The Digital World. A parallel universe that exists alongside our own, in secret... almost in it's shadow. The Technological Age was the birthplace of this world, as all data, all information that can be found on the internet itself, has been engraved into the Digital World, taking the form of places... as well as the living beings that exist there.
Those beings, nicknamed "Digital Monsters," or "Digimon" for short, were highly adaptive, evolving creatures, who lived in a way similar to animals--they came in all shapes and sizes, and dwelled within many environments. Additionally, possibly as a result of the sources of their growth and adaption, they became vastly intelligent, rivalling that of the human's own.
Some became too inteligent for their own good. Charismatic Digimon drew others to them, like metal to a magnet. And some didn't have the purest intentions at heart--one such being was a creature known as Devimon. He sought to control the Digital World in it's entirety, and attempted to extend his forces over the whole of the island which he dwelled in.
The organization he had fostered came to be known as "Chaos." It reigned surpreme, with his forces expanding with each passing second, as did his territory. As Chaos' influence continued to spread, another charismatic Digimon took up arms against it, in the one place that Chaos' evil hand had not held in a vicegrip--Freezeland, of File Island. More specifically, the Ice Sanctuary.
This Digimon's name? Angemon. His mission? To rid File Island of Devimon and his followers. His organization came to be named after their home--Sanctuary. Soon after it's formation, a great war that encompassed File Island in it's entirety waged, and Chaos and Sanctuary's forces fought to stalemate, each maintaining half of File Island as it's territory. Losses began to pile up, and the followers of the two groups began to widdle away.
Soon, the fight was carried on by three Digimon--Devimon, and his two followers, Devidramon and Garurumon, and Angemon, as well as his two followers, Greymon and Leomon. The battle that waged finally ended, with the two groups wiping one another out. The bloody war finally ended, with both sides defeated.
However, Devimon smirked, even as he began to fade out of existence. "You may have destroyed my body, Angemon... but my will shall continue to take this world by storm!" his final, chilling words rang true--Chaos and Sanctuary were no more. And there were far more evil creatures in this world than Devimon.
Darkness spread to the four corners of the Digital World--soon, a new Digimon, known as Sangloupmon, rose to power, commanding a legion of stronger, more powerful Digimon as his henchmen. Creatures that bore the appearance of normal Digimon, but bore no hearts or souls... artificial beings who sought only one thing--destruction.
The Digital World's God had once seen the Island dead to the world because Digimon attempted to intervene with the forces of darkness... and sought to see it no longer--the God called out to the parallel realm... to a set of youths, and sought to bring them to the Digital World.
Armed with the legendary Digivice, and partner Digimon to aid in their conquest of Myotismon's controlled areas, a new war is about to be waged... and whether salvation or ruin lay at the end of your path is completely up to you.

Rules

1. As in every other RP on these boards, read and follow the Board and RPing Section Rules.
2. Character alignment wise, we can have three "Good" Chosen Children, and three "Evil" Chosen Children. Keep in mind, these positions are not first-come-first-serve. I will be critiquing your profiles quite... maticulously.
3. I won't list ALL of the Digimon that are off-limits... but if you use one that is, I'll be sure to message you regarding it. Some play a critical role in the story, you see. The only ones I'll list, for sure, are Dracmon / Sangloupmon / Matadormon / GranDracmon, for obvious reason.
4. Digivices and Digimon Partnership will operate a bit differently this time. So... what will the Digivices be, you ask? The originals--the ones from Adventure, color-coded to differentiate the different character's Digivices. And for Partners, you are going to need two. Two Rookies, then Two Champions... and then a "Jogressed" (DNA Digivolved for those used to dub terminology) Ultimate.
5. Additionally, you can also Jogress one of your partner Digimon and another Player's Partner, or an NPC Digimon, together. Jogressed forms do not last, however--the strain on both of the partners causes them to de-volve after a certain amount of time.
6. Players will start out in the Digital World, specifically File Island. I'll leave it up to you where you start out, though.
[html=http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_areas_in_the_Digital_World][LINK][/html]
Here's a quick listing of Areas that may be helpful. The only ones that are Off-Limits are Overdell (Sangloupmon's base of operations) and Infinity Mountain (the site which Angemon and Devimon's war came to a tragic end).
Character development will occur throughout the story (specifically around Evolutions).
7. I reserve the right to Cattle-prod you into posting if you slack off. Similarly, you reserve the right to Cattle-prod me if I slack off as well. Now that I have steady nets again, I don't have any excuses lol.
8. ONCE AGAIN, this RP is not First-Come-First-Serve. I will be giving roles to those who meet my criteria. The most detailed bios get in. The others? Better luck next time.
9. Last, but not least, clear it with me before you decide to evolve your partners. Understand?
10. If you want to apply for the leading role of the evil alignment... pm me first. I have special plans for this character.

Name: Akira Takeshi
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Nationality: Japanese
Alignment: Good
Personality: Akira has been regarded as something of a parasite since he started Grade School--he latches onto people, and melds himself so that he can be accepted by them. But during all that time... he was hiding away who he really is. He's recently gone through a change, and is defying other people's expectations of him. The determined expression he now wears is quite foreign to him and his peers, and it paves the way to his new world.
Biography: Deep, black hair hangs about his face, a pair of blue eyes staring out at the world, from beneath his messy hair. He wears a black, turtle-neck-like shirt, with a slit in it's collar, and a pair of blue, almost flourescent lines running down from his shoulders to the ends of his sleeves. He wears a pair of blue jeans, and black, Vans-brand shoes, with white, bandana-like material sewn into the sides. He keeps a pair of large headphones around his neck at all times, it's cord running to an iPod Touch, tucked away into his pants pocket.
Akira grew up in a fairly normal house-hold--a loving father and mother, as well as a younger sister later in life to look up to him. His first year in Grade School, he came upon the false realization that in order for people to like you, you had to adhere to what they thought was acceptable. Because of this, his personality melded to whoever he was around, to be acceptable. Literally, the Akira that his parents knew and that his friends knew were two different people.
But soon, his mistake became clear--despite his lies, despite his attempts to making people like him, his friends eventually went their seperate ways. Now Fifteen, he has decided to do something slightly different--to be true to himself. To destroy the person whom he had created for his friends to adore, around Grade School. And to replace him with who he really was.
Summer Vacation was the beginning of this "Evolution," and his journeys in the Digital World itself would help to further create the person he hoped to see when he looked in the mirror.
