Shadow Talisman

At the start of combat, your attacks gain 'Ethereal'. The first shield, per thread, that your attack comes into contact with is ignored, OR The first instance of your opponent's teleportation or intangibility is cancelled.

A dull gray stone on a metal string, said to originate from the Core of Darkness.

Burning Gauntlet
A silver bangle, adjusting to the size of a Digimon per form. On use, all attacks gain the 'Holy' element for three posts. Once per thread.

Belphemon's Lethargy
A crystallized version of Belphemon's aura. On use, once per thread, you may use an ability with a remaining cooldown of 3 or less, as if it were not on cooldown. The user may not use a technique in the following turn.

Ebonwumon's Grace
An impossibly sweet set of tea leaves grown in the ancient Digital World, held on a strong cord. On use, the user is healed by 10% over three posts (30% total) and attacks gain the nature element. Three post duration, once per thread.

Personality: At first glance, you can tell that Carlos is a naturally easy going individual, someone that can keep calm and collected in the face of danger. Sarcastic to a fault, always ready to make a witty remark.

Dig a bit further and closer however, and you'll see that there’s more than meets the eye: not only is he surprisingly approachable and friendly person, but also a bit of a hopeless dork at heart, with an unabashed love for cheesy old movies, videogames, and 80’s metal. He's never above making fun of himself or others, always in good fun of course, and although he’s rather patient if you manage to do something that really ticks him off or annoys him too much he’ll be quick to (angrily) call you out on it.

He’s not a person that plans ahead too much, instead preferring to go with the flow, letting life take him along and make what he feels are the best choices on the fly. They might not always be the best[/b] choices but…well, they’re choices, alright.

Appearance:



A tall and relatively well built man with dark brown eyes that are usually hidden by his rather large assortment of sunglasses. His bleached white hair (the end result of a dumb bet involving hair bleacher and actual bleach) stands out even more thanks to his naturally tan skin. Tends to wear leather jackets and jeans, regardless of weather or temperature. If not, most of his clothing consists of fairly simple hoodies and t-shirts, settling for whatever he finds more comfortable over what looks better.

FaceClaim: KING OF FIGHTERS • k’ • Carlos Rey

Personal History: Carlos is the only son of an Argentinean couple that had recently settled in New York looking for work. Since a very young age Carlos found himself interested in music, almost breaking his father’s cello in a futile attempt at playing it when he was six years old. After much begging their parents, they finally gave him a guitar for his tenth birthday. He took to it like a fish in water, and a couple years later he was not only playing his guitar but was also a pretty good bass player.

By the time he was 18 he had gathered a small group of music enthusiast students like him, which quickly became a band on the following months. While they enjoyed of a moderate success playing gigs for small bars and in one independent rock festival, they weren’t getting enough attention to make music a viable source of income for him, forcing him to work part time doing all sorts of odd jobs just to keep his band going. But deep down he knew that at this rate his dreams of fame and stardom wouldn’t become a reality, and if he didn’t hurry it wouldn’t be long until his band members decided to quit.

For the very first time in his life, Carlos decided to plan ahead and take both a big risk and a big step forward. Maybe his music wouldn’t be able to go far here but maybe, just maybe, it would go better somewhere else. After months of preparation by saving up money, convincing his band members and learning Japanese from his uncle in his spare time, they were ready to embark on the next plane to the land of the rising sun.

It’s been three months since Carlos arrived to Japan in search of fame, and while he’s not all that close of achieving his dream, somehow he can’t help but feel a big change is coming to his life.

He best be ready for it.

Digimon Name - Partner #1: Dio, or "simply" The Dark Lord Dio.
Default Form: Rookie
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral/Chaotic Good
Skills/Talents: Deceptively strong for someone so small. Suicidal overconfidence.
Inventory: Holosuit

Personality: Brash. Cocky. Full of himself. Slightly megalomaniacal. All of these are perfect ways to refer to Impmon, close contender for the title of “Biggest Ego in Known History”.

Most of the time his ego is directly (or in his rookie form, inversely) proportional to his power. Sometimes said ego is even more bloated than that. Which is probably the reason he doesn’t like to give up, even on the face of unbeatable odds. He thinks he’s better than anyone, and will not hesitate to let everybody know that. Especially if it means he gets to make a grandiose speech boasting about his greatness, acting as if he were of royal descent (which isn't far from the truth) and everyone else was but a servant to him.

He’s a cynical creature at heart, always ready to expect the worst out of everything and everyone, which goes hand in hand with his “only the strongest survive” philosophy.

If he’s feeling friendly, he might simply choose to sarcastically belittle and make fun of you. If not, he will simply be very blunt and honest about his (usually negative) feelings towards everything. On a particularly bad day, he’s bound to try to burn something (or someone) over the slightest provocation. And heaven help you if he suspects you might be plotting something against him or his tamer. Things tend to get ugly in that case.

