Post by Wren Solomon on Aug 18, 2024 23:51:09 GMT -5
Name: Wren Solomon
Age: 14
Birthday: 2/1
Gender: Male
Hometown: Chicago, United States
Occupation: Student
Class: Soulburst; Hybrid Warrior
Digivice: A Digivice-V Model Digivice (Vital Bracelet) with a purple band with grey chain decals around it and a plain black screen which cracks slightly when Wren digivolves (but miraculously repairs itself between threads)
Defining Trait: Resilience
Digisoul: Data chains which wind around him - Rigid and resolute, yet flowing.
AR Field: The area is stripped of color and decoration asides from raw brick and concrete, glass shatters and lingers in the air and on the ground, and the border of the AR field becomes walled off with layers of chains and locks.
Homepage: A prison cell looming in space, nothing but bricks and metal with a void on the outside. The bed is fairly uncomfortable, and there's not much room to stretch your legs. It can be expanded to include other prison facilities, with each area mostly consistent of a floor of concrete with walls made from chains interlinking into a fence. Items inherent to the facility, such as workout equipment, are made of cement and rebar chained together roughly, but otherwise function properly.
Appearance: A young teen of fairly unimposing height with light freckled skin, shaggy brown hair, and dull purple eyes. He wears a black leather jacket with red accents, open over a grey t-shirt, with black jeans wrapped in multiple belts around the waist and legs, and some combat boots that match his jacket. To top off his look, he wears a black cabbie hat with a checkered-purple band. He usually has a fairly dour expression on his face, but it grows to a smile in the presence of impending violence.
Personality: Strength, that's the foremost thing on Wren's mind. He looks at the world through a lens of 'who I can beat' and 'who I must become stronger than'. From this very simple gauge of character, he decides immediately who he respects, who he must protect, who he must defeat. He lets his gut do all the thinking, and while it's terrible for his grades, he stands resolutely by his convictions.
While it often comes across as arbitrary, there's actually a pretty reasonable way to figure out Wren's thought patterns - If there is somebody who is strong and has resolution in their heart, he will respect them regardless of whether he must defeat them or not. If this individual poses a threat to those weaker than them, then he must defeat them, even if he knows he cannot. Then, of course, there are those he must protect – Somebody who isn't strong, or is simply weaker than one he must defeat.
In his view, the world is trapped in an eternal cycle of violence, held back only by the social contract, which breaks down further and further as times get harder and harder. All it takes is somebody reaching the breaking point before they lash out, and if they do so while nobody is ready and willing to stand between them and innocent lives - people get hurt unjustly.
Wren doesn't implicitly trust people to do what's right in this world, at least not without proving themselves. So if it can't be anybody else, it has to be him who's ready and willing to protect - it has to be him who is strong enough to make a difference. He views it as his duty - though there are many who would view it as an excuse to morally justify picking fights.
He doesn't get along well with law enforcement or people who otherwise set and enforce the rules. This is simply because, in his eyes, they exist to threaten the weak and do functionally nothing to protect them. They exist only to punish, rather than prevent harm, which makes them useless - especially when they view 'the winner' as the offender simply because they perceive strength as proof of greater criminal capacity.
That said, in regards to friends, Wren is a calm older brother type. He tends to treat people he protects or butts heads with often like a part of his family, often inviting them places on his dime after reversing a shakedown and walking away with some guy's wallet. He enjoys sharing meals with people he trusts - but on the flip side, he hates eating around strangers and will starve himself for days if he has to in order to avoid doing so.
When it comes to enemies, there's people he just doesn't like, who are otherwise harmless, and there are people who he's fixated on because they are a threat he must defeat. When it's the latter case, he has a tendency to make that individual a part of his identity - he refers to himself in terms of that enemy. In cases of noteworthy power disparity between he and they, Wren can become self-deprecating to the point of total depression. That said, if he can find even a glimmer of hope that he could close that gap, he will seize it with all his might.
