Meat and Potatoes

This is a role play based in the Dragon Ball Universe. There are certain aspects of the DBU that will be highly-manipulated for the sake of making this a workable RP idea. If while you are reading over this game, you decide that you are not interested, then please move on and do not cause any drama. This will be an original universe. All canon characters from the manga and series do not exist. In this DBU world, the story will revolve around what we make of it. This game will have elements of sandbox with a GM-led plot. It is highly-encouraged for players to interact and write together in order to make a nice story.

I do not plan for this game to move that fast. I expect the game to move leisurely. If you are expecting a rapid-fire game, then move along. Do not join this game because it will move in a patient manner not to exceed two weeks of inactivity. Players have 14 days to get in contact with the GM if they haven’t told the GM already about their absences. A player who hasn’t posted in 30 days will automatically be dropped from the game.

In this DBU game, as a GM, I am hoping to see some creative ideas within the limitations provided by my game. As with the DB franchise, the combat in this game will be important and players will be rewarded for participating in such scenarios. If your combat writing is poor, then you can expect it to get better in this game. While most of the combat encounters will be PVE, there will be opportunities for PVP. Players do not have to participate in PVP, but those who do will be rewarded. The PVP will not be PVP for the sake of PVP but will come around during specific plotlines in the story. I just gave you the run-down of the entire game and how it will go. If you’ve made it this far, continue on to learn more.

Setting

The planet is Fictional Earth (Dragon World), but this is an alternate universe of DBU. While all the events originally took place in Universe 7, our Universe is Parallel Universe 7 (reverse 7). In this universe, Planet Vegeta still exists and has not been blown to pieces. This universe is a clean plate, so whatever happens, happens and becomes a part of this universe’s history. Earth is modern-futuristic with its technology. Flying vehicles, robots, and compact-space technology exist; and space travel is possible though not common. Earth currently is very xenophobic and very few people who are sane or not in such a field of study believe that aliens exist or that there is even life in outerspace.

The continent in which this game exists is unnamed in the series, but for this game we’re going to call it “Kujira,” which is Japanese for “whale.” The map is oddly in the shape of a whale, and so therefore, that is the name. Below is a map created by a DeviantArt artist, and it will be the map used in this game. All canon references can be ignored. However, use this for reference for your character’s origin story.



Races

Below I am listing only the major races allowed in this game. If you do not see a certain race in this game, then it is not permitted. OC races are not allowed in this game.

Earthlings

Humans: Humans are the dominant race in Kujira. Unlike how they are depicted in the DB franchise, in this game, humans stand as much of a chance as Saiyans. However, what separates a superhuman from an average human in this world is their martial arts. Martial artists possess a higher level of ki and have the discipline to transcend to a much stronger level. Other sub-races included in the human category are: magi, cyborgs, mutants, and bio-engineered humans. These sub-races may have unique qualities such as weapon programs, supernatural abilities, and magic.
  • Magi only grow stronger by learning new spells. Magi are incapable of sensing/using ki. Instead, magi are capable of sensing magic and paranormal occurrences caused by another magi tampering with magic.
  • Cyborgs only grow stronger by acquiring weapon upgrades, which they can only acquire from a scientist or engineer, thus making them dependent on such a character existing in game. They are not able to use ki. They cannot sense ki naturally and instead will have to acquire the ability by a special program.
  • Mutants are limited by their mutation. The ability their mutation granted them is the only ability that will grow stronger. Mutants are not martial artists. They focus on developing their mutant ability. They cannot sense ki, but they can sense other mutants.
  • Bio-Engineered Humans these are humans who were either artificially created through genetic engineering or had genetic engineering performed on their bodies. These humans are naturally above average and are created/designed for a purpose. They are often seen bound to a government agency. Similar to Cyborgs, these humans can only advance in strength by undergoing experimentation. Therefore, their creator must be a character in the game.

Clarification: The sub-race of Human are an option. Players can play normal humans, but if you want your normal human to stand a chance in this game, then he or she must know a martial art. The martial art can be completely made-up or inspired by an actual martial art. If you are planning to make a hybrid style of multiple martial arts, instead of listing the martial art styles, just make an original martial art. Spare us.

