[OOC] Dragon Ball: The Titans Saga

[Weird Tales]

I've given Reo some equipment as well: a simple but well made katana

@Duthguy

it's no match for Porci's lust saber

[CaptainSully]

Just an update for everyone, the chance to get in a CS is running out. The closing date/time is 23:59:59 GMT Friday. Any posted after that point will not be considered for the 5 spaces that are available.

The names below are people who I have CS' for. If i've missed you out please let me know:

@Holy Soldier@Duthguy@King Cosmos@Weird Tales@IAmKnight

[Weird Tales]

I hope Porci makes it

[CaptainSully]

Just over 10 hours until the deadline for applications.0

[Weird Tales]

Is this dead?

[Mogget]

This looks cool, can I join this?

Edit:

Oh, crap, didn't see the deadline.

[King Cosmos]

@Weird Tales I think Sully was waiting for the submission deadline before approving any characters. The deadline has now passed so hopefully we hear something today.

[CaptainSully]

I am on what we in the U.K. call a “works do”. I’ll post up tomorrow.

[Holy Soldier]

I'm considering changing my submission at this point lol. I'm drawing an old OC I used to RP in a DBZ game long ago. I feel like playing him and he will actually contribute to what the GM wanted, at least 4 players in the ring.

[Holy Soldier]

This is my alternative CS to Celeste. This is my favorite OC character if you couldn't tell by how much story he already has to him and also how I drew him. XD

The warrior without his gear stands tall and rather thick with his jutting muscles. His complexion is tanned and hair black with sickle-like sideburns. His personality tends to match his appearance: brutish, but he is kinder than his façade puts on. Intimidating, the warrior looks like quite the foe, which often inspires people who don't know him to leave him alone. There is, however, a charm that exists about the warrior. The impression he gives off of a big, dominating male tends to attract many a female, in which Lena is forced to keep back with a fist.

In his gear, no one familiar with Saiyans would have never guessed him to be one. His tail is always comfortably wrapped about his hips and his short, bladed hair hidden beneath his headdress. It is the exchange of blows or the discovery of his tail that reveals his Saiyan blood.

Equipment/Clothing: Upon his head is a headdress crafted from the fur and bones of the White Devil. It is what gives him his stark mane that acts as his "White Lion" trademark. Upon his broad shoulders sits a mantle of brown fur and steel. A brown cape obscures the bulk of his power, trapping his body heat within a cloak of warmth. Beneath the shroud is a fur-lined, black vest and black trousers. Upon his knees are steel kneeguards and about his forearms are black steel and leather bracers. The teeth of the White Devil were fashioned into a necklace that rests against his collar. The boots at his feet complete his arctic ensemble, estimating the weight of his equipment to be 145 lbs.

White Devil Crown: Designed by Grisha from the dense bones of the monster yeti known by the villagers of Kosetsu as The White Devil, the headdress alone weighs 45 lbs. It is more than just a crown. It is his identity and memento of his birth into his frozen home.

_{______P E R S O N A L I T Y_______}

Since waking from his coma, Grisha is rather free-spirited and unbound. The warrior goes where ever he pleases, when he pleases, and sometimes he won't return for days, which makes Lena worried sick. The Saiyan has learned to speak coherent sentences from Lena, but with him being so aloof, his speaking ability is still mediocre, neither entirely primitive nor advanced.

The warrior's desire to train overcame his desire to learn the etiquette Lena tries to educate him with. Grisha is simply downright barbaric from his bad manners, to his ability to smell on the level of a bloodhound, and to his appetite. The guardian often returns from being away when summoned by the Lion Horn. It is a horn carved from bone, which is blown in emergencies. It is wise for a visitor in Kosetsu village to not start trouble. If the horn is ever blown on him or her, they will face the fury of the lion. An enemy of Kosetsu village is an enemy of Grisha's "'nough said."

The Saiyan can't resist a challenge. He loves being able to throw some punches with a sparring partner or most of all, one that can give him a good fight. One of his biggest stereotypes is that the warrior is unintelligent because of the way he speaks. On the contrary, if challenged, his opponent will find that he is quite clever if not reckless.

Due to his mental deficiency, Grisha sometimes has irrational bouts of emotion in the form of rage or frustration triggered by something indefinite. No one knows what triggers these attacks, but its been assumed from witnessing certain situations that its when his brain is trying to remember or recall something to mind that just isn't there or accessible.

