Hey guys, I came up with an rp idea some time ago:
Setting:
New Athens is a mechanized city in the sky. It is a grand city of nearly 1 million, all encapsulated in a giant metal dome. The city is almost fully mechanized, and humans barely have to do any manual labor. The needs of each and every citizen are automatically met, and the citizens are free to follow whatever their dreams may be. As long as they don’t ask why the flying city keeps moving, that is. There are rumors that the city is trying to escape the terrible fate of the rest of the human race. The more cynical wonder if the city is the beast they want to escape.
Though life has been peaceful in New Athens, there have been a spat of bloody murders happening in the less desirable parts of the city. Most of the populace don’t care, but others are intrigued – there are tales of those killed by malfunctioning machinery in the city, and others found with the marks of beasts on their corpses, though the city has never malfunctioned, and there are no larger animals than small dogs in the city.
In the schools of New Athens, there is a new fad – virtual pets. These pets are extremely simple, you only need to feed and take rudimentary care of them, and then have them battle to become the best. These simple games have taken hold of the city’s youth, and almost everyone under the age of 13 in the city is vying to be the best ‘tamer’.
These things, are of course, related.
Though it is fairly uncommon and almost unheard of, some of these v-pets have been infected by a virus called “The Beast”, which causes the pets in the devices to gain real form. Most people with these modified devices have to hide their new friends, lest the city decide to get rid of these new anomalies. It has been known to ‘boot’ out pests before.
Rules:
I know the setting is dark, but try to keep things pg-13 here. Remember that the site and Rp rules apply here at all times.
While grammar and spelling errors are permissible – look at my posts for evidence of that – please try to proofread your posts. At the very least, please make them legible.
No godmodding or power-playing. Your Digimon may be powerful, but a Greymon will have trouble defeating a VenomMyotismon. Try to be practical.
Humans tend not to be very powerful in this setting. You can be part of the military, but please keep special powers reasonable. For example, while there can be supernatural elements, I don’t want any character to be able to snap and enemy in half with their mind.
The v-pets are based off of the actual Digimon v-pets, and information on them can be found here. However, don’t let that limit your creativity. Those are only guidelines – feel free to have a Digimon partner that isn’t in the v-pets or have a line that is different from the line in the v-pets. If you want to make your own Digimon, that is fine too, but please give us a description of their attacks, appearance, and type (data/vaccine/virus) and (Beast/Dragon/Bird/Plant/etc.)
Right now, there are no restrictions on partner digimon. However, your Digimon partner cannot start at any level higher than champion.
Your digivice is the device your character had before the virus infected it. So if your character had a pendulum 1.5, that has now become their digivice. They can take care of their Digimon from it like before, and can store their Digimon in it when needed.
If something doesn’t make sense, feel free to ask. This is the first time I’ve ever made a single thread forum role-play, so I will probably make some mistakes.
Sign-up:
Human Tamer:
Name:
Age: Anyone under 18 is forced to attend school. Above 18, you are put into a job immediately. This can be anything you want, though most people go into either the military or public services.
Gender:
Nationality: Anyone under 30 was probably born in New Athens. You can list your character’s genealogy, in that case.
History: Give us a sentence or two about your character’s background.
Personality: Give us a sentence or two about what your character acts like.
Appearance: Give us a sentence or two about what your character looks like. You can also simply use a picture.
Device: Most of these will be based on the real vpets found on file island, so most devices will be like d1 digivices, digivice ics, pendulum, pendulum x's, etc.
Digimon:
Name: Optional, as not all digimon go by a separate name.
Gender: Optional.
History: Optional. Digimon may have lived in the digital world before all this, so feel free to make your Digimon more experienced.
Personality: Like the human example, just a line or two explaining how your Digimon usually acts.
Evolution Line: You don’t have to fill out your complete line if you don’t want to or are undecided. Try to at least provide baby 2 form to rookie form.
Again, this is be my first time working with a single thread rp, so I am open to all any any suggestions before we start.