Romance isn't something implicitly on his mind, but his tendency to treat friends like family isn't far from a form of courtship itself. He doesn't really consider the implications of a gender disparity between himself and a person he invites to dinner - the same way he doesn't consider this disparity when a girl is strong and dangerous and therefore must be defeated. His mind is linear and his conscience clear of social nuance.
Therefore, there are many ways he could stumble headfirst into any manner of romantic relationship. It would take a long while before he figured out he was in one, though, hardheaded as he is.
History: Wren is the oldest son in the Solomon family, born in Chicago to a family with an accountant for a father and a waitress for a mother. Their life was rather peaceful, and they even gave him a younger brother when he turned 3. However, times grew tough when his father's firm decided to downsize, and took the brunt of their income away from the family.
Living on their mother's paychecks and tip money required them to move into the rougher side of the neighborhood for a few years. In this time, Wren had to attend a worse school, and unfortunately started getting picked on. This didn't bug him so much since he felt that he could take it, but when his little brother started school, and the same thing happened to him, Wren started to realize that nobody ever did anything to help the weak.
So he decided to take them on - and in doing so he got himself suspended for a week. In that time, his little brother got bullied harder, by older, stronger kids. It wasn't fair, and try as he might to do something about it, Wren was always a step behind. He told his little brother that he couldn't just let them do that to him - he had to figure out a way to fight back or at least lead them to Wren so that he could fight back for him.
Unfortunately, this resulted in his little brother at 8 years old taking a knife for self defense and getting into a fight in which he lost his knife and got stabbed. To spare the details, he didn't make it, and Wren had to tangle with the fact that his brother was killed defending himself from bullies - yet his peers only viewed him as a psycho who brought a knife to school.
There was no fairness, no justice, no equity in their judgement.
That sort of event stuck to Wren and his family like glue, and his father, after failing time and again to gain a steady clerical job, realized with this stain on their reputation, they'd be trapped in the ghettos of chicago forever if he didn't do something dramatic.
So he took his entire retirement savings, and moved their family to Lumen City, where the real estate costs were high, but the demand for accountants and corresponding pay was even higher. His mother, of course had to quit her job as a waitress, but his father landing a new, stable job within the first month was enough that she didn't even have to find a new one.
Wren never got closure on his brother's death - neither confronting the bullies who stabbed him due to their expulsion, nor really getting over the fact that, had he not pushed his brother to try and defend himself, he'd still be alive. His brother was weak, and he should have seen it. What did wind up happening was that he got to this new city, attending a new, far superior school with barely any of the problems the one in his hometown had, and he realized very quickly that he was already quite strong here.
He didn't know anybody in Lumen City, of course, so his sole context was first impressions and gut instinct. The mistake that lost him his brother could never repeat, so he had to not only determine who was strong, but determine who was weak as well. He needed to know who was weak, so he could protect them like he failed to protect his brother.
In the years since moving here, his strength complex has gone unresolved but he's established a bit more of a name for himself. Not many know about the tragedy of his past, those who do are sorry they learned it. However, something that has started to exacerbate his problem is that his mother recently had a baby - a little sister.
When he saw her, the first thought he had wasn't that she was 'cute' - it was that she was 'weak'. So tiny and pathetically weak, that she absolutely needed to be protected. The thought of even one cruel person in this world being strong enough to take her away from him made him sick to his stomach.
He knew he was overreacting, he knew he was illogical. He did his best to swallow his feelings in front of his parents, but the truth was that he'd be insecure for the rest of his days at this rate. Wren needed to be stronger, by any means necessary.
It was then, that rumors surrounding a peculiar app started cycling the mills, and caught his attention — Perhaps this was just what the doctor ordered.
Goals: Become strong, no, the strongest; Protect the weak, at any cost;Get psychological help; Defeat whatever dangers he may face.

