DragonBall Z: Dirty Deeds (A Frieza Force RP)

Alrighty! I'll put out an ad or two, and we can see about starting next week regardless? I'm just not sure how many more people we'll get. This is pretty niche haha

@Zeroth I didn't think we'd be heading to DB Earth. It's often regarded as a nothing planet that no one cares about so we wouldn't have much reason to go.

@Zeroth@Wayward

So, how long did you both want to wait? I figure we could play with the 3 of us. We could also set a deadline to see if anyone else wants to join. Also, be sure to bring up any questions, comments, or concerns! I try to be really open when I run an rp cuz I want it to be fun for everyone. And, finally, is it okay to keep Rhubari as squad leader for now?

DragonBall Z: Dirty Deeds (A Frieza Force RP)

Gezoto (Zeroth)

Name: Gezoto (Geh-zoh-toe; "Togezo" rearranged. Togezo being the Japanese name for Mario's "Spiny" enemy)
Gender: Male
Age: 58 (equivalent to mid-twenties humans)
Race: Ssupaik-jin (non-canon race)
Power Level: 1140

Special Techniques:
Frag Out - A crackling sphere of Ki that doesn't explode immediately upon impact---some foes are surprised when it bounces off of them to harmlessly roll over their feet. Then it goes off in a shower of energy "shrapnel," potentially piercing multiple opponents within its AoE.

Knuckle Buster - Focusing a great deal of ki into his pyramid-like, pointed knuckle spikes, Gezoto lets loose an all-out punch. Its power and guard-breaking properties are great, but it's limited to close quarters and weakens his defenses due to the rest of his ki aura being thinned.

Spike Wall - Gezoto takes a defensive stance, turning all the spikes of his body toward an incoming attack. He hardens his skin and muscles like iron and prepares to take a hit. Even if his hardened body is overwhelmed, a physical attack is likely to leave his enemy damaged by the recoil. Against ki attacks it's less effective, but better than nothing.

Reassembly - The Ssupaik-jin don't have a true "regeneration" ability the way some species do; instead, their spiked skin and blocky bodies heal in one of two different ways. The first, and most common, is by regrowing new pieces to replace the old, more akin to most other species' healing factor. It's limited to what's already there--they can't grow new pieces of a limb if that limb's been taken off. However, in cases of dismemberment or severe damage taken in battle, if one acts quickly a Ssupaik-jin can literally "put themselves back together." Pieces that are damaged (chipped spikes, burns, smaller bits that were severed or cracked, etc) will remain so, but the process is near instant, like popping a child's model figure back together. This allows the Ssupaik-jin to keep fighting, or at least survive to run away. Bloodloss, infectious disease, and organ function cannot be healed in this fashion, however.

Kintsugi - A "sacred rite of battle" from Ssupaik-jin culture in the days before the planet became corrupted, this ability can ONLY be triggered with repeated uses of Reassembly that have been allowed to properly heal and a required ki threshold. Damaged pieces of a Ssupaik-jin that have been Reassembled will eventually begin to heal normally like the rest of the body, but the original shock of the wound causes a great deal of stress. If enough ki energy can be drawn to offset this, then the damaged pieces will not only stabilize, but grow stronger and harder like polished metal ore. Cracks fill, points are sharpened, and hard edges are smoothed out. Repeated damage to the same area, however, requires more and more ki. This "joinery" is often a different color from the rest of the body. The older members of Gezoto's old gang wore and even cultivated these scars like proud tattoos, often ripping off their expensive suits before climactic fights to show off their patterns.

Gear:

• Battle Armor - Gezoto wears the "basic" variant of Battle Armor which lacks the shoulder pads and faulds. The black body mesh beneath it is sleeveless with short leggings, while the armor itself is white with red plating on the abdomen and shoulder straps. Due to the spikes on his arms and legs he does not wear gloves, and his boots are of a low-top design.
• Scouter, Blue-lens
• Blaster, pistol model

Appearance:

Gezoto

Ht - 5ft 10in w/out horns, horns are 1ft each.
Wt - 180 lbs
Eyes - Ice blue
Skin - Red w/black patterns
Voice - Travis Willingham w/growl

Personality:
Gezoto has all the mannerisms of an old school Yakuza, the kind of gangster that holds themselves on a pedastal of some misunderstood "nobility" while being just as arrogant, petty, and violent as any common street thug. As long as you're not stepping on his overinflated ego, he's an energetic drinking buddy, back-slapping pal, a joker and a gambler. But if you "disrespect" him, he's quick to get right in your face, and doesn't back down easily from a fight.

