Personality:
Stein is a stereotypical mad scientist in thought, word, and deed and his various personality traits apply as much in battle as they do outside it. Due to his insatiable curiosity, he pursues knowledge at any cost and views the whole world and everything in it, including himself not as individuals worthy of respect and care, but rather merely as guinea pigs to use in this eternal quest for knowledge. As if this were not bad enough, he blatantly disregards the personal rights of others (especially his specimens and/or research volunteers) and brooks no complaints from them, either about his research or the methodology that goes into it. This already reprehensible aspect of him is exacerbated even more by his lack of any modicum of inhibitions or qualms of any kind which could possibly regulate the methodology of his quest for knowledge.
Due to the rigorous demands and high focus his research and work as a physician-scientist needs and has, he is strictly objective almost all the time and is almost impervious to most sentiments, being moved to act only by the cold logic of a situation or by his desire for knowledge. In keeping with this strictly objective POV, his face looks stern, distant, and inscrutably emotionless almost all the time. That said, he is very protective and is wholly invested in his research and so, he usually tends to be very reclusive and reticent about his work. He also doesn’t trust others very much and believes everyone around him is out to take his beloved research away from him. So, he tends to have no allegiance to anyone or anything but himself…and of course, his digimon since they are his specimens, research assistants, and guardians.
Toward anyone else, especially if he knows for certain that they are weaker/less capable than himself, he has an insufferable superiority complex which often gets him into trouble with them since it makes him act in a condescending manner towards them. To make things worse, he is also extremely manipulative of others, and this includes his digimon. Of course, in this latter case, he does tend to ease up a little on his manipulative aspect because he knows full well that for his plans to truly succeed, he needs to keep them around for the aforementioned reasons. Even though he has a superiority complex, he realizes that neither him nor anything or anyone else in the world is perfect. In fact, he actually abhors the concept of perfection and ridicules anyone and anything which claims to be perfect since to him, perfection is nothing more than a stagnant state which doesn’t allow for any sort of improvement or progress.
To his credit though, despite having all these defects, he does also have some saving graces, though some may consider these to be a blessing and a curse simultaneously. The first is his determination which lets him persevere diligently and see each of his research projects till the end, for better or worse. However, this can also be a drawback since, at the same time, it does also make him quite headstrong and stubborn as a result of which, he can be quite intractable to any attempts to sway him toward any path other than the one he sees lying before him. Then, there is his objectivity of view and his ability to stay emotionally detached regardless of whatever may be going on around him. While this does help him keep a calm and clear mind in all but the most trying of situations, it also means he is utterly oblivious to the emotional needs of others.
Besides this, he is quite passionate, driven, and focused when he is hooked and this give him the advantage of being able to avoid many common distractions which may otherwise impede his research. However, it can also be a negative thing because it does cause him to ignore everything else, like the basic everyday things like personal maintenance, for example. In addition to this, he prefers to be as efficient as possible in thought, word, and deed and this is a boon since it allows him to delegate resources properly to where they are needed and saves time which he can then spend on other projects or studies, but it also makes him speak very bluntly since, to him, hiding the truth behind any kind of façade just to make it palatable to his audience is a waste of effort. Naturally, this tends to get him into trouble with others, especially those among his audience who may take issue with his lack of verbal filters. When confronted with most emotional issues, especially the issue of romance, his face tends to turn blank and clueless.
Then, there is his tendency to warn people of potential dangers when he sees them coming, but if it is a specimen which intrigues him enough to want it, he has no qualms in lying and doing whatever he has to acquire said specimen, even though his actions may cost him and his allies a crucial victory or even if doing so would lead to massive casualties on his side. Finally, there is his innovativeness as well as his cerebral and eccentric nature. His innovative side and his cerebral nature do give him the ability to solve most if not all the problems he may face, but they also give him that insatiable curiosity which causes him to want to take apart and analyze everything and everyone around him if they happen to intrigue him. This tendency to want to analyze everything when combined with his innately observant aspect of his nature leads him to lurk about observing everyone and everything around him in order to glean any valuable intelligence about them which he can put to some use or another and so, he can notice things most tend to overlook in their surroundings.
Besides this, there is the cautious aspect of his nature which he now has because he not only inherited it from his parents, but also trained steadily since childhood. This means he never even enters into an area or situation without researching it thorough through remote means, whether it’s by sending his digimon ahead of him, planting hidden surveillance devices on one of his purported allies, or some other ways as well. He usually ensures that he at least has a handful of main action plans, a handful of backup plans to handle common contingencies, and escape plans for the worst-case scenarios. This cautious nature combined with his innately super tier curiosity causes him to use any and all situations he enters as a series of field tests for any new techniques or gadgets or anything else he is developing, with both him and any opponents/enemies acting as the guinea pigs. He tends to keep his distance from his opponents while gleaning information on them which he then puts to use to slowly but surely overwhelm them over the course of the confrontation. Of course, if it means getting his hands on some exciting source of new or otherwise unfamiliar knowledge, this cautious aspect of him tends to take a backseat, though he will still try to maintain some baseline version of it even when hunting said knowledge.
Finally, there is his extreme, unbridled eccentricity which, though beneficial in that nobody who is willing to hang out with him would be assured of never getting bored and any potential enemies can never quite accurately predict his next move, can also be quite the obstacle in his interpersonal relationships since he is not only highly unconventional and prone to doing things which others find rather disconcerting, but also because it makes him a very difficult subordinate since any authority figures tend to have trouble accepting his highly whimsical behavior. This eccentricity extends to his practice as a physician-scientist and when combined with his lack of moral compass, means he usually resorts to highly unorthodox treatment methods which, though remarkably effective…may just come with some unsavory side-effects as well for any patient that puts themselves under his care. The last effect of this eccentric side of him is that he occasionally tends to behave in a very out of character way, which may throw some for quite the surprising loop (e.g. making esoteric puns and references, randomly fluffing some particularly fluffy digimon when they least expect it, bursting out into a maniacal laugh like some stereotypical supervillain/ mad scientist when one of his research projects comes to fruition, displaying an uncharacteristically high level of excitement whilst in the presence of any sophisticated technology or anything completely unfamiliar to him, making unorthodox and impromptu changes to any battle strategy or even scrapping it entirely mid battle, etc.)

Formal Outfit
----------
Appearance (Written):
Overall:
Physique:
Faustein is 5' 7" tall, weighs in at 140 lb., and has a medium-heavy bone structure. His skin is very pale and maybe even somewhat sallow in appearance. Due to the constant traveling he does and the intermittent exposure to the elements as well as the various substances he deals with in his practice as a physician-scientist, his skin is also very coarse and dry to the touch. He has very thick, coarse, and dry hair which is mostly white at the base, but melds into dark green towards the tips. He never bothers to keep it tamed due to his inherently lazy nature and also because it tends to get disheveled anyway over the course of his research. He has a generally ovoid head like any other regular human. He also has some distinctive facial features such as: gaunt cheeks with high-set cheekbones, a high and wide forehead, as well as thin, roughly almond shaped eyes with the usual round pupils and bright crimson red irides. The last of his distinctive facial features are his gently tapered chin and his somewhat strongly set, somewhat sharply defined jawline.
He has a slender, slightly longer than normal neck with a very prominent Adam's apple. His back and shoulders are broad and well developed with lean, well defined, clearly visible musculature due to his own basic physical conditioning and also because he often has to exert himself physically during his travels and research. All across his torso, both the front and back aspects, he has no more than an ounce of fat anywhere since he almost constantly forgets to maintain a proper meal schedule, especially when he is wrapped up in one of his long-term research projects. His upper limbs are of average length and just like the rest of his body, they too possess lean, well defined musculature. Due to his medium-heavy set bone structure, his wrists are slightly larger than normal and his hands are also larger and more muscular than average too due to the near constant use in his various physical exertions. In contrast, however, his fingers are longer than average and have a rather skeletal look to them.
