We offer a variety of boards across the forum, so you're sure to find a place to fit in somewhere.
More of the lurker type? I'm sure you'll find some good browsing material! But please don't be a stranger, head down to find the source of that incessant clicking: The C-box. You're sure to find someone to chat with there!
The Flux was built by a former RPG-community, so expect lots of activity there. However, after we moved on from our last site we decided to expand.
We have a helpful, dedicated staff, ready and willing to answer questions, or offer help with whatever you need, whenever you need it.

Okay. in order:
Backstory:
- 1996 saw the events of Our War Game with Diaboromon and Armageddemon assaulting the network and threatening nuclear winter in a net of mutually assured destruction. - A governmental cover-up saw that it was taken as a "training plan gone horribly wrong". Appropriate upgrades were made to NORAD and Japan's network defense systems. - Conspiracy theorists began to expose holes in the coverup weeks after it was in place. The idea of "Digital Monsters" took like wildfire, but decried as fictional; irrespective, the anime and card game were created. - In 2001, the D-Reaper crisis occurred in Shibuya. Slightly more difficult to cover up, when thwarted by a gang of children including Takato Matsuki, Rika Nonaka, and Henry Wong working in tandem with enigmatic Hypnos agent Mitsuo Yamaki, known as the creator of Juggernaut and Yuggoth. - To prevent this from ever occurring again, by 2002, Hypnos had been expanded into a worldwide digital security organisation, amassing funds and backing from the UN, EU, NATO, and other first-world independent governments. - It gained the level of funding that various governmental organisations have, and began to absorb parts of the NSA, MI5's digital intelligence divisions, SIGINT, and other operations pertaining to digital knowledge and security around the world. - Some time in 2002, Lucemon awakened, and the ability to harness ancient Digital Spirits became commonplace once more. Lucemon and Royal Knights pulled under his influence were soon felled. - Hypnos collected data from the survivors - Over time, bio-emergence rates have increased - In 2009, it was discovered that at certain "anchorage points" across the world, telltale signs of later digital crags have begun to form. The first and primary of these is Chicago, Illinois. It was then not known what effect these digital crags would have. - In 2012, the crag emerged completely, and its effect took hold. Bio-emergence rates multiplied twenty-fold in the state of Illinois; and in an event known as "The Cataclysm", a point of the Digital World actually bioemerged itself, parts of it becoming living around the Illinois, not so much changing the scenery but the environment, and bringing hundreds of thousands of wild Digimon with it. - The state of Illinois and the city of Chicago were placed under strict Hypnos quarantine with none allowed to leave. Presenting an external debate for the rest of the world, Chicago itself has now become chaos, with its residents and foremost scientific experts forming into three main parties.
The Parties:
- THE LOYALISTS: The Loyalists are the xenophobic masses which represent a large monopoly of Illinois' population and dominate the city of Chicago. Six months ago, after the Cataclysm, the Loyalists began banding together and expressing their hate and distaste for Digimon: perhaps humans aren't the only form of native life out here, but we don't want Digimon around. In organised groups and bolstered pseudo-military governments they have begun shooting Digimon on sight and arresting or shooting those who would ally with them. Around 60% of Illinois' population side with the Loyalists, and they maintain regular state broadcasts, under full control. Their goal is to kill all Digimon and eliminate the quarantine, or find some way to reverse the bioemergence. - THE PIONEERS: The Pioneers are a sly and manipulative bunch who, since they created them, believe Digimon do have a purpose, but, that, alas, they are little more than a means to an end. That end is furthering the scientific advancement of mankind - to do so? Figure out a way to dominate, manipulate, and, to some extreme, weaponise Digimon. It'll be the newest arms race - the newest house pets or servants, all controllable from the comfort of your iPad or whatever equivalent tablet you might have. And it'll be the most lucrative invention since cocaine entered the market. Around 35% of Illinois' population side with the Pioneers. They control a few minor territories and have a much smaller monopoly, warring in groups as a guerrilla militia of sorts against the Loyalists. They are also supported by Hypnos. Their goal is to figure out a universal way to manipulate all Digimon into obedience and to use them to eliminate the Loyalists. - THE SYNTHESISTS: The Synthesists are going to encompass the main body of our group, and our party will likely all have Synthesist leanings. The Synthesists are the underdog; they believe that Digimon hold the key to a number of ancient lost secrets and knowledge, if allowed to live harmoniously with us. Due to the prejudice Synthesists receive, they operate mostly via stealth and small targeted attacks, but a lot of them have, over the past six months, learnt rapidly through Digimon and human coexistence how to become Tamers. Only a chosen few have received Digivices as catalysts for digivolution and data assimilation (maybe 5% of the actual Synthesist population) - others just fight alongside their partners independently. There is a degree of Synthesist and Pioneer allegiance; but there are no doubts it's shaky. Around 5% of Illinois' population side with the Synthesists. They mainly remain silent about it in small reconnaissance or sleeper cells - there is one underground cavern network which is the Synthesist base. Their goal is to figure out a way to prove to the state of Illinois and the outside world that Digimon are friendly and can be easily brought into coexistence.
