Jomei Jodai
Alias: JJ, Jojo
Age: 9
Gender: Male
Height: 4’2” (127cm)
Weight: 60lbs (27.25kg)
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Birth Date: March 8th
Birth Place: Shibuya, Japan
Skills/Talents:
- Hiding: Whether it be finding a decent spot to hide or just making himself low-profile in a public place, Jomei has a good understanding of how not to let himself be found. This can also extend to helping other people hide if needed.
- Decent Cook: Jomei has a decent amount of experience cooking for himself - and occasionally others. Just don’t be expecting him to be making anything complicated.
Backpack Contents
- Multitool: A handy multitool that’s pretty good for everyday outdoor activities. He might be too young to have one of these, but he bought it with his own money. He tries to keep it a secret that he has it, even though it lacks anything that could seriously be used as a weapon (the seller wouldn't give a kid something that could be used as one - that would be irresponsible).
- Purple Lighter: A small purple lighter great for starting fires and (barely) illuminating the area around him. He’s definitely too young to have one of these. He really tries to keep it a secret.
- Collected Food: Jomei does like to collect any food he gets for later - or to take home. He does try to keep them properly stored if he can.
- Various things his partner put in there: His partner has a bad habit of collecting things he really shouldn’t, and this is the only place he has to store them. Jomei’s always in for a surprise when he looks to see what his partner put in his bag or pockets - very rarely will such things be useful for any sudden situations. Unless that situation is returning them to their (likely irate) owners.
Digivice: 01, Lavender
Personality
- Anxious: Perhaps the first thing you would notice about Jomei is he’s a nervous child: always trying to keep an eye on everything, doing his best to make sure he stays out of danger. This often leads to him looking skittish, and people might find him staring at them, but he’s just trying to watch out for himself. And his friends. He’s particularly anxious about people making fun of him for his hair.
- Helpful: Jomei doesn’t like to see others having a hard time, and if he sees someone struggling, you’d be hard-pressed to stop him from trying to help out - whether the other person wants his help or not. If questioned as to why he’s helping, he’s very blunt about it.
- Dorky: Jomei normally isn’t a very talkative child, but if the topic manages to reach something he’s interested in (food, games, stars, trains), he could talk for hours on it - likely because someone had to tell him to stop or made it very clear they aren’t interested.
- Seeking Approval: Something he desperately wants is for people to like him. Positive reinforcement (even just verbal) is a very easy way to gain his affection, and he’s afraid of losing it by doing something wrong. It unfortunately serves as an easy way to manipulate him if someone can catch on.
- Lonely: If the above points don’t make it obvious, Jomei very badly wants friends. It does have the unfortunate effect of making him very clingy towards people that do treat him nicely, but he genuinely means well.

Notably short for his age and a scrawny build, Jomei is the definition of unthreatening. His light-purple hair is fairly long and unkempt, and he usually keeps it hidden underneath a hat and a hood as best he can, though there’s no hiding his bright blue eyes. His clothing tends to be casual in style, and are basic in design; he prefers to always have some kind of hat and hooded jacket on, no matter the weather.
Inside the digital world, his clothing will always start the same: a pastel blue jacket over a blue-and-yellow long-sleeved shirt, complemented by dull grey shorts. Blue sneakers with red laces cover his feet, along with short yellow socks. He gets a solid black cap to cover his head, and a small black choker around his neck.

Personal History
Wouldn’t you be suspicious if, after two brown-haired brown-eyed children, your third one suddenly had blue eyes and light-purple hair? Jomei’s family certainly was, and it was very quickly discovered that he was born out of an affair. Needless to say, this very quickly led to his parents divorcing, his siblings staying with his father while he stayed with his mother, who was quick to marry Jomei’s real father. Since then, he’d have no more contact with his half-family.
Unfortunately, his mother was less than pleased with this new arrangement - and she solely blamed Jomei for this. She didn’t go out of her way to hurt him, but she didn’t do too much beyond meeting his needs. Jomei did his best to make his mother happy and get her attention, but it rarely worked, and it was even harder to get the attention of a father that was often out late. And while he did do fairly well in school, it didn’t help that he often attracted unkind attention due to his strange hair color - not at all helped by how easy it was to manipulate him.
Perhaps the only benefit of this situation was that he did have a decent degree of independence; he learned a bit about how to take care of himself, and was able to earn a bit of money from helping out around his neighborhood. It was also how he was able to acquire a few odd things for himself, because who was going to stop him?
Shady
Digimon Name: Shady
Default Form: Shademon
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Skills/Talents:
- Seekin: Shady’s observational skills are top-notch; he’s always keeping an eye out for dangerous places/people, good hiding places, escape routes, and things that could just get in his way. And for potential marks.
- Sneakin: Stealth is one of Shady’s strongest expertise, knowing how to keep himself from being spotted or heard by others, as well as making his way in and out of places others would prefer he wasn’t.
- Stealin: Whether it’s out in the open, inside a contain, or hidden away in someone’s pocket or bag, Shady is very good at getting his appendages on whatever he wants to take for himself - and making sure whoever it belongs to doesn’t find out. He's similarly capable of giving people stuff without them noticing.
- (E)Scapin: An vital part of any thief’s approach is to have at least one exit strategy - and the abilities to go through with them. Shady is always keeping an eye out for how to get away, and knows it’s often better to just get away from a bad situation than to stick around and deal with the consequences.
- Swimmin: He’s no fish, but he could easily be mistaken for one; all that time swimming through shadows translates well for swimming through actual bodies of water. He can’t exactly breathe underwater like one, but he can hold his breath for quite a while.
Inventory: Unfortunately, the nature of his abilities means he isn’t capable of carrying much around with him comfortably. Fortunately, he has a human who can do that for him.
Personality
- Free Spirit: Shady does not like being constrained by others; if there’s something he wants to do, you’ll be hard-pressed to stop him from doing it. He doesn’t care much if others object to what he wants to do unless they have very good reasons for such (or if he trusts them a lot). However, even he has his limits; he won’t do stuff that will obviously harm him or others he cares about, and he knows well enough to abandon a plan if it turns sour.
- Blunt: If Shady has something to say, he’s going to make it as clear as possible. He has no desire to dance around an issue, and he doesn’t have much tolerance for people doing such. That’s not to say he doesn’t know when it’s best to not say anything, just that when he does, he lacks any kind of subtlety.
- Consummate Thief: A rather unfortunate aspect about Shady is he really likes to steal things. It’s not the point of a compulsion, but if he finds something that he really likes or is very expensive, whether it’s out in the open or in someone’s possession, he’s going to try and take it as stealthily as he can. He does have enough sense to realize he shouldn’t seriously steal from people he wants to like him back, or to return the item if it’s very important to someone/useless to him.
- Lonely: His life prior to becoming a partner wasn’t the most sociable one. While he would like to pretend he’s totally fine with being a lone wolf, he really doesn’t like to be alone for so long. Finding someone that’ll stay with him and want him around for more than just what he could do is something he’s unfamiliar with, but will latch on to very quickly - and he will go out of his way to help people who he’s gotten close to.
Personal History
For as long as he could remember, Shady has been on his own; he left the Village of Beginnings after reaching his rookie stage, and very quickly found the outside was not as soft and friendly as the place he grew up in. He survived by using his abilities to stay hidden when necessary, and to take what he needed to survive. He never really had any direction in his life other than keeping himself alive and fulfilling his whims - until one day, he felt an odd sensation, that he had to find someone important to him, despite never knowing anyone like that in his life.

