SITE RELATED.
✖ When does GATES take place?
The year 2032, however not much has advanced technologically so no worries about that.
✖ Where does GATES take place?
At a summer camp in Odaiba, Japan and the Digital World. Your character is either in Odaiba due to an exchange program, visiting friends or family, or currently living there. If you can think of another way to get your character in Odaiba that's fine too!
✖ Do I have to have watched DIGIMON to join the site?
If you’re interested in playing a CHOSEN HEIR you’ll probably have to in order to know some things about the parents. While it’s preferred that you have some knowledge of digimon you can learn about it by visiting the wiki and see the different types of digimon here.
If you want to watch digimon you can visit this site.
✖ What season of DIGIMON is GATES most relevant to?
The GATES roleplay takes place after Season 2. Anything from Season 3 onwards is irrelevant to this roleplay.
✖ What model of digivice does GATES use?
The D3 which can be viewed here.
✖ Do all the staff members know each other? It seems like they do…
Yes, the staff members are all close friends that have roleplayed with each other for a long time.
✖ A member is harassing me… what do I do?
Kill them and hide the body Contact a staff member VIA private message and we’ll be sure to take care of it for you. Please don’t hesitate on telling us if someone is bothering you. We want you to be as comfortable and happy here as possible.
✖ How often to I have to post to be considered ‘active’?
Once a week. No if, ands, or buts. If you’re going to be impossibly busy or absent please notify us in the hellos & goodbyes forum. If you can’t keep up with a thread then just drop your character so peope aren’t waiting on you.
DIGIMON PARTNERS.
✖ Do I pick my own digimon?
No. The reason for this is because it’s canon. None of the digidestined got to choose their digimon partners, so we’ll be picking one that best ‘suits’ your character. By this we’ll look at a character and their personality and see what matches them best. For example, Sora got paired with a Biyomon versus a Falcomon even though they’re both avian digimon. Biyomon just seemed to suit her better. Besides if everyone was choosing their own digimon we’d end up with 400 Lopmons. Your partner will be chosen amongst two or three staff members. We spend a lot of time on this ☺ However if you dislike it, let staff know and we will pick our second choice for you. You either get one or another and it’s really annoying for staff to go through so please refrain from doing this.
✖ Can I use a made-up digimon?
No. Why? We’ve seen a lot of terrible things happen with made-up digimon enabled so we have our reasons. Also there is no way for the staff to gauge how strong these digimon could be. Not to mention other members will have a harder time caring about made-up digimon.
✖ Does this site use nicknames for their digimon?
Though the decision would be up to your character, we don’t really encourage this. We want the roleplaying experience to feel as canon as possible. The thing we’ve noticed with naming digimon is that it makes people who dislike naming their digimon feel obligated to. It’s a rather awkward experience for one tamer to go “Let’s go, Fido!” and the other to go “Yeah come on, Agumon!”
✖ Can someone else play my character's digimon partner (vice versa)?Yes, More information can be found here.
✖ Can my character have more than one Digimon partner?
No. You can by all means ally with another digimon, but they cannot become your partner.
✖ How do I get a DARK digimon?
They are chosen for you by staff.
✖ What happens if my character’s digimon dies?
Their data is reconfigured and they are transformed into a digi-egg. You must go to primary village to hatch them back into their baby levels and decide when they evolve back into their rookie levels.
DIGIVOLUTION.
✖ What is –insert digivolution method here-?
Look here for all explanations and types of digivolution.
✖ What digivolutions are available on GATES?
baby, in-training, rookie, champion, armor, DNA, ultimate, mega.
✖ Do I have control over my digimon’s evolution line?
Yes but you must abide by the restricted digimon list. There are two different lists depending on your character's ranking.
For CHOSEN HEIRS only. For EVERYONE ELSE.
✖ When does my digimon de-digivolve?
When they run out of energy and/or they are transported to the human world (if a chosen heir/digidestined partner).
✖ How long can my digimon stay in its Champion, Ultimate, or Mega state?
Whenever the thread is passed or they get the tar beat out of them. Please don’t abuse this, we’ll been keeping an eye on threads like this.
✖ Can my digimon digivolve in a different way if my character does something uncharacteristic? (ex. Greymon when he becomes Skullgreymon.)
If you want this to happen contact staff first so we may approve that the roleplay calls for a dark digivolution. Also this would be a one-time thing.
✖ Can digimon digivolve on command?
Yes, as long as they have the amount of posts required for evolution.
CHARACTER RELATED.
✖ Can I use my real name for my human character?
If you do we’ll add you on facebook ☺ (No. It's Mary-Sueish.)
✖ Does my character HAVE to have a faceclaim?
Yes.
✖ How many characters may I have?
You may only have four until you reach 30 in-character posts in total. For every 30 posts you may make one character, but please be sure to give your other characters love. Also, only one chosen heir per person.
✖ Do I HAVE to make a tracker for my character?
Human characters must so we may see the digivolutions of their digimon to make sure you won’t be evolving them into SUPER ULTRA MEGAMON later. Digimon characters do not have to.
✖ How young/old can my digidestined be?
6-26 years old.
✖ Does my character age in the digital world?
No.
✖ Can my character die in the digital world?

ITEM RELATED.
✖ What is a crest/armor egg?
See here & here.
✖ How and when does my character earn a crest/armor-egg?
Not only will staff members be monitoring your threads to make sure you're roleplaying creatively, but we will have a form members can fill out to nominate your character for the earning of his or her crest and armor egg.
WORLD RELATED.
✖ Can you travel back and forth between the real and digital world?
Only humans and shepherd digimon may travel back and forth between the real and digital world. To do this you must hold your digivice to a screen of any type (computer monitor, television, gameboy, etc.) and you will be transported to the real world. The digimon can just leap through the screen.
✖ What if my character is from [insert country here] and only speaks [insert language here]? How will they communicate?
Everyone in the digital world speaks in digital code and the language barrier is broken. Though there are some cases of accents that are passed over from the real world, everyone can understand each other.
✖ Can you bring your digimon partner into the real world if you are a digidestined/chosen heir?
Yes but they must de-digivolve into their the form lower than their default (champion > rookie: rookie > in-training) until they find the strength to digivolve once again. If your character reaches the rank of 'champion' then your digimon may stay in its rookie form in the real world.
