[OOC] Dragon Ball Gaiden

[Double]

@NylaofShadows Um, then she would be dead. The Planet was destroyed five years before the start of the game. How did she survive? Plus Okura would have sought her out and tried to force her into fighting under him like he did with every other Saiyan survivor he could locate.

[Double]

@mattmanganon Alright, looks to be in order now. You're good to go.

[NylaofShadows]

Then if this isnt cannon why would planet vegeta be destroyed that being said if sayains cant be on earth bc of the planet being destroyed you expect them to not go to earth?? o.o ok cardboard box spaceship it is then

[Double]

@NylaofShadows Planet Vegeta was destroyed because the plot demands it. Just because Canon Events didn't happen is no excuse for not reading the plot synopsis, which clearly points out that Planet Vegeta. I don't know why you're being argumentive about this.

[NylaofShadows]

@Double Oh dear... I dont want you to think im trying to start something I just want to fully understand. Again with the living situation. I mean she could possibly just be floating in a capsul corp ship or something like that. My issue is one sayain just cant simply live in earth without others knowing. I mean im trying to work with the details given but there are so many holes its confusing. Not that your'e doing something wrong, theres just more that needs to be specified

Bururi

Name: Bururi (A pun of the word Burūberī which is the Japanese translation of Blueberry)

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race: Brench-seijin

Appearance:

Personality: Bururi is a curious alien always wanting to know the culture and rituals of different species, He is always looking for strong opponents to fight and wanting to use these fights as a way to grow stronger. Being also naive and somewhat gullible when it comes to other race's culture, He is also stubborn and prideful being prideful of himself and not so much of his race.

However he is not a terrible person strongly believing in justice and at times being vengeful to the point of being obsessive.

History: Bururi was born on Planet Quark III living with his mother and father, His father being a fame martial artist while his mother was a bartender for a bar called Urtak. He was taught at a young age certain martial arts and ki techniques, After school he would help his mother with certain task and he would do more dirtier jobs for his mother as he became a teenager.

@NylaofShadows Most of those holes you mentioned are filled in by Negi's character bio. It goes into more detail about the planet's destruction and how and why he's been able to hide on Earth. And even then, the hiding only lasted five years before he is found by the arriving Saiyans. And the timing if the destruction of the planet is important, it happened 5 years before the game starts, and Negi and Okuras war happened immediately afterwards. According to Chayots age, she would have been 18 at that time, so we'll old enough to be aware of it and even have a stake in its outcome.

[Double]

@Eviledd1984 That seems fine but could I get a bit more detail about his arrival on Earth? That's a bit of an important detail that I'd rather not leave out.

[NylaofShadows]

@Double ah noted i shall check your cs and adjust mine accordingly

Tabaga

Name: Tabaga
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Saiyan

Appearance:

Personality: Tabaga was originally considered rather bloodthirsty and sadistic, even by her people's standards. That changed after the destruction of Planet Vegeta and the loss of all her family and what few friends she had. Her personality slowly began to shift away from being bloodthirsty and sadistic and she slowly became more cautious and more careful before engaging foes in battle due to the fact that pretty much in a single day the Saiyan race went from numbering in the thousands to whatever Saiyans were off planet. She doesn't know exactly how many are left total, but she knows that something needs to change if their race is to survive.

History: Tabaga was born on Planet Vegeta as nearly all Saiyans were but she was born with a slightly above average power level. When she was of the age to begin fighting and training she quickly rose through the class ranks and was known for having a brutal streak even as a child. This continued for years until she was finally sent on her first off planet assignment with a squad of warriors. When they arrived on the planet they were supposed to conquer, Tabaga pretty much threw herself into the oncoming hordes of enemy combatants and began to tear through them, not caring if she was injured. When the job was done, Tabaga was barely able to stand but her battle lust had been sated.

