CHARACTER APPLICATION
If you want to apply for a character at Digital Dive, simply take one of the forms below and reply to this post.
Applications will now be judged on a rotation cycle. Applications can be submitted throughout the entire month, but they will only be judged, rejected, or sent back for revision in the last two weeks of any calendar month.
New to Digital Dive, you can now use the Dive Tests Network to act in place of the RP Sample or D-Comm Network Post. You can only use it for one, however! Further details for how this works can be found here.
Before you apply, there are a few points we'd like to make known:
If you wish to app a character from a movie, video game, or other work released in individual (read, not regular), we'd like to ask that you wait for 30 days out of consideration for spoilers.
Most applications are judged on a two strikes your out policy, with applicants being given one chance to correct aspects of an app that the moderators feel are lacking or in error. However, if the majority of the application has numerous faults, the moderators reserve the right to reject an app wholesale. In the case of a rejected application, you must wait a full month before applying or reserving for them again, and in that time, the character you have applied for is still considered up for grabs.
Because all situations and canons are different, the moderators reserve the rights to question an application's merit and communicate with the applicant about the matter. This can range from how long the canon has been running, the point in which the character is being applied for, concerns of potential canon-mates, and whatever other necessary situations may arise.
We've provided explanations for each section, so please read over them before you apply!
Name and personal journal: List the name you'd like to be called along with your personal journal, if you have one.
Contact: List the methods by which you can be contacted here, including email, instant messagers, or anything else. We must have some means of getting hold of you outside Dreamwidth itself.
Player's Age: Please list your personal age. We ask presently that players be over the age of 16.
Character/Canon: List the character's name and the canon they originate from. If your character is an original creation, regardless of origin, please indicate this.
Character Type: Is your character a main character, a secondary character, a background character, or an OC?
Tamer Class: Please specify whether you are applying for a Soul Tamer, Matrix Tamer, Spirit Tamer, Xros Tamer, or a Digimon on its own. If you are uncertain of which to select, refer to the respective write-ups on Tamer classes.
Furthermore, if you are applying for a Spirit OR Xros Tamer, we would like you to explain why you believe it would fit your character.
Understand that we can and will, if necessary, deny or ask you change your Tamer Class if it is deemed ill-fitting of the character. This does not count as a strike towards rejection, however, except under circumstances when we determine the Class to be ill-fitting and the applicant doesn't comply.
If you don't understand the Class System well and are uncertain of what to pick, you can either ask a moderator, or simply choose "Soul Tamer" as the default option as it is the easiest to manage. You can always change you Class later!
Character appearance: Post an image of your character's appearance, or post a description if you don't have one.
Character age: List your character's age.
Digimon partner(s)/Spirit/Xros Army: If you are applying for a Soul or Matrix Tamer, please list the digimon you have selected for your partner. This digimon must be at the Child level or lower. You need not determine the rest of its evolution line at this time, and even if you do, you may change it at any time provided you haven't already depicted it as evolving into something else. If your Digimon is a fan creation, please indicate this.
If you are applying for a Spirit Tamer, simply state whether you have chosen the Spirit of Fire, Light, Wind, Ice, Thunder, Steel, Water, Wood, Earth, Darkness, or Corrupted Darkness.
If you are applying for a Xros Tamer, due to the fact that these require more information, we require you to list your army's main partner, their super evolution, and the remaining members of their army.
If you are applying for a character who is a Digimon, feel free to leave this blank. However, if said Digimon is an original creation, please indicate this. We are also not accepting applications for Digimon characters who are the Ultimate/Mega level that do not originate from an existing canon - simply put, you would be allowed to apply for BlackWarGreymon from the Digimon Adventure 02 anime, but not an original character who is a BlackWarGreymon.
In general, if you have trouble coming up with a Digimon Partner, you can feel free to ask the community over AIM, the moderators, or refer to sites such as the Digital Monster Almanac or Wikimon.
Xros Ups: If you are applying for a Xros Tamer, we need to know the Xros Ups your Tamer will be able to form from your Primary Partner, what they're called, and what they can do, including attacks and any other special abilities. Note, that this section is also important for determining you have a grasp of the Digi-Xros concept, so this is where you will show that knowledge. This section is not on the app for non-Xros Tamers.
