Description Updates

^w^ Finally got around to updating Claires application sheet!! No she is not a new character; I’m just super negligent with things.

Edits:

-Changed her age to 17 as its been a year since she joined the RP group

-Changed her Digivice from an Ipod to a cell phone Final design still subject to change Tried to make it look futuristic but Iono if I like it per-say. Made the change after realizing the only reason her device was an Ipod was because I wanted one and was too cheap to buy one XD

-Refined her history

-Updated Magi’s In-Training form. ^v^

-Added Magi’s Champion form


-----------------------------------------------------------------
Name: Claire Slate

Age: Now 17

Gender: Female

Digivice: Cellphone

Digital Shard: Courage

Height: 5’4

Nationality: American

History: Claire has spent the majority of her life in a continual state of change. In 1999 Claire’s mom and dad went through a series of court cases ending in a nasty divorce, leaving her father Seth as her only legal guardian. From that point on her life became a nomadic one as they moved from state to state perusing work. Claire slowly became accustomed to being alone, and occupied the time writing letters to friends she made along the way. The ones that got sent never received any replies-her address never stayed current long enough for them to reach her.

At the age of 9 Claire and Seth arrived in New York City after her father found a promising lead. It was here that Seth met a Woman named Erika Lockette, and began spending more evenings at home. With her gentle care, Seth managed to secure a job at her digital firm, and Claire made herself a lifelong friend. With Erika in their lives both members prospered, Seth found stability and Claire found the company she had never had. Within months of their meeting, Seth and Erika were wed, and for the first time Claire knew the comforts of a stationary lifestyle.

By her 11th birthday Claire had numerous friends and a loving family to call her own. It was during this time that Erika bought Claire her first locket-a heart shaped lock and key. Overjoyed, Claire insisted Erika keep the key so that they could always be apart of each other. As Erika began to cry Claire surprised her with a strong embrace, and told her mom she loved her.
Erika smiled quietly, as it was the first time Claire had ever referred to her as such…

The years that followed proved to be painful ones. By age 12 things between Seth and Erika were falling into a state of ruin. Claire was finally beginning to see her father as the work-a-holic that he was, and Erika was losing hope of him ever changing. Amidst the troubles at home, Claire’s father received a prestigious job offer in Japan, one that promised to be hazardous but rewarding. After a lengthy discussion that led the couple nowhere Erika quietly gave Seth the choice between his work and his wife…

In the light morning sun, Claire’s father packed up their things and carried Claire out to the car before she awoke. Erika watched them from within the empty home, and cried as she heard Claires voice calling out for her as they sped away.

The arrival in Japan was a glorious one. By 13 Claire’s family status had evolved from well-off to wealthy. As Seth worked longer hours he began returning home simply to rest, and Claire found herself alone again within another empty home. She eventually took to wandering; boarding strange subways and trains without thought of finding her way back home. Desperate for attention, she eventually rang up a huge bill of transactions , pouring a large lump sum into a cutting edge cellphone. When she finally returned home Seth was not around to scold her, and she quickly discovered that he had opened a separate bank account in her name. It was padded with a ludicrous amount so that she would have adequate funds while he was away. Claire was too hurt to even cry.

By 14 Claire had adjusted to life as she knew it. The school kids saw her as spoiled and rotten, and a slew of cruel nicknames were created on her behalf. She spent her days wandering through Japan and frequenting ostentatious stores with ridiculous price tags. The attendants were always surprised when she passed them the money and continued on her way. By her 15th Birthday Claire had become an introspective vagabond, walking aimlessly and traveling great lengths by foot. Seth never called her, and her fancy phone remained ever unused.

When she turned 16, Seth forgot to come home for her Birthday, prompting Claire to run farther then she had ever gone before. By nightfall she was parched and exhausted, and as it began to rain she took shelter inside the Fuji tv. Station. Once inside, her phone produced a high pitched wail, and Claire instantly snatched it hoping it was an incoming call from her father. When she discovered it was not, she returned outside and pitched the phone into the bay.

