Thomas J. Ashford
Name: Thomas J. Ashford
Nickname: whatever they decide to call him I guess, though his 'partner' calls him "Taishou", meaning General.
Age: 17
Gender: male
Ethnicity:Eurasian
Height: 6'1
Weight:147lbs
Alignment: neutrally undecided
Birth Date: Febuary 26
Birth Place: Wales
Relatives: Mr. and Mrs Ashford(names undecided), perhaps some siblings(again, undecided)
Personality:
Thomas, to most people at least, looks like your average seventeen year old male; he gets average grades at the boarding school he goes to, hangs out with his friends, etcetera, but all of the is little more than a facade. In truth, he is simply going through the motions of being alive. Though he seems to laugh and smile with his friends, get angry when he stubs his toe(which happens fairly often, almost once a week at times), and so on, this is all just a mask that he wears to fit in with others. The only overt evidence of this when he's out in public is that his eyes seem empty, though if someone pays enough attention, they'd be able to see that something's off about him.
When alone, or rather when he believes himself to be so, his true self comes out; his features grow blank and unreadable, his eyes become completely empty, and all semblance of life seems to completely drain from him. In the past, he used to be a much happier person, but as he grew older and was exposed to more and more influences, his emotional range dwindled further and further and he grew more cynical until he reached his current state. That's not to say that he doesn't have emotions, they're just severely subdued compared to most other people. His false emotions can still be seen through if one takes the time to study his movements and mannerisms, seeing that they are stiff and, some would say, mechanical at times; it is unknown if his friends at school think he's normal, of if they see through his disguise and are only humoring him.
Appearance:
Thomas is an average looking 17 year old male from a wealthy family. He stands about 6'1 and 132lbs. He has a somewhat slender build, and his features and mannerisms change when he's aware of someone else being around. When around others, he looks and acts much like a normal person, laughing and joking with others, seeming to be an ordinary enough person, perhaps even a little too average, even his voice seems normal. The only exception to his mask is his eyes, even though they appear appropriate to the situation, when one looks at them, they appear empty. This almost all changes when he's alone. As stated above, everything about him dulls, making him seem empty and lifeless, a hollow shell of a human being.
*Ahem* Clothing wise, Thomas wears his school uniform when needed, a blue blazer with the school emblem on it and slacks over a white collared button-up shirt with black shoes(no trainers though). However, the rest of the time, he wears a black suit and tie with a silver pocket watch and black boots. Though the pocket watch has no design on it, nor does it have any special attachment to him, Thomas is never seen without it. Like any self-respecting fictional character, he has about a thousand copies of the exact same outfit.
History:
It was about 17 years ago in the spring that Thomas was born in the countryside of Wales. Though he had an average, almost completely uneventful upbringing, with only the occasional minor mishap, Thomas was never able to truly be normal. Ever since he was young, he was always one of the brightest in his group, this might have been what prevented him from ever truly fitting in. It also could have been his limited social interaction after he left elementary school.
Through out his childhood and adolescence, Thomas was trained in several different arts beyond his typical schooling via private tutors his father 'arranged for'(read: forced on) him. He learned, among other things, to play the Violin, Cello, Piano, and the Hurdy Gurdy. He was also trained in martial(aka, practical) Fencing, and such as he grew older. One thing of note is that the room adjacent to his at his home(not his dorm) is occupied solely by a large super computer assembled from commercially available parts for Thomas's personal use. When away from home, he connects to it from his mobile. Because of this vulnerability, it's loaded with top of the line firewalls.
The original form of the computer was an old Japanese model that Thomas believes to have been used in AI creation projects in the mid '80s. Among the failed projects was a handful of working early AI. The most advanced of them was one entitled 'Digital Monsters'; what, if any, direct connection to the actual digital world is unknown.
Anywho, onto his actual history, Thomas lived fairly well off in California, where he grew up, though he was born in Wales, just before he entered elementary school, his family moved to California. After graduation from his elementary school, he was given a choice by his father: continue his schooling where he was, or study internationally. He chose to study abroad, and after a few days deliberation, he was off to Japan. When he arrived, he initially had trouble adapting given the culture difference, the language barrier, the more difficult school, as well as having to return to elementary school, as Japan's school system is split up 6-3-3, as opposed to America's 5-3-4. It was about this time that Thomas came into possession of his Computer, having found it lying in a pile of trash on the side of the road, though parts were hard to get, he eventually got it running with generous help from his teachers(who actually know a few things about computers), and helped spur his interest in computers.

(Any extra things that you didn't tell us about your character go here. What is he/she skilled in? Just a sentence or two would suffice.)

____________________________________
Digimon: Ryudamon(called Rion)
Gender: Digimon technically have no gender, though this one acts, and sounds female, and is therefor as female as a digimon could be.
Personality: Similar to her partner, Rion's emotional range is somewhat small, though not to such an exaggerated sense. She can be somewhat childish and confrontational in her earlier stages, especially her child form, and will typically get into an argument over the smallest of things, even with her Taishou. However, in battle, she shows her true colors by following his commands to the best of her abilities. In her Adult and Perfect stages, which have been redesigned for combat, her intelligence has been limited, but her combat abilities have been heightened, though the reduction in intelligence is most pronounced in the Adult stage, and begins to bounce back in the Perfect stage.
By the time it reaches it's ultimate stage, Rion has recovered and even surpassed her prior intellegence, though no one can explain how she goes from a dragon-esque cyborg Digimon to a Bestial Cyborg Digimon is unknown, though it may possibly be due, at least in part, to the increased stability of a quadripedal design verses a bipedal design.
