Helmsbuck has hatched! This Data type digital creature forms armour from trace metal data in the environment. They coat their little bodies with it, and have a bad habit of overestimating their own durability. They have justice-filled hearts, and aspire to fight evil. Unfortunately, they're Data types, and not well-suited to slaying Virus-type digiforms.

And as with all newborns, Helmsbuck is Hungry and requires immediate feeding! Just check in with an acknowledgement to feed it.

Hope you enjoy your little friend. I'll finish the Guitar one before coming up with activities.

This egg has musical data and waveforms within it. However, a mistake has been made in the formation of its egg. Such a process is the most common way of Viral creatures forming. In this case, the uploading of the image as a .jpg has corrupted the incubating creature.

Strumling has hatched! Fortunately, despite being a Viral type and having an incompatible egg format, the theme was coherent and clear enough to bring it back into solidity.

These Viral creatures thrash about by riversides, making loud noises that scare away prospective predators. They wear their emotions on their sleeve, and the waveform atop their head is constantly fluctuating with their mood.

Strumling is Hungry! Same deal, lemme know what he'll be fed regularly.

Out of the egg hatches Strathawk! This species favours cliffs. They're very poor fliers, and strive to take to the skies once they grow up. Their bladed wings are shaped like an aerofoil. These excitable creatures grab anything they find and use them to bomb prey. Sometimes, they even end up snatching eggs from nests and dropping them by accident.

As usual, the baby is Hungry.

Due to the disruption of the Digital lifeform's birth-term, the less obvious definition of it has been chosen, rather than the affinity with Wind that might have spawned prior.

It results in Clocktick! This creature has a hole in its abdomen, that a brass key fits into. It has to constantly turn this key to remain in motion, and if it loses it, it flies into a panic.

As a Vaccine-type entity, it consumes Viral data and keeps Data organisms safe. The feelers on its head slowly rotate along with the turning of its key, and when it makes a complete round, it marks that it's ready to evolve.

You know the drill, check in to feed the baby. It's hungry.

While Virus types (such as Strumling) tend to be wild and aggressive, Doracle is calm and composed. One could almost call it noble. It's said that when its fringe falls over its eye, it can see several minutes into the future, and read the destiny of those around it. It can keep calm in a battle, since it's able to predict when it's about to win. On the other hand, however, it flies into a panic if it sees that it's going to lose, and gets sloppy in its blind attempt to fix it.

Speaking of which, the hungry creature reads the future and sees that it's going to be fed. Right? Right?

And just a little update on everybody's creatures! Yeah I just stole this background directly from a Digimon game instead of spriting it.

The little fella is appreciative of the headpat. Watch the horn when petting, though! Chicken seems like just the thing for a meat-eater. It seems like the food has gone right through it, though. Soon enough, it makes a mess!

>>4981528
A diet of grass seems decent enough for a herbivorous creature. As the oldest creature, Helmsbuck is starting to exercise on its own, and is leaping around the ranch. While punching and kicking, it ends up smashing a bush. The creature looks guilty after the accidental feat of strength.

>>4981611
Perfect! The little fella slurps up the digital fish, breaking them apart into unstable fragments. However, its waste from earlier >>4981635 hasn't been cleaned up after a short period. It's still well within an acceptable range to leave it be, and it won't count as neglect for a while longer. However, that time has been enough for the creature to start... playing with it. It's making a huge mess, mucking up the water and smearing it across the ground. Letting this continue might spark a behavioural issue, but being too harsh in scolding it might send a bad message as well. It's up to you to find a middle ground.
>Reprimand
>Nothing
>Encourage (Why would you-)
>Other (Write-In)

>>4981637
At first, the aggressive Strumling is hesitant to eat pasta. It ends up enjoying the taste, though! As a naturally harsh creature, this diet might help temper its aggression.

And speaking of aggression, it's currently blaring its chords and vocalizing in the water. This is natural behaviour, but is a bit of a bother to the other creatures and owners.
>Attempt to curb it

>>4981690
Clockwork components are integrated directly into it, allowing it to repair wear and tear from within. After eating, however, it leaves piles of scrap rust around, that are jagged, hazardous, and crackling with trace viral data.

Clocktick and Doracle have Pooped and require cleaning.

