Djehuti (AKA "D") the Dorumon

Default Form: Dorumon(Rookie)
Gender: nah
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral/Chaotic Good
Skills/Talents: great at learning/information gathering, well versed in survival skills, strangely lucky, great at starting conversations about odd things at inopportune times

Inventory: D carries a few sheaves of handmade paper and writing tools, A crude notebook with primitive maps and diagrams, A shiny rock from their childhood home as a memento, and a spyglass they recieved from a friendly tamer a long time ago. D is also in possession of a dillapidated old cottage in the Server Woods. The roof has holes in it, and there's a nasty draft in the winter, but it's still standing, and all the possesions of the previous owner are mostly intact, such as a crude bed of wood and fur, a small bookcase with martial arts handbooks and journals, and a worn combat dummy. Perhaps the cottage belonged to a Leomon a long time ago? D keeps affirming to themself that they'll repair that roof one day, but they always get distracted by something or other.

Personality: Endlessly curious, D has made it their personal mission to learn as much as possible about the Digital World and its denizens, which can cause them to come across as a bit weird. D tends to ask a lot of questions to sate their curiosity, often at inopportune times. Tends to keep others at a comfortable distance, but puts their full trust in those they allow into their inner circle(which is usually small, compared to most), and will gladly talk the ear off of those who appear to share their interests. Passionate about a variety of things, but tends to hyperfocus on specific areas depending on their current mood and temperament, which can come across as weird to those not familiar with them. Tends to avoid confrontation where possible, but doesn't hold back if actually provoked(a difficult thing to accomplish, most of the time). Suffers from mild and inconsistent oblivousness to social customs, through no fault or intention of their own. Has difficulty expressing emotions, making them seem dull or robotic to the untrained eye, or, in contrast, childish or rude, depending on the situation, but has emotions just the same as everybody else, despite problems parsing and expressing them. Appreciates the simple things in life most of all: good food, good company and good sleep. At their core, they have good intentions, despite their atypical mindset, and aspire to be a good person. However, their moral code is built from the ground up, owing to their background as a feral denizen of the Digital World. This often results in them criticising or poining out hypocrisy and contradiction(which can get them into trouble sometimes).

Personal History: Grew up in a highly-trafficked forest area. They were brought up by two things: the forest, and travelling Tamers. D, at heart, is a student, and their lectures took the form of nature's many lessons and the eavesdropped(and sometimes participated in) conversations of Tamers. As a result, D has a healthy appetite for knowledge, both great and small, both orthodox and strange, while also having been able to apply that knowledge and curiosity to survival in the forest they called home. This proved a fertile testing ground, and they developed a strong tactical/strategic mindset, learning by imitation and experimentation the arts of camping and trapping, practices that further encouraged an observant and thoughtful lifestyle.

All this culminated in D's discovery of an abandoned, run-down cabin in a calmer area of the deep woods, where they found old reading materials and possessions belonging to the previous occupant. Logs and manuals found within described a far greater and more complicated world than D had yet been exposed to, and granted answers to many of their previously burning questions, answers that hinted at greater questions and mysteries to investigate!

This discovery marks the beginning of their quest for knowledge in earnest, as the incomplete set of clues and information left behind by the shack's previous owner create the perfect storm of leads and questions to inspire D to boldly set out to learn it all! Merely the idea that places exist outside of the woods was a revelation for D, but the descriptions of faraway places found in the logs remaining in this dilapidated place solidified that revelation, creating the spark of what would become D's life's work, the quest for knowledge, and the pursuit of the joy of learning, as well as the pleasure of the company of others! D knows that it's a quest with no end, destined to reach its terminus before the goal is achieved, but, for D, this is part of the joy of it! They will never run out of things to learn, things to see, and they're determined to make the best of it!

In-Training
Species: Dorimon
Appearance:


Attribute: Free
Family/ies: Nature Spirits
Type: Lesser

Fighting Style: Careful, with an emphasis on carefully-timed rushdown attacks.



Aerial Monch - Performs a running jump and latches onto the enemy with a bite. Much like Facepunch, requires careful aiming. Unlike Facepunch, results in a grapple, and renders the attacker immobile and unable to attack while active. Deals light damage on hit, and unless the target takes action to remove the attacker, they will receive a small amount of damage for each subsequent post up until the third post after the attack, at which point the attacker gets tired and lets go, cooling down for 2 posts. Digimon at Champion level and above receive no damage from this attack, and are merely annoyed.

Rookie

Appearance:


Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Nature Spirits, Virus Busters, Dragon's Roar
Type: Beast/Animal

Fighting Style: Observant, conserving energy until weaknesses present themselves, then using overwhelming force.



Crunch - Uses powerful jaws to bite down on the opponent. Requires close quarters, easily punishable.

Metal Cannon - Fires an iron sphere from the mouth at the opponent. The sphere is about the size of a bowling ball. Travels about as fast as an average baseball pitch.

Sonic Roar - Loudly screams in an attempt to scare or intimidate the enemy. Doesn't deal damage on its own, but can negatively affect the hearing of the opponent if they're in close quarters. Target chooses between either immobilization or any chosen attack move being disabled for 1 post. At close quarters, has a bonus effect of deafening the enemy for 2 posts. This attack has a 2 post cooldown, as it strains the throat something fierce. The opponent also has the choice to stop battling as a result of intimidation, or to continue fighting.

Champion
Species: Dorugamon
Appearance:


Attribute: Data
Family/ies: Nature Spirits, Dragon's Roar
Type: Beast Dragon/Animal

Fighting Style: Use of intimidation followed by brute force, then avoidance if the battle doesn't immediately end



Mighty Crunch - A more powerful version of Crunch. Strong enough to mangle steel beams.

Mighty Cannon - A more powerful version of Metal Cannon. This version fires an iron ball the size of a yoga ball, at roughly the same speed.

Mighty Stomp - Performs a high jump using the attacker's wings as a boost, then crashes down on the opponent. Has the potential to push the enemy to the ground, but lacks accuracy and is easily dodged if the enemy is observant. Target is immobilized for 1 post as they recover from being knocked down. Has a cooldown of 3 posts and deals light damage.

Feint - Attacker telegraphs a large attack as a distraction, then exploits the opening created by the opponent's reaction to the false attack. Deals heavy damage if it connects, but has a 3 post cooldown, and each subsequent use is 20% less effective.

Bloody Roar - A stronger version of Sonic Roar. Inflicts fear on the opponent, cutting their attack or defense in half (target's choice) for two turns. Also offers the target the choice to stop battling, or to keep fighting.