He has a narrow waist and hips, again due to the veritable lack of body fat, especially the abdominal type. Below, he has lower limbs which are longer than average and like the rest of him, his lower limbs also have not more than an ounce of fat anywhere. As a result, like everywhere else on him, his lower limb musculature is also clearly visible and well defined, but also due to the effect of his physical exertions and specific training as well. Like his wrists, due to his medium heavy bone structure, his ankles are also slightly bigger than average as are his feet. However, like his fingers, his toes are also quite spindly in appearance. The rest of him is similarly well endowed due to the many genetic gifts he has inherited from both sides of his family.
---------------------
Attire:
Faustein prefers to keep his attire preferences as simple and practical as possible, although he does sometimes give in to flights of fancy to indulge his flair for the dramatic. So, at home by himself, he usually just wears a muscle tee of some shade of color along with PJs of some color (never pink though because he hates that color). At home, he usually doesn’t bother with footwear, but if pressed to wear some, he would go for simple geta shoes. If at home, but entertaining guests, then of course, he would wear a semi-formal long sleeved Western style shirt with a traditional Japanese ballooning hakama (edited to able to equip a tactical utility belt) with the usual male undergarments along with the same geta shoes for footwear.
When out and about, but not at work, he usually prefers to don a simple semi-formal t-shirt and tactical utility belt equipped cargo shorts of some color along with the usual male undergarments (none of them being pink). For footwear in this situation, he prefers to use standard long tabi boots of some color (except pink). When out and about at work, either at his profession as a physician-scientist or just taking on client requests, over the usual male undergarments, he wears his formal work outfit, that being a high collar, below knee length doctor’s white coat with long sleeved formal white shirt of some color and a crimson red colored necktie. Below that, he wears a tactical utility belt equipped, dark colored formal pants and for footwear, he wears formal patent leather, black or brown western style shoes.
For any other situation, he dresses as the occasion or environment demands of him (e.g. swim trunks at a swimming pool, weather appropriate clothing in accordance to the seasons, a 3- piece tuxedo and formal black shoes for really formal events, etc.). While traveling, he can usually be seen in his work outfit and maybe with a thick white trench coat over it and a white fedora with a dark blue silk band around the top on his head over that.
--------------
Extra:
- His eyes have prominent dark circles beneath them because of the marked degree of sleep deprivation he suffers from due to the stress and demands of his practice as well as the effort he puts in to accomplish his never- ending research goals.
- His lips have a noticeable dark discoloration because his body is always somewhat oxygen deprived not only because of a certain inherent genetic defect, but also due to constant exposure to the various chemical substances which he tests on himself as part of his research.
- The most distinctive features of his neck and torso are the thick rope like tattoo which is seen around his neck and the large patch of mismatched skin bounded by two healed suture lines which lies diagonally across his torso, from top of his left shoulder to the bottom of his right hip.
- Unfortunately, like his neck and torso, the rest of him is also marred by innumerable healed scars, suture lines, and various other types of blemishes and imperfections which he has acquired over the long course of his ongoing research.

FaceClaim: DR. STONE • Senkū Ishigami • Faustein Kuroyakushi (played by KuroFaust66)
Personal History:
Faustein’s story begins with that of his parents, his father being a man named “Siegfried Faustein” and his mother being a woman named “Izanami Kuroyakushi”. They had met during a medical conference in the U.S. and so became entangled with each other. Initially, they hated each other’s guts, but eventually they did warm up to each other. Their respective families noticed this, and after a thorough cross examination of each other, decided to unite them in a sort of political marriage which was intended to be a stepping stone toward a future where the two sides would be allied with each other and be sharing their respective stores of knowledge, resources, and so on with each other for the purposes of advancing their fame, wealth, and influence in society. Then, in due course, they brought Faustein into the world and since he was the only child of these two heirs to the sides, the elders agreed to name him the heir to the future leadership position of the alliance as well as of the two respective sides.
His childhood started off being fairly normal, and thanks to his excellent genetic heritage, he showed a great deal of promise right from childhood, especially in his aptitude for science and mathematics and also in his his high IQ, which was clocked at 180 points. So, his parents decided to bring him onto the fast track to prepare him for capitalizing on that aptitude for science and mathematics, mainly by trying to enter him in rigorous private tutoring sessions dealing with the beginner level knowledge in the sciences and mathematics. However, much to their surprise, he stubbornly resisted their efforts to fit him into their envisioned mold since he wanted to enjoy his childhood like other regular kids. Realizing that they wouldn’t be able to convince him to reconsider, his parents decided to let him do as he pleased instead for they were confident in the fact that, sooner or later, he would learn about the dark side to the world around him, and would come back to them so that they could enact their original plan for him.
He did enjoy doing the things that other kids normally did for quite a while, and whenever they had time and he had a considerable amount of vacation time, his parents took him on camping trips in various locales in the U.S, usually during the summer. They did this not only to be able to spend time bonding as a family, but also for the purposes of teaching him basic outdoor survival skills so that he wouldn’t be caught flatfooted and without recourse should he ever come to need them at any point in the future. In this manner, time marched on for them until finally he came to high school and entered his teenage years. It was during these years that he became acquainted with the darker side of those whom he had considered his friends up until then. There had been a series of events during his sophomore year of high school which led to him to figuring out that the people he had considered to be his friends till then had been just exploiting his talents for their own benefit and never did really consider him their friend, but rather were just putting up the façade of friendship to hide their ulterior motives.
Needless to say, he was quite broken up about this, but instead of taking revenge or anything edgy like that, he simply cut them off unceremoniously without giving them any preamble or warning. Not only did he cut them off, but he also vowed to himself that he would never bother with anything cheesy like emotions, friends, or even a social life ever again. Instead, he threw himself almost entirely into his studies from then on and to this end, he accepted his parents’ proposition of fast tracking him into the science and mathematics realms of knowledge through private tutoring. That said, he did have his craving for watching anime and reading a variety of manga, so he tried to stay in touch with them by watching as many anime and reading as many manga as possible whenever he was in need of a break from his studies. Furthermore, he also did indulge his interest in strategy and war games, mainly through playing offline solo player versions of games like Age of Empires and the Civilization series. This helped him two ways: the first helped him by offering pure relaxation and the second was useful since it let him pick up basic strategic and tactical skills. Thus, his high school years came to an end and he finally graduated with honors due to all the effort he had placed into completing his studies.
During this time, something else was born inside him too, that is, the obsession with the quest for knowledge which would remain with him lifelong. This obsession only grew stronger once he had gotten admission to Harvard U for the usual 4-year liberal arts undergrad college education. His entry into his college life went off well enough and he started to distinguish himself right from freshman year though since his focus was mainly on studies and he made a point of avoiding having a social life, his freshman year was fairly uneventful besides the excitement he got from being involved in basic science research as part of his biology major curriculum. Then, during his summer vacation time, as per usual, he spent time with his parents going on camping trips where he had the chance to put his outdoor survival skills to the test. To this list, he also added basic knowledge of MMA skills which he started learning from his mother who was quite proficient in it from having been born to parents who ran a mixed martial arts dojo back in Tokyo, Japan.
