### Major Villains

* Alphamon: (CV. Rikiya Koyama)
	+ MadLeomon: A malice-addled Digimon who has abandoned all reason in favor of his primal instincts to destroy and consume. Alphamon keeps him at his side like a pet, and like a loyal dog MadLeomon does whatever his master orders.
	+ Makuramon: A member of the Devas; twelve Digimon who held power during the rule of the Four Sovereigns. While most of the Devas have found their purpose elsewhere, Makuramon serves "the winning team," constantly turning his cloak to whoever he thinks has the upper hand. He is indispensable (or at least he believes he is) to Alphamon for his ability to open gates.
	+ Sanzomon > Shakamon: (CV. Sayaka Kinoshita) A wayfaring Digimon who strives to maintain balance in the Digital World. She has a habit of concealment, and occasionally will do things behind Alphamon's back that help the Chosen Children, but has reasons to remain in his good graces. Hyocomon was once a follower of Sanzomon, traveling across the digital world by her side.
* Datalyss: **Dataly**sis **S**chema **S**ystem. A parasitic digital lifeform that consists of millions of data packets which can reconstitute themselves into any form at will. It was created by Yggdrasil to carry out all digital world security functions in the event of system failure, however it has never been used and is highly unstable.
	+ Datalyss Labyrinth: The lowest level functions of Datalyss.
	+ Datalyss Throne: Datalyss' core.
	+ Datalyss Dominion: A space made by Datalyss.
	+ Datalyss Virtues: High-level servants of Datalyss.
	+ Datalyss Powers: Low-level servants of Datalyss.
	+ Datalyss Angel: A parasite that allows Datalyss to take the form of people/Digimon it has consumed.

