1.2.1 Tomoki/Tommy Himi

I did enjoy Tommy’s original character arc from the series, but with that I really didn’t get a feel for how he was for the most part beside him wanting to become more independent. He simply falls into the little brother characterization for the majority of the show so I’d be fine maybe leaning on charisma for the most part.

I’m just gonna start with his Paladin subclass because I’ve had a hard time choosing anything for this boy, and I need a place to start. And I think Oath of Devotion is maybe the best fit for Tommy, really it's probably my favorite for Tommy. Most of the Devotion’s tenets reflect Tommy at the end of the series, and he was very devoted to his group for the majority of the runtime. He wanted to follow in Takuya’s footsteps to become braver and held himself to a high standard he thought matched what was expected of him as a Legendary Warrior. He was honest, he never feared to act even when faced with things he did fear, he wanted to protect others that couldn’t protect themselves, he acted in fairness when possible, and he’s “unwilling to simply stand around when he can help”. Really that’s maybe the best fit though I'd still like to mention Oath of the Ancients as a possible second option.

The only other charisma class that fits him even a little is maybe Bard, specifically any of them more focused on story telling than singing. Now I’m not saying that Tommy can’t be a hotting-and-hollering, but I think it doesn’t fit as well. College of Lore bards “know something about most things, collecting bits of knowledge” which I thought could work for Tommy because he was trying to grow into his own person throughout the original series. Another interesting one would be the College of Spirits - yes partly because hehe he uses a spirit - because they “seek tales with inherent power” which could fit with his whole self discovery thing. 

Something else I looked at was maybe Fighter to have him kinda reflect Takuya. Maybe a Rune Knight to give him magic adjacent abilities.

Really I don’t think any of the warlock subclasses fit him that well. The best one I could decide on was The Genie (Water) but none of them really had a focus on ice and winter.

When I was thinking about which race I should pick I really wanted to go with one of the larger races, mostly because Tommy has a growth spurt after canon events - according to the audio drama. I like him being a Firbolg, particularly because they’re often cow-like in their designs which remind me of AncientMegatheriummon (I know AMT is an Ancient Goat Thing but still). Though Goliaths have a natural resistance to cold damage that I think would be neat.

For his background I think him being a hermit would be interesting for Tommy if he was some kind of bard which could be why he’s trying to learn so much. Though if he was anything else I think him being an Artisan Merchant instead could be interesting it looking like his family was at least kinda well off - if I’m remembering correctly - and even him being an Artisan Bard could be interesting in that's how he started learning so much.

1.1.2 Chackmon

Chackmon embodiment of ice and maybe my least favorite of the human spirits. Though it’s still cute I always felt overwhelmed by Chackmon and its use in fights, but Fairimon is probably worse in fight uses but I like the fairy’s design more than the teddy bear. In its actual description - which is kinda all I have to go on with the spirits - it is stated that “Since it rarely acts of its own volition, it primarily operates in response to someone's requests or orders” and it also gets depressed if nobody gives it a job. Which is funny for something born from a giant goat. But it’s also “ its precision conduct in battle are genuine, and its survivalist knowledge also has a strong, truly reliable existence.” which I can use to pick something.

Obviously Gunslinger is an obvious choice for it as a fighter, but it is also an unofficial subclass but it still probably fits the best. Arcane Archer could be a good replacement, changing Chackmon’s gun into a bow. 

Ranger is the next thing I looked to because of the comment about it being a survivalist. Monster Slayer Conclave is a good choice if I was gonna make any of the spirits rangers. The description of Monster Slayers talks about how one’s dedicated to “hunting down creatures of the night and wielders of grim magic” which is exactly what the ancient warriors did to end up facing off with Lucemon. Beast master could be a fun choice since Chackmon was the most beast-like human spirit that was seen until the evil warriors were introduced. The last ranger subclass I looked at was the Hunter Conclave, and I think it could work if we look at it like how it acts - someone that wants to help with the biggest threats and always wants to be helpful.

I did end up looking at druids, but the only one that really caught my eye was Circle of the Land because it has arctic listed as an option for their circle spells.

I really don’t think any of the Sorcerer subclasses fit Chackmon. Wild Magic could be an option for a similar reason as above, it's the most beast-like out of the original five spirits, but that's a pretty big stretch.

Really I think its paladin subclasses are the same as Tommy’s. Oath of Devotion and Oath of the Ancients just fit Chackmon so well when looking at what makes Chackmon itself. Devotion is an understatement when it comes to Chackmon and its causes, as it literally feels depressed at the thought of not being useful. And Ancients is like how I’ve said it fits the others as well.

