It's been a long, long time since we've all seen a Digimon idea, it seems. So, I said "Why not?" and decided to ressurect an old idea of mine.
Forgiven Memory
Ten elements, two worlds. Fire, Ice, Wind, Thunder, Wood, Water, Soul, Light, Earth, and Metal were the elements which stood, providing a divine law of the land in which the lives of people and spirits were based off of. The worlds were Earth and the Divine Realm. Since time had began, these elements had ran wild, beasts often running across the countryside, without anybody to tame them. This remained until a young priestess, a woman known to her region as Chinatsu, was called upon by the gods and responsibility thrust upon her. Wise and pious, she learned the secrets hidden behind these elements, and somehow managed to master them.
However, this peace lasted only a few years. Civil war broke out in the country, the origin of this war being a vampiric man who only called himself 'Myotismon.' He convinced many into believing his virtues considered the sins, which he promised those who followed him eternal life and power. Seeing the dangers of this, Chinatsu and a simple shinobi named Katsuro, together sought out Myotismon, and an ultimate battle was waged. Even though victorious, the heroes perished. However, before their death, the spirits of the elements appeared before them. Taking their favored elements, the two inscribed their names upon their choice, and then their souls faded into the blanket of time.
Most of the elements mourned over the death of the heroes of the world. However, the proud element of Light decided to create three spirits powerful over the others. These spirits became known as Seraphimon, Orphanimon, and Cherubimon. Seeing inferiority in the spirits, they goaded them into the Divine Realm and separated the two worlds, the legends of the priestess, ninja, and of the spirits forgotten.
In panic, the elements divided into two and razed the border in order to find an escape. Saddened by their failed attempts, they waited patiently. And then the technological age came on Earth, and they were mysteriously reunited. However, at the same time, an angelic child known as Lucemon was born. Of an evil mind, being the reincarnate of Myotismon, he captured half of the elements as his own, and seeing how Light wasn't in his grasp, created the element of Darkness from the shadows. He then created the crests, the essence of his elements, and sent them to random children on Earth. Seeing this, the trinity of justice did the same, and wondered if this was another attempt at war.
These crests all represented a trait inside the children's hearts. They were Courage and Cowardice of Fire, Friendship and Loneliness of Ice, Love and Lust of Wind, Knowledge and Ignorance of Thunder, Reliability and Betrayal of Water, Sincerity and Vanity of Forest, Hope and Sin of Soul, Light, Darkness, Kindness and Cruelty of Earth, and finally Miracles and Fate of Metal. While the fact of eleven elements remained, the twenty crests remained balanced, causing no worries to neutral Digimon.
-----
Modern Tokyo is calm and peaceful during the city's Spring Break for schools. Nothing seems to go wrong, and there's a month to be free of worries. From wherever or if you're just home, you feel boredom and decide to head online for awhile. Part of you feels a pull in your heart, but the other part of you seems to ignore this warning, and you check your Inbox for e-mails. Aside from whatever spam and whatnot, you find only one interesting message from an anonymous address. Confused, you look into it and read. There's a simple message with a Yes or No link; it reads 'Time is running out. Make your move. Will you decide the fate of the world?' Reluctantly, you click the option of Yes, and light or shadow plunges from the computer towards you, seemingly dragging you. Unable to think, you pass out.
Awakening, you feel an awkward sense of being different. You look upon the group you're among, and yourself, and notice you all have two things in common, a small device and a creature claiming to be a Digimon, or Digital Monster. Despite any complaints, you realize what you are together for, like it or not. After gathering together, your group sets off into this Digital World in the crusade to decide the fate of the world. Whatever happened to the reincarnates of Chinatsu and Katsuro, and what sets them apart from the others? Are they perhaps different from the others in some way? What would happen to the world without them? Only the threads of time will show...
Alright. Here's some basic information.
