[3:35 P.M.]Unknown Sender: Hello new chosen digidestined. If you are ready to begin your new life hit 1.
*click*
[3:36 P.M.]Unknown Sender: So the choice has been made. May fate shine brightly on you.
A light shines from your cell phone and engulfs the world around you. When you come to, you notice that your phone has taken a new form. A voice speaks from it.
“This is your Digivice, the tool that will shape your destiny”
You quickly look around and notice that you are all alone but you are still in the same place as you were.
In the corner of your eye, you notice a strange small blob looking at you. It seems to be no bigger than a bowling bowl with two beady eyes staring at you. Prickly ginger furs cover its body and two curly antennae protrude out of the top of it’s head. The creature's mouth smiles widely revealing a set of razor sharp teeth. All of a sudden, it’s mouth opens and it begins to speak.
“Hi there, my name is Trymon.”
.
This is where your Digimon Story begins.
Introduction
Welcome to Digimon Story: Digital Shift, the premier Digimon RP. As you can see, you have seem to have found yourself in quite the predicament. Fortunately, you do not have to venture this journey alone. Along with you, a young Training 1 Digimon named Trymon is by your side, and although he may be rather weak right now, given time he may become a powerful ally! As of now, not much is known. All you remember is being in the British city of Sundon in the year 20XX for your own reasons. Can you solve this mystery and make your way home, or will you find a new purpose on this journey and forge your own path? The choice is yours.
Important Terminology
(For more information, here is the wikia)
*Note: Some liberties are taken for the sake of this RP, if there are any questions please ask*
Digivice: A tool used by Digidestined to connect with their partner Digimon and digivolve them.
Digi Eggs: Essentially the first form a digimon takes. Digimon not connected to a Digivice who have all of their energy drained return to this form. After a period of time, digi eggs hatch into training 2 digimon, but it is also theorized that digi eggs can be harvested for energy.
Digivolve: All digimon seem to have this ability, but the causing factors are ultimately unknown. The only observable factor is that digimon who digivolve glow white and change shapes. It is also noticeable that along with new abilities, digivolved digimon seem to mature in personality.
De-digivolve: The act of reverting to a previous form of evolution. Traditionally, digimon are unable to digivolve without their energy being greatly drained or being completely depleted. An exception of this rule seems to come from digimon connected to a digivice, these digimon seem to revert to rookie form after battle/use/defeat if they are evolved higher than rookie.
**More Information may be added in the future**
Trymon currently is a Neutral digimon. These choices will also help guide your digimon’s personality, but not dictate it. (Think of it more as a suggestion to build off from.) Typically Data tend to be more Intelligent Digimon, Vaccine tend to be more Heroic, Virus tend to be more Evil, and Neutral tend to be more passive. Once Rookie form is reached, you will be allowed to create your own digimon which includes design, name, skills, etc. Also, do not feel like you are restricted to have your Training 1 and 2 digimon act like everyone else's, while they may and probably should act like children, it is your digimon and you are free to shape its personality and backstory.
Another important note should be that upon starting the game, you are free to check your map at all times from your Digivice, all you have to do is request it in bold and you will retrieve in in a spoiler tag in my next post. (The map will be viewable from the OP, but requesting to see it will allow you to see it with a “You are here” marker on it.) On top of that, once you unlock a new digivolution, you are free to access that digivolution at any time. Similar to JR with the rider transformations, you can choose to digivolve and de-digivolve as you please.
Another thing to know about the map is that any area where the boss is not dealt with risks an encounter with a digimon; however, any zone that is safe will be marked. Note, even though you can technically just destroy every boss, that is not the only solution to the problem. Once all of the zones are taken care of, the next chapter of the RP will make its way.
Rules (That are totally copied from JR)
-No invincible players. Though death is not really a part of this RP, if your Digimon is champion or higher and sustains too much damage, your Digimon will revert to rookie. (If necessary, this will be left up to GM discretion and a warning may be issued.)
-No spamming. You can have short posts, but keep them one at a time and try to keep it at at least a paragraph of text.
-Keep battles fair. Don't just kill a guy in one shot.
-Post OOC in spoilers once the game has begun.
-Wait for GM acceptance of your app before posting.
-The current maximum is ONE CHARACTER.
-NPCs are permitted for plot purposes, but do not take control of another's NPC without permission.
-Clearly note your location when switching scenes.
-Over-the-topness and cheesiness is allowed and encouraged as long as it does not go into god-mod territory.
-For the love of all that is holy, PLEASE DON'T BREAK THE 4TH WALL! It takes away from the experience and can just sorta be distracting. So please, just...don't.
-Don't copy another person's rookie or higher Digimon.
-OCs only, so no AUs of real characters or people.
-Read GD's Role Playing guide for reference.
-While this will likely be somewhat silly, keep it SEMI-realistic. Don't go to Crazy Normal levels where anything goes, please.
Applications should be posted in thread and new Digivolutions will be handled over P.M.
