Blog:Figuring out the Canon of the Digital World

This is essentially me compiling everything we know about the Digital World to create a single "Canon" Digital World (What would be the Digital World for all of the virtual pets, as in theory, they would be our connection to our universe's Digital World, if it existed). I am not implying that the Digital World is a real place, just that if it was real, this is how it might be.

How it was Created
The most information we have on the Digital World (or at least a Digital World) comes from Digimon Adventure, Digimon Adventure 02 Digimon Adventure tri., and Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01 (Which although V-Tamer is a seperate universe from the Adventure universe, its Digital World seems to be either extremely similar to or exactly the same as the Adventure one). We know that these Digital Worlds were created by a being called God, which is either a human who created the Digital World using the Internet, or an actual omnipotent being that created both the Digital World and possibly the Real World (In V-Tamer, God is implied to be a human, whereas in Adventure, God is a true omnipotent being). If God is human, it means the Digital World is a relatively recent creation, but if God is an actual god, it means the Digital World probably has existed just as long as the Real World. Although our Digital World being made by a human makes sense, seeing as the Digimon franchise was made by humans, I think that our Digital World would have been created by an actual god, possibly around the same time as the Real World. This means that the reason that so many Digimon are based on mythology is either because all Digimon were indirectly created by humans from their imaginations, or because those Digimon would have appeared in our World in the past. The thing is that although the Digital World in Adventure states that Digimon come from the imaginations of humans, it's more likely that in our universe, Digimon were created first and then appeared in the Real World, creating those myths and legends, with more recent Digimon being created by humans from data, whether directly or indirectly. The Digital World would definitely be some sort of alternate dimension or plane of existence, with the "Main" Digital World occupying the same space as Earth.

Who Governs it
Next, let's talk about the beings that oversee the Digital World. These beings are the Digital World's "King" and host computer, King Drasil, and the one who keeps King Drasil in check, Homeostasis. We know that King Drasil was created to oversee the Digital World, and acts as a supercomputer that manages the Digital World along with its servants, the "Royal Knights". Homeostasis' job is unclear other than it acting as the one who steps in when King Drasil does something that conflicts with God's will, but I believe it has another role, which is to keep the Digital and Real Worlds in balance with one another, making decisions on what to do when the Digital World is in danger. God's only purpose, then, is to create Digimon, which ever since the Internet (Which would most likely exist on the border between the Digital and Real Worlds) was created, God has most likely been using the Internet and human imagination to create Digimon. King Drasil, being what literally keeps the Digital World running, would have been God's first creation, being what generates the Digital World and the Digimon and other Digital Lifeforms that live in it. Homeostasis was most likely created after the Ancient Digital World fell to ruin, due in part to Lucemon, but probably because of something King Drasil did as well.

History
Here's what we know: The Digital World is created by God, alongside the Real World (It's unclear whether God created the Real World as well or if it just created the Digital World), with the first thing created being King Drasil, which acts as the host computer that generates the Digital World. God then creates the Digimon of the Ancient Digital World, most likely starting out as Fresh Digimon and progressively digivolving into more ancient Digimon, such as Veedramon, the Ten Legendary Warriors, Pharaohmon, and possibly Dracomon, along with many others. The Ancient Digital World rises, prospers, then falls into chaos. God then creates the Angel Digimon, with the first being Lucemon, who God, in a rare case of actually interfering, sends down to bring order to the Ancient Digital World. Next comes the first instance of the Celestial Digimon, Seraphimon, Ophanimon, and Cherubimon (Good). Lucemon does his job, helping King Drasil keep the Ancient Digital World in order, but eventually (possibly due to something King Drasil did), Lucemon starts a rebellion, along with the original Celestial Digimon, who "fall" and become ShadowSeraphimon, Ophanimon Falldown Mode, and Cherubimon (Evil). The rebellion fails (thanks in part to the Ten Legendary Warriors), resulting in Lucemon, the original Celestial Digimon, and the Angel Digimon who sided with them to be banished to the Dark Area. Lucemon takes in the negative energy of the Dark Area to become Lucemon Chaos Mode, ShadowSeraphimon, Ophanimon Falldown Mode, and Cherubimon (Evil) fall further, with ShadowSeraphimon becoming Daemon, Ophanimon Falldown Mode becoming Laylamon, and Cherubimon (Evil) becoming either Belphemon Rage Mode or Leviamon. The Ancient Digital World falls into ruin because of the rebellion, and most of the Ancient Digimon are destroyed, with the Ten Legendary Warriors turning into the Spirits of Flame, Light, Wind, Thunder, Ice, Darkness, Water, Wood, Earth, and Steel. The few remaining Ancient Digimon develop violent Overwrites, causing them to die off, though some of them are reincanated as Digimon like Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon. God creates a new set of Celestial Digimon. the Digital World experiences a long period of peace, though occasionally the boundary between the Digital and Real Worlds wavers, allowing some Digimon to temporarily enter the Real World, and some humans temporarily enter the Digital World. Ages pass, and humanity advances, until eventually they create the Internet, unknowingly building it on the boundary between the two worlds. God uses the Internet and human imaginations to create new Digimon, which end up on the internet, are found by humans, and their data is used to create AATO Digimon (or Digimon created for V-pets), and the Digimon franchise is created). There's some communication between the Digital World and select groups of people in the Real World, and Hackers, either knowingly or unknowingly, create their own Digimon. Eventually the Digital World becomes so full that King Drasil is unable to keep it in check, and creates Project Arc and the New Digital World as a way to keep the Digital World from being destroyed. The original Digital World is essentially pushed out of its shared space with Earth and the New Digital World is put in its place, though the old one still exists, but is quarantined due to the X-Program being at unsafe levels. Something similar to the events of Digimon Chronicle occurs, though possibly without human interference. Ten years later, the events of Digimon Chronicle X occur, though without Kōta Doumoto and Yūji Musha. The Pendulum Z, then, Depicts the events occuring afterwards, in the New Digital World.
