Xianmon (Solo Custom Line)

Species: Lianqimon
Appearance:
Lianqi is the Chinese pinyin for “Qi refining,” which is exactly what Lianqimon does. The Qi refining, or Qi Condensation stage is one of the, if not the first stage in a cultivator’s path to immortality. In this stage, the cultivator gathers Qi from the environment, and refines it within the Qi Pool, Lake, Sea, or whatever the author decided to call it, which is found in the cultivator’s dantian (located down and to the left of the navel), circulating it throughout the body via the meridians- Think Chakra from Naruto, except constantly increasing. The more Qi the cultivator has refined, the more powerful they are, and is referred to as the cultivator’s cultivation base. As most stages of cultivation, Lianqi is divided into nine ranks, which are grouped into the three sub-stages of early, mid, and late.

In Lianqimon’s case, what he thinks of as Qi is simply data, which he is capable of absorbing from the environment, unlike many Digimon who absorb from the digicore of their defeated foe. From there, the data is refined into a form usable by Lianqimon, and added to his cultivation base which can be found in his digicore. Like a normal cultivator, the more Qi he stores, the more powerful he gets- A rare case of a Digimon gaining power without digivolving. Of course, in return for this benefit, Lianqimon begins at a much lower point than others of his rank, barely able to use even a single ability without needing to recharge.

Lianqimon’s form is humanoid, so human that he even fools himself into thinking that he is one. However, what is on the inside, is completely different. For one thing, in his dantian is a Digicore, which gradually fills with the data he calls Qi. From there, a series of vein-like meridians as described by Chinese medicine bring the Qi through his body, as the circulatory system does for blood. As a beginner, however, Lianqimon has only scratched the surface of how to use Qi, and can only use it to reinforce his body or imprint a talisman with that ability.

The specific appearance of Lianqimon is a child, of obvious Chinese heritage, clothed in an old-fashioned style- Nearly no Xianxia stories are set in the modern era, after all, rather being set in ancient imperial lands where swords remain the king of weapons. His apparent age of around 10 years old is due to that being the age which many Xianxia main characters begin their journey- Old enough that their mind can learn, yet young enough that their body can as well.


Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Nature Spirits
Type: Qi Refining

Fighting Style: Lianqimon fights all out in close quarters, relying on his powerful, Qi reinforced, attacks and defenses to take down his foes with haste.

Abilities:
Cultivation Base - Lianqimon’s abilities do not have cooldowns, including abilities such as healing which usually would require a cool down. Instead, each ability has an associated Qi cost. A Qi cost of 10 is equivalent to 1 post of cool down when comparing two abilities with the same effect. Lianqimon’s maximum Qi Pool is equivalent to his current post count, and caps at 75 posts. Lianqimon recovers Qi at a rate of 9% per post.

Qi Reinforcement (Offense) - The simplest and most effective technique in Lianqimon’s arsenal, he circulates Qi through a limb and strikes. While most cultivators have inherited proper martial arts, Lianqimon is self taught, and so his techniques are simple, yet effective. Costs at least 5 Qi, but the amount spent can be increased to increase the power of the blow, up to 35 Qi.

Qi Reinforcement (Defense) - The simplest and most effective technique in Lianqimon’s arsenal, he circulates Qi through a limb and guards. While most cultivators have inherited proper martial arts, Lianqimon is self taught, and so his techniques are simple, yet effective. Costs at least 5 Qi, but the amount spent can be increased to increase the power of the guard, up to 35 Qi.

Talisman Creation - Lianqimon is capable of storing Qi in talismans for use by others. A talisman is a single use item which, when used, activates Lianqimon’s Qi Reinforcement ability. Each talisman costs twice as much Qi to create as the stored attack’s value, therefore this ability has a minimum cost of 10 Qi. Talismans are permanent items which persist between threads, and can be a life saver in a pinch. Talismans can only be used by characters other than Lianqimon.