Despite all of this, even he has redeeming qualities, mostly in the form of a soft side that rears it's head every so often: for one, despite all his talk about the “survival of the fittest”, he can’t bring himself to take advantage of children or those significantly weaker than him, on rare occasions going as far as to try to protect them from harm. Plus if you actually manage to earn his respect and get on his good side, he will never betray you, even if it would be more beneficial for him to just leave you for dead. Deep down, he’s just wants for people to respect him, and more than anything have fun on his path to glory.

And god help you if you ever do something to his brother...

Personal History: Once a great Demon Lord of Sloth, Gio came about as an unintended side effect of Sloth’s untimely demise and resurrection, which caused the former demon lord to split into two smaller cores. The bigger core became the digimon now known as Dio, while the smaller, weaker one would become his brother Gio. They would spend the ensuing months after being hatched surviving on the wastelands of the Dark Area, content with being with eachother despite the hardship.

This would come to an eventual end however, as whoever had murdered the twins' original form had now taken control of the zone, and made the soldiers that once served the Demon of Sloth capture the young digimons, after which they were instructed to whipe their memories clean and separate them, so that they may never be reborn as the original incarnation of Sloth and come back to enact vengeance.

It was like this that Dio, now with his memory a jumbled mess was forced to wander the Dark Area on his own for what seemed like years, perhaps ages...until one day a portal opened, sending the confused Pagumon to a world inhabited not by digimon, but rather humans...where he would soon meet a man that would change the course of his life forever.

Fresh

Species: Kuramon



Appearance:



Attribute: Free

Family/ies: None

Type: Unknown


Fighting Style: As a small blob fresh out of the egg, he obviously has little in the way of self defense. In the face of danger he will (very valiantly I assure you) hide behind the nearest cover and either run away or let the threat sort itself out.

Abilities:

Glare: Focuses his eye on the enemy, causing anything from disorientation (on another fresh/in-training level digimon) to a mild headache (on anything else).

In-Training

Species: Pagumon


Appearance:

Attribute: Virus

Family/ies: None

Type: Lesser


Fighting Style: Having grown up a bit from being a small cowardly jelly, his courage has also increased in size, not that it helps him any, as his fighting capabilities are still pretty much nonexistent.

Abilities:

Poison Bubble : Spits out a bubble filled with a corrosive substance.



Digivolves From: Kuramon

Rookie

Species: Impmon



Appearance:


Attribute: Virus

Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers

Type: Small Devil



Fighting Style: Having attained enough power to hold his own in combat, he adopts a reckless and aggressive style, completely forgetting about any ranged options and preferring to get up close and personal to his enemy. He won’t pull any punches and will resort to anything to win, be it considered dirty or not.



Abilities:



Night of Fire: Imbues his right hand with flames, and either throws a small fire ball or enhances his next punch with fire

Night of Blizzard: Imbues his left hand with frost, and either throws a small ball of ice or enhances his following punch with ice.

Pillar of Fire: Punches the ground and either surrounds himself in a fiery pillar or creates a small wall of fire. Said fire can last up to one post. Two posts cool down.

Primordial Burst: Combines both fire and ice magic to launch a sphere of dark energy from his hands. It’s considerably stronger than his other attacks, and as such takes more energy to perform. Two post cooldown.

[RAM Upgrade] ChaineD: A more refined version of his bootleg saberk D-Edge skill, Dio summons a frozen ice chain made out of purple energy. It can be extend up to 13ft, latch on to most surfaces with ease and can't be melted. If used against an enemy it will coil itself around them, causing medium damage and rooting anything below armor champion for one post. Three posts cooldown.

Champion



Species: Devidramon



Appearance:



Attribute: Virus

Family/ies: Dragon’s Roar, Nightmare Soldiers

Type: Evil Dragon



Fighting Style: Savage, almost feral attacks. Has very little on the way of defensive capabilities other than dodging, but once he starts his offensive he will not stop until either his enemy is down or Carlos orders him to stop…and sometimes he might not even stop then.

Abilities:


Divine Hatred: (Passive) His deep seething hate for everything holy makes his attack wilder in the presence of anything belonging to the "Virus Busters" family, causing his attacks to deal 10% more damage to them but also receive 10% more damage from their attacks.

[RAM Upgrade Giga] D-Spear: Focusing power through his body, Dio summons forth a sharp blade enveloping his tail’s metal tip. Despite having slightly better control over his power, it still has to be elemental (electrical) in nature in order to be maintained.  The blade will disappear after either three successful attacks or a block, and can only be used for either attack or defense per activation (it can't used to block after doing one swing). Three post cooldown.

Dark Gale: Gathering power within his jaws, the draconic digimon spews forth a large stream of blackened lighting. Has a 60ft range and causes heavy damage. Obviously, it’s more damaging against wet targets. Three posts cooldown.