Beastmen: Beastmen are animals except for insects and mythical animals. Dinosaurs exist on Kujira just as normal animals exist. The Beastmen are a race who are anthropomorphic mammals and reptiles, and can be dinomen as well. The Dragon class or any mythical species does not naturally exist on Earth, and instead, is treated as a foreign species. It can also be treated as a summoned creature by a Magi. I am willing to twist some things for those who wish to have a dragon Beastman or some other mythic Beastmen—however, there will be a very hard limit on these types. Like humans, there can be cyborg, mutant, and bio-engineered beastmen. Beastmen possess the qualities of the animal whose appearance they mimic, which makes them naturally above the average human. For a normal beastman (non-subrace Beastman) to be above the average beastman, the beastman would have to be a martial artist.

Androids: Androids are a common sight mostly around populated cities. They perform several services such as cleaning, building, travel guide, interpreter, etc. They are even programmed to serve defense purposes such as assisting police officers in stopping crime or the military in combating terrorists. The artificial intelligence (A.I.) of an android can be as advanced as they are capable of human-like emotion or as simplistic as basic computation. The human or beastman types are very rare for they require tons of money and resources to create. These machines are rarely seen and if they do exist, very few people can tell them apart from anyone else. Androids can function without a creator, however, if they wish to advance in power, then they need an engineer who will grant them such enhancements.

Aliens

Not all alien races are listed here. Why? Because they are not permitted in this game. If you don’t like that, then do not join. This does not mean you won't see these alien races in the game, it just means they are not playable.

Saiyans: Just a warning, if this game receives too many Saiyans, then I will limit the race. The only sub-race I’ll allow of the Saiyan race is a Half-Saiyan/Half-Human. If you do plan to make a Half-Saiyan/Half-Human, then I expect an explanation to be in your character’s origin story seeing as Planet Vegeta exists and the Saiyans are a conqueror race. If you plan to play a Saiyan period, then there better be a valid explanation for why they are on Earth, how did they get here, and what is their goal? [Race Reference: Saiyans]

Namekians: All the Namekians resemble males, and they reproduce asexually. I am not going to write a race description for them. You can read about them here. [Race Reference: Namekian]


This is a summary of the first saga of the game. Players can sandbox and will be able to see this plot gradually unfold as they play.

GM Plot Type: PvE (PVP is optional between players who agree to it)
The World Martial Arts Tournament, “The Number One Under Heaven Martial Arts Gathering,” was once the grounds of an old temple. Every three years, Earth’s strongest fighters gather to show the world their prowess and why they think they should be the next World Champion. Besides the World Title, the winner will receive ten million zeni. While second place will receive five million, third place three million, fourth place two million, and fifth place one million. The rules are if a competitor steps outside the ring (the square cement platform), is unable to stand up before a count of ten seconds, or gives up, automatically loses. If both fighters are knocked out and neither can reach their feet by a count of ten, then it is a draw. If this were to happen in the final match, then the tournament will wait until either unconscious fighter becomes conscious. The conscious competitor then must stand to their feet and declare “I am the champion!”

Weapons, protective body gear, or teams are forbidden in the tournament. Natural weapons are permitted such as claws if this is applicable to your species. Poking someone in the eyes or hitting them in the groin is not allowed—although the latter can be overlooked if it was “accidental.” The most important rule is that killing the opponent is not allowed. Disobeying any of these rules results in a disqualification from the tournament.

The Story: Your character has arrived to the World Martial Arts Tournament as either a participant or a spectator. During the tournament, there is a group of shady humans (at least they appear to be) who have been somehow knocking their opponents unconscious. Moments later, your character learns that the opponents knocked unconscious mysteriously die by unknown circumstances afterwards. This doesn’t seem right; and though the shady group didn’t sign up as a team (because that would be disqualifying), they seem to all be seeking to get into the top five. What are they hoping to collect all the zeni for? You can’t let them succeed!

Player Goal: Your goal is to come to this Saga with a character who is not at “end game” level. What I mean by “end game” level is you don’t create a character that has nothing to learn because they know everything like a Mary Sue. Allow your character to grow and develop. Allow your character to meet other characters and don’t make too many NPCs to the point you’re writing with yourself. Do not come here to write with yourself. This is a role playing “group game.” Write together! Build stories. This saga is going to be added to your character’s back story after.