Digivolves To:Zhujimon

Species: Zhujimon
Appearance:
Zhuji is the pinyin for Foundation Establishment, an early, yet important stage of a cultivator’s growth. A house built on a rotten foundation will soon fall, and the same is true for cultivation. In this stage, a cultivator builds a foundation within their dantian, the precise form of that foundation depending on the author’s creative liberties. In addition, the cultivator continues to refine Qi just as they had as a Qi Refining cultivator, increasing their cultivation base until they are prepared to form their golden core.

In digivolving, Lianqimon establishes his foundation, fundamentally altering his digicore. Now, instead of the traditional sphere belonging to other Digimon, Zhujimon’s digicore contains nine sturdy pillars arrayed in a ring. These pillars are made of condensed Qi, and replace the Qi Pool, with the increased density allowing for greater storage. As Zhujimon progresses, these pillars grow, and eventually will become the basis of his Golden Core. Of course, none of this can be seen without cutting Zhujimon apart, and he would prefer you did not.

The other major development which comes as a result of digivolving is the birth of Zhujimon’s Divine Sense. Divine Sense is a special ability of cultivators which typically is learned at a later stage, but true main characters always cheat by learning it early. Divine Sense is extremely versatile, allowing a cultivator to observe things at a distance, communicate nonverbally, control items remotely, and very importantly, it can be imprinted on items to mark them as property. Many items will simply not function unless the user first removes any existing Divine Sense imprint before adding their own, including the ever useful storage items. Sadly, as of now, Zhujimon’s Divine Sense is too weak to be of use in combat.

The transformation from Lianqimon to Zhujimon is the first and only major change in his outward appearance, a transformation from child to adult- Self explained by the Mon himself as being due to his Cultivation Base being too big for the body of Lianqimon, therefore his growth was accelerated to match. He’s not completely baseless, as such developments have occurred in Xianxia novels, albeit rarely. In addition, his outfit changes from that of a peasant, to a robe such as would be worn by imperial scholars (Secondary reference image), a traditional outfit for cultivators, and on his finger is a ring, an infinitely useful storage ring which allows Zhujimon to easily keep his items on his person. However, beneath this image, he is still the circuit of a Digicore and Meridians he was as a Rookie, albeit larger and more powerful.

While Zhujimon has no weapon of his own, his ability to obtain crafting materials through battle and forge them anew means this is likely not for long.
Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Nature Spirits
Type: Foundation Establishing

Fighting Style: Zhujimon continues Lianqimon’s style of infusing martial arts with Qi. These martial arts can range from unarmed, to any weapon Zhujimon gets his hands on. Swords are traditional, but if he wants one, he’ll have to fight for it.

Abilities:

Cultivation Base - Having broken through to Zhujimon, his Cultivation Base can once more increase, to a new maximum of 150. In addition, the amount of Qi necessary to equal a 1 post CD is now 20 Qi. Passive Qi regeneration remains 9% of the maximum.

Spoils of War - When battling a Digimon, Zhujimon marks one part of that Digimon’s base form, typically a part that is representative of that Digimon, such as Monochromon’s horn, Angemon’s staff, or perhaps just some ore from a Gotsumon. If Zhujimon wins the battle, as defined by the opponent either surrendering or being forced to revert to either a previous stage or to a Digiegg, the marked item is added to his inventory. This does not work on items that are not a part of the target’s base form, such as artifacts. Of course, while the item is added to his inventory, it is not permanently stolen from the original owner- It will restore itself on its own after a period of time, or by de-digivolving and redigivolving. Items obtained in this manner can be used as effectless artifacts, but do not count towards artifact limits. For items obtained from unofficial NPCs, that is, NPCs which do not come from NPC request, a moderator should check to ensure that this is not being abused, before concluding the edit request which adds them to the inventory.

