[X] Respond to Gramps that you'll come along, you're a bit concerned that Gnaw might not come back to the village after this considering his previous words and current attitude. .
Yeah, being able to say our final good byes to the Gnaw is well worth the risk.
Plus, more fights more xp and loot so a win win.

Lore Entry: Techniques
drexal15
Proud GM
Every species of digimon (barring a few colour palette swaps sometimes) in the digital world have their own special brand of techniques. Moves they instinctively know and can use when the situation calls for it. These techniques have a wide variety of effects be it physical, elemental or even more esteoric things such as opening a gate to a separate dimension.
When a digimon evolves to a different form, they still retain knowledge of their previous abilities, though often time they either lose the ability to perform them (such as Holy Angemon to Seraphimon) or end up with new abilities that completely overshadow their old ones (In the case of Agumon evolving to Greymon)
In some cases where techniques are based mainly on equipment it is possible for certain digimon to regain their use of old moves via acquiring the proper tools.
For many digimon it is wholly possible to learn the techniques of other digimon provided they have the means to actually carry it out. Most any mon with arms can learn the move *Mach Punch* but only digital monsters with the ability to breathe fire would be able to learn *Pepper Breath* Learning other physical techniques tends to be the easiest providing the mon in question has the right body for it.
In the purely theoretical terms is it sometimes possible for a digimon to learn techniques from a digimon above their level, though this tends to be rare considering the difficulty, energy drain and requirements to actually use it.
Generally speaking, most digimon will stick with what comes natural to them, but on occasion it can be very useful to surprise and confuse foes. Few mon would ever expect a Lilymon to just go ahead and punch them in the face.
Any Questions?

Magic/High Programming Code?

That technically falls into a different category as it's own planned bit'O lore. Wizardmon and the various magic using lines all use High Programming to some capacity and their base abilities are a sort of short cut, natural spells tied to their forms.
Quite a lot can be done with enough 1's and 0's, though the main problem is that memorizing and learning to recite it properly can take a while.
Ahh, that's the bit I was curious about. How it connects with the above infodump.

[X] Tell Gramps you'll see this through to the end. You'd never be able to forgive yourself if you gave in to fear and hid like a coward right at the end of things.
QM approved write-in.
My reasoning is thus.
Most of the standard options relate to specific fears of Verge's.
The only one that doesn't follow this trend is the "Win so everything can go back to normal" option, which... is just setting him up for disappointment when things don't go back to the way they were since who knows when Auger is going to evolve (or even evolve the same way) and Gnaw is almost certainly gonna leave. Which he is clearly aware of as one of the options shows.
But at the same time he has made an Oath not to let fear overcome him no? So wouldn't a "I won't forgive myself for chickening out" be a valid option that also furthers not only that goal, but his own development?
This gives him a reason to fight that isn't centered around others but is more healthy in my opinion.
Thoughts?

- I'm afraid of missing Flamemon's big moment, better go with
- I'm afraid of never seeing Gnaw again, better go with
- I'm afraid of weighing the others down, better stay home

Since it's GM Approved. I'd consider voting for this. Was leaning towards a 'for Gramps/Flamemon', but former seems to have an slightly bigger death flag than the latter, really.
That said, doing it for the sake of our own goals or interests, can in a way lead a long way to become the actual Simon of digimon. But at the same time, doing it for someone else can lead to an easy 'available' berserk trigger, if one of them get's injured or worse. So there's that to consider as well.
And hey, if asking for the death flag is an option there; then chances are we'd at least learn about why. Then again, staying (at fear of cowardice) could also be a good idea. Especially if it's more a case of 'someone has to stay behind, to make sure everyone's safe.'
[X] Inform Gramps that you'll stand guard at the village, while they deal with the Goblinmon threat. You hate being useless, hate having to stay behind, and hate the thought of being a coward while Gramps and Flamemon risk their lives. But someone has to stay behind to protect everyone else, and if you can dig more trenches and at least be their guardian that can protect, all the better.
in the end this might be the best decision if you're not gong to drag everyone else down. And in some ways, the fear of other's getting attacked if we go all in, could perhaps be another form of Coruage.
Not the courage that'd lead to us attacking Ogremon's, but the courage to at least think to ourselves; "Protect that we treasure the most". Hindsight, I'd consider voting for this option now.
EDIT: In case I ain't clear. I'm voting for the 'stay behind' option. Not because of 'just Courage' or anything. But the brutal logic that there has to at least be someone to protect everyone else while the Champs are away.