After this came his sophomore year, during which he formally declared his major as biology and took up a minor in Spanish since his parents felt it would be useful for later entry into medical school and future practice as a physician-scientist. Along with these, since there was a high-level humanities program at Harvard, he was able to make a bit more progress in his knowledge and skills in general linguistics and other humanities disciplines too which he had started taking in his freshman year like most of his peers. Thankfully, due to his ability to manage his time effectively, he was not only able to complete his day to day scholastic assignments and tests, but also continued his involvement in basic science research under the guidance of his professors. This fed his obsession with the quest for knowledge even more which eventually caused him to try delving into some rather obscure kinds of experiments, albeit still fully legal. And so, his sophomore year also went by with him luckily still being able to indulge his obsession with offline solo player war and strategy PC games occasionally whenever he was not busy with his research projects or his regular coursework.
As always, during the summer, when he returned home, he was able to spend time with his parents going on camping trips when feasible, or working on learning his mother tongues some more, or otherwise progressing ever farther in his practice of MMA, although it was still fairly basic because he couldn’t spend as much time on it as he used to before due to his now increased academic responsibilities. Then, came his junior and senior years where, as per the usual trend, he started prepping for even higher studies and as a result, he ended up putting his hobbies and other extracurricular activities on the back burner with the intention of returning to indulging them when he had a bit more time on his hands. As a result of focusing more on his studies and also on the basic science research he was involved in, he was able to get a high GPA and eventually graduated again with honors. However, for the time being, he figured he would take it easy for a bit while trying to figure out what he wanted to do next in his academic career.
Still, he didn’t completely relax and to ensure he wouldn’t lose sight of his ultimate goal of quest for knowledge and also in an attempt to narrow down his preferences for possible future careers in the healthcare sector, he took some time to enlist in a shadowing program over the course of the next year or so after which, he resumed the application process. His interest in anime and manga had sparked a general interest in Japanese culture as a whole by this time and so, he applied to the medical science program, specifically an M.D./Ph.D. type at Tokyo U. since he figured it would let him experience immersion in Japanese culture while also letting him pursue his higher studies into the medical field. Thanks to his excellent track record throughout his academic career till that point and also due to the extracurricular activities he had done to prepare for this phase, he was able to gain admission to this prestigious institution. Thus, his college years came to a close and he began the move toward the next phase in his education.
After working with his parents to get all the requisite paperwork done, he set off for Tokyo, Japan. Once he arrived, he was taken in by his mother’s parents and the rest of their clan and so, didn’t have to worry about lodging or any other basic necessities. As a result, he could focus his efforts on getting ready for his entry into the Tokyo U. student body. In due course, his medical school life at Tokyo U. began and like before, eventually, he was able to make a name for himself due to his academic prowess. Unlike before though, the time he had available to spend on his non-academic activities declined still further, albeit not completely. So, he was still able to find some little time now and then to indulge his hobbies or work on his supplementary skills and talents. Time went on in that fashion from his first year to his last and finally, he was able to graduate as one of the top students yet again and had even co-authored a couple of research papers with some of the more willing and accommodating of his professors. After graduation, he was able to link up with one of the hospitals in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo and formally began his professional life at the age of 27 years. Along with this, he also began indulging his fascination with more and more obscure, exotic kinds of research. Unfortunately, however, he couldn’t actually cross over into the truly exotic research which was the dominion of “mad science” due to how the law was structured and also because of ethical impediments. So, he was forced to begrudgingly content himself with skirting or toeing that line every time, although he did dream every night of the day when he would be able to work on such ventures without any of these aforementioned annoying hindrances.
Things were relatively calm and peaceful for the first year or so of his professional life, but then, in the second year of his career, there came those mysterious incidents during that one particular Golden Week when people claimed to have borne witness to strange sightings as well as strange inexplicable events in and around central Shibuya. Naturally, his innately insatiable curiosity wouldn’t let him rest peacefully. So, he tried to investigate these rumors and the incidents pertaining to them to the best of his ability, but alas…it was to no avail. He didn’t find anything of much significance, so his interest in said events faded away after a while. Things once again returned to normal for him, that is to say, going to work in the hospital he was affiliated with now and then returning home late in the evening, and when there was any bit of free time, spending it on indulging his hobbies and working on his nonacademic skills and his personal research projects as far as said downtime would allow of him. However, something strange was waiting in the wings, ready to assail him once more. That said, this series of events started in a fairly innocuous manner, namely with him having obtained a simple little V-Pet device.
It had actually come as a surprise to him from a cereal box he had bought a few days earlier. One certain morning, he had been getting ready to have his usual cereal breakfast when the device literally dropped from the box and fell into his bowl of hot milk and half-soggy cereal, causing the milk and cereal to splash onto his dining table, thus making a major mess. As he wasn’t expecting this to happen, he was understandably alarmed, but thankfully, he was the type to quickly regain his composure, so that’s what he did…after which he proceeded to quickly take the V-Pet device out of the bowl and clean it up as far as possible. Hoping, but not expecting it to be intact after that fiasco, he locked it away for the time being and then went about the rest of his day. After coming home, however, he tried out his new V-Pet device out of curiosity and so, added another activity to his daily routine henceforth. However, that's all it was, a relaxing activity which he could indulge in when he had a little downtime from his job and wasn't preoccupied with any of his research projects either. Little did he know, though, that this small, quaint, innocuous looking device would soon change his life forever.

Gender: N/A
Alignment: Team Mad Science
Skills/Talents:
- Battlefield Analysis
- Unshakeable Composure (Almost)
Inventory: Mini Battery Pack
Personality:
Like most other true Machine Digimon, this Kokuwamon is also characterized by an uncanny ability to maintain its composure in all but the most trying of circumstances...possibly due to the lack of an emotion protocol being programmed into it. However, unlike all other Machine Digimon, this one has one little chink in this seemingly unassailable armor. This chink involves it being overcome by what would very likely be excitement when in the presence of sophisticated technology. The degree of excitement displayed is always directly proportional to the level of aforementioned sophistication of the technology in question. Finally, like all other Kokuwamon, this one is also quite docile and thus, it prefers tranquility and pacifism over aggression in its interactions with others and in general as well. It also has a habit of acting and speaking like a stereotypical robot, regardless of whether its operating alone or interacting with others.
Personal History:
Originally, this Kokuwamon was actually part of a Mekanorimon which had DNA digivolved from the combination of this Kokuwamon and its steadfast ally, ShadowToyAgumon. However, at some point in the past, it was apparently involved in a particularly grueling battle against some rather ruthless enemies which were after the fused Digi-Core of the Mekanorimon for some unknown reason. Fortunately, due to some internal strife that had developed among this enemy group, they began to disagree on how to deal with the Mekanorimon. As a result, the leader simply destroyed it instead, causing both of its components, this Kokuwamon and its DNA partner, ShadowToyAgumon, to be reformatted into a single Digi-Egg. This egg then appeared in a certain Primary Village in the Metal Empire Digimon's territory. After some time, this Kokuwamon hatched from this same Digi-Egg simultaneously with its DNA partner, ShadowToyAgumon. This Kokuwamon then spent the necessary time developing to its Rookie form, aka Kokuwamon, and then it set out to explore the world along with its DNA partner ShadowToyAgumon which had also evolved to its Rookie form. Eventually, it came across and somehow managed to save a certain human known as Faustein Kuroyakushi, at which point he became its Xros General because of his Digivice establishing a binding link with it, just as it did with its DNA partner, ShadowToyAgumon.

Species: Kokuwamon
Appearance:
Attribute: Steel/Electric
Attribute applied to Xros: Steel OR Electric
Role in Xros form: Usually Head, but can vary depending on situational needs
Family/ies: Metal Empire
Type: Machine
Fighting Style:
Un-Xrosed
Since it prefers pacifism over aggression, it actually tends to avoid engaging the enemy/opponent if it should ever be caught alone. However, if pushed it will usually attempt to stick of evasive maneuvers while analyzing their battle style for any openings or weaknesses. After that, it will try to immobilize them with its electrical attacks or otherwise inflict as much pain as it possibly can via vise-like grips using its solid steel pincers in an effort to drive them away. Naturally, since it's a Machine type Digimon, it doesn't feel pain from enemy attacks. So, it is able to continue engaging the enemy in combat till the enemy either gives up, is destroyed, or destroys it.