Character Creation

Feel free to utilize these two links for character sheet decoration. 1001fonts for fonts that you can right click, “Copy Image Link” (Google Chrome) and use an image code to stylize your sheet. You can use this link HTML Color Codes for color codes not offered on this website. Simply enter the code the same way it appears in a color code.


Rules


1. Do not come to this game to argue. If you read over this recruitment thread, and saw something that you didn't like, then move on.
2. No Enormous Pics/No Neon or Dark Font Colors. There is nothing wrong about using pictures. It’s when you do not size the picture down that it becomes a problem. You can use websites like pixlr or imgur (google them) to size down your pictures before you post them. If you don’t feel like resizing them, then link them or put a hider around them. Avoid using neon colors. They do nothing but hurt the eyes and nobody wants to read neon-font. Avoid somber colors that blend into the already dark background of the site. I should not have to highlight your post in order to read it. It should just be visible to read.
3. Whatever the GM says goes. I try to be fair to the best of my ability. However, I do not try to please the world nor do I care to. If we discuss an issue and we can't seem to come to an agreement, then it is best that the issue be dropped. If you remain persistent and create drama in my game, you will be reported.
4. Read my Game. I did not write this for my health. I wrote this mostly for you than for me. The number one way to get on my shit list is to show me that you didn't read my game. The best way you do this is by frequently asking me questions that are answered in the damn OP. If I suspect you're not thoroughly reading this OP, then I'm going to stop caring and you're not going to be allowed in this game. Why would I allow a person in whose hand I would have to hold throughout the entire game because they don't want to read a freakin' text role play game on a text role play site?
5. GM questions. If you ask a question, mention me. If you're talking to me, mention me. If you want my attention mention me because that is what that button is for. If it looks like I ignored you, 99.9% of the time it is because you didn't mention me and I lost your comment or question in the OOC flood. Mention me. Mention me. Mention me. I have to repeat this because people don't do it.
6. Be open and friendly. I am very big on character interaction. It is often overlooked in games. Please collaborate with other writers in this game. This game will become way more interesting if you do.
7. Romance. I like romance. Some of us do. But if you plan on walking the borderline of the Guild rules, then take it into PMs.
8. Third-Person Past Tense. The only acceptable style of writing in this game is third-person past tense.
9. Have fun. There is only so much I can do as a GM. I cannot make you have fun. I cannot make you enjoy the character that you created. I cannot make you seek out writers to collaborate with. All I do is guide the game and make sure everything goes forward and not backwards. You have to do the rest. So please make the most of this game.

All right; so because that fifth CS we were waiting on was going to take a millennia, I decided to go ahead and get this started, knowing that more interest will follow now that the game is actually up. So here's a shout-out to everyone who has shown interest:

@Hillan@Kal-El@Sloth@Lugubrious@Weird Tales@Sudkurve@Samdragonx@1Hawkeyes@Renny

If your CS has already been pre-approved, then you can post your CS in the CS thread. Those people who are approved know who they are. Those who are still working on their CS, so I don't lose it, Please PM it to me. If you keep it in the interest thread and forget to mention me, then I'm not going to know if it's finished. Thank you!

An actual DBZ roleplay that has great structure. I never thought I would see something like this ^^ I don't roleplay females too much but I am really feeling this female Saiyan, expect a CS shortly.

Also I found this oddly enough while searching for female saiyan fan art figured I would drop it here

@Holy Soldier I actually don't doubt there are, everyone loves to play the Saiyan mostly because of how powerful they are. Although if you read the information pertaining to the game like I hope people would, you did make it rather clear that all races can be powerful in this game. Me personally its not about power as much as the challenge. Saiyans are complex beings because of their stubbornness and their pride, and a female to boot, holy god the scenes alone. So in this case I couldn't resist but try to fill the spot with a good hearted yet temperamental fight loving female saiyan.