What an idiot tsundere disaster. I love it.

I am physically unable to avoid undermining Gnaw's edgy loner routine at every moment. I love this shitty puppy. I solemnly swear to never stop not stopping.
So I was doing some thinking on potential forms Verge could evolve into after Champion. In particular, I was thinking about a certain species that has no official level but is probably a Mega.
The species in question is deeply tied to one of Verge's potential Champion forms, but both it and that Champion form are oddballs who aren't tied to any other evolutionary lines, so its tricky to think about what might come between them. I think I found a good answer though.
Anyone think this is viable or want to try it? Got any better answers to what Ultimate could fit in that path?

The probably-a-Mega Digimon I'm referring to is JaegerDorulumon.
If you remember from an earlier post, the following are Verge's evolution requirements to get Dorulumon as his Champion form.
I think one possibility is WereGarurumon.
This means that our evolutionary path would be Drill Mole -> Drill Wolf -> Wolfman -> Drill Wolfman.
If we manage to achieve the Dorulumon form, it shouldn't be too difficult to meet the stat requirements for WereGarurumon, since its so much more common of a form. WereGarurumon's minimum stat requirements probably look something like this.
Stats
Strength: High
Fortitude: High
Endurance: Medium/Low
Speed: Medium
As for why JaegerDorulumon would be such a rare form if it can evolve from such a common (by Ultimate standards) Digimon, I'm guessing that there's an additional evolution requirement besides stats and personality for going from WereGarurumon to JaegerDorulumon, one that we could theoretically achieve but most WereGarurumon would not be capable of.
My theory is that as a WereGarurumon, we would need to learn how to harness the traits of our previous forms to amplify the power of our punches by making the spikes on our knuckles spin like drills as we punch.

JaegerDorulumon probably requires having a similar stat distribution to this as an Ultimate, but what Ultimate could fit between those?

Nah, I don't like this. It's the usual milquetoast write-in that SV voters create for a character's motivation. It doesn't feel like a real evolution of Verge's character - it feels like minmaxing, to speed through character development as fast as possible.

Hey guys... I made a thing
I have enjoyed Protags with a rage mode ever since I played Jak 2 way back when.
-Edit-
Here are some other things, if anyone's interested.

But won't Sorcerymon being in the village protecting it?
The start of this update shows he's willing to throw down if needs be.
Fair enough.
I just felt like the Oath deserved its own option since "go back to digging" got one.

@Knight-Radiant awesome pics man! That's worth a couple stat point. Will totally put a certain one of those on the character sheet when I get the chance. Also, good write in.
@justinkal nicely done on the speculation. If Verge reaches said champion form that will potentially be available as an Ultimate option. Also worthy of a point.
@Master Basher
Good write in and speculation as well.

If you do use JaegerDorulumon as a Mega form rather than an Ultimate one, are you going to expand its moveset or abilities? The listed ones are rather barebones and more fitting for an Ultimate at the moment.
I guess I'll stick it into Agility since that's so much lower than everything else.
Its a digimon that has only ever appeared in a manga. Digimon in that situation pretty much always have barely any information about them available.

Okay so, I've been doing some thinking and counting. It has come to my attention that out of all the bonus points Verge has gained an inordinate percentage of them have gone to agility. More so than any other two stats combined.
Because of that I have come up with two Addendums to mitigate and help prevent this in the future.
Agility is now currently under the penalty of Addendum #2.
