This is a reboot of my previous roleplay some time ago. This time the starting position will be an Earth Defense Force spacecraft heading toward the planet Beryl. Your characters have been chosen to find the source of the threat attempting to enslave that planet once again and then to report back to Earth.






It has been many years since the deaths of the Z fighters of old. In any event Earth has gone through many changes since the early days and advanced quite far technologically. Earth has since joined a larger, galactic community, their foremost other world partner of course being Namek and the Namekians. It is rather unfortunate but because of the World Trade Organization and its policy of sending Saiyan pods to purge planets, finding other friendly races has been rather fruitless, as many races are either dead or have such small populations that civilization is basically nonexistent. There are of course other planets that were either enslaved or repopulated by the World Trade Organization and while a few have shaken off their shackles others have either stayed with the World Trade Organization or were sold.

Earth has been instrumental in the rebuilding of many other worlds at this point but it seems that many of the planets sold by the World Trade Organization had a buyer. The buyers are still unknown but it appears that agents have been sent to recapture bought planets and with their supplier, the World Trade Organization, shattered, a militaristic movement has been formed to help in expansion. There has been talk of troops and various aliens being sent to previous World Trade Organization worlds to crush rebellions and many worlds are starting to feel threatened by this unknown.

Power plays are starting to happen and it will soon threaten the lives of all races in the galaxy...

Preferred Fighting Style: (Melee/Ki Blasts/Balanced)
Signature Combat Techniques:



Humans: The most populous race on earth most are rather low powered, having grown up with technology being able to compensate for most things. Because so few try to get stronger naturally, most do not realize the potential their bodies possess. Still, humans can greatly compensate for lack of natural strength with their inventiveness but of course, relying on such technology has its limitations. There are some humans alive with trace amounts of saiyan blood in them and those individuals tend to have stronger bodies and ki then other human fighters, some might even have locked away inside them the ability to transform in super saiyan form; though it would be more accurate to say super human form.



Androids: After several close shaves with death at the hands of alien forces, or even literally death then dragon ball miracle saves, Earth got a little paranoid about its safety. Some remembered the great power of the androids created by Dr. Gero and to help bolster Earth's defenses programs were created to create ultimate, man created fighting machines. The programs took up volunteers who agreed to undergo dramatic, and often life threatening, android transformation surgery in order to become Earth's new defenders. There have been rumors of Dr. Gero's work being stolen by less reputable sources for their own designs however...



Anthros: Earth is home to many species of intelligent life, a large portion being taken up by animal based species with human characteristics. These races vary greatly in size and appearance, from dragons to werewolves and beyond. Considering how different the various types are its impossible to gauge a standard for this 'race'.



Demons: These creatures come from an alternate dimension of Earth and like the Anthros range greatly in appearance and power. One of the most recognizable demons of high power would be Dabura who came to Earth to help Babidi revive Majin Buu. Once Earth was confident they could defend themselves they managed to take control of a portal between their realm and the demon realm, allowing some demons to travel back and forth between dimensions. As a result a sort of small, cultural exchange has occured between Earth and the Demon Realm. Of course progress is very slow as most demons are not trusted.



Majins: Majin Buu is perhaps the only creature to ever figure out how to reproduce himself into an entire species by creating a female version of himself to start a family with. Obviously this was only possible due to Buu's magical nature and now a sizable population of the gummy beings inhabits the Earth. Of course considering the species came from a single source the average Majin is considerably less powerful then their ancestor. Still, it is good to note that Majins still have a magical base and powers of survival and regeneration are still quite high.



Namekians: Namek is earth's closest neighbor and irrefutable ally. Their population has grown quite a lot over the generations and their civilization is once again thriving. Known for being asexual and having powerful regenerative properties a competent namekian warrior is not to be looked down upon. After the devastation brought upon their world by Freiza, which did blow it up but the world was remade by the dragon balls, the namekians have also, like Earth, realized the need for powerful fighters. As such, the powerful technique of fusion was revived, though with strict limitations as fusion can be quite dangerous. Namekians who attempt more than one fusion often fall into insanity and destroy themselves with the addition of a third body. Still, These powerful warriors will no doubt be needed in the times to come.