## Concepts

		- Deadcode Greatwood: An area of the File Forest that has become unable to sustain life due to dead code. The only sign of life that pierces the Deadcode Greatwood is the radiation given off by the Urd Terminal.
		- Deep Net: A dark and cold trench in the Net Ocean that houses the Versandi Terminal.
		- Static Sands: A vast desert that captures drifting data, never to return it to the Net Ocean. The Skuld Terminal beneath the sands is protected by the Dex; an extremely hostile Digital Lifeform that absorbs Digicores to supplement its lack of one.
		- Datalyss (Human-0): The first entity to inhabit the Digital World. It was designed to scour human records for information, and using this information it exercised a great influence on the other beings that Yggdrasil created. Human-0's influence resulted in the near destruction of the Digital World by the Sovereigns, and it was shortly after taken out of commission due to its unstable behaviour. Yggdrasil repurposed Datalyss' extremely intelligent AI as a contingency and weapon to wield against the humans in the event that it became unable to operate at full capacity. The name Datalyss, given to the program by human beings, is an abbreviation of **Dataly**sis **S**chema **S**ystem.
		- Homeostasis (Human-2): The "god" of the Digital World. It is worshipped by many Digimon, and very few are capable of communicating with it directly; an honour reserved only for extremely powerful Holy-type Digimon like the Three Archangels and Holy Judge Shakamon. Homeostasis has no physical form, but it can take Digimon and Humans as hosts. Being Human-0's replacement, Homeostasis was designed to lack the qualities that lead to Human-0's malfunction. Homeostasis does not feel emotion, but it has been made intimately aware of the human condition through its research.
* Project Ark: Yggdrasil's solution to the Digital Hazard (the sudden rapid use of the Digital World's storage space by humans). It was aborted when humans attacked Yggdrasil with Apocalymon, but not until after it had resulted in the deletion of hundreds of thousands of innocent Digimon.
	+ Program X: A program released by Yggdrasil to delete Digimon and manmade architecture from the Digital World's Web and Server layers to mitigate the Digital Hazard.
	+ X-Antibody: A program that halted the effective implementation of Project Ark. It has a very simple function, falsely tagging a boolean within a Digimon's code that determines whether or not it is spared from Program X. It is unknown where the X-Antibody came from, but it affected many powerful Digimon. The Royal Knights were ordered by Yggdrasil to eliminate all carriers of the X-Antibody. Carriers of the X-Antibody often exhibit physical differences from their normal counterparts, but some species can carry it without any differences in appearance developing.
* MIDGARD Systems: A multi-billion dollar tech conglomerate that invested in Digital World research early and has become unbelievably influential and wealthy because of it. It created the DTS, Arc Academy, and has had its hands in almost every piece of technology released in the last few decades. MIDGARD works with several world government organizations.
	+ DTS: A vast portion of cyberspace claimed by MIDGARD. It inhabits the Server Layer of the Digital World. Anyone can travel into the DTS through DTS Portals scattered around the real world. The DTS has revolutionized almost every sector of society it has touched, but it has also introduced cyber security threats that did not exist on the internet prior to its invention.
	+ RTTSK: An instant messaging platform that MIDGARD created to allow communication in the DTS. Its most acclaimed feature is spontaneous text and voice translation within cyberspace. RTTSK-compatible earpieces are available, which allow the voice translation feature to be useable to a degree outside of the DTS.
	+ Digivice NPC: Devices given to prospective tamers at Arc Academy. They have a number of useful functions, including AAPs (Artificial Augmentation Protocols; programs that modify the skills of the user's Digimon partner) and a tracker for Gate positions.
	+ "dww." (Digital World Web): Addresses assigned to "sections" of the DTS that allow for fast, easy travel across cyberspace. Digital World Web addresses can by entered at DTS Portals to instantly travel to them instead of the DTS' local hub world.
	+ Arc Academy: A school founded by MIDGARD's researchers to share information gathered from and about the Digital World. Over its ~50 year lifetime, Arc Academy's facilities and scope have expanded. For around 40 years students are routinely partnered with Digimon recovered by MIDGARD from Gates to facilitate good relations between humans and the inhabitants of the Digital World.
		- E-class: The name used for students at Arc Academy designated as Chosen Children. E-class students are not required to pay tuition, and are entitled to special privileges in account of their unique situation.
	+ Nova Tree: A new kernel for the Digital World proposed by MIDGARD's R&D division in Japan, though it faded into obscurity as an unattainable goal. It is designed to reprogram and then replace Yggdrasil as the Digital World's host computer.
	+ Digimon Reference Book Project/TASK-A: A large-scale research project on Digimon conducted inside the Digital World some years past. The results of the research was published as the "Digimon Reference Book" but internally MIDGARD refers to it as TASK-A.
* Tamer Societies: Officially recognized organizations of humans with Digimon partners. Tamer Societies are given the authority to participate in fights against Digimon in the real world, and are often given special orders and bounties from MIDGARD.
* Bon particle: A microscopic particle discovered by Adeline Bon. Its existence allows biological and chemical information to exist as both data and physical matter, and switch between the two without degradation. Bon Particle converters are publicly available in the form of DTS Portals.
* Strange: An enigmatic coding language that the Digital World uses.
* Datalysis: A term used to describe the breakdown of digital lifeforms into data packets that can be used to construct new digital lifeforms. Alternatively called daemolysis, though datalysis is the preferred term in most public forums. Datalysis occurs constantly in places like the Net Ocean.
* Digimon: Abbreviation of **Digi**tal **Mon**sters. Digimon are a type of digital lifeform defined by the following traits:
	1. Evolution: Digimon begin life as Digitama (egg-like constructs where loose data packets assemble into a more meaningful form), and are capable of at least six further stages of evolution; Baby I, Baby II, Child, Adult, Perfect, and Ultimate. Other forms of evolution (Armor evolution, X-evolution, Jogress evolution, Fusion) are possible, but these six stages are possessed by all Digimon. Evolution can occur naturally over time, or be triggered by changes in environment, mental state, physiology, or human intervention.
	2. Digicore: A central program found in all Digimon which contains the nervous system of the Digimon. The Digicore stores memories and a type of artificial intelligence that simulates a sense of self and personality. The Digicore remains identical through every stage of evolution, and will break down via datalysis if they return to Digitama form ("death").

* Digital lifeform: Any AI-based lifeform where the term Digimon does not apply. All Digimon are digital lifeforms, but not all digital lifeforms are Digimon.
* Daemons: An old piece of terminology once used for all digital lifeforms. When the Digital World went public, it was largely replaced by the terms "Digimon" and "digital lifeform" but it still sees use occasionally.
* Gates: Naturally occurring portals between the Digital World and the real world. Gates can be forced open by a select few Digimon who share the ability to open them with the Three Terminals of the Digital World.
