Discuss Digimon Eternity [RP Idea][M-LV]

[Darren]

[SIZE=1]Yes, I know... Another Digimon RP. This is being terribly over-done right now, but that's why I'm posting this in the underground thread first. This story has been lingering in my mind for the good part of a month, and last night, I was hit with a more detailed plot and setting, and I couldn't help but post it just to see how it would fare on the sign-up part. I know that right now, Jokopoko has a Digimon RP going and there have been a couple spin-off type RPs attempted, and I don't plan to create another one unless I get good feedback from everyone here. So here's what I'm going to do: I'll give you the intro that I've written out, and then I'll do my best to explain the current world of digimon.[/SIZE]

[CENTER]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/CENTER]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]Many years have passed since that first rag-tag team of digidestined step foot on the digital plane and saved both our worlds from sure destruction. In that time, many things have changed, and the world has been at peace for the first time in history. Now days, every child recieves a digimon at about four or five years of age, but no longer does anyone recieve crests or digivices; Everyone is a digidestined and at the same time, no one is. The digital world is now something that is only discussed under the topic of mythology and without crests or digivices, digimon remain in their Baby or In-Training stages and the digital world remains in-accessable and a complete mystery.

"What could have sparked this change?" You might ask... Well the answer is simple: One girl's love for the digital world.

It all started several years ago, when everyone had a crest and digivice and the world was open to anyone who pleased. Since the discovery of how the digital world worked, scientists began altering their technology to, in-turn, alter the face of the digital world and even create their own, "spliced" digimon to inforce a form of government, which was strongly needed since everyone had access to the world.

In the year 2006, a technological prodigy, in the form of a girl, slipped into the digital world and created her own spliced digimon to fight for her. Through the years, she created more and more splicers until she had an army at her command. Her greed grew and consumed her with darkness. She thought that she should be the only one to live in the digital world. So, like lightning striking the earth, her army attacked the residents of the digital world. They pushed back all the humans into the real world and sealed all the portals. She also altered the digital world to destroy every digivice and never create another one again.

Of course, this victory for the girl didn't come easy. There were still a few who found a way into the digital world, and their power only grew over the several generations that had passed. It was then that the girl decided the digital world was no place for any of the digimon either. Only the spliced monsters were to remain in the digital world, at her command. The rest, would be created in the human world. Her plan worked: Now every child recieved a digimon, and since everyone had a digital partner, people began thinking that the digital world and the human world had combined and become one and they gave up on trying to enter the digital world. They thought that someone must have saved both worlds again and there would be an eternity of peace. They were wrong.

While the real world is peaceful and at harmony, the digital world is equally converse. It's filled with hatred, chaos, and fear. This is the worst condition the digital world has ever been in, and the worst part is that no one knows about it. The year is now 2059, and our villian of the story made a miscalculation when she sealed the digital world. In recent events, eight digivices were sent throughout the world and the portals are about to re-open. It's now up to the first digidestined in five decades, to save both worlds once again.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]That's it. Now for the explination. I've only seen the first two seasons of Digimon and I obviously wanted to continue that story. This takes place in the same reality of the first two seasons. I'm sure that all you digi-buffs knows that in the finale of season 2, the adult T.K. talks about how everyone has a digimon since he and the others had saved the digital world. Anyway, this is long after their lifetimes, obviously. Technology has grown... A lot, and if you could imagine it, it's there. Moving sidewalks, hover cars, a terraformed moon, there are no illnesses, etc. I would let the people who join, work out the details of this technological world. And since technology is so great, you could only imagine how much the digital world has grown in almost 50 years. And of course it's in chaos. Most of the old digiatal world, is a wasteland, completely destroyed by the wars that took place between the splicers and the few digimon that remained there. It's impossible to keep up with the growing digital world. Therefore, the outer layers of the digital world are peaceful and vibrant with plant and digimon life. There are no splicers and these outer layers are similar to the old digital world. Ouside that, is a large ocean, complete with several thousand islands both large and small. And beyond that is the void, the nothing plane that is waiting to be created. This void plays a key role in my story. ;) Anyway That's about it... Please, leave comments, because I'm eager to create this RP, but I won't do it if it doesn't get good feedback. And I know that digimon RP's are way over-done, but this is a chance at a completely original and kind of different approach to the genre. :animesmil

P.S. This isn't really a must-know for the story, but this RP will be set up for a total of 8 players.

Also, instead of crests based on attributes of the digidestined, like in the past, (courage, reliablility, love, etc.) the new crests are based on things the digidestined are supposed to bring back to the digital world when they save it. (Liberty, Harmony, Freedom, and so on)

And the last detail: I've created and drawn out my own special digivice and it incorperates the best from all the digivices. There will be the use of eggs, DNA Digivolution, Scanning, and Spirit Evolution. As well as a new thing that I've created special for this RP called Void Devolution... However, I can't explain how that works because it would completely ruin the surprise. hehe! :catgirl: I have a lot in store for this story, so I hope some people are supporting! :animesigh[/SIZE]

I have to say that your idea sounds great. I planned a similar-kind of post-Season 2 fanfic myself when I was still hot on Digimon. ;D

If you want 8 Digidestined, maybe you should predetermine the 8 crests and make sign-uppers choose from them (instead of making their own). That way you can also control the names of the crest (the thought that they represent the things that the kids are trying to restore to the world is very cool).