~D-Serenity - The D-Serenity is this RPG's version of the Digivice. Resembling the digivices used in Digimon Frontier, the D-Tector/D-Scanner. It can reveal the data of Digimon, and detect the prescence of other D-Serenities. Rumors are also held that these devices have pros and cons, depending on the side of the Chosen Child. Functions also as a D-Terminal, in which this time, it stores the crest rather than a DigiEgg.

Mine is as follows.
Name: Laura Deirdre (pronounced Dare-dra)
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Standing at a close to average height of 5'4, Laura's facial physique consists of deep forest green eyes with a feline hint to it, and her hair is thick, shoulder-length, and deep dark brown in color. Her skin is relatively pale, and her figure is pretty well-formed, almost naturally athletic for a swimmer.
Laura, given that it is Spring Break, is without a required sailor school uniform, and normally dresses in dark colors and somewhat loose clothing to shadow her form. This normally consists of a black and red System of a Down shirt (as shown), and slightly darker than normal jeans that taper off of her black high-top tennis shoes. Jewelry wise, she wears silver earrings bearing the traditional triangular Celtic knot, and a necklace bearing an Amy Brown faery with a sapphire orb at the faery's stomach.
In the Digital World, her clothing is altered to where she is much so in a rave club or somewhere similar. Her shirt is replaced with a black kimono-like top that comes down to about mid-thigh on her, with blue ends on each sleeve and obi. Her jeans are replaced with black capri pants with dark blue straps attached, and her tennis shoes remain the same. However, her jewelry has been replaced. Her celtic-themed earrings have been replaced with small silver hoops, and rather than a faery, her necklace bears an oriental dragon with ruby eyes, grasping a small diamond. In her hair is also a ribbon of the same color as her obi, used to tie her hair back.
Personality: Laura is rather free-spirited and kind-hearted, which unfortunately has led to her social issues as well as some of her now introverted, depressive nature. All she longs for is to be accepted for being her rather than hiding behind some model image, and in modern teen culture, it is hard for her. When she forms a form of friendship, her loyalty and commitment is unconditional and loving.
Alliance: Dark
Crest/Element: Loneliness/Ice
D-Serenity: Dark grey with blue rims, with buttons a much lighter, almost silver, grey. The Crest of Loneliness, a crystal resembling that of Suicune's surrounded by two circles, is on the back with the same color as the rims.
Digimon: Snowmon (Kori)
History: Laura, as some have guessed, is American by birth. Her parents oddly found each other being from opposite ends of the country, thus political issues had always been intact in her family. Her mother had constantly had affairs, and from an early age, Laura assumed that it wasn't right. But whenever she saw, she was threatened with beatings. Not able to handle this pressure, she at a mere five years old told her father, and it resulted in divorce, and she landed in the custody of her mother.
Her mother soon remarried, and she immediately continued this time with neglect for her daughter's emotions. Laura became depressed because of this, and even counselors were scared to admit her mother was the cause. Two years of emotional, and at one point, sexual, abuse came to an end dramatically when she was seven, in which unable to be reunited with her "missing" father, she wound up in the custody of her favorite aunt. Not too long afterwards, the two moved to Tokyo, where they presently reside.
Laura grew under a mixed interest family, flourishing contently. She learned how to play the guitar, as well as some of the basics to crystal healing and herbs. At first, this interested her peers, yet as they grew older, trends became common while Laura kept true to herself. Attending a school with mixed Japanese and American pop cultures, she doesn't seem to necessarily fit in with either group. Even for making some of the higher marks among her peers, she is pushed even further down, usually out of jealousy or simply out of her natural sympathy for those who do poorly. Hurting her emotionally, she has taken the blame for even things she hasn't done, thinking of herself as "too self-centered" and such. However, she hopes that this spring, she can discover friendship and true, eternal love unlike what she has seen...
Relationships: None as of yet. However, she sympathizes for the one boy she finds handsome, Hatake Michael, and hopes to reach out to him more.