Clean up that poop before...

>>4981737
..whoops, too late. I give it a gentle scolding for playing with it's own mess, then clean up the poop from Ikado's habitat, then clean Ikado itself.

If I can, I will give it a more interesting toy to play with (a ball? a leaf? really, anything...) and stay with Ikado until the next time in needs to poop... and then see if I can train it in a litterbox, or even just to avoid a repeat. If it does well, it will get a crab!

>>4981745
Yep, that's possible.

>>4981762
Clocktick's mechanism eventually stalls, and you're quite sure that twisting it further will damage it. When you release it, however, the creature goes into overdrive. It zips around in laps, its speed doubling the whole time.

Once it's over, however, it collapses onto the ground and begins twitching. Seems like doing this will tire it out severely.

Unique Ability!
Clocktick may be wound up before battles, which gives it increased Attack, but has a 33% chance of lingering aftereffects.

The gentle reassurance makes Helmsbuck feel a lot better, now that he realises he won't be scolded. He makes a half-hearted attempt to stick the tree back, but fails, and just wanders off to do something else.

>>4981845
Strumling, being a stubborn little thing, is resistant to trying out new music at first. But eventually, he starts vocalising a new cover of the song he's been introduced to. It's loud, proud, and audible to all the Monsters and Anons on the ranch.

>>4981862
>As he walks away I stop him. "You can't fix it like that but we should at least clean it up, okay? Can you help me throw it out?"

Helmsbuck halts, and quickly trots over to your side to assist! It’s strong enough to lift one half of the bush easily, and the two of you will be able to get it disposed of.

Looks like the little buddy is learning some responsibility! That ought to influence its evolution.

>>4982147
Strathawk coos softly, and seems quite upset. But it immediately stops torturing the poor things.

>>4981936

Babies require food. And it’s not long before the creatures are [b]hungry[/b] again! Every creature starts making noise around the same time, chirping or squeaking while requesting food.

IKADO, STRUMLING and STRATHAWK also poop, leaving a bit of a mess.

Now that you guys have child-level Digital creatures, the wild lands outside of the ranch are open to you. So long as your creature isn’t in need of feeding, medicine, or cleaning, you may go out and adventure! Quests like this will provide opportunities for your creature to develop its personality further, and gain strength, but have a risk of injury.

Strathawk and Strumling are very eager to go.

Strumling is overjoyed to see you too.

Ikado has indeed shit in the box, becoming a little more disciplined from the reprimand. He enjoys the crab greatly. The three of you, together with your monsters, head down to Data Cove. It’s a wide area, with digital water splashing against the shores. You can see creatures leaping about in the waves. There’s also rumor of Cryptocurrency buried in this beach, from an old pirate creature. Plenty of activities to do here! Different activities will imbue your creatures with certain traits, and the things you do will influence their evolution and personality. For example, Strathawk might have become stronger, but more callous if allowed to keep disemboweling things. And Ikado has become more disciplined, but a bit more afraid of scoldings.

The two of you scoop up whatever tasty morsels you can find. Orange berries, fat looking stonefruits from low branches, and what looks like a wild melon. Eventually, however, Helmsbuck stops by the base of a large tree. There’s a white apple atop it, with a semicircular chunk taken out of it. Looks expensive. But it’s too high to grab.

Helmsbuck nods at the command. He takes his place in front of the tree, remembering the incident from earlier where he broke a bush. You can see him trying to be more conscious, and this time, he controls his strength to release a punch into the trunk! Vibrations shudder up the length of the digital wood, sending voxels and leaf particles flying. The apple drops down.

>APPLE firmware obtained!

Ooh, this looks like a rather expensive, but frail fruit. You’ve unlocked an EVOLUTION ITEM. You may hold on to it and integrate it into a creature’s evolution once the time comes, to put a sort of theme into it. This one provides a chrome, futuristic aesthetic, but tends to be a glass cannon.

You may trade and sell such items between yourselves, and make deals with other anons. It’s also possible to find evolution items that change future attributes.

Helmsbuck is getting tired, but has learned quite a bit today! He’s good for one more activity before getting exhausted.

