Roleplay / Digimon RP

Go To

A roleplay based on the Digimon franchise, adapting the Digimon Tamers series but as if it continued from the Digimon Adventure series, later on, Digimon Frontier was added to the mix. Digimon Data Squad is planned to be adapted once the Tamers season has been completed, though a few characters and ideas did made it to the RP before then. Not only the anime is playable in the RP, but so are the video games and manga. Most distinct of all is 'Digimon V-Tamer', from which came many an idea for the side-plot.

The storyline begins with that it is four years after the events of the 'World Tour' in Digimon Adventure 02 and 'Diaboromon Strikes Back'. This has opened the doors for more Chosen Children (otherwise known as Digidestined) to come into existence. By this time, Digimon has become a card game, and the mentioned events are now believed to be nothing more than a Publicity Stunt for the upcoming card game. The exceptions are the Digidestined (or Tamers as the 'new kids' call themselves) and the newly formed Anti-Digimon organization, Hypnos, created by The Government, who are out to delete all digital life. So the Digidestined have to deal with random Digimon who coming into the real world, and the Digimon The Men in Black. Sounds easy, right?

NOPE! It gets worse!

For them that is.

The remains of the Daemon Corps from Digimon Adventure 02 are also in the fry, led by the Demon Lord of Lust, Lilithmon. One of their plans involve freeing Daemon from the Dark Ocean. The said Demon Lord Digimon who gave the Digidestined a Curb-Stomp Battle. And how she going to do this? With her own corrupted Digidestined and Tamers, basically from Digimon V-Tamer. This includes Neo Saiba, who acts as an Evil Counterpart to Taichi, paralleling the plot of Digimon V-Tamer somewhat.

Not to mention Knight Templar, Victory Greymon. A variation of WarGreymon equipped with a different armor and a BFS, he is out to sever the bond between the Human and the Digital Worlds, not to mention the Digidestined!

The events of Digimon Frontier were originally omitted and weren't added to the storyline until the end of the first year of the RP's when a Dark Action Girl, Brainwashed and Crazy to serve the Daemon Corps obtained the Spirits of Water, in part due to Parallelmon inadvertently bringing the ten elements from Another Dimension. In a Nice Job Fixing It, Villain, this allowed for ENIAC to place another Call to Adventure to bring the Warriors back into the loop. On a hunt to retrieve their spirits, Takuya and the gang (along with Yutaka, Tommy's older brother) explored File Island and ran into trouble with Mad Scientist Analogman (from Digimon World). Later, it is revealed that the events from Frontier are actually events that have taken place in the ancient past of the Digital World with the Frontier gang being labelled as the first Digidestined due to Time Travel.

As of late, the RP has entered the Deva Saga of Digimon Tamers so Zhuqiaomon is now in the mix. The RP has also added a West Coast Team in America, where the American Digidestined (and a few Japanese Chosen transferred there) have to confront an Alien Invasion-theme Digimon armada.

The site can be found here. The Digimon RP has also brought forth a Crossover Spin-Off, Pokémon and Digimon RP at here.


This RP contain examples of:

