Erm, I have an idea for an RP but I wanted to see people's reactions as it tends to go against the theme of the site. That is to say, sacrificing character and plot development in favour of... well... the words "Wouldn't it be cool if?". That's not to say there wouldn't be development, I'm just saying that it wouldn't matter too much if things got a bit... mental. The title of this post gives somewhat of an idea of what I'm talking about, Gurren Lagann has just ever increasing sizes of mecha, for the hell of it. This somewhat fits into the theme of digimon, just when you thing they've reached maximum level (Ultimate does kinda infer maximum level) they go and introduce another but what I want to do is go far beyond levels and things like that just have a sort of "what if?" storyline. I'm not talking about digivolving beyond max level, I'm talking about making the digimon 300 feet tall, in rookie form. I'm talking about giving everyone giant robots, for the hell of it. I'm talking about giving the characters a 'what if' machine from Futurama and watching the wacky ideas take form. Of course this probably wouldn't happen in the Digital World so I'll provide the venue from something I started back on the old site. Of course I'll only do this if people are up for it, I know a lot of people have a lot of RPs to keep track of already and this ain't exactly normal digimon stuff, that and I'd hate to upset the IdolGods with my blasphemy! |

So is the philosophy you are trying to employ by this “What if?” scenario that of a “Bigger Can Be Better” reasoning? While I am open to plenty of ideas, the thought of giant digimon for the hell of it does not seem so far-fetched when compared to most things. Of course, as open to the idea as I am the image of a giant Zashiwaramon (Onmyojimon and the rest of her forms would probably work) is not that appealing. Before I get too far ahead of myself, could you explain a little more into the idea? |

I suppose I was intentionally vague, mostly because I didn't want to put too much forwards, also because the idea only just came to me and I'm not sure how exactly to roll with it Well on the old site I started an RP based on creatures that came from outside the digital world that had been turned into digimon when they were defeated. I'm proposing an expedition into their world of origin. The world is called Analogue. I know original right? Anyway that world isn't really bound by the same constraints as the digital world and so I wanted to make the most of it. For one thing there aren't levels of digivolution, more a fluid transition from weak to strong. That's not that important, what is important is that that world is splintering and forming new worlds meaning practically anything can happen there. Consequently it allows bizarre things to just randomly happen. I'm aiming for a blend of spiral energy from Gurren Lagann and an improbability drive from H2G2. Almost like a gag-a-week comic but a bit deeper and an actual storyline behind it (and probably taking a lot longer than a week). Hmm now I don't know if I'm being vague or not really. Erm well there's a couple of examples in the first post of what it could entail but generally it could be anything. |

I see, it definitely sounds interesting now that it isn't so cryptic. I have only seen bits and pieces of Gurren Lagann, but I suppose it shouldn't matter... Anyway, the concept definitely seems plausible when viewed with a certain logic. I was also under the impression that there was a Digital World and an Analog World, but until now I was distinctly sure that the so-called Human World/Real World was actually the Analog World. May I make a suggestion? Based on the assumption that Humans live in the very consequential Analog World and Digimon live in the rather inconsequential Digital World, it might make more sense to view this world of chaos and spontaneous action as somewhat of a Transitional World between Digital and Analog. By reasoning, this could create an unstable world with lifeforms capable of a sort of “hyper evolution.” I do not know if any of that made sense, but for all intents and purposes it would certainly fit the bill of the randomness of improbability with the possibility of an incredible plot. |

No, no, we already have Hyperfied Digivolution in DW. In all seriousness, even if this idea wasn't used for an RP, it could always be the theme for a round in the proposed Tournament. But with all the references around recently, I honestly saw this and thought of Power Rangers rather than Gurren Lagaan (though it may also be that I've never seen the anime in question). XD |

My reasoning behind the hyper evolution concept is not a type of digivolution, but more like the border between standard evolution and digital evolution. How to describe it...? Okay, here it goes. Evolution in the Analog World (Real World) is incredibly slow, correct? It relies on either a number of small, gradual changes or quick, drastic changes caused by extreme circumstances. Overall, however, it still takes unbearably long periods of time to become noticeable. Digivolution (i.e. Digital Evolution) is instant, meaning that the transition from one evolutionary stage to another (ex. Rookie to Champion) happens almost immediately. The so-called “hyper evolution” I mentioned is like ultra-rapid changes over a very short time with no fixed forms (like biological evolution but unlike digital evolution). To make this more clear, imagine a very plain organism (like a bunny) that goes through said process to adapt to hostile life in my proposed Transitional World. What one day started off as a happy little bunny will quickly (an quite visibly) morph into something completely different from what it once was. To sum up... One can see biological evolution, but it happens so slowly it fails to register until sometime later. No one can technically see digital evolution because it happens instantly but you can immediately see its effects (one second cute, the next second badass). And “hyper evolution” occurs right before your eyes and allows you to see the end result. Think G-Virus and you are all set... Sorry if none of that made any logical sense. |

Warning the following post contains massive amounts of nerdage! A) Digimon don't really evolve in the true meaning of the word, they transform. Evolution is something that happens to species, individuals don't evolve. Instead, technically Digimon are more akin to the transformations of say a butterfly. B) The use of Ultimate for the second highest form is a translation error. Originally Mega was Ultimate, Ultimate was Perfect, Champion was Adult, Rookie was Child, In-Training was Baby II and Fresh was Baby I. Now that that is out of my system you may continue discussing things that actually matter. |

Metamorphosis or not, it is still considered a form of evolution. But like I said, it is digital evolution and not biological evolution. When a program gets updated, are there any in-betweens (other than the update name i.e. 9.0.2 to 9.0.3)? Trying to get back to topic, I really think something along these lines would make for an interesting story. Sure, one could bunk it down to be more in line with the DCD rules but the point still stands. |