Red Eye: Gazes down upon his enemy with his many eyes, emanating a terrifying and commanding presence. This causes them to be immobilized by fear for one turn, taking no damage but leaving them open to attacks. Three posts cooldown.

Crimson Claws: His claws glow red with power, making them sturdier and sharper by giving them a 2x boost in strenght. Lasts for one turn. Two posts cooldown.

Skewer: Impales the enemy with the metallic tip of his tail and drags them closer to him, causing heavy damage in the process. Two post cooldown.

Ultimate

Species: Neo Devimon



Appearance:



Attribute: Virus

Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers

Type: Artificial Fallen Angel



Fighting Style: A slight departure from his usual fighting style. While he still prefers to stick close to his target and keep on the offensive, but now instead of simply overwhelming his enemy he focuses on causing as much damage possible quickly or, if possible, cause as much pain as needed to tilt the match in his favor…something he might enjoy more than he ought to.



Abilities:
[RAM Upgrade Giga] D-Nail: Focusing power on either of his clawed hands, Dio summons forth a set of sharp needle like blades of pure, glowing purple energy enveloping his fingers. Having an advanced form now means he’s finally able to wield this power somewhat efficiently, no longer making it elemental. The blade will disappear after either three successful attacks or a block, and can only be used for either attack or defense per activation (it can't used to block after doing one swing). Three posts cooldown.

Bloody Claw Barrage: His claws glow red with energy as he charges forward, whilst slashing madly in front of him, leaving a small red mist on his wake. Each individual slash does relatively small damage, but the sheer amount of them in such a small time frame makes this a dangerous move. Said red mist will buff any ally that comes into contact with it, raising the damage of their next attack by 30%. Three posts cooldown.

Crimson Curse: Staying true to his barely suppressed virus nature, once his health is reduced by 50% this digimon can "toggle" a berserk like trance, allowing his lust for fighting to take control of him during a fight, forcing him to attack every turn if possible, but also buffing him to deal 40% increased damage while also taking 10% more damage from all sources. Additionally, his bloodlust is so great he has trouble differentiating friend from foe in the heat of combat, so he will not hesitate on attacking those that get in his way. He can however, with enough exertion of will power, stop himself from attacking for the turn. Doing this repeatedly has a slowly increasing risk of Neodevimon harming himself, however. Lasts until the end of the fight, can only be used once per thread.

Viral Infection: Punctures the enemy with his claws, injecting them with poison, causing great pain and mild damage over time. Poison lasts for a turn, and if the target is hit again by an attack before it wears off it takes 50% additional damage. Three posts cooldown.

Red Ray: Fires a long ranged (100ft) red energy beam from his visor. This attack is not particularly powerful damage wise, but can easily pierce through armor of its same level and below. Three posts cooldown.

Deep Incision: Slashes the enemy with a well placed cut to a vital point, severely slowing down their movements by 25%. Lasts for one turn and has a three posts cooldown.

System Shock: Charges up power within his arms, releasing a relatively short ranged (40ft) electrical arc from his hands. Deals heavy damage and lowers the enemy’s defense by 25% for two posts. Three post cooldown

Faustian Bargain: Slashes the enemy with dark energy, cutting deep into their very code causing medium damage and stealing a small bit of data on the process to heal himself by half of the damage caused. Three posts cooldown.

Mega
Species: Belphemon Rage Mode
Appearance:

Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Dark Area, Nightmare Soldiers
Type: Demon Lord


Fighting Style: A deadly mixture of fast, accurate attacks with raw power. While not nearly as nimble or fast as his smaller forms, he has more than enough strength to compensate for it, and will not pull any punches when using it, collateral damage be damned.

Abilities: [9 Abilities Max]

[Passive] Mark of Sloth: This ability allows this digimon to set a target ablaze for two posts every time they deal damage with an ability. Instead of damaging the enemy however, the flames sap the energy from the digimon, slowing down their movements significantly. Can only proc every three posts after the mark has expired, and it may only affect one target at a time.

[Passive] Hell raised: This ability allows this digimon to be unburdened by fire damage. Instead of damaging this digimon fire heals it for half of the intended damage, but he also takes double damage from water based attacks.

Gauntlet of Tartarus: Belphemon channels energy to his enormous gauntlets, which allows him to fully block a single mega level or below attack, negating all it's damage. Three posts cooldown.

Dimension Cut: In a brutal display of power Belphemon slashes forward with his claws, after which a barrage of ethereal slashes cut the recently slashed area, dealing high damage. One post cooldown.

Chains of Torment: Wielding one of the many chains coiled around his body, Belphemon whips the flaming chain in a sweeping motion in front of him, causing medium damage up to three targets in front of him. Additionally, the afflicted targets will be rooted in place by spectral chains for one post. Four posts cooldown.

Lance of Erebus: After channeling dark flames into his hands Belphemon shapesthem into the form of a massive fiery spear that may be thrown up to 2000 feet, though it's accuracy drops with range. Deals heavy damage. Two posts cooldown.