------
Xrosed
When Xrosed, it usually acts as the brains controlling the form's actions and decisions due to its uncanny ability to maintain composure in just about any situation. In addition to this, if there is no other sensory element taking part in the Xros form, then it can also double as the sensory element. However, since it fully realizes that the others in the Xros form will almost always be physically more capable than itself, it delegates any and all physical exertion to them while focusing on guiding said physical exertion with its tactical analyses. If necessary, it will also channel its Electric element through the form to amplify the form's speed and physical strikes as well as to inflict immobilizing paralysis on any susceptible targets upon impact. Otherwise, it is able to boost the form's defenses by channeling its Steel element through it, depending on the form in question.
Abilities:
Support Subroutine Epsilon: Tacti-Helm (COMBAT PASSIVE)
Due to its inherently high-spec tactical analysis protocols stored in its head, Kokuwamon is able to constantly analyze all the elements of the battle and the battlefield to gain a strategic advantage against the target(s). This ability boosts the base damage of Kokuwamon's offensive abilities by +30%.
Combat Subroutine Alpha: Dis-Assembler: (COMBAT ACTIVE)
Kokuwamon attacks the target with its vise-like metal scissor claws in an attempt to dismantle its defenses. Upon successful impact, this ability causes minor Steel element damage to the target and inflicts a 50% debuff to the target's Defense for the next 2 posts. 2 post cool down.
Combat Subroutine Beta: Lightning Arrow (COMBAT ACTIVE)
Kokuwamon spends 1 post to gather a mass of Electric element energy between the taser like horns on its head and in the next post, it fires this energy at the target in the form of a miniature lightning bolt. Upon successful impact, this ability causes moderate Electric element damage to the target and immobilizes it for the next 1 post. 3 post cool down.
Combat Subroutine Gamma: Mjölnir Impact (COMBAT ACTIVE)
Kokuwamon spends 1 post to gather a mass of Electric element energy in its thick metal legs and in the next post, it somersaults through the air towards the target. Once within range, it attempts to land a electrified double axe kick upon the target's head. Upon successful impact, this ability causes major Electric and Steel elemental damage to the target and silences it for the next 1 post. 3 post cool down.

However, unlike all other Puppet Digimon, this one has one little chink in this seemingly unassailable armor. This chink involves it being overcome by what would very likely be excitement when in the presence of sophisticated technology. The degree of excitement displayed is always directly proportional to the level of aforementioned sophistication of the technology in question. In fact, it finds any technology it encounters, whether sophisticated or not, so fascinating that it almost always gives in to the urge to dismantle said piece to technology to analyze every component and therefore, has to be actively restrained by the rest of Team Mad Science. Finally, like all other ShadowToyAgumon, this one is also quite mean-spirited and thus, it seems to have a predilection for tormenting little kids, whether they be human or Digimon. It also has a habit of acting and speaking like a stereotypical robot, regardless of whether its operating alone or interacting with others.

As a result, the leader simply destroyed it instead, causing both of its components, this ShadowToyAgumon and its DNA partner, Kokuwamon, to be reformatted into a single Digi-Egg. This egg then appeared in a certain Primary Village in the Metal Empire Digimon's territory. After some time, this ShadowToyAgumon hatched from this same Digi-Egg simultaneously with its DNA partner, Kokuwamon. This ShadowToyAgumon then spent the necessary time developing to its Rookie form, aka ShadowToyAgumon, and then it set out to explore the world along with its DNA partner, Kokuwamon, which had also evolved to its Rookie form. Eventually, it came across and somehow managed to save a certain human known as Faustein Kuroyakushi, at which point he became its Xros General because of his Digivice establishing a binding link with it, just as it did with its DNA partner, Kokuwamon.
Primary Partner 2
Species: ShadowToyAgumon
Appearance:
Attribute: Steel/Fire
Attribute applied to Xros: Steel OR Fire
Role in Xros form: Usually Center or Body, but can vary depending on the situational needs
Family/ies: Metal Empire
Type: Puppet
Fighting Style:
Un-Xrosed:
Unlike the Kokuwamon that is its twin partner, this ShadowToyAgumon has somewhat more of a predilection for getting involved in combat, especially if it is in its favor, whether it happens to be alone or with the rest of Team Mad Science. However, like many other Machine and Puppet type Digimon, it has that same relentless drive to try to overrun the target and will not stop in its quest to destroy its target even in the face of the enemy's submission or pleas for mercy. The only other situation where it would stop is the one in which its own destruction is brought about at the hands of said target or if its Xros General or its twin partner forcefully restrains it for whatever reason. Its usual strategy of choice when alone is therefore one that is popularly known as "Shock and Awe".
Xrosed:
Although its inclination for engaging in combat is stronger than that of its twin, this ShadowToyAgumon still is more coldly robotic than most of Team Mad Science. It also knows that the rest of Team Mad Science are more skilled than itself in terms of sheer fighting power and other qualities, except evasion which tends to be its forte due to its nature as a ToyAgumon. So, whenever part of an Xros, it handles the evasive maneuvers and lets the other components manage the rest of the form's functions. It also acts as a conduit or relay station between whichever component happens to be the Head and the rest of the Body whenever necessary. If ever the need arises, it can also channel either its Steel element into the form to boost its defenses or its Fire element to increase the form's...*fire*power.
Abilities:
Support Protocol Epsilon: Dismantled Chassis (COMBAT PASSIVE)
Due to its nature as a ToyAgumon which lets it disassemble its body components at will, ShadowToyAgumon is able to dismantle its body whenever necessary to evade a target's attacks and counterattacks. This ability boosts ShadowToyAgumon's base evasion rate by +30%.
Combat Subroutine Alpha: Machine Assault (COMBAT ACTIVE)
ShadowToyAgumon attacks the target twice, inflicting hard blows upon it with its solid metal block shaped limbs. Upon successful impact, this ability deals minor Steel element damage to the target and inflicts a 50% debuff to the target's Attack for the next 2 posts. 2 post cool down.
Combat Subroutine Beta: Plastic Blaze (COMBAT ACTIVE)
ShadowToyAgumon spends 1 post to gather Fire element energy in its mouth and then in the next post, it fires this energy at the target in the form of a miniature plastic missile shaped like a flame. Upon successful impact, this missile explodes causing small flames to erupt on the struck area. These flames do 25% of this ability's base damage to the target for the next 2 posts, resulting in moderate Fire damage overall. 3 post cool down
Combat Subroutine Gamma: Block Rockets (COMBAT ACTIVE)
ShadowToyAgumon spends 1 post to gather a mass of Fire element energy in its solid metal block shaped limbs and then in the next post, it uses this energy along with its natural ability to disassemble its body at will to fire its upper limbs like a pair of rockets at the target. Upon successful impact, this ability deals major Steel and Fire damage as well as silences them for the next 1 post. 3 post cool down.

Digivice: Basic Fusion Loader
======
Personality:
Stein is a stereotypical mad scientist in thought, word, and deed and his various personality traits apply as much in battle as they do outside it. Due to his insatiable curiosity, he pursues knowledge at any cost and views the whole world and everything in it, including himself not as individuals worthy of respect and care, but rather merely as guinea pigs to use in this eternal quest for knowledge. As if this were not bad enough, he blatantly disregards the personal rights of others (especially his specimens and/or research volunteers) and brooks no complaints from them, either about his research or the methodology that goes into it. This already reprehensible aspect of him is exacerbated even more by his lack of any modicum of inhibitions or qualms of any kind which could possibly regulate the methodology of his quest for knowledge.