Original Alien: There are still aliens out there unknown to man who are perhaps fleeing from the coming threat. If you're up to it you can try to create your own race but I'll have to approve it.

And before anyone asks...Saiyans are extinct at this point in time. Therefore there are no player characters that can be Saiyans. The closest you can get is a human with Saiyan ancestors.

Working on an Android character at the moment. But thinking of maybe doing a Namekian character instead. opinions?

Redo the interest check. its pretty much not a good idea to bump old topics even if its related to your current topic as people don't pay attention to old topics pretty much, or as much as they would to a fresh topic. That might be why there isn't all that much interest maybe.

Worth a shot in any case. But ya people do tend to look at the original post's time rather than when it was last updated to see if they should have interest or not. Know I have done that before.

@IceHeartYou got my interest on this one. I'll look at it better, later once I get back home.

EDIT: I got a question. Is master Roshi still around? 'cause you know... immortality? Even if not, could we know his techniques somehow? I really would like to know the Kamehameha.

Anyway, how much would you be against a Void Demon. Basically it would look like this in abilities, although they're very synergetic.

+Ultimate Regen
+Magic Resistance
+Great Melee Strength
+Immune to Energy Leech, instead causing negative effects to whatever leeches energy from them.
+Leeches Energy from whatever they touch, eventually causing whatever runs out of energy to start to fade into the Void/die. Things being touched can't regenerate energy while being touched. More powerful impacts drain more energy.
+Absorbed energy increases Speed which dissipates over time.
+Ability to absorb moderately powerful energy blasts via Void Shield. (think Super 17 from the games, IE able to absorb standard blasts and level 1 supers, but has to stand still and channel to use it, leaving them open to rushes. And of course Ultimates just go right through it.)

-Unable to use any ranged or Ki based moves besides flight. This includes non damaging ones such as Solar Flare.
-Unable to use Digital Technology
-Slow starting movement.

I can't say I really have any, just depends on what you think would be more fun for you to play as.

Master Roshi is dead at this point, the immortality turned out to only be a really long life. As for knowing Turtle Style techniques, some of those would have been passed on to other fighters, such as through Krillin and Goku's family lines so it is not without reason to think other people could learn them as well.

@Archmage MC
Ah yes this character, I remembered this from the previous time I tried this roleplay. I said no at the time but with some changes should be usable. With what you have put here, there are some decent cons to balance out the strong melee fighting so that's good. As for the fading into the Void part at first I thought it too powerful but in Dragon Ball when someone runs out of Ki they are dead, so it would be more of an aftereffect, and a decent way to save on times making graves, so I guess it could work like that. So the only other thing I am not sure about now is the Ultimate Regeneration.

Well yeah, I specified that the void thing killed more or less, or clarified rather. Ultimate Regen is basically Majin Regen except it also works vs some extreme magic abilities such as Soul Split and the like, but isn't as instantaneous or blood free. And without a majin's body manipulation, poison or Baby stuff will affect them for a decent amount of time and the like, same with Psionic attacks as well. And imagine the downsides of having this regen and knowing you have it, how would that make the character act? I know Deadpool is pretty fun because of it :P.

To be fair, its a character with 0 ki attacks, which in DBZ, are sort of a big thing. No planet busting, for example.

Name: Android 58

Appearance: Similar in appearance to Android 18 except her hair is silver, the eyes are green and she wears a black version of the outfit that Trunks wore when he came back in time.

Age: 23

Race: Android

Gender: Female

Personality: Unlike a few other androids, Android 58 is a lively outgoing android who enjoys helping people out and enjoys being around people in general. She dislikes being alone for long periods of time and most of her off time consists of her training against whoever wishes to fight against her.

