Name: Shotaro Kirishima
Alias: Sho, "Silver"
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height: 5'09"
Weight: 173 lbs.
Alignment: Neutral. While Sho sees himself as a good person, he's mostly indifferent to most things.
Birth Date: June 18th
Western Horoscope: Gemini
Birth Place: Akihabara
Skills/Talents:
Salvage and repair; Shotaro has a fondness for rummaging, salvaging, and repairing various assorted doodads, from simple electronics to discarded computers to small machines. His apartment is full of these, most retrofitted to have some modicum of "renaissance" look. As well, he can often be found frequenting Akiba looking for cheap discount parts, rare finds, and discarded junk.
Mytho-historical triva; Shotaro can be something of an encyclopedia when it comes to ancient myths and world history, very easily coming across as a bit of an otaku for the stuff.
Cooking; Having lived on his own all through high school, Shotaro picked up a decent amount of cooking skill. Nothing remarkable, but he can at least manage enough to make varied and sustainable meals.
Tailoring; To feed into his hobbies and also make some spare money, Shotaro learned how to make clothing and costumes, and often gets commissioned to sew costumes and uniforms for small businesses near his apartment, or fix clothes by acquaintances and old classmates.
Caligraphy and sketching; As part of his studies, Shotaro learned to write caligraphically in both Japanese and English, choosing to use a more flourished script of Japanese written in Roman letters. Additionally, he picked up some simple sketching skills, having a decent grasp of human form and some animals and objects. However, his drawing skills are nothing extraordinary.
Backpack Contents:
Digivice: A Digivice iC with a deep wine-red body and a midnight blue faceplate, accented with golden-chromed buttons and ring. The Digivice is paired with a dark gunmetal D-Terminal with buttons matching the gold buttons of the Digivice, and a wine-red grip matching the Digivice's body. Hanging from the Digivice ring is a small replica sword, while the Terminal has a few small band stickers applied, mostly for fantasy-rock and visual kei bands.
Personality: In the simplest of terms, Shotaro is an otaku. He is obsessed with both historical medieval culture and the fantasized version presented in movies, games, and shows. on the other hand, he is also incredibly fond of technology, spending much of his free time looking for discarded bits of techno-junk to toy with, or rebuilding old computers into powerhouses. This leads to his apartment being an anachronistic mess, with a mix of renaissance and fantasy flair overlaid onto a complex network of computers and appliances. Aside from this, Shotaro doesn't have many hobbies, usually either working one of many part-time jobs or indulging in his hobbies.
In terms of interpersonal relationships, Shotaro can be a bit rocky. While not opposed to interaction by any means, his fascinations can be a bit off-putting, especially when a small detail like a Fleur-de-lis pin or some obscure and likely unintentional reference to the middle ages catches his interest. However, those that can put up with his obsession find a very agreeable, if somewhat sharp-tongued, and loyal person, who always strives to look out for others. Because of his interests, he can be bit scatterbrained with his speech patterns, intermingling English and Japanese and using old idioms and terms.
{English is denoted by italics in his normal speech}
Appearance: Face/build and Digital World outfit
Shotaro's physical appearance is fairly average, unremarkable in height with a modest athletic build, fair Japanese skin tone and deep black hair. The only striking natural trait is his sapphire blue eyes, inherited from a distant ancestor. However, he has decided to streak his hair with silvery white and dye the underside to match, styling it in a muss to further accentuate the contrast. With his gentle features, soft eyes, and relaxed yet formal posture, he tends towards being very unimposing to others.
When in the real world, Shotaro usually wears a pair of black chino pants with a white leather wallet chain on his left hip, paired against a deep blue tunic-styled long-sleeved tee shirt accented with a white Gothic cross on the front and a pair of crossed swords on the back. His feet bear plain blue socks and blue-trimmed white sneakers, while he usually wears white leather gloves to protect his hands in case he finds a new bit of junk to salvage. During the fall, he sometimes adds a light waist-length cloak, colored in white with swirls of royal blue in a filigree design, and in winter this is traded for a thick coat that reaches down to his knees, with a similar color design and a thick gray fur collar.
In the Digital World, however, his outfit changes entirely as he transits between worlds, for reasons he doesn't at all understand. His pants remain mostly unchanged, but his shirt is replaced with a stylish black and white top with the right sleeve extending entirely into a connected glove, with unknown red markings from wrist to elbow. His left arm has an old-fashioned "puffy" sleeve, with a blue inner trim and a leather belt fastened around it to slim it a bit, and from his elbow down is a shiny silver gauntlet. Over his pants are a pair of long greaves, matching color to the gauntlet, which reach up to just below his hips, and a leather belt holding a pair of hip plates that extend into sideskirts rests on his waist. Finally, over it all rests a white cloak, waist-length with a soft blue lining.