Surprisingly, however, he has an admirable sense of loyalty and debt. He's more willing to tolerate orders and grant favors to those who've done him some good turn in the past, he dislikes going back on his word, and he isn't usually too hasty to judge someone's strength. Acknowledging that someone is stronger than him, however, won't prevent him from making bad decisions in the heat of the moment--he's got too much pride for that.

Backstory:
The planet Ssupaikii was once prosperous, thanks to rich ore and mineral veins rising like silver needles from the world's crust. However, harvesting and processing these resources required control over vast amounts of territory and destructive use of chemicals and machinery. Monopolies and oligarchies took shape, class disparity widened, and when the civilization reached the space-faring age they began to export the very things that gave their world its value. Other, greedier worlds latched onto these resources, and soon there was an influx of offworlders come hoping to strike gold--literally, in some cases.

Population increased unchecked, allowed by governments who cared only about short term profits, and resources dwindled. Soon enough, the Ssupaik-jin's economies were in absolute shambles. In pursuit of never-ending growth, they sold the one thing they had left: the planet itself. Ssupaikii is somewhat unique in that it is one of relatively few planets acquired by the Frieza Force without a drop of blood being shed. And after the tyrant bailed them out, those responsible for the planet's downfall immediately left for greener space to live in decadence, while he put the screws to their constituents.

Gezoto grew up in a ghetto ruled by killers and thieves, and only "protected" by organized gangs who were willing to start wars over the smallest slights. When the Frieza Force started to enforce "order" via even more bloodshed, the brawler knew this was real power. Why climb the ranks under some small time boss controlling a single rathole of a city, when he could make real money serving the king of a galaxy? He'd already lived his entire life fighting to survive, so doing it on other planets just made it less boring!

@Zeroth
That looks good to me. Approved!

Alternate. That way if our characters want to rebel, the option is there, and it's possible they could win. Just sorta depends on when they would decide to.

Togrash (Wayward)

Name: Togrash
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Race: Capsa-jin
Homeworld: Planet Nasuk

Power Level: 1200
Infernal Ki: A known trait among the Capsa-jin race is its higher than normal body temperature, which is incorporated into their fighting style, and channeled through their techniques. Their energy projections tend to produce considerably more heat than those of other races, and are typically more volatile in nature.
Special Techniques:

• Scorch Dome. An area of effect technique in which Togrash projects a burst of energy in all directions from his body. Current effective range is within a 6 for radius.
• Burning Rush. Togrash envelops himself in an aura of ki and charges at his enemy; the aura provides both a protective field and a damaging projection that enhances his strikes. Comes with a slight amplification of speed and strength, typically spiking his power level to around 1500.
• Heat Wave. A charged wave of Ki that manifests in the aesthetic form of a thick, fiery stream. Energy is first concentrated into one or both arms before being launched.
• Minor Regeneration. Though a far cry from the rumored prowess of the Namekians, Togrash's limbs and tail are capable of regrowing themselves over time. The process can take between an hour to several days depending on the severity and which appendage is regrowing. A stint in the healing pod and other recovery means can expedite the process. He cannot regenerate if beheaded or if a vital organ is completely destroyed.

Gear:

• Red Tinted Scouter.
• Black Freeza Force Armor worn over black under armor. Togrash's suit had been modified to better withstand higher temperatures.

Appearance:

Height: 6'
Weight: 210lbs
Anatomy: Togrash is mostly humanoid in form and proportions. Common among his race, his arms and legs are slightly longer in proportion to his torso. His fingers share in the subtle elongation, and feature sharper, claw-like nails. A thin tail runs from the bottom of his spine to his ankles.

His complexion is that of a pepper green skin with a series of red, orange, yellow, and mixed spots dotted randomly; the most prominent spots are upon the top of his head and tail; the bottom side of his tail is colored in alternating bands of orange yellow.