Red Volt: An upgraded version of NeoDevimon's Red Ray. Gathering power from within and his surroundings Belphemon fires a massive red beam of destructive energy from his mouth, causing heavy damage and piercing through shields and armor. Three posts cooldown.

Hellgate: Belphemon gathers energy from his surrounding, before releasing it all in a powerful explosion of flames that devastate his surroundings (50 feet). If empowered by Dark Onslaught it will deal even more damage and cover a 150 feet area.  Both versions of this attack are much more unstable than the rest however, and as such will also deal damage to any allies caught in the blast. Three posts cooldown.

Dark Onslaught: Belphemon inbues his body with the blue hued flames of Sloth, making his attacks deal double damage and reducing the damage taken by half, at the cost of some of his speed. Lasts for 2 posts and has a cool down of 5 posts.

Alternate – Mega (Dark Evolution)

Species: Furfumon (Custom Digimon)

Appearance: Standing over 20 ft tall when standing upright on his hind legs (around 18 ft when on all fours), the lumbering monstrosity known as FurFumon appears as a remainder of the dangers of the Dark Area and its inhabitants. It’s head looks not unlike the bare skull of a giant deer, except it has large canine like fangs and teeth far larger and sharper than those of a normal deer. A black putrid mist can be seen always coming out of every hole on its skull, which smells like an awful mixture between something burning, gasoline, and rot. Furthermore, besides large twisted antlers adorning the top of its skull it possesses horns similar to those of a ram curving down around the sides of its head. Its eye sockets are filled with nothing but pitch black darkness, two tiny flaming orbs floating inside them acting as the closest thing to eyes.

It’s large mangled and twisted looking body it’s fully covered with thick black fur except for its limbs, tail and the aforementioned head. Both front claws and its hind hooves are completely devoid of hair, almost as the tissue and fur covering it had been violently ripped out, being nothing but pale white skeletal claws sharp enough to tear both meat and metal apart with ease. Around the chest area the ribs can be seen poking out through the skin. The jagged vertebrae tearing through his back all the way down to its skeletal tail can sometimes be seen glowing with energy during some of Furfumon’s attacks, small arcs of electricity flashing between the bones when the beast uses some of its most powerful attacks.

Furfumon’s body seems to be surprisingly flexible despite it’s emaciated appearance, being able to twist and bend itself in unnatural ways to get through almost anywhere with ease and allowing it be able to change on the fly between running on all fours and walking and fighting on its two hind legs.

Attribute: Virus

Type: Demon Beast, Undead

Family: Nightmare Soldiers, Unknown

Fighting Style: Similar to that of his Devidramon form, expect largely more aggressive and seemingly more erratic, changing tactics on the fly with no apparent rhyme or reason to confuse it’s opponents. Oddly enough, if he’s not fighting alone his fighting strategy will change completely, attempting to defend and help out his allies by any means necessary, even willingly taking hits for them.

Abilities

Feel no Pain (passive): Furfumon is almost completely unable to feel any sort of physical pain, being able to shrug off and ignore most of the damage done to him. Obviously, because of this it also means his survival instincts are fairly reduced, causing him to ignore what could be fatal injuries until it’s too late. The only exception to this is any light/holy based attack of any kind, which will cause a disproportionate amount of pain against him regardless of the actual damage sustained.

Walking Wasteland (passive): When in combat Furfumon continuously exudes a dark poison mist that corrodes anything nearby, causing a small amount of damage over time to any enemy within melee range. Furthermore, being surrounded by it makes it naturally more resistant against poisonous attacks.

Smog Song: Spews a stream of corrosive acid from his mouth that sticks to the opponent and causes medium damage over time for a post. If they’re wearing armor (even chrome digizoid) their movements are slowed by half for the duration of the poison. Three posts cooldown.

Shock Value: After a moment of channeling summons a lightning bolt from the sky to strike himself, overloading his body with electricity, enhancing all of his normal attacks with electrical currents giving them a 1.5x boost in speed. The lightning must be charged for at least one post for a half charge, but can be charged for up to two posts for a full charge, enhancing its duration depending on the charge, as well as enhancing the damage and size of all his electrical based attacks by either 2x or 2.5x depending on the charge, as well as adding special properties to said attacks. Furfumon is completely open to attacks while channeling, and can be interrupted with a sufficiently powerful attack. Two/three posts duration depending on time spent channeling. Three posts cooldown, may only be used twice per thread, regardless if the channeling was successful or not.

Rider of the Storm: Shoots out a long ranged stream of lightning out of his mouth, causing heavy damage. If Furfumon is empowered by Shock Value the stream grows in size and is also able to paralyze his enemy for a turn if at half charge, two posts with a full charge. Three posts cooldown.