Artifact Forging - By combining artifacts obtained via Spoils of War, as well as those obtained by other means, Zhujimon can forge useful trinkets. Zhujimon’s creations are not true artifacts, but rather pseudo-artifacts, which are weaker than other artifacts of the same grade. Given his current cultivation, Zhujimon can mostly produce low grade pseudo-artifacts, with the occasional pseudo-Mid grade artifact. Likelihood of a more powerful artifact increases with the quality of ingredients, such as if Zhujimon obtains aid and defeats (or watches the defeat of, more realistically) an Ultimate level Digimon, and for items that are significant to Zhujimon’s personal plot- Though the final result of the crafting including both rating and effects will be determined by a moderator, based on a provided list of items being used, accompanied by the intended end form of the item. Crafting an artifact results in a reduction of 15 posts for a low grade, or 22 posts for a mid grade.

Externalized Qi (Offense) - A massive advantage of entering Foundation Establishment is that Zhujimon’s Qi can now be used outside of the body, for many purposes. In daily life, this allows the cultivator to utilize what is essentially telekinesis, lifting objects or wielding weapons such as the traditional flying sword without touching them. It can also be used to amplify attacks, as though wearing a gauntlet made of Qi. Using it in this manner incurs a cost of no less than 10 Qi, and up to a total of 75 Qi. Using it for telekinesis, however, is free.

Externalized Qi (Defense) - A massive advantage of entering Foundation Establishment is that Zhujimon’s Qi can now be used outside of the body, for many purposes. In daily life, this allows the cultivator to utilize what is essentially telekinesis, lifting objects or wielding weapons such as the traditional flying sword without touching them. It can also be used to amplify guards, as though wearing a gauntlet made of Qi. Using it in this manner incurs a cost of no less than 10 Qi, and up to a total of 75 Qi. Using it for telekinesis, however, is free.

Talisman Creation - Like Lianqimon, Zhujimon can store his Externalized Qi in a single use talisman, at the cost of twice that for using the ability. As this can be used as a versatile attack or defense, it can make for a valuable life-saving treasure. Talismans are only usable by a Digimon other than the talisman’s creator.

Digivolves From: Lianqimon
Digivolves To: Jiedanmon

Species: Jiedanmon
Appearance:
Jiedan is the pinyin for Golden Core, the next typical stage in a Cultivator’s path. In this stage, the cultivator forms a golden core atop their foundation, bringing them one step closer to immortality, and their strength to a new level. It is also typically in this stage that a cultivator awakens their Divine Sense. It is also considered one of the first true steps into immortality, due to the associated increase in lifespan.

In Jiedanmon’s case, the golden core is formed around his nine foundational pillars, fusing with his Digicore to create a Golden Digicore. Other than having a cool name, it doesn’t do all that much. In fact, other than his power level and Digicore, Zhujimon, Jiedanmon, Yuanyingmon, and Xianmon appear identical. Internal alchemy is, after all, internal. However, strength speaks, and so even if no changes are apparent, the changes that happen are significant. Possibly the most significant changes of all are the qualitative changes to his ability to circulate Qi, which grants two valuable abilities- The first is to add elemental attributes to his externalized Qi, and the second is to manipulate Qi in order to fly unaided.

Additionally, with the strengthening of his Divine Sense, it is now ready for use in combat. As a refresher, Divine Sense is a miraculously versatile thing. Uses include a massive perception enhancement, the ability to see things that are hidden or have no form- To the point of being able to predict opponent’s moves by both body language and the flow of data in their body. In addition, it retains its functionalities of marking possessions and communicating silently and from a distance.

Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Nature Spirits
Type: Golden Core

Fighting Style:
As a cultivator, Jiedanmon relies on his own body and power over everything else. Having obtained the power of the five elements, Jiedanmon’s Qi now contains an even more destructive power..

Abilities:

Cultivation Base - In the same manner as Lianqimon and Zhujimon, Jiedanmon’s cultivation Base is equivalent to his post count, capping at three hundred. The amount of Qi necessary to equate to a 1 post CD has once more doubled, to 40, but th regeneration remains 9%.

