This is STRICTLY DragonBall. So Piccolo is a Demon King, No half-saiyans, and Goku is an immensely powerful child with a tail. If this RP is successful enough, we may move on to the Z-Era, but with an entirely separate AU story.

I'm definitely going to be Red Ribbon, but I'm flipping between an Android or a Captain. I just can't decide.

Going for a Captain. Androids are not starting-level things.

Name: Captain Lilac
Age: 27
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Weapons: Sniper rifle, pistol, Red Ribbon Army standard issue box of capsules including a cottage, a jeep, a speedboat, and a jetcopter. She also has exceptional skill in military-grade unarmed combat, putting her on par with a great martial artist. She is not a martial artist, though. She fights to kill, not for sport.

History: Lilac is a Captain of the Red Ribbon Army, serving under General Copper, though every member of the Red Ribbon army knows that the real boss is Commander Red. Few have actually seen him, though. He gives his orders through his generals. Red has recently heard a rumor about seven mystical objects called 'Dragonballs' but doesn't want to waste resources until the rumor has been confirmed. Lilac Squad has been assigned to this task; They are to search for the Dragonballs, and if they exist, obtain them all. If they cannot obtain them all, then their secondary objective is to learn more about these mystical balls. This task is highly confidential, not to be talked about under pain of death, but Lilac can keep a secret.

I do personality better on the spot than I do on a CS.

I'm willing to let you go ahead and do them in the IC, just as long as you don't 'forget'.

How do you forget to give a character a personality? How can that even happen?

Well, what I do is I write down a general guideline of what the character is going to act like determined by the character's backstory and motivation, and it's so people can look at it and determine whether you're actually playing your character.

Is it bad that a lot of times I actually have no idea what my character's personality is (Like, can't even sum it up in three words) until I actually start playing them?

Either way I thought up a history this morning so i'll be putting that in.

I wouldn't say it's bad per-se but I personally try to get a good grip on the character before I post anything, otherwise it doesn't really feel complete to me, because I'm wierd like that. I mean personality can change during the roleplay, that happens, but otherwise I feel I'm not really posting a character, just a collection of abilities and a meatbag to put them in and give them form.

Unless I consciously give them a set personality to base their decisions and reactions off of, I tend to just make my characters do what I would do in certain situations and project my own beliefs on them and such which leads to everything becoming very inconsistent.

I definitely think it's good to take a step back and have at least a base idea of their personality and motives in hand before starting, otherwise it's too easy to just mold them around the situation they're in.

Anyway, assuming we're both accepted, Carrot, do you think it'd be reasonable for my character to have been assigned to Lilac squad? It'd be an excuse to get some interaction happening early on. But if you don't, that's kewl, Bo could just as easily be off on her own looking for the Dragonballs.

@Zero: Different strokes for different folks. I personally find the personality section of a CS the hardest bit by far, even if I know my character's personality. It's still really hard for me to put it into words. I usually just waffle on for a small paragraph and then the character deviates from what I've written.

@Dance : Sounds good to me!

I guess I should of specified that all were accepted. Give me a little while, and I'll post my own bio.

@ Carrot - Excellent!

@ Coake - Also excellent!

sooo is this still going to happen?

Yes just give me a little bit to make up a bio. I've been very pre-occupied.

no it's cool, just checking since RPs have that wonderful tendency to die at the drop of a hat

Oh cool, I was beginning to wonder.

Anyways, thanks for the naming suggestions, Zero, I've been trying to work out a new name based on chinese/japanese for words like unripe, unripened, immature and stuff like that but nothing seems to be working out for me, even if I bastardize them into being merely based off of those words.

I realised what I was doing with 'Bruhn' was to go with one of the more vague and less ethnic ones and just come up with a random name that sounded 'Dragonball-ish' such as Puar, Krillin, Launch or Broly. I didn't realise how many of these names were actually puns though!

All of the names I'm getting so far are too 'complicated' and civilized sounding whereas I wanted my character's name to be simple and barbaric.

Regardless! I shall push onward! I'm certain to have something by the time this actually gets going.
