“The lighter something is, the easier it is to darken it.”
― Bruce Crown, How Dim the Promised Land
Heroes. Saviors. Champions and upholders of justice. All names the Digidestined have heard before, in reference to themselves. But what if they weren’t the heroes? What if they had become something else, had taken a trip to the opposite end of the spectrum?
Dark Digidestined Roleplay explores the fallen, takes the dark crevices in each hero’s soul and brings them to the forefront. Will you join the former champions of good now that they’ve journeyed down?
Because after all, even the light flirts with darkness.

Unfortunately we do not allow OCs. There are several reasons for this, but one of them is that this group explores what could happen if canon was altered in some way to change the nature of these existing characters. Original characters have no official canon to pull from, so it’s hard to say what was ‘altered’ from their ‘original canon’ to make them become ‘dark’ versions of themselves.
Of course, you are welcome to create dark AUs of your own characters, or simply have dark characters yourself--we don’t claim these concepts as our property. But they will not be affiliated with our group. If you want to interact with any of the members, you will have to read their individual rules to see if they allow such interactions, as while our group is an open one, some members have stricter rules of their own.
We’re changing the rules right now to make it clearer that this is a canon-only group, and are sorry that it wasn’t obvious to begin with.
Thank you for your interest! If there is any particular character still available that speaks to you, please let us know. We are also thinking of adding a "requested characters" list, for characters that our current members would like to see being played, if that would help provide possibilities or ideas for you. Either way, we are happy to provide brainstorming help! We hope to hear from you again soon.
Hello everyone! We’ve set up a quick poll to gauge interest for future group events. Since we didn’t want to clog up the poll with event explanations, we are writing up brief descriptions of the events here. The poll link will be posted in the group Skype chat, since all our members are currently a part of it. Please read this post before voting, however!
Here are the event ideas so far! Each one is a category in the poll we’ll be linking to the group chat.
Fears Event: All the muses are trapped in their worst nightmares, and must find a way to escape! You will submit your muse’s greatest fear(s) to us, and we will pair muses off accordingly so every muse is trapped with one other person. The resulting thread should be focused on facing and perhaps overcoming those fears, eventually leading to a way out of the waking nightmare.
Group-wide College AU: Exactly what it sounds like. All the muses attend the same school, pursuing various subjects, spread across grades, but all ending up in the same residency. Every other detail will be coordinated through the hub blog as we go along.
Other Group-wide AU: Have something in mind that you think everyone will find fun to do? Please suggest it to us! It will go on our list of considerations, and should future polls be conducted, it may be added in.
Humans Become Digimon: There’s been a glitch in the Digital World that’s resulted in the humans transforming into digimon! Frontier muses will be trapped in their Warrior forms, how it works for everyone else will be up for discussion.
Time Stream Mishap: The muses end up in a different time, and possibly a different place, from the modern world they know. Period suggestions will be welcomed.
Something Not Listed: We are very open to ideas! Please feel free to share any event thoughts that you think would be fun for the group to participate in.
I’d prefer no Group Events: If you’d rather we leave things to run their course without any additional content, that’s okay to say too.
We have added a page with a list of group member triggers. All common potential triggers should be adequately tagged, but please be mindful of these in particular.
We have made the decision to end the event early for a number of reasons. We apologize for the unfortunate circumstances, but hope you still enjoyed what was done. Thank you all so much for participating, or for watching it happen as it did. Though we are sorry to cancel the event, we are happy to have participated in this with you. Thank you again.

What’s this? A group-wide AU is about to commence!
Welcome...welcome to the world of Pokemon!
Ah, yes, the beautiful region of Digitalis! Home to both people and Pokemon aplenty, young trainers begin their journeys with the aid of Professor Hemlock. But trouble is brewing, as a group known only as Team Eclipse is growing in strength and numbers across the map. Their goal is currently unknown, their leader shrouded in mystery. Will anyone step forward to meet the challenge? Or will the region fall to darkness?
Participation:
~This event will run from April 3rd to May 17th, giving you a full six weeks to join in on the fun!
~Please send details of what you’d like your muse to be in our AU region to this blog’s ask box (here’s a link). By details, we mean their trainer class or gym leader/elite four type/number. You can also be a member of the evil organization! A post with this information will follow shortly, and be updated upon receiving each member’s requests.
~Tag all event-related posts with the tag #DD Pokemon AU so things are easier to keep track of. Please also follow the special event blog we’ve set up for this, Professor Hemlock!
~Submit your muse’s Pokemon team information to Professor Hemlock’s blog! Possible stuff to list here includes nicknames, genders, levels, moves, and natures. Having a sprite would be nice, too, but is not mandatory--only thing absolutely necessary is a team list. Get as detailed as you’d like! Once it’s been approved and posted, reblog it to your muse’s blog as well.
~If you’d like to make a trainer card for your muse, here is a good place to do so--this is totally optional.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
That’s how it was always supposed to be.
The lights of the digital world have been extinguished, leaving creatures of darkness in their wake. The protectors the digidestined once were are no more.
