I'm interested. I do not really like the idea of a point buy system in a forum based rp. to me it takes away from the creative writing side and goes more into a tabletop game. The successful DB roleplays I played in used a limit on techniques. So basically our characters would start off with three or four average techniques with one strong one and as the rp moved along and our characters got stronger then they would develop new techniques and potential transformations. Trust me when I say that the characters were fairly balanced and we had some awesome figts

@Sebastian
I think you missed my question. Where do majins stand here? Because you said no canon characters, and without Buu, majins can't really be a thing.

if anyone is interested this page contains some interesting fan made transformations, as well as some of lesser quality

What do you think about auto hitting? I've been in a couple of db rps that allowed it for physical attacks and basic energy blasts, but we couldn't auto hit with powerful energy techniques or kill moves

@Darkmoon Angel

My apologies I did miss your question. We actually decided to go another route with the roleplay instead of taking out the entire dbz cast we are actually going to be one of the various alternate universes, so that the original DBZ universe will exist and still be intact but just in another universe far from ours. That said Majin's will exist in the universe were going to be living in. So they will be an open race to play when the roleplay gets up and going.

@Weird Tales

To answer your question about auto hitting, I have actually done this form of pvp fight many times in roleplays and it is widely successful for the most part. I would have no issue doing this so long as whoever your doing it with is fine with this method of fighting. So just make sure your both on the same page about how you want to go about your pvp fight beforehand. For those who might be unaware autohitting is basically any hit that is not considered lethal or incredibly damaging to the opponent. Usually the two people using this system will have already agreed upon this and are okay with autohits so long as they do not damage, as everyone already knows strong attacks must either be moderated or planned out ahead with the two fighters. My rule of the thumb when it comes to pvp is to usually let the roleplays decide the outcome of the match before hand and then they fight it out to the determined conclusion. If this becomes impossible or a problem than myself or a moderator in the thread can mod your fight for you.

Now as for the point system debate, it is clearly evident that the majority of interested roleplayers in this thread do not wish to see one. So its looking like we are going to be completely free form. Dark if you would still like to try and convince them of this idea, once again you are free to give it a go if not then at this point we will not be using a point system.

With those questions and debates taken care of if everyone would be so kind, we need to start discussing the first Arc, we did decide to do an adventure where everyone meets. I have come up with some idea's on that, I will type them up a bit later after my second work shift but you all can feel free to start throwing around idea\s and perhaps we can find something we all would love to do.

@Sebastian how about a saiyan invasion arc?

@Sebastian I'm not really sure on ideas. Could go with a big threat like Red Ribbon, a martial arts tourney, or something personal like Goku's quest for the Dragon Balls.

Also if my character has a katana, will it just shatter on Blitz's abs if its not a special artifact?

@Sebastian
Shouldn't you make the character sheets first so we can make our characters and then see how they will meet each other?

@Sebastian

Also since we're free-ballin power levels in this game gotta be careful of enemy progression in the arcs. That is if you want to hold onto any semblence of consistency. Can't go from universal hero to home town conflict. So if we beat an advanced robot army or defend against an alien space invasion then local laws and police suddenly mean nothing.

A treasure hunt would be good as it sets multiple little challenges across various locations but let's not make it dragon balls.
Country v country conflict. A neighbouring King / ruler suddenly wants all his ancient family heirlooms back and he is threatening to invade if they are not returned to him. Problem is, it's unknown where they all are.

Some are lost, others owned or hidden. In safe places, forgotten places, protected places, dangerous places.
A secret organisation wants war and for the artefacts to stay hidden.
Greedy people want to steal and sell them for their own gain.
Others just want to keep what belongs to them and won't give it up easily.

And of course there are two militaries accidentally or deliberately getting in the way all the time.

Count me as possibly interested.

I'll be honest, I'd probably be more interested if I could get permission to have a bit ridiculous of a character that isn't ridiculously involved.

Basically someone who's lazy and overconfident, so they don't go all out. Or something.

Or something. I'm up for suggestions, at any rate. I'm kinda wanting to do someone who doesn't show their true potential very often, or something. I'm pretty indecisive, honestly.

@SebastianAs @hatakekuro suggested, you should start by creating a Character Sheet so we can start making characters for this game.

If you're looking for a situation that "immediately" brings all the characters together, then you're going to need it to be a HUGE situation. As others have suggested: a tournament, military conflict, or an invasion of some sort.

If you're planning for characters to only join as the lead character finds them, then there can be a unique conflict that can happen specifically for each character that he comes across. This allows the writer of the character he discovers to create a special event to introduce their character.

Either way, in order for the first arc to happen successfully, you need to cut off the amount of players you are allowing to join your game. Just pause applications until the arc is complete. You have to because people will keep joining the game and you'll never get through them all unless, you go with the first idea where you create a massive event that brings them all together.

If you decide to create a "big event" it should be something that will forever be known in the game's history. There are many games where they make a huge incident and it goes forgotten in the game lore as though it never happened or it wasn't of any big signficance when it was. If this event happens, it should affect the city, region, or even world. Meaning, it could lead to new enemies later or it can be mentioned throughout the game as a reference for something.

I hear you all, my apologies work was a bit trying today. I got the whole afternoon off tomorrow so I am going to get up a character sheet, determine the cut off and our starting power levels and such tomorrow.

I have some idea's for a character, which is basically a cross between Spiderman and Tien, so you can bet that I'm planning to have him learn the Four witches technique, but I need some help. Does anyone have suggestions for what to call Taran's race?

@Duthguy
Considering there's names like Majin, Namekian, Frost Demons (which I don't remember if it's cannon or not), Saiyans...

You could probably run a race name generator and go with something.

@DuthguyArachne?

@Duthguy He looks pretty human to me, just wearing a costume. You could handwave any special abilities from his race as simple martial arts techniques.

I overlooked that pic lol. He's just some guy in a one piece.

You are right he is human in that picture, but basically I want to use that pic as base for his appearance while making him an alien. Should have been more clear

I'm interested, if I can use a Frost Demon/Freeza Race character. Could be a good opportunity to showcase the politics of that clan and how someone like Freeza could even rise to power in the first place.

@Double
Have you watched Super?