Lightning Satellite: Summons five orbs of lightning that orbit around him, causing medium damage if they collide against his enemy. If empowered by Shock Value, the orbs also create a small electrical arc around Furfumon, halving the damage done by projectiles. One post duration at half charge, two posts at full charge. Two posts cooldown.

Phlebotomizing Allocation: Furfumon tears into his own chest, wounding himself and splashing up to three allies with a black liquid that heals them by 30%. The healing is evenly split between all the targets, so it becomes more potent the less allies it heals (I.E.: 30% for one target, 15% for two targets, 10% for three). Two posts cooldown.

Night Crawler: Envelops himself with a black mist and sinks into the ground or wall, reemerging close to his enemies location one post later and either dragging them inside his black cloud or lunging at them if far away. Three posts cooldown.

Last Defiance (aka: “I Serve No One!”): Setting his body ablaze with flames of darkness Furfumon charges forward and attempts to lunge and pin down his enemy. If the attack connects it causes a massive and heavily damaging black explosion that increases in power the more damaged he is. Because it causes both heavy damage to him and his enemy, it’s strictly a last resort attack that if successful will revert him back down to either in training or rookie stage depending on the damage, and could potentially risk deletion of used improperly. Obviously, it can only be used once per thread if successful. Three post cooldown if it misses.

Super Mega
Species: Belphemon X
Appearance:
Art credit goes to Sora! ---> www.deviantart.com/pkingsora

Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Dark Area
Type: Demon Lord

Fighting Style: Finally returned to it's absolute apex, Dio holds nothing back in showing the absolute heights of the Dark Lord's power, excelling in both the flair and the devastation that comes with reaching the strenght required for a Super Mega, and ready to decimate everything in it's wake with absolute power.

Abilities: [10 Abilities Max]
Fires of Sloth [Passive]: Every three posts Dio’s next attack becomes empowered by the power of Sloth and wrapped by blue flames. This doesn’t make the attacks any stronger, but if they land will slow the enemy down by half their normal speed for the next turn. Obviously has a 3 post cooldown.

Stubborn Resilience[Passive]: Having survived long enough to reach this level its quite plain to see that Dio is (probably) too proud to acknowledge pain. Or maybe just too egocentric to die. Regardless, he takes 30% reduced damage from all sources.

Chaos Zweihander : Dio opens a small, fiery portal and reaches his hand inside it, retrieving from within it t a large greatsword. The sword can either be used to slash at the enemy or fire a wave of flames from a distance. Both deal the same amount of heavy damage, and the sword will disappear after three attacks have been used. 5 posts cooldown.

Blood Moon: A sigil appears in front of Dio as his digicore begins to charge itself with energy, before firing a single beam of energy into the sigil. A moment later four similar looking sigils appear above the enemy before raining down a red beam of energy each. Deals heavy damage. 3 post cooldown.

Volcanic Fissure: Dio slashes at the enemy with his golden claws, giant marks being left on the ground in their wake, dealing heavy damage. A moment later columns of fire and lava fire out from the fissures, setting fire to their target and dealing small damage over time for two more posts. 4 posts cooldown.

Chthonic Embrace: A large, shadow like hand emerges from within Dio’s digicore, and attempts to clutch itself around a target. If successful it will deal medium damage and root them in place for a turn. 4 posts cooldown.

King of Sloth: True to his old title as Sloth, Dio uses a rather simple, perhaps even boring attack as he raises his hands at the enemy, before his claws extend to unreasonable lengths to try and stab them from a distance, before returning to their normal length. 2 posts cooldown.

The Terror of Death: For a turn Dio stays still, channeling energy and leaving himself open for attacks. The next turn however his gauntlets separate from his body, growing to a preposterously large size, before coming down on the enemy and each delivering a single massive swipe, strong enough to split the ground below and the clouds above. Obviously deals massive damage to the unfortunate target. 6 post cooldown.

Propagation: A black cloud of fog and smoke covers the sky, darkening the area significantly. While not making things any harder to see, it does makes both Dio and Gio become 20% faster and deal 20% more damage for the next three turns. 6 posts cooldown.

Twin Cataclysm: The two become glowing featureless figures of pure glowing data, before fusing into a singular amorphous sphere of pure energy. Said sphere begins to spin rapidly in place, the data surrounding it moving alongside it, a vortex of unstable energy coalescing into burning flames, dark clouds, lightning, primordial chaos. Deals massive damage in a large 40 feet area, utterly devastating anything that might have been close by. Can only be done once per thread, and after the move is done the twins must stay for a turn to recover their strength.

OPTIONAL EVOLUTIONARY STAGES - ARMOR DIGIVOLUTION

---

Digimon Name - Parter #2: Gio
Default Form: Rookie
Gender: Male
Alignment: Neutral Good
Skills/Talents: Deceptively strong for someone so small, even more so than his brother, also possesses a keen sense of smell.
Inventory: Holosuit

Personality: In stark contrast with his twin, Gio could be easily described as a very friendly airhead. He’s optimistic to a fault, polite, kind, and a firm believer that hugs can solve most if not all problems in life (except an empty stomach, much to his dismay).
This usually goes hand in hand with his knowledge (or lack thereof) of the outside world which could easily be seen as one of his biggest weaknesses.