Other: The emotional reincarnate of the miko, Chinatsu. Ironically, she was born in the later part of the summer (early September), given that the name Chinatsu means "a thousand summers."
Name: Snowmon
Species: Young Dog
Class: Vaccine
Appearance: Snowmon, quite basic, resembles a small American Eskimo Dog, with eyes that are a innocent grey color. Her somewhat glittery fur has dark blue stripes along her back.
Personality: She's really reserved and trusts Laura more than anybody else. As a quiet being, she seems confused when it comes to talking to people she doesn't trust. She'll help Laura in every way she can.
Attacks:
Child's Play - She runs in circles a few times before a small spike of ice rises from the ground.
Koori Breath - She breaths a small amount of ice out of her mouth.
Emotional Uprising - She looks up to the sky and causes a small snowstorm to rain down.
Level: Rookie
Element: Ice
Name: Freyamon
Species: Winter Spirit
Class: Vaccine
Appearance: She looks a lot like Kirara/Kilala on InuYasha(the beast form, of course), except her fur is a deep blue color and her fangs aren't as large. Her eyes are now a dark grey which seems to hide emotion easily, and where flames are normally at her paws, there are silver ribbons(none around the mouth).
Personality: Freyamon is really kind, and many consider her fierce because of her appearance. She is emotionally sensitive, and seems to feel a lot of angst.
Attacks:
Frozen Ribbons - She extends her paw ribbons and slashes her opponent(s) with them.
The Spirit's True Nature - She breathes a beam of ice from her mouth.
Winter Gale - She develops a cold aura and rushes at her opponent swiftly.
Level: Champion
Element: Ice
Name: Epiphanymon
Species: Winter Guardian
Class: Data
Appearance: Much like (Ko)Haku's beast form in Spirited Away(the wolf/dragon), except more feminine and a bit more furrier. Her mane is a deep blue and her eyes are a tealish color.
Personality: She is really strong-willed and wise, seemingly giving advice at times to anybody she would consider an 'ally'. Her emotions can run wild at times.
Attacks:
Koori Orb - She forms a snowball between her forepaws and seemingly 'tosses' it into the air, then whacking it with her tail, which sends it flying at an opponent.
Epiphany Blaze - She fires a beam of ice at an opponent at a slightly swift pace.
Blue January - The temperature in her mouth freezes and she bites down on her opponent.
Level: Ultimate
Element: Ice
Name: Nayrumon
Species: Goddess
Class: Vaccine
Appearance: In this form, Nayrumon is the very image of wisdom and beauty pulled and entwined together. Standing at 5'8" with a graceful, defined figure, Nayrumon has eyes as silver as the moon on a winter night, and her long, thick hair deep blue in color. Her skin is a wintery pale. Nayrumon is practically adorned in a dress similar to this(but rather blue with grey insides), and she carries a grey staff with the crest of Friendship and Loneliness on top.
Personality: Nayrumon is wise, loving, and giving. When she forms a commitment, she will stick to it until the very end. Her loyalty to Laura and her allies is unforgetable. Always one to give advice when necessary.
Attacks:
Hikari no Yuki - Nayrumon becomes enveloped in an aura of blue light, and she fires a stream of snowflakes from her staff.
Angel's Kiss - Nayrumon lightly blows into the wind, chilling the general aura of an opponent, stunning them for a moment or so.
Song of Winter - Quietly chanting in an ancient tongue similar to Aramaic, a pentacle of light and spiritual energy forms before her. She takes this and with her staff slings it to the ground, a pool of ice forming on the ground. The ice will numb the sores of allies, but give frostbite to foes.
Final Flight to Heaven - Nayrumon glances to the skies, clasping her hands together in prayer. From the heavens above streams down three beams of light energy in red, blue and green which shocks the foes temporarily. They reascend to her staff, and with all power within her, Nayrumon fires a blast of ice in these colors from her staff. As her strongest attack, she is forced to dedigivolve following this.
Level: Mega
Element: Ice/Light
