[OOC] DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

[Weird Tales]

I'm basing this rp off of my experiences with previous dbz rps. The battles get chaotic and it's my duty to keep track of how Raditz is going to respond in combat

[Double]

I realize I need to post, but... ugh writing Momo's dialogue gives me migraines.

@Double

You could just have him speak normal.

[King Cosmos]

@Double have Momo absorb an English professor and gain the ability of good grammar.

[Reflection]

@Double Have him run off with Wain after the Raditz arc, and they can both come back as villains.

@Weird Tales

I've already established him using Buu speak. It would be weird to suddenly change that for no reason.

@Double have Momo absorb an English professor and gain the ability of good grammar.

@King Cosmos

Momo doesn't know about the absorption ability. At the time I figured it would keep him from just absorbing all our enemies away and becoming stupidly OP in the process.

@Double Have him run off with Wain after the Raditz arc, and they can both come back as villains.

@Reflection

If Wain presents a good reason for him to do so... that might actually be tempting. I take it you're not planning to use Wain for much longer either?

[Reflection]

@Double Wain is gonna be around for a while. I have no intention on ditching him. If anything, having Momo run off with Wain, will give him a chance to get better speaking skills. Since they mighty end up as reoccurring baddies.

WIP sheet up.

Name: Johnathan Talbot, aka Android X9
Age: It's been three years since he was brought online. He's mentally 19 or 20.
Sex: Non-reproducing, but programmed to identify as male.
Race: Android
Appearance: [Pics or descriptions are fine]
Personality:
Power Level: 750
Abilities: Experimental Infinite Energy Reactor
Transformations: N/A
Techniques: [4 is the max at the moment]

History:
The Red Ribbon Army has been a thing of the past for quite some time, brought down by a lone interloper. Of its infamous Androids, Androids 1-7 were scrapped as failures, and 8 became a hero, but few know the story of Android 9. The truth is, Android 9 was never completed, but a very early version, Android X9, was. X9, the "X" standing for "experimental," was a testbed for bleeding-edge technologies that were supposed to find their way into the completed Android 9. As a result, it resembled less an Android and more a Terminator-style endoskeleton, and an incomplete one at that. Wires spilled out everywhere, limbs barely functioned, and its programming was the definition of bare-bones. It was principally meant to test the then-unproven Infinite Energy Reactor, an invention that would have turned the tide of the war in the RRA's favor if it had managed to get to the front lines.

But, as Goku rampaged throughout Muscle Tower, one scientist had doubts about his cause. He knew the way the wind was blowing, and at this point was going to take an out from under Commander Red's thumb like a lifeline. Dr. Daniel Talbot, who was working on the Android 9 project, decided to take x9 and its precious Infinite Energy Reactor and run. He loaded the whole machine onto a spare truck, stealing the keys from a worker in the chaos, and, after turning himself in, sought an audience with the King of Earth to gain his clemency. He explained his vision for X9: a defender of Earth, using the Infinite Energy Reactor for good to stop another Red Ribbon Army in its tracks. He was given a pardon on the condition that he follow through on his promise and use X9 to help others. Dr. Talbot was given a lab, a budget, and a team, and told to get to work on overhauling the machine.

After two long years of development and research to reproduce and improve upon what Android 9 would have been, the completed Android X9 was presented to the King. But the King, while impressed with X9's combat ability, was frustrated with X9's social limitations. "A savior should be charismatic, not emotionless!" he exclaimed, and ordered Dr. Talbot to prioritize its personality. Desperation drove Dr. Talbot to eventually replicate the conditions that had caused the much-maligned Android 8 to develop sapience, and once successful, adopted X9 as his own son. John Talbot was born, and in a mere three years of social development, was ready to be the world's champion.

@Weird Tales

...Oh. You mentioned that we were replacing the Z-Fighters, but I wasn't sure if that applied to OG Dragonball. I probably should have confirmed that ahead of time. In any event, who destroyed the RRA if that's the case? Who killed King Piccolo? Did someone else accomplish all of Goku's feats?

@Genon

The other Z fighters exist so they dealt with king Piccolo

[Weird Tales]

@Genon also what is the infinite energy reactor? I need a more in depth description of the ability

[CaptainSully]

@Weird Tales I assume he’s referring to what 17 and 18 have. Rather than having to absorb the energy of others, they had an infinite power source within themselves. It effectively means infinite stamina.

@CaptainSully

Thanks

[CaptainSully]

I’m likely to be in work for another 11 hours but I’m going to be bringing Sam, Kojiro and Colda into line with the Raditz scene once I’ve finished.

[geminironin]

@TheForgottenArc I feel like I'm skirting the rule on auto-hitting with that last one, but I recall a lot of beatings in DBZ that don't have a lot of effect. So basically I figure it's fairest for you to decide whether Josh is actually damaged here or if he shrugs it off.

[Weird Tales]

I made auto hitting legal because it keeps the flow of high speed DBZ style fighting going better

[Renny]

@Weird Tales Assuming Double doesn't post today, I'll be sure get my post out tomorrow at the latest.

[Double]

@Renny Right now I'm still stumped about what to do with Momo. He's honestly become kind of a chore to write for. I almost wish I could scrap him and go back to the drawing board but I know I can't.

[CaptainSully]

@Double Im sure we’d rather you stick around than leave because you find it hard writing the character. Have him disappear off somewhere and then create a new character, I’m sure Weird wouldn’t mind.
