Character Information
Character Name: Seto Kaiba
Age: 18
Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters (Anime)
Canon Point: Immediately post-Ceremonial Duel (episode 224)
World Information: Yu-Gi-Oh takes place in Domino City, a fictional Japanese city of the late 90s---structurally similar to Tokyo but not quite as big. The world is largely similar to the real Earth, aside from the bits of ancient magic that the main cast sometimes get caught up in.
Character Information:
History up through the section labeled 'Dawn of the Duel'. His canon point is the immediate aftermath of this.
Personality:
In picturing what this character is like, consider these facts: Seto Kaiba is 17 years old, the CEO of the biggest gaming technology company in his country, and the number 2 ranked player of said country's most popular spectator sport. The basic assumptions a person is likely to make about his personality knowing only those facts would be largely correct: he's incredibly driven and competitive, has an ego the size of the sun, and he'd be that guy on Survivor who yells 'I'm not here to make friends!' at every contestant who even looks at him funny.
Kaiba believes he is one of the greatest strategic mind in the world. Losing his first duel against Yugi sent him into a revenge-fueled obsession with the man, determined to rematch him until he can reclaim his title. Kaiba never gives up no matter how many times he loses against Yugi, throwing all his intensity into every rematch. You'd think Kaiba hated his opponent, and he sometimes claims he does. But behind the tangle of insults in their duels, there's an underlying layer of respect. Yugi is the one person who's ever given Kaiba an incredible (and mostly fair) fight, and he says repeatedly that he feels most alive during a thrilling match. Kaiba believes wholeheartedly in his superior ability, yet anyone who can challenge him is worthy of grudging respect.
Outside of the dueling field or the arcade, though, the first impression other tamers are likely to get of Kaiba is that he's incredibly resistant to overtures of friendship. After a lifetime of being betrayed by nearly every adult in his life, and the social isolation that came with having to raise his brother alone, he struggles to relate to people with normal childhoods. When he's pitted against his story's optimistic friendship-powered protagonists, he openly derides them for clinging to each other for support, claiming these attachments are weaknesses.
He knows this very well because his single most powerful bond, with his younger brother Mokuba, is his greatest weakness. Mokuba's spot in Seto's heart is regularly exploited by the greater villains of the story: kidnapped, mind-controlled, turned against him. In all these instances, Seto sets all other concerns aside. His brother's safety means everything, even if it means he has to forfeit a game or work with Yugi's Friendship Brigade to save him.
Kaiba's other powerful bond is to the Blue Eyes White Dragon, one of Duel Monsters' most powerful cards and his personal ace. The card has lingered in his dreams since childhood, a symbol of power and freedom for a trapped and powerless boy. She's the pride and joy of his deck, and the admiration he displays for this dragon can be a little...excessive. The company's branding is modeled after her, the HQ and theme park are covered in her brand, his favorite coat is modeled after her, and his personal private jet is modeled after her as well. He loves dragons, and will be especially likely to chat with dragon Digimon and their tamers so he can admire their strength.
Finally, Kaiba isn't all ego and attitude. Just mostly. Aside from his sometimes-excessive love for dragons, he has a noted soft spot for children. Despite the hardening of his heart, he hung onto his childhood dream of building a fantasy theme park that orphaned kids could freely enjoy, and he made it a reality. He's also capable of working against a common enemy, and he goes out of his way to keep Yugi and friends alive during more than one crisis. If asked the reason, he'd likely claim 'Yugi won't duel me if I let them die', but there's some glimmer of a conscience in there.
To sum it up, Kaiba can be a difficult person to be around. He's highly competitive (and is likely to try to 'win' at Digimon training), his ego's so powerful that he believes he can accomplish anything, and he's resistant to making friends. But he's just level-headed enough to be willing to work with others for a common good, and 'saving our worlds' is a pretty important common good!
Abilities: Kaiba is a completely ordinary human and is very happy that he has not been marked by magic. He has some athletic potential, but he's been too busy running around playing card games and striking business deals to hone it beyond throwing his cards around like knives.
Intellectually, he's a talented computer programmer specializing in video games and AI. He's built game worlds of his own, and is able to inject his code into others' worlds...not that he'll likely be doing so here, of course. He has some business sense and ability to negotiate, but his temper and pride can sometimes get in the way of making the best possible deal.
Items:
-Duel Disk (darm brace with a table-like attachment, used to project holographic images of cards. Digivice.)
-Duel Monsters deck
-Locket (shaped like a small Duel Monsters card, containing photograph of Mokuba)
Digimon:
Digimon Partner:
Baby: Petitmon
Baby II: Babydmon
Child: Dracomon
Undecided from here. She'll be starting as Petitmon.
Personality: Dracomon is a happy Digimon who loves all things fun and games, and as a dragon she'll win her Seto-kun's heart quickly. She's naturally curious about the world, pleasant to almost everyone she meets, and a contrast to her tamer's grumpy sourpuss face. She loves Seto and is fiercely loyal to him, but she thinks his crankiness is funny. It's also super-fun to prank him! But the most important thing to remember around her is simple: hide your valuables! She has a large appetite and loves to chomp on shiny objects, especially gems and jewels.

Questionnaire:
How do you feel about being brought to another world?
I'll do what I have to. If it's a programming expert you need to navigate your digital world, you've asked the right person. And I'd probably worry more about data security if I were you, this all has a potential to bleed into the 'real world' this one's tethered to, doesn't it?
What are you going to miss most about the world you call home?
Having money. I take it I can't throw blank checks around here.
[ He briefly touches his locket after answering: the true answer is different, but there's no way he's telling these idiots about his brother. ]
Can you tell us anything about the world you came from?
Technology level appears to be similar to what's been built here. The last digital world I entered ended up being a platform for a madman to attempt to launch a full-scale takeover, so again: I really hope you all know what you're doing.
What do you think about the idea of having a Digimon partner?
I'll bring out their full potential. They'd better be ready to train hard with me, we have work to do!
[ And he hopes they're a dragon. That'd be nice. ]
A dangerous Digimon is after you! What do you do?!
Try to make distance and observe. Plan a strategy with my partner and take it out! There won't be anything we can't handle.
[ 'But what if there is....?']
Fine, if you insist. I'll inform other Tamers in the area. We'll coordinate a group attack if needed.
