Welcome to the Frieza Force



One way or another, you have found yourself under the employ of the Great and Terrible Frieza. Whether you were already a criminal wanting the protection of the most powerful being in the universe, were just one nasty costumer who happened to catch the tyrant's eye, or were a brave fighter of a planet he conquered and decided to join him rather than perish, you're a loyal soldier in Frieza's army now. Specifically, you are part of Frieza's invasion force. As such, you are paired with a team of fighters of similar skill to yourself, and sent to new planets where you destroy the civilization living there, offering the planet up to Frieza to use as a base or to sell to the highest bidder. Will you and your crew stay faithful, wreaking havoc in the fiendish Tyrant's name? Will they get ambitious and attempt to overthrow him? Or along the way, will you grow a conscience and decide that what your doing is wrong, no matter the cozy benefits you're afforded. TUNE IN NEXT TIME, ON DRAGON BALL Z.

So, now that you know the gist of the RP, lets talk a little about how we're going to play. First, I need to inform you of a few things that I feel might put a damper on our fun in the long run.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
I will not be allowing Saiyans or Namekians as playable races. One, I don't want to try to deal with Zenkai boosts. I also don't want anyone thinking they're going to be a super saiyan.

We will be starting with relatively low power levels. We'll start with power levels of around 1000 to 1200. There's definitely room to grow here, and it'll be a driving force in the rp. Nothing wrong with gaining more power, right?

We will be running into canon characters along the way, usually members of the Frieza Force, such as Appule, Cui, Zarbon, and Dodoria, or even the Ginyu Force. However, we will not be running into Goku, or any of the Z Fighters (Except maybe Vegeta). Our story is going to be in its own bubble. I'm going to follow the canon for each specific character, but not really the timeline. That way if we want Cui or Zarbon to die, we can do that.

This RP will be freeform, so try to stay believable to your power level. Something like destroying a planet would take at least a powerlevel of 18,000. For now, we won't mess with transformations or forms. I know some races can do things like that, such as Zarbon, but we'll hold off to discuss stuff like that as we get deeper into the RP.

Potentially interested, but I have a few questions!

I'm assuming that Saiyans and Namekians being off limits is as much to avoid any one player from pulling too much of the "main character" spotlight to themselves as it is about the inevitable power-creep, right? But how fast should Players expect power creep within the RP to be, in general?

And what about non-typical abilities for different races, things that don't just come down to who can punch harder or who has more Ki? Such as Guldo and Hit's abilities to stop time, cellular regeneration, the ability to use magic, and other stuff? Are those things also off the table entirely or do they just need to be scaled down enough to be reasonable?

@Wayward
Awesome! Looks good to me! His regeneration is slow enough that I'll allow it.

@Zeroth
Good questions!
1. Yeah, I had a lot of reasons. One being that I feel like everyone would pick one of those races, and they both have skills that seem a bit too powerful for everyone to have a more equal footing. The Saiyans have the zenkai boost and potential for super saiyan, and Namekians have ultra fast regeneration and the ability to sync with other Namekians, increasing their power several-fold. I just thought it'd be easier to nip it in the bud.

2. I would like our characters to get more powerful fairly quickly. I'm thinking this first planet they have to conquer will be quite the challenge. They'll be dealing with gravity far greater than normal, and though most won't put up too much of a fight, I plan on having a few heavies along the way to really challenge our characters. I figure we can expect a pretty decent jump by the time we finish the first planet, our power levels could climb into the 10k's. In long term, I figure we can just keep getting stronger as long as we play. I guess to answer your question, I think the power levels we see in Frieza saga are about as high as we'll go, since that's when they kind of stop mattering. So I'd say we could see power levels into the low millions maybe.

3. Racial skills are definitely allowed, and even encouraged I'll say. If needs be, I can talk with anyone who wants a specific ability, and as long as it matches with our power levels and our vibe, it'll probably be fine! Like I said, I'm also happy to talk transformations as well, I just think it'd be easier to handle something like that when we have higher power levels.

Feel free to talk to me as much as you want about character building, and even ideas for the rp itself. You can DM me, talk here, or on Discord.

Also, for everyone interested, would you like me to make a discord for us to chat in? And I do have Rhubari as the commander for now, but as we get more characters in, we can always hold it to a vote. I don't want it to feel like I'm trying to be main character

@RogueFox are you figuring to have this run up until where Freeza would get beat by Goku on Namek?

Or are we flirting more with an alternate universe?

Alternate. That way if our characters want to rebel, the option is there, and it's possible they could win. Just sorta depends on when they would decide to.

@Zeroth@Wayward

So, how long did you both want to wait? I figure we could play with the 3 of us. We could also set a deadline to see if anyone else wants to join. Also, be sure to bring up any questions, comments, or concerns! I try to be really open when I run an rp cuz I want it to be fun for everyone. And, finally, is it okay to keep Rhubari as squad leader for now?

@RogueFox I wouldn't mind waiting a big longer for more players. Rhubari as squad leader is fine by me.

I guess if I had any questions at this point, maybe what kind of planet and inhabitants we're starting out on? Would we be visiting the DB-Earth at any point?

@Zeroth I didn't think we'd be heading to DB Earth. It's often regarded as a nothing planet that no one cares about so we wouldn't have much reason to go.

Alrighty! I'll put out an ad or two, and we can see about starting next week regardless? I'm just not sure how many more people we'll get. This is pretty niche haha

Usually the interest check is put up before the actual RP topic, but in this case it probably wouldn't hurt to make one after the fact. You could put it in both the Casual Interest Checks and the General Interest Checks with links back to this topic.

In the spirit of this RP, I've been indulging in watching clips from the Big Green dub of DBZ. LOL
