Personality: There isn’t that much to tell about Shinta-san, really. Or at least, that’s what he would tell you. While he’s certainly not shy, he’s a bit of a recluse, and doesn’t often interact with others. But that’s not to say that he’s not good around people. Talking with Shinta-san makes you seem like the most special person in the world. Every problem of yours seems to be important to him. Every joke of yours seems like the funniest one he’s heard all day. And every story you tell seems like the most interesting one he’s ever heard.
Shinta-san’s a people pleaser, and he’s good at making people feel comfortable around him, despite his large stature. And even if they aren’t, it’s perfectly fine with him. Shinta-san has an extraordinary amount of patience, and nothing ever seems to make him mad. He always has a sad, yet gentle smile on him as he goes about his day, and every rude comment or inconvenience seems like water off of a duck’s back.
Shinta-san doesn’t value much in the way of material things, but he’s relatively well off. He makes a living writing children’s books, ones that he attempts to provide valuable life lessons for future generations. He’s not getting any younger, and while he doesn’t have any major ambitions, he wants the younger generations to be comfortable and mentally sound in the ever-evolving eras. Sadly, he can’t quite keep up with the newer day-to-day technology that seems to keep coming out. Flip-phones are still trendy, right?
Despite living in a place like Shibuya, Shinta-san is very much a hermit and prefers to keep to himself. He enjoys a morning cup of coffee, taking a look at the paper, and alternating between meditating and writing to pass his day. Afterwards, he’ll go onto his computer and write on his self-help blog where he anonymously answers people’s questions and offer insight into their issues.
Solving people’s problem’s is never his goal, however. Shinta-san strongly believes that people have to overcome their own issues, and while things seem overwhelming at first, all it will take is a shift in perspective. There’s always one thing that troubled people seem to lack, whether it’s confidence, bravery, or even empathy. But nothing brings Shinta-san greater joy than seeing someone overcome their problems by their own merit.
Appearance: One of the most obvious and noticeable things about Shintarou is his... smile. He always seems to have a small smile as he’s discovered the key to being happy. He has narrow eyes and incredibly poor vision, so he always has his bifocal glasses on. His hair’s getting a little thinner and there are more strands of gray than he would prefer, but he tries to wear his age gracefully. He’s almost always dressed in khaki pants and a button-up dress shirt. On the weekend he’ll occasionally put on a hawaiian shirt.

Personal History: But Shinta-san wasn’t always the way he was. In fact, he’s done a great deal of growing up over the years, to the point where his past self is unrecognizable to anyone but himself. For while Shintarou Tachibana has always been in Tokyo, the younger Shintarou was a rather cruel and petty young adult.
You could make a million excuses. He had an affluent upbringing and a superiority complex to accommodate it. His parents never gave him the attention he thought he deserved so he sought trouble in order to get it from everyone else. Or maybe his wealthy status and parent’s expectations led him to believe that he was better than all of his peers. Pick any number of these reasons, and flush them down the toilet, because all that mattered was that the younger Shintarou was a cruel, twisted person who victimized those worse off than he was.
And one girl in particular. Her name was Sachiko. He didn’t know why he started picking on her. Maybe he liked her but was too scared to admit it to even himself? Either way, she wasn’t the brightest, or prettiest, or most confident girl out there, so she made an easy target for him. He would spread nasty false rumors about her, get people to harass her, and overall just make snide comments about her whenever she was just within earshot. She would never do anything about it, after all. Maybe that was why he kept picking on her. Maybe he wanted her to get mad and confront him.
But she never did. And one day, no one ever saw her again. And only then did the young, idiot Shintarou realize that he had taken things too far. But his wealthy parents made sure that he didn’t get in any trouble, so he didn’t even get punished for his actions. But it was enough to realize how ugly a person Shintarou was. And after that he went into a horrible depressive state.
He coasted by the rest of his school days, unwilling to get close to anyone. He went into college, but never graduated. This caused conflict with his parents, but he no longer cared about that, either. So he spent a good amount of time wandering aimlessly through his early adulthood, just taking job after bit job. He wasn’t immune to loneliness, however, so tried a couple of relationships, but they never went anywhere, and he never married.
Until on a whim, he picked up a self-help book he borrowed from a coworker. It was utterly pretentious and he didn’t learn a damned thing about it, but it gave him an idea. Maybe... he could try the same thing? He spent so much of his life in guilt and misery that he never tried to... make things better. There was no taking back what he did, but maybe, if there was someone out there he could prevent from making the same mistakes he did, he could help make the world a better place. Or at least make it so the next Shintarou in the world doesn’t be so cruel to the next Sachiko.
So he started writing, and much to his surprise, he learned to get quite successful. He writes under the pen name of Shinji Sumairu, and while he keeps enough to make a comfortable living, he mainly donates the royalties to various charities, mainly centered around bullying awareness.
Shinta-san leads a comfortable life, but he’s far from happy or content. And he doesn’t think he ever will be. But he’s learned to be okay with that. But still... perhaps there was one person he could try and change more directly, maybe he would be able to put his mind at ease. Be it adult, child, human, or... something else entirely.

