TAMER

STATISTICS ( NEUTRAL ) HP: 180 AP: 4 OFF: 16 DEF: 18 AGT: 16 SPC: --- SANITY DESENSITIZED TORMENTS ○ Lonesome Wanderer -  This individual has seeked the path of a lonesome wanderer, albeit a benevolent one. Beyond their deepest and closest loved ones, they find it difficult to associate others as anything more than a acquaintance. Deep down, they have a sliver inside of them that wishes they could afford the time to befriend others; but their belief in that attempting to make new friendships is either a meaningless endeavor or one that could put at risk the lives of said people cripples this desire. As such, the individual often keeps to themselves and feels that it is best for everyone that he for the most part "flies solo". (LEVEL 2) ○ Sorrowful Regret - This individual has seen it all. They are a part of history, having seen a world grow, be torn apart and rebuilt by his very eyes. As much as he has seen beauty, he has seen horrifying monstrosities committed on people who never in a million years deserved such cruelty. People who he once considered friends grew cold and distant, some going as far to now consider him their enemy. Fueled by the intense feelings that he could have done better... that he could have done something to prevent all this, the individual is haunted by their mistakes in life; not going a single day without thinking about them. Only their drive towards their own morals keep them from giving up on life. (LEVEL 3) PERSONALITY Very little accounts of the Red Mantle's activities exist for an accurate depiction of his general persona to be painted for public interpretation, but this is a deliberate act on the mysterious warrior's part — the less his enemies know about him or his whereabouts, the better. Concomitantly, this deprives others of the chance to explore his character long enough to make an educated decision for themselves. Though most of society views the Red Mantle as a cryptic figure, none can challenge the simple fact that he is, above all else, a man whose actions speak much louder than his words. He wastes no time cutting straight to the point, often in the most literal sense of the phrase, preferring to let his swords and his spirit do the talking. He has no patience for those who waste precious time with political deliberations. It is to this end that his motives are made clear: the Red Mantle fiercely opposes the corrupt influence of evil and has made it his life's purpose to actively seek out and destroy all those who would threaten the stability of the Digital World. Some may call him an extremist on the higher end of the moral scale because of this, and it's not entirely inaccurate to assume such a thing of him. But, in the end, someone has to take a stand. SKILLS FLAWS ● FIGURE OF LEGEND – The Red Mantle's existence is the stuff of tall tales and recorded myths alike; his mere presence alone can inspire boundless courage within his allies or strike pure terror into the hearts of his foes. ● SURVIVALIST – Several decades braving the Digital World's deadliest climes have turned the Red Mantle into an expert when it comes to outdoor survival. Now, home is where he wants it to be. ● BE LIKE WATER – Through ceaseless training in the martial arts, the Red Mantle's skill is so profound that his technique is comparable to raw instinct. At the peak of his form, he can easily outmatch a Digimon of Ultimate level or higher, provided he actually puts some effort into the fight beforehand. ● UNYIELDING WILL – Phlegmatic to the core, years of experience in the Digital World has hardened his resolve to such a degree where practically nothing fazes him. Even the threat of torture does nothing to elicit so much as a twitch. ● THROWING ADEPT – The unique curvature of the Red Mantle's signature twin swords allows them to be thrown like boomerangs, a skill which he has learned to hone with surgical precision the more he trains with them. ● LONESOME ROAD – Hated and feared by those who have succumbed to the manipulations of evil forces, the Red Mantle is condemned to wander the hero's path alone. Apart from the companionship provided by his Digimon partner, things such as friendship are luxuries he cannot truly afford. ● ZEALOUS JUSTICE – His desire to uphold his duty as the Digital World's protector is an earnest effort that requires ruthless dedication; such an absolute way of thinking clouds his ability to trust another Tamer's commitment to the cause, leading the Red Mantle to be more suspicious of others than usual. ● FOR THE CAUSE – The Red Mantle's single-minded devotion to the ideals of peace and justice often reminds him that he must make decisions that lesser men cannot carry through. He does what must be done, even if it earns him the disrespect or hatred of his peers. ● THE SORROW – Like any hero worth his weight in gold, the Red Mantle is haunted by an enormous laundry list of past mistakes that continue to gnaw at his very resolve. Only by closing himself off from his emotions can he continue to shoulder the pain... But for how long? ● THE ABYSS STARES BACK – Constant exposure to the negative energies of the Digital World have made the Red Mantle all the more vulnerable to its influence. It's only a matter of time before his ability to resist starts to fade... APPEARANCE A tall man possessed of a dark skin complexion, the nameless warrior known only as the "Red Mantle" stands with a fully erect posture, indicative of one who has spent his entire life serving as an example to others. Whether out of self-composure or pride, hardly any evidence of hesitation can be seen radiating from his slender yet muscular frame. Due to the Digital World's vastly different aging mechanics, it arguably comes as a shock to those who find out that the Red Mantle is rapidly closing in on his fifties, despite appearing — and fighting — as though he were in the prime of his youth. Repeated exposure to malignant data has permanently robbed his hair of any color it once had, resulting in the snow white locks you see today, and his eyes, formerly a striking blue, are now a dull steel grey. Apart from his black combat fatigues, of which includes an artistically crafted breastplate, the Red Mantle's most prominent feature lies in the pair of scarlet cloaks that give him his title, split between his upper and lower torso for reasons that appear to be mostly aesthetic in nature. BIOGRAPHY Very little information outside of urban legends and vaguely documented stories can shed any light on the history of a man whose very name and past were lost unto themselves, now relics of an age long gone. Many dismiss his existence as a figment of the imagination, a mere fairy tale told to baby Digimon as a way to inspire them in these dark and trying times. He is described as a tall, dark and mysterious warrior who appears before the less fortunate, offering them protection from their oppressors and promising swift, merciless retribution against those possessed of cruel, wicked hearts. When the deed is finished, he vanishes back into the shadows of obscurity without a single trace. A true wraith, in most senses of the word. Some believe he is an agent of the heavens, sent down to cleanse the Digital World of evil in the name of the Master Computer. Others scornfully dismiss the Red Mantle as a vagabond, a criminal, and a renegade looking for nothing more than to replace the ones currently in power. Only a dangerously small handful of people, however, know fully of the Red Mantle's true identity and intentions. They know that his name is a false one, but are also aware of its purpose; it is a symbol of hope, a beacon for the downtrodden and the defeated to look toward in their darkest hour. Beneath the identity of the Red Mantle is more than just flesh – it is an idea. And ideas are bulletproof.

