Writing Digimon: Data Storm (Workout title)

[Circ]

I've been toying around with the idea of adult digidestined for a while now, but I've only got the strating inspiration today.

My digidestined are not grown-up, they're perfectly normal adult whose work make them regularly in contact with computers and Internet. Just this is already making my idea different from many.

Then, there is no actual digivolution applied to the partners. The digivice (the D-Coder) give the digidestined the actual hability to change their partner's data in specific areas.

This digiworld is much more connected to the real world's internet. It's core are the data streams between "nodes", reagion with have specific culture, epoch etc. The whole thing is somewhat similar to the world of "Samurai Jack". Time is very variable, and different region frequently have different timeflows.

The digidestineds don't really have control over the way they are sent from a world to the other, and are almost randomly sucked in and out.

My caracters are
A game programmer, who can alter the mental habilities of is digimon.
A digital artist, who have a shapeshifting power over his partner.
A security specialist, who can increase or decrease his partner's strenght
A rabid fanfiction writer, with the power to change his digimon's size.
A webdesigner who can give his partner advanced weaponry.
A hacker with the hability to change his partner's basic type (water, aerial, magic etc.)
An otaku and general internetaholic that can give mystic powers (seer, telekinesy, telepathy etc.) to his partner
and, last, but not least, a specialist of digital effects who can change the matter constituting his partner's body

This hability is very restricted: you can alter a digimon's shape, but his basic size and strenght remain the same, and so on. This only work if the partner is consentant and need a real effort from the digidestined's part. It is also dynamic, and can be changed at will and almost automatically.

What is the evil this time? The nodes are evolving as data streams change, which is what lets the digital world evolve and stay alive. Some digimon among the most powerfull, however, fear that this will (and actually, it could) cause the disparition of the nodes they lives in, so they try to stop or slow down the data stream. This created a weird virus into the real world's Internet. It only infect servers directly, disrupting communications between them.



Okay, this is my basic ideas. I really feel that this will be big! I'll probably need some help, specially as caracterisation is my biggest weakness, and without caracterisation, no story can be great.

Comments? Questions? Suggestions? I'd love to hear them!