Hybrid Claim: Offmon
-PRIMARY LINE-
Level: RookieSpecies: Offmon
Attribute: Virus
Family: Metal Empire
Type: Small Cyborg
Appearance:
Art by PorugueseLynx on Furaffinity
TRAITS
- Potential Energy: Offmon is capable of generating energy through inaction - a slow but steady process which allows him to accumulate power over time, condensing it into something unassuming which explodes out when activated.
- Disconnection: An innate connection to inactivity allows Offmon to create areas in which communications go offline. This creates sense-deprivation zones which extend to digital (sixth) senses - but not physical senses. This can also be used to deactivate electronics by interacting with them using his cables.
- Lethargy: Offmon is capable of attacking the fighting spirit of his enemies - tearing away their motivation as a mental attack, like flipping an off switch.
TECHNIQUES
- Switch Lazy (Potential Energy): Offmon concentrates energy into a small orb. The amount of energy concentrated into it increases for each post he spends charging while doing nothing else apart potentially moving a little bit. At around 3 posts spent charging, it could explode with enough force to topple a small building. Any charged-up version is only usable once per thread, but uncharged is usable any amount of times per thread.
- Disconnection Link (Disconnection): Offmon creates and launches a small energy ball that expands into a large dome that cuts off any communication from the outside, and deactivates digital (sixth) senses.
Duration: 2 Posts
Cooldown: 2 Posts- Heartbreak Punch (Lethargy): Offmon delivers a strike which doesn't do damage to the body, instead causing damage directly to the target's fighting spirit. As their motivation dwindles, their fighting power will decrease, giving him an edge.
Duration: 3 Posts
Cooldown: 2 Posts- Switch Zen (Potential Energy): Offmon takes no action to defend himself, causing energy to concentrate within his body, standing there and taking a hit. The potential energy within counteracts external force, allowing him dramatically reduce the impact of an attack that hits him. He essentially removes any possibility of avoiding an attack to reduce the damage it deals.
Level: ChampionSpecies: Logamon
Attribute: Virus
Family: Metal Empire
Type: Cyborg
Appearance:
Art by Digisoul.net on Facebook
TRAITS
- Space Ripper: Logamon is imbued with the power to 'lock enemy digimon out of the system' - functionally creating rips in digital spacetime with his claws. These lingering rips can functionally close off access to the areas beyond them, slashing anybody who even accidentally comes into contact with them.
- Offline Space: Logamon can create a pocket dimension at his leisure, but actually using it in combat can be very unwieldy since it technically 'doesn't exist' - it's a sort of 'time-out space' which it's possible to lock enemies inside of, or use as a safe place to retreat.
- Potential Generator: The ability for Logamon to generate energy through inaction is enhanced considerably in this form, as well as his ability to manipulate it. The process is sped up greatly, allowing for powerful bursts of energy to be unleashed more consistently - he can even generate said energy while moving as long as he doesn't concentrate on anything else.
- Inner Focus: As an extension of his ability to generate Potential Energy passively, his inner reserves perpetually grow while in this form, steadily boosting his durability over time. It starts as a non-existent boost, but as the fight continues, his energy grows greater and reduces damage further.
TECHNIQUES
- Scratch Ban (Space Ripper): Using his deadly claws to swipe furiously in a target's general vicinity. Obviously this can be damaging if it hits, but even as it misses it leaves tears in space that cut anybody and anything that passes through them.
Duration: 2 Posts
Cooldown: 1 Post- Loga Blast (Potential Generator): At this point Logamon passively generates enough potential energy even while doing things to release a small ball of energy that explodes violently on impact just about whenever he wants.
- Lock-Out Link (Offline Space): Logamon creates an offline space which he can use to trap an enemy outside of conventional space for a brief time. It's not a particularly durable space, so escaping it is typically more a matter of time than a test of strength. Alternatively, he can 'trap himself' in offline space to avoid an attack, but he's locked out of doing anything else on his next turn asides from popping out if he does so.
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 2 Posts- Scratch Zen (Space Ripper, Potential Generator): Channeling potential energy into his claws, he supercharges the space-rending properties for a single slash, leaving a dark rift in space. This rift moves forward at a slow and steady pace - and leaves a slash mark on anything it carves through, which explodes violently on the subsequent post.
