Oh god! I just realised that with Samara, we have yet another Sam. XO I can change it if you think it would be too confusing. Though, she won't be called Sam or Sammy. She'll only be Samara, and will get agrivated if anyone tries to call her anything different.
Oh, yeah, and I'm sorry if my last post was kind of lackluster. I didn't really want to get crazy with it since it was just to walk up to Wes and Kathy again, and as soon as I sent it I had to leave to go out to eat for my grandmother's birthday dinner. Hopefully I'll have more time next time to make up for it, but until then I'll wait for Wes' side of the conversation to post so I can have some more things to work with.
Though, I have to admit that I really did enjoy Kathy's rant. That made me laugh so hard XD
/this is why I stick with Japanese names :|b (not really)
According to "Behind the Name" Akemi comes from 明 "ake" ("bright") and 美 "mi" ("beautiful") while Akira comes from 昭 "aki" ("bright"), 明 "aki" ("bright"), and 亮 "ra" ("clear"). Of course I'm using the second Kanji for Akira's name so they both have the same Kanji in their names :P /though Idk if that "bright" means intelligent or lit up
Name:Zachary Cooper Nickname:Zach Age:16 Gender: Male Appearance: If you took a look at Zach you might think, "He looks like someone I could hangout with." It's not that he's necessarily cool looking. He just appears very approachable. People don't think that they'll get made fun of, or ignored because he looks like he just got out of bed and slapped on some comfortable clothing. And that is exactly correct.
He wears his black hair back because it would otherwise just get in his face, which it occasionally happens to do. His hair is straight, extremely thick, and generally uncombed. He has a fairly gaunt face and tanned skin (as far as Caucasian goes at least) from frequent exposure to the sun. He isn't really muscular; he's just active enough to do tasks that he might need to do. His eyes are a dull blue and don't have that welcoming vibe that the rest of him gives off, they are piercing though the instant he smiles it warms the cold blue right up. He doesn't really stand out in a crowd if you're looking for height. In fact if he was told to line up from shortest to tallest with about twenty other students his age, he would be in the cluster of kids in the middle who can't seem to figure out which one of them is tallest.
He almost always wears a golden-brown Baja hoodie, combined with sandals or flip-flops, as well as cargo shorts or Bermuda shorts. He also might just wear a t-shirt or jeans instead of the aforementioned things.
Personality: He is just a really relaxed guy who you can hang with and just have fun. He doesn't really care all that much about appearance, not unless there's a formal event to show up to. He just really goes with the flow. He doesn't slack off in school but he doesn't study all that much. If he has homework he does it, if he's needs to spend extra time on schoolwork he will but he doesn't go over board. If he had a motto it would be something along the lines of "Just enough to get by." Though he has his own strong moral principles, he won't go against it if someone is doing something that doesn't agree with his morals.
He laughs at a lot of stuff but he doesn't crack his own jokes too often. He is also very sociable and if he was asked, "Hey, do you know …?" the answer would more likely than not be yes. He likes to spend most of his time listening to or playing music. He doesn't really become thoroughly determined unless he is spurred to do something by negative enforcement. History: He has two, un-seperated parents, and is an only child. He was however orphaned and these are his adopted parents but this was very early in his life. He has an extreme interest in philosophy and music. He believe it or not likes to spend time thinking, however he doesn't think about things that most teens think of, instead he thinks, about what's outside of this world. It seems pretty stupid but he knows that. He used to play a lot of video games but he started to think it was a waste of his time.
He is on bad terms with his parents because they are both successful business people, yet he often times is talking about corporate greed and wants nothing to do with the business world. He really has always had very little structure in his life and has just down whatever he feels needs to happen.
Digivice Colors:MainButtons Synchro Light:Sorry for the brightness
Digimon: Kudamon Gender: Male Image:
Personality: Kudamon tends to be a lot more responsible than Zach, whenever he is off task, Kudamon will try to put him back on the right track.

They are both very relaxed though, except if there is an important task to be done, Kudamon is on it instantly. Attacks: Bullet Whirlwind:Spins around in the air and slams into the enemy with its Holy Cartridge. Extreme Light Shock:Flashes bright light which radiates from its earring.

Day 2
Beep
Jean awoke from the watch's noise. He read his new challenge on the screen:
"Head south to the giant lake. There you will find Harbinger Scuba gear, your task will be to find a gold coin. You will have to fight through some water pokemon underwater. Your watch will temporarily act as a beacon. The challenge will be won once the coin is found and you are safely out of the water."
He clicked the green button on the side, accepting the challenge. "How am I supposed to know where the lake is?" He no longer had Kramer the Houndoom at his side, he had gone to finish a challenge yesterday and hadn't yet come back. If he were there he would have been able to find a water source with his sharp nose.
Jean set off down the volcano, you can't find water there. From the base of it, he headed where he assumed was south. How quickly the terrain changed from the volcano to the lush green grass he was standing on now. There was a forest off to his right, the same one that Kramer was probably in now.
Jean started to walk. His wound's pain wasn't quite as bad as he thought. It was probably because a baby houndoor had given it to him. Onward he went hoping, with much doubt, that he was headed towards the lake.