Furthermore he has a rather poor attention span, and a big tendency to ignore crucial information if distracted by something else (to the point he literally has a tendency to fall out of places simply for not looking ahead), not to mention he’s quite gullible. Though it should also be mentioned that despite all this he is capable of moments of genuine cleverness and insight, though whether this is just a lucky coincidence or him (mostly) faking his quirkier traits is a mystery…though considering how rare said moments of lucidity are it’s fair to assume he’s not the brightest light bulb in the room.

Gio genuinely believes that there’s no such thing as pure evil, and will always try to rearch for everyone’s good side, though he still has his limits: if anyone were to harm or try to cause harm to either his brother or his tamer Gio’s personality does a complete 180 turn, becoming little more than a feral beast that will stop at nothing to eliminate any and all perceived threats in the vicinity unless subdued or somehow restrained long enough to regain his senses…though if you survive and prove yourself redeemable he’ll be the first one to help you back on your feet and offer you a pat in the back, as if nothing ever happened.


Personal History: Once a great Demon Lord of Sloth, Gio came about as an unintended side effect of Sloth’s untimely demise and resurrection, which caused the former demon lord to split into two smaller cores. Perhaps it was out of the culprit's desire to not leave any loose ends, perhaps just out of pettiness, but whatever the case it would seem Gio got the shorter end of the stick compared to his brother, as he was swiftly sold to a group of slavers, who a couple days later sold him yet again to a rich magistrate from the city of Luminas.

Most of the remainder of Gio’s life was spent in (admittedly accommodated) captivity, most of his days kept around as little more than a glorified pet guard dog of the magistrate’s property, the rest being harshly trained and sent to fight in underground digimon arenas for the entertainment and profit of his owner. Though he had grown more than accustomed and happy to his confinement (helped by the fact his so called “Mistress” had started treating him less like a pet and more like a surrogate son), it would not last for long, as his owner’s shady deals with the underground would finally catch up with her, leaving Gio alone once again until a certain person helped him reach the Village of Begginings, where he would spend the remainder of his days.

…or so he thought, until a chance meeting led him to find his twin…

Rookie
Species: Black Guilmon
Appearance:

Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers
Type: Reptile
Fighting Style: Disorient the enemy, hit fast, retreat. Rinse and repeat.
Abilities:

[RAM Upgrade] (Passive) Gigantic Strenght: Strangely, it would seem Gio’s physical strength as a rookie is 50% more than that of a regular Rookie, though this doesn’t amount to much in practical combat, as it simply allows his basic attacks to be slightly stronger than the average rookie, as well as be able to lift things twice his size and weight with relative ease.
[RAM Upgrade Giga] Axon Charge: Due to Gio’s rather odd upbringing and traces of his old demon lord data, his body and very core react to physical trauma in an different way. On top of an increased tolerance to pain, every time Gio receives damage from a named move he stores a part of the attack’s energy within him, giving him a charge. He can store up to five of these charges. Every charge gives him a 5% increase in damage to all of his named moves, though he loses a charge for every two turns without receiving damage. Furthermore he can spend all five charges to create a medium ranged explosion around him causing heavy damage to up to two targets, but can’t gain charges for the next two turns.
Shade form: Gio turns his body into pure black smoke and disappears, before reappearing again at a desired location within 10 feet of distance. 2 post cooldown.

Exhaust Cloud: Gio breathes out hot smoke screen that obscures vision in a small area, while the small embers within it cause medium damage to any enemy standing inside the cloud. However, if the smoke is struck by any fire or plasma based attacks the embers within it will heat up significantly, increasing the damage done by the cloud significantly. Unless blown away by other attacks the smoke cloud lasts for two turns, and has a 3 turn cooldown.

Plasmic Release: Gio charges up his claws with volatile plasma, which makes his next punch or slash do increased damage. The plasma can strike a single target for medium damage, but if it misses the plasma will detonate and spread out in a small area in front of Gio, being able to strike up to two targets at once but doing reduced damage.

Gio Guard!: Gio stands his ground, his stance and muscles tensing up as pure force of will runs through him, allowing him to block an attack of his same level. 3 posts cooldown.

Champion
Species: Black Growlmon
Appearance:

Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers
Type: Demon Dragon
Fighting Style: Rather similar to his fighting style as a rookie, but obviously scaled up and fairly more flashy.
Abilities:

[RAM Upgrade Giga] Axon Charge: Due to Gio’s rather odd upbringing and traces of his old demon lord data, his body and very core react to physical trauma in an different way: On top of an increased tolerance to pain, every time Gio receives damage from a named move he stores a part of the attack’s energy within him, giving him a charge. He can store up to five of these charges. Every charge gives him a passive 5% increase in damage to all of his named moves, though he loses a charge for every two turns without receiving damage. Furthermore he can spend all five charges to create a medium ranged (10 feet at all levels) explosion around him, causing heavy damage to up to two targets, but can’t gain charges for the next two turns.