If Kail had one iconic trait most would believe it is the somewhat muscular tail that hangs down from her lower back, however in this such case her most noticeable trait would almost have to be her intense eye's. Even covered by colored contacts, her eye's are incredibly fearless and hold a rock hard cool intensiveness. Kail is almost known for never really wearing anything that is not plain or something somewhat dark in color and loose fitting for maximum mobility. When she is not being forced into wearing some kind of unneeded uniform she is usually in her training clothes which is comprised of a black or gray tank top which for the most part hides her muscular abs but revealing her toned and muscular arms. A pair of loose fitting martial arts style pants again black or gray and her trademark pair of saiyan style fighting gloves which she more or less always wears regardless. An of course her scuffed up laceless black boots which in reality are weighted like all of her training clothing is. Her dark blue hair is almost always spiked out and all over the place wildly curving in whatever direction it wants to. When powered up and or using her Ki Kails aura is a darkened Purple



_________________________________________________________________________________________________________




Kail (Pronounced K-ALE) is also known by Kaios (K-ALE-OS) as she was to her agitation nicknamed by her saiyan peers. Partly due to her chaotic nature when it comes to disrespecting the hierarchy of the Saiyan race. While she despises this name it has also become a trademark to her and is almost always synonymous whenever she is brought into conversation. It is notable in any case that if you call her this than you better be a close friend or a great fighter.




21




Saiyan




Female




Police Officer




5’11”




150 lbs




Kails hair color is dark pitch black like the rest of the Saiyan race however she has since than dyed it a deep dark hue of midnight blue with lighter blue highlights.




Again like her Saiyan peers Kail has pitch black eye's, however she wears a pair of eye color altering contacts so they appear to be a light sky blue hue.


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________




Kail has the personality of a Ceratosaurus and probably the quick to confrontation attitude of one. Like all saiyans before her and long after she has the fiery will of her race burning deep down within her, a very deep pride that no one and nothing can nor is allowed to touch. She is strong and she is very proud and even more so she believes that she can become the strongest in the universe. She does not give up and is never afraid to do what she needs to do to obtain her goals. Always pressing herself, always going that extra mile when she doesn't think she can, pushing past her boundaries. Some would consider her a bit extreme and others might categorize her as someone who never bends or breaks, but no one has ever truly seen the part of that she often hides deep down inside. The part that extends beyond her pride and her fiery attitude and her will. The same part that truly makes her different from others of her saiyan race.


Likes
  • Fighting: Lets face the facts, Kail is one who needs to fight, to be in a confrontation. If she isn't doing the punching she wants someone else to be trying to punch her. The more dangerous something seems, the more excited Kail gets and wants to be in the center of it. An excited Kail can either be a good thing to see or bad depending on which side of it your truly on.
  • Training: Kail loves to train, not like the kind of love one might get from ice cream, but a true deep down love that brings infinite joy. Kail is almost always training throughout the day, strength, speed, endurance, it doesn't really matter to her. As long as she is pushing herself to the absolute edge and almost passing out where she stands, she is completely happy.
  • Working: Kail loves her job, like some people work for the money, some people work for the pats on the back when you have a good day. Kail on the other hand loves her job because she gets to beat the crap out of what would be wannabe criminals. There is no better feeling in the world to her than taking on a gang of morons and slapping them into a cell. It true that she often finds herself a little bored being that there really isn't a criminal who has ever put up that good of a fight, but a fight is better than nothing at all. She would never admit this, even to herself but Kail also does gain a certain special satisfaction from protecting others.


Dislikes


  • Superiority: Kail absolutely hates others who lord over others just because they have a standing or power, or are strong or whatever they use to try and be better. Even more so she hates it when others try to lord over her, tries to treat her like she is not as or will ever be a good as they are. She takes nothing from nobody and will take you on even if she might lose just to prove you wrong.
  • Cruelty: Most would never use compassion and saiyan in the same sentence, mostly because saiyans are not particularly known for it. But where others of her race might never show mercy, Kail on the other hand does and will. She hates others who purposely put their own will upon others and makes them suffer for their own selfish wants.
  • Ignorance: In reality this is more pointed at Kail than it is others, for honestly when it comes to a lot of things Kail is not exactly the smartest one out of the bunch. She is a great fighter, and can learn new moves and anything fighting related really quickly and use it. But when it comes to others things, especially in the world she lives in, she does not easily understand or comprehend these concepts. Others will often times insult her intelligence which makes her incredibly angered, and she loathes those who put her down.


