Joshua Saros

_DIGIMON_PARTNER_
::THE KING OF BEASTS::

Leomon. A Digimon who is as courageous, noble, and righteous as the animal he signifies. This species of Digimon is a firm believer that everyone in life, friend or enemy, has their own personal destiny to live out to their fullest, and should stick to what their heart believes in. In the eyes of evil, he is a ruthless bounty hunter, unwilling to let chaos and discord overcome the best of the world, and will brandish his sword, Shishiou-Maru, against all denizens of darkness. A strong practitioner of many secret styles of martial arts, he has acquired the ability to filter his energy and summon it to any point of his body to increase the amount of damage he does to his skills.
________________________________________


Josh’s partner changes personality depending on which form he is predominately occupying, which will either be Rookie, Champion, or Mega, primarily the two latter options, as he is capable of conserving energy in his higher forms if he remains physically inactive in combat. As Leomon, he displays the benevolent and calm persona that is often present on his species, willing to cooperate with many more people he can trust. He’s also strictly protective of Josh or Belph in this state, and will see to it that no harm comes his way.

As his Mega form, BanchouLeomon, his personality slightly takes a bit of a one eighty. Being stronger in this state, and noticeably wiser, it goes to say this turns him into a bit of an ego-freak, acting like a know-it-all whenever he thinks he does, and strongly dislikes being overshadowed in any way. He’s not hair-brained by any means; as naive and cocky as he is, he knows his limitations and can determine if a situation is impossible to overcome⎯he’s also quite snarky, too, often exploiting an insignificant weak spot in a person who’s more prone to emotional fits, most likely for laughs and giggles. This doesn’t mean he holds no sense of honor, however: honor is literally what this Digimon’s all about in most fights, as he hates Digimon who resort to cheap, dirty tactics to steal a win, preferring to beat down a foe with his own, brute strength and skill. In this form, BanchouLeomon is more likely to act first and ask questions later, acting as the polar opposite to the rational Josh. As he is a Digimon, he barely knows of the Human World and what it’s like, often getting his Tamer into various sorts of hijinks as the human haplessly tries to keep him hidden ⎯ this applies vice versa, too, as Josh himself has to be constantly saved by the lion Digimon whenever he gets into trouble.

He views Josh as a younger brother figure: annoying and troublesome to look out for all the time, yet someone who can definitely be trusted and relied upon. He has a soft spot for fast food, specifically pizza, and sodas.

Side Note: When utilizing a disguise, “Leo” has the ability to equip a special, cybernetically enhanced bracer which allows him to take on the form of a human. Unfortunately, he looks more like a delinquent in this form than he does his Digimon form...

CATALYZED

(Yes, I did draw this. Old younger pic of Josh too.)

Species: Leomon
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Beast Man Digimon
Family: Nature Spirits, Virus Busters
Level: Champion | Adult
Attacks:

• Beast Kick - Leomon will set his foot alight with his powerful energy and leap at the foe, delivering a powerful and graceful whirlwind kick that may potentially send the foe flying backwards if it strikes hard enough.
• Gauntlets of the Beast King - By channeling his inner power into both of his fists in a manner similar to his finishing move, Leomon will set both of his hands alight with burning power. As the flames rage on, it will boost his physical striking power, allowing him to deal additional damage to enemies. The energy will not harm anyone he deems unfit to be harmed by it, such as himself or any allies, and the effects of the attack lasts for three posts. (Requires a two post cooldown after use to avoid injuries to himself )
• Beast Sword - Leomon will draw and brandish his signature weapon, Shishiou-Maru, to use against the enemy.

• FINISHER Fist of the Beast King - Leomon will summon a large quantity of his inner power into his fist and thrust it at either his foe or the air. The power, akin to what flames look like, will take on the form of a lion’s head letting out a roar as this attacks’ unleashed. (Requires a two post cooldown to build up the energy needed within his body to perform this move.)