Smoking Hot Charge: Covers his entire body in a thick cloud of smoke, before lunging head first at the enemy, dealing medium damage on the process. 2 turn cooldown.

Cauterizing Slash: Slashes at the enemy with claws hot enough to melt rock, dealing heavy damage and lowering the enemies’ defense for 2 turns. 4 turn cooldown.

Mighty Toss: Attempts to grab a hold of the enemy with his claws, before throwing them up in the air, dealing medium damage. 2 turn cooldown.

Gio Guard EX!: Gio stands his ground, his stance tensing up as he focuses his entire being on defense, allowing him to block and shrug off an Champion level attack by sheer force of will alone, or take reduced damage from an Ultimate level move. 3 turn cooldown.

Smoke-Port!: Transforms his form into smoke and disappears into the ground, before attempting to burst from the ground and slash at the enemy. Deals medium damage and has a 3 turn cooldown.

Plasma Grenade: Spews forth a ball of volatile plasma from his mouth, which detonates in a small area and deals medium damage to up to three targets. 3 turn cooldown.

Ultimate
Species: Black Wargrowlmon
Appearance:

Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers/Metal Empire
Type: Cyborg
Fighting Style: Carrying enough firepower to put most modern tanks to shame, this form specializes in destroying things from a distance while offering support for his allies, though it can still pack a punch up close.
Abilities:

[RAM Upgrade Giga] Axon Charge: Due to Gio’s rather odd upbringing and traces of his old demon lord data, his body and very core react to physical trauma in an different way. On top of an increased tolerance to pain, every time Gio receives damage from a named move he stores a part of the attack’s energy within him, giving him a charge. He can store up to five of these charges. Every charge gives him a 5% increase in damage to all of his named moves, though he loses a charge for every two turns without receiving damage. Furthermore he can spend all five charges to create a medium ranged explosion around him causing heavy damage to up to two targets, but can’t gain charges for the next two turns.

Regenerative Field: Releases a small plasma pulse in a small area around him, regenerating the damaged data of up to three allies, healing them all for 20%. 5 turn cooldown.

Defense Matrix: Countless small plasma projectiles shot out of Gio’s back and intercept up to two ranged abilities/one melee aimed either at Gio or at an ally in his near vicinity, nullifying their damage and dealing minor damage if it’s a melee attack. 3 posts cooldown.

Ascalon Ray: Gathers power within the Ascalon Cannon in his chest and fires off a large beam of pure energy in a cone in front of him. It’s strong enough to pierce shields and ignore defensive buffs, but it’s inaccurate at long distances. 4 turns cooldown.

Plasmic Salvo: Fires off a salvo of missile shaped plasma projectiles out of his arms. Causes medium damage to a single target and lowers their defense by 30% for a turn. 3 Turn Cooldown.

Rending Blade: Slashes at the opponent using his Pendulum blades with blinding speed. Deals medium damage and has a 1 turn cooldown.

Volcanic Mist: Breathes out a dark cloud of burning hot smoke upon an enemy, obscuring their vision and the heat causing minor damage for its duration. Lasts two turns and has a 3 posts cooldown.

Molten Core: Gio’s very core heats up and generates far more energy than usual, causing his entire armor to overheat and kick into overdrive. During the next three turns he receives a power boost to all his named attacks, and his body becomes so hot any enemy attacking him from melee range receives minor damage from coming in contact with it. 4 turn cooldown.

Mega
Species: Hadesmon
Appearance:
(huge thanks to Eizer for the recolor!)
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers/Dragon’s Roar
Type: Cyber Demon
Fighting Style: Despite the blinding speeds Gio can reach on this form, he performs better when he can get his footing and deal with the enemy at a safe distance while his brother charges in, but as per usual he can hold his ground just fine if he finds himself threatened up close.

Abilities:
[RAM Upgrade Giga] Axon Charge: Due to Gio’s rather odd upbringing and traces of his old demon lord data, his body and very core react to physical trauma in an different way. On top of an increased tolerance to pain, every time Gio receives damage from a named move he stores a part of the attack’s energy within him, giving him a charge.

Furthermore he can spend all five charges to create a medium ranged explosion around him causing heavy damage to up to two targets, but can’t gain charges for the next two turns.

(Passive) Bound by Fate: Every three turns during combat Gio can enhance one of his basic attacks with the Fire of Sloth inherited from his brother, making his basic attack deal as much damage as a two turn named attack.

Plasma bubble: Generates a large (50 feet) barrier of solidified around him and any allies within his range. Said barrier can stop up to three Mega level attacks or a single Super Mega attack. Lasts up to two turns, and has a 4 turn cooldown.

