Characters / Pokémon and Digimon RP

This is a list of the characters found in the Play-by-Post Games Pokemon and Digimon RP.

Heroes (Pokemon)

D-Sphere Holders

Ash "Satoshi" Ketchum (Red)

• Combat Pragmatist: Come on; hurling your Pikachu into the maw of an evil Digimon, so he could electrify his insides? Of course Red's this.
• Composite Character: His character is mix of both the anime, manga and game versions of him.
• Disappeared Dad: When Pearl was bragging about his father to Anabel, Red was thinking about his own and realized he never met the man.
• First-Name Basis: While most refer to him as his nickname Red, his closest friends call him by his real name.
• Oblivious to Love: Has no clue both Misty and Yellow are crushing on him!
• Superpowered Evil Side: Due to a run-in with Deoxys (slightly based on the Sevii Island manga arc) Red is now connected with Deoxys and tends to revert to a dark state, notably when angered a lot. The results can lead to what many Digimon Goggleheads have fallen to.
• The Empath: Has a strong bond with his Pokemon, stronger when he reverts to his dark self.

Millie Yellow

• In Harmony with Nature: Born and raised in a forest, she as Psychic Powers connecting with Pokemon.
• Horrible Judge of Character: While she doesn't make friends with the obvious evil psychos, she befriended Rika and Neo and ignored their faults. She also befriended the Team Rocket Trio during their Reformed, but Rejected, but that's understandable.
• Psychic Powers: Born in Viridian Forest, she has powers. Though mostly at being The Empath.
• Skilled, but Naive: While a dependable trainer, she can still be a bit childish.
• Sweet Polly Oliver: When wearing her hat, everyone think she's a boy.

Jimmy (Gold/Ethan)

• Do Not Call Me "Paul": Dislikes his real name, lies and says its Ethan while getting people call him Gold.

Crystal

• Girlish Pigtails: She wears pigtails that slant upwards. Though she's nowhere near childish.

Lucas (Diamond)

• Brilliant, but Lazy: Highly knowledgeable in Pokemon, but his brain stops working when Pokemon aren't involved.
• Teacher's Pet: He is Professor Rowan's assistant. Barry mostly calls him a teacher's pet.

Dawn "Hikari" Berlitz (Platina/Platinum)

• The Ojou: She only allowed her closest friends call her by her real name. Everyone else had to refer to her as Ms. Berlitz or Missy. But because she got excited that Kari had the same full name, many of the D Ds called her by her real name, much to her charging.
• Composite Character: Her character is a mix of the manga and anime...
• Catchphrase: Her anime catch phrase appears a lot.
  "No need to worry."

Their Notable Pokemon

Red's Pikachu

• Superpowered Evil Side: When Red reverts to his dark self, all his Pokemon close to him gets stronger and wild just as him, Pikachu especially!

Red's Charizard

• Obstructive Code of Conduct: Would prefer to use violence more often but does not attack without Red's order

Silver's Feraligatr

• I'm a Humanitarian: During a flashback, it was heavily implied that if Ariana didn't tell Silver about the Mask of Ice, Feraligatr would have eaten her... and Silver wouldn't have cared!

Ruby's Darkrai

• Didn't See That Coming: His plans more or less got derailed when Ruby and Celebi teleported in at the most inconvenient time. And then Ruby captured him. Whoops.

Mystery Dungeon Teams

Dayakkaiser the Ariados

• The Smart Guy: The self-professed brains of the group, and proves it, when he tries Cutting the Knot, and succeeds.

Heroes (Digimon)

Digidestined (Adventure/02)

Taichi "Tai" Kamiya/Yagami

• Big Brother Instinct: He still protective of Kari. Doesn't help that there's an evil digital dimension after her.
• The Determinator: As mention above, he charged through a damp castle using his own digivice to attack the Scubamons.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Not like Ash's, but Tai's emotions often get the better of him and results in his Digimon Dark Digivolving, not always with SkullGreymon though...
• Unlucky Childhood Friend: While nearly everyone (except his sister) believed he didn't made a big deal about, Tai secretly is bothered by it.

Agumon

• Playing with Fire: His element!
• One-Steve Limit: Due to many canon series, more than one Agumon is in the series. Though many have a variation, like Marcus' or Agumon X.
• Superpowered Evil Side: If Tai ever goes to the dark, Agumon goes into uncontrollable forms.

