So what I can see here is a fairly even split on the issue, which is about what I expected.  No doubt I could bring Saiyans and make it more balanced but the temptation to go all SS at inappropriate times would still be there.  With this roleplay I felt it was time to pass on the torch to the other races and humans which is why the Saiyan extinction is in effect.

Now, I'm something of a fan of the Dragonball Online thing - where the Saiyans as a race are extinct, but the bloodline still exists within humanity, the only caveat being that it's extremely thinned out to the point where all humans can, with training, use ki efficiently, but only those with a high enough concentration of Saiyan blood could go Super Saiyan (though the term may very well be Super Human at that point.)[/quote]

Yes, this is pretty much exactly what I had in mind.  I played a little of Dragonball Online but never got very far cause of language barriers.  Dragonball Xenoverse is essentially the child of that game but of course they had to include Saiyans as a playable custom race to make sure people played the game. XD

In any case I'm still thinking I'll stick to my original design of all the Saiyan blood only still being active in a small amount of the human population, which is as Saiyan as we're gonna get.

Alright, so I'm interested in this RP, if mildly apprehensive about joining. Before anything else, I'd say don't allow Saiyan characters, just in case somebody decides they want to start with SSj777 unlocked for a power increase that lets them annihilate planets just by being in their proximity... that's an extreme example, of course, but I assume you want to keep the actual power of the characters in this RP relatively low, and considering that a character with 0.0035% of a brand-new Super Saiyan's power (Frieza's 530,000 PL, compared to Goku's estimated 150,000,000) can casually destroy planets with presumably many times more mass than Earth in a single attack, it's safe to assume Saiyans are probably not needed or desirable.

Speaking of Frieza, I had an idea for a player race: Arcosians, a.k.a. that one race that fanon has pegged as Frieza's race. Obviously, Frieza and his close relatives would be mutants of absurd power compared to the average Arcosian; if you, the players and GM, would like me to go over my ideas for the Arcosian race in this RP, if indeed they would be allowed at all, just say so, and I'll write up what I had in mind tomorrow. Because it is really, really late for me at the time of writing this, and I don't want to mess it up by being sleep-deprived.

Arcosians, well can't hurt to say your peace.  I used an Arcosian myself in a role play with quite a bit of success so I can see it being used, but we'll see.