Due to the rigorous demands and high focus his research and work as a physician-scientist needs and has, he is strictly objective almost all the time and is almost impervious to most sentiments, being moved to act only by the cold logic of a situation or by his desire for knowledge. In keeping with this strictly objective POV, his face looks stern, distant, and inscrutably emotionless almost all the time. That said, he is very protective and is wholly invested in his research and so, he usually tends to be very reclusive and reticent about his work. He also doesn’t trust others very much and believes everyone around him is out to take his beloved research away from him. So, he tends to have no allegiance to anyone or anything but himself…and of course, his digimon since they are his specimens, research assistants, and guardians.
Toward anyone else, especially if he knows for certain that they are weaker/less capable than himself, he has an insufferable superiority complex which often gets him into trouble with them since it makes him act in a condescending manner towards them. To make things worse, he is also extremely manipulative of others, and this includes his digimon. Of course, in this latter case, he does tend to ease up a little on his manipulative aspect because he knows full well that for his plans to truly succeed, he needs to keep them around for the aforementioned reasons. Even though he has a superiority complex, he realizes that neither him nor anything or anyone else in the world is perfect. In fact, he actually abhors the concept of perfection and ridicules anyone and anything which claims to be perfect since to him, perfection is nothing more than a stagnant state which doesn’t allow for any sort of improvement or progress.
To his credit though, despite having all these defects, he does also have some saving graces, though some may consider these to be a blessing and a curse simultaneously. The first is his determination which lets him persevere diligently and see each of his research projects till the end, for better or worse. However, this can also be a drawback since, at the same time, it does also make him quite headstrong and stubborn as a result of which, he can be quite intractable to any attempts to sway him toward any path other than the one he sees lying before him. Then, there is his objectivity of view and his ability to stay emotionally detached regardless of whatever may be going on around him. While this does help him keep a calm and clear mind in all but the most trying of situations, it also means he is utterly oblivious to the emotional needs of others.
Besides this, he is quite passionate, driven, and focused when he is hooked and this give him the advantage of being able to avoid many common distractions which may otherwise impede his research. However, it can also be a negative thing because it does cause him to ignore everything else, like the basic everyday things like personal maintenance, for example. In addition to this, he prefers to be as efficient as possible in thought, word, and deed and this is a boon since it allows him to delegate resources properly to where they are needed and saves time which he can then spend on other projects or studies, but it also makes him speak very bluntly since, to him, hiding the truth behind any kind of façade just to make it palatable to his audience is a waste of effort. Naturally, this tends to get him into trouble with others, especially those among his audience who may take issue with his lack of verbal filters. When confronted with most emotional issues, especially the issue of romance, his face tends to turn blank and clueless.
Then, there is his tendency to warn people of potential dangers when he sees them coming, but if it is a specimen which intrigues him enough to want it, he has no qualms in lying and doing whatever he has to acquire said specimen, even though his actions may cost him and his allies a crucial victory or even if doing so would lead to massive casualties on his side. Finally, there is his innovativeness as well as his cerebral and eccentric nature. His innovative side and his cerebral nature do give him the ability to solve most if not all the problems he may face, but they also give him that insatiable curiosity which causes him to want to take apart and analyze everything and everyone around him if they happen to intrigue him. This tendency to want to analyze everything when combined with his innately observant aspect of his nature leads him to lurk about observing everyone and everything around him in order to glean any valuable intelligence about them which he can put to some use or another and so, he can notice things most tend to overlook in their surroundings.
Besides this, there is the cautious aspect of his nature which he now has because he not only inherited it from his parents, but also trained steadily since childhood. This means he never even enters into an area or situation without researching it thorough through remote means, whether it’s by sending his digimon ahead of him, planting hidden surveillance devices on one of his purported allies, or some other ways as well. He usually ensures that he at least has a handful of main action plans, a handful of backup plans to handle common contingencies, and escape plans for the worst-case scenarios. This cautious nature combined with his innately super tier curiosity causes him to use any and all situations he enters as a series of field tests for any new techniques or gadgets or anything else he is developing, with both him and any opponents/enemies acting as the guinea pigs. He tends to keep his distance from his opponents while gleaning information on them which he then puts to use to slowly but surely overwhelm them over the course of the confrontation. Of course, if it means getting his hands on some exciting source of new or otherwise unfamiliar knowledge, this cautious aspect of him tends to take a backseat, though he will still try to maintain some baseline version of it even when hunting said knowledge.
Finally, there is his extreme, unbridled eccentricity which, though beneficial in that nobody who is willing to hang out with him would be assured of never getting bored and any potential enemies can never quite accurately predict his next move, can also be quite the obstacle in his interpersonal relationships since he is not only highly unconventional and prone to doing things which others find rather disconcerting, but also because it makes him a very difficult subordinate since any authority figures tend to have trouble accepting his highly whimsical behavior. This eccentricity extends to his practice as a physician-scientist and when combined with his lack of moral compass, means he usually resorts to highly unorthodox treatment methods which, though remarkably effective…may just come with some unsavory side-effects as well for any patient that puts themselves under his care. The last effect of this eccentric side of him is that he occasionally tends to behave in a very out of character way, which may throw some for quite the surprising loop (e.g. making esoteric puns and references, randomly fluffing some particularly fluffy digimon when they least expect it, bursting out into a maniacal laugh like some stereotypical supervillain/ mad scientist when one of his research projects comes to fruition, displaying an uncharacteristically high level of excitement whilst in the presence of any sophisticated technology or anything completely unfamiliar to him, making unorthodox and impromptu changes to any battle strategy or even scrapping it entirely mid battle, etc.)

Appearance (Picture):
Usual Outfit:
Formal Outfit
----------
Appearance (Written):
Overall:
Physique:
Faustein is 5' 7" tall, weighs in at 140 lb., and has a medium-heavy bone structure. His skin is very pale and maybe even somewhat sallow in appearance. Due to the constant traveling he does and the intermittent exposure to the elements as well as the various substances he deals with in his practice as a physician-scientist, his skin is also very coarse and dry to the touch. He has very thick, coarse, and dry hair which is mostly white at the base, but melds into dark green towards the tips. He never bothers to keep it tamed due to his inherently lazy nature and also because it tends to get disheveled anyway over the course of his research. He has a generally ovoid head like any other regular human. He also has some distinctive facial features such as: gaunt cheeks with high-set cheekbones, a high and wide forehead, as well as thin, roughly almond shaped eyes with the usual round pupils and bright crimson red irides. The last of his distinctive facial features are his gently tapered chin and his somewhat strongly set, somewhat sharply defined jawline.
He has a slender, slightly longer than normal neck with a very prominent Adam's apple. His back and shoulders are broad and well developed with lean, well defined, clearly visible musculature due to his own basic physical conditioning and also because he often has to exert himself physically during his travels and research. All across his torso, both the front and back aspects, he has no more than an ounce of fat anywhere since he almost constantly forgets to maintain a proper meal schedule, especially when he is wrapped up in one of his long-term research projects. His upper limbs are of average length and just like the rest of his body, they too possess lean, well defined musculature. Due to his medium-heavy set bone structure, his wrists are slightly larger than normal and his hands are also larger and more muscular than average too due to the near constant use in his various physical exertions. In contrast, however, his fingers are longer than average and have a rather skeletal look to them.