Yamato "Matt" Ishida

Koushirou "Izzy" Izumi

• Mission Control: With the Data Squad's equipment, Izzy has found himself in this role.

Mimi Tachikawa

• Innocent Flower Girl: She became a literal flower girl upon entering the Mystery World, and had a Half-Freaky Friday exprience with Palmon.
• "Truman Show" Plot: While its revealed that the Digimon Adventure is an anime in the Digimon Tamers universe, Mimi was hit by it the most.

Daisuke "Davis" Motomiya

• Butt-Monkey: Many people still make fun of him, especially when it comes to his massive crush on Kari. However, other characters now somewhat takes this trope away...which is alright with Davis.
• Declaration of Protection: Found himself in this situation with the V-Tamer version of Kari.
• Berserk Button: Seems to have gained a few , namely Shin being close enough (which triggers dark digivolution) and specially telling him that's his fault for having lost the digiegg of Friendship (which earns yourself a direct punch to the face).
• Malaproper: his malapropism could have gotten him in trouble, if not for a others to give out correct information

Digidestined Tamers

Takato Matsuki

• Kid Hero: Unlike most of the Goggleheads, Takato isn't an Idiot Hero.

Chika "Kristy" Damon

• She's All Grown Up: Though her brother calls her 'squirt', much to her annoyance.

Suguru "Spencer" Damon

• Did I Say That Out Loud: He reveals information too lightly. Might be a little rusty...

Manga & Game Digidestined

Taichi Yagami

• Butt-Monkey: A case bordering on tragic. He suffers a lot of indignities and his attempts to handle them just earn him grief from the rest of the cast, even from the villains.
• Let's Get Dangerous!: Diminished here but he still figured out the type chart and digimodify quickly
• Whole-Plot Reference: He recognizes a classic comic villain's scheme when no one else does

OC Digidestined

• Heroic Mime: Izanagi is prone to talking in his stead, but he does talk, and a lot more when Izanagi isn't around.
• Promotion to Parent: His relationship with Nanako for the most part, though Dojima is picking up the slack.

Izanagi the Kotemon

• Identity Amnesia: Definately has a past life, but he doesn't have a clue about it, which means...

Yosuke Hanamura

• All Love Is Unrequited: Although he crushed on Saki, she secretly hated him.
• Declaration of Protection: He swears to himself that he will become stronger, to protect Rui.
• Heroic BSoD: Yosuke reacts to seeing another person being killed in front of his eyes, well... fairly realistically.
• Love at First Sight: He explicitly says "where have you been all my life?" When he sees Rui. Unfortunately, this clashes heavily with Wes...
• The Fool: Not quite as stupid as Yuji, but he's close.

Jiraiya the Floramon

• Purely Aesthetic Gender: Claims this isn't true, and is perfectly willing to compromise her modesty to prove it, which is a bit weird.

Keith Windslow

• Ditzy Genius: He's highly skilled in electronics and programming, but he has a big mouth, and prone to say the wrong things around the wrong people...
• Idiot Hero: Oddly enough, this personality is paired up with a surprisingly keen intellect.

Tory Conley

• All Love Is Unrequited: To be fair, Tory and Rika have only just met, and she's only met one half of him, so to speak.
• Everyone Can See It: Despite attempts to dissuade, that single compliment towards Rika has cemented everyone else's opinion that he's at least got a crush on her.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: His "normal" personality in a nutshell.
• Love at First Sight: Towards Rika. Yes, Rika. Not joking, here.
• Once Done, Never Forgotten: Tory seems to be on the receiving end of a lot of mockery for Kanako sneaking into a Pokemon Centre hiding in a cardboard box, despite this not even being his idea. It becomes a rant rather quickly.
• "Stop Having Fun" Guy: The "Duelist" Tory, who is an arrogant jackass who will quite gladly abuse Game Breakers like Dragon's Pride when he gets the chance.

Kanako the Kanakomon

• Dark Is Not Evil: Much like Guilmon, her evolutions are virus types.

Desmon

• All Your Powers Combined: He's specialty, taking data and blood samples of his foes to trandform.

Dru

• Daddy's Little Villain: While Myotismon hates the chosen, he finds this psycho girl enjoyable