Duration: 2 Posts
Cooldown: 3 Posts- Scratch Gate (Space Ripper, Offline Space): Logamon slices space in a small radius around him with his claws, creating a gateway into an offline space. This allows him to absorb an attack into an offline space, before dismissing the space, neutralizing the danger.
Cooldown: 2 Posts- Loga End (Inner Focus, Potential Generator): Requires reaching the highest degree of Inner Focus. Logamon converts his inner reserves into a single blast - exchanging the defensive properties of his Inner Focus into an equal and opposite boost of destructive force. This blast deals massive damage - but his Inner Focus is completely reset to 0.

Difference from Image: Just Swap the Crest on the Shoulderpads for the Crest of Resilience In Purple.
TRAITS
- Gabu Kendo: RoGabumon is suffused with data from feudal era japan. Much like the samurai of eld, he brandishes a blade to protect the weak. Eternally lacking a daimyō, this blade is not of steel - though his enemies would be forgiven for thinking it were.
- Hero's Back: RoGabumon draws power from the act of protection and defense. When standing between an ally and an enemy, he always faces his back to his friend, revealing a Crest of Resilience on his cape. His attacks become stronger in proportion to the weakness of those behind him compared to the strength of those before him. The opposite is true as well, his power sharply decreases if he turns his back to a strong opponent. His back is a weak point in his armor he tries to never show his enemies.
- Burning Spirit: RoGabumon thrives in conflict - his spirit burns with furious passion in the heat of battle. RoGabumon can create flames through his swordsmanship which grow hotter the more injured he is. They're not particularly impressive when he just gets started, but on his last legs, they could melt stone. For some reason it never so much as chars his wooden sword.
- Beast Scarf: RoGabumon's hooded scarf is imbued with a young beast's fighting spirit. While it may flow in the wind passively while it rests on his head and shoulders, it is quite sentient and capable of taking actions on it own. Particularly, it is capable of lashing out with its claws in tandem with his movements to make him that much harder to predict or surprise.
TECHNIQUES
- Ronin Blade (Gabu Kendo): A practiced swing of his wooden blade capable of carving through steel.
- Futile Error/Feudal Era (Hero's Back): By placing himself between a weaker ally and a stronger enemy, he declares that the enemy has made a grave mistake - and draws considerable power from the weakness of his friends. His next few attacks will surely be strong enough to bridge the gap in power.
Duration: 2 Posts
Cooldown: 3 Posts- Hitokiri/Manslayer/Heat Slash (Burning Spirit): RoGabumon's passionate fighting spirit ignites his blade afire, and he slings the flames as a sharpened wave of heat to slice through his enemies and scorch those he narrowly misses.
Cooldown: 2 Posts- Gabu Claw (Beast Scarf): Reeling his blade back and dashing towards a foe as though he's going to strike, he passes them by as his sentient scarf slashes them with its claws instead, typically taking enemies by surprise at least once.
- Rashomon Stance (Gabu Kendo, Hero's Back): With his back to allies in need of protection, he assumes an open, high stance poised to strike and concentrates all drawn power into the blade. Should any foe attempt a frontal assault or to fire a projectile at him, his blade will fall upon them like the Gateway to Hell cracking open, destroying the assault before it hits. In practical function, a slash that uses massive damage as a buffer against a frontal assault - the slash's damage is mutually reduced by the force of the attack it's used against and is then applied to the attacking enemy if they are hit.
Duration: 1 Post
Cooldown: 3 Posts- Beast Veil (Burning Spirit, Beast Scarf): RoGabumon transfers his burning spirit into his scarf, which creates a beast-like veil of flames around himself. While it's active, his beast scarf becomes his primary attack method and has its claws suffused with burning heat. However, while it's both offensive and defensive at once, it does cause self-damage while it's active. The flames intensify as they burn away at him, growing stronger each active post.
