dmxratedSorry this entry is so late. The cable went out last night due to the snowstorm, and all of us had to pitch in and shovel the entire driveway. The snow was three feet deep, but Bob and Janie Hartwell eventually came with their snow plow and cleared the end of the driveway up.
Anyway, here's exactly what the title of this entry says. I'm also including the two canon Knights here, because there is stuff I've thought up for them, as well as what's known canonically about them. Ages are shown according to the first fic, which takes place two years after the anime ends. I did show these to Jake yesterday, hoping to get some ideas or thoughts from him. He had none, but his ideas are welcome anytime (ditto for Chelle). I am not going to make lists of spells that each Knight can use; since Jake came up with his fic-counterpart Drake's set of spells, I'm gonna need him to come up with some for everyone else, for the sake of consistency.
Mondo Ohya
Age: 13
Element: Fire
Weapon: Excalibur
Also still carries that grappling hand that he had in the anime, though this might become something else along the way.
Personality: The optimistic hero of the series. Very athletic. Also has a habit of flirting with other girls, which his girlfriend Rockna flies off the handle about. Generally kind to people, and believes in friendship. Afraid of vampires and other undead beings. During his time at the Cult of McKnight, he also forms particularly strong relationships with Derek and Anneth.
Background: Always dreamed of having adventures in Mon World. Most people in his world passed those dreams off as fantasy, and Rockna used to be one of them, until the two of them actually experienced it for the first time. Little does he know, though, that he is actually the son of the gods Ceng and Bhenq, who had sent him to Man World to prove himself a saint. Hence, his superhuman strength and agility, as well as the tiny, bandage-patched gem on his forehead.
Rokuna "Rockna" Hiragi
Age: 13
Element: Light
Weapon: Acolyte (double-handed staff)
Also still has her ribbon, which she used periodically in the anime.
Personality: Mondo’s girlfriend. Mostly cheerful and kind, but loses her temper easily (particularly when Mondo hits up on girls). Enjoys painting, fairy tales, pink things, and cooking (the last which she sucks at). Afraid of frogs. Very conscientious about keeping her house together, though she resents the fact that her father and Mondo never do their share of housework. Currently, her active sixth sense has been a bit of a problem, but mainly in crowded places where people give off their auras.
Background: Her father, Ichirobei, is the scientist who created the Utopian Eagle and ventured into Mon World. The first time going there, she met someone who had unlocked her sixth sense, which she has trouble handling but would have perished inside the Dread Dragon without. Her mother Midori, and her brother Katsuo, had been gone for many years, but returned shortly after she and Mondo returned to Man World after their battle against Redda and Oroboros. Currently, fellow empath Professor David McKnight is willing to help her overcome these, as he is able to cope with crowded places after living most of his life in the city.
It should also be noted that before her birth, her father had performed some kind of genetic modification upon her, so that her offspring would stand out for the sake of attracting guys and eventually passing her genes as a Knight even further down. As for herself, her parents have planned for her to marry Mondo, the boy who had been born from the gods, and are the ones who introduced her to him much earlier on. She was told about the arrangements earlier in life, and encouraged her to build as much of a friendship with him as possible while she’s young, which is one of the reasons she assaults him for his acts of fickleness, rather than simply dumping him. (Katsuo, despite being Rockna’s twin, received no genetic tampering, and is free to choose his own relationships.)
(Chelle has specified that Midori had been a bitch and simply divorced Ichirobei and left. Not sure whether this is canon or not, which it probably is, since he knows so much about the series. It was confirmed in the manga, although she does make a cameo a while *after* it’s specified. However, whoever wrote the now-deleted fanfic Whisper claimed that she was dead, and I came up with the idea years ago that she would be an anthropologist who had spent a number of years in New York City.)
Katsuo Hiragi
Age: 13
Element: Darkness
Weapon: Menacer (uzi; bullet clips can be created magically or obtained physically.)
Also carries a similar device to Rockna’s ribbon, consisting of a chain on a steel rod, which he swings much more forcefully.
