Well, made an account a couple of days ago, but figured i might as well say hi first before showering you people with questions based on me not finding what i'm looking for ^^;

So umm... Hi?

*still trying to figure out the whole ban thing. x.x* Hello~... *falls over*

|EDIT| Ok, I'm going to delete the other posts... So here's hoping that doesn't affect anything. ^_^;

*shows off sig that got him banned twice now*

Heh, thanks for the help on that, by the way ^^;

*sees age, raises eyebrow*

NO! Are you as old as i am? And i thought i'd be stuck being one of the oldest people on RP forums!

Oh my no. I thought I was always going to be the oldest. However, judging by the month you were born, you're still older than me. lol. I was born in 1979... in June. XD;

Heh, got you there.

January 18th here

*Ban Counter hits 4*

Oh well, thanks for editing my Profile for me ^^;

Edit: Okies, i have a couple of questions so far, so i'll start with the main ones.

- If i'm planning to be one of those people that have a Digivice, what forms to i need to apply for? Guard Tamer? Guard Digimon? Both?
- Do i need to have one of those D-Tank thingies, or is it just recommended?
- What's Zeo, considering it's in the Tamer's section...?
- Can i start out as being Unaffilated to any of the listed power groups (as in, roleplaying joining one later on)

Um...hi?

Just look at a Tamer profile, and copy that.

Highly recommended, unless you have another sort of transport you rather use.

Zeo is a special power.

Only way you can do that is by being a civilian first.

Ah i see... So Zeo is more of a special attack only people that start out without a Digimon can get, right?

Okay, thanks for the heads up. Now the hardest part:

The Background.

I've been over the Story and History a couple of times, but i honestly have no clue what can be considered common knowledge for a 23 year old character. I'm having a hard time figuring out how old my char would have been when thisandthat happened, and if she'd know about it in the first place... She isn't supposed to be totally ignorant, but i don't want to have her seem omniscient after all ^^;

And we all know how much you people hate to see N/A and amnesiacs in that section...

Noo..everyone has a Zeo. It is usually civilians that tend to keep them inhibited using medication or lack of use. There are all kinds of Zeos, from offensive, defensive, curative, stat boosting, stat reducing, and stat inducing. They can be elemental as well. Think of mutant powers from comic books then tone them down to non-god-like levels and set them up on a level base system from level 1-3, increasing in strength and/or effects.

Example:

Ryota's zeo allows him to produce and manipulate fire. Though he can produce it in areas of low to no oxygen, underwater, and in rain, that requires him to put much more energy into it, and therefore reduces the amount of time he can produce fire without tiring himself out.

At level 1 fire can come from his hands, feet, and mouth. (Last being a Digimon ability) Heat vents appear on the back of his hands and the top of his feet. Digimon equivalent of the Adult/Champion level.

At level 2 he can produce more flames, and a pair of fire wings appear on his back, allowing flight. His attack and defense power also go up. Special ability includes offensive boosting to select people at the cost of his own power. Digimon equivalent of the Perfect/Ultimate level.

At level 3 he can produce even more fire from just about every part of his body, and he's covered in a biometal heat armor that along with his now longer hair, gives him a beastial appearance. High offense and defense, makes a good tank. The problem is is that there is a probability he'll go berserk as soon as he enters this stage. Level 3 will usually come with some sort of backlash of power as it's supposed to allow humans to stand up to Ultimate/MEGA level Digimon.

As for what a civilian character needs to know..even though schools teach history, knowledge of the past..five or so years should cut it. She should be able to know about the last of the CAIN War, Sin, the Dark Five, Kishinmon, Ghaleonmon, and the Final Battle of Ground Zero.

Ah okay, thanks for the heads up.

Also, are Zeo skills pretty much decided at birth, or do they form over time to either complement a favored attack or counterbalance a weakness?

Bluntly put, can, for example, a Digimon born with Metal Element DNA (which is weak to Lightning) have a Zeo that's lightning-based? Or could a Plant-type Digimon have a Fire-based Zeo?

Regardless of it being a good idea or not, i'm just using these as examples. So put away the rotten tomatoes, please ...

Also, i was wondering on how an applying Guardian Tamer actually gets his hands on both a Digimon and a Digivice. Can the Tamer bring his own Digimon, or are they assigned? And how can a civilian get his hands on a Digivice to get his Digimon up to Adult level to even meet the joining requirements? Blackmarket one?

Also, do you have to splice DNA to evolve Digimon, or can they do so using their own gene pool, so to speak? In this case, are they able to evolve from Child to Adult over time, without introducing multiple strands of other Frame DNA types (including ones they already have)?

We've had this discussion between ourselves as well. My theory was that while everyone was born with the power of a Zeo, it is not formed until childhood. Events and wishes made by the child can influence what the Zeo becomes later when it shows up. Suki's Zeo is a Healing Zeo. She always wanted to help others and wanted to heal, not hurt. So her Zeo became one that allowed her to help heal others. Carrie's Zeo is an explosive fire-type. If you've ever heard of or seen the MOVIE "Carrie" then you get Pyrokenesis. Hers didn't show up until after a very traumatic event and it was after holding her emotions in for so many years because that's how she was raised. Now it's harder to control and gets more dangerous when she's highly emotional... equalling a highly volatile Zeo.

Emotions and Wishes... As well as Environment can indeed influence Zeos.