Overall, the warrior is a handful, and when around people, he needs constant supervision. The warrior isn't afraid to say it like it is, and is unaccustomed to the advanced technology that exists outside his home region.

_{______H I S T O R Y_______}

A General

The Saiyan's existence goes back to the time of the Saiyan-Tuffle war. Grisha, at the time known as Oniyon, was apart of King Vegeta's Saiyan Elite and took part in the destruction of the Tuffle race. He served King Vegeta like a dog until Frieza's treachery started wiping out one Saiyan after another. When King Vegeta chose to storm Frieza's ship, petrified by the power he sensed fluctuating from the vessel, Oniyon stayed behind and abandoned his king and homeland. Shame rested heavily on his shoulders during his shuttle ride across the cosmos. His conscience berated him with logic and how the Saiyans should have retreated until they were strong enough to rival Frieza and his lackeys. His honor was crushed and whilst in his depression, his pod approached a planet unlike he had ever seen before. His pod broke the atmosphere to plunge haphazardly into a snowy scape. It crashed into the base of a mountain and at the foot of a frozen lake. The chilling waters and temperature penetrated the capsule, and in his terror, the ice had taken him.

Coma

The mysterious meteor that had crashed in the mountains attracted the people of the nearby village Kosetsu. Subordinates of the village chief were sent to investigate the impact site and when they returned, they brought with them on a sled a mysterious orb. With ice picks and mallets, they broke the ice about the pod and forced open its hatch to find frozen within a man donning a uniform unfamiliar to them--and they hadn't seen much living in the mountains their entire lives. The people were unsure if their find was man or alien, but it was dubbed that the creature, whatever he was, was dead. The village chief ordered the body to be thawed in the hot spring and given a proper burial. As commanded, the body was thawed, and the still waters became disturbed by oxygen bubbles. To the people's awe, the alien had survived but was in a deep coma.

The White Lion

There was a wicked creature that occasionally attacked the village. Twelve feet with horns like a devil, the yeti would terrorize Kosetsu village, devouring their herds, children, and those vulnerable enough to be caught. The White Devil came unpredictably once a month and would consume twenty villagers before its appetite was satiated. As the people scattered in fright from the devil's presence, the alien was unguarded and became vulnerable. The alien's caretaker Lena tried to deter the devil from reaching him, but held tightly by her father, she was unable to do so.

The White Devil found him and hefted him above his jaws. Dangling the naked Saiyan above rows of blade-like teeth, the Saiyan harshly woke and unleashed an enraged scream. The decibels of his scream shook the yeti down to his cells until he exploded, having been ripped apart by the assault. Bathed in blood and screaming irrationally, the villagers thought they were observing a lion, bellowing his dominance over a kill as his tail thrashed about.

I Am Grisha

The alien responded to questions although slowly. His gaze was distant, and the villagers believed that his brain may have been damaged by the cold. When asked his name, the Saiyan responded ineptly with, "Gr...sh..." Lena thus named him Grisha and with her weaning, he became a respected and cherished guardian of the village.

Current Story

Grisha, Lena, and Tobias have left the frozen north on a journey to the World Martial Arts Tournament. They are hoping that Grisha will win the tournament and some zeni to aid Kousetsu Village's survival for the winters to come.

_{______C O M B A T_______}

_Abilities

Cold Resistance: Grisha has trained himself to mentally and physically endure the coldest temperatures of his snowy homeland. The villagers often marvel the warrior when they see him walking in nothing but shorts in the snow and ice, while they burrow beneath layers of wool and fur.

Saiyan Resilience: Grisha has trained his body in the highest altitudes where oxygen is thinnest and the cold, ones would claim, to be of the ninth circle. One of Grisha's goals is to reach the top of Mount Tengoku whose summit supposedly touches the heavens. Every day Grisha braves the hike, but even with his current training, he is still unable to endure the chill without his clothes becoming weighted down with ice and risking a frostbitten digit or limb. The warrior scales as high as he can endure and trains at that level.