>>4982502
As shown before, Ikado is a playful sort, and enjoys the tactile sensation of using its flippers to bat things about. It seems to want to play in the sand, and is enjoying tossing clouds of sand into the air. It’s not very friendly behavior for playing with other pets, but he’s having a good time.

Nothing wrong with playing with sand, it isn't as if Ikado's getting anyone else in the plume.

Once we've both had a spot of downtime, let's do a bit of searching. Food or treasure, hmm... actually, since Ikado eats seafood, we could sort of do both together? Treasure sounds more fun, though!

>>4982540
If you pick treasure, you’ll be competing with Strathawk and his owner to get it. Will be based on rolls!

>>4982530
Helmsbuck raises the apple triumphantly, and then starts the search for mushrooms. It’s the second activity of the day, and Helmsbuck is a bit tired. Roll me a 1d6, please, to see the degree of success in locating the mushroom, and to determine any random events that happen on the way.

>>4982535
As for fruit hunting, you’re able to gather up the same sort of local fruits. Instead of the apple, however, Clocktick seems to take notice of something else. It leads you towards a sort of clearing in the forest. The air is rather still, and in the middle of a glade sits a large bulb. Traces of crackling static are present in the air around it. It definitely seems virus-affiliated.

With its sharp vision, Strathawk is adept at searching. It takes off into the sky for a brief moment, gliding over the sands and checking out the terrain. When it returns to you, it screeches and guides you towards a spot, where you can begin digging!

From the air, this spot certainly looks like an X, with the marking being made from parts of the natural environment. Your pet has managed to apply its innate skills, and gotten better at searching! It’s a bit worn out and [HUNGRY], requiring feeding, but is satisfied at having gotten some money for the two of you.

Both is valid, yeah. The two of you inch forward. Your little friend winds up the key on his back, and then prepares to lunge at the bulb if it does anything suspicious. He seems grateful that you’ve come down with him, and is ready to guard you if anything goes wrong. You’re able to get up close to it without anything bad happening.

When you’re within three feet of it, however, the bulb unfurls all of a sudden. Clocktick panics and raises his limbs, scuttling backwards and trying to drag you away. Within the bulb is some kind of strange, spasming mass. It looks like corrupted data, half-formed and ready to be spat out into the forest…

Your little companion is rather tired, but manages to power through! By the time the search is complete, he’s quite [HUNGRY], but has managed to locate the cache! Hidden in the files, beneath the roots of a tree, you two find a mushroom. The object contains the real-world geolocation of a mushroom patch, and the information is almost as valuable as the actual fungi. Unfortunately, you’re in the digital world and can’t really go out and get it.

However, as you handle the mushroom data, you see Helmsbuck staring at it hungrily. It looks rather enticing to him…

Ah, PC peaks. These mountains are filled with Vaccine types, and Doracle is a bit hesitant to go where they’ll be targeting him. But adventure calls! It’s rugged and rocky, and the sun shines brightly on the two of you. It’s a good day to be out in nature. You two could embark on training, adventure, or things of the sort. To keep the mountains cool, there are gigantic flat plateaus in places, with huge fans that rotate and blow hot air up. Creatures use these to fly, but you could potentially also hijack them and travel through the mountains.

Ikado flops through the shallows, searching for clams in the sand or anything like that. You help with searching as well. After a while, you both have gathered a respectable amount of clams. If you bring this back to the ranch, everyone could enjoy a good meal.

Ikabo blubbers and gets your attention. He’s discovered an open clam! And inside it is a valuable-looking pearl. Your pet seems ready to snag it up. He’s quite the hasty little guy, after all. But you can sense something a bit off in the area…

Could you potentially use multiple evolution items at a time or just one every time your pet evolves?

Good timing, I was just about to do it.

The rest of the pets are getting a bit peckish! Some have been fed recently, or are seconds away from fighting, and are exempt until after. As everyone is out in the wilderness, you don't have to clean their shit up, so that's foregone for now.

And I've come up with the battle mechanics!

Battle mechanics:

There are three stats:
Attack
Defence
Hp

Creatures have: 1 atk 1 def 2 hp by default.

Defense is a shield that prevents your HP from being lowered, and each successful attack busts through 1 defence point

On turns, you attack your opponent and try to beat their defense roll. Defending is different from having a defense stat.