Dark Comet: After covering his whole body in pure blue energy Gio dashes at mach speed up to 100 feet away from his previous location. If he collides with any enemy it will stop Gio dead on his tracks, but deal medium damage to whoever he hit. 3 turn cooldown.

Yamato: Gio stabs his bladed tail deep into the ground and opens a large portal in the sky, from which a single sword of massive size (35ft) falls and attempts to crush the target. Due to its massive size it deals heavy damage in an area where it lands (affecting up to three targets), and deals massive damage to anyone unfortunate enough to be hit directly. Can only be used two times per thread, and Gio is completely rooted in place one turn after the summoning. 5 turn cooldown.

Dark Claw – Rend: Summons a giant energy claw that slashes in a downward motion upon the enemy, dealing heavy damage if it connects. Can be summoned anywhere within a range of 50 feet of Gio, but it must be done within his range of vision. 3 turn cooldown.

Dark Claw – Subdue: Summons from the beneath the enemy a giant claw of pure energy that attempts to grab on and restrain it’s target, keeping them in place and dealing minor damage for a turn, as well as making the afflicted target take more damage from any fire related attacks while they’re restrained. 4 turn cooldown.

Dark Claw – Barrier: Slashes the air in front of him with great velocity using both claws, which leave an energy trail behind and form a net like barrier. This barrier can block a Mega level move

Super Mega
Species: Megidramon
Appearance:


Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Dark Area
Type: Evil Dragon

Fighting Style: Finally returning to the power from his prime, Gio's mind however also becomes quite filled with intense feelings of pent up rage as a side effect, and this translates in a fighting style all about overwhelming the enemy with relentless and powerful attacks, taking perhaps a bit too much of a delight in the combat itself.

Abilities: [10 Abilities Max]
[RAM Upgrade Giga] Axon Charge: Due to Gio’s rather odd upbringing and traces of his old demon lord data, his body and very core react to physical trauma in an different way. On top of an increased tolerance to pain, every time Gio receives damage from a named move he stores a part of the attack’s energy within him, giving him a charge. He can store up to five of these charges. Every charge gives him a 5% increase in damage to all of his named moves, though he loses a charge for every two turns without receiving damage. Furthermore he can spend all five charges to create a medium ranged explosion around him causing heavy damage to up to two targets, but can’t gain charges for the next two turns.

Bloody Scales [Passive]: Gio’s usually toughness is only exacerbated by his increase in power, making him receive 20% reduced damage as well as dealing a small amount of damage back at whoever attacks him at close range.

Gungnir: Gio’s long tail becomes enveloped by a volatile coating of electricity, which grows in size and becomes the blade twice the size of Gio’s form, before bringing it down and slashing it downwards at the enemy. Due to its massive size it deals heavy damage in an area where it lands (affecting up to three targets), and deals massive damage to anyone unfortunate enough to be hit directly, and it can only be used twice per thread. 5 posts cooldown.

Red and Black: Pure rage boil within this digimon’s veins as he lets out a roar filled with malice and anger, his scales glowing with an intense red and black energy. Gio’s next attack will deal double the usual damage. 4 posts cooldown.

Dark Rend: Summons a giant energy claw that slashes in a downward motion upon the enemy, dealing heavy damage if it connects. Can be summoned anywhere within a range of 50 feet of Gio, but it must be done within his range of vision. 3 turn cooldown.

Dark Claw – Barrier: Slashes the air in front of him with great velocity using both claws, which leave an energy trail behind and form a net like barrier. This barrier can block a single Super Mega level move before breaking. 5 posts cooldown.

Storm: Gio fires off a massive volt of lightning from within his jaws and into the sky. After a brief moment said volt comes crashing down from above, dealing heavy damage to its target. 3 posts cooldown.

Serpent’s Infernal Rapture: With a crackle of lighting Gio’s entire body becomes a streak of electricity for a brief time as he charges head first into an enemy. Deals medium damage, 2 posts cooldown.

Avenger: Gio’s arm blades (and entire body, really) glow with power as he lunges at the enemy, becoming half way into a streak of lighting, before delivering a large number of slashes at the enemy, dealing heavy damage. 2 posts cooldown.

Rebirth: Death won’t stop them again. An uncannily bright light envelops both Gio and Dio, healing their wounds by 25% and removing any debuffs they had. 6 posts cooldown.

Twin Cataclysm: The two become glowing featureless figures of pure glowing data, before fusing into a singular amorphous sphere of pure energy. Said sphere begins to spin rapidly in place, the data surrounding it moving alongside it, a vortex of unstable energy coalescing into burning flames, dark clouds, lightning, primordial chaos. Deals massive damage in a large 40 feet area, utterly devastating anything that might have been close by. Can only be done once per thread, and after the move is done the twins must stay still for a turn to recover their strength.
