As I had promised earlier, I was going to start a Digimon RPG when I found the right RP Forum and so I have. To start, I will post the story, then the rules, and character profile template. Lastly, I will then post what characters have been submitted so far.
The Story
Change is occurring all throughout the Digital World, driven by a force none can identify. It started when the Digital World was forced outside of time, bringing all sorts of catastrophic changes everywhere. The Digital World became larger and more complicated by the day, its normal flow of data from the Real World, our world, replaced by a flow of data not from the same world, but from all worlds and all periods of history in our universe. New types of digimon arose to inhabit the new places that were grown and built, and with all this, inevitably came conflict.
There were those who longed for the way things were, who waged war against those who believed that the changes wrought to this world were ultimately for the better. Then there are those who sat in the middle, seeking only to carry on the task of simply living. Many wonder how and why all this happened and who or what caused it. No one can tell if the root of all this change was good or evil, intentional or unintentional, preventable or inevitable. Those investigating this matter have also realized the need for those who are capable of protecting the Digital World from self-destruction and have called forth those from the real universe who are believed to be able to accomplish this task.
However, those who wreak havoc and chaos for their own gain have also called out to those who can help them in their fiendish plots. Both of these opposing forces of order and chaos have reached across the veil not just to our time, but to all times seeking those from the past, present, and future, from Earth and other worlds inhabited by humans. The storm has come, and has been here for a long time, it is about to get worse, balance and order must be restored before the whole of the Digital World and perhaps even our universe is consumed and destroyed by Chaos.
--------------------
The Rules
Essentially, the Digital World had become a very large and complex place due to one event; this event forced it outside of time, allowing information to flow in from all periods of history and all places in our material universe. So, when you create your character you have much more freedom since you can create anyone from virtually any kind of world in the material universe, from any walk of life.
You cannot include any more than a few trinkets from your origin, no weapons of any kind allowed.
All character profiles must be approved by the GM (Me) before they can be used
The periods of history from which your character would come from range from the 1930's, when the first electronic device was created, to the period of history my character comes from, the 41st millennium. Any character can come from any time in this range, and given the incredible diversity of humankind in the far future, just because your character cannot come from medieval times, does not me he or she can come from a world which has regressed technologically to a medieval level. You may also feel free to have your character