Attack- Roll 1d4+atk
Defend- Roll 1d6

A coin is flipped to see who goes first, and each creature gets to attack a number of times equal to their atk, at the end of which, the battle ends.

Winner priority:
Whoever doesn’t have 0hp
Higher HP
If same HP, Higher Hp percentage

Virus gains +1 attack against Data, Data gains +1 hp against Vaccine, Vaccine gains +1 defence against Virus.

Each of you guys get 2 stat points to put into your stats, so reply and lemme know what your pet will spec into!

No obvious reason, no. And Ikado is very eager to do so-

And as he reaches for the pearl, the clamshell snaps down and tries to take his tentacle off. He swiftly pulls it back and smacks the clam, causing it to skitter across the sand. Two little eyes open up, and the digital creature snaps its jaws menacingly.

Ikado has been pulled into a battle!

Your little friend takes the mushroom and gratefully chows down on it. He looks up to you gratefully and offers up half of it. Unfortunately, humans can't eat digital food, but it's the thought that counts. Your little pet is having a great day. You may not have gotten the coins, but giving him such a valuable present has strengthened your bond.

With your adventure complete, the two of you head home to the ranch! You do notice something a bit odd, however... Helmsbuck is sneezing! Seems he's caught a bit of a bug.

As your second activity, the two of you spend some time relaxing and contemplating on the beach. Strathawk is practicing flying, and spends some time flapping around in the sand while watching the confrontation between Ikado and the wild Digiform. Eventually, your pet calms down and approaches you. He takes some time to just sit there, admiring the setting sun after a long day of adventuring. The contemplation mellows him out just a little bit, and he curbs his hyperactivity for a while to just enjoy the moment.

Time to go home.

The two of you explore PC Peaks! Doracle's ability seems rather useful in preventing any accidents. He's able to predict whenever you're about to step on a loose rock, or somewhere unsafe. Unfortunately, he can't actually prevent you from doing it, but in the immediate aftermath, you're always able to right yourself. It makes your bond quite a bit stronger!

At one point, a landslide causes the two of you to get covered in dust and rubble, though neither of you are harmed. Doracle stops immediately. He refuses to move on until his horn is properly shined again! It'll make your trek quite a bit longer if he just stands here to do it, and he's being a little stubborn about moving on.

Despite Clocktick's protests, you harvest the item! It looks like a swirling mass of missing textures, that form odd chunks. You've obtained a [BUGBUD], an evolutionary item! This will likely infect a creature with a virus and change its type, but as it's missing textures, won't result in a change of palette. Your creature may not be very happy to have it used, but if you ever need a type-change upon evolving, this is how you do it.

Well, I'll comment while your pet fucks around, I guess.

Blipbloop is a digital sentinel that usually sits within the mainframe, killing viruses in transit. It has a transient physical form, and rides around on a cloud of antiviral programming. Visually, it's a bit garish to look at, and it prefers to not have a solid body at all. But in order to get stronger, its made a bond with you and is prepared to experience the simulated digital world, instead of the realm of code.

However, this shapeshifting doesn't copy any of their attributes or strength. It's good enough to get up close to something, however! She uses this to close in on prey, and then cuts them apart with her glass edges.

Doracle slowly nods and follows along. You've taught him an important lesson about pride, and that he can't let it get in the way all the time. He obeys you and decides to put up with the indignity of his sullied horn.

Eventually, the two of you climb to a peak! From there, you can see a huge valley below, with a river running through it. It's a wonderful sight, and you've caught it JUST as the sun begins to set. If you had dallied down there, you'd have missed this beautiful view.

Doracle's eyes go wide as he beholds the sight. And after fully taking it in, he starts cleaning his horn once you two take a break up top.

Hatching from the egg with a powerful buzz is Vespray! This little lass can control swarms of buzzing bugs, that weave through the surroundings and come to her aid.

>Each of you guys get 2 stat points to put into your stats, so reply and lemme know what your pet will spec into!
Oh yeah missed that.
Uhh, 2 points into ATK. With that skill, what else?

>>4983491
Using your skill gives you 1 bonus attack in a battle, which stacks with your stats. There's also 1 bonus attack if you fight a Data type, which makes Clocktick an absolute unholy terror with up to 5 attack as a first-stage creature. But winding his key has a 1/3 chance of permanently damaging him.

