Digivice 01

Functions[edit]

Original Concept

They are a “wearable” device and that word is in quotations because it does not come off. Blame my childhood love of OG Ben 10 (and Power Rangers Dino Thunder).

Begin with the appearance of a Digivice 01, but transforms into a slimmer “smart tech” forearm vambrace with a piece over the back of the hand, with custom colors and digi-code molded into it, and a more complex set of buttons. The buttons and screen remain in all forms.

The digivice begins as an amulet worn by the digimon from birth, and detaches from it’s tether/band/harness upon meeting their Chosen partner. The digimon keeps the old tether of the digivice, which is unique to each of them.

Has the ability to send and receive text messages and serve as telephones. The contact data for teammates (cohort members) is present from its emergence, but contacts of non-cohort Digidestined can be added manually.

The digivice does not come off so long as the bond between the Chosen One and Digimon exists.

Can be used to send commands to and communicate remotely with its associated Digimon.

When pointed at a Digimon, can be used to scan their data and view their stats (although this does not work on all Digimon, such as Arkadimon).

Can convert various objects to data (such as food or medicinal herbs) and upload them directly into the Digimon and preserve them to be used later. This only works on certain items.

When two are used, can both Jogress and Partition multiple Digimon together.

Channeling the emotional energy of the Chosen Child to:

->Evolve a Baby II Digimon into a Child Digimon,[5] or a Child Digimon into an Adult Digimon[6]

-> Super Evolve an Adult Digimon into a Perfect Digimon, using the energy of a Crest (either a physical Crest via a Tag,[7] or the power of one that resides within the Chosen Child[8])

->Warp Evolve or Ultimate Evolve a Child or Perfect Digimon into an Ultimate Digimon[9]

->Fuse two Digimon into an Ultimate Digimon[10] (very rare)

Opening Digital Gates via computers, to enter the Digital World at will.

Releasing its potent light energy to:

Repel or damage dark Digimon, and Digimon under the influence of a Black Gear;[11] can also purge Black Gears from Digimon entirely[12]

If a Digimon is repeatedly exposed to the light of Digivices, this can grant them the ability to evolve as well[13]

Power up the attacks of a holy Digimon[12]

Together with other Digivices, project a cage of light that can safely contain anything contained within it, including attacks from within[14]

Using built-in tracker functions to:

Can download terrain data from Terminals in the Digital World to acquire advanced maps that can be used to track one’s digimon, other cohort members and their digimon, set and mark a destination, and mark a hostile so long as it has been encountered before. In the Real World the range and detail of this map is comparatively limited.

React with a light and beeping noise to the presence of another Chosen Child nearby. When in the real world, the range of this feature is severely limited.[19]

Plot the locations of other nearby Digivices relative to the user as red dots on a simple map[19]

Analyzing and archiving data on any Digimon that the Digivice's owner has previously encountered.

Triggering a reaction with a Crest, enabling armor evolution

Displaying a digital clock which counts seconds, using a series of five bars to visually represent the passing of every ten seconds[21][N 2]

Receiving SOS messages from the owner's partner Digimon in the Digital World and sending them to the digimon in turn[22]

Send evolution data to other Digivices[23]

Here’s a little scene I wrote for the Digimon/Transformers crossover. Here’s some silly kid shenanigans with Starscream and Skyfire.

(For those new to the AU: Starscream and Skyfire are two Digidestined, and their Digimon are twins Seekermon nicknamed Skywarp and Thundercracker respectively. Details of the AU here)

"We got our crests!" Sky shouted with joy. "We actually did it! I wonder what mine means!"

"Let me see! Let me see!" Thundercracker shouted, jumping up to see it as well. Sky grinned with delight as he looked at the odd symbol carved into the purple slice of crystal. He traced his finger over the circle surrounded by two swirls.

"What do you think it is?" He said, angling it towards his digimon.