He has a narrow waist and hips, again due to the veritable lack of body fat, especially the abdominal type. Below, he has lower limbs which are longer than average and like the rest of him, his lower limbs also have not more than an ounce of fat anywhere. As a result, like everywhere else on him, his lower limb musculature is also clearly visible and well defined, but also due to the effect of his physical exertions and specific training as well. Like his wrists, due to his medium heavy bone structure, his ankles are also slightly bigger than average as are his feet. However, like his fingers, his toes are also quite spindly in appearance. The rest of him is similarly well endowed due to the many genetic gifts he has inherited from both sides of his family.
---------------------
Attire:
Faustein prefers to keep his attire preferences as simple and practical as possible, although he does sometimes give in to flights of fancy to indulge his flair for the dramatic. So, at home by himself, he usually just wears a muscle tee of some shade of color along with PJs of some color (never pink though because he hates that color). At home, he usually doesn’t bother with footwear, but if pressed to wear some, he would go for simple geta shoes. If at home, but entertaining guests, then of course, he would wear a semi-formal long sleeved Western style shirt with a traditional Japanese ballooning hakama (edited to able to equip a tactical utility belt) with the usual male undergarments along with the same geta shoes for footwear.
When out and about, but not at work, he usually prefers to don a simple semi-formal t-shirt and tactical utility belt equipped cargo shorts of some color along with the usual male undergarments (none of them being pink). For footwear in this situation, he prefers to use standard long tabi boots of some color (except pink). When out and about at work, either at his profession as a physician-scientist or just taking on client requests, over the usual male undergarments, he wears his formal work outfit, that being a high collar, below knee length doctor’s white coat with long sleeved formal white shirt of some color and a crimson red colored necktie. Below that, he wears a tactical utility belt equipped, dark colored formal pants and for footwear, he wears formal patent leather, black or brown western style shoes.
For any other situation, he dresses as the occasion or environment demands of him (e.g. swim trunks at a swimming pool, weather appropriate clothing in accordance to the seasons, a 3- piece tuxedo and formal black shoes for really formal events, etc.). While traveling, he can usually be seen in his work outfit and maybe with a thick white trench coat over it and a white fedora with a dark blue silk band around the top on his head over that.
--------------
Extra:
- His eyes have prominent dark circles beneath them because of the marked degree of sleep deprivation he suffers from due to the stress and demands of his practice as well as the effort he puts in to accomplish his never- ending research goals.
- His lips have a noticeable dark discoloration because his body is always somewhat oxygen deprived not only because of a certain inherent genetic defect, but also due to constant exposure to the various chemical substances which he tests on himself as part of his research.
- The most distinctive features of his neck and torso are the thick rope like tattoo which is seen around his neck and the large patch of mismatched skin bounded by two healed suture lines which lies diagonally across his torso, from top of his left shoulder to the bottom of his right hip.
- Unfortunately, like his neck and torso, the rest of him is also marred by innumerable healed scars, suture lines, and various other types of blemishes and imperfections which he has acquired over the long course of his ongoing research.

FaceClaim: DR. STONE • Senkū Ishigami • Faustein Kuroyakushi (played by KuroFaust66)
Personal History:
Faustein’s story begins with that of his parents, his father being a man named “Siegfried Faustein” and his mother being a woman named “Izanami Kuroyakushi”. They had met during a medical conference in the U.S. and so became entangled with each other. Initially, they hated each other’s guts, but eventually they did warm up to each other. Their respective families noticed this, and after a thorough cross examination of each other, decided to unite them in a sort of political marriage which was intended to be a stepping stone toward a future where the two sides would be allied with each other and be sharing their respective stores of knowledge, resources, and so on with each other for the purposes of advancing their fame, wealth, and influence in society. Then, in due course, they brought Faustein into the world and since he was the only child of these two heirs to the sides, the elders agreed to name him the heir to the future leadership position of the alliance as well as of the two respective sides.
His childhood started off being fairly normal, and thanks to his excellent genetic heritage, he showed a great deal of promise right from childhood, especially in his aptitude for science and mathematics and also in his his high IQ, which was clocked at 180 points. So, his parents decided to bring him onto the fast track to prepare him for capitalizing on that aptitude for science and mathematics, mainly by trying to enter him in rigorous private tutoring sessions dealing with the beginner level knowledge in the sciences and mathematics. However, much to their surprise, he stubbornly resisted their efforts to fit him into their envisioned mold since he wanted to enjoy his childhood like other regular kids. Realizing that they wouldn’t be able to convince him to reconsider, his parents decided to let him do as he pleased instead for they were confident in the fact that, sooner or later, he would learn about the dark side to the world around him, and would come back to them so that they could enact their original plan for him.
He did enjoy doing the things that other kids normally did for quite a while, and whenever they had time and he had a considerable amount of vacation time, his parents took him on camping trips in various locales in the U.S, usually during the summer. They did this not only to be able to spend time bonding as a family, but also for the purposes of teaching him basic outdoor survival skills so that he wouldn’t be caught flatfooted and without recourse should he ever come to need them at any point in the future. In this manner, time marched on for them until finally he came to high school and entered his teenage years. It was during these years that he became acquainted with the darker side of those whom he had considered his friends up until then. There had been a series of events during his sophomore year of high school which led to him to figuring out that the people he had considered to be his friends till then had been just exploiting his talents for their own benefit and never did really consider him their friend, but rather were just putting up the façade of friendship to hide their ulterior motives.
Needless to say, he was quite broken up about this, but instead of taking revenge or anything edgy like that, he simply cut them off unceremoniously without giving them any preamble or warning. Not only did he cut them off, but he also vowed to himself that he would never bother with anything cheesy like emotions, friends, or even a social life ever again. Instead, he threw himself almost entirely into his studies from then on and to this end, he accepted his parents’ proposition of fast tracking him into the science and mathematics realms of knowledge through private tutoring. That said, he did have his craving for watching anime and reading a variety of manga, so he tried to stay in touch with them by watching as many anime and reading as many manga as possible whenever he was in need of a break from his studies. Furthermore, he also did indulge his interest in strategy and war games, mainly through playing offline solo player versions of games like Age of Empires and the Civilization series. This helped him two ways: the first helped him by offering pure relaxation and the second was useful since it let him pick up basic strategic and tactical skills. Thus, his high school years came to an end and he finally graduated with honors due to all the effort he had placed into completing his studies.
During this time, something else was born inside him too, that is, the obsession with the quest for knowledge which would remain with him lifelong. This obsession only grew stronger once he had gotten admission to Harvard U for the usual 4-year liberal arts undergrad college education. His entry into his college life went off well enough and he started to distinguish himself right from freshman year though since his focus was mainly on studies and he made a point of avoiding having a social life, his freshman year was fairly uneventful besides the excitement he got from being involved in basic science research as part of his biology major curriculum. Then, during his summer vacation time, as per usual, he spent time with his parents going on camping trips where he had the chance to put his outdoor survival skills to the test. To this list, he also added basic knowledge of MMA skills which he started learning from his mother who was quite proficient in it from having been born to parents who ran a mixed martial arts dojo back in Tokyo, Japan.
After this came his sophomore year, during which he formally declared his major as biology and took up a minor in Spanish since his parents felt it would be useful for later entry into medical school and future practice as a physician-scientist. Along with these, since there was a high-level humanities program at Harvard, he was able to make a bit more progress in his knowledge and skills in general linguistics and other humanities disciplines too which he had started taking in his freshman year like most of his peers. Thankfully, due to his ability to manage his time effectively, he was not only able to complete his day to day scholastic assignments and tests, but also continued his involvement in basic science research under the guidance of his professors. This fed his obsession with the quest for knowledge even more which eventually caused him to try delving into some rather obscure kinds of experiments, albeit still fully legal. And so, his sophomore year also went by with him luckily still being able to indulge his obsession with offline solo player war and strategy PC games occasionally whenever he was not busy with his research projects or his regular coursework.