Bio: Android 58 was created twenty three years ago and was given experimental circuitry salvaged from the Red Ribbon army that allows her to better understand how humans see the world. In many respects, she is similar to humans: She enjoys visiting with people, she enjoys having fun but in other respects her Android side shows such as her love of training and having problems with identifying certain human emotions. She began training against opponents when she was ten years old and due to her programming was able to locate weaknesses in her opponent's fighting styles that gave her a bit of an edge. As she fought more and more opponents, the programming that allowed her to identify weaknesses in fighting styles somehow integrated itself to her and has become a permanent part of her. As she grew up, she couldn't help but notice that whoever had created her had used certain aspects of the long deceased Android 18's image in parts of her constriction. This has always been somewhat confusing to her, who would do such a thing and why?

Aura Color: Gold

Preferred Fighting Style: Ki blasts and limited melee attacks

Signature Combat Techniques:

Energy Mine - Launches a ball of energy which violently explodes on contact with a target.

Finger Beam - Fires a thin blast of energy from the index finger.

Flight - Able to fly without the use of ki

Hell's barrage - Fires a rapid barrage of powerful energy blasts that do massive damage to a single target. When used against various opponents it works quite well in disrupting and separating opponents from each other.

Hell fire Blast - Similar to an attack used by the long deceased Android 16 except it has been modified. Android 58 is able to fire two massive blasts of energy from her hands at a target. It's very powerful but it drains quite a bit of power.

@Archmage MC
Well I'm feeling aright about the void character at this point, go ahead and write them up.

If you want to nix the kaio-ken idea, and how I'm getting around it, let me know now and I'll make an Android character. I always felt kaio-ken was an interesting concept that wasn't explored as well as it could have been, and I want to experiment with it.

Dredge Hilura [+]

Name: Dredge Hilura

Appearance [+]

Appearance:

Age: 36

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Personality:
Savage in battle, holding no quarter, Dredge never pulls his punches. In a universe in which every single sentient being is stronger than he, he can afford no less.
Outside of battle, however, the warrior turns to a soft-hearted, well-meaning example to everyone he meets. He fully embraces the 'great power, great responsibility' train of thought, and will give the shirt off of his back if he felt he had to. This by no means is an indicator of his naivete, however, he is no mountain-child, he lived in the slums of earth for much of his life until he adopted the way of the martial artist.
Likely due to his upbringing, however, Dredge is prone to infrequent fits of rage and is constantly suppressing violent urges.

Bio:
Born and raised in the slums of the earth, Dredge is a living exception to the rule. Around the age of fourteen, he decided he would work his way out of the slums, and the only way he knew how was from behind the offensive stance of martial arts. After being seen mid-combat by a true practitioner, he was given a chance to join the Turtle school to refine his abilities.
It was seen soon that he was naturally gifted in the ways of martial arts and ki techniques, but when sparring with his alien partners, he rarely stacked up. As befitting of his species, he at his strongest could barely hold up against the weakest androids or namekians. It was in his early twenties that he unlocked the secrets of the kaio-ken technique, the veritable forbidden fruit that allowed him to bring himself to a level much closer to the rapidly strengthening opponents he found himself fighting.
The problem was the technique, while it certainly made him strong, literally wrecked his body the further he pushed it. When he just started using it, he could barely multiply his power three times without putting himself in the hospital, and anything further risked his life. He needed a solution, because his opponents were only growing in strength.
He found the solution in the Capsule Corps' medical department: Nanites.
In her later years, Bulma Briefs would attempt to try and make a synthetic version of the senzu beans that saved her warrior friends so many times. Even after death, she never succeeded, but came close by creating nano-machines that sped up the healing process of whomever hosted them by a factor of ten.
He had to sign more than a thousand waivers to allow himself to be experimented on, but they proved worth it - the machines worked beyond his wildest dreams. They allowed him to safely push the limits to a factor of five, and if he went further, he just needed time to heal. The only downside being that the miraculous machines needed more fuel than his kinetic motions could create, so he has a ravenous hunger, able to put down literal tons of food in just a few sittings.

As time went on, he found himself travelling and training. He fought to protect and he fought to rebuild. Hearing the stories of the World Trade Organization made anger bubble up inside of him, and hearing that there could be a resurgence in another form made him vow to fight it no matter the cost. Even if he was David, and the universe was Goliath, he knew he could do it, he just had to persevere.