BASE FORM

APPEARANCE A Veemon by most traditional standards, Blue stands roughly several inches higher than other members of his species and is somewhat heavier as a result. To better distinguish himself from other Veemon, Blue has taken to wearing a shabby brown windbreaker. When cloaked under the effects of his holosuit device, Blue takes on the guise of a young human male in his late twenties with red eyes, long, sapphire-colored hair kept fastened into a ponytail, and dressed in an outfit consisting of a stunning blue, one-piece jumpsuit with silvered accoutrements. PERSONALITY Possessed of a witty repartee and a knack for finding trouble when he least desires it, Blue is the hot-blooded, feisty counterpart and foil to the Red Mantle's stoic, cool-headed temperament. He tackles life with a devil-may-care attitude and is never without a flippant comment or seven. Most of those who meet Blue for the first time may have difficulty understanding why a Rookie can possess such brimming levels of confidence in his own abilities. Little do these people know, Blue's somewhat obnoxious behavior is wholly reinforced by three decades of valuable combat experience, made all the more illustrious by his colorful and virtually unblemished battle record; a feat that only the strongest and most dangerous Digimon are able to boast of. And he certainly likes to boast about it, from time to time. But Blue is not all sunshine and rainbows, despite how he may carry himself in the current set of circumstances. Chosen by destiny itself to be the Red Mantle's partner, Blue has personally witnessed the pain and suffering his human companion has endured for over thirty years, and he finds himself slowly growing more and more worried for his overall well being. Even heroes have to take a break from the hero business every once in a while – and it doesn't seem like something that Red willingly wants to do. Yet, deep down, Blue knows that the job is never truly done, and that his partner cannot achieve the respite he craves so dearly until it is so. Thus he supports the Red Mantle's endeavors, no matter how taxing they may be to his mind or body, and is willing to fight to the very last breath if it means helping him live another day. Until then, Blue can only fight on with him. Fight on, and hope for a miracle. BACKGROUND Even less is known about the Red Mantle's Digimon partner-in-crime, a Veemon who refers to himself by the apt title of "Blue". Much like the human he calls his partner, Blue is well-known for dispensing righteous justice in the blink of an eye, only to disappear without a moment's notice. Having been personally trained in the martial arts by the legendary Tamer himself, it is said that only Blue has the potential to rival – and even exceed – the Red Mantle's own abilities in combat, and such a possibility makes him especially dangerous to those who have been warned of his existence. Now, Blue emerges from the shadows once again alongside his companion in arms, ready to challenge those who would bring despair and darkness down over the Digital World they call home. And that's the last mistake they'll ever get to make.