Personal History: Born in a small hospital in the Akihabara district of Tokyo to the owner of several niche cafes and marketing saleswoman, Shotaro lived a mostly normal childhood, though with a degree more luxury than your average child. From a young age of seeing Western fantasy films, he developed a deep fondness for the genre which, over time, grew into fascination and then into full-blown obsession. He dove into fantasy tabletop games, RPGs, Western history books, romantic novels of knights and maids, and all sorts of media to feed his desire. Over the years, this lead to him being considered a bit of an odd duck, especially when he dyed his hair. However, between his parents' influence and his above-average performance academically, his eccentricities were mostly permitted by the schools, even his unorthodox hair, and in high school he started a club dedicated to all things fantasy and classic culture. While none of the other members came close to his dedication, he did manage to make friends through this, many of which he still keeps contact with after graduating.
Following high school, Shotaro decided firmly against college, favoring real-world experience over the academic slackery rife in the Japanese university system, and instead makes his way with commissioned work and various part-time and odd jobs, with a plan to eventually take over after his father retires.

Alignment: Neutral Good, bordering Lawful Good
Skills/Talents: Gawain is good at creative tasks, and likes to try and fix things, usually with some modicum of success.
Personality: Gawain is very reserved, speaking in polite terms and with a quiet voice. However, when pushed, he can be very bold, and his words can boom rather magnificently. He often refers to Shotaro as "Master" or "Lord."

Gender: Male
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Skills/Talents: Tristan tends to assist in cooking, being amazing at slicing ingredients in various fashions, with both remarkable speed and precision.

