Neroe Yamanaka

Neroe is one of the Digidestined. He is currently 21 years old and holds an orange digivice, as well as the Crest of Determination. His partner digimon is Agumon.

Basic Bio
Neroe was born in Kyoto, Japan, and was raised in the Otokuni Region, until the monster accident of '95, when a giant monster fell down from the sky and began causing chaos in the city. Unfortunately, his mother was killed in the attack. He then moved to the Tsuzuki region, where he began taking classes at Tsu. High school. His father remarried, and his step-mom has been very good to him, to the point where he just refers to her as Mom. He also has a younger sister, Nita, who is taking beauty classes. Neroe is a very cheery guy, but ever since entering the digital world, he felt that he needed to be more responsible and take control of the group. Doing so has led to his happy-go-lucky attitude to die down. However, underneath all the seriousness, Neroe is still a fun guy.

Early Life
Neroe had a very common early life, living in the Otokuni region with his father and mother. However, after his mother was killed in the monster attack of 95, Neroe and his father, Domitius, moved to the Tsuzuki region. Eventually, his father remarried, and Neroe eventually began to grow close to his new stepmother, Trina, due to wanting to fill the void of no longer having a mother. Soon after, Domitius and Trina had a daughter, named Nita, who Neroe grew very close to. The two began to form a protective older brother type bond.

Entering the Digiworld
Neroe entered the digital world along with the rest of the digidestined while they were on a school camping trip. He was assigned to A group of the camp, which is the group that got sent to the digital world by accident.

Adventures in the Digiworld
Upon arriving in the digital world, Neroe assumed a sort of leader type role among his peers. Him and his partner, Agumon's bond began to grow more close and close as their adventures wore on. During the first night at the digital world, the group was attacked by Bakemon while Neroe was on lookout duty. Utilizing the power of his digivice, Neroe managed to digivolve Koromon into Agumon.



The next day, the digidestined traveled into the forest, where they would soon get attacked by a wild Togemon. Neroe was the first one able to utilize his emotions and digivolve Agumon into his champion form, Greymon. However, this digivolution angered one of Neroe's closest friends, Ankh, which made him digivolve his Gotsumon into a dark version of Pinyinmon.

Eventually, the group travelled to Guardromon City, in which Neroe went shopping with Neo and Ankh, which led to him receiving his signature orange shirt look.

The group was later ambushed by two of their friends who had been separated, Radd and Van. The battle was long and fierce, but the two attackers were eventually defeated by Greymon's attack. Rejoining the group, Neroe travelled with everyone into Devidramon's castle. Upon learning the truth about Devidramon, Neroe and Ankh were both locked in the dungeon of the castle while Devidramon attacked the other digidestined. Using Greymon once more, they managed to escape. Neroe then arrived in time to witness Van being murdered by the evil digimon, leading to him to fuel Greymons attacks.

The Continent of Harddrive
Later on, in Arc 2, Neroe and Shard became trapped in the cave of crests with Neo, who had been infected with his virus. Escaping, he helped Neo remember who he truly is, and stop him from killing his friends.

Eventually, Neroe, CD, and Ankh were captured by Angewomon to be killed by Antylamon. It was only when Radd and Anx came to save them that they were able to rescue their digimon and continue their journey into the digital world. This journey led them straight to a sign which led to a fork in the road. At this fork, Neroe and

Jakan had a major fight, which resulted in the group splitting up once more. Neroe went on the road towards Gennai with Shard, Ankh, and CD. On this road, Neroe began losing himself to his emotions, until Shard was taken by a nearby Phantomon. Upon seeing his friend in danger, he utilized his crest of determination and digivolved Greymon into Metalgreymon, freeing her from certain death.

The group eventually walked into Antylamon's trap, and were brutally attacked by the vicious digimon. Using Metal Greymon, Neroe was able to slightly injure him. However, he was soon quickly defeated, along with the rest of his friends. Upon learning of Antylamon's plot to destroy the real world, Neroe regained the trust of his friends and they headed towards the real world gate.

Return to the real world


Upon returning to the real world, Neroe, along with Agumon, went home relatively soon. The first night after returning, they were called in with Ankh in order to defeat a digimon that was attacking a nearby bridge.

Later, Neroe was forced to go with Neo to tell Van's parents of his death.

During the attack on Kyoto, Neroe and Agumon were picked up by Beth and Aquilamon, and were flown to the Rosecorp Tower, where all the civilians were being taken. During the battle with Cherubimon, Neroe was one of the first Digidestined to digivolve his digimon to the Mega level, which helped to defeat him.

After the D-reaper started sending seeds into the real world, Neroe and Marly went to Greece, where they met Dani and Bea. Together, the group destroyed the seed and eventually returned to Kyoto, only to find that the D-reaper had spread all over the entire city.

After learning that his father, Domitious was also a digidestined, Neroe was shocked of course. However, he soon left in order to help find Shard. Upon returning, he mainly got in shit from his old man, leading him to leave their protection and find his own way.

During the attack on the D-reaper, Neroe was the first to Surge Digivolve into VictoryGreymon, and defeat it. That was when he saw that the digital world was in disrepair, which is what made him decide to return.

Back to the digital world
Going back to the digital world, they soon ran into Van again, who had apparently come back to life. Neroe was excited and happy to see that his old friend was back alive. However, that celebration didn't last long, as he soon learned he'd have to go with Shard to the desert zone to destroy the generator. In doing so, he met Eldradimon, who is the capital city of the digital world.

He would later have to battle Alphamon twice, and then face the D-reaper mother form with his friends, leading to the finale of Digimon Saviors.

The Crimson Path
5 Years following the events of Digimon Saviors, Neroe is still living at home and is 21 years of age. He spends his time working and going to university to become an archaeologist.

Relationships
Neroe has relationships with many of his fellow digidestined. Some of them are as follows:

Shard: Neroe and Shard share a very special relationship, one that borders on the line of romantic. The two share many interests, and have known each other for many years. Only recently have they begun to talk a lot, and Neroe seems to have feelings for her.

CD: CD is one of Neroe's best friends, and before the digital world incident the two used to hang out lots of the time. This is because of how when CD originally moved to Japan, Neroe was one of the only english speaking people at the school, due to studying it. Quickly, their bond began to grow into great pals.

Ankh: Originally, Neroe and Ankh didn't get along very well. Ankh always seemed to be kind of jealous of Neroe's abilities to digivolve, which led to Pinyinmon turning evil. However, after defeated, the two began to grow closer and closer, and now are total bros.

Anx: Neroe and Anx started out okay, but as things went on, their relationship began to break down. Anx began hating on Neroe for everything he did, even if it wasn't his fault, which led to Neroe resenting him. Eventually, after the battle of Antylamon, the two of them regained their friendship and began actually talking about their problems instead of just fighting about them.

Neo: Neo was a good friend of Neroe before the trip, but they weren't anything special. However, Neroe still thought of him as a valued member of the team, hence why he was so emotional when Neo left the group.

Beth: Neroe and Beth have a very neutral relationship towards each other. They generally get along very well, but they aren't best friends or anything like that.

Radd: Neroe doesn't care much for Radd, as he always is bitching about being in the digital world. He still values him as a team member, but he feels that Radd swears too much and has the personality of a board.

Van: Van and Neroe were pretty good friends, and Van was Neroe's computer class mentor. When Van was killed, it affected Neroe deeply, causing his reactions to be based on Van's death. Now that Van is back alive, Neroe is refilled with the confidence that he needs in order to defeat the D-reaper, and end the game.
