Ian Hoffman

Ian Hoffman (middle name undisclosed if he still uses?)

Nickname: "Digifanatic"; "Digi" or "Didge" for short

Age: 30

Height: 5'11

Species: Human

Physical

Ian is a moderately built human, if a bit above average in height. He has fair skin and brown hair, which tends to be slightly on the long side (down to around his neck). He often dreses casually, a T-shirt or polo shirt with cargo pants or shorts depending on the weather, and sneakers.

Background

Ian lived a pretty normal, quiet childhood in the northwest corner of Connecticut, until he and his friend Daniel Johanson witnessed the battle between Diablomon and Omegamon (Diaboromon and Omnimon) over their Internet connection. Some years later, they both became Chosen Children for their section of the United States...

...except Ian decided to throw away his ambitions of the Digital World at the last possible moment. Lured by the adventures of another realm, Nintendus, he joined a faction called the Questers, where he would initially spend a turbulent time with, too young to handle the scenario. He returned to Earth having never united with a Digimon partner, and spent a few years trying to put up with his decision.

Fortunately, he would get over it and obtain a second chance with the Questers a few years later. Older and a bit wiser, he came back and fared much better, exploring more lands and fighting more succesful battles than before. He eventually finished his duties there when the Questers disbanded for good in his upper 20s. Since then, he's preferred to be at ease, working as a freelance author for magazines and journals, his articles based on the planets he's visited and the differences (and even similarities) between his planet and those.

He has inherited a few Digimon though, but as card-summoned holograms and not "true" Digimon. A Patamon, Guilmon, Renamon, and Terriermon make up his set, although, as holograms, he doesn't show them off very much. In addition, he also occasionally takes care of Daniel's Elecmon, as Ian and Daniel are roommates.

Personality

While he's been known to make a few bad slips of the tongue, in general he has a very friendly and outgoing personality. Talk about technology or sports and he'll likely be your friend for a while. Perhaps not surprisingly, it takes a lot to rile him up, so as long as he's not angry, he can be approached.
