Name: Tate Spalding
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Brown
Nationality: USA
DOB: July 6th
Digivice: Cell Phone (Samsung Script)
Crest: Knowledge

Personality:
For the most part Tate is a carefree soul. He likes to have fun and do crazy things in a crowd. Most people would call him awkward, as the things he does tend to lead to awkward situations, but those who know him well understand that he likes 'awkward' and gets a thrill out of making others feel as such.
When it comes to studies though he is quite a genius. When he is home alone he reads and reads. His form of light reading is 'A-J' in an encyclopedia (which the subject of the encyclopedia varies.) He is thoroughly cunning. He loves problem-solving, and when in a fight despite his Gung-Ho personality he likes to think things through before engaging.
He likes to lie to people for fun, saying things like "I don't like taking my shoes off, I have webbed feet." But his moral conscience makes him admit he was lying almost immediately after. "I'm just kidding, See? Here! No webbed feet"

History:
Tate first met Tsunomon while he was at work at the grocery store. His boss asked him to go outside and collect the shopping cart. While doing so Tate noticed the small creature staring at him from under a shaded tree in the parking lot. Of course, Tate being the Curious type, went to see what it was and tried to pet it, but the creature backed off. But when Tate turned his back (about to go back inside the store) the little digimon began to fallow him. Tate turned back around right before he entered with the carts to see if it was still there, and noticed that the little monster was at his feet. He went inside and grabbed some food for the animal.
"Here you go" he said, "If you're still here when my shift ends, I'll take you home with me."
When Tate's shift ended, he returned to the spot where he left the food, and the Digimon was still there.
"Well i guess it's just you and me" He smiled and picked up the animal, got in his car and drove home.

Of course, there were shocks at first when Tate learned the digimons name and that the creature could speak. But they eventually became inseparable.

"Tate and Tsunomon, Frienamies"

Living:
Tate and Chelysmon live in the dorms between the Sol and the Lune. They live on the First Floor, Second closest room to the Kitchen.
Tate worked in a Grocery Store in America, So when he moved to Japan he also got a job at a Grocery Store there.
It's only a Subway ride away, so it's very convenient.
Tate only uses half of his paycheck for income. The other half is spent entirely on food stuffs.
He often volunteers to cook food for himself, his friends, and their digimon. If there is more to go around he's happy to share.
Tate Aspires to be a Zoologist. Most of the encyclopedias he has laying around are animal related. He wants to photograph and film animals in the wildlife. BUT with the recent introduction of digimon and the Digital world, he wants to bring record data on Digimon and be one of the first if not the first Digital Life Documentarians. Tate always carries a small digital camera with him, but he has a very nice Nikon with 50x Zoom lense that he brings with him when he knows he's going to need it (he has a special backpack for the camera and lenses that he usually takes into the digital world, he also can fit in some food and drinks and small objects if necessary).

Likes:
Unique Plaid Patterns (Not Flannel).
Working at the Grocery Store.
Photography.
Cooking.
Memorizing Random yet Intriguing facts.
Walking Barefoot, You'll never see him wear shoes if he doesn't have to.
Most animals, Hes a pet person
SWIMMING! In Rivers, Lakes, Streams, Pools. The boy loves to be wet.

Dislikes:
Flannel! It's not the same as Plaid lol
Hot Weather, and Humidity
Video Games, He just can't figure them out.
Citrus Fruit
Brain Farts / Memory Loss
Wearing Shoes
Repeating Himself.
BUGS! and SPIDERS! He's terrified of the Creepy Crawlies.

DIGIMON PARTNER


Personality:
Chelysmon is MUCH more laid-back than Tate, but just as smart. They call themselves Frenamies (friend-Enemies) because they can be getting along one minute and then completely hate each other the next. They are both stubborn, and try to one-up each other as much as possible.
They love each other at the heart though, like brothers.

Dude, I friggin' love your Digimon. I wasn't sure I told you yet, BUT FOR REAL.
It makes me want a Digimon. ;w; But I would probably fail at it. (It would maybe be easier designing it, though, compared to all of the fakemon I have yet to do. Though the later stages would be more difficult to draw. HMMM.)

