I noticed that you haven't finished his backstory up. When you get that done, I'll judge him.
He's the protagonist of an entire novel series.
I already had problems to abridge his backstory without adding any big spoilers.
So this will take a while.
I wish I could link you wiki pages or something but their summary tends to be awful and at times even contradict itself.

The most important part is how he joined the UMMA.

I'm thinking of some coincidence which made him travel through parallel universes and he got picked up by UMMA.
I would need to read more of the IC and generally more information to know the details.

@VitaVitaARI thought of an alternative idea how Kazuma joins UMMA.
Basically he meets one of the Shadow Eternity operatives and their fight results in accidentally sending Kazuma to another universe.
The only question is in choosing what character you want to use for this.
Basically Kazuma joins UMM during the IC.

It'd probably be easier to have it take place before the RP.

Mostly because I've already got my characters distributed across the multiverse and it'd be hard to get them to where yours is.

Alright, then we can just decide on which character met Kazuma sometime during the past.
Preferably a Shadow Eternity character which you control or being an NPC here.
The rest is kinda up to me and I'll send you my intro post in PM before getting it to the IC.
If you won't like some parts I'm going to correct them.
Does it sound about right?

@VitaVitaARYou were supposed to name a character whom I can use for this purpose.
Somebody whom Kazuma meets, fights and then gets sent to an other universe.

Um, well, I haven't really named the Shadow Eternity NPC's I've used so far yet?

I mean they do have names but I haven't figured them out yet. ^^;

Out of the important ones I've made I suppose the katana-wielding woman is probably the most likely of them all.

Name: Raditz

Age: 30 (Did not age while trapped in HFIL, but is aging again now)

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon

Universe of Origin: Dragonball Z

Personality: Raditz is an arrogant, mocking warrior, convinced that he is the strongest in the universe. Of course, due to this view he is prone to self-delusion, as he is without a doubt the weakest enemy the Z Warriors ever faced. He is also manipulative, and a pathological liar. However, when on the ropes, he becomes cowardly, as his one death was traumatic and he fears a second.

Raditz will run from an enemy he knows he cannot defeat, and tends to willingly attack only when he knows he is going to win.

Abilities/Weapons: His time trapped in HFIL has done nothing to boost his powers, and he still possesses the pathetic power level of 1,200 with which he died. He can improve this dramatically through intensive training or through near-death experiences, but Raditz is loathe to train and will refuse to put himself in a near-death situation if he can avoid it.

Despite his weakness for a member of his species, he is still far stronger than a normal human being. He can utilize his ki to fly, fire energy blasts from his hands, and fight for hours without tiring. He never learned the technique to read energy, which causes him to overestimate his skills and pick fights with enemies he has no hope of defeating. At the moment, he possesses no scouter, as it was broken on Earth and he has been unable to replace it.

Raditz possesses his tail, which allows him to transform in to a Great Ape if he looks at the full moon. Great Ape Raditz is both ten times larger and ten times stronger than normal. As a true Saiyan warrior, he retains control of himself when transformed.

It is also worth noting that, while his heart is pure evil, Raditz has never been placed in a situation of extreme need. As a result the power of a Super Saiyan has never revealed itself to him.

Current Power Level: 1,200 (12,000 in Great Ape form)

Backstory: During his youth, Raditz worked as member of the Saiyan Army. He was assigned to work alongside a young Prince Vegeta. When Frieza ordered all the Saiyans to return to Planet Vegeta, the prince refused the order and Raditz stayed with him on the planet they were invading. After his race's demise, he worked alongside Vegeta and Nappa directly for Frieza's Galactic Frieza Army. While working with a team led by Vegeta, Raditz traveled to Earth to discover if Kakarot had finished the mission that he was sent on as a baby over two decades prior: the conquest of Earth. Upon arrival, however, Raditz discovered that Kakarot had lost his violent Saiyan tendencies and also had no knowledge of his true ancestry or his mission. Raditz attempted to persuade Goku to join him and become a Planet Trade pirate, but to no avail. He was slain by Piccolo on Earth, along with Kakarot. While his final transmission would continue the story of Kakarot and Piccolo, he himself was confined to the Home For Infinite Losers in the afterlife.

However, due to the shenanigans of Janemba many years later, Raditz was finally able to escape from HFIL along with the Dictator, but rather than finding himself on Earth, he found himself in a strange, unfamiliar multiverse. Where the heck was he?

Faction: None

Okay, while he seems fine as-is, I'm just a bit wary of the ability for Saiyans to grow more powerful every time they end up near death.

I'm not very familiar with actual canon DBZ, but I know that's something they can do, and that power levels get to "blow up planets easily" level. I'd like to avoid stuff like that.