Just don't have both "Liberty" and "Freedom", because, you know, they mean the same thing, heh. ;D

It's good that you make the game the way [I]you[/I] want it, not following the "canon" too succumbingly, but be careful that you don't godmod (tyrannize) your game to death. Some people in these Boards tend to do that, making the participants lose interest prematurely. Make some room for the other players' ideas too, and you'll have a winning concept at your hands!

Yes, I've done the whole "godmod" thing before when I first started and not many liked it. haha, now I know why. But yes, I've already created some of the crests. I've even drawn out some of them and I plan to scan them so eveyone can see later. I'll also scan on the digivice I've drawn once I make the RP. Haha, I didn't think about Liberty and Freedom... I have to be more careful when picking my crest names. But thanks for the input!

[DracoGuardian]

Personaly I find the idea very interesting and it looks like it would be really fun but I agree you should preset what the crests are going to be it will make things simpler in the long run

Well, you can count me in. There's been a general lack of the kind of RPGs I enjoy lately, so it's nice to see that someone's planning one I'd be interested in.

Just one thing. If the RPG is set only 50 years in the future, don't go too crazy with technology. Some technological advancement is fine, but don't let it get out of control. For example, there shouldn't be terraformed moons or other planets. I could see a colony on the moon in 50 years (though not necessarily an American one), but it would be a contained environment, similar to a space station. An don't have illnesses be completely eliminated, either. Treatment for diseases we have today is fine, but there will always be new diseases.

Anyways, aside from that, I think your idea's fine.

Haha, yeah... About that whole time thing: That was a mistake on my part because I did have it set like way far into the future, and then Jokopoko showed me the error in that and that it was a pathetic attempt at a sci-fi angle... So I changed the times, but forgot to edit everything else... Either way, all of the technological advances will be described by the players of the game, and most of it will be irrelevant to the story except to explain how large the digital world is compared to the first season or so...

Well, I'm decently proud of the results this thread is getting after two days, I think. Three comments in two days when most don't even bother themselves with the underground unless a sign-up requires it, is pretty good. So I think I'll start the RP, but not for a while, I still have to get all the kinks out of the story and figure out how I'm going to make it work, what with school starting and all. But I assure you, you will probably see something in the next month or so. I'll keep you posted. In the mean time, feel free, to continue with the comments or advice. And if you would like to contact me directly, to help out with the story and what not, just send me a message. It's much quicker. Thanks ^_^

P.S. Thanks Sandy, for the help with the crests. They're great and I've already drawn them all out!

[GuyYouMetOnline]

Well, I don't have any specfic ideas right now, but if you'd like some help with the story, or with getting things written up (I'm free for the next couple weeks, so I can do that. It'd help get this started sooner, right?), please feel free to ask me.

[Darren]

Alright guys,

I was thinking of adding this new RPG, but one of the main reasons why I was waiting so long is because I wanted to have a break from Digimon Threads for a while.... Elementals is already started... There's another one with about 70 posts, but I can't remember the name, and now there's a new one in the sign up. (I can't remember what the title is... A whole bunch of 1s and 0s) Anyway, that's just too many for my liking. I don't want to seem like the guy who's creating an RPG just to have people join and then seem like I'm copying those other people who put serious thought into their Digimon RPG...

In fact, that new one, kinda made me mad, because I've had this one posted up in the underground for quite some time, and I've even confirmed that I'll be making the RP, but then someone goes off and makes a sign-up... And maybe I'm just being paranoid, and I apologize if I'm out of line, but I'm entitled to my own opinions. It seems like the new one is a cheap knock-off from mine. Splicers... Evil fused digimon... It was obivous from my story on the underground thread that I was going to have digimon that were spliced (or fused) together be the baddies of the digiworld, but whatever..... T_T And I would post my own opinions about the new thread elsewhere, but there isn't an underground for it!

Also, it just seems like as long as you create a digimon thread, you'll get sign-ups. I mean that RPG had no real story that I could figure out... Some log entries about fusion, an experiement gone wrong... And that's all... Then it gives the sign-up info (stuff about spirits and tamers and what-not)

Anyway, I was planning to post this sign-up sometime soon, once I refined the story line with Takuya's help, but now I can't because it's too soon to Roxa's... That's why I was waiting until Jokopoko's got at least 25 posts... So, you could imagine how this will hinder my enthusiasm about posting another digimon RPG...

It was a nice sign-up, and there's no conformation that I won't start it, but for now. I'm going to hold off on it. Thanks everyone for your interest.

*EDIT*

Well, after my little rant, I feel kinda dumb. I didn't realize that that one in the sign-ups was necromanced... haha, okay... So everything that you just read... Forget it all, This sign-up thread will posted sometime soon, once I converse with Takuya on the story a bit. Have fun! (and now that I've said that it was a cheap knock-off and it was created before mine, it seems like mine is the knock-off) Oh well!
