Ask A Moderator - Suggestions, Questions, and Help

[digitaldivemods]

Have a question? Want to suggest something to help the game run smoother? Just need some help in general with the game?

We're here to help!

Whether it's questions on our application process, how things in the game world function, how the Tamer Class System or Digimon evolution works, or any relevant question that might come to you? Please, feel free to ask it!

Even if you're not very knowledgeable on Digimon in general, we're willing to explain anything you need to know to get you going and having fun in the game. On staff are moderators who have extremely intricate knowledge of the Digimon franchise, so if there's a Digimon question, we can definitely find an answer quickly.

Need help coming up with a Digimon partner, or evolution line, that fits the character you're applying for? We can definitely help there, too. (Though given it is a part of understanding the Digi-Xros concept, we're going to want you to try and work out Xros Ups for Xros Tamers yourselves. But remember that is something of an advanced, time consuming Tamer Class. You don't have to dive headlong into something that difficult right away, if you're new!)

These are just a few examples, of course, so feel free to ask whatever you need to!

Hi! I’ve been interested in Digital Dive for a while, and I was debating between reapplying here (since I was a player here a long time ago), but I have some questions! Especially since some of them are ridiculously specific to a certain fandom.

1. First off, how do you guys feel about two characters who come from different timepoints but are considered as two separate characters in the timeline?

The character I’m actually thinking about is Mikuru Asahina (big) from the Haruhi series – she is actually distinctly different than the smaller Mikuru, even though they are the same. I’d explain more, but it goes into Surprise spoilers, which I would like to avoid in this thread.

2. And what about a character from another medium? Let’s say the character is already taken from the main medium (manga, anime, light novel), but there is a canon alternate version of that fandom which makes the character slightly different?

I think that’s it. Thanks a lot for replying in advance!

My apologies for the delay in responding here.

First off, for (big) Mikuru, unfortunately we don't think we can allow that in this case.

For the second matter, could you clarify just how the canon is different, and just what kind of medium it is? We do allow canonical AUs, we just need to get an idea of where they're from and how different they are before we can tell if they're different enough to be allowed in.

I think they mean something along the lines of Edward Elric from the first anime, and Edward Elric from Brotherhood/manga. Essentially the same character, from the same universe, but slightly different in how their personalities develop and how their story goes.

That's actually a question I'm going to follow up on with them and ask if that's cool? I know anime and manga can very wildly enough for them to might as well be two characters. Actually Train, Hao, and Cut Man (if you count Ruby Spears) all fall under that.

I don't plan to do it myself but I'm just backing them up.

If it's like that we already allow and have or have had numerous characters like that in the game before. It simply depends on how divergent and different both canons are.

That's completely fine! I was thinking of this version of canon, a canon alternate AU where all the characters are placed in a Disappearance-verse setting (basically, an "as if" the world never had any sort of unusual oddities).

Several (or, well a good majority) of the characters in there act different than canon. Haruhi's a lot nicer (and ships Nagato/Kyon), Kyon is calmer (though he does act lineface-y towards certain people), Nagato shows more emotions, and Asakura is overprotective towards Nagato.

I hope this answers your questions, and I'll be looking forward to your reply!

For the sake of reference and solidifying our answer, was there a particular character there that you may have been looking at?

[extraordinarily]

I was thinking about Haruhi or Yuki, actually.