>>4983473
By this, did you mean using the skill, or just moving the key?
Clocktick may be wound up before battles, which gives it increased Attack, but has a 33% chance of lingering aftereffects.

>>4983449
>>4983459
>Feed her
Normal food: Glass shards
Treats: Silver

If possible, I'd also want to encourage her to hunt any small critters around the area to train her reflection ability, though she might do that on her own anyways.

Doracle can choose, instead of defending, to roll a 1d2. On a 2, it avoids the incoming attack. This can be attempted repeatedly, until it succeeds once.

Cleaned up! And as the only person with Cryptocoins at the moment, here's the shopping list:

Training tools: 5 Coins
Buying one will allow your pets to train. You can choose between three types, and purchasing a unique type will allow you a stat increase of the corresponding type. Can only occur one time per stat.

Deluxe food x2 : 3 Coins
Increases your pet's happiness significantly, and they'll need double the amount of time between feedings, for the period after eating.

Deluxe Ranch: 10 Coins
Say goodbye to the rest of these suckers on the communal ranch. You're hitting the big time, baby! Receive a specialised place that suits your creature's individual needs. Permanent happiness boost and they'll naturally evolve into stronger forms that exemplify their existing traits.

Rolled 2 (1d4)

>>4983785
Nice, now counterattack!

Rolled 2, 1, 4, 1 = 8 (4d6)

>>4983790
Don't forget the +4, so that's 6.

Very first roll is for Clawnfish defending against Strumling. Next rolls are defence against Ikado.

Sorry Surf, I mistyped. Was meant to be 3d4+4, not 2, so I'll mentally add the numbers.

Rolled 3 + 2 (1d4 + 2)

>>4983781
And every hit connects! Slamshell is battered and smashed, and it withdraws into its cracked shell. The second hit breaks through its last Defence point, and the next two eat through its Hp. It attempts to bury itself, but Ikado lunges forward! Time to feast. Unless you have some qualms, for some reason.

>Execute
>Other

And this roll is for >>4983790 Clawnfish attacking Strumling. After you roll defence, roll 2d4+4, as Clawnfish is out of attack turns anyway.

>>4983799

No qualms, it's just a clam, like the ones we've just been gathering up. Ikado eats seafood, I feed it fish and crabs myself. Well done on the win there, buddy!

Oh, and we can take that Pearl now!

Once the Pearl is retrieved and Ikado's finished his current meal, we can head back to camp, to share the rest of the clams we found with everyone.

>>4983713
>Clean
Once that's done, let's try and make Vespray's space on the communal ranch a little more comfortable for her. While it might not be as good as the Deluxe Ranch, maybe we can start a makeshift nest?

DELETED! And with it, you gain a pearl, which is worth 3 Cryptocoins! Great work, the both of you.

Strumling, with 2hp and 1 def, is unharmed!

Starting with 3hp and 1 def, Clawnfish has ended with 0 def and 1hp, making it tonight's big loser!

The fish is knocked down. Will you finish the job?

WOO! Deleted. And with that, Strumling has managed to take down its first foe. The little fella has certainly grown stronger from that... He's too tired to keep exploring, so it's time to go back home, where a special surprise awaits...

One moment.

It has been roughly 48 hours since their hatching, and the two oldest pets have both gone through quite a bit.

For Helmsbuck, he's been taught to control his strength, and to take accountability for his actions. He has developed into a disciplined youth, who prides himself in martial ability and the power of his armour and body.

Strumling is wild and aggressive. One might find him a bit uncontrollable, but he certainly knows how to get his way and express himself. He's loud and proud, and an excellent fighter.

To PC Peaks you go! Which activity will you do?

>>4983848
Sorry, I missed this post. Sure thing, time to make some nest-like alterations to the area. Will update shortly.

The wild Strumling has evolved! Its waveform splits into three, and it can maintain three separate chords of sound at once. The organ on its nose allows it to blast out piercing sonic bursts. Its body is well-suited for swimming, and it excels in amphibious terrain. This evolution is very much a completely natural progression, and hasn't been stunted in any way.

>>4983859
Good work, Ikado! Let's head back to the ranch. Who else do you think is going to want some of these clams?

