Words and Terms to Know
- A Human partnered with a Digimon, Contracted together through the granting of a Wish. Sometimes also referred to as a "Contracted" by some citizens of the Digital World.
- Digital Monster, a creature made of network data and electrical pulses, they are still living breathing creatures. They become solid by granting the wish of a human. Digimon granted a solid wish still at times need to consume electricity and electronics such as mp3 players, computer components, and batteries.
- The Digivice for DIAL UP. It is based on a cellular phone. The D-Phone uses various button combinations to perform actions. Though you don't have to memorize or constantly put down button codes, the D-Phone's functions are as follows.
- Summon Digimon
- This substantiates the Digimon partner if stored within the D-Phone, or allows them to shed their Live Disguise. Uses a 4-digit code. In emergencies, the Digimon can break their own Live Disguise, though it takes effort.
- Call Digimon
- If the Digimon is far from the Tamer, this will call the Digimon to his/her partner. This is a one key maneuver.
- Evolution/Evolve
- Evolve the Digimon. The D-Phone will announce "Dialing Evolution, Dialing Perfect Evolution, or Dialing Ultimate Evolution" depending on what the Tamer wishes. To Evolve you must have gotten the signal for it ahead of time. Push the evolution key, then enter whatever the code is.
- Switch Evolution Path
- This will switch between the A, B, and C Evolution paths. Just press the evolution key to switch. All evolutions use the same code for each level.
- Final Charge
- The Digimon's most powerful attack, capable of defeating even Digimon higher in level given the chance. Though it can be used several times per thread, it's power drops with each use. One button, press the Charge Up key twice.
Depending on the user, the Final Charge can be activated in any way by the user. Though the double press is a valid motion, a true Tamer's Final Charge will be unique to them. Knowledge of the wish is what truly powers the Final Charge to greatness.
- Charge Up
- Empowers a Digimon's attack if held for the next post. The Digimon must rely on other techniques while the chosen attack charges up. Charge Up can be used with only one use of "Final Charge". One button activation.
- Signal Up
- Allows the use of a copied Signal, data obtained from battles and jobs to help a Digimon in battle. Signals can only be used once per thread.
- Digital Gate Open/Close
- Opens up Digital Gates to go to the Digital World, and closes them after use so no one can follow with that route. Digital Gates can only be opened before network devices, which luckily is most electronics. Voice operated.
Furthermore, a Digimon has three evolutionary paths they can take. At first the only option is Path A, but the D-Phone can be updated to allow the other two paths. They can only be gained in missions from The DJ.
- Signals
- When a Digimon is deleted, they turn into Digitama, and will be returned to the Digital World to the Primary Village. When this happens, a stream of code called a Signal will form around the egg. At this time, a Tamer can take that Signal into the D-Phone. However, if this is done, the Digitama of the fallen opponent is permanently deleted. Signals can upgrade a Digimon's abilities, adding attacks, space for attacks, and other things, so your character must decide what's more important, a potential life or power.
- Wishes
- When a human tells a wish to a Digimon, the Digimon will grant it only if they are allowed to link themselves to the human. This allows them to exist in the Real World. A wish must have power behind it, and must be something important. If a wish is considered weak, empty, or pointless, the Digimon will emerge and MAYBE grant it, but most likely they will be furious as the wish binds them to the Real World without an anchor point, making their existence unstable. This is how wild Digimon appearances happen. A Digimon summoned in this manner will eventually lose contact with the Real World and vanish, returning to the Digital World, but this can take time the civilians cannot afford.
When a wish IS valid, the Digimon appears with a D-Phone, and it then tied to that Digivice and the human user. A Digimon can be deleted many times and can always come back, their Signal protected if the human is still alive. if the human partner is killed, the Digimon will cease to exist. Because of this, the life of the Tamer is of highest priority to a Digimon, and it will boldly disobey orders and even abandon a battlefield to preserve that life.
- When a Contract is successfully made with a Digimon, it will give a Tamer two things. One is a small barrier to protect him or her from strong attacks. The barrier isn't all powerful and can shatter with enough force or action. The other is called the Digital Enhancement, or simply DE. The DE is an upgrade to the human to allow him/herself defense against other humans and Digimon. An enhancement is never really flashy, with only tell tale signs when it becomes active. This is because secrecy is important, and big flashy displays of power attract unwanted attention. Enhancements include small elemental manipulation, bodily enhancement, mental enhancement, stuff like that.
Acceptable ideas are higher body strength, telekinesis, telepathy, short range teleportation, super speed, small healing, sudden skill in weaponry, and transforming. Unacceptable ideas include lasers, transformation that also copies powers, big shows of energy, anything Dragonball Z-esque, Gurren-Lagann-ish, or simply over the bloody top. Remember, subtlety is the key here, being a Tamer and having a Digimon is supposed to be a SECRET.
Though subtlety is still key, some flashiness can be afforded with higher levels. DE's have three levels: Initial, Advance, and Unrestricted.