Character history: Describe your character's history. If you're going to go into great, extensive detail, you won't be denied, but note that we do not need a novel written. Quality comes before quantity, and we simply want to know you understand and grasp the canon you are apping from, as well as give us context so we can better understand the following sections. So, please write it out in a concise, but informative manner.
Note however, that for original characters we will hold this section up to much higher standards. An original character can be rejected based on factors ranging from background quality or just seeming to be a poorly conceived character.
Character personality: Describe your character's personality in an informative, but concise, manner. This is one of the most important aspects of the application, to really show you understand the character and where they might be coming from. The raised standards for original characters also applies here.
Digimon partner personality: Describe your Digimon's personality in an informative, but concise manner. Your Digimon are characters too, and just as important as their Tamer. If you are applying for a Xros Tamer or a Tamer with multiple partners, you must list personality for ALL Digimon. Each one will be held up to the same standards as a single partner. If you are apping a Spirit Tamer, you can skip or remove this section.
Character abilities: Describe your character's abilities. Keep in mind that all offensive powers must be scaled down to the Adult level. Most powers that rely on external sources outside the Digital World generally won't function, though there can be the occasional exception depending on how it's described. Keep in mind this is also an important part of determining whether or not the Tamer Class you have selected for your character is right for them.
Please focus on the character's primary, distinct abilities. If the character has a multitude of attacks or spells, free to link to a wiki or other listing that covers said arsenal of powers, but this cannot substitute for the entire ability write-up.
If your character's abilities exceed that which is deemed fair towards the role play in general, you may be asked to tone them down.
On another note, Dive does consider allowing characters to arrive with piloted mecha. This is subject to certain scrutiny, of course, and is judged in comparison to the character's personal abilities outside of the suit and how much their character revolves around the use of said machine.
Sample RP: Please give us a third person role-play sample, depicting your character and their partner(s) interacting. Both sample sections are very important to show your character's voice, and your ability to write your character from a prose perspective, as this will make up a large potential chunk of your role playing in the Logs community.
Sample D-Comm Network Post: Please give us a role play sample from the perspective of posting from the D-Comm Network. It is, effectively, like posting in an online journal or social networking site. Again, we are trying to get a feel for your character's voice.
This is the app for Soul, Spirit, and Matrix Tamers, as well as standalone digimon characters.
This is the app for Xros Tamers:
Banned Digimon partners:
Keep in mind that some digimon are not allowed as digimon partners or components in an evolution line. These digimon are as follows:
Lucemon (all forms)
Arkadimon (all forms)
Apocalymon
Death-X-mon
Ogudamon
Omegamon
Susanoomon
Chaosmon
UltimateChaosmon
Millenniummon
Moon=Millenniumon
ZeedMillenniumon
Gizmon (all forms)
DarknessBagramon
Quartzmon
In addition, with a few notable exceptions, most "Mode Changes" are not acceptable at this time, and you must select the basic version of those Ultimates. The exceptions are Imperialdramon Dragon Mode and Fighter Mode, both of which can be selected as indvidual Digimon, and Duftmon Leopard Mode, which is a component of Duftmon's abilities.

Amy Rose + Reserved! this is a horrible app
Contact: ashudastampedo AT gmail DOT com (email), Seyli Hsa (AIM), pornfetti (plurk)
Player's Age: 27
Character/Series: Amy Rose, Sonic the Hedgehog (Games)
Character Type: Secondary Main.
Tamer Class: Soul
Character appearance: Amy is a 2'11" tall pink colored hedgehog. There isn't much more to say about that.
Character age: She's 12.
Digimon partner(s)/Spirit/Evolution Line: Goblimon > Grottomon > Gigasmon > Boltmon
Character history:
A long time ago, but not really, there was a young hedgehog girl. Her name is Amy Rose, she also happens to have known of a famous hedgehog boy by the name of Sonic. Well one day she decided to do a tarot reading for him and herself, and she learned that ~destiny~ wanted them to meet at a place called "the little planet". The little planet was a small planetoid that would appear at a certain spot in their world during one month of the year, so guess what Miss Rose did? She went to the planet to go meet Sonic the goddamned Hedgehog. Which she did, but that also got her kidnapped by Metal Sonic a robot double made by Eggman. But! Sonic, whilst saving the little planet from Eggman also saved Amy which started a life time
horror for himdevotion to him.No seriously, it did. Amy started to learn how to fight, using a hammer as her weapon of choice to impress Sonic. Heck, she even entered a fighting thing for the emeralds!