Abilities:
Cyber Criminal [Non-Combat] - Algoricus can interface with just about any electronic and make the internet her bitch. Which is handy for her. She can’t speak normally, but if there’s a device with a speaker nearby there’s no escaping her wrath. No practical combat use.
Brute Knuckle - Algoricus balls up a bundle of tentacles and punches the enemy with an electrified fist. 0-post cooldown.
Stagger Whip - Algoricus wraps a group of tentacles and whips someone. If the target’s a Digimon her level or lower, they’re unable to attack for one post. 2-post cooldown.
That Tentacle Thing - Algoricus wraps her tentacles around someone her level or lower and restricts their movement for one post. 2-post cooldown.
Eye Laser - Laser beam. From her eye. Duh. Pierces defenses. 2-post cooldown. Duh.

Partner Name: This Algomon Horde doesn't have a collective title, but Algoricus the Supreme One not-so-affectionately addresses them as "DiE, wOrThLeSs ScUm!"
Gender: Algoricus couldn't care less, therefore their personal information is irrelevant.
Alignment: Hive-Mind that follows Algoricus the Supreme One's ideals, whatever they may be.
Personality: The youngest and most populous of Algoricus the Supreme One's Cybersimps, made from a seemingly countless Fresh-Form Algomon. They have a fanatic devotion to Algoricus the Supreme One, as they're the few that refer to her as the Supreme One. Despite their fanatical worship, Algoricus the Supreme One can't stand their disgusting presence, and when she has no need of them, she'll likely kill them on sight. But no matter how many seem to get killed, they seem to propagate their numbers to replace the ones that die.
Even so, they fully support their Supreme One with all of their bodies and souls, and even though she consistently abuses and rebukes their very existence, they are always hiding out of sight in the shadows, and are willing to jump in to their Supreme One's aide at the earliest opportunity, even if a few or even most of them get obliterated in the process.
While it's a wonder why they would even do so, by themselves they're not intelligent in the slightest, but can only function when in a large group. They communicate wirelessly through their little transceivers on their head, and can even hijack signals in the air to manipulate electronics to a degree, though they're still not intelligent to do anything without proper guidance.
Second Partner
Species: Algomon (Fresh) Swarm
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant Horde
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Ever-growing Horde - The size of the horde and their attack strength is relative to the horde's health remaining. However, the horde always seems to replenish a little bit when they're attacked, and they regain up to 5% of their health every turn.
[Active]
2. Pew-Pew-Pew! - The swarm fires a laser beam from their eye. Alone it doesn't do damage, but in a swarm it's about as strong as a Rookie-level attack.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
3. Call to Action! - The horde replenishes a moderate amount of health as they recruit new members from seemingly out of nowhere.
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
4. For the Glory of the Supreme One! - The entire horde attach themselves to a single target. Then they all explode. And while their sacrifice might seem to be pretty extreme, Algoricus the Supreme One isn't too concerned. More worthless scum will start to follow her later. But for the rest of the thread, the horde is effectively removed from the thread.
Cooldown: Once per Thread
Partner Name: Minions (Algomon Swarm)
Gender: Various
Alignment: Algoricus the Supreme One
Personality: A smaller in number, but more efficient team than the Fresh-form Algomon horde, this group is made entirely up of In-Training form Algomon. And unlike their weaker counterparts, Algoricus the Supreme One actually acknowledges this group's existence. She acknowledges them as lowly servants to be used and abused, but it's acknowledgement all the same, and the possibly masochistic swarm wouldn't have it any other way.
This swarm's main goal is to direct and guide the Fresh-form horde so that their Supreme One doesn't have to deal with them herself. They see to the minor tasks that their Supreme One doesn't see fit to do herself, or simply sees such actions as beneath her. And while Algoricus the Supreme One offers them no praise or reward, just the fact that they're aiding and supporting their beloved Supreme One is reward enough. At least, that's what they all themselves. Much like Algoricus, they can hack into various electronic equipment and manipulate to serve their purposes. And naturally, their purposes and Algoricus the Supreme One's purposes are on in the same.
Third Partner
Species: Algomon (In-Training) Swarm
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant Swarm
Abilities:
[Active]
1. Eye Laser Barrage - The Swarm fires off a barrage of eye lasers. They kind of sting on their own, and they kind of hurt when together.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
2. Target Capture - The Swarm... swarms an enemy, and wraps their bodies around them to prevent them from moving.
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 2 Posts
[Active]
3. Interference Wave - The Swarm lets out a signal that reduces the defenses of 1 enemy by 50%.
Duration: 2 Posts
Cooldown: 2 Posts
[Active]
4. Protect Our Supreme One! - The Swarm gathers the will to tank one hit without even flinching. But only if it's an attack against Algoricus the Supreme One. If the ability ignores shields and defenses and whatnot, the Swarm will take the full damage instead of Algoricus the Supreme One.