Fresh
Species: Costucomon
Appearance: Gawain looks identical to any other Costucomon, except that his skin is a vibrant purple instead of yellow, matching his evolutions, and a small red cloth wrapped around his shield strap.
Attribute: Free
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Armor Digimon
Fighting Style: Due to his small form and lack of limbs, Gawain's Fresh form simply maintains a defense, holding off attacks as well as he can manage with his small shield. When push comes to shove, he can attempt attack with a combination headbutt/shield bash, but this attack does negligible damage even to humans.
Abilities: Beginner's Targe; A very simple ability, simply focusing on his shield to try and absorb as much damage as possible. At best, it can partially negate attacks from a Rookie, but anything more will entirely overwhelm it.
Digivolves To: Kakkinmon
In-Training
Species: Kakkinmon
Appearance: Much like his prior form, Gawain is identical to any other Kakkinmon, aside from his purple skintone, and a small, tattered red cloth wedged under his shield.
Attribute: Free
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Armor Digimon
Fighting Style: Having gained some size, and a much better shield, as a Kakkinmon Gawain has become much more active in combat, gaining at least a passable ability to attack and much more confidence. His bash has been replaced with a forward charge, though this is hampered by his lack of ambulatory limbs, and attempting to jam the point of his shield into the enemy's soft parts.
Abilities: Apprentice Kite; A defensive stance, absorbing far more than the prior form. This ability can almost entirely negate attacks from most Rookies, but is still overwhelmed by anything stronger.
Rough Parry; A mixed offense and defense, in which Gawain attempts to deflect an enemy's attack directly back at them. This tends to have a low success rate against any skilled foe.
Digivolves From: Costucomon
Digivolves To: Dorumon
Rookie
Species: Dorumon
Appearance: Much like any other Dorumon, aside from the red neckerchief tied loosely around his throat.
Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Animal Digimon
Fighting Style: As Dorumon, Gawain's fighting style becomes active and ferocious, mostly consisting of hit-and-away tactics and opportune ranged attacks. He tends to prefer using weapons formed with First Edge over his claws, though kicks are still frequent. Gawain is very quick on his feet, relying heavily on movement and avoidance opposed to tanking hits, though he can manage to withstand attacks using Ranger's Bulwark. When desperate or cornered, he can be prone to firing off rapid, unfocused shots of Dash Metal.
Abilities: First Edge; A simple yet effective technique utilized by Dorumon, allowing him to create small one-handed weapons to wield. His preference is a specific style of shortsword. However, simple hatchets or clubs can be made instead. Only one of these weapons can be active at a time.
Coarse Bulwark; Gawain shakes out his fur, before hardening it into a near-metallic state in order to reduce damage. He prefers not having to use this, as it immobilizes him until he releases it, and the defense increase barely lets him withstand a single attack from a Champion.
Dash Metal; Much like the standard version of Dash Metal used by many Dorumon, Gawain fires a projectile of hard metal from his mouth. However, his version is pointed instead of spherical.
Metal Howitzer; Gawain's version of Metal Cannon, which fires a larger, denser, and spiral-carved metal mass from his mouth, a larger and rifled version of the Dash Metal projectile.
Digivolves From: Kakkinmon
Digivolves To: Strikedramon
Champion
Species: Strikedramon
Appearance: Gawain looks quite similar to most other Strikedramon, except for a tattered red muffler, a red coloration to his pants, longer hair, and a dull gold trim to all of his armor.
Attribute: Vaccine
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Dragon Man Digimon
Fighting Style: In this form, Gawain becomes a skilled and precise combatant, moving with swift steps and avoiding excess movement, though his skills are still rough around the edges. Frequent maneuvers include jumps and aerial dives, while retaining a heavy focus on speed over power or endurance. Despite this, Gawain has picked up the skills to parry physical attacks with his sword, though powerful enough attacks will prevent him.
Abilities: Blazing Edge; An improved version of First Edge, allowing Gawain to create large single-handed weapons, such as sabers, handaxes, or shortspears. Gawain's preference is a particular cutlass.
Strike Fang; Gawain engulfs his entire body in searing flames from his superheated Metal Plate, charging at the enemy and tackling them, or slashing them with a weapon.
Burning Impulse; Gawain lets his Virus Buster instinct loose, going on a ferocious rampage that forces him to target Virus Digimon, but boosts all of his statistics to at least double.
Inferno Drive; Gawain heats his Metal Plate to ignition, but not enough to engulf him entirely, and adds these flames to his attacks.
Sharp Retort; Gawain attempts to counter a melee attack or a small enough ranged attack by back-handing it away with the Metal Plate on his left hand.
Advancing Armor; Gawain's skin hardens and he hunkers himself down, while steadily advancing toward the foe. This allows him to endure attacks much better than normal, but heavily reduces his mobility.

Appearance: Tristan looks much like any other Sakumon, only with a few small chips broken out of his blade.
Attribute: Free

Fighting Style: Being little more than a grumpy ball with a sharp horn, he's pretty much limited to bouncing and stabbing. Fond of ankle-shanking.

