@Terminal Yeaaah... it's honestly kind of a similar situation with me. Like, there's Azamat, Piccolo, and maybe some NPCs for my characters (well, mostly Expial, since Luceptor's in his room) to interact with... and then nobody. Which could be solved if you had Charis turn up at the tournament too with a significant degree of power... I'm not sure why you're against that, but it's an idea.

I was going to write Charis as having extreme anti-Saiyan sentiments, and holding immense disdain for transformation states - especially Super Saiyan, Arcosian, and Capsule-Derived States. . .[snip]

She's very big on skill and technique versus raw power, see, which was why I planned on pitting her as an antagonist tooled for a protagonist party I initially assumed would be a mix of Saiyans, Humans, Namekians, and Androids - and perhaps Majin as well, on the higher end of scale.

Cue everybody making Arcosians and Makaioshins.

As she gains more power she will gain increasingly sophisticated ki techniques that emphasize form over force - which is already something her current build is aimed at. As for boosting her up to two-four thousand, at best that would only really put her in the same ballpark as the Namekian character - making her 'third weakest.'

@Terminal I mean... why not just set her pre-game power level to a more equivalent level to the other characters? Keeping in mind that the characters we're playing as are nominally extraordinary examples of their respective species, save characters who are notably weaker than their racial norm such as the Arcosian twins, I don't think it'd be too horrendous to play as a human with a power level rivalling the relatively high-level fighters we've seen so far; hell, maybe that's why she's been vanishing so frequently, if she's been out training for extended periods of time in a place where time is sped up relative to the outside world. There are obviously limits to what's reasonable, but I don't think starting her off with a power level of, say, fifteen thousand is too unreasonable, again given that she's an exceptional example of how powerful human beings can feasibly get; I think that's about the level Halvtand planned to put his character at, anyway, and at that point, Expial is actually the weakest PC in the game outside of Thess' base form.

Paging @Halvtand. After reading the description for your Android, I realize you probably had your own ideas for introducing them - but if you are currently lacking/would like to explore alternate avenues, I left an opening for their introduction in my post as one of the Androids tasked with exploring the Estate. Being a creation of the old Regime of the RR army, either Royal Robotics or the Royal Army might be using that particular task in order to evaluate how trustworthy/effective they are.

But if that's not what you had in mind, it's not problem. I can proceed regardless. I just thought I would make the offer so long as I was using androids at all in the first place.

@Halvtand Well that makes sense. Glad to see you haven't abandoned us entirely, but just make sure you don't screw up your IRL scheduling either; as Thess implied earlier, IRL requirements take precedence over the internet.

EDIT: You know what I just realised? There's only three PCs participating in the Galactic Tournament proper as of this post; one of them is the GM's character, and the other two are my own. There's time for more PCs to actually enter before it starts, of course, but that's a surprisingly low number of people whose active purpose is getting involved in the tournament itself. I wonder if making a third character might not be pushing my influence a bit too much...

There is no good reason to assume the Android will possess the capacity to enter the tournament with any expectation of victory in the short time period available to it, even if one assumes that it manages to find out that there's even a tournament going on before then. It's been implied that much of its story arc will take place on Earth regardless, at least early on, but either way, entering the tournament currently seems to be far out of reach for it.

The only wild card I can think of is Harkon, who may be compelled to enter the tournament by the voice in his head that was previously Limac. However, since it has not yet been suggested by Halvtand that he will enter the tournament at any point, I cannot assume he will do so; thus, I shall assume that he won't for the time being, and even if he does, he certainly isn't affiliated with the Arcosians at this time.