After minutes of hiking, he finally reached a large water source. His watch vibrated, confirming he was near the coin. He got down to his under layers and began to wade into the lake. It was cool and there were rocks in the soft ground in the water. His feet sank into the murky water. He was never a particularly strong swimmer, he always swam with his water Pokémon for support. He would do the same now, he shuffled through the contents of his bag and released Star and Sid his water Pokémon. They immediately went into the water.
"Let's start. Star I'm going to hold on to your back and guide you where to go. Sid you watch out for wild Pokémon." Sid just blew a few bubbles out of his mouth, they said, I'll do what I want. But Jean had faith that Sid would help enough.
Just as they were about to go down. "Scuba Gear!" He rushed over to a bank where he spotted flippers, a mask, a wetsuit and an oxygen tank. "Perfect." He put on the gear and set off.
The water was dark, you could see only a few feet ahead of you. He occasionally thought he saw a Pokémon but it would just be a clump of seaweed. He was guided by his watch further and further into the depths. He saw a glint of light and indicated for Star to dive deeper. He arrived and it was only a Lanturn. It attacked, Jean shielded himself by curling into a ball. Nothing happened. He opened his eyes and saw that it was knocked out by Sid. Jean would say good job, but all that would come out was bubbles.
Further they went, it got colder as they dove deeper, and he had a limit to his time. He would guess that twenty minutes had already passed, he shrugged it off however that he would lose this challenge. His cut hand was starting to sting and leak blood. Wait, it was leaking blood! This alarmed Jean, he knew that blood attracted Sharpeedos and Carvanahs, he would have to hurry up.
His worst fears were confirmed just as his watch started to vibrate some more. He was really close. From behind him a pack of Carvanahs was speeding towards him following his trail of blood. Jean turned, he heard them. The Carvanahs were closer his Pokémon both attacked, it took out a fair amount between their hydro-pumps.
"AHHH" bubbles came out of Jean's scuba mask. He was bitten by a Carvanah in the foot. It was quickly taken off by Sid. This bite was much deeper than the one he had received yesterday. Blood began pouring out instantly, it formed pillows of what looked like red smoke. Jean's Pokémon were stronger than them though. They over powered the Carvanah with barely a scratch.
They moved on, now Jean's watch was vibrating violently, he was near. Star went towards a gold glint in a patch of seaweed at the bottom. They were very close, Jean was sure they were going to get it easily now. His confidence would be quickly shot down when a Gyrados darted out of the seaweed. Jean was frightened, in fact he was trembling with fear Star and Sid both attacked, it hardly did anything. It encroached on Jean, he dodged out of the way barely. The gyrados zoomed past with open jaws. He swam towards the gold coin swiftly, unfortunately his right flipper was torn from the carvanah bit that was now burning with pain.
He went closer and closer. He was an arm's length away, his watch seemed like it was about to explode. He grabbed the coin! He got it! He was done. But in his moment of glory he found the gyrados to be right behind him, it hit him in the back and he was sent flying forward. He started to slip from consciousness everything went black, but he still had the coin firmly grasped.
He awoke on a desert bank right next to the lake, his watch beeped, 'Challenge Complete'. He saw Star and Sid swimming in the lake in front of him. They noticed he was awake. They looked overjoyed, but injured as well. He wasn't where he started, he was on the other side of the lake, IN A DESERT!
"Uh-Oh." He started to panic. The heat was sweltering. "Guys?" Jean said "we need to get back to the other side" His Pokémon nodded that they knew that already. Star signaled for Jean to get on her back. Jean refused. "No, you two are injured," He pulled out his pokeballs and returned them. He couldn't walk on his injured foot, and he had no Pokémon to use.
He waited in the heat. Grasping tight his coin, he would keep it as a reminder to never get careless again.
Dusk eventually came and the dessert became suddenly freezing, he lie down and tried to make himself warm. He was now buried in the warm sand but still very cold. He needed help.
"I really suck at life." He said just before he went to sleep.
I hope nobody minds if I just post right now. / shiftyeyes
@Roswell: Those kanji for "aki" mean bright as in luminous, though I suppose the second kanji you quoted (明) does do double duty sometimes, and sort of implies intelligence (iirc). I am by no means an expert on kanji, though, so I might be horrifically wrong (aww yuss)!
As I mentioned earlier, I'm going to be away for three or so days. I'll see you people when I get back - feel free to ... sort of bunny ... my character in the fashion that I have described and or showcased in my (soon-to-be) first post.
Edit: unfortunately I won't be able to finish the post =_=... I'll catch up on stuff after I get back. Have fun, everyone!
There's no way I could portray Luna's full character until after she is summoned. I have an assortment of things already lined up to be RP'd, and I think you guys will enjoy her ditzy behavior. If not oh well it's staying ;p
Last night I downloaded a DS Emulator and Digimon World DS ROM. I'm playing as Sam, and Ima hunt down a Hawkmon/Poromon/whatever. It's fun so far ^.^ I remember more about Digimon than I had thought.
Well, um, I guess I'll post later. Just have Sam ignore you all, go to class and be ready for the Digimon to emerge.
I wonder how one can tell how much their pet has "evolved"? 'Cause for my next post (which'll have to wait) I'll be giving Akemi (that is, not-quite-yet-Renamon) a voice. If that's all right :X