Aura Color: Lightning blue.

Preferred Fighting Style: (Melee/Ki Blasts/Balanced)
Balanced, though with a preference towards melee.

Signature Combat Techniques:
Kaio-ken (his 'safe' limit rests around Kaio-ken x10, though his absolute maximum rests around a hefty x29 during a life-or-death battle with a majin and his namekian cohort.)

Various ki-blasts,

Big Bang Attack,

Kamehameha,

Big Bang Kamehameha.

Character development spoiler [+]

And if you caught that little detail I had hidden in there, yes, he does indeed have a little saiyan in him. The only problem is, it's so infinitesimal that even CC didn't detect it during their tests. So the potential for a SS transformation exists, but I'll save it for a very important occassion, and given how the story progresses, it may never even happen.

Kaio-Ken is a legitimate technique and the idea of nanites being the way to get around the huge strain on the body seems a very human solution to the problem. I see no problem with the character, though I would prefer if you put spaces between paragraphs for readings sake. Approved.

Name: Light
Appearance:
Age: 24
Race: Void Demon (Custom)
Gender: Female
Personality: Light is smart carefree individual with a poor grasp on consequences. She prefers to make jokes instead of be serious in almost all situations. She values Freedom above almost everything, and gets angry when she sees it being undeservedly taken from someone.
Bio: Coming from the dimension between dimensions, the Void, Light came looking for some fun and found herself in the middle of some intergalactic problem. Figuring that fighting this new menace could be fun, she joined up with the resistance to these organizations, after all, it wasn't right to take away the freedom of others.

Aura Color: Void Purple
Preferred Fighting Style: Melee (Can't use Ki attacks)
Signature Combat Techniques:


Fusion Punch - Light's strongest punch which grows in power depending on how much energy she has leeched in the past hour. Using this attack expends all leeched energy.

Flight - Self explanatory

Signature Combat Techniques:

Racial Abilities [+]

Enhanced Strength - Light is much stronger than average.

Ultimate Regeneration - Light has the ability to regenerate from any injury besides atomization, including supernatural injuries such as being turned to candy, having her soul ripped out, and the like.

Entropy - Light absorbs the energy from whatever she touches, causing it to be unable to regain energy until it is no longer touching her. More powerful impacts from her attacks will leech more energy than grapples. Light can't have her energy stolen, and any enemy attempting to steal it will instead lose energy at the rate at which they'd be stealing it. All energy absorbed by Light increases her Speed.

Void Shield - Light can shield herself with Void energy, absorbing most energy based projectiles. Strong energy projectiles will go past the shield without any trouble. Light is stationary when using this technique.

Magic Armor - Light is highly resistant to Magic based attacks.

Slow Start - Light is fairly slow until she has leeched some energy.

Fusion Punch - Light's strongest punch which grows in power depending on how much energy she has leeched in the past hour. Using this attack expends all leeched energy.

Flight - Self explanatory

Character accepted.

@axiom12 Put your character in the character section, with that we'll have five characters [two of which are my own] which is more than enough to start this shindig.

Others can possibly join later but we'll be more than ready to get going now. Charge up your ki but don't take too long squatting or you'll get knocked down. Ha ha.

Imprompt Poll.

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys feel about the Saiyan Race being extinct? Yay? It gives the other races more screen time and prevents Zenkai abuse. Or, Nay? We want Saiyans and we promise not to abuse their racial traits?

Thoughts appreciated. Personally I think the roleplay is fine as is but I'm happy to hear input.

Honestly, I'd like to play as a Sayian, and I think as long as the Zenkai or Super Sayian form weren't abused it would be an alright race to play as.

can I join this?

I think sayans, even super sayans, are a non issue if you use Xenoverse logic or logic from the gamse instead of the Anime. I mean, toryama isn't very good at writing in the first place, and his writing is the only reason goku/vageta are the stars instead of a bunch of chars like One Piece or Bleach.

Basically everyone is balanced with each other in different ways.