1. The Supreme One's Natural Progression - Algoricus the Supreme One has a 10% increase to her attack, speed, and defense.

Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
3. Tentacle Strangulation - Lashes out with various cable-like tentacles, crushing them and immobilizing them for 1 post.
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
4. Data Drain - Algoricus the Supreme One absorbs the target's data, and heals half the damage this attack dealt. If the target was immobilized, this attack deals double damage.
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
5. Viral Infection - Infects the enemy with a virus that slows down the target's processes. For the next three posts, any Named Ability that they use will have its cooldown increased by 1 post.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
6. Shocker Claw - Algoricus the Supreme One grabs the enemy, then lets go. Also her hands were electrified, so... damage, yo.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
Xros Components: Algoricus the Supreme One & Algomon Swarm
Xros Level X2
Species: Devidramon
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldier, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Fearsome Demon - Algoricus the Supreme One is a fucking demonic dragon, and that shit's scary. Any Digimon the same level or lower fighting Algoricus the Supreme One while alone (regardless of whether they have a human partner or not) will have their attack reduced by 35%. This move will affect a Digimon unless they have an ability that makes them immune to fear effects, no matter how brave or stupid their personality section says they are.
[Active]
2. Devil's Breath - Unleashes a stream of green demonic flames that burn away one target in front of her. Deals damage, and the flames continue to burn them for the next 2 posts. These dark flames will burn no matter where they are, be it in water, space, or the like. These flames ignore any passive defensive buff, and nullify any passive defensive effects they have while they're still burning. If the target wishes, they can spend their entire turn to extinguish the flames.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
3. Death Claw - Slices and damages an enemy with a virus-infected claw. For the next three posts, any time they would heal, they instead take half the damage they would heal.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
4. Demonic Contract - Who said that Algoricus the Supreme One can't be generous? By channeling up a dark, demonic force, Algoricus the Supreme One is able significantly heal herself, but must heal one enemy, (or one Digimon her level or higher that has damaged her in the last 3 posts) an equal amount. It'd be a real shame if the enemy were under the effect of [Death Claw], wouldn't it?
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
5. pew-pew, Eye Lasers, pew-pew! - Hey, sometimes you have to stick with what's tried and true. Shoots laser beams from the eyes. Pierces defenses.
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
6. Abyssal Wingbeat - By flapping her dark wings, Algoricus the Supreme One unleashes an eerie, demonic wind on the foe. For the next 3 posts, the target is unable to use any active abilities to dodge, block, or prevent damage. Ironically, this move can still be shielded against.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 3 Posts