Divine Sense - Divine Sense is practically a cheat ability, allowing Jiedanmon to have nearly unparalleled observational skills, to the point of being able to read the energy flow behind an opponent’s attack, thus giving insight into an opponent’s choice of attack. Alternatively, it can be used to see objects hidden outside of the line of sight, or even the path through a maze. Finally, it can also be used to silently transmit messages to others. The maximum range of Jiedanmon’s Divine Sense is a number of meters equivalent to half of his current cultivation base.

Spoils of War - Works exactly the same as for Zhujimon, except as an Ultimate Digimon, he is capable of battling stronger foes.

Artifact Forging - With an increase in cultivation, Jiedanmon’s artifact forging skills have increased as well. His pseudo-artifacts now are mostly Mid grade, with power between a Weak and Strong artifact. If his materials are poor, the result will almost certainly be low grade, but if lucky, he may be able to create a High Grade pseudo-artifact, which is just weaker than a Strong artifact. Crafting costs 30 posts for a mid-grade pseudo-artifact, or 45 posts for a high grade one.

Five Elements Qi (Offense) - Continuing to learn and grow, Jiedanmon can now grant the Qi he releases elemental properties based on the traditional five elements of China, Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, and Wood. Furthermore, these elements interact according to the two Chinese elemental cycles, the generative cycle and the destructive cycle. Due to the generative cycle wherein Wood generates Fire, which generates Earth, which generates Metal, which generates Water, which generates Wood, Jiedanmon’s Qi constantly cycles between these five elements, in this order. Furthermore, based on the destructive cycle, Wood conquers Earth, which conquers Water, which conquers Fire, which conquers Metal, which conquers Wood. By using an element which conquers that of the target, the effective Qi cost of the attack doubles. At least 20 Qi must be expended in order to use this ability, but more can be used in order to increase the strength, up to a total of 150 Qi.

Five Elements Qi (Defense) - Continuing to learn and grow, Jiedanmon can now grant the Qi he releases elemental properties based on the traditional five elements of China, Earth, Fire, Metal, Water, and Wood. Furthermore, these elements interact according to the two Chinese elemental cycles, the generative cycle and the destructive cycle. Due to the generative cycle, wherein Wood generates Fire, which generates Earth, which generates Metal, which generates Water, which generates Wood, Jiedanmon’s Qi constantly cycles between these five elements, in this order. Furthermore, based on the destructive cycle, Wood conquers Earth, which conquers Water, which conquers Fire, which conquers Metal, which conquers Wood. By using an element which conquers that of the attack being guarded, the effective Qi cost of the guard doubles. At least 20 Qi must be expended in order to use this ability, but more can be used in order to increase the strength, up to a total of 150 Qi.

Talisman Creation - Jiedanmon, as well, can store his power in a talisman at a cost of twice the ability’s. The element added is determined at the time of the talisman’s creation. Talismans cannot be used by their creator.

Digivolves From: Zhujimon
Digivolves To: Yuanyingmon

Species: Yuanyingmon
Appearance: Yuanying is the pinyin for nascent soul, a late stage level of cultivation typically only two or three steps before immortal ascension,and the last stage which is typically agreed upon as being a part of the process. As such, for our purposes, it will be the last stage before immortality. In this level, a cultivator refines his golden core into a nascent soul, which usually is a small body identical to the cultivator, which resides within their dantian. This stage can be considered half a step into immortality, for not only does their lifespan increase by several centuries, but the nascent soul can survive even if the cultivator dies, allowing resurrection without entering the cycle of reincarnation.

As for how this stage is represented in Yuanyingmon, first of all, his Digicore warps to the point of unrecognizability. It is no longer a sphere, but a miniature image of the human form projection which Yuanyingmon has always created. Of course, outside of his body, the only evident change is the drastic increase in the pressure exerted on those around him, unless he should choose to suppress his aura. This Digicore functions as a proper Nascent Soul, allowing Yuanyingmon to recover from the brink of death so long as he has Qi.

