Martel's RP Revival Project, Part 1 of ?

There was a Digimon RP in the works about a year ago now, but it ultimately never got off the ground, and I am DYING for a Digimon RP, so here I am, posting an interest check for it. Details are still in the works, but here is a basic outline of stuff you need to know:

+ This RP will be set in a post-apocalyptic world, by which I mean the Digital World has merged with the Human World. So there will be locations that resemble both areas.
+ Since this is post-apocalyptic, this is not so much about reversing the damage as it is trying to get rid of the source of it; the world is already screwed, and humanity is likely doomed. Saving the Digital World is boring. There IS no Digital World; it has merged completely with the Human World, and now there is no Human World either, just...something new. What is the source of this? The Demon Lords, naturally. But if you think that is the end of it, you obviously don’t know me very well~
+ This will be set about a month after that merge. Digimon are public knowledge - naturally, since human civilization has effectively been trashed - and they are widely feared. Digidestined are regarded as cursed and diseased; worse than dead. Traitors to their kind.
+ Being a Digidestined is a not a picnic. You are seen as a traitor by humans and Digimon alike. Both sides blame the other for the current situation, and seeing the two work together doesn’t go down well. Expect to come under fire a lot.
+ Season 1 mechanics. We’ll be keeping it nice and simple. If two people have compatible Digimon (i.e. one person chooses Veemon -> ExVeemon, and another chooses Wormmon -> Stingmon) I would be willing to allow DNA digivolution (Paildramon, then Imperialdramon...either dragon or fighter, but not Paladin, and no mode change: you choose one of the two) and dark digivolution (like Greymon -> Skullgreymon when it’d normally be Greymon -> Metalgreymon) under plot circumstances would be nice. But otherwise, it’s all nice and simple. This is mostly to keep power levels at an equal standing. In the HIGHLY unlikely event that everyone chooses Digimon with armor evolutions relating to their chosen crest, I'll allow armor digivolution as well.
+ That said, there will be some season 1 mechanics that will not apply: Dramon Destroyers, and the overwhelming brokenness of certain Digimon. Anyone who has watched Adventure 01 will know exactly why I'm mentioning those specifically. Some groups are on another level entirely, but otherwise all Digimon are equal. The only non-mega that can take on megas is Lucemon, because he’s Lucemon. If you choose Angemon for a Champion, you will not be able to wipe out an Ultimate level Virus type; you will barely even scratch it. A Mega will walk all over you.
+ Crests will be obtained during the course of the RP, naturally, as everyone will start the RP meeting their Digimon partners in whatever manner they see fit. There will be two exceptions to this rule. If you want to be one of the exceptions, PM me for details. Season 1 crests; nothing made up. Those, naturally, will unlock Ultimate forms for your Digimon. Mega will be unlocked…later.
+ The goal of the Digidestined is to locate the Digimon Sovereigns. I say “locate” because whether they’re just sealed or dead is a matter of some speculation. Right now, some others are running things, but they’re being unusually closemouthed about it…
+ There will be six Digidestined. So, five open slots. I am willing to go up to eight depending on who is asking.
+ There is the possibility of Royal Knight inclusion, if people wanted to play as them, although they would have an antagonistic role towards the Digidestined. Demon Lords will be playable as well.
+ Unless anyone wants to help out (hint: help me out) I’ll be playing most of the antagonists, who will be similar to what they are in the series: one-offs and generals of greater menaces. NPCs, basically. I’ll throw them out there and semi-control them so you’re not RPing battles with yourself. There will be a consistent threat throughout the RP, however, provided by…well, wait and see.
+ Digidestined don’t have to get along, and you don’t HAVE to pay attention to your goal; you can have another goal. Just be prepared to get stomped if it’s anything overtly evil. If you take an antagonistic role with your Digidestined, it will never be anything more than minor…mostly because you’ll never go beyond the Ultimate level, and will have no control over your Ultimate Digimon anyway, because the only way to get to Ultimate without a crest is to Dark Digivolve. Best to keep that in mind~
+ If you’re interested, post in here, but don’t try and reserve anything: if you want to do that, you can do that in the SU/D thread if I start one up. Obviously, two people can’t have the same Digimon, but since I’ll allow anything from the DMA that isn’t Jogress Evolution (excluding Royal Knight and Demon Lords) hopefully everyone should be able to find an evolutionary line that they’re satisfied with~
+ This is an open RP, unlike most of mine. However, my usual rules about high quality, detailed profiles and posts apply. Also, if you post interest, do try to follow through with it…
+ Looking for three other people...or, ideally, four. Sooo...any takers?
 