Xros Level X2
Species: Arkadimon (Adult)
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldier, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Down and Dirty - Algoricus the Supreme One is a little frail in this form, and takes 10% more damage from Digimon further than 25m away from her. However, she deals an additional 40% damage to any target within 10m of her.
[Active]
2. Wired In - Algoricus the Supreme One stabs into the enemy with her wired tail, and it sticks in there. For the next three posts, neither Algoricus the Supreme One or the target are able to be further than 10m apart from each other. Also, both targets take an extra 20% more damage from each other.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
3. Snatch Whip - Unleashes a thick whip that lashes into an enemy. Algoricus the Supreme One heals half the damage that she had dealt with this attack.
Cooldown: 2 Posts
[Active]
4. Brute Knuckle - A simple, direct punch to an enemy. Nothing fancy.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
5. Unstable Connection - Algoricus the Supreme One grabs the enemy, then very briefly and temporarily, reconfigures their data structure, causing unimaginable pain. If the target is under the effects of [Wired In], this move bypasses any defensive moves or passive abilities they may have.
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
6. Clobberknocker - Algoricus the Supreme One just hits the enemy a whole bunch of times. The damage increase from [Wired In] is doubled, if that's in play.
Cooldown: 1 Posts
Xros Components: Algoricus the Supreme One & Algomon Swarm
Xros Level X2
Species: Chrysalimon
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldier, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Armored Menace - Algoricus the Supreme One is a little slow in this form, 15% slower, to be precise. But her defenses are raised by 15% for every enemy that's against her, to a maximum of 45%
[Passive]
2. Anti-Mob Mentality - Algoricus the Supreme One hates getting ganged up on. Every Digimon that is against her raises her attack strength by 10%, to a maximum of 40%.
[Active]
3. Multi-Tendril Attack - Algoricus the Supreme One attacks up to three enemies with her tendrils... impaling them, or at least like, stabbing them or something. For any target that she chooses to spare, the tendrils protect her during her next post, increasing her defense by 25% for each tendril left un-murder-weaponed, so by only attacking 1 enemy, 2 tendrils would increase her defense by 50%.
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
4. Data Crusher - Algoricus the Supreme One unleashes a burst of violet energy, striking into up to three targets. Their attack strength is reduced by 50% for 3 Posts.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
5. Death Stinger - Algoricus the Supreme One stabs an enemy with her stinger. It hurts a lot. And they feel a great deal of pain. And then the stinger begins to glow an ominous red color. And right when the target begins to wonder what horrid effect is going to happen, the stinger retracts. This attack has no additional effect.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
6. Death Pulse - Algoricus the Supreme One unleashes a pulse of fierce energy befitting the title of "The Supreme One". Deals absurd damage to everyone within 30m, and Algoricus the Supreme One heals half the damage dealt.
Cooldown: 6 Posts

1. Capture Mirror - This Digimon blocks and absorbs 1 ranged attack.
Cooldown: 2 Posts
[Active]
2. Revenge Mirror - If on the previous turn Algoricus the Supreme One used [Capture Mirror] to absorb an attack, this move becomes an exact copy of the move that was blocked. Any effects that increased or decreased the moves damage apply to this effect as well.
Cooldown: X = The Cooldown of the Captured Move
[Active]
3. Hall of Mirrors - Algoricus the Supreme One creates an entire field surrounded by indestructible mirrors, 30m in diameter. While in this field, no Digimon's Shield Moves can be ignored, pierced, or otherwise circumvented. Defensive buffs, however, can still be ignored.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
4. Grim Reflection - Algoricus the Supreme One blocks one attack sent at him, then sends it right back at the attacker, but inverting it to suit his purposes. So a fire-based move could be converted into an ice or water-based move, for example. Basically, the reflected attack ignores any passive defenses and immunities the attacker might have to their own attack.
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
5. Mirror Beam - Algoricus the Supreme One reflects an intense beam of light to burn away at the enemy like the little ant that they are.
Cooldown: 1 Post
[Passive]
6. Shattered Mirror - If Algoricus the Supreme One's Reflection or Shield move is broken, ignored or the like and Algoricus the Supreme One takes damage, the mirror shatters and shards of glass tear into the attacker, dealing half the damage dealt to Algoricus the Supreme One. And underneath that shattered mirror? Another mirror, of course!