  • Action Girl: Besides the normal tough female chosen children, there are Bad Ass Normal Lyn, Faith, and occasionally Kim who actually do fighting of their own.
  • All There in the Manual: A few characters's backstory are in their applications or possibly out of anime information.
  • Another Dimension: Besides the Digital World, it is discovered that there is a second 'digital world' called the Digital Plane.
  • Berserk Button:
    • TK whenever Darkness is present. Has a second one that triggers whenever Kari is in danger and shares the latter one with Tai.
    • Hikaru goes nuts when Parallelmon attacked his little brother figure Teru. This allows him to summon the Spirit of Earth and Spirit Evolve into Grumblemon.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Derek, Christa and Rei are being chased by yet another Mega, and suddenly, James Kessal and his partners come out of nowhere to help fend him off, and possibly give Christa the time she needs to unleash her Digisoul, even lampshading the trope OOCly.
  • Breather Episode: "Well, THAT was a massive waste of time!" is a stunningly appropriate thread title for more than one reason. It's a change of pace after the Aussie group was chased around by two megas, and gets somewhat silly at times, while also providing some character development... And Gender Bending.
  • Cyber Space: The Digital World, and even the Digital Plane.
  • Evil Versus Evil: You'd think with all the villains around they'll confront each other. The farthest that happened so far is just the bad guys are aware of the other and had meetings at times.
  • Goggles Do Nothing: Subverted that OC characters are not allowed to have goggles, though AU characters from other manga and video game are different. At least the players make them different from the main ones.
  • Have You Seen My God?: ENIAC, after helping to create the Digital World and guide Ryo in the Wonderswan Games, took a backseat while observing events in motion. Recent events has spurred the 'Watcher' to take action.
  • How Do I Shot Web?: Isaac isn't familiar enough with the Digimon game and often guesses what cards he should be using to help Commandramon.
  • Knight Templar: Goes to many, from Hypnos, Royal Knights, Anti-Human digimon, and even within the Digidestined!
  • MacGyvering: Of a sort. Keith's solution to the Brainwashed and Crazy problem in the Giga House, is to fiddle with his D3's alarm clock function, upping the frequency of the sounds emitted, and uses it to make a high-pitched sound to completely screw up the music controlling the bug Digimon. He also tries using it to mimic the music frequency with a different melody (Song of Healing, to be precise). Whether it even works... It doesn't. Thankfully, he didn't need to, as BlackGatomon sliced the computer's power cord right after his second attempt. He even remarks that he wouldn't have tried if he knew that the other Digidestined were trying to shut down the computer.
  • Mirror Universe: Accidentally discovered when an OC character got tossed by a Parallelmon into another universe. Multiple threads in the other universe focus on her attempts to return home.
  • Mons: Really? Shouldn't you know this?
  • Muggle: Besides the Government, Monster Makers and the Chosen's families, there are normal children who knows about digimon and are even part of their friend's adventures at times.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: A rather innocuous example - Keith makes a speech in order to help pump up everyone before the DarkMOON invasion. Unfortunately, he forgets that Tommy was in the audience and swears at the end.
  • Oblivious to Love: Kari actually kisses TK, and the boy still doesn't get it! Ash Ketchum, eat your heart out!
  • Older and Wiser: The original cast are viewed as Legendary Tamers by the current Tamers.
  • Olympus Mons: Certain Digimon partnered to the Digidestined have high ranking megas. Some of which includes the Olympus Twelve!
  • Original Character: Original humans (Chosen and non-Chosen alike) and Digimon are plentiful.
  • Put on a Bus: Done to quite a number of characters when their respective player leaves the RP. Sometimes they get picked up by other players but this doesn't happen too often.
  • Rescue Arc: The two threads dealing with saving Rika from Ice Devimon. Now we have saving Ken from the Daemon Corps.
  • Simultaneous Arcs: The many threads that take place at the same time but in different locations
  • Story Arc: While the RP has many threads, it can be dived into arcs;
    • Opening Arc: Has the original plot from the first few Tamers episodes while also having to deal with attacks from the Daemon Corps. Late in the 'arc', the Chosen children from Digimon Frontier appeared for a C-Story of their own.
    • Second Arc: The Digimon Tamers plot continues as they start the Deva Saga, while the Daemon Corps has become a Rescue Arc for Ken which involves the 'Legendary Tamers' and Legendary Warriors teaming up to challenge them. As of this arc, a new story surrounding the West Coast Team has started.
  • Tear Jerker: Rhythm's speech about her life as Nat-Chan and Rhythm, hurting people she cared for, but how Davis and Takuya helped her. And then she got a Disney Death. Lets hope her third life is a better one.
  • Tempting Fate: Keith lampshades this trope right after becoming a Digidestined and meeting his (rather stubborn) partner, but with very little idea of what's actually going on or what to do, resulting in a rather sticky situation.
Keith: Dammit, dammit, I have no idea how to get home, who to contact, or, for that matter, how to contact them. I'd say this day can't get any worse, but I'm pretty sure it will.
  • The Power of Friendship: Not much, but Henry does give a somewhat friendship speech to pep up Takato. Though it seems it hit Growlmon instead, who then somehow gained the energy to rampage through an ARMY of wild Digimon.
  • The Power of Love: Many relations seem rock right now, Love came through with Rhythm, who fell in love with Davis in her past life as Nat-Chan. This lead to her crush on goggleboys, namely Takuya and her Heroic Sacrifice.
  • West Coast Team:
    • Threads are starting in America now, where the chosen will have to deal with another Dark Lord, an Alien Invasion plus a foe Back from the Dead.
    • And slowly but surely, Australian Digidestined are beginning to enter the plot, with Keith and his partner (and Gazimon) accidentally running into the Frontier gang and the Digidestined travelling with them, as well as Derek from the Digimon World Tour, Christa and James going after him, while also escorting Rei and basically having the worst luck ever with Random Encounters.