Amyante:  (incidentally, the last bit of text was pasted from the post i made )
Yoshino Suki: Well.... The Digimon can Blast Evolve to Adult Level without a Digivice, so a Digivice isn't necessary for a Digimon to Evolve. Actually.... a Digimon can Blast Evolve to almost every level. They can evolve on their own without a Tamer. It's happened in battles against Non-Tamered Digimon. (It's a term if I want it to be. >_>; )

Suki had Yama before she became a Tamer. Quite a few Tamers were actually friends/"partners" with their Digimon before becoming a Tamer. I do believe you're given a Digivice when you apply in order to pass the tests. You may not be able to keep it all the time until you have passed the Entry Exams and become official, but I'm sure you have access to them for said tests and the like because there's different skills that require use of a Digivice.

"Aging" per se? Not sure, but I know what I just said kind of also answers this.

...............I should post this before Cam thinks I'm really dumb for some reason. XD

Again, thanks for the heads up. Yet the horror continues, i fear:

So umm... From the Digimon's point of view, what does the Digivice do, except give the Tamer the ability to mess with the Digimon's DNA and 'force evolve' them?

Also, about these Digivices... If a Tamer 'goes rogue', would the other Tamer's Digivices be able to pick up the DNA of his/her Digimon, even if it'd be in a evolution stage that wasn't known at the last sighting of it (like adding DNA, or having hit a new evolution level)?

And would the scanner on the Digivices automatically detect any nearby Digimon?

Basically, a bunch of questions on how the scanner function works, and if there's a system in place to prevent Digivices from falling into the hands of people you really don't want to trust them to. Then again, All-Sin's army had Tamers as well, unless i misread those Season 2.5 / 3.0 threads...

The old seasons were on other boards. ^^; Yes, Sin's army had Tamers. 5 of them. 2 of them have been killed, 2 are still around, 1 is currently unable to be found.

-Yoshino Shugotenshi and Kurotatsumon
-Nima Daisuke and Silvmon & .... Cam's gonna kill me for forgetting the other one. ^^;
-Wolfgang Reinhart and Nyxmon
-Seth Tyranus and ........It was a snake.
-Trash and ............again. Blank.

..............Forgive the blankness. x_O; Today was end of Term. Brain is not focusing on anything but the happy dance. ^^;

|EDIT| I found the pics AFTER I posted. >_>; As usual.
Seth and Vipermon.

.....Still can't find the pics of Dai's partners I know Cam did. x_X

Nor Trash's. >_>;

X_X Lemme take a whack at this..

Digimon do not have Zeos. HUMANS do. The Zeos exist to balance the power between human and Digimon.

Digimon can indeed Digivolve naturally. In fact their evolution is not much different fron the evolution of Zeos. They evolve based on ideals, emotions, and the like. The point of using DNA is to go far beyond what they are capable of. Not many Digimon are capable of Digivolving to several forms, and those that can are either very old or have trained themselves nearly to death. Not to mention that Digimon normally cannot adapt to a situation quickly. The Digivices help them get around that limitation.

The Digivices are all monitored by a satellite in space. In fact one of the reasons there's even a space station is to maintain the satellite. If a Tamer goes rogue, the satellite can track the Digivice of said Tamer and with a command from either a council member or the benefactor of this series of Digivices (Yukito), can shut OFF the Digivice, keeping the rogues from using weapons or evolutions.

The Digimon signs a waiver before becoming a Guardian allowing a Tamer to manipulate their DNA. If a Tamer is found for malpractice, the Digimon can and usually will sue. A backup of the Digimon's DNA is always kept by the system for such occassions. The reason Digimon are willing to do this is because they are to an extent immortal. If you kill a Digimon, they just become a Digitama and start all over again. If you kill a human...that's the end of that story. Guardian Digimon will usually have a cut off option for evolutions, or can break out of an evolution by force of will.

About detecting nearby Digimon, not automatically, as Digimon are everywhere. if the Digimon is specifically targeted, it will go off automatically, or if the Digivice is told to show all Digimon signals by the Tamer or Digimon.

In terms of security, Digivices are automatically set to the Guardian's DNA signature as well as that of the Digimon it applies to. No one else outside of a council member and the benefactor can use a Digivice. Users can also set an "allowance list", an option that allows select individuals to use a Digivice. Most Guardians will allow a couple trusted family members or a significant access. If someone else tries to use it, the Digivice will not respond. Consistent illegal use will cause the Digivice to go into Emergency Mode, which changes it's colors and causes it to give off a constant and loud signal, warning everyone around the user as well as alerting the satellite.

Blast Evolution is affected by emotions and is only temporary. The Digimon will always devolve to the level they evolved from once they get tired.

And to Jess:

Daisuke's second partner is Komodomon.

Trash's partner was Rabidmon.

To Cam: *^^* Komo... why could I not find/remember Komo. ^^;;;

....And I don't think I remember us ever mentioning Trash's partner's name in his normal form. X_x; Am I dumb or just senile?

Thanks for the heads up -- again... ^^;

As for my sheet... Well, it's geting there. The Background requires a bit of time since it's ending up to be quite a lot bigger than intended.

Yet that's never been a problem. If it gets too blatantly long, i'll move the entire section to the bottom, so looking up some info won't ultimately result in a massive scrollfest .

Oh well, as long as i'm happy with how it's ending up (and you agree when reviewing it) it's all good, right? ^_^