Right when you saw season 1 mechanics, I was up for this seeing as I only watched up till season three

... I'm pretty interested.

As for "Partner" Digimon, who'd be forbidden to choose becuase of Nerfing or whatnot?
 
I so want to do this :sad3:

But be warned; I'm returning to uni soon and in the spirit of shared housing, we won't have interwebs to begin with. And God knows how long that will take. So yeah, warning.
 
I'll take a stab at it. Forewarning, I haven't seen Digimon in years...and I don't know how reliable the wiki is in retelling the story.

Royal Knights, Demon Lords, Digimon Sovereigns and select one-offs, like GranDracmon and Susanoomon, wouldn't be selectable as partner Digimon, either because of the plot, or because it'd be stupid to try to nerf them. Also X-Digimon, since those would either play a role in the plot or be ignored. Anything else goes, it's just important to keep in mind that power levels have been nerfed. In Adventure 01, Angemon decimated Phantomon - an Ultimate - with an attack that wasn't even aimed at him, and brought Myotismon - who had shrugged off SIX Ultimates just by waving his hands about - to his knees. That is NOT going to happen in my RP. If you had an Angemon and went up against a Phantomon, you would be outclassed. Massively. Except Lucemon, who even in his Rookie form can bring Megas to their knees, it takes a Digimon of equal or greater level to combat another of a certain level. I'll draw up a hierarchy of power at some stage.

I'll be using the DMA Digidex for evolution lines, because anime digivolution lines are too restrictive. If it says the Digimon can digivolve into another Digimon (like Salamon can digivolve to D'Arcmon, even though it traditionally goes to Gatomon or BlackGatomon) then you can do that. The exception to this is what the site refers to as Jogress Evolution, because that's DNA digivolving, which you can only do if someone else has the other Digimon necessary for it.

I can delay the start of the RP for you if necessary...or you can come in halfway through it~

You don't need to worry about the story; this is an original RP, just with Digimon in it. It will have no resemblance to the Adventure series, or any of the others. The only reason I say season 1 mechanics is because the other seasons have some ridiculous innovations, and it'd be hard to judge power levels. Not every Digimon has a Burst Mode, and Hybrids can come in anywhere on the scale, and having people making up their own cards would just aggravate the hell out of me. It's for the sake of an equal playing field more than anything else...plus, these things aren't really needed anyway. I'll provide all the information you need in the SU/D thread, and if you still have queries, just ask~
 
I'm going to start getting things together for this in a readable format over the next few days...I'd like to say by Wednesday I'll have the signups thread ready to go, but I'll not promise anything just yet. It depends on how well my brain functions.

Given current numbers, I'd be willing to allow 2 Digidestined per person, as well. A massive cast for this isn't essential, but if you want more than one character to make life more interesting, at the moment I'd say go for it.
 
I'll be up for this, loved this show, only really watched season 1 and 2, i did watch a bit of 3, loved the Digivice from it, but i shall probs have a season 1 D/V, and probably a Season 3 Digimon.
 
This sounds fun, might be a good way to get back into rp'ing as well. Sorry if I missed this while reading but also asking, what about the spirit evolution and beast evolution digimon season 5 I think it was. Are they going to be basically off limits since they had what 2-3 forms depending on who it was?
 