Personality: Very bitter and even more misogynistic. Upon returning from New York, he is somewhat friendly with Mondo and Rockna, but doesn’t approve of her assaults upon Mondo. He encourages Mondo to stand up for himself, and is not fazed by Rockna’s ghost-light trick (which she used in the first anime episode, dub-deleted). Had developed a taste for rap music, from having lived in NYC, and Mondo in turn also enjoyed this. Resents having been thrust by his own family into the Cult of McKnight, and believes it to be a form of exploitation.
Background: When his family split up, he moved with his mother, Midori, to New York City. There, he had suffered various social problems both at school and at home, which he blames girls for. The bullying he faced started when a former girlfriend splashed him with soda on a date they were on, and then dumped him, and he had not gotten along with his mother very well. Eventually, he joined a gang of youths, and with their help, took revenge on girls by capturing them and subjecting them to various horrible things if either he remembered them as a former tormentor or they refused to rat on anyone else. After this had come to Midori’s attention, this had become the reason for them returning to Japan.
Ryo Kayami (dropped)
Age: 13
Element: Darkness
Weapon: Soul Breaker (another uzi; might be similar to or different from the Menacer.)
Personality: Has a sense of humor, but also talks about issues that bother him.
Background: Used to be a cohort of former bully Takeshi Okimichi, before landing him in prison and making friends with Mondo and Rockna. His family is dysfunctional and does not get along very well. Wished he could join the Knights on their adventures, and will be glad to be recruited into the Cult of McKnight after Rockna’s brother Katsuo betrays them.
(This character had appeared (unnamed) at the beginning of episode Sheep Trick (shown making the two "peace" signs), after having placed a frog on Rockna's desk. Also, whatever went on involving the four of them still has yet to be redefined. As Chelle said, Rockna and a Hard Place only makes Rockna out of character.)
Attiya Muqsit
Age: 12
Element: Water
Weapon: Serpent Knife
Personality: Carefree, with a touch of a temper. Doesn’t rely on contact with living things, and does just as well on her own… emotionally, that is.
Background: Her real family moves constantly, causing her much agony as they move from place to place. She barely has time to settle down and make friends in one school before leaping to the next. It has become a ritual on starting fresh, with a new story in hand every time. This has led her to become an increasingly compulsive liar. Her family has finally eased up, though, and settled at NYC permanently.
Davis Kibbit
Age: 12
Element: Earth
Weapon: Diamond Gauntlet
Personality: Helpful, bright, and always willing to lend a hand, the one person you would want in a party. Always prepared for battle, keeping the right amount of items for the job.
Background: Your casual gamer, growing up with many a good game, but none appealed to him like the real-life quest that awaited the Mon Colle Knights. His school and home life were easy, but like Mondo, he wanted some kind of adventure in his life.
Anneth Mackenzie
Age: 11
Element: Wind
Weapon: Gale Flag
Personality: She is complicated and sheilded, a whistful dreamer with a charming smile. Anneth has an inate ability to surprise people, but is strangely predictable when you analyze her long enough. Close friends are few but congenial, with Mondo and Drake becoming two of the most notable; aquaintances are many.
Background: When her parents were alive, her father was a restaurant manager, and her mother was a teacher. One night, when she, her parents, and her brother Willis, went out for ice cream, her father was killed by a drunk driver.
Drake Bolak
Age: 13
Element: Metal (Fire/Earth)
Weapon: Metal Impact (warhammer)
Personality: Drake isn't too talkative, for the most part, but that's because he is used to doing things his way. Being one of the most studious children of the schools he went to, he prefers to speak whenever the others need information about such things, and tends to note down information about Mon World in case it's needed. When he's in a mission, however, he relies completely in his teammates to cover the things he cannot - being aligned to the most defensive of elements, he is not very good at attacking, yet the strength he reveals during his attacks is surprising, not being uncommon for him to cause environmental damage as often as his attacks let. He's not very reckless, however; it's simply that he can't change the path of his own attacks. Due to this, he prefers to fight as least as possible, keeping the others protected. Thankfully, his own toughness - related to his element - helps him with that; he can take far more damage than his frame would belie.
