The basic appearance of a Matrix Digivice, performing a card slash
The Matrix Tamer is based off of the characters from Digimon Tamers. It is a Class intended to give options to those who don't participate directly in combat, but still want to help amplify their Digimon's fighting ability.
They do this by utilizing an ability called "Card Slash" which uses a set series of "Option Cards" to temporarily boost their Digimon's power, or evolve them. When they reach the Ultimate Level, Tamer and Digimon unite as one being.
When applying for a Matrix Tamer, simply indicate that in the "Tamer Class" field of the application. If your character is, however, deemed too powerful with their normal abilities, we will recommend you change them to the Soul Tamer class. Remember - if your character already has a range of powers and abilities themselves, they don't NEED to be a Matrix Tamer.
A Matrix Tamer has a series of Option Cards allotted to them when they are accepted as that Class, which will be listed at the bottom of this page. They also recieve their own Matrix Digivice, which has a reader on its side that will read the cards when they're Slashed. Card Slashing is the act of activating the power contained within any Option Card. The effects of any given Card Slash will last for a short burst of time, generally two or three tags worth. Only a couple cards can be used at a once. After one is used, it cannot be Slashed again for an hour, or it will have no effect.
The strength of any power-up gained by Card Slashing will be equal to the level of the Digimon. Only the Digimon is affected by Option Cards, and they have no bearing on the Tamer.
A Matrix Tamer MUST be near their Digimon to Card Slash.
A Matrix Tamer evolves their Digimon in two ways: Card Slashing and Matrix Evolution Fusion. The former method applies to Adult and Perfect, while the latter applies soley to Ultimate.
MATRIX TAMER
| Adult | Simply Card Slash the "Super Evolution Plug-In S" card. | All new Matrix Tamers can access this. |
| Perfect | When the Tamer reaches a state of understanding and clarity, one of their cards will temporarily transform into a Blue Card which can then be slashed to evolve another stage. | This requires the character to be in the game for three months, having acquired Adult Level, and having participated in at least one previous battle with said Adult Digimon. |
| Ultimate | When the Tamer and Digimon reach a level of unity and understanding, they can fuse together to form their final level. | The character must be in the game for six months, and have two prior battle evolutions to Perfect level. |
In this united Ultimate level, a Matrix Tamer cannot utilize Option Cards. To compensate, a Matrix Ultimate is slightly tougher than a standard one. However, for instance, a Soul Tamer that has the ability to fight alongside their own Ultimate Digimon would still be stronger than a Matrix Ultimate.
This method of achieving Ultimate always puts a Matrix Tamer on the front lines of a battle. If the Digimon is killed, then the Tamer will die, as well, and any injuries inflicted upon the Digimon will reflect back upon the Tamer when the battle is over and they split back to their normal selves.
Ultimate Evolution must be achieved when the Digimon is at Child Level.
To make certain a Matrix Tamer is not a sitting duck in any given battle, they have been given an increased Shield Barrier. This protects the Tamer, and only the Tamer. Its output has been super charged, so attacks leveled against them will often do little good, meaning the Digimon must be attacked instead. Like with Card Slashing, the Shield Barrier must have the Digimon present to do any good.
As a trade off, heavy damage inflicted upon the Digimon's Adult and Perfect forms will reflect the pain back upon the Tamer. It may not cause actual injuries, but they can still FEEL the Digimon being hit then, which can affect their ability to fight if they're not careful.
If a Matrix Tamer loses control of their emotions, and in particular feels a great feeling of hate and anger, they can trigger a Dark Evolution in their Digimon. It can apply to all levels, but if it is triggered at the Perfect Level it will cause a Dark Ultimate Evolution without the aid of Matrix Fusion. However, this is not helpful, as the Digimon will not be able to controlled, and will be a danger to everyone around it, including its Tamer.
Option Cards will not work if a Digimon is Dark Evolved, and there cannot be a Dark Matrix Fusion Ultimate.