Any Digivolution that isn't standard (so, In-Training -> Rookie -> Champion -> Ultimate -> Mega) is off-limits, yes. It's just too difficult to gauge the power of Hybrids - although if they are on your Digivolution line then I won't object to you using them; they'll just have the same power as whatever level they are on that line - and not every Digimon has a Burst Mode, so that's a bit difficult to include.

If two people want to get together and have two compatible Digimon, I will allow DNA Digivolution, so you can share your Ultimate and Mega form, and it will be slightly more powerful than a standard Ultimate/Mega as a result, although I wouldn't recommend it, if only because if one of you drops out the other will be kind of screwed. Similarly, if everyone picks Digimon capable of Armor Digivolution, I'll allow that as well, although the odds that everyone will pick an armor-compatible Digimon are quite low, and I'm not going to insist upon it.

I'll try and get the SU/D thread up by Friday, and from that point you'll have a week to write your bios; I'll set October 1st as a tentative start date.
 
...I intend to use Dorumon. BUT, one of his Mega forms leads to Alphamon... As such, is he still usable???

If not, I'll go with somebody else.
 
Mhm, BlackAgumon will be useable, there is no reason for it not to be. Just keep in mind that if you follow through with its standard line and go with BlackWarGreymon for your Mega, you won't be able to insta-kill any Dramon type Digimon because of Dramon Destroyers.

Alphamon is not useable, no: he's a Royal Knight. He may be playable as a separate character, but not as a part of your Digivolution line. Also, if you use Dorumon, you won't be able to use his Dex line or Dexmon either, because they're technically X-Digimon. His regular line would be fine, though, and if you wanted to follow his Reptiledramon line, you could always have him Digivolve into a Mega that isn't Alphamon if it's in the DMA: Owryumon or VictoryGreymon, for example. If it's not on the off-limits list, it isn't off-limits, and if the DMA lists it as an "Or" option (but NOT a Jogress or Armor or Item option) then it's fine.

Keep in mind here that you're locked into ONE evolution line; when I said you could pick anything on the DMA, I didn't mean that one Rookie could digivolve into everything on the list. Just that they were all options for your evolution line.

Now, some minor updates that cropped up today as I was typing things out and scheming for the future:

+ There are now eight free slots, as I've expanded on the RP's backstory a little bit, and toyed with my own planned characters a bit, so now all 8 Crests from the first season have been freed up.
+ Crests of Kindness, Destiny and Miracles will have different roles to play...of those three, one is still free. I'm looking for someone to fill the role, but you would need to have a specific Digimon if you wanted it; it's plot relevant. If you're interested, drop me a PM and I'll give some cryptic hints~
+ There will be a little more in the way of politics in the world that I had originally planned: it's post-apocalyptic, but factions of humans will still be very prominent. One such faction will have access to X-Digimon, and yes, you will be able to be a part of that faction...although the consequences might not be to your liking.
+ The "face of evil" if you like, will be the Seven Generals of the Demon Lords...at least to start with. The Demon Lords themselves won't be playable until very late in the RP, if then. Things are still very mysterious, which is code for I haven't decided which way I want to take the antagonists in the RP yet. There will be an all-powerful villain present from the start, though. Oh yes indeed.
+ The world will be quite small, initially, although depending on the number of participants I'll be expanding it. I'd prefer not to have more than 3 people to a group at any one time, because bigger RPs get tangled up very easily, and then people lose interest, and then it all dies horribly.
+ There will be an Information Thread, although I hadn't planned to have one, but the data I'm compiling is starting to mount up something awful.

Kay, that's about it~

I'll be writing an information thread with everything you need to know...eventually. The later seasons did get quite confusing, but I'll be keeping it strictly to basics, so it won't be too difficult to follow...at least in theory. Anyone who knows me even in passing will know I have a complex, player-driven plot in my head with room for improvisation and expansion. I don't do spontaneous roleplay.