As always, during the summer, when he returned home, he was able to spend time with his parents going on camping trips when feasible, or working on learning his mother tongues some more, or otherwise progressing ever farther in his practice of MMA, although it was still fairly basic because he couldn’t spend as much time on it as he used to before due to his now increased academic responsibilities. Then, came his junior and senior years where, as per the usual trend, he started prepping for even higher studies and as a result, he ended up putting his hobbies and other extracurricular activities on the back burner with the intention of returning to indulging them when he had a bit more time on his hands. As a result of focusing more on his studies and also on the basic science research he was involved in, he was able to get a high GPA and eventually graduated again with honors. However, for the time being, he figured he would take it easy for a bit while trying to figure out what he wanted to do next in his academic career.
Still, he didn’t completely relax and to ensure he wouldn’t lose sight of his ultimate goal of quest for knowledge and also in an attempt to narrow down his preferences for possible future careers in the healthcare sector, he took some time to enlist in a shadowing program over the course of the next year or so after which, he resumed the application process. His interest in anime and manga had sparked a general interest in Japanese culture as a whole by this time and so, he applied to the medical science program, specifically an M.D./Ph.D. type at Tokyo U. since he figured it would let him experience immersion in Japanese culture while also letting him pursue his higher studies into the medical field. Thanks to his excellent track record throughout his academic career till that point and also due to the extracurricular activities he had done to prepare for this phase, he was able to gain admission to this prestigious institution. Thus, his college years came to a close and he began the move toward the next phase in his education.
After working with his parents to get all the requisite paperwork done, he set off for Tokyo, Japan. Once he arrived, he was taken in by his mother’s parents and the rest of their clan and so, didn’t have to worry about lodging or any other basic necessities. As a result, he could focus his efforts on getting ready for his entry into the Tokyo U. student body. In due course, his medical school life at Tokyo U. began and like before, eventually, he was able to make a name for himself due to his academic prowess. Unlike before though, the time he had available to spend on his non-academic activities declined still further, albeit not completely. So, he was still able to find some little time now and then to indulge his hobbies or work on his supplementary skills and talents. Time went on in that fashion from his first year to his last and finally, he was able to graduate as one of the top students yet again and had even co-authored a couple of research papers with some of the more willing and accommodating of his professors. After graduation, he was able to link up with one of the hospitals in the Shibuya ward of Tokyo and formally began his professional life at the age of 27 years. Along with this, he also began indulging his fascination with more and more obscure, exotic kinds of research. Unfortunately, however, he couldn’t actually cross over into the truly exotic research which was the dominion of “mad science” due to how the law was structured and also because of ethical impediments. So, he was forced to begrudgingly content himself with skirting or toeing that line every time, although he did dream every night of the day when he would be able to work on such ventures without any of these aforementioned annoying hindrances.
Things were relatively calm and peaceful for the first year or so of his professional life, but then, in the second year of his career, there came those mysterious incidents during that one particular Golden Week when people claimed to have borne witness to strange sightings as well as strange inexplicable events in and around central Shibuya. Naturally, his innately insatiable curiosity wouldn’t let him rest peacefully. So, he tried to investigate these rumors and the incidents pertaining to them to the best of his ability, but alas…it was to no avail. He didn’t find anything of much significance, so his interest in said events faded away after a while. Things once again returned to normal for him, that is to say, going to work in the hospital he was affiliated with now and then returning home late in the evening, and when there was any bit of free time, spending it on indulging his hobbies and working on his nonacademic skills and his personal research projects as far as said downtime would allow of him. However, something strange was waiting in the wings, ready to assail him once more. That said, this series of events started in a fairly innocuous manner, namely with him having obtained a simple little V-Pet device.
It had actually come as a surprise to him from a cereal box he had bought a few days earlier. One certain morning, he had been getting ready to have his usual cereal breakfast when the device literally dropped from the box and fell into his bowl of hot milk and half-soggy cereal, causing the milk and cereal to splash onto his dining table, thus making a major mess. As he wasn’t expecting this to happen, he was understandably alarmed, but thankfully, he was the type to quickly regain his composure, so that’s what he did…after which he proceeded to quickly take the V-Pet device out of the bowl and clean it up as far as possible. Hoping, but not expecting it to be intact after that fiasco, he locked it away for the time being and then went about the rest of his day. After coming home, however, he tried out his new V-Pet device out of curiosity and so, added another activity to his daily routine henceforth. However, that's all it was, a relaxing activity which he could indulge in when he had a little downtime from his job and wasn't preoccupied with any of his research projects either. Little did he know, though, that this small, quaint, innocuous looking device would soon change his life forever.

Partner Name: Taser
Gender: N/A
Alignment: Team Mad Science
Skills/Talents:
- Battlefield Analysis
- Unshakeable Composure (Almost)
Inventory: Mini Battery Pack
Personality:
Like most other true Machine Digimon, this Kokuwamon is also characterized by an uncanny ability to maintain its composure in all but the most trying of circumstances...possibly due to the lack of an emotion protocol being programmed into it. However, unlike all other Machine Digimon, this one has one little chink in this seemingly unassailable armor. This chink involves it being overcome by what would very likely be excitement when in the presence of sophisticated technology. The degree of excitement displayed is always directly proportional to the level of aforementioned sophistication of the technology in question. Finally, like all other Kokuwamon, this one is also quite docile and thus, it prefers tranquility and pacifism over aggression in its interactions with others and in general as well. It also has a habit of acting and speaking like a stereotypical robot, regardless of whether its operating alone or interacting with others.
Personal History:
Originally, this Kokuwamon was actually part of a Mekanorimon which had DNA digivolved from the combination of this Kokuwamon and its steadfast ally, ShadowToyAgumon. However, at some point in the past, it was apparently involved in a particularly grueling battle against some rather ruthless enemies which were after the fused Digi-Core of the Mekanorimon for some unknown reason. Fortunately, due to some internal strife that had developed among this enemy group, they began to disagree on how to deal with the Mekanorimon. As a result, the leader simply destroyed it instead, causing both of its components, this Kokuwamon and its DNA partner, ShadowToyAgumon, to be reformatted into a single Digi-Egg. This egg then appeared in a certain Primary Village in the Metal Empire Digimon's territory. After some time, this Kokuwamon hatched from this same Digi-Egg simultaneously with its DNA partner, ShadowToyAgumon. This Kokuwamon then spent the necessary time developing to its Rookie form, aka Kokuwamon, and then it set out to explore the world along with its DNA partner ShadowToyAgumon which had also evolved to its Rookie form. Eventually, it came across and somehow managed to save a certain human known as Faustein Kuroyakushi, at which point he became its Xros General because of his Digivice establishing a binding link with it, just as it did with its DNA partner, ShadowToyAgumon.
Primary Partner 1
Species: Kokuwamon
Appearance:
Attribute: Steel/Electric
Attribute applied to Xros: Steel OR Electric
Role in Xros form: Usually Head, but can vary depending on situational needs
Family/ies: Metal Empire
Type: Machine
Fighting Style:
Un-Xrosed
Since it prefers pacifism over aggression, it actually tends to avoid engaging the enemy/opponent if it should ever be caught alone. However, if pushed it will usually attempt to stick of evasive maneuvers while analyzing their battle style for any openings or weaknesses. After that, it will try to immobilize them with its electrical attacks or otherwise inflict as much pain as it possibly can via vise-like grips using its solid steel pincers in an effort to drive them away. Naturally, since it's a Machine type Digimon, it doesn't feel pain from enemy attacks. So, it is able to continue engaging the enemy in combat till the enemy either gives up, is destroyed, or destroys it.

