| PLAYER↴ Name: sarah Contact: lastreplays @ gmail / Other Characters: n/a CHARACTER↴ Character Name: Ishida Yamato Age: 17 Species: Human Canon: Digimon Adventure Tri. Canon Point: Movie 3: Confession - specifically, immediately after the reboot takes place but before Yamato and gang return to the Digital World. Character Info: here, also, have the wiki page for Digimon Adventure Tri. since there's nothing much on the Digimon-specific wiki at the moment. Personality: [ ooc note: There are significant characterisation differences between the Engish dubbed version and the original Japanese version. This section is based off the original Japanese canon. ] On first impression, Yamato is the cool kid. He's that one guy in school that has a whole group of fangirls hanging over him (it doesn't help that he has the whole amateur rock star look going for him and his high school band) and he looks aloof enough to be unapproachable unless you need something very specific from him. Dig a little deeper, and Yamato is definitely more than his pretty boy rockstar image. He's a private person who's a little bit of an introvert, preferring to be either alone or with small groups of people. He's not a natural leader, but he's willing to step up and isn't afraid of getting his hands dirty if the situation demands for it. He's perceptive and empathetic, sensitive to other people's emotions but also perceived slights against him. He's clever and fiercely proud, although it's the kind of confidence and self-assuredness that comes with being self-aware - he knows his strengths, his faults, and he makes the attempt to grow and learn from his mistakes (he's come a long way from the 11-year-old child that first went to the Digital World). He has a strong sense of justice and will fight for what he believes in, and is fiercely protective of both family and close friends, taking his responsibilities towards them very seriously. Basically, Yamato is one of those people who just cares for everyone so damn much but would probably rather throw himself off a cliff into the ocean and sink dourly to the bottom of the sea than to actually admit it. Case in point, Yamato is the bearer of the Crest of Friendship, which was and still is his strongest personality trait. While Yamato's friendship is difficult to gain, especially at its initial stages, the people who he considers important enough will find that Yamato is usually a firm and faithful friend. To some extent, he's the caretaker and the responsible one of the group - the one who usually makes sure that no one gets into too much unnecessary danger and keeps and eye on everyone's conditions. Arguably, he does take it to extremes if it's with a group or with people that he's particularly invested in (e.g. the other Chosen Children, and Takeru in particular), to the point where he starts to define himself by his role and how useful he is to the group. He's actually pretty damn selfless in these kinds of situations, willing to put aside his own personal goals and ambitions temporarily to help his friends in need. It's awkward, because for all of Yamato's ability to express his trust and loyalty to others in actions, Yamato is actually, frankly, still quite terrible at both admitting it, and expressing his emotions and his feelings, largely stemming from his defense mechanism of acting tough and unaffected through his childhood, a direct result of his parents' divorce and subsequent separation from his younger brother, Takeru. Yamato was a sensitive child who was heavily attached to his mother and the divorce hurt him deeply, and the lack of emotional support from living with his caring but slightly negligent workaholic father forced Yamato to grow up much faster than other children his age, using his mask to deflect from the sadness, abandonment, bitterness, and loneliness caused by his family’s situation. Yamato is actually rather emotional - no one really realises how deep and powerful his feelings run. It's easy to paint him as a loose cannon - sometimes the decisions made in the heat of the moment (that one fateful fight against Taichi due to Jureimon's manipulations at his lowest point, for instance) are the ones that he regrets the most, but he's used his mask for long enough that he still manages to keep many of his more destructive impulses under control. Ten years on, the scars from the emotional trauma have mostly healed by now, largely in part due to exposure to the other Chosen Children and the whole having to save the world multiple times thing. Yamato is a lot more open and comfortable in his own skin - comfortable enough to snark and provide deadpan comments at his friends' antics. He's still likely to awkwardly deflect outright heart-to-heart conversations about feelings, though, that's still not a step that he's willing to tackle just yet. Unless you're Takeru. Spoiler: Yamato would do anything for Takeru, and considers his younger brother his utmost priority. Abilities: If he was in the Digital World, he would have access to both his partner Digimon, Gabumon, as well as the ability to cause Gabumon to evolve to higher levels in combat. Right now, though, Yamato is pretty much an average human with no other particular abilities. Fighting, if it comes down to it, is pretty much in a brawler style with no fixed method or technique. His punches will probably be able to split lips and cause bruises, but that's about it. ... He's a pretty good musician and cook? CARNIVAL↴ Soul Colour: Light blue (ideally, the same shade of blue as his Crest) Ideal Jobs: Line Cook or Scout or Wardrobe Assistant. Relevant Experience: • He's not the best cook by any chance, but he's decent enough at cooking and preparing food, largely because having a workaholic father means having to learn how to manage to feed two people by any reasonable means possible. That also means he's pretty good at figuring out how to replicate dishes and tweaking recipes. Also, his best subject at school is Home Economics, which he will never admit because it's mildly embarrassing. • Basic survival skills is a byproduct of the many times that he and the rest of the Chosen Children have wandered around the Digital World. Scouting locations and checking out whole new areas and sectors of the Digital World really just came with a whole lot of practice and trial and error - he's done enough to be fairly decent at it. • With a high school rock band and the occasional performance here and there, Yamato is usually the one responsible for selecting costume concepts and making sure that he (and the rest of the band, by extension) all look good on stage. Even on a normal basis he is quite fashion conscious and puts in considerable effort into his dressing and making himself presentable especially when going out.
