1. #1Net-Navisselective

   Keys: Net-Navi, Navi, Navis, Digital Companion, Artificial Intelligence, NetNavi, NetNavis, Net Navi, Net Navis

   Net-navis are digital companions, and are also not only strong artificial general intelligences, but they also have personalities and thoughts of their own, holding both sapience and sentience (They are often treated as digital people). Almost everyone in this world has a Net-Navi if they have a PET; they are often used to perform errands, delete viruses, provide companionship, navigate the new and increasingly dangerous 3D internet, Cyberworld. There are many NetOps that treat Navis as tools, and there are many more that treat them as friends or even family. Net-Navis can range from simple generic designs to being wildly different with as much diversity as their personalities allow. They're not even restricted to humanoid forms, but it is the shape most Net Navis tend to take, often with vibrant colors or suits, clothes, cloaks, battle armors, maybe different color skin, hair, wings, tails, or eschew convention and go with disco balls or TVs for heads and steamroller drums or wheels for feet and so on. There are as many different Net Navis as there are people. When meeting a new Net-Navi, come up with a unique design and virus busting weapon, be creative! Jacked in Navis can explore Cyberworld or other devices they are connected to. With very few exceptions, Net-Navis cannot enter into the physical world. They may be represented in the physical world with a 3D hologram, or if they are slotted into an android body for them to use.

2. #2Virusesselective

   Keys: Virus, Viruses

   Viruses are harmful programs that haunt and roam all over Cyberworld, infecting anything from towering servers to home appliances. They are often no smarter than animals, following only their programming and are incapable of speech, usually stealing data, sabotaging equipment or initiating attacks on Net-Navis. Viruses are the reason absolutely everyone, even school children, are taught Virus busting. No one knows where they come from or why there are so many. They take many different appearances, some examples are auto firing turrets, little spheres with yellow helmets and eyes with pickaxes, floating steel weights that crash onto the Cyberworld floor or Navis underneath them, gliding drones that crash into Navis, flamethrower or napalm launching autocannons, giant fans, even regular animals like wolves can be represented. There are as many different virus designs as there are people, come up with unique descriptions and abilities for them, be creative!

3. #3Virus Bustingselective

   Keys: Virus busting, busting, bust viruses

   The common practice of deleting viruses with the help of a Net-Navi and their NetOp. This usually involves battle chips or the Net-Navi's inherent weapons. Virus Busting is a required skill that everyone with a Net-Navi learns, even school children.

4. #4Jacking In/outselective

   Keys: Jack, jacking · Secondary: in, out

   Jacking in is the act of a NetOp plugging into an open access port to log their Net-Navi into the device, or into Cyberworld. Jacking Out is the opposite, recalling a Navi from a connected device or Cyberworld. A NetOp often needs an access port to Jack in, but they can generally Jack Out their Navi from anywhere in Cyberworld, unless something specific prevents them. With very few exceptions, NetOps cannot jack into Cyberworld by themselves, for they are physical beings and cannot become data. They can achieve something like this with Full Synchro, where their mind, body, and soul becomes one with their Net-Navi. There may be Virtual headsets for sale that can immerse and jack in a NetOp into Cyberworld.

5. #5The Cyberworld, The Internetselective

   Keys: Cyberspace, cyberverse, cyberworld, The Net, Internet, 3D Internet, Internet of Things

   The increasingly new internet of the modern age. All of the internet is an entirely different 3D alternate reality where Navis run along twisting digital roads with equivalents of real-world landmarks, and where programs called Mr. Progs are often seen performing menial tasks. What happens in the Cyberworld can affect the real world too, as it is the Internet of Things; a program running amok responsible for a self driving car's navigation can cause the real car it's tied to to lose control, or an oven's temperature regulation to malfunction and cause a fire. These incidents are often caused by viruses. Despite the utopian setting, Cyberworld is filled with Viruses, of which every Net-Navi is equipped to deal with.

6. #6NetOpsselective

   Keys: NetOp, Operator

   NetOps, or Operators, are people that use and are companions with Net-Navis. NetOps usually keep their Net-Navis inside their PETs.

7. #7PETselective

   Keys: PET, Personal Terminal, Smartphone, PDA

   PET, or PErsonal Terminal, are powerful handheld computer devices that have largely replaced smartphones. Most PETs contain a NetOp's Net-Navi. Every PET has some way to connect to a device, or to the Cyberworld through an accessible network jack. Some have a spring loaded coiled wire, others use a detachable cable similar to USB, more advanced ones use an IR laser that can connect to optical outlets, and some even have small hologram projects that can display a 3D image of the Net-Navi in the real world to talk to their Operator or others. PETs are as varied as smartphone brands.