ENERGIZED

Species: GrapLeomon
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Beast Man Digimon
Family: Nature Spirits, Nightmare Soldiers
Level: Ultimate | Perfect
Attacks:

• Lion Cyclone Leg - GrapLeomon will grind the turbines on his legs at high speeds as he throws himself to his hands, spreading his legs apart as he spins himself around in a breakdance-like fashion, whipping up a whirlwind to either damage enemies who get too close to him, or to protect him from ranged or energy-based attacks. (Will only protect against one heavy attack as that will halt his movement. Requires one full post to activate, and a gap of one post before he can use it again. Note that he can only attack OR defend, not both.) 
• Turbine Kick - GrapLeomon will rush the enemy as he spins one of his legs’ turbines at high speeds before launching himself at his target, performing a powerful spinning whirlwind kick that will not only be painful, but deal grinding damage due to the turbine’s high number of revolutions, potentially sending the opponent flying in the direction of the turbine’s spin.
• FINISHER Lion Beast-Wave Chop - GrapLeomon will spin the turbines on his arms at maximum speeds before he steps forward, slicing both arms across as he releases a devastating wave of power and wind towards the enemy. Using this attack consumes a large portion of his energy, and may potentially de-Digivolve him to a lower stage if used too often.(Requires 3 posts to recharge. A second use will de-digivolve him)





SYNCHRONIZED

(Art by the awesome Leomon32)

Species: BanchouLeomon
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Beast Man Digimon
Family: Nature Spirits, Virus Busters
Level: Mega | Ultimate
Attacks:

• Flash Banchou Punch - BanchouLeomon will summon a large quantity of his power, dubbed “Chivalrous Spirit”, into his fist in a manner similar to “The Fist of the Beast King”, and releases it as a flaming projectile. This attack is nearly triple the speed and power of its predecessor, but consumes more energy to perform.
• Lion King Sword - BanchouLeomon brandishes his tantō blade, “The Man’s Soul”, and wields it against the opponent.
• Dojo Shield - A technique originally developed for training with the goal of avoiding collateral damage, BanchouLeomon will generate a complex chain of hand seals before summoning a tessellated honeycomb barrier around any allies standing near his location. The barrier is strong enough to block nearly any kind of attack (Three same level attacks, or one higher level attack), but will shatter if struck with a sustained move, a move that can overpower the shield itself, or at BanchouLeomon’s will. The shield takes at least one full post to generate, and will be cast on the second post. Lasts for up to three rounds, during which he cannot attack. Has an eight meter radius.
• Gang Leader’s Glare - BanchouLeomon will shoot a stern and cold stare at the opponent of his choice, inducing fear in the enemy and immobilizing them out of sheer terror. This fear lasts until BanchouLeomon’s next post, and prevents the user from attacking on the turn this move was used. (one use per opponent per battle. If an opponent is hit with the ability, they are able to shrug it off if he uses it again)
• Telekinesis - A rare skill learned by BanchouLeomon after extensive and torturous physical training had unlocked the power of his mind, as well as his body. Originally used for fighting training dummies, he will use the power of his mind to telekinetically lift objects of his size or smaller at will and use them to either defend himself or psychically throw them at the enemy. The attack consumes a large portion of his mental stamina, and will drain his power if continuously used. This attack is only called upon unless BanchouLeomon deems the situation impossible to win under normal circumstances.
• Vortex Eruption - BanchouLeomon envelops both hands in his Chivalrous Spirit, spinning rapidly as he “becomes” a whirling dervish of blazing power. He will perform one of two methods with this after he accumulates enough power:
o ”Fists of Fury” - BanchouLeomon will simply stop spinning after all of the power he accumulates is ready to be used and will channel the power throughout his entire body, taking on the appearance of a man on fire. This will boost the power of his physical striking moves and deal additional “burn damage” if the attacks connect. This lasts for two posts, until BanchouLeomon’s second post.
o ”Purge of Soul” - BanchouLeomon will release the accumulated amount of energy at the enemy as a raging whirlwind of blazing spirit and power, which will possibly entrap the foe inside of the eye of the vortex for that turn, dealing a fair amount of damage as it hits. As they remain inside the eye of the storm, they are unable to perform attacks as long as the flames remain in effect. Should they attempt to escape, the flames will deal tremendous damage to them, possibly inflicting severe burns. BanchouLeomon cannot unleash any attacks as long as the vortex remains for its duration, or until the flames are prematurely quenched.

(Bear in mind, both versions of vortex eruption requires three posts between use before he can attempt either one again.)