Haha! A little secret. I love digimon WAY more than Pokemon, so you can only imagine my Nerd-dome XD The show was amazing and more relate-able XD
Thanks for the compliment.
Give Digimons a chance, Soak in the anime and let it become your lifeline XD Then you can truly start making them up on your own!

Haha I'm just kidding.

Yes, The basic forms (Baby, In-Training, Rookie, and Champion) are VERY easy to design. But the final 2 forms (Ultimate and Mega) are the most challenging because the lines between them and the champion form is very thin. Many champions can pass as ultimate and revers, and many ultimates can pass as megas and reverse.

I loved the original Digimon way back.. you know, a decade ago. (I feel old saying that.) I haven't watched it at all lately, but all of your Digimanz are starting to make me want to watch it again.

I didn't even know there were Mega forms. Or, if I did, I completely forgot. D: So I looked up one of my favorite Digimon from back in the day, Gatomon, and saw her separate Ultimate and Mega forms and.. Exalted Beast form from when she Armor digivolved or something? Nefertimon? Anyway I'm just like "Woooaaaaahhh this is crazy".

Tatetops In reply to Sugar-Frosted-Demon [2011-08-12 04:16:38 +0000 UTC]

Haha! Before we graduated I started watching all of the original episodes but I stopped about 30 episodes in.
There's 6 Seasons now But only Seasons 1-3 are really worth watching. (The 6ths season is new and hasn't had english dubs yet)

In season 1 the highest form was Ultimate, except Gabumon and Agumon were the only ones granted the Mega Level.
In season 2 they couldn't digivolve normally because of dark control so they had Armor evolutions, and once they could digivolve to champions normally they invented DNA Digivolving to merge 2 champions to form an ultimate (no megas)
Season 3 I believe was the best because it was Darker than the first 2, they were able to reach mega via Bio-Merging (becoming one w/ your digimon)
Season 4 there were no digimon partners, the chosen ones BECAME their digimon.
Season 5 everthing was normal exept in their final stages they could switch forms.
Season 6 I don't know much about but apparently the chosen ones are generals of their digimon army and the digimon don't digivolve they combine with each other like the Power Ranger robots XD

I would DEFINITELY recommend watch first 3 seasons.

Also, turtles are just awesome <33
Isn't flannel a type of fabric while plaid is a pattern? o:

Tatetops In reply to Zillar [2011-08-05 02:08:15 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much, lol Turtles are my favorite :3

Yes, flannel is a fabric but the majority of the time it has a plaid-ish pattern on it. He just gets upset when he asks for plaid-patterned clothes and he gets flannel. "If I Wanted Flannel, I WOULD HAVE ASKED FOR IT!" Is usually how he reacts lol.

VelkynKarma [2011-08-03 00:30:10 +0000 UTC]

Had to come check out your character and your mon after seeing you in the chat

Knowledge ftw! Go Sol!

And your character is very interesting, sounds very lively and fun while still smart. Your character has a similar goal to mine as well; yours wants to create a documentary while mine is interesting in compiling a digital world history. They might want to collaborate on project information in the future

Soooo looking forward to this rp X3

Checked your profile out too, Epic Hyena digimon. And the In-training is very cute and silly.

VelkynKarma In reply to Tatetops [2011-08-03 01:16:45 +0000 UTC]

They totally could X3 Explore the world, record what they find, interpret what they see. It'd be an epic documentary series and a great couple of books...and probably very useful and educational to Sol and Luna too.

Out of curiosity, which chat program do you use for rping? I've got AIM and MSN Messenger...might be fun to do some individual RP's once everything gets started.

(Especially if those chatrooms are going to be as busy as they were tonight @_@ )

I actually don't do RPs via chatroom. And It'a actually been a couple of years since I did RPed last. I like going to forums with a community to RP, which Is why I desperately want a forum for TDW.

VelkynKarma In reply to Tatetops [2011-08-03 01:56:05 +0000 UTC]

Aaaah, I see. Hope they make a forum, in that case (I agree with you that the chatroom rp's are way too busy...I've RP'd with 3-4 people at a time, but there's just too much going on in those chatrooms too fast )

I prefer IM-rping myself, although I haven't roleplayed in a few years either so I might be a little rusty. So if you change your mind and feel like trying that out, I'd be more than happy to RP with you Especially since I think our chars would get along pretty well