Transformation

N/A

_{Basic Techniques}

• Shatter (Offensive): Grisha stomps the ground upon his opponent’s charging approach, causing the ground to shatter and upheaval, throwing his opponent’s balance and opening up their defense for attack.
• Faint (Defensive): The bigger you are, the slower you are right? Wrong! With Grisha’s muscles inflated with ki, he can move in short, instant bursts, leaving an afterimage of himself to fool the enemy.
• Steel Thyself (Defensive): Grisha will execute a stance and concentrate on hardening his body with ki, raising his defense against physical and ki attacks.
• Muscle Counter (Offensive): Grisha will contract his muscles the moment an opponent’s fist or feet makes contact. The sudden bulge of his contracted muscle sends a shock through his opponent’s limbs. An average human would risk breaking their bones.

_{Trademark Technique}

War Cry (Offensive): Grisha’s enraged scream. The decibels are so strong that the villagers of Kousetsu say that was how Grisha killed the White Devil. His scream vibrated the White Devil’s body until the yeti exploded. Best scenario, a sturdier opponent will find themselves temporarily deaf and disoriented.

_{Ultimate Technique}

Special Delivery (Offensive):Due to Grisha’s brain damage, normally he is unable to project ki. However, plot dependent, there are times where Grisha will have episodes where he will recall an attack General Oniyon used to know. Special Delivery is that attack. A red square of violent ki will swell between his hands. Grisha will then project the red ki in a rectangular, prismatic beam. The beam is as solid as a pillar and can pierce through an enemy like a lance. Once the pillar of ki touches down on the earth. Like a stick of dynamite, it explodes bathing the vicinity in red as a dome rises and dissipates.

_{______O T H E R_______}

Lena (NPC): She is Grisha’s adoptive family. She tends to take care of Grisha like a mother does her child, except she’s the younger one. Despite being a teenager, she knows how to put her foot down when Grisha gets out of hand. Her father Tobias claims that she gets that quality from her mother. Lena secretly likes Grisha, and she will become jealous of any other guy or girl who tries to flirt with him.

Tobias (NPC): He is Lena’s father and Grisha’s well…they don’t exactly see eye-to-eye. Tobias sees Grisha as a wild animal Lena brought into the house and won’t release back into the wilderness. They always butt heads, and even so, they still somewhat respect each other. Grisha will still protect Tobias if only because he’s Lena’s father.

[CaptainSully]

Hey there everyone. I apologise for my absence the last few days, plenty of drinking has been had

I’m in work at the moment and then have a few things to finalise for Christmas but after that I’ll get a post up regarding who has been accepted.

[CaptainSully]

Right so I have now had the time to review each CS and unfortunately I have received over 5 applications so some people will be missing out on a spot. Before I get to the names of those who were successful, I just want to make a point of saying thanks to everyone who applied. All CS' were well written however some I just felt were closer to the general theme and feel I wanted for the RP.

So without further ado, the successful applicants are:

•@Holy Soldier: I really am a fan of both CS' but I think your second works best, so feel free to use Grisha.
•@Duthguy: His unique approach to combat (i.e. sword) is what saw him through. Hopefully as he develops he'll become less reliant on his sword...just saying he'll need to be *evil grin*
•@King Cosmos: I like Ryuhei alot although i've always has a soft spot for characters with a troubled childhood.
•@rocketrobie2: Really liked the idea of the luchadore.
•@IAmKnight: Zander stands out as someone who is a bit more raw when compared to the other CS' so I look forward to seeing how he deals with that.

I'll wait for Christmas to get out of the way before we make a start, so i'll look to get us under way by Sunday.

For those who didn't get accepted whether through PM or posting in this thread, i'm sorry but honestly thank you for the interest.

[Duthguy]

@CaptainSully I am definitely planning having Reo become less reliant on his sword, but it will remain a staple of his style

[Holy Soldier]

@CaptainSullyYeah. I hope you like Grisha. He's really fun to play lol. He is definitely going to be a "special" one.

[CaptainSully]

Are those who have been accepted still wanting to take part? I only ask because nobody has moved their CS

If not then it's cool, I understand.

[Duthguy]

@CaptainSullySorry forgot that my cs wasn't in the characters page already, it's now though

[King Cosmos]

@CaptainSully I completely forgot to add it to be honest.

[rocketrobie2]

Make that three, sorry. I’ll get it moved over later today. I’m not at my computer right now.

[IAmKnight]

@CaptainSully You and I probably have a couple more things to discuss in pms before I do so, it's new years eve for me right now though so I'll probably be off for tonight

[Duthguy]

@CaptainSully If weapons aren't allowed during the tournament doesn't that mean that the other 4 characters would automatically be the semifinalists? Unless NPC's are able to reach that point.