In many Xianxia series, around this stage in cultivation is where a very peculiar ability is unlocked- The Domain. A Domain is a powerful field generated by the cultivator based on their understanding of the Dao. As such, every Domain is unique, although popular choices include daos of space, time, life, or death. Yuanyingmon also has a Domain, though the precise attributes of that domain will remain unknown, as they will depend on his path up until that point.

Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Nature Spirits
Type: Nascent Soul

Fighting Style: With no proper Qi arts to learn, Yuanyingmon is forced to rely on the same thing as he always has- Self taught martial arts, supported by a nearly mastered usage of Qi.

Abilities:
Cultivation Base - Yuanyingmon’s cultivation base caps at 600. 80 Qi is now equivalent to a 1 post CD. Regeneration rate is still 9%.

Divine Sense - As before, although its range and power are at another level compared to before due to the increase in cultivation.

Spoils of War - It’s a good thing Yuanyingmon has a storage ring, because with his newfound power, he’ll be collecting more treasures than ever!

Artifact Forging - As he reaches the pinnacle of his profession, Yuanyingmon’s crafting capabilities increase as well. He most frequently comes up with High Grade pseudo-Artifacts, and rarely will create an artifact that is a true Strong Artifact. High grade pseudo-artifacts cost 45 posts to create, while Strong artifacts cost 77 posts.

Nascent Soul - Like a cockroach, a Nascent Soul cultivator simply does not die easily. Once per thread, if Yuanyingmon would be killed, he can instead expend 100% of his current Qi to resurrect at half health, with a minimum cost of 150 Qi- Although, given that he just used pretty much all his Qi, he’s still probably in a pinch. If he has less than 150 Qi, he remains as a soul until he has regenerated 150 Qi, and can Move but not attack or defend.

Domain - [TBD]

Qi Arts (Offense)- Yuanyingmon is a true expert, tested in battle. His martial arts and Qi manipulation have reached a new level- And while it may look all fancy with dragons and phoenixes flying all over the place, it is all derivative of the same basic technique. Follows the same rules as Jiedanmon’s Five Elements Qi (Offense), But the minimum cost is 40 Qi and maximum is 300.

Qi Arts (Defense)- Yuanyingmon is a true expert, tested in battle. His martial arts and Qi manipulation have reached a new level- And while it may look all fancy with dragons and phoenixes flying all over the place, it is all derivative of the same basic technique. Follows the same rules as Jiedanmon’s Five Elements Qi (Defense ), But the minimum cost is 40 Qi and maximum is 300.

Talisman Creation - Yuanyingmon continues to have the ability to seal his Qi arts in a talisman. At this level, not only is the element determined when the talisman is created, but also any flavor regarding how the attack will appear when produced. A life saving tool that makes a great gift for the younger generation, though as it costs twice as much as the ability it copies, it is best to not use unless it is certain that he has enough time to recover the Qi before fighting. Talismans cannot be used by their creator.

Digivolves From: Jiedanmon
Digivolves To: Xianmon

Species: Xianmon
Appearance:


Xian is the pinyin for Immortal, the ultimate goal of cultivation. As a Super Mega level, Xianmon can be said to be the ultimate goal for. a Digimon. Unlike the past wher his cultivation hit bottlenecks, Xianmon’s cultivation base will continue to grow endlessly. A fortunate thing, too- While Xianmon has refined his Qi Arts yet again, the fact remains that the power consumption of an attack at this level is far greater than it has ever been before.

His Nascent Soul, his Digicore, has been tempered by the Heavenly Tribulation, evolving into an nigh indestructible Immortal Soul- While data can still be absorbed from his broken body, he will rarely be returned to the state of a Digiegg, his body reforming as his Qi reaccumulates. Furthermore, his will has solidified, to the degree that merely by wishing it, change can be brought to the natural order.

While his external body shows no changes from the time he reached the Champion level, the Xianmon exudes the unmistakable aura of a Digimon who has reached the pinnacle of existence.