• Minefield Arc - BanchouLeomon will let loose a large quantity of supercharged orbs, composed of electrified plasma, which will be scattered around the battlefield at random. The orbs will be constantly charged, occasionally releasing arcs of energy and thunder along each other at random intervals. Anyone who directly touches these spheres will be filled with a tremendous surge of lightning. Digimon who are either larger, airborne, or of a metallic composition are more likely to be hit. (Lasts four posts, and can only be used once per day/battle, whichever comes last. This move is mainly to slow an enemy down, and will not specifically target them) 

(Locked untill purchased)
• FINISHER Magma Sphere - BanchouLeomon will summon a sphere of condensed magma about three meters across between the palms of his hands, pouring energy into the ball to make it expand in size and heat until it becomes white hot. He will perform one of two actions with the generated sphere:

o ”Sunburst Grenade” - BanchouLeomon will hurl his fist into the ball of energy, causing it to shatter and spray any and all enemies in front of him with a combination of his own power and super-hot magma in the form of lava bullets.
o ”Terra Bomb”- BanchouLeomon will hurl the sphere itself at the nearest enemy, which will then deal a tremendous amount of damage to the Digimon it hits. The magma that composes the base of the sphere will coat the Digimon that was hit and deal “burn damage” for three continuous turns before it cools off and falls off of the Digimon. 

Regardless of this attack’s success, it consumes a rather large portion of BanchouLeomon’s total energy upon use and may force him to either de-Digivolve to a lower stage or withdraw from the battle to conserve the last of his strength. If he doesn't de-digivolve, it will still take 4 posts for him to be able to use the move again.





MAXIMIZED

Species: BanchouLeomon: Burst Mode
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Beast Man Digimon
Family: Nature Spirits, Virus Busters
Level: Mega: Mode Shift | Ultimate: Mode Shift
Attacks:

• Burning Banchou Punch - BanchouLeomon will summon a large quantity of his power, dubbed “Chivalrous Spirit”, into his fist in a manner similar to “The Fist of the Beast King”, and releases it as a flaming projectile. This attack, while relatively the same as its weaker version, is twice as strong as “Flash Banchou Punch”, and has a wider area of attack.
• Lion King Sword - BanchouLeomon brandishes his tantō blade, “The Man’s Soul”, and wields it against the opponent.
• Dojo Shield - A technique originally developed for training with the goal of avoiding collateral damage, BanchouLeomon will generate a complex chain of hand seals before summoning a tessellated honeycomb barrier around any allies standing near his location.

This fear lasts until BanchouLeomon’s next post, and prevents the user from attacking on the turn this move was used. (Two uses per opponent per battle, must have a gap of at least three posts after the initial glare. If an opponent is hit with the ability, they are able to shrug it off if he uses it a third time).
• Telekinesis - A rare skill learned by BanchouLeomon after extensive and torturous physical training had unlocked the power of his mind, as well as his body. Originally used for fighting training dummies, he will use the power of his mind to telekinetically lift objects of his size or smaller at will and use them to either defend himself or psychically throw them at the enemy.

TOTALIZED

Species: ScarLeomon (Locked)
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Beast Man Digimon
Family: Nature Spirits, Virus Busters
Level: Biomerge: First Form | Matrix Evolution: First Form
Attacks:

• Flare Claw - ScarLeomon will summon blazing amounts of energy to his hands, increasing their temperature to extreme levels. He will then leap towards his enemy with his arms outstretched as he spins rapidly, to deal as much damage to the foe as possible in a whirling dervish of death.
• Bonds of Friendship - Josh and Leomon align their spirits with each other in perfect resonance, thereby calming their minds and easing their souls to properly focus in battle, increasing ScarLeomon’s speed and agility for three posts. (2 posts needed to recharge)
• Flare Reversal - ScarLeomon will take a hit from an energy or elemental-based attack, taking the full brunt of damage as well, before converting the energy that hit him into an orbiting arc of flame by channeling his own energy into the projectile, overriding the enemy’s data and “assimilating” the energy as his own for a temporary period of time. The arc of flame will encircle ScarLeomon or be manipulated to where he wishes, but can go no further than three feet from his current location, and can only deal half as much damage as the attack that had previously hit him had done. The arc of flame is dispelled after three posts. (requires a gap of a post between uses to avoid damage)
• FINISHER Solar Flare Vortex - By standing in place, ScarLeomon accumulates a large portion of energy, mixed with the energy from the sun, and gathers it in between the palms of his hands. After he acquires the desired amount of power, he will fire the energy he has gathered as a powerful, condensed beam of energy at the foe of choice. The skill takes one full post minimum to charge, followed by an additional post for each turn spent gathering power; and requires two posts of cooldown before ScarLeomon can use it again; cooldown is increased by two more turns based on how many turns ScarLeomon has spent charging the attack. The more turns spent charging, the more powerful the end result will be.