VEEMON

ROOKIE

STATISTICS ( NEUTRAL ) HP: 150 AP: 3 OFF: 10 DEF: 15 AGT: 15 SPC: 10 PASSIVE ABILITIES ○ CONCEALED POWER Special - Neutral Blue has mastered the ancient and secret art of energy suppression through years of constant training and meditation, allowing him to conceal his true level of power from the senses of others. Up until Blue launches his first attack, whether basic or active, all of his statistical values will be treated as though they were of Fresh level, after which he will receive a temporary +10 to SPC until the end of his next turn. ACTIVE ABILITIES ○ BLUE BOMBER Special - Neutral By bringing the heels of his hands together and concentrating his thoughts toward a singular point, Blue shapes non-elemental energy into a bluish-colored sphere before discharging it as a missile-based projectile with a linear flight path and moderate travel speed. If SHINING BLUE is active upon executing this move, BLUE BOMBER becomes a short-lived laser burst attack that inflicts full damage to the target, ignoring DEF or any active barriers. DAMAGE: 5 COOLDOWN: --- ○ BLUE RISER Physical - Neutral Blue lunges forward and delivers a power-packed uppercut to the target, lifting off of the ground in the process. A successful blow will render the target dizzy for their next turn, somewhat diminishing the final accuracy of their attacks. If SHINING BLUE is active upon executing this move, the opponent will be stunned on their next turn instead. DAMAGE: 8 COOLDOWN: 2 turns ○ SHINING BLUE Special - Neutral Blue enters an offensive stance as he exerts his own spiritual energy from his fists, cloaking them in a shimmering blue aura visually similar to flames. For three turns, all of Blue's active attacks gain additional properties and his OFF and SPC values are temporarily raised by +10 points. DAMAGE: --- COOLDOWN: 4 turns

FLAMEDRAMON

CHAMPION

STATISTICS ( FIRE ) HP: 150 AP: 4 OFF: 15 DEF: 15 AGT: 20 SPC: 20 PASSIVE ABILITIES ○ FIRE OF COURAGE Special - Neutral As Flamedramon, Blue's innate connection to the elemental power of fire allows him to convert his own fighting spirit into raw energy when faced with extreme adversity. All Fire elemental attacks, physical or special, will only inflict half of their final damage against Blue, and he is immune to burn effects. Furthermore, when Blue's HP drops below 1/3 of its original value (50 points or lower), his OFF score receives a +20 point bonus as long as he remains below this threshold. ACTIVE ABILITIES ○ FIRE ROCKET Physical - Fire Blue summons a blistering cloak of fire around himself, then charges into his target using a full body tackle, inflicting considerable amounts of damage as well as bearing the potential to leave them with burns that linger until the end of the foe's next turn, taking off an additional 5 points from their health and rendering them temporarily vulnerable to future Fire elemental attacks. DAMAGE: 15 COOLDOWN: 2 turns ○ THERMAL WINDS Special - Fire Rapidly accelerates the temperature of all surrounding oxygen particles in order to create a dense barrier of thermal heat. As long as the shield is sustained, Blue is under a constant root effect, unable to evade or move from his current location, in exchange for a constant +20 DEF bonus and the ability to entirely negate all damage from Fire elemental attacks. Targets suffering from burn status that attempt to physically attack Blue while THERMAL WINDS is active will have the lasting duration of their burns increased by an additional two turns. Cooldown is initiated when the barrier is dropped voluntarily, or if Blue sustains damage from an attack of Ultimate or higher. DAMAGE: +20 DEF, Fireproof COOLDOWN: 3 turns ○ HEAVY FIRE Special - Fire With a series of dynamic physical movements, Blue launches a full-scale volley of basketball-sized fire bombs that detonate on contact with any solid surface, blanketing a 20 meter, cone-shaped area of effect with a series of small-scale explosions that requires foes to spend 2 AP to successfully evade the onslaught. DAMAGE: 15 COOLDOWN: --- ○ METEOR STRIKE Special - Fire Blue launches high into the air, then allows his body to enter free fall, surrounding himself in a cocoon of flames that grows hotter and brighter the faster he descends. On impact with his target, he will inflict heavy amounts of damage while also stunning the foe for their next turn. In the event Blue misses with this attack, the cloak of fire is dispersed as a tidal flame that spreads 35 meters from the epicenter, inflicting reduced area of effect damage to all targets in range while subsequently imparting burns that linger for two turns and shaves off an additional 5 points of health per turn. DAMAGE: 25 if successful, otherwise 10 COOLDOWN: 4 turns