As it sank beneath the waves, a single shaft of light shot out into the sky.
Startled, she hurried out to the bay, jumping across the rocks and searching for it in the breaking tide.
With a pressing urgency, Claire thrust her hand beneath the waves uncertain what if anything she would find. The sludge beneath gave way, and an object came gently free. Claire met the item with curious eyes, seven long spires like the peaks of the sun branched out from an egg-like base sporting a cracked center.
She felt a gentle pulse wailing deep within it, and jumped when her phone rang nearby.
Snatching it from the water, she cradled the strange item In her coat before boarding the last train home.

Present Day: Claire’s father took little notice of the homes newest members. Claire expressed a new love of hats whenever her father questioned Tyks, and readily bought that Magi is just a ‘bizarre plushie’ despite Claire’s obvious disinterest in dolls.
Her classmates were far less forgiving however, and the arrival of the Digimon quickly elevated her status from strange to outright bizarre.

Personality: Claire is an introvert by circumstance and not by choice. She loves people watching more than anything else, and privately longs to form lasting relationships with others. She can come across as abrasive and distant since she lacks some basic people skills; and she is not afraid to act first and ask later. Claire typically goes contrary to a group mentality, as she is used to fending on her own, and does not feel the need to explain herself to others. She has a confident smile but it masks a glass self-esteem. Although it is a private desire, she craves acceptance above all else.

Likes-
People watching
Traveling by foot/wandering.
She enjoys reading even when she has no say in the literature, like when Tyks is reading while riding atop her head.
Shopping. Claire is always shopping as a way to pass the time. She is fascinated by exotic, arcane, or bizarre things, and frequents little shops as their best (if not only) customer.
Listening to music, and walking in the grass barefoot.

Dislikes-
People expecting her to do things when they can do it themselves
Assumptions.
Trying to explain to people why her ‘hat’ is staring at them.
Trying to explain to people why her ‘cute little brother’ doesn’t have any arms.
Extremely quiet/rural areas.
Being Alone/indoors for extended periods of time.


Claire Facts & Traits:
Claire’s natural hair color is blonde. But she refuses to be a ‘mindless preppy’
Claire loves trinkets, jewelry and lockets especially.
Lockette is Erika’s maiden name. Claire adopted it as her middle name after the separation.
Claire has always been a target for teasing. Some of her most memorable nicknames include, Clairvoyant Claire, Clear the room Claire, and the infamous ‘The Claire Witch Project.’
Claire is not the hugging type. She will go rigid if you attempt to show her affection. (which is exactly why you should show her some)
Because of her history, Claire does not equate money to love. If you want to get close to her you have to give her your time.

Digimon Partner & his History: Magimon owes a great portion of his physical appearance to Wizardmon, who he mentally aspires to become. As an egg, he was carried around the Digital world on the crown of Wizardmons staff, observing the world as he found it, and marveling at the way he left it. During Myotismons dominion over Tokyo, Wizardmons staff was lost in Odaiba bay when he nearly drowned; meaning Magi and Tyks were left there until Claire eventually found them.
-----
Fresh Form: Skumimon (Sku’me’mon)
Attack: Headshot!
- Skumi feigns death-as he already looks like a severed head XD (it doesn’t typically work be he sure has a fun time hamming it up)
Attack: Putrid Puff
-Skumi emits a pungent odor that puts off would be attackers with the horrid smell of death and decay.

Personality: Skumi is extremely excitable and likes to get into things. Having no hands doesn’t seem to stop him from wanting to experience EVERYTHING, and he often ‘purrs’ when in Claire’s company.
-----
In-Training: Tykskullmon (Tike’skull’mon)
Attack: Astral Plane
-Oncoming attacks or objects phase through Tyskul and anyone in contact with him. This is useless as an offense but a wonderful defense as his opponent gains no ground. The only way to hit him is to distract him! (which… is remarkably easily done)

Personality: Tykskullmon is a strange mixture of Magi and Tyks core personalities. He is inquisitive, but also composed, and quiet, but also involved.
-----
Rookie: Magimon (ma’gee’mon)
Attack: Discard.
Magi and Tyks form a tagteam with a 24 card deck! Tyks focuses on defense while Magi focuses on attack (being the more excitable of the two). Magi hurls the cards like projectile weapons while Tyks creates large sheets of them to act as a barrier. Once all 24 cards have been destroyed they are defenseless ^_^’’