OPTIMIZED

Species: RiotLeomon (Locked)
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Beast Man Digimon
Family: Nature Spirits, Virus Busters
Level: Biomerge: Second Form | Matrix Evolution: Second Form
Attacks:

• Twin Beast Shot - RiotLeomon unsheathes a special pair of Magnum pistols, code named “Vengeance” and “Justice”, and begins to rapidly fire at the enemy of choice. The bullets themselves are made out of ultra-durable Digi-Chromazoid, are capable of piercing armor if the weapons sustain fire at a designated spot, and deal additional burn damage upon impact.
• Close Quarters Combat - RiotLeomon is a brutal expert of close quarters combat, acquiring extensive knowledge of humanoid anatomy and the body’s pressure point systems. Anyone who is foolish enough to let down their guard will be dealt severe, physical damage by RiotLeomon’s attacks, as he attacks the nervous weak spots of an enemy, dealing significant damage.
• Phase Shift - An evasive maneuver, RiotLeomon will evade the opponent’s attack so fast, it will look as if though it has literally passed right through him; in truth, the maneuver occurs in a split second. The move can only be used once per post, and must be recharged in two due to the high amounts of power and stamina it requires to perform.
• FINISHER Guerilla Warfare - RiotLeomon will hurl a flashbang grenade to the ground, temporarily blinding his opponents before he begins to encircle his target of choice as they remain blinded. The moment they recover their vision, they will encounter six, blue afterimages of RiotLeomon at equidistant points, encircling them at equivalent speeds. All six afterimages will then converge on the foe and strike for massive damage, but will leave RiotLeomon severely weakened and exposed for attack, due to the stamina it took to perform this move. (Takes at least two posts to recover enough to attempt again)




FINALIZED

Species: AegisLeomon
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Beast Man Digimon
Family: Nature Spirits, Virus Busters
Level: Biomerge: Perfect Form | Matrix Evolution: Perfect Form
Attacks:

• Instinct of the King - AegisLeomon’s mind will sharpen intensely until both instinct and his natural senses reach their maximum levels, which will allow him to pinpoint enemies even in the most extreme conditions, such as total darkness, fog, mist, or even in mid-air. This buff lasts for two posts, and ends at the end of AegisLeomon’s second post.
• Blade of Vulcan - AegisLeomon swings his personal sword, named “Augustus”, at the opponent. The sword itself, being forged of an unknown metallic substance and enchanted with the power of a fire deity, has the ability to melt rock and any foreign metals inferior to Digi-Chromazoid it touches, allowing him to cut into the earth and launch melted debris at the foe. The arc of the sword’s path is akin to an eruption of gas, molten rock, and dust.
• Pride of Lions - AegisLeomon summons multiple clones of himself from his own energy (up to five), divvying it up amongst the clones as they take the form of burning versions of himself. The clones are semi-tangible, and will be able to deal very small portions of damage on their own. Attacking the clones will disrupt their energy composition, causing them to grow unstable and explode in a fiery wave. Any clone that is destroyed by the opponent starts a chain reaction, causing the other clones to explode as well, dealing damage to the attacker if they d not react fast enough. This attack cannot be performed more than three times, as it consumes massive quantities of energy to distribute amongst each clone. (It will take three posts before he can do this a second time)
• Shield of Aegis - A thickened coat of molten Black Digi-Chromazoid will envelop AegisLeomon, coating him until he appears to be a solid blackened statue of himself. The attack will ramp up his defense against outside attacks tremendously, but because his entire body is coated in the substance, it will dramatically reduce his speed to nothing more than a crawl. The armor lasts for three posts. (Needs a gap of two posts to prevent over-exertion from when the armor fades to resummoning it)
• FINISHER Rage of the Emperor - AegisLeomon will summon his full power and ignite his body in searing flames, powered by his fighting spirit. The flames themselves, being an extension of his will, do no damage to himself, but will severely burn anyone who approaches at least ten feet within his general vicinity. The flames, as an extension of his fighting will, will dramatically increase his speed and his ability to defend against attacks dealt to him, but as he is literally pouring all of his power outward all at once, he is unable to use any special attacks for the remainder of the move’s duration, which is three posts. At the end of the third post, AegisLeomon will be completely exhausted of his energy reserves, and the Biomerge will be dispersed.
