Digimon: Materialization

Haruka waited a moment, giving the individual ample time to reply. However, when she didn't say anything, he just rolled his eyes.
"A coward then," came the reply, as he spun the phone in his hand, about to slip it into his pocket and walk away.
At that moment, another individual approached, sitting on the opposite bench. There wasn't much to say about this one, save for her odd state of dress. Pushing his hair back with the heel of his palm, Haruka stepped to leave the path, when an outburst was heard. His eye shot like a dart towards the source of the interruption.
"Superstition is for fools and weaklings," he remarked loudly.
Shoulders back and head high, Haruka made a show of leaving. His eyes shot an icy, analytical glare at the tall kid with the bear hat who was also looking at his phone. Finding nothing much of interest, he began to head down the path, flipping his phone out once again. As he traveled, he began to re-check the status of his Ryudamon, beginning to prepare him for battle. Stopping by an old stump at a crossroads in the park's many paths, Harkua began to wait for the X-Data enemies to appear. According to his calculations, the event would start in about five minutes.

...

And there it was. The hunt was on.

The Future...

Civilization died in the cataclysms.
The Dragonians were born from the death of the old Earth.
Who will rule the new Urth?

Hello there! This RP is based on the 1994 arcade classic fighting game Primal Rage. It might be a bit before I'm ready to start, because I'd like to give people time to iron out their concepts, as you will be playing new characters, instead of the ones featured in the video game.
For those who don't know, Primal Rage is about god-like "DinoBeasts" who fight for control over the land and population of a ruined Earth, referred to in materials as "Urth". So basically, we'll be playing as kaiju with a domain and fighting game powers akin to those in Mortal Kombat, as far as theme goes. In order to balance out the naturally hectic nature of the premise, I'm considering using what I'll be calling "actionable terms", basically aspects of your character's bio/description that you can reference to solve situations, or possibly act against you.
Speaking of, it would be best if characters have a reason to at least expand their territory, if not have a goal that involves, or is assisted by, conquering "Urth" and defeating the other players. Most of the "DinoBeasts" were dormant under the crust of the Earth until a meteor strikes the Earth and destroys the moon. While the meteor doesn't awaken all of them instantly, it usually caused a chain reaction that lead to the characters coming to the surface to fight. Also, the human worshipers will be used as a kind of resource, and, along with territory, be wagered in fights, to a degree. I'm thinking of having a named chieftain slot on the character sheet, who can act as emissaries for your main characters. And given the nature of this being based on a fighting game, and the nature of the characters in that game, your characters won't really die. And if they do, it won't be for long.

Character Sheet

Name:
Species: (Usually made up, so feel free to be creative or unspecific, giant gorillas are called "Kongs", etc.)
Appearance:
Height/Length:
Weight:
Consumption Rate: (How much does the character eat? Just for fun.)
Lair: (The character's territory, the seat of their power, and their fighting stage.)
Affiliation: (Destructive or Virtuous, basically, "good" or "bad", generally speaking.)
Domain: (The element of which they are the 'god'.)
Followers: (The humans that worship your character. Each player will start with 3,000 followers, which can be affected by their disposition, actions, victories, and losses. The more followers a "DinoBeast" has, the stronger they become.)
Chieftain: (Describe the leader of your followers, to whom you can give orders directly. Think of them as your emissary.)
Bio: (A rundown of who they are, what they do, why they do it, etc. In your bio, pick three attributes of your character to use as "actionable traits", by bolding, color coordinating, or otherwise indicating them with formatting. These can be related to size, temperament, tactics, makeup, or anything else that can be helpful, or harmful, in conflicts and danger. You can gain an edge in combat by invoking these during the RP. Just discuss it with me in the OOC thread, and we'll see how it can work for or against you.)
(Please include a description of your character's awakening and how they would react to the first group of humans they come across.)
RAGE- (Here you will describe your fighting abilities and combat prowess.)
General Combat: (Your basic attacks, are divided into several categories: Low and High, Quick and Fierce, and Power. Basically, think of them as Strong and Fast Punches and Kicks, but relative to your character's anatomy, so tail sweeps and bites are included as well, being low and high respectively. Power attacks are a conceptual combination of your Quick and Fierce attacks for both high and low aim. These usually have more of a wind-up.)(Here's a good primer video, if you need a better explanation.)
Specials: (Here, you can select seven special attacks that use the powers of your character.)
Dominations: (Dominations moves are special finishing moves that garner more followers. Each character has two domination moves, but they can only be used at the end of the match in victory, when all their actionable traits unused.)

Let me know if you have any comments, questions, or concerns. : )

Primal Rage RP?

I've just been busy. Sorry for the delay. Once I get around to my days off again, I should be able to get an OOC going.

Digimon: Materialization

Ah. I don't know that game. Thanks for the vid-link.

Digimon: Materialization

Dino Crisis? Or was that a made up reference?

Primal Rage RP?

@Lunamaria Hawke That's a promising start, thanks.
@VizRiel Glad to hear it.

Digimon: Materialization

Oh, two questions- A: Are there passives like in CyberSleuth/other Story games, and B: Can I add Bushikatagi as a passive technique/do I need to? Or is that just something implicit about Ryudamon, like WarGreymon's Dramon Breakers, for example?

The soft blue light reflecting into the surrounding trees slowly faded into a warm orange. An idle thumb gently swiped the screen back and forth. If his calculations were correct- and more often than not they were, then a large concentration of X-Data would be spawned in the relay points that correlated to the park tonight. His eyes scanned the horizon, mainly listening more than anything. A quick glance down to his phone, and his thumb flicked to the portion of Emergence that stored scanned data to be converted into eggs. For someone as active in the game as he, there were a surprising number of partial and unloaded eggs.

Most players Haruka had seen loaded every egg they could, then scrambled to fit them all in their farms, and agonized over which ones to delete when that failed them. This was an obvious trap in game design meant to make the sentimental types grind or pay money for extra farms. Haruka was better than that. He was, after all, the Hexagon_Dragon. His game plan was far more exacting. He would only select the strongest, most effective Digimon. He had been lucky that the first egg the game gave him had been a carrier of the X-Antibody. With a Ryudamon already in his hand, his plan for a perfect fighting force was off to a glorious start.

Returning to the map screen, Haruka glanced at it for a moment, before scanning the path ahead. On a bench, there was a young woman with white hair, in a white coat, face aglow with the light of her own phone. Stopping there, his figure illuminated by the night-time-mode glow of his phone, Haruka waited a moment, simply looking. However, knowing better than to stare at people as night was falling, he began to move, scanning his phone from side to side, a common tell for players of Emergence.
"Well, Ryudamon," he began, his tone holding a lilt of sarcasm, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say there's a Tamer waiting to be squashed."
This kind of baiting line usually got most players in a huff. So much so that they would forget about a Digimon's ability, if they even knew Ryudamon's in the first place, and end up falling right into Haruka's hand.