In terms of which race I’d make it, I really don’t know. I think it being a bugbear could be fun. Like with Firbolgs and Goliaths that are some of the largest races, and they’re considered a goblinoid which I think is funny. Hobgoblins are similar to Bugbears, but smaller and with a few extra fey abilities which feel like they may fit with Chackmon a little better. If I wanted to go a different path I could always make it a Werebear, and if I did that I could always make it some kind of Wood Elf, or Human.

I really think he could only be a soldier. Yeah there’s really not much else to say about Chackmon, it coded to be a soldier and gets sad if it’s not something useful. I think either scout or infantry would be the best specialty for it.

1.1.1 Takuya Kanbara 

Okay, Takuya while not my favorite was the leader and resident Goggle Head of Digimon Frontier, and while he wasn’t always portrayed as the smartest, leading a war is hard without some level of greater intelligence than hitting problems with raw power and nothing else, so intelligence was one of the biggest things for me. But he’s still very hot-headed and stubborn so his strength was also important. 

With that I was thinking about a few different ideas. Agnimon is classified as a wizard Digimon and the School of War Magic is a possible contender if I only wanted to focus on intelligence based classes, but I don’t think it fits the more hot headed nature of Takuya. 

Really I think fighter is maybe the best option with both Battle Master and Eldritch Knight striking my interest specifically. Battle Masters are people that think “combat is an academic field” which I think would fit someone like Kouji way more, but would still possibly fit with Takuya. But, I think Eldritch Knight is even more fitting. Eldritch Knight specifically “combines the martial mastery common to all fighters with a careful study of magic” which I think would fit him way more — partially because I’d like if he did have access to fire magic still. 

I thought about monks for a short time before deciding any monk subclass would probably fit Kouji or Agnimon more than Takuya, but Way of the Ascendant Dragon was what I was looking at for most of that time. 

For the Paladin subclasses I was looking at I think something like Oath of Glory might fit with Takuya, but Oath of the Ancients fits with I think all of the humans and spirits.

As a warlock The Genie (Fire) would fit the best no doubt, the only other option would maybe be Fiend but that feels so off from Agnimon or AncientGreymon that it feels wrong for Takuya.

His race was probably the easiest thing for me to pick out. I think Takuya should probably just be a human (specifically a variant human). I know it's the basic pick and I’m not gonna make any of the other kids human, but Takuya gives off plain old human vibes to me.  

For his background I really don’t really know, but I kinda think it would be funny if he was a noble. There are maybe a few others I’d prefer as a noble, but Takuya being one is kinda off the wall and could have narrative consequences. Obviously there’s also the soldier background that could also fit but I don’t know what his specialty would be.

1.1.2 Agnimon

Next the spirit embodiment of flames, Agnimon is a Fire Genasi. Yeah, there are a few others that could work like red dragonborns or some kind of elf - specifically a sun elf - but I think just like with Takuya being human, the most obvious choice feels right for it. 

Similar to Takuya, Agnimon was the leader of a group during a time of war, and thus is likely fairly intelligent. But unlike Takuya I think dexterity is also very important to keep in mind with its preference for “mental training with yoga exercises” and “using Oriental martial arts”.

With that, I really think Monk is the best choice for Agnimon. The Way of the Ascendant Dragon is fairly obvious for its connection to other dragon Digimon. Though Way of the Sun Soul could also be interesting as its soul (“DigiCore”) is surrounded by holy fire. 

Obviously, I mentioned that Agnimon is a wizard Digimon above in Takuya’s section, and while I do still think School of War Magic could work for it, School of Evocation could work just as well and give it easier access to most fire spells.

Also like Takuya I think a few of the Fighter subclasses might work like Champion or Battle Master. Battle Masters basically study combat which he would do during a war, and Champions “focuses on the development of raw physical power” which could fit someone who’s trying to defeat what is essentially a god.

Paladin isn’t something I’d blow off of Agnimon, I think it works better than Wizard does, but the only one I really feel works would be Oath of the Ancient.

I bet not one would ever be able to pick out which Sorcerer subclass would work best for Agnimon. Draconic Bloodline is I think the most common subclass for sorcerers - at least that I’ve seen - but really it’s the only one that fits besides maybe Divine Soul and that one really doesn’t fit it that well.

For its background soldier is the best option, once again the most obvious option feels the most right, and I think the Officer specialty fits it the best.