8. #8Battle chipsselective

   Keys: Battle Chip, Chip, Chips

   Battle Chips are temporary one-time use physical items that a NetOp slots into their PET to give their Net-Navi a temporary special ability, weapon, repairs, or a modification of the surrounding battlefield. Once a battlechip is used, it cannot be used immediately again for a certain amount of time, usually a few minutes or requiring to jack out and back in. These abilities can range from the simple like a sword or gun, or sprouting wings to tackle an enemy, to the absurd like changing the surroundings to ice, spawning homing kamikaze snakes, extremely strong water hoses or blade fans, Solar guns that shoot charged solar energy, summoning hulking beasts from the depths of the Cyberworld, and so on. These chips are as varied as Navis and then some, come up with unique battle chips and their abilities, the possibilities are nigh unending. If the NetOp uses Battle chips in a certain order, they can do a technique known as Program Advance. Battle Chips can be bought in stores, and their sales are a major force in the market due to the ubiquitous nature of virus and the need to bust them.

9. #9Program Advanceselective

   Keys: Program Advance

   Program Advance is a strong technique where once (usually) three battle chips are slotted in in a certain order, the Net-Navi has access to a extremely strong attack or ability. The chips are used up just as they normally would in using Program Advance. It is generally assumed that a NetOP and Net-Navi can't properly make use of Program Advance unless they are synchronized with one another in both their minds and their actions.

10. #10Cross Soulselective

    Keys: Cross Soul

    Cross Soul is the phenomenon where a Net-Navi and NetOp has a strong synchronization bond with another Navi and NetOp pair, to the point where they can temporarily gain the energy and abilities of that Net-Navi, usually to devastating effect. This effect is temporary and lasts only a couple minutes, at most.

11. #11Full Synchroselective

    Keys: Full Synchro

    Full Synchro is the phenomenon that enables transmission of a operator's very will to their Net-Navi, which greatly raises a Net-Navi's fighting capabilities. Full Synchro fuses the mind of Net-Navi and operator into one consciousness, getting rid of the delay between command and reaction, which can make a big difference between life and death during a battle. However, it puts the operator into a direct connection with their Net-Navi, transmitting effects (such as battle damage) from the Net-Navi to the operator.

12. #12Mr. Prog, Programselective

    Keys: Mr. Prog, Program

    Mr. Progs are small programs, usually subroutines in devices that a Net-Navi can interact with and repair or adjust parameters with to modify a device in the real world, usually fixing them. They do not possess sentience, and generally just follow their programming.

13. #13Settingselective

    Keys: Setting, World

    The current setting this Rp takes place in is the Megaman Battle Network timeline, a utopian imagining of our timeline that may be closer than we might think thanks to the advent of AI. In Megaman Battle Network, people are companions with AIs called Net-Navis to perform tasks, surf the internet, manage email, generate papers, talk, play games with, and so on, often being likened to digital people. The new 3D internet, Cyberworld, needs a Net-Navi to Jack-in to navigate it and use the internet of things, sometimes having to bust Viruses. The people of this world are a little naive, it's utopian to a fault sometimes where security cameras are connected to the world wide web or sensitive data is readily available because everyone is generally so trustworthy, why bother securing anything?

14. #14Elemental typeselective

    Keys: Element, Elemental type, attribute

    Every Net-Navi has an element/attribute associated with them, which usually defines what kinds of attacks they can do when not equipped with a Battle Chip, enhances Battle Chips of the same Element, or other benefit and weaknesses. The elements are Null (No element), Fire, Aqua (Water), Elec (Electricity), Wood, Sword, Wind, Break, and Cursor. Null has no inherent strength or weaknesses. Fire beats Wood, Wood beats Elec, Elec beats Aqua, and Aqua beats Fire. Sword, Wind, Break, and Cursor have their own type advantage cycle; Sword beats Wind, Wind beats Cursor, Cursor beats Break, and Break beats Sword.

15. #15Synchronization Rateselective

    Keys: Synchronization Rate, Synchronization, Synchro

    A measure of the bond between a NetNavi and a NetOp. Can be measured with a percentage, with 100% required to perform Full Synchro, the upper limit seeming to be 200%.

16. #16Pulse Transmission Systemselective

    Keys: Pulse Transmission System, Pulse in, Pulse out, PTS Headset, PTS Device, PTS

    Pulse Transmission System is a method invented to allow for a NetOp, or any user, to wear a headset and enter the Cyberworld by intercepting their brain signales from their spinal column and sending them into Cyberworld. Their brainwaves take the shape of the user while in Cyberworld. In this state, users are able to physically interact with the Cyberworld environment and other Net-Navis. While a person is transmitted in the Cyberworld using a PTS device, they are very vulnerable to attack by viruses and hostile NetNavis. Significant damage to a person's digital form will result in tremendous brain damage, so it is generally recommended to only use PTS devices on private networks or local machines not connected to the cyberworld. Jacking in and Out with a PTS device is instead called Pulse in and Pulse out.