Personality: Togrash can be a brash, excitable, and hotheaded individual in the field. He's a "punch first, ask questions later" type. Thus, he can be counted on to be the first in his squad to rush headlong into a battle, and likely the one prone to the most injuries as a result. He's an aggressive warrior in combat, preferring not to waste his time playing with or clowning on opponents. He's not the sort to espouse lengthy monologues either, and is similarly adverse to allowing enemies to do the same. When in battle, Togrash fights with a will and vigor emblematic of someone who has a lot to prove. He's overall an efficient soldier that lets his fists do the talking.

Though tenuous at times, he respects the chain of command within both his Squad and the Freeza Force at large. His pragmatism and long term goal restrains him from picking fights with powers greater than his own unless it's for the purpose of training. He's not above clashing with his equals if he perceives them as standing in his way, holding him back, slighting him in some way; however, he won't go out of his way to lash out if not ordered to or provoked. Otherwise, he comes off as a silent, and somewhat cold figure, who doesn't act until the actions starts.

He's a self-starter, oftentimes identifying what he needs to do and doing it even before orders are passed down; when taking orders, he need only hear them once in order to act.

Backstory: Planet Nasuk came under control of the Freeza Force roughly ten years ago. While many of the races that inhabited the planet submitted to the Emperor's will with little to no hesitation, Togrash's people, the Capsa-jin, proved both more rebellious and more capable as fighters; the power of the species was such that Zarbon and Dodoria were deployed to personally see to its subjugation. In the wake of a brutal assault by the elite Freeza squadrons, the strongest of the Capsa-jin were slain and those that remained were forced to swear their loyalty to the Freeza Force.

Togrash came into the fold with the empire's military five years ago, just after the last embers of the Capsa-jin resistance were snuffed out. He's since been biding his time, hoping to grow strong enough to exact revenge upon Freeza.

@Wayward
Awesome! Looks good to me! His regeneration is slow enough that I'll allow it.

@Zeroth
Good questions!
1. Yeah, I had a lot of reasons. One being that I feel like everyone would pick one of those races, and they both have skills that seem a bit too powerful for everyone to have a more equal footing. The Saiyans have the zenkai boost and potential for super saiyan, and Namekians have ultra fast regeneration and the ability to sync with other Namekians, increasing their power several-fold. I just thought it'd be easier to nip it in the bud.

2. I would like our characters to get more powerful fairly quickly. I'm thinking this first planet they have to conquer will be quite the challenge. They'll be dealing with gravity far greater than normal, and though most won't put up too much of a fight, I plan on having a few heavies along the way to really challenge our characters. I figure we can expect a pretty decent jump by the time we finish the first planet, our power levels could climb into the 10k's. In long term, I figure we can just keep getting stronger as long as we play. I guess to answer your question, I think the power levels we see in Frieza saga are about as high as we'll go, since that's when they kind of stop mattering. So I'd say we could see power levels into the low millions maybe.

3. Racial skills are definitely allowed, and even encouraged I'll say. If needs be, I can talk with anyone who wants a specific ability, and as long as it matches with our power levels and our vibe, it'll probably be fine! Like I said, I'm also happy to talk transformations as well, I just think it'd be easier to handle something like that when we have higher power levels.

Feel free to talk to me as much as you want about character building, and even ideas for the rp itself. You can DM me, talk here, or on Discord.

Also, for everyone interested, would you like me to make a discord for us to chat in? And I do have Rhubari as the commander for now, but as we get more characters in, we can always hold it to a vote. I don't want it to feel like I'm trying to be main character

The Adventures Haven ~ New Heros Welcome to Join

As Aryal spoke, Ellera's lips tightened into something of a grimace. "I had wondered if that were the case. How doth one join thy guild? I wish to take jobs that align with my skills." She reached for her coin purse, assuming that there was some fee for joining the guild. It wouldn't be the worst way to spend her gold. She noticed the young girl asking for a room and jobs, which stood out to her. She seemed young to be adventuring alone. Yet, she knew all too well how annoyed she'd be if someone took it upon themselves to help her, so she gave the youngling her space.