Xrosed
When Xrosed, it usually acts as the brains controlling the form's actions and decisions due to its uncanny ability to maintain composure in just about any situation. In addition to this, if there is no other sensory element taking part in the Xros form, then it can also double as the sensory element. However, since it fully realizes that the others in the Xros form will almost always be physically more capable than itself, it delegates any and all physical exertion to them while focusing on guiding said physical exertion with its tactical analyses. If necessary, it will also channel its Electric element through the form to amplify the form's speed and physical strikes as well as to inflict immobilizing paralysis on any susceptible targets upon impact. Otherwise, it is able to boost the form's defenses by channeling its Steel element through it, depending on the form in question.
Abilities:
Support Subroutine Epsilon: Tacti-Helm (COMBAT PASSIVE)
Due to its inherently high-spec tactical analysis protocols stored in its head, Kokuwamon is able to constantly analyze all the elements of the battle and the battlefield to gain a strategic advantage against the target(s). This ability boosts the base damage of Kokuwamon's offensive abilities by +30%.
Combat Subroutine Alpha: Dis-Assembler: (COMBAT ACTIVE)
Kokuwamon attacks the target with its vise-like metal scissor claws in an attempt to dismantle its defenses. Upon successful impact, this ability causes minor Steel element damage to the target and inflicts a 50% debuff to the target's Defense for the next 2 posts. 2 post cool down.
Combat Subroutine Beta: Lightning Arrow (COMBAT ACTIVE)
Kokuwamon spends 1 post to gather a mass of Electric element energy between the taser like horns on its head and in the next post, it fires this energy at the target in the form of a miniature lightning bolt. Upon successful impact, this ability causes moderate Electric element damage to the target and immobilizes it for the next 1 post. 3 post cool down.
Combat Subroutine Gamma: Mjölnir Impact (COMBAT ACTIVE)
Kokuwamon spends 1 post to gather a mass of Electric element energy in its thick metal legs and in the next post, it somersaults through the air towards the target. Once within range, it attempts to land a electrified double axe kick upon the target's head. Upon successful impact, this ability causes major Electric and Steel elemental damage to the target and silences it for the next 1 post. 3 post cool down.

=========
Partner Name: Lego
Gender: N/A
Alignment: Team Mad Science
Skills/Talents:
- Technological Intuition
- Unshakeable Composure (Almost)
Inventory: Engineer's Kit
Personality:
Like most other true Puppet Digimon, this ShadowToyAgumon is also characterized by an uncanny ability to maintain its composure in all but the most trying of circumstances...possibly due to the lack of an emotion protocol being programmed into it. However, unlike all other Puppet Digimon, this one has one little chink in this seemingly unassailable armor. This chink involves it being overcome by what would very likely be excitement when in the presence of sophisticated technology. The degree of excitement displayed is always directly proportional to the level of aforementioned sophistication of the technology in question. In fact, it finds any technology it encounters, whether sophisticated or not, so fascinating that it almost always gives in to the urge to dismantle said piece to technology to analyze every component and therefore, has to be actively restrained by the rest of Team Mad Science. Finally, like all other ShadowToyAgumon, this one is also quite mean-spirited and thus, it seems to have a predilection for tormenting little kids, whether they be human or Digimon. It also has a habit of acting and speaking like a stereotypical robot, regardless of whether its operating alone or interacting with others.
Personal History:
Originally, this ShadowToyAgumon was actually part of a Mekanorimon which had DNA digivolved from the combination of this ShadowToyAgumon and its steadfast ally, Kokuwamon. However, at some point in the past, it was apparently involved in a particularly grueling battle against some rather ruthless enemies which were after the fused Digi-Core of the Mekanorimon for some unknown reason. Fortunately, due to some internal strife that had developed among this enemy group, they began to disagree on how to deal with the Mekanorimon. As a result, the leader simply destroyed it instead, causing both of its components, this ShadowToyAgumon and its DNA partner, Kokuwamon, to be reformatted into a single Digi-Egg. This egg then appeared in a certain Primary Village in the Metal Empire Digimon's territory. After some time, this ShadowToyAgumon hatched from this same Digi-Egg simultaneously with its DNA partner, Kokuwamon. This ShadowToyAgumon then spent the necessary time developing to its Rookie form, aka ShadowToyAgumon, and then it set out to explore the world along with its DNA partner, Kokuwamon, which had also evolved to its Rookie form. Eventually, it came across and somehow managed to save a certain human known as Faustein Kuroyakushi, at which point he became its Xros General because of his Digivice establishing a binding link with it, just as it did with its DNA partner, Kokuwamon.
Primary Partner 2
Species: ShadowToyAgumon
Appearance:
Attribute: Steel/Fire
Attribute applied to Xros: Steel OR Fire
Role in Xros form: Usually Center or Body, but can vary depending on the situational needs
Family/ies: Metal Empire
Type: Puppet
Fighting Style:
Un-Xrosed:
Unlike the Kokuwamon that is its twin partner, this ShadowToyAgumon has somewhat more of a predilection for getting involved in combat, especially if it is in its favor, whether it happens to be alone or with the rest of Team Mad Science. However, like many other Machine and Puppet type Digimon, it has that same relentless drive to try to overrun the target and will not stop in its quest to destroy its target even in the face of the enemy's submission or pleas for mercy. The only other situation where it would stop is the one in which its own destruction is brought about at the hands of said target or if its Xros General or its twin partner forcefully restrains it for whatever reason. Its usual strategy of choice when alone is therefore one that is popularly known as "Shock and Awe".
Xrosed:
Although its inclination for engaging in combat is stronger than that of its twin, this ShadowToyAgumon still is more coldly robotic than most of Team Mad Science. It also knows that the rest of Team Mad Science are more skilled than itself in terms of sheer fighting power and other qualities, except evasion which tends to be its forte due to its nature as a ToyAgumon. So, whenever part of an Xros, it handles the evasive maneuvers and lets the other components manage the rest of the form's functions. It also acts as a conduit or relay station between whichever component happens to be the Head and the rest of the Body whenever necessary. If ever the need arises, it can also channel either its Steel element into the form to boost its defenses or its Fire element to increase the form's...*fire*power.
Abilities:
Support Protocol Epsilon: Dismantled Chassis (COMBAT PASSIVE)
Due to its nature as a ToyAgumon which lets it disassemble its body components at will, ShadowToyAgumon is able to dismantle its body whenever necessary to evade a target's attacks and counterattacks. This ability boosts ShadowToyAgumon's base evasion rate by +30%.
Combat Subroutine Alpha: Machine Assault (COMBAT ACTIVE)
ShadowToyAgumon attacks the target twice, inflicting hard blows upon it with its solid metal block shaped limbs. Upon successful impact, this ability deals minor Steel element damage to the target and inflicts a 50% debuff to the target's Attack for the next 2 posts. 2 post cool down.
Combat Subroutine Beta: Plastic Blaze (COMBAT ACTIVE)
ShadowToyAgumon spends 1 post to gather Fire element energy in its mouth and then in the next post, it fires this energy at the target in the form of a miniature plastic missile shaped like a flame. Upon successful impact, this missile explodes causing small flames to erupt on the struck area. These flames do 25% of this ability's base damage to the target for the next 2 posts, resulting in moderate Fire damage overall. 3 post cool down
Combat Subroutine Gamma: Block Rockets (COMBAT ACTIVE)
ShadowToyAgumon spends 1 post to gather a mass of Fire element energy in its solid metal block shaped limbs and then in the next post, it uses this energy along with its natural ability to disassemble its body at will to fire its upper limbs like a pair of rockets at the target. Upon successful impact, this ability deals major Steel and Fire damage as well as silences them for the next 1 post. 3 post cool down.