Immortal cultivation is, at heart, the path of defying the heavens- The heavens set a lifespan, but the cultivators refuse to accept that fact. Having faced the Heavenly Tribulation and become an immortal, Xianmon can said to have completed that defiance- And if the heavens are unable to make him back down, then who is qualified?

Of course, the answer to that question is, of course, fellow Super Mega Level Digimon.

Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Nature Spirits
Type: Immortal

Fighting Style: A terrifying opponent, Xianmon bends the very laws of the world into his ally. Combine that with perfected Qi control fused with martial arts, and the ability to craft items heard of only in legends, and this Immortal becomes a deadly foe.

Abilities:
Immortal Cultivation Base - Xianmon’s cultivation limit has soared, peaking at 2000 posts. His regeneration speed is still 9% of his maximum Qi per post, with 160 Qi being equal to one post of CD.

Immortal Soul - Xianmon’s Nascent Soul, tempered by the Heavenly Tribulation, has become an Immortal Soul. When Xianmon’s body is destroyed, his soul remains- Although data can be absorbed from the destroyed body, as per normal combat rules. As a spirit body, Xianmon can use any ability except for his Immortal Arts. When Xianmon has recovered to his maximum Qi, he may spend 75% of it to recreate his body at half health. As a spirit, Xianmon is immune to physical attacks, but can be destroyed- Especially by an attack which especially targets spirits or souls.

Divine Sense - Xianmon’s Divine Sense only has one way to grow, and that is more powerful. Like before, the range continues to be equal to half of his post count.

Spoils of War - Just because he’s immortal, doesn’t mean he’ll stop collecting! It just happens that his targets, and thus rewards, are higher tier than ever.

Immortal Artificier - At the pinnacle of crafting, Xianmon can create miraculous items- Pseudo legendary equipments that are weaker than a true Legend but stronger than a Strong artifact are his trademark and primary source of income. Once in a blue moon, he may produce a true legend, a work which will leave its mark on history. Pseudo-legendary equipment cost 60 posts to create, and upon creation of a legendary artifact, 90 posts will be deducted.

Immortal Domain - [TBD]

Immortal Arts (Offense)- Xianmon has reached the pinnacle, and his Qi Arts have no choice but to grow with him. While they appear to be multiple types of attacks, the truth is that all are based on how he manipulates his Qi. Follows the same elemental rules as Five Elements Qi (Offense) and Qi Arts (Offense) but the minimum cost to use is 80 Qi and maximum cost is 600 Qi.

Immortal Arts (Defense) - Xianmon has reached the pinnacle, and his Qi Arts have no choice but to grow with him. While they appear to be multiple types of defenses, the truth is that all are based on how he manipulates his Qi. Follows the same elemental rules as Five Elements Qi (Defense) and Qi Arts (Defense), but the minimum cost to use is 80 Qi and maximum cost is 600 Qi.

Immortal Talisman - Containing a single attack from a Super Mega level Digimon, Xianmon’s talismans are certainly worth the price, especially as the only cost to their creator is Qi equal to twice that of the stored attack. As before, both the flavor text of the attack and its element are decided during creation, but notably, these talismans contain a sliver of Xianmon’s will, allowing them to activate automatically, as well as to be an offense or defense based on the situation. Talismans cannot be used by their creator.

Immortal Will -
- Meng Hao

Immortal Will is the most heaven defying of Xianmon’s abilities, quite literally. By sheer force of will, Xianmon overthrows the laws of nature, changing the very rules upon which the world is predicated. Once per thread, Xianmon can make a simple statement on a similar level to “Jogress is Forbidden” or “Data defeats Virus,” and for the remainder of the thread, the world shall follow that rule. This is Xianmon’s trump card, and the usage of it can easily flip a battle on its head. This ability shares a range with Xianmon’s Immortal Domain, equal to half of Xianmon’s cultivation base in meters. In addition, opponents with a postcount 20% higher than Xianmon’s can spend a post suppressing his will with their own, freeing themselves from the effect.