But no one cares about Sonic the Fighters game.And after that Amy didn't really, make her presence known until a long time later.That time being during the events of Sonic Adventure, where Amy actually got involved in everything! Mostly by her befriending the E-series robot 102 Gamma and a blue Flicky she named "Birdie". It was via Birdie that she ended up getting chased by Eggman's robots after the Chaos Emerald the bird was carrying, and Amy being who she is wasn't just going to let Eggman have the bird. During that she ran into, and then eventually lost, Sonic and shortly after that she got caught by Eggman. It was while she was captured that she actually met Gamma and got the robot to switch sides just by talking to it. That resulted in her and Birdie managing to escape and then the ended up, somehow, in the past to see the echidna Tikal with chao and Chaos. Confused upon returning to the present time, Amy and Birdie made their way to where Eggman was facing down Sonic and Tails. Amy was happy to see Sonic, but fuck her being happy, Eggman grabbed Birdie and took the chaos emerald from the bird and then told Gamma to kill 'em all as he left. Amy would have none of that bullshittery though, so as Sonic and Gamma were about to throw down she got inbetween them and got them to stop. Of course this was happening as the Egg Carrier, the place they're all on, was gonna crash or explode, whatever, so Sonic told Tails to fly Amy out of there.
Which he did, so Amy was back in Station Square safe and sound she declared she was going to find Birdie's family which meant looking in the Final Egg (why? Because Eggman) and the crashed Egg Carrier. While doing this they got attacked by ZERO and Birdie was hurt, which pissed Amy off so... That poor poor robot, because Amy beat the crap out of it. Anyway, Birdie ends up reunited with it's family when Gamma and Beta are destroyed and Amy leaves making a promise to herself that she'll make Sonic respect her.
Then some time passes, or not much time, who knows with these games? ANYWAY the whole stuff with Adventure 2 starts going down. About the only big things Amy did during this is freeing Sonic from prison, with the promise of a date with him for her busting him out, and her getting Shadow to remember the goddamned truth about Maria's dying wish. Yeah, that's the important stuff and I doubt you guys want me to talk about more stuff here so ON TO THE NEXT BIT.
MORE TIME PASSES, maybe, and Amy has teamed up with Cream and Big to hunt down various folks important to them. Yep, it's Sonic Heroes time. In this case they're following the lead of a picture of what appears to be Sonic taking off with Chocola, a chao friend of Cream's chao Cheese, and Froggy, Big's bestest buddy frog. While her other team mates are in it for good reasons, Amy is hunting down Sonic to get him to marry her. Anyway while doing this they run into all sorts, like amnesiac Shadow hanging with Rouge and E-123 Omega, the Chaotix (and Amy tells Vector to bugger off cause she wouldn't date him) and even Sonic and his friends. By the end of all this they find out that, hey it wasn't Sonic but that buttface Metal Sonic who kidnapped Chocola and Froggy. So Metal gets his ass kicked and the day is saved. Like how all these things end, except Amy didn't get what she wanted.
Shortly after that the whole "Dark Arms want to nom the earth" thing happened, and during it Amy seeked Shadow's help in saving Cream and Cheese from on of Eggman's bases. Oh and she was around during the big epic battle so she got to cheer Shadow on in committing alien genocide, yay!
Then there was Sonic 06, but like Sonic the Fighters no one cares about it! Also it erased itself from canon, so ha.Sonic Unleashed happens, Amy hugged were-Sonic and made him depressed because she didn't know it was him. Also she cheers some old guy up by believing beyond a doubt that Sonic will save the day.
The the Riders stuff happens, not all in a row but it kinda comes down to Amy joins the races to be near Sonic. Shenanigans happen, she gets mad! Possibly people get hurt! But the day ends up saved, by Sonic! But Amy is still pissed at him, what's new!
Character personality:
Amy is a unique young lady. As she was, when she was younger, purely a tomboy with some more girly-girl tendancies but once she got older (around the time of the events in Adventure) things got flopped around. As she's now a bit more girly-girl with tomboyish traits, since she has not qualms about getting her hands dirty considering how she fights.
She's also a very sweet and optimistic girl, seeing the good in people whom others don't usually see such things (ie: Shadow during the climax of Adventure 2). But on certain subjects she has a hair trigger temper and she can be very scary when she gets angry.