He’s almost always dressed in khaki pants and a button-up dress shirt. On the weekend he’ll occasionally put on a hawaiian shirt.

Or at least make it so the next Shintarou in the world doesn’t be so cruel to the next Sachiko.
So he started writing, and much to his surprise, he learned to get quite successful. He writes under the pen name of Shinji Sumairu, and while he keeps enough to make a comfortable living, he mainly donates the royalties to various charities, mainly centered around bullying awareness.
Shinta-san leads a comfortable life, but he’s far from happy or content. And he doesn’t think he ever will be. But he’s learned to be okay with that. But still... perhaps there was one person he could try and change more directly, maybe he would be able to put his mind at ease. Be it adult, child, human, or... something else entirely.

Abilities:
Cyber Criminal [Non-Combat] - Algoricus can interface with just about any electronic and make the internet her bitch. Which is handy for her. She can’t speak normally, but if there’s a device with a speaker nearby there’s no escaping her wrath. No practical combat use.
Brute Knuckle - Algoricus balls up a bundle of tentacles and punches the enemy with an electrified fist. 0-post cooldown.
Stagger Whip - Algoricus wraps a group of tentacles and whips someone. If the target’s a Digimon her level or lower, they’re unable to attack for one post. 2-post cooldown.
That Tentacle Thing - Algoricus wraps her tentacles around someone her level or lower and restricts their movement for one post. 2-post cooldown.
Eye Laser - Laser beam. From her eye. Duh. Pierces defenses. 2-post cooldown. Duh.

Partner Name: This Algomon Horde doesn't have a collective title, but Algoricus the Supreme One not-so-affectionately addresses them as "DiE, wOrThLeSs ScUm!"
Gender: Algoricus couldn't care less, therefore their personal information is irrelevant.
Alignment: Hive-Mind that follows Algoricus the Supreme One's ideals, whatever they may be.
Personality: The youngest and most populous of Algoricus the Supreme One's Cybersimps, made from a seemingly countless Fresh-Form Algomon. They have a fanatic devotion to Algoricus the Supreme One, as they're the few that refer to her as the Supreme One. Despite their fanatical worship, Algoricus the Supreme One can't stand their disgusting presence, and when she has no need of them, she'll likely kill them on sight. But no matter how many seem to get killed, they seem to propagate their numbers to replace the ones that die.
Even so, they fully support their Supreme One with all of their bodies and souls, and even though she consistently abuses and rebukes their very existence, they are always hiding out of sight in the shadows, and are willing to jump in to their Supreme One's aide at the earliest opportunity, even if a few or even most of them get obliterated in the process.
While it's a wonder why they would even do so, by themselves they're not intelligent in the slightest, but can only function when in a large group. They communicate wirelessly through their little transceivers on their head, and can even hijack signals in the air to manipulate electronics to a degree, though they're still not intelligent to do anything without proper guidance.
Second Partner
Species: Algomon (Fresh) Swarm
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant Horde
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Ever-growing Horde - The size of the horde and their attack strength is relative to the horde's health remaining. However, the horde always seems to replenish a little bit when they're attacked, and they regain up to 5% of their health every turn.
[Active]
2. Pew-Pew-Pew! - The swarm fires a laser beam from their eye. Alone it doesn't do damage, but in a swarm it's about as strong as a Rookie-level attack.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
3. Call to Action! - The horde replenishes a moderate amount of health as they recruit new members from seemingly out of nowhere.
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
4. For the Glory of the Supreme One! - The entire horde attach themselves to a single target. Then they all explode. And while their sacrifice might seem to be pretty extreme, Algoricus the Supreme One isn't too concerned. More worthless scum will start to follow her later. But for the rest of the thread, the horde is effectively removed from the thread.
Cooldown: Once per Thread
Partner Name: Minions (Algomon Swarm)
Gender: Various
Alignment: Algoricus the Supreme One
Personality: A smaller in number, but more efficient team than the Fresh-form Algomon horde, this group is made entirely up of In-Training form Algomon. And unlike their weaker counterparts, Algoricus the Supreme One actually acknowledges this group's existence. She acknowledges them as lowly servants to be used and abused, but it's acknowledgement all the same, and the possibly masochistic swarm wouldn't have it any other way.
This swarm's main goal is to direct and guide the Fresh-form horde so that their Supreme One doesn't have to deal with them herself. They see to the minor tasks that their Supreme One doesn't see fit to do herself, or simply sees such actions as beneath her. And while Algoricus the Supreme One offers them no praise or reward, just the fact that they're aiding and supporting their beloved Supreme One is reward enough. At least, that's what they all themselves. Much like Algoricus, they can hack into various electronic equipment and manipulate to serve their purposes. And naturally, their purposes and Algoricus the Supreme One's purposes are on in the same.
Third Partner

Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldiers, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant Swarm
Abilities:
[Active]
1. Eye Laser Barrage - The Swarm fires off a barrage of eye lasers. They kind of sting on their own, and they kind of hurt when together.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
2. Target Capture - The Swarm... swarms an enemy, and wraps their bodies around them to prevent them from moving.
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 2 Posts

3. Interference Wave - The Swarm lets out a signal that reduces the defenses of 1 enemy by 50%.
Duration: 2 Posts
Cooldown: 2 Posts
[Active]
4. Protect Our Supreme One! - The Swarm gathers the will to tank one hit without even flinching. But only if it's an attack against Algoricus the Supreme One. If the ability ignores shields and defenses and whatnot, the Swarm will take the full damage instead of Algoricus the Supreme One.

Duration: 1 Post

Xros Components: Algoricus the Supreme One & Algomon Swarm
Xros Level X2
Species: Devidramon
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldier, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Fearsome Demon - Algoricus the Supreme One is a fucking demonic dragon, and that shit's scary. Any Digimon the same level or lower fighting Algoricus the Supreme One while alone (regardless of whether they have a human partner or not) will have their attack reduced by 35%. This move will affect a Digimon unless they have an ability that makes them immune to fear effects, no matter how brave or stupid their personality section says they are.
[Active]
2. Devil's Breath - Unleashes a stream of green demonic flames that burn away one target in front of her. Deals damage, and the flames continue to burn them for the next 2 posts. These dark flames will burn no matter where they are, be it in water, space, or the like. These flames ignore any passive defensive buff, and nullify any passive defensive effects they have while they're still burning. If the target wishes, they can spend their entire turn to extinguish the flames.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
3. Death Claw - Slices and damages an enemy with a virus-infected claw. For the next three posts, any time they would heal, they instead take half the damage they would heal.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
4. Demonic Contract - Who said that Algoricus the Supreme One can't be generous? By channeling up a dark, demonic force, Algoricus the Supreme One is able significantly heal herself, but must heal one enemy, (or one Digimon her level or higher that has damaged her in the last 3 posts) an equal amount. It'd be a real shame if the enemy were under the effect of [Death Claw], wouldn't it?
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
5. pew-pew, Eye Lasers, pew-pew! - Hey, sometimes you have to stick with what's tried and true. Shoots laser beams from the eyes. Pierces defenses.
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
6. Abyssal Wingbeat - By flapping her dark wings, Algoricus the Supreme One unleashes an eerie, demonic wind on the foe. For the next 3 posts, the target is unable to use any active abilities to dodge, block, or prevent damage. Ironically, this move can still be shielded against.