Also, here's the premise:

The Digital World has always been a place of conflict, yet for every evil, there is a corresponding good. So, when the Demon Lords, after centuries of imprisonment, rose up to overthrow the four Sovereigns of the Digital World and claim it for their own, they were met in opposition by an army, led by Digidestined; chosen warriors with the power to see them cast down permanently.

They failed. The Gate of the Seven Deadly Sins was thrown open, and horrors far greater than that of even the Demon Lords were unleashed upon the Digital World, plunging it into ruin. Yet not even Lucemon himself could predict the repercussions of opening the Gate, as the Digital World, inexplicably, merged with the Human World. Physical reality and data became woven together, and through the chaos, something new was born: a world where humans and Digimon existed together. The Gate was closed, and the evil was resealed, yet the world remained in a state of decline. The Demon Lords vanished, yet their evil remained to plague the land.

That was three years ago.

What is now known as simply The Merge has shattered the bonds between nations; shattered the very land itself. Scattered to the winds and vastly diminished in numbers, humankind now finds that it is no longer the dominant species on the planet, which has itself changed beyond recognition, being neither physical nor digital, yet something in between. Creatures of immense power known as Digimon now roam the land in abundance, and many are not kindly disposed to their new neighbors.

Despite the chaos surrounding the Merge, the world has reached a tenuous stability. However, the arrival of new Digidestined, and the stirring of the ghosts of the past, have thrown this stability into chaos, and what will rise from this chaos, none can know for certain. Will these new Digidestined bring forth a glorious new era for Mankind, or for Digimon? Which species will rise to dominance over the new world, and which will fall, becoming little more than a memory? As each side works to bring its own plans for the future to fruition, those who are caught up in the maelstrom must set their own course, and with it, the course of this new world…
 
Alright, so. I have posted up an Information Thread, which will (eventually) have everything you need to know about the RP in it. It's going to take me at least the weekend to build the world up and provide descriptions and perhaps images of important locations. I'll be adding to it as the RP progresses as well, no doubt: world-building is a lot of work.

RP name is now Digimon Re: Create, because I am Re: ally Creative. Har har.

IF YOU POST IN THAT THREAD, I WILL BLACKLIST YOU FROM THIS RP.

The Sign Up thread will be up tomorrow, and then discussion can move over to that; I will finish preparations for it today. What I want to know now is this:
1) Do you have any questions about anything that I haven't covered? Is anything not clear?
2) What would you like to see in the help thread? Either under Player Guidelines or Terminology. Is there anything you'd like defined?
 
Okay, I've checked out the Info thread and I see that you have a good...probably 70% of the information already up and available at the moment. I already have an idea on my character and I am waiting til I get home before I start putting those ideas onto paper, though at the moment one thing I would like to see defined, or rather am waiting for is your map really.
 
The map is probably going to take me the entire weekend to fill in, considering I'm re-designing an entire planet. Locations will be mostly from the Digital World, but with some human cities (mostly ruined, but some will still stand - there is a definite human presence in the RP outside of the Digidestined) here and there. The various factions amongst humans will be up later on today though, and I may write something on the economy as well.

Here is a preview of the map's outline, in case you're interested. I'll probably add in something for the poles - large blocks of ice, no actual landmass- and maybe a cluster of islands to the South East. Some things will get shifted, others won't. It's a Merge in every sense. Oh, and that large island to the West is File Island. Just because.

The Information Thread is probably going to double in size...things I plan to do over the next few days include...
1) Add a Table of Contents
2) Split faction posts between human and Digimon and go into proper detail surrounding members and politics and major figures
3) Add the map in with descriptions on locations
4) Finish what needs finishing

After that, I'll probably add posts for the Digidestined as I receive them.

Sign-up thread will be up...shortly. Maybe after I've had my morning Gundam 00 fix, maybe this afternoon after I've had my lunch. Stay tuned.