Personality: Magimon and Tyks exhibit distinct personalities in this stage.
Tyks: Tyks loves to read. So much in fact he often grabs nearby books while atop Claires head! The extra weight from the books typically leaves her blinded and off balance. If Tyks notices he doesn’t seem to mind since he’s too caught up in reporting his findings to her. While in public Claire has to constantly remind him to keep his eyes shut, as it’s unnerving for people to discover her HAT is staring at them. While he tries to be obedient, Claire can always tell when he is staring.
Fact: Most if not all of Claire’s cruel nicknames originated because of Tyks. Wearing a ‘witches hat’ everywhere year round tends to make a person appear, well strange.
Magi: Keeping an eye on Magi is a very daunting task. Possessing no natural fear of new places or people, he is constantly getting lost in his quest to meet new faces. Magi has a very childlike view of the world, assuming everyone is he friend, they simply don’t know it yet.
As a Team: While they naturally drive each other crazy the two still enjoy one another’s company and often grow anxious when apart. They enjoy a playing cards (which is what inspired their combo attack) and typically banter like brothers do. Tyks likes to profess knowing everything, while Magi is content to simply wait and learn for himself. Regardless, the two of them love to be in Claire’s company.
-----
Champion: Imagimon (Im'ah'gee'mon)
Attack: Mirror Match
Tyks captures all incoming attacks beneath his brim, and Imagi fires them back at their opponents from his staff. The attack is not amplified in any way, it merely redirects incoming projectiles back at the ones that fired them.
Attack:Rabid Ruse
Tyks plants himself on the head of smaller opponents and pretends to ‘Nom’ their brains out. Meanwhile Imagi sneaks up from behind and wacks them unconscious his staff.
-While it is absolutely ridiculous-It obviously works, or they would not continue to use it-

Personality: Imagimon is a much more composed and focused version of Magi. While he is still an excitable imp, he is far less likely to sprint off and get into trouble and prefers to have Tyks and Claire close at his side.

Overall, Imagimon still lacks any true magical prowess even in his Champion form. Despite the duo’s desire to emulate Wizardmon and his repertoire of skills, they continually come up short.
-----
Ultimate: LOCKED
Attack:

Mega: LOCKED
Attack:


Additional Info:
Although it is rare, Claire sometimes speaks about Erika. Both Magi and Tyks possess a strong desire to Digivolve into something with wings, so that they can reunite the duo someday…

Pritty much!
Magi was created for 3 basic reasons.
1. Wizardmons canon evolutions were...less then inspired. As exciting as it would be to have a Digital candle for a companion, they really could have been a bit more creative.
2. The Digital War group had strong restrictions regarding altering canon characters evolutions.
3. I've always wanted an opportunity to showcase my love of the character in a creative way that I could share with others.

I am glad to hear you like Claires design tho! She's nothing like my typical OC's so it's been fun to work with her as well.

Chameleon-Veil In reply to ShadowOfSolace [2012-12-05 03:49:43 +0000 UTC]

I dunno, I personally like Candlemon, both for his individual design and as a Rookie for Wizardmon. I think he's cute and that his design is pretty creative given what they were working with, and there's actually a little face on Wizardmon's pant leg that highly resembles the candle face of Candlemon! (As I recall, they say that Candlemon's flame is the true consciousness, and the candle body is more of a puppet of sorts). And as far as Wizardmon's other 'canon' evolutions go (assuming this was confirmed somewhere, since I don't think he was ever in any official materials?) Mystimon is also pretty cool; I'm guessing you're mainly talking about Candlemon as a lackluster rookie for your tastes, though, which I suppose is understandable.

To be perfectly honest, I DO like the rookie form's cloak, it's pretty cool and stuff, but everything else about the three visible stages being SO similar to Wizardmon makes me a little disappointed... Don't get me wrong or anything, I'm a Wizardmon fan myself (who isn't, right? ;3), but I think it'd be cool to see a little more creativity and variation between the different levels, you know what I mean? (If you think about it, VERY few Digimon actually have such a high level of resemblance to their lower stages.)

