Sign Up DPM: Data Drive

[Walnut]

The DPM or Digital Pocket Monsters as its full title goes, was started when it became clear that the anime series of Pokémon was going to be one of the biggest crazes on the International level. Not only is Pokémon an anime series, film, computer game for several consoles and a CTCG it has now become a virtual reality game.

The basic description of DPM is an international multi-player RPG that can be accessed from a home computer or in one of the many Pokémon gaming leagues login stations. With the use of a headset and a copy of ?DMP: Data Drive? you can be transported instantly to a virtual world where your favourite Pokémon are up for grabs in startling 3D graphic?s. Catch ?em at the League login and then take them home and train them up and make your own unique fighting monsters that can earn you the title of Pokémon Master? as the ad runs. The game data is stored on Data CTC?s, which can be obtained by taking part in the game.

It is one of the fastest growing businesses and the number of people playing it is over 1 million. But like everything in life, be it real or not, there are those who will try to destroy what they cannot have or try to take over the system. Recently a virus simply called ?NEW POKE-BALL? has been sent throughout the server and is deleting people?s files, reducing Pokémon from extremely high levels to the lowest rookie level possible and causing many more problems for everyone.

You attend one of the many League login?s on a regular basis and have yet to be effected by the virus. In the middle of an extremely heated battle, which could change all of your chances to become a Master, the game cuts out. Before you can even blink an announcement pops up and reads: ?Apologies for shutting down all games. Virus ?NEW POKE-BALL? has been discovered in the system and so all games have been saved at current locations and terminated for protection of all accounted for. We apologise once again. Please claim your data cards from your Prize boxes. Thank you?

Grumbling slightly you removed your headset, go to your Prize box and open it to get your cards. You quickly close it again, blink a couple of times and then slowly and tentatively re-open the box. Inside are not your cards?.but two real Pokémon who stare at you with large happy eyes. Creepy or what?

You chance a glance around and see that everyone else is heading out the doors, not waiting for you. Without realising what you are doing you somehow manage to smuggle the two Pokémon home and get past your parents without any questions asked, bar why are you home so early. In your room you continue to stare at the Pokémon, unsure exactly what to do or how they got there in the first place. Suddenly your computer blinks on and you receive an e-mail from someone called ?Chrissie Team Ball? which reads? ? Congratulations on being one of the few to sustain our virus. You will have now received your Pokémon and we now await your presence so that you can fight us at a desegregated time and place. Meet us at ?The Park? at five and do not think of telling anyone. You are like us. The Incorruptible.?

Now it?s up to you. Do you take on this new challenge or simply hide and wait it out. Just remember though?your fellow gamers might just end up having to count on you.

[b]Name:[/b] Kenichi Settou
[b]Age:[/b] 15
[b]Description:[/b] A fairly short youth for his age, small and thin, and sporting a large mop of red hair with bright green eyes behind large glasses
[b]Personality:[/b] hates to lose, and despises people assuming that, because of his size, that he can't hold his own in a battle (or a fight) and is fully eager to prove people wrong. He also has a severe hatred for losing, his competitive streak a painful downfall
[b]Bio:[/b] As his name perhaps implies, Ken's family are Japanese, however this heritage stems a loooooong way back, and western genes have given his family red hair for generations. A basketball fanatic as well as a pokemon fanatic, Ken's family have often seen him as the "obsessive one" -- however, in school his creative talents have earned him numerous awards -- Ken's life has, aside from that, been pretty boring. Go to school, keep your nose clean, and get your grades, type of kid.