[Passive] Shadow Slider: This form is capable of sliding along shadows for a boost of speed. So long as it is standing on a shadow, its movement speed is increased by 50%, and it doesn’t need to hop in order to move. However, should a shadow that’s being used to slide on suddenly disappears, it’s going to result in a faceplant.
Blacker Bubbles: Spits out darker, cloudier bubbles that temporarily darken the vision of whoever they hit for 1 post. Otherwise a slightly-less-weak distraction.

Attribute: Virus

Type: Shadow
Fighting Style:
Considering this form is weaker than what he’s used to, his main strategy is to not get in a fight in the first place; escape is always the first thing on his mind, and he’ll use any means at his disposal to achieve this.

Abilities:
[Noncombat Passive] Shadow Manipulation: This form is capable of manipulating the shadows of anything he can get into physical contact with. This can include moving them around, altering their shape, altering their size to up to twice their original length, and even pulling them from the surface. This has no actual negative effects on the shadows’ original owners, and he can’t disconnect them from their source. Any alterations he makes to a shadow go away once he loses contact with them.
[Noncombat Passive] Amorphous Form: This form is easily capable of manipulating its own shape and the location of its body parts. It takes some time to do so, so it’s not effective for dodging attacks, but it does make it very easy to fit into hard-to-reach places. Maintaining this does require a degree of concentration - if he loses that, he’ll revert to his original form.
[Noncombat Passive] Darkvision: This form is capable of seeing in zero-light conditions, though only in black-and-white.
[Passive] Shadow Swimmer: This form is capable of moving through shadows as if they were bodies of water; the darker the shadow, the deeper he can go, and he’s capable of defying gravity by “swimming” through them. He can even completely immerse himself inside the shadows for up to 2 posts in a row, making it difficult to spot him; however, this also prevents him from using any offensive abilities, and he can be spotted as a dark patch in the shadow. Should a shadow move away from where he is or disappear entirely, he will be forcibly ejected, and he can still be harmed even if fully immersed.
Wicked Eye: Fires a beam of energy from his eyes. It’s advised that you avoid these if you don’t want to be harmed.
[Defensive] Shady Retreat: By ejecting a bit of darkness from his body, Shady can gain a quick burst of speed best fit for evading attacks or just to get away from someone he doesn’t want to be near - or to get close to something he wants. 3-turn cooldown.
[Defensive] Penumbral Decoy: Creates a clone of himself that follows a set of instructions upon creation. This clone can use any ability (except this one) this form possesses, but none of its attacks can actually harm anyone; similarly, the clone’s body is completely intangible. Lasts for a maximum of 3 posts. 4 post cooldown (starting when the clone disappears).

Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Unidentified
Type: Shadow
Fighting Style:
Shady follows a very simple philosophy when it comes to fighting: “The best fight is the one you never have to fight.” His preferred tactic is to never get into a fight in the first place, and getting out of the fight as soon as possible if he does. If a fight is necessary, he’d prefer to take down his opponent before they’re even aware of him. Failing that, he’ll whittle his opponent down until they’re too worn down to continue or just give up and leave him alone/let him get what he wants.

Dusk Strike: Quickly molds a part of his body into a sharp weapon, which is then used to do what sharp weapons are used for.
Soul Spawn: Summons a pair of small creatures that look like Eyesmon Scatter Mode without a mouth, both possessing the strength and durability of an in-training digimon. Shady is aware of anything they see or hear as if he’d seen or heard it himself, and they’re capable of utilizing his “Shadow Swimmer” passive ability and his “Darkvision” noncombat passive. There’s no set duration for how long they can last, though there’s a 5-post cooldown on resummoning them after they’ve been destroyed.