Combat Behavior

Kail is a very aggressive combatant, while she will never blindly jump into a fight like an amateur would, when she really gets going she goes hard as if its life or death. She is great at adaption and will never go full strength until she has figured out her opponents true strength and depth of skill. More often than not she likes to get a feel for her opponent and at the same time enjoy the moment.


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________




Like all Saiyans Kail was born on planet Vegeta to a rather extreme set of saiyans who were part of the elite upper class of the saiyan race. To simply say that Kail was born into the same class as her parents would be a bit of an oversight. Unfortunately she was born into the lower class of saiyans like many of her race were. It was this reason she was often treated like nothing more then a weakling, even by her own parents whom she knew did not hold her in any regard if at all because of her power level. There was no luxury or respect for Kail, like any foot soldier, she was when she got to the right age, sent to conquer a planet many leagues away.

It was in these years of her life that she really developed into the saiyan she became, at the first she wanted to impress her parents to impress the other saiyans and she followed orders. She wanted so bad to show them she was powerful and in it she became ruthless and killed anyone or anything that stepped in her way. But in time she realized that no matter how many planets she might conquer in the name of her race that her standing would never truly change. Eventually Kail changed, no one knows what brought about the change in her but it quickly made her stand out among her race. She was not as merciless or as cold as the others, she had the pride and the fire but she lacked what they called killer instinct and this lowered her in the eye's of the other saiyans, especially her parents.

This lead to Kails anger and her chaotic attitude towards her own race, more often than not she would consistently disrespect the elite saiyans and would try to fight them when they pushed her down. Almost daily she would get into fights and cause some kind of chaos earning her the nickname Kaios. It was this constant disrespect and her inability to develop a killer instinct that ultimately lead to her being sent from planet Vegeta, sent far away to a place, a world full of dangers where she would either learn to become a true saiyan and return to planet Vegeta or she would die there. It is unknown how or why at the time, but when Kail awoke she found herself on an unknown planet which she later discovered was called Earth.

She soon came to realize that Earth was in fact not the planet that she was ever intended to be sent to due to a malfunction in her saiyan ship. She however took quite a liking to the planet Earth and found that this place was unlike Planet Vegeta in every way. Before long she had in reality grown quite accustomed to Earth and for the first time in her life she felt a feeling of actually fitting in somewhere, well as much as one with a tail could fit in anyways. It was not exactly the easiest of transitions, but after a few years on Earth Kail had found that she never wanted to go back to Planet Vegeta. So she remained on Earth, training and slowly but surely found a way to support herself with what the earth inhabitants called a job, she became a police officer within Central Capital where she could beat people all day an not get in any kind of trouble. She eventually ended up settling just outside the city itself where she had much open space to train.

She now lives a rather peaceful life by Saiyan standards, enjoying the things that she wants to enjoy instead of being told constantly what to do. Even now though she still holds a secret goal that one day she will become strong, stronger than any of her race and than return to planet Vegeta so she can prove to them all that a low level warrior can become stronger than any other.

Technique(s)

[Final Atonement]

Final Atonement is classified as a two step finishing move. The move itself is a potent concentration of Ki within one finger in the hand very much like a bullet is being fired within the barrel of a gun. The first step of this move is final and the second step is atonement. The first phase is used as an attack to weaken the opponent and then the second phase is meant to finish them off with one powerful shot.

Final: During the Final phase ki is gathered up and is concentrated within the users chosen finger. Once the Ki is fully built up, a barrage of damaging shots leave the finger tip and strike the opponent. Depending on how many shots strike the opponent this either be extremely damaging or it won't be. The number of shots fired are determined by how much energy goes into each shot as this can be a very draining technique.

Atonement: The Atonement phase follows directly after the final phase, the remaining Ki gathered within the users finger will all be fired at once in one concentrated shot which can be deadly. This phase is only ideally used if your objective is to kill your opponent.