In any case, I'm actually eager to see those two final stages... Ultimate and Mega are where the amount of detail really ramps up in most evolution lines, and by the look of those silhouettes that's certainly true of yours as well. I hope I didn't come across as too rude or anything; variation between Digivolution stages is something I always try to challenge other artists about, because I think it's one of the things that really sets Digimon apart from Pokemon and other monster-based stuff. Good luck with your future projects and I hope I didn't offend you too badly with all this. =w=

Candlemon makes a decent random encounter-but as a partner I would be hard pressed to believe he is 'imposing' or 'adorable' or any of the other typical things that go into designing a tamers Digimon. I do agree the flame being the true form was a very nice touch, even as a kid I found that unique-but the fact still stands that he's not exactly memorable. As for Mystimon he has a neat design, but again I fail to see a vast connection between him and Wizardmon (aside from the fact they made him is canon form). I know Patamon is a prime example that Digimon don't have to look similar to their higher forms, but at least his 'holy type' color scheme remains the same. Wizardmon literally jumps from an animate object, to a doll, to a warrior wielding a sword. It just feels forced to me, it always has.

As for Magi's final stages, it's probably best you don't get your hopes up. My goal has always been to create a traceable string of evolutions (similar to Agumon or Guilmon) so aside from looking more BAMF with each stage there isn't any drastic abrupt or variations like what you've come to enjoy.
But don't feel bad about voicing your opinion. My art with Magi evolved from exactly that-my opinions-so you needn't apologize for holding a different view.

Chameleon-Veil In reply to ShadowOfSolace [2012-12-05 08:42:49 +0000 UTC]

K, I will agree with you that Candlemon is not as memorable as other Rookies, even the 'non-partner' ones like Elecmon (though in my mind, any Rookie can be a partner. ;w.

Mystimon is... magical... and from Witchelny? Maybe that's all you need.

Candlemon -> Wizardmon isn't... I wouldn't say forced, really... it's just more different than other, more easily-connectible lines. Like a lot of other evolution lines from the show, it's actually taken straight from the original V-pet where Wizardmon originated in the first place, where his line was I think Candlemon -> Wizardmon -> Pumpkinmon -> Boltmon. It might seem random to a lot of people, but I actually totally get that-- it's like the evolution of the spirit of Halloween. I would argue that the connections are more subtle, and more to do with theming than appearance, but they ARE there.

Still, the cool thing about Digimon is that the evolutions are highly variable, and there's plenty of room for new Digimon to step into older lines in a lot of cases, especially when fan-made Digimon are concerned... (Indeed, a lot of official Digimon originated form fans' designs!) So I suppose I can't begrudge artists their right to try to create new lines for the pre-existing guys. I get what you're saying and I totally respect your opinion too, and I'm glad that you respect mine. :3

Aww I've always liked Elecmons design as well. Even if he's a neon red electric rabbit lol.

I do wonder why they changed the 'Halloween' theme from his classic evolutions when they created the anime series. I guess they had a few more designers at that point perhaps.
Anyway, I'm still struggling with a name for his Ultimate form. As soon as I make up my mind I will post him.
He's definitely the one most modeled after Wizardmon, so I can assure you you won't much care for him. You may enjoy his Dark Digivolution tho~buuut he won't be released until a slightly later date due to slow RP skillz OTL

I've always loved Elecmon and actually planned on using him in my own Digimon fan-fic at one point. I really wanna do an all created team though. That's why I look on deviantart a lot. To get inspiration. Sometimes I'll even ask permission to use a digimon oc from here.

Who is Betamon? I feel I should know who it is because the name sounds familiar.

Bahahaha Claire especially.
I gotta say she's likely my most 'emo' character, background and everything.
But I was dead set and determined to make a character that did not fit my regular mold, so she's alot of traits I don't generally like in people.
That being said, Magi is the bridge between us.
I can't help but luv her through him its just cute~<3