Rookie
Species: Zubamon
Appearance: As a Rookie, Tristan resembles a normal Zubamon, without the 20 on the horn, and with a red cape instead of white.
Attribute: Vaccine
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Weapon
Fighting Style: Tristan can now manage to fight properly, moving constantly and striking with a mix of kicks and claw swipes, rarely using his horn for normal attacks.
Abilities: Blade of Knights; Tristan stands straight upright, tightening his tail to be used as a handle and allowing his twin or his Tamer to wield him like a sword.
Wheel of Misfortune; Tristan leaps forward, flipping continuously into a wheel of slashing blades.
Golden Guard; Tristan stands in place and tightens his muscles, stiffening his armor in place and becoming more durable.
Flight of the Knight; Tristan leaps into the air, spreading his cape with his hands and using it to glide short distances. Cannot actually achieve true flight.

Digivolves To: ZubaEagermon
Champion
Species: ZubaEagermon
Appearance: Tristan's Champion form continues to removes the 20 from his horn, while adding draperies of tattered red cloth from his shoulders and haunches, and a small red tassel from the "pommel" of the prong on his back.
Attribute: Vaccine
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Weapon
Fighting Style: Now being purely quadrupedal, Tristan focuses on support, acting as a steed for his twin, or a battering ram, charging headlong at enemies to skewer them on his horn, or stampeding past to slash at them with his claws or tail.
Abilities: Endless March; Tristan can continue to run for a remarkable time, even managing to continuously run for days so long as he isn't stopped or made to fight. In battle, this translates to being constantly on the move, and overcoming most effects that would fatigue or slow him.
Severing Spin; Tristan runs at a target, leaping into a spiral spin the slice through them.
Gil Tepes; Tristan runs at a target, slamming his horn into them to impale them.
Golden Phalanx; Tristan hunkers down, hardening his defenses while intentionally making sure his tail is pointed at whatever seems the most threatening.
Lunar Gale; Tristan fires a crescent blade of energy from his tail, either horizontally with a quick swipe or vertically with a backflip. He can do both to fire a cross-shaped blade, but this is tiring and causes a 3-post cooldown.

Appearance: As a Rookie, Tristan resembles a normal Zubamon, without the 20 on the horn, and with a red cape instead of white.
Attribute: Vaccine
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Weapon
Fighting Style: Tristan can now manage to fight properly, moving constantly and striking with a mix of kicks and claw swipes, rarely using his horn for normal attacks.
Abilities: Blade of Knights; Tristan stands straight upright, tightening his tail to be used as a handle and allowing his twin or his Tamer to wield him like a sword.
Wheel of Misfortune; Tristan leaps forward, flipping continuously into a wheel of slashing blades.
Golden Guard; Tristan stands in place and tightens his muscles, stiffening his armor in place and becoming more durable.
Flight of the Knight; Tristan leaps into the air, spreading his cape with his hands and using it to glide short distances. Cannot actually achieve true flight.

Champion
Species: ZubaEagermon
Appearance: Tristan's Champion form continues to removes the 20 from his horn, while adding draperies of tattered red cloth from his shoulders and haunches, and a small red tassel from the "pommel" of the prong on his back.
Attribute: Vaccine
Family/ies: Virus Busters
Type: Weapon
Fighting Style: Now being purely quadrupedal, Tristan focuses on support, acting as a steed for his twin, or a battering ram, charging headlong at enemies to skewer them on his horn, or stampeding past to slash at them with his claws or tail.
Abilities: Endless March; Tristan can continue to run for a remarkable time, even managing to continuously run for days so long as he isn't stopped or made to fight. In battle, this translates to being constantly on the move, and overcoming most effects that would fatigue or slow him.
Severing Spin; Tristan runs at a target, leaping into a spiral spin the slice through them.
Gil Tepes; Tristan runs at a target, slamming his horn into them to impale them.
Golden Phalanx; Tristan hunkers down, hardening his defenses while intentionally making sure his tail is pointed at whatever seems the most threatening.
Lunar Gale; Tristan fires a crescent blade of energy from his tail, either horizontally with a quick swipe or vertically with a backflip. He can do both to fire a cross-shaped blade, but this is tiring and causes a 3-post cooldown.