Species: Arkadimon (Adult)
Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldier, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Down and Dirty - Algoricus the Supreme One is a little frail in this form, and takes 10% more damage from Digimon further than 25m away from her. However, she deals an additional 40% damage to any target within 10m of her.
[Active]
2. Wired In - Algoricus the Supreme One stabs into the enemy with her wired tail, and it sticks in there. For the next three posts, neither Algoricus the Supreme One or the target are able to be further than 10m apart from each other. Also, both targets take an extra 20% more damage from each other.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
3. Snatch Whip - Unleashes a thick whip that lashes into an enemy. Algoricus the Supreme One heals half the damage that she had dealt with this attack.
Cooldown: 2 Posts
[Active]
4. Brute Knuckle - A simple, direct punch to an enemy. Nothing fancy.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
5. Unstable Connection - Algoricus the Supreme One grabs the enemy, then very briefly and temporarily, reconfigures their data structure, causing unimaginable pain. If the target is under the effects of [Wired In], this move bypasses any defensive moves or passive abilities they may have.
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
6. Clobberknocker - Algoricus the Supreme One just hits the enemy a whole bunch of times. The damage increase from [Wired In] is doubled, if that's in play.

Appearance:
Attribute: Virus
Family/ies: Nightmare Soldier, Jungle Troopers
Type: Mutant
Abilities:
[Passive]
1. Armored Menace - Algoricus the Supreme One is a little slow in this form, 15% slower, to be precise. But her defenses are raised by 15% for every enemy that's against her, to a maximum of 45%
[Passive]
2. Anti-Mob Mentality - Algoricus the Supreme One hates getting ganged up on. Every Digimon that is against her raises her attack strength by 10%, to a maximum of 40%.
[Active]
3. Multi-Tendril Attack - Algoricus the Supreme One attacks up to three enemies with her tendrils... impaling them, or at least like, stabbing them or something. For any target that she chooses to spare, the tendrils protect her during her next post, increasing her defense by 25% for each tendril left un-murder-weaponed, so by only attacking 1 enemy, 2 tendrils would increase her defense by 50%.
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 3 Posts
[Active]
4. Data Crusher - Algoricus the Supreme One unleashes a burst of violet energy, striking into up to three targets. Their attack strength is reduced by 50% for 3 Posts.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
5. Death Stinger - Algoricus the Supreme One stabs an enemy with her stinger. It hurts a lot. And they feel a great deal of pain. And then the stinger begins to glow an ominous red color. And right when the target begins to wonder what horrid effect is going to happen, the stinger retracts. This attack has no additional effect.
Cooldown: 0 Posts
[Active]
6. Death Pulse - Algoricus the Supreme One unleashes a pulse of fierce energy befitting the title of "The Supreme One". Deals absurd damage to everyone within 30m, and Algoricus the Supreme One heals half the damage dealt.

1. Capture Mirror - This Digimon blocks and absorbs 1 ranged attack.
Cooldown: 2 Posts
[Active]
2. Revenge Mirror - If on the previous turn Algoricus the Supreme One used [Capture Mirror] to absorb an attack, this move becomes an exact copy of the move that was blocked. Any effects that increased or decreased the moves damage apply to this effect as well.
Cooldown: X = The Cooldown of the Captured Move
[Active]
3. Hall of Mirrors - Algoricus the Supreme One creates an entire field surrounded by indestructible mirrors, 30m in diameter. While in this field, no Digimon's Shield Moves can be ignored, pierced, or otherwise circumvented. Defensive buffs, however, can still be ignored.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 4 Posts
[Active]
4. Grim Reflection - Algoricus the Supreme One blocks one attack sent at him, then sends it right back at the attacker, but inverting it to suit his purposes. So a fire-based move could be converted into an ice or water-based move, for example. Basically, the reflected attack ignores any passive defenses and immunities the attacker might have to their own attack.
Cooldown: 5 Posts
[Active]
5. Mirror Beam - Algoricus the Supreme One reflects an intense beam of light to burn away at the enemy like the little ant that they are.
Cooldown: 1 Post
[Passive]
6. Shattered Mirror - If Algoricus the Supreme One's Reflection or Shield move is broken, ignored or the like and Algoricus the Supreme One takes damage, the mirror shatters and shards of glass tear into the attacker, dealing half the damage dealt to Algoricus the Supreme One. And underneath that shattered mirror? Another mirror, of course!
