Heya. Im Lord Gallant. As you can probably somewhat guess, Gallantmon himself is my favorite character. I have a strong pull towards Dragon's Roar, and Virus Busters Digimon, a fad most guys have.

I grew up with the original Digimon Adventure the one that aired in America/Canada. I even had my very own digivice, altho back in the day the Digimon we now know and love was much simpler...

My brother and I were the coolest kids in Elementary, lugging around these hip "gadget" bricks that my brother and I had yet to understand was the beginning of the Digimon era. I was never good with Digimon raising, the digimon that always came from my blue colored brick always ending up a slime with two eyeballs, one of the most repulsive things at that point I had known, which turned out later to be one of the most controversial digimon around my parts, Numemon... back then the digimon didnt have names yet, and they were scarecly known. While my younger brother almost always managed a greymon family tree digimon from his red brick, only back then we called him "Dinodude" since I didnt know the dino's true name. My brother and I would battle our digimon together, my slime often losing to his dinosaur... I still enjoyed trying to improve my slime, trying to get a better monster out of it...

In a way we were DigiDestined seeing as how it seemed we were the only kids from 5 school divisions in my city to own these "bricks" which then underwent a change. Digivice was born. Obviously the lil schoolyard item that made us so cool in school had been picked up, it was becoming a phenomenon. Needless to say, when a phenomenon occurs and you've got a part of it, people want. Inevitable to say mine was stolen, and I never heard from my numemon again. I cherished the item my brother still had, warning him not to bring it to school, for fear of losing these "bricks" to other kids. Sure enough, one day my brother brought it back to school, and subsequently "lost" it in the schoolyard.

We saved our money, now seeing a television show (Digimon Adventure) with the two recognizable monsters we had raised on our "digi-bricks", and became addicted. That show was digimon, and thus my path to the immortal Digimon Fan began. New Digivice appeared, shaped to look like one of those off of the television show, and needless to say I grabbed two, and gave one to my brother. the battle was on once again. Somehow I still got that infernal Numemon as I learned it was called, and my brother kept getting Greymon! By the time the digivices began to wear off so did season one of Digimon. It looked like the fad was starting to pass away... but little did I know...

The new shaker concept was startng to enter the picture, and would soon lead to a new Digivice when season two Digimon Adventure 02 came out...

The D-Power. My brother and I were back, with brand new digivices. We became the coolest kids in Elementary again, our now upgraded digimon much more easier to train. I kept my digimon strapped to my belt and as I walked thru school the lil shaker would shake and count steps, and every so often Id run into a battle. Sometimes it happened in class, and I nearly lost my D2 a few times. By now my brother and I had started something in our small Canadian town, and we had followers. My character had now begun a permanent change...I had Guilmon. no matter how bad I raised Guilmon sometimes, he never began evil, and only got more powerful. my brother watched as Greymon fell victim to WarGrowlmon, and he resurged with MetalGreymon.

A new rivalry had borne in, and my Guilmon and me were the new Sheriff in town.My followers had their own D2s, often raising Garurumon, Ice-types, but yet for some reason my Guilmon never became an Ice type... then my followers discovered the Virus Busters, with the emergence of Gallantmon, we had begun a crew called the "Silver Knights", a group I lead until season three, when everything changed. My Silver Knights were always battling with Dino-destined, my brother's lil group.

D3s came and went, without much support or animosity, altho it was closely watched as Armor Digivolutions and DNA Digivolutions were birthed. but the end came, and then it was on to D4s, where it all began to seemingly end...

the New D4s, or D-Tectors were the attempt to revive the Digimon, a now tiring fad amongst the kids and teens. I still loved digimon, but the Spirit concept to many people was too annoying and complex to figure out, and I found many of my old followers and friends tossing away their D3s. Thats when it fell back to my brother and I. I still have my D-Tector, its Blue and Yellow body sitting in my toybox, deactivated. I still watch much of the new stuff, but not with as much intensity as I used to.