Digivolution: - Digivolution will in this RP, be treated as a natural process. It's common for most Digimon to reach Champion after Rookie as adolescence as a natural adulthood. Some exalted and experienced veteran warriors even reach Ultimate; but reaching Mega or beyond is utterly unheard of. - The difference, of course, is if you have a Digivice. Digivices naturally bond through the essences of the Digital World to certain drawn-together partners and individuals known as "Tamers". Digivices are natural catalysts for Digivolution which allow partnered Digimon to absorb data and Digivolve from stage to stage over a matter of weeks. - Hypnos and the Pioneers are in the process of prototyping what is known as a Biolink Digivice. This is a small piece of juryrigged hardware which allows a human individual to bond with a subdued or befriended Digimon and performs the same function as a Digivice, albeit straining a Digimon's code massively. With each consecutive Digivolution there is a greater and greater chance for a Digimon to "corrupt", resulting either in an "access error", which is a very messy and visceral implosion of the Digimon's base code, killing them, or, in some rare cases, Dark Digivolution, which causes them to become uncontrollable. The latter is more likely if the "partner" Digimon was mistreated and subjugated as opposed to befriended.
Digimon/Digivolution Facts: - Bioemerged Digimon are flesh. This means they bleed. And they die. They, in the real world, release data upon death, which is ejected as a small cloud of protein-based particulates - the same material that the Digital fields - a pseudo-protein shell - are used to stabilise bioemergence in the first place.
Character Types: - Synthesists: The Synthesists, our main parties, maintain a jury-rigged firmware function to be able to use - albeit in a rather brutal way - the data of any felled Digimon in the field. If you destroy a swordsman; you may be able to access their blade. Most assimilation functions DO come from within; it's not just a flash of light and it appears like some magical equipment add-on. Imagine Omnimon's blade wolverining out of your hands. Shit will hurt. - Pioneers: The Pioneers have begun developing a prototyped "Biolink" which performs the same function as the Digivice, bar the data assimilation. This provides you with two Digivolution lines; regular and Dark, though you have no access to Mode Change and need to understand that after a set amount of Digivolutions, you will experience either Digimon death, extremely painful for both harmonised parties - in which case you find another and relink - or Dark Digivolution, accessing your second, corrupt line. - Hypnos :: Black Ops: The Black Ops Hypnos teams are teams which have been sent through "the Dive" - the term for the only known prototype portal to some of the harshest realms of the existing Digital World to exist in mainland Shibuya - and have survived as an anti-Digimon elite unit. These people have had their wills and souls tempered by a thirty-day onslaught of only mass terror and hatred; few come back alive from the Dive. Those that do experience a sort of spiritual harmonising with the Digital World itself, allowing them to give themselves specialised protein injections which can increase a number of base physical attributes. Hypnos Black Ops teams are usually heavily equipped with prototyped weaponry and elite training making them a formidable force to be reckoned with. - Hypnos :: Spirit Ops: The Spirit Ops Hypnos teams are a series of suits - including original draft operatives Takato Matsuki, Henry Wong, Rika Nonaka and Ryo Akiyama amongst others - who have located the ancient spirit totems - along with synthesising a few of their own - and are sent in as digital clean-up crews, able to access their Digital Forms. Original protagonists from the "Tamers" series have their Digimon frozen in tanks on the Hypnos Illinois ground base and can Biomerge with them seemingly at will, meaning they're not typical Spirit Ops, and have their own methodologies. - Loyalists: The Loyalists have a large amount of funding and support from within and outside Chicago. Whilst they have no Digimon whatsoever, they are badass normals with superior weaponry and defensive advantages.

I think I can give this a shot.
That is, of course, so long as I can have Rika. :D...
I'll make a female tamer for the Synthesis group, too.