In a game with characters from Touhou, Fate, Diebuster, Umineko, etc, I don't see it being a problem.

Well I mean only Umineko matches the power level of Raditz being able to (presumably) blow up multiple cities with two fingers.
Pretty huge disparity if you ask me.

Also moon destroying if you count the Piccolo moon destroying beam as canon.

The only character out of the ones you listed who could potentially destroy a planet there is Nono, and she's nerfed by being unwilling to use any of those abilities due to potential collateral damage as discussed by her player. She was accepted because of that. None of the characters who can do those kinds of things and aren't nerfed by personality or other methods of nerfing aren't accepted.

He's fine as is, I just want to know that he won't ever get to the level of casual planet destruction from near death powerups.

You don't have anything to worry about right now.

Raditz is the very first villain in DBZ. Because of escalation, he's practically a mere ant compared to androids, pink gummy demons, and even gods. It's to the point where Team Four Star made the Power Level system's measurement for one unit be called "Raditz".

Though this is Dragon Ball Z. Frieza could toe-dance with Goku at his highest level just after training for four months, so...

Eh, screw it, I'll leave Raditz power level to the discretion of his player because...

When your ant is a goliath compared to everyone else, its suffice to say it can't really be deemed an ant anymore. I don't have any qualms with Raditz because the GM doesn't but it is true that he's probably the second strongest dude here.

As he's written I'd say he's probably somewhat high-level but still not that much more powerful then other high-level characters in the RP.

Again, I just want to confirm that the "power up from near death" thing won't drive him to casual planet destruction levels, as with his personality you can't really excuse him not using it.

Frieza is the first character seen that is capable of blowing up entire planets. His power level is 530,000. Let's use 500,000 as a reasonable marker for planet-destroying power.

Assuming a zenkai doubles the Saiyan's power (it doesn't, not even close, but it's an acceptable unit of measurement for this example), Raditz at 1,200 would need to have at least nine near-death experiences to be able to blow up a planet. It's not feasible simply because of the ridiculous inefficiency. In addition, a near-death experience is exactly what it says on the tin. Any competent fighter will remove the 'near' from the equation.

Your scenario, while theoretically not impossible, is astronomically unlikely.

Character killing isn't generally allowed in RP's, but in any case it's pretty clear you don't have any intention of using it.

In which case, he's accepted.

That's good to know, actually.
Granted powers of canon characters are only a matter of interpretation. But actually what @Boomrocker said is right.
Powerscaling, high end feats and deductive reasoning. There are many ways.
Fate characters can be stronger than DBZ depending on which incarnation you use. Umineko characters can cut entire universes in half or do crazy multiversal reality warping BS. Touhou characters have so many who can be powerscaled to be planetbusters that it isn't even funny.

Depending on how you interpret Raditz's power he could be easily a planetbuster (Piccolo's Moonbusting was violent enough to be as energetic as a planetbuster, and that was the day after he fought Raditz)
Alternatively he could be just strong enough to destroy an entire mountain range, large metropolis or potentially somewhat more if he actually puts an effort into the attack.
Zenkai are similarly something you can interpret many ways. In the series it was mostly just a plot device for the Frieza Arc and it allowed people to gain seriously BS amount of powers.
On the other hand after the Frieza Arc the Zenkais were inexplicably toned down and even when Saiyans were beaten half-dead they didn't become any notable stronger.
In conclusion if needed the player can describe Raditz's powers almost any way he wants.

Anyways if everyone else is nerfed shouldn't it be more sensible if Nono receives the same?
So instead of apparently holding back (which wouldn't matter because she'd be still too durable to be hurt) it'd be better if she isn't that strong to begin with.
I mean her being planetbuster or such. There's no problem with her being the strongest if that's what did you established in the RP.

Also if we are at it, what do you think as the maximum acceptable level of destruction?
Anything that doesn't outright destroy the planet?
I'm asking because technically Kazuma is not too shabby on that himself.
He can generate mega hurricanes that occupy a plain visible section of Earth and rather visibly seen moving (if a 200km-wide hurrican eye visibly moves when watched from distance that means the wind speed is measured in kilometers per second, trillions of tons of air spiraling at velocities faster than modern anti-tank shells!) and his ultimate potential as the proxy of the Spirit King of the Air can even have him destroy the Earth.
That being said, this is Kazuma when relying on his Contractor Mode and he certainly can't do the latter yet because he's a mere human and just controlling a section of the atmosphere in 100km radius for 5 minutes can nearly overwhelm his mind.
Still, I want some clarification so I can stay on the safe side.