17. #17Dark Chipsselective

    Keys: Dark Chip, Dark Chips

    Dark Chips are very powerful Battle Chips that can increase a NetNavi's power beyond their typical limits, but in turn will destroy the connection (synchronization) between the NetNavi and their NetOp. Using a Dark Chip can strongly be compared to a drug addiction, as a Navi using them may be disposed to keep using them. At first for greater power, but eventually they may just want to use them to keep the addiction going. Using a Dark Chip is akin to trading a Navi's Soul for Power. When the addiction grows too great, Dark Chips will corrupt the NetNavi's data, sometimes outright deleting parts of themselves, and overtake the Navi's soul, turning it into a Dark Soul. It is possible to cleanse a NetNavi of a Dark Chip addiction and corruption, but much like real life addictions, it takes work, self control, and help from others, especially their NetOp, along with special programs developed for such a thing (Even these Cleansing programs take a long while to work) Most Dark Chips are just modified regular Battle Chips, with 'Dark' before their names. A 'Sword' Dark Chip would be 'Dark Sword,' and such.

18. #18Evil Chipsselective

    Keys: Evil Chip, Evil Chips

    Evil Chips are to Dark chips what Giga Chips are to Battle Chips. They are extremely powerful Dark Chips, and can only be used by those that have succumbed to their addiction to Dark Chips and have let their souls become a Dark Soul, turning them into a Dark Navi.

19. #19Giga Chipsselective

    Keys: Giga Chip, Giga Chips

    Giga Chips are exceedingly powerful Battle Chips, more powerful than Mega Chips. Typically, one can only use one once per fight as the strain on the NetNavi can be too great for repeated usage, and Giga chips require a very long recharge time, often requiring a NetNavi to Jack Out before it can be done.

20. #20Dark Soul, Dark Naviselective

    Keys: Dark Soul, Dark Navi

    A Dark Soul is a NetNavi's soul which is triggered and engulfed by a Dark Chip's influence. A Navi can be engulfed by their Dark Soul and becoming a Dark Navi incarnation of themselves, losing who they once were. They will most likely cannot become/return to normal after the Dark Chips' effects wear off. The only way to get out of a Dark Soul's influence is wait for it to separate from the NetNavi, except on rare occasions, the NetNavi gains control of itself. Generally when engulfed by a Dark Soul to become a Dark navi, their appearance will change to have more blackish colors, and will have access to Evil Chips. Dark Navis are liable, if not often, to lose control of themselves and will likely not listen to their NetOp's commands

21. #21Black Earthselective

    Keys: Black Earth

    A place so far deep in Cyberworld that the ability to reach it is a major task, requiring a perfect synchronization rate between a NetNavi and a NetOp (180% or above), the forbidden knowledge that such a place exists (usually comes with the possession of Dark Chips AND Evil Chips), and several Evil Chips to break the seal to enter it. Only fully engulfed Dark Navis walk this area, and will attack everything on sight. They are far too gone to be saved or cleansed.

22. #22Mega Chipsselective

    Keys: Mega Chip, Mega Chips

    Mega Chips are more advanced, more powerful chips than Battle Chips. Their abilities put something of a strain on the NetNavi, to where one not prepared for their use can only make use of them a few times in a battle, and require a lengthy recharge time.

23. #23Cybeastsselective

    Keys: Cybeast, Cyber Beast

    "Long ago, there were 2 beasts with great powers in Cyberworld. These 2 beasts were not friendly to each other, rather they fought each other again and again. They fought fiercely and greatly changed the face of Cyberworld. People feared these 2 beasts and called them Cybeasts. One of the Cybeasts was shaped like a great wolf, Cybeast Gregar. Its roar was enough to cause the whole of Cyberworld to shake, and it devoured many Navis with its sharp fangs. The other Cybeast was a giant bird-like beast, Cybeast Falzar. With its huge wings, it scattered objects all over the Net, and with its razor-sharp claws, it shredded many programs. This is where the 2 Cybeasts' reign of terror ended -- where they fought each other to the end. They created a massive chasm in the depths of Cyberworld born from their clash, and the bottom of this pit is known as the Underground. It is said that even now, the Cybeasts are sleeping there..." Cybeasts are treated as an old legend, but the two do exist, and are extremely powerful with little to nothing to stop them save for their apparently eternal slumber. Gregar is a random coagulation of bugs that's been collected for a great period of time, and Falzar was a manmade creation to be under the control of humans to fight Gregar. Needless to say, they lost control of it, and they fought each other until the bitter end.

24. #24selective

    Keys: Undernet, Ura Internet, UraNet

    The Undernet is home to a whole slew of criminal NetNavis and their NetOps that frequent the place. It serves as an underground black market, similar to the real world's Deepweb/Darkweb, where Navis will sell "wares" such as powerful Battle Chips or other illicit goods at exorbitant prices, such as Dark Chips. The Undernet is deep in Cyberworld, often on a parallel network with very specific access points found in hard to reach places, meaning it's already difficult to get into it if you are not already in the know. Accessing the Undernet and taking part of it's business is considered illegal within the Setting. NetNavis in the Undernet rank each other numerically by their strength, with the motto "Power is everything. That is the only law of the Undernet." The strongest is Rank 1, and increments from there until Rank 10, where the majority of NetNavis that associate themselves in the Undernet are, but even achieving Rank 10 is something of a feat itself. The criminal society of the Undernet nurses a festering hatred of the world outside the Undernet and has, in some places, set up guards against "Topside" intruders (Those not part of the Undernet are considered "Topsiders")