With the other Knights, he's mostly friendly towards Elena, Rachael, Jamison, and Anneth, tending to work together with Elena and Jamison the best. His relationship with Mondo is poor, preferring to keep his distance from him, and he tends to listen to the others when it comes to being ordered around. He doesn't get along very well with those of similar elements as he, surprisingly.
(My friend Jake is the one who thought up this character's entire profile, save for a background. Credit goes to him for that.)
Jamison Russell
Age: 11
Element: Thunder (Fire/Wind)
Weapon: Voltslicer (chainsaw, which can be recharged or activated with either his magical energy or by conventional means.)
Personality: Mainly loud, happy, and lets things roll off his shoulders. He can get a bit touchy at times, and when angry, he doesn’t back down. He’s quite intelligent.
Background: Nothing special, just a regular kid who was friends with Derek’s brother Ryan. Joined when he picked up on what the Cult of McKnight was all about.
Elena Hatch
Age: 13
Element: Nature (Water/Earth)
Weapon: Thorn Whip
Personality:Elena enjoys being alone, but doesn't mind interacting with other children, as long as they're friendly and polite. She is rather quiet and reserved, and doesn't like confronting or arguing with other people. She is amiable and patient in most cases, but can lose her temper when she perceives something to be unfair. Rude or mean people consist of those she would rather not interact with.
(Edit 5/8/10: Actually, I'd see this girl as more cheerful and outgoing, rather than quite and reserved. Gonna have to modify the above paragraph at some point.)
Background: Elena was always one of the top students in school, always performing at an exemplary rate, to the detriment of her classmates, who did not like her being so better than them at such, and a degree of ostracism was exerted on her; however, despite the pain, she ignored their actions and kept on being the best, which limited her friends. Learned about the Cult of McKnight from her friend Drake, and joined with him.
Rachael Theune
Age: 11
Element: Frost (Water/Wind)
Weapon: Arctic Haloes
Personality: Quiet, but is angered easily. Knows Anneth’s younger brother Willis, and returns his affection because she always wanted a younger brother. However, this eventually becomes more than just friendship.
Background: Her parents were killed in a car accident, and she grew up in a foster family who constantly reminded her that she wasn't a member of their family, just someone staying with them until she grew up.
Kasumi McKnight
Age: 13
Element: Time
Weapon: Eternus (Pocket watch. Because she can't fight physically with this, she also carries a nightstick, which will eventually transform into the Time Sword.)
Personality: A cheerful, laidback girl, willing to go along with the flow yet also strong-minded enough to do the right thing over the easy one, relying on her sense of right and wrong to make her decisions. She is very friendly towards others, although the fact that puberty hit her early has affected her relationships towards boys strongly; in particular, she has some difficulty suppressing her perverted urges. She also has a crush on Mondo, partially due to his appearance and partially due to his attitude as a hero, although she disapproves of his perverted acts.
Background: The daughter of Professor David McKnight, who doubled as the leader of a cult known as the Mon Colle Knights. She was urged by her father to join his cult, despite her initial wishes to remain as a normal schoolgirl, but she eventually came to terms with it as her Mystic Gene was activated and she gained her powers. Unlike Katsuo, she has no qualms with the duty given to her.
Derek Ledger (self-insert w/ modified name)
Age: 13
Element: Space (counterpart to Time)
Weapon: Star Shield
Personality: An autistic, laidback boy who likes video games and prefers to keep to himself most of the time. When allowed, he has a tendency to wander around aimlessly. Despite his lack of social initiative, he is physically attracted to the girls in the group, especially Anneth. He has also become good friends with Mondo during his time there.
Background: Had known Anneth from summer camp a year ago, and joined the team just to be around her. At school, he is guided by an aide, who makes sure he is staying on track. Used to go to weekly sessions at a program called Group, where he met someone named Matthew, who had since become the only person he often actually interacts with.

Tomorrow, I'm going to describe a solution I came up with for the 14th of this month, and also something about Digimon Royale that I'd like to bring up. (Chelle, don't worry; this won't be entirely about growth, in case you're worried about that, and I will cut the stuff about that if you'd like me to.)
Anyway, here's exactly what the title of this entry says. I'm also including the two canon Knights here, because there is stuff I've thought up for them, as well as what's known canonically about them.
