn't know what to do. "Uh, Should you really be taunting them, like that? I don't think they even noticed, and if you ask me, that's a good thing! Let's get out of here before one of them wins, and remembers we're still here!"

"What!? Are you kidding me? We've got 'em on the ropes!"

Just then, Rick noticed the young woman, cradling a giant caterpillar! For just a moment, everything slowed down, woah... She's so cool! He hoped he wasn't blushing, and suddenly wanted to be less of a chicken. "-H-hey, Goblimon, maybe if we do something really cool, it'll impress that girl- I-I mean, put a stop to that fight? Any ideas?"

Goblimon got starry eyed, and said, "That's the spirit! If you help me digivolve, they won't stand a chance!" with a sudden swing, he pointed the club at the digivice in Rick's hand, "That's your digivice; push the button and call out 'Digivolve'!" He hesitated, but Goblimon encouraged him, "Come on, it's just like before; we gotta take the leap!"

A glance at the girl, and he stood up straight, with a determined look on his face. He held out the device, and confidently shouted as he pressed the button, "DIGIVOLVE!"

@RickyG85

Alright, I don't know what's going on, but would it help if I padded out my post more, and got into some action?

Rick almost jumped out of his shows, and started running, finally realizing that the little green man was hanging on like a backpack as he ran. "Waaagh! Get of of me, what do you want!?"

"Woah! Hey, slow down, will ya? I may not know the human world so well, but I've got a hunch your destination isn't going anywhere!"

He turned a corner or two, still panicking a little before he stopped, and crouched, like he was trying to curl into a ball, with his arms covering his head. "P-please... Just don't hit me..."

"Hey, come on, Rick! If I wanted to hurt ya, don't ya think I'd have done it by now?" Goblimon hopped off of his shoulders, and tried to get a peak at the human boys' face. "Oh man, are you cryin'? And I thought I was happiest to see you!"

"Sniff... I'm not crying... I got dust in my eyes when we were jumping down the buildings..." He got a hold of himself, and rubbed at his eyes as he calmed down. "Sniff- So... You're not going to hurt me?" Rick paused, and arched an eyebrow, "Hey, how'd you know my name?"

"Come on, buddy! What kind of question is that? I'm Goblimon, and I'm here to back you up, rain or shine! Or fog, too, I guess." He proudly raised up the egg in offering, "I even managed to find your digimental! We can kick all kinds of butt, with this! I mean, once we figure out how it works... But who cares!? Let's celebrate with a good fight!"

Rick jumped back, "What!?"

"Huh? Oh, haha, not each other, we're partners!-" Just then, a shadow flew across the sky, that resembled a dragon! "OOH! Let's fight that guy!"

Before Rick even had a chance to question the egg or the device in his hands, he was being pulled along by this "Goblimon" character, who was apparently much stronger than he looked, in pursuit of some other weird monster.

Ok, now I'm pushed into full on "sign me up" just for knowing all that about Neanderthals.

I never meant to make the claim that full sign language was realistic/accurate, that was very poorly communicated on my part; I was referring to speech aided by gesticulating, not proper sign language specifically. So, my bad, I own that. Probably still not accurate, I don't know.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for the interest check!

Aoi described a greymon variant, not an agumon?

Brace for feedback

I'd like to have a more realistic, historically accurate RP story which would require the participants to have some fairly good knowledge and education about the time period.

I can tell you from personal experience, assigning homework is a deterrent, and the ones that show interest- and I'm sure they will, this is kind of a cool idea- well, don't be surprised if most/all of them just don't do it.

primitive sign language, which isn't very fun or realistic to be honest.

hand gestures to try and aid communicating an idea is still vastly more realistic than anything presented in 10,000 B.C., my guy. I'm not saying pick a lane; mixing realistic and fantastic elements is fine, but this initial presentation doesn't provide enough definition to what is or isn't allowed.

This is a cool idea, but for myself? I'd definitely wait for a proper interest check, with more clearly defined setting/boundaries for character stuff.

Edit:

I generally just let the players govern themselves and see where it goes.

Again, my own experience, on both sides of a GM screen, this is a really bad idea. I'm sure it's possible that this play style can work, I just haven't seen evidence to suggest it can work here, on this site.