Heck, she also is relentless in the things she pursues which can also come off as scary to others. Not that she seems to notice. All in all, she is a nice girl with a few... oddities about her.
Digimon partner personality:
Goblimon is, when you get down to it, an even tempered 'mon who just won't suffer fools lightly. Unlike her tamer, Goblimon does not have the hair trigger temper that Amy has, in fact unless you are very foolish she's pretty chill with you.
Heck, she even doesn't mind being thought of, or even reffered to, as male. Since most Goblimon tend to identify as male anyway.
She also tries to be helpful to those she is friends with, more like a big sister really, and see them mature and become better people. Which is something she wants to see happen with her Tamer, all things considered.
Goblimon also has a soft spot for cute and adorable things as well.
Character abilities:
Amy's abilities are well, some are unique to herself while some are shared by others. Like her speed, although she's not as fast as say, Sonic, she can keep up with the best of them. And in fact she can keep Sonic looking behind him just in case she's catching up.
Although that could be because she is also skilled at tarot reading and dowsing, which she can, and has, used to find Sonic at times. It's also misguided her, as she has thought she found Sonic but instead it was some other hedgehog of possible heroic tendencies. (ie: Shadow or Silver.)
But Amy's most well known skill is her ability with her hammer, the Piko Piko Hammer. With it Amy is possibly one of the stronger characters in the Sonic universe, as with it she actually puts certain characters into a state of fear. Anyway, what she can do with it varies from the simple things, like swinging it mightily to hit foes/obsictcales. But she can also sping around with it and create mini-tornado like attacks, or heck spin it to help her hover through the air. Heck she can use it as a spring to make it so she can jump higher as well. In fact without the Hammer? Amy loses most of her combat prowess.
Sample RP:
Amy could say that she had never seen anything like Neon City, but that would be a lie. Or at least a slight lie, as she has seen Casinopolis. This was just the same thing only on a much larger scale.
Even though Goblimon had told her that no, it's not the same thing and that Amy should be careful with where she goes in the city. That and some of the best shops seem to be here too, so her and the digimon calling herself her partner were doing just that. Shopping.
"Hm, I think we can go through here to get to where we want to go quicker, Goblimon," Amy spoke up, pointing at a side street that, to anyone normal, doesn't look all that safe. Goblimon was about to speak up, convince Amy to go another way around when Amy just goes right down that way, causing the digimon to sigh as she follows. This was going to prove to be a bad idea very quickly, as Amy accidently bumped into a large digimon.
An Ogremon to be exact, and angry as hell Ogremon too it seems. "Watch where you're going pipsqueak," the adult digimon growled at Amy, glaring at the hedgehog before giving a dirty look at Goblimon. "You should keep your pet on leash too." He added, not noticing that his comment has gotten a bit of a reaction from Amy. Like the fact that Amy is grinding her teeth.
But Goblimon notices and rolls her eyes. "I could say the same to you too, except no one sane would want a stupid 'mon for a pet," the child digimon moved to put a hand on Amy's shoulder, trying to get the hedgehog to be calm but that's not going to work this time it seems since the Ogremon seems to be jonsing for a fight.
"And you're still the dumb bitch I dated," Orgemon quipped, chuckling to himself as if what he said was the most hilarious thing ever. Which it's not, considering Amy has taken out her hammer by now and is glaring daggers at Ogremon. "Oh no, you better keep your pet in line if she's gonna try hitting me with that toy, Goblimon." Ogremon started laughing, as Goblimon sighs. She, Goblimon, wasn't going to do anything unless Ogremon had turned more violent but now...
Whelp, it's not like it lasted all too long considering how easily it seems to get Amy angry, as Goblimon is dragging Amy off quickly. "But he called you-!" Amy started to say as Goblimon kept dragging her off, before the digimon simply replied. "He's an idiot but beating up every one who says something like that means we'd be here forever, now let's go before we get into trouble!"
Sample D-Comm Network Post:
One phone call, I can't believe thi--Eh it's on?!
Hello anyone? Sonic? Someone! This is crazy! They put me in jail! [yes, Amy cannot believe that happened]
And and Goblimon can't get me out either, she says that it's my fault! [huff] When a lady ends up in jail for defending herself, what kind of world are we in?
