Fan:Digimon Radiant/Royal Knights

The Royal Knights are the ultimate protectors of the Digital World, devoted to upholding justice and preserving the security of the network. They once served Yggdrasil, before the Digital World began fragmenting and Ygddrasil was torn apart. In the wake of his destruction, they now serve to hold the multiple Digital Worlds together as best they can.

Since even before Yggdrasil was destroyed, the Royal Knights had been fighting for millenna against the Demon Lords, but could never defeat them due to Pride and Envy. Now that two others with the strength of Royal Knights have appeared, the long war can finally be finished.

Alphamon
Alphamon is the "true leader" of the Royal Knights. With his "Alpha-Gain-Force", an unrivaled power, he is meant to be forever absent from the Royal Knights ranks and has been given the title "Lord of the Empty Seat". Alphamon only appears when the Digital World is in dire crisis.

Alphamon's name is a reference to alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet. This creates a thematic link with himself and Omnimon, whose Japanese name is Omegamon - effectively, a reference to the concept of the Alpha and Omega.

 Attacks 
 * Digitalize of Soul: Summons a monster from another world that devours his enemies. The attack is also depicted in the form of firing multiple green energy beams from his hands.

Cranniummon
Craniamon is a large humanoid digimon with a skull-like helmet. He wields a double bladed spear called Claíomh Solais and a shield named Avalon.

His name comes from the word cranium, the human skull. This is probably a reference to the fact that Craniummon's head is shaped like a skull.

 Attacks 
 * Shock Ringer (End Waltz): Rotates both himself and his Claíomh Solais spear, creating a destructive shockwave around him.
 * God Breath: Uses his shield "Avalon" to protect himself from attacks in any direction. In official settings, the defense is absolute due to the aid of King Drasil, but only lasts 3 seconds.