>>4983967
Helmsbuck, meanwhile, has grown his horns in. The introduction of the Apple Firmware has altered his evolution! Cybernetic parts adorn his body, integrated deeply into his systems. Portions of his armour plating have been replaced by white chrome, and most notably, a helmet obscures his little face.

Combat-wise, he's able to carry out a speedy analysis of enemies, and strikes with brass knuckles and chrome-tipped boots.

The two of them are [Hungry] after evolving, so perhaps they could benefit from some tasty foraged clams.

As the next two oldest, Ikado and Strathawk are next in line. Both have been fed and maintained for 48 hours, have been taught certain things, and have gone on adventures, so they're ready to evolve! Just as soon as I get the sprites.

Let's go to the Data Cove, to search for material, cryptocurrency and fight

>>4983848
Vespray, during your attempt to make a sort of nest for her, shows off some of her natural skills! She pulps a tree and starts using the bark to form a nest. It's slow, and will take a while, but she's adept at making natural shelter. You also notice a bit of a swarm forming around her, of strange glitches in the digital world.

Special skill!
When reduced to 0 HP, Vespray isn't instantly defeated. Instead, she summons a typeless, 1hp, 1atk 'swarm' creature, which replaces her and resumes combat. This creature is used for calculations at the end of combat, to determine a winner.

>>4983993
Doracle has been on an adventure a bit too recently, and is still tired out. You may bring him on a quest, but there's a chance of 1/3 chance of exhaustion setting in per activity, which counts as a Care Mistake (permanent penalty for evolutions, etc).

>>4983983
>>4983973
Ah, right. I forgot to mention. You can each allocate 2 more points to stats upon reaching the YOUTH stage! Which makes your pet quite a bit stronger against Baby-stage ones.

It'll be considered a new adventuring day on the day after a quest is finished, from my time zone. It's still the same day where everyone finished their expeditions where am I, so new ones can't take place yet.

Though, Vespray, Blipbloop, and Shiftshard can head to one of the three locales any time at the moment.

>>4984011
Also let him rest for the day, he earned a good sleep

>>4983734
Oh jeez. Checking in.

>>4983984
"Congrats, Helmsbuck."

If he can digest the clams he should definitely have some

>>4984006
As for the points which I forgot to include in my last point one in hp and one in attack

>>4984013
Ok, give him a treat for the adventure

Two more contenders come in, to join the clam buffet.

>>4983580

First, STRATHAWK has evolved! It now has larger wings, and is capable of constant flight unlike its previous stage. From the search it did, it develops golden eyes that can pinpoint weak points from vast distances away.

From looking at past records of the species, however, your pet is slightly different. A normal Strathawk gets a bit sharper than this when it evolves. Longer claws, a savage beak, and unbridled cruelty. But you've tempered that vicious streak through raising it a certain way. It's less physically imposing, but more intelligent, and less prone to making mistakes due to any innate sadism. If you continue down this route, you'll continue getting a creature that's different from the baseline. Or if you prefer the sound of the other path, you could change your raising style.

Ikado is chaotic, rather than violent. You've allowed it to exercise a bit of a creative streak, so its developed as a creature that uses multiple tentacles to slap and grapple foes. It's quite physically affectionate too! Despite being a Virus type, he's quite kind, and has learned the importance of sharing and altruism. It's also an evolution that's quite different from the baseline, due to its treatment.

Acknowledged! All healed up.

Reminder for Blipbloop! Check in and clean up before 9 hours from the posting time have passed, or a Care Mistake will be generated.

>>4984032
Doracle accepts the lasagna happily. He's taken to wearing the blanket around his neck most of the time.

>>4983713
Clean Blipbloop
>>4984013
Take Blipbloop to File Forest, hopefully we'll find a good evolution item.

You and Pokeog come across one of the gigantic fans that keep the mountain from overheating. High above, bird-type Digital beasts leave shadows in their wake. As you observe, a creature crashes through a nearby thicket! It looks like it's running from some predator. The beast leaps onto the fan blades, and the light little thing is blasted high into the air, and out of danger.

You hear the pursuer getting closer to you. It sounds big- larger than your Baby-level pet can take, probably. What'll you do?
