Digimon started off innocent enough, an online game created by the once obscure Iband. Within a short period of time, the game was drawing in countless users and was translated in a few different languages, further perpetuating its popularity. Over the next few years, cards and Digivices were released; players connected them to their computer and could physically swipe them and get one step closer to being a real Tamer…
Needless to say, fans were crazy excited when IBand announced they had plans for Virutal Reality. There was much at stake here, the project was very expensive and fear of failure was high. Being a risk taker, however, the CEO was hopeful success was within reach, which would bring in lofty profits. Sadly, things did in fact hit many snags and was taking much longer than expected.
In order to avoid losing too many players, a major patch was introduced, featuring fusion Digivolution. At first, things went smoothly and people stayed fairly interested in the Digimon game. However, not long before the Virtual Reality unveiling, something went very wrong…
Choasdramon should not exist. When testing new fusions, this monster was created, and the mistake was glaring. The game experienced minor but notable glitches from that moment onward, and removing Choasdramon’s coding proved impossible. Staff had no idea what to make of it, and some suggested taking the game offline for repairs. However doing that so close to revealing the Virtual Reality device after so much time, energy and money was put into it was swiftly rejected. Too risky, they said.
Nobody could have predicted what happened on that day, a day IBand and Digimon fans had been looking forward to for so long. The machine was turned on; blacked out for a moment only for a glithy code to on the screen…
From there, the device proceeded to make a sharp zapping sound and in a show of lights and pixilated effects, a Digimon appeared, right there in the convention centre. Needless to say, that ToyAugmon caused an incredible commotion and roused both excitement and panic from the audience. However, little did anyone know, that was only the beginning…
It seems that whatever happened to the Virtual Reality device tore a hole into the barrier separating the Digital World from Earth. The ToyAugmon at E3 was waved as a publicity stunt to avoid creating panic and confusion. IBand, government agents and select elite programmers worked around the clock to find a way to deal with the monsters that had already escaped the Digital World and to prevent more from appearing. At the same time, it grew increasingly hard to cover up Digimon sightings and the damage some would make.
Not all the digital monsters that came to the human world were bad, however. More than a few players of the Digimon game found their Digivices shaking, glowing and generally not acting as it should. Access to the game had been cut, leaving many wondering what was happening. Those who kept their spazzy Digivices were in for something special; their own Digimon had crossed to the real world to meet up with them. Some took it… badly, but there were those who relished being able to have their own real digital partner. Of course, keeping them hidden from the authorities proved important, for potentially lethal creatures whose existence was constantly being masked falling into the hands of the general public (especially children and teenagers) was not likely going to jive.
Lately, it seems the Digimon appearing are getting bigger, stronger and more dangerous. At the same time, small but notable groups of Tamers have been using their Digimon in “less then honorable” ways. It’s only a matter of time before cover-ups will no longer be able to hide the existence of digital monsters in our world.
Critical questions remain. Does Choasmon have any involvement in these events? Is there something more sinister waiting around the bend? Will the government’s team’s newest plan be more effective then the last? And of course… what will YOUR role in this story be..? Only one way to find out…

-Important notes-
-Your Digivice is a D’Arc model, which is designed to utilize modify cards
-A basic list of modify cards can be found here. Please note that the blue, red and Radiant Fate cards are inaccessible. Creating your own cards is encouraged, but avoid making them overpowered and PLEASE run the idea by me first. Thank-you ^^
-The RP begins about 6 or so months after E3 and is set in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. It would be preferable if your character had something keeping them in the region; living there, studying, ect.
-As officials are attempting to cover the existence of Digimon, accurate information relating to the situation is very hard to come by. Any knowledge on the topic is rare, actually. Most reports on Digimon are in attempts to debunk claims they’ve been spotted or exist.
-It is worth noting that the higher the form a Tamer’s Digimon reaches, the more the Tamer feels the pain their partner receives in battle.
-Rules-
-Please do not Godmod /Powerplay. You are not invincible, threatening enemies do not go down in one hit, and dodging every single hit is almost always impossible. As mentioned in the “Important Notes” section, information pertaining to the Digimon situation is scarce at best; you shouldn’t be a fountain of knowledge in this area.
-Please avoid bunnying. Taking control of someone else’s character in any way is not allowed. However, if you have permission to do so, there’s no problem.
-Please be respectful to everyone at all times. We’re all here to have fun and forge a story, not to insult and attack each other. If someone has done something you don’t like, please address in a polite manner.
-To avoid confusion, we’ll be including a header in every post with our character names and our locations.
-If you are unable to post for an extended period, or have to leave the RP, it would be greatly appreciated that you let us know by posting in this thread or by PMing me.
-Posts should be two paragraphs minimum, though making them a little longer would be great. However, don't worry about making posts very long. It's better to be able to post shorter posts on a regular basis then rarely being able to post because it takes too long to write a huge post. I cannot stress this enough. Also... said post A LOT there, didn't I? cx
-Do refrain from using chatspeak in your posts. Typos happen, they're inevitable, but please make an effort to write using proper English.
-Have fun, of course! If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to share them c:
*For those of you who are interested, but are unfamiliar with Digimon terminology (or just need a refresher), I’ve put together a mini-glossary to clarify some of the lingo*
-Digi-Glossary-
(Please note that I use some of Digi Wiki’s definitions with edits. Also, I have altered some of the original definitions to fit the RP. )
Digivice: Short for “Digital Device”, this gizmo grants a Digimon the ability to Digivolve and is held by Tamers. The Digivices used in the RP, the D’Arc, can be used with Modify Cards.
Tamer: A person who wields a Digivice and has a Digimon partner.
Digi-Modify: This term refers to the act of temporarily altering a Digimon’s abilities via the use of Modify Cards. Gaining an extra attacks, receiving a speed boost or being granted wings are just a few examples of what Modify Cards can do.
Digivolution: Basically, evolving. By Digivolving, Digimon reach more powerful forms and are able to challenge tougher foes. Listed below are the six main stages a Digimon has
Fresh: The lowest form, which newly hatched Digimon hold. They are unable to speak fluently, and like Pokemon, are limited to saying their names.
In-Training: In-Training Digimon are capable of fluent speech, and although they aren’t very strong, their small size makes them easy to conceal. Exhausting battles cause a Digimon to revert back to this stage.
Rookie: Most Digimon are typically found in their Rookie forms. Although their size can vary, many Rookies are small enough, and being in this stage makes them far less vulranble then an In-Training. After most fights, a Digimon will revert to this form.
Champion: Champion Digimon are noticeably stronger then Rookies. However, they tend to be much larger and this form is harder to hold then the previous ones.
Ultimate: Yet another power boost is achieved when reaching the Ultamite level. Few Digimon are able to remain at this stage for extended periods of time.
Mega: In most cases, there is nothing more powerful than a Mega level Digimon. Reaching this stage is incredibly difficult, and only the strongest can attain and maintain it. Bio-Merging, DNA Digivolution and other special methods are required to reach this form.
Bio-Merge Digivolution: This special mode of Digivolution sees the Tamer and their Digimon merge together to become one. The resulting Digimon is always a powerful Mega, but it can only be achieved in the Digital World.
DeDigivolution: The act of reverting back to a lower form. For example, if a Champion goes back to its Rookie stage, it has DeDigivolved.
Crests: These are the symbols of the traits embodied by special Tamers.