As the years went by, she continued fighting and growing stronger and was on her way to return to Planet Vegeta after a successful mission when she received news that the planet had been destroyed. The nearest outpost was very far off and before going into suspended animation for the long trip to the outpost, she began to think about what the destruction of her home planet meant for both the Saiyan race and the rest of the Galaxy. After going into suspended animation, an encounter with an asteroid field forced the pod to automatically change course for the nearest inhabitable world. A rather small blue planet that she knew nothing about.

Techniques
Double Energy Blast ((Fires numerous blasts of energy from both of her hands))
Heart Stopper Strike((Slams into a target's chest at full speed and attempts to unleash a full power energy attack at point blank range))
Ki Blast Volley. ((Basic attack that fires a volley of Ki blasts at an opponent))
Final Blast ((Uses every last bit of Ki to create a massive blast of energy but totally drains the user of Ki and leaves the user severely weakened))

@Double

Of course what would be something i could put in further detail about him arriving on earth?

[Double]

@Eviledd1984 Well, namely, did he land somewhere remote and just sort of quietly integrated himself into the population or did he land in the middle of some city and cause a societal meltdown? Personally I prefer the former, but you get the idea. About the only thing that makes him different from humans is the blue skin. And honestly, when the Earth in this setting is known for having people like Chiaotzu, then a dude with blueish skin probably isn't going to be too difficult to explain away.

@Chev If I may ask, did her pod drift for 5 years before it finally made it to Earth? Just wanted to clarify that Planet Vegeta's destruction was five years ago and Negi would have arrived on Earth some weeks or months after that. It would be awfully hard for a second pod to also end up on Earth without Negi or someone else detecting it. Like I said, if the pod's been drifting with her in stasis for 5 years then I can accept that, otherwise... I'm not so sure.

@Double

Yeah. The pod has been drifting for about five years. I feel stupid for not putting that in the character history XD

[Double]

@Chev Okie dokie, she's all good then.

[Genon]

@Double

Hey, I've got couple of questions before I make my character.

One, how closely-related is this game to canon Dragon Ball?

If two Saiyans are due to come to Earth to test its fighters rather than to obtain the Dragon Balls as Vegeta and Nappa sought, and the Saiyans are conquering planets to make homes for themselves rather than simply genociding everyone on the planet so that Freeza can sell it, than it's reasonable to assume that this isn't exactly going to follow canon too closely.

So that begs the question of whether the same canon characters are going to show up. Freeza, Cell, Goku, Bulma, Vegeta, etc, especially if we're going to have original arcs instead of arcs that follow the canon sagas.

Two, I know you've stated that power levels won't exactly matter, but even if power levels are simple numbers, certain species are naturally stronger in canon Dragon Ball. I was thinking of making a human, and humans in canon Dragon Ball tend to almost exclusively lag behind their Saiyan counterparts (often to the point of simple irrelevance in the big climactic battles) simply due to Zenkais and Super Saiyan forms. If this isn't following canon, is the power gap going to be any narrower? I really don't want to wind up sitting out of big fights like Yamcha and Krillin do, or batted aside by the arc villain the second he shows up to show how badass he is and need the Saiyans to save the day. Will this be a problem for human characters?

[Double]

@Genon

Let me answer the questions one at a time:

1. It's not that closely related, no. The Dragon Balls exist, as do many of the planets from Canon but not much beyond that.

2. Canon Characters, for the most part, don't exist here. A few select villains will show up but the characters will largely be original.

3. The power gap will be much narrower. My intention is for the Races to feel distinct from each other without letting one overpower all the others. While it's true that Namekians and Saiyans may still commonly possess higher raw power levels, Humans are specifically intended to be far more versatile. They will be learning more techniques than any other race which means they will get to have a larger pool of skills to rely on in battle.

[Headhunter]

Here's my submission. Ponzu is my main, and Cogo is just an NPC. They're basically the demon versions of Kid Trunks and Goten. :)

Ponzu & Cogo

Name: Ponzu The Problem Child
Age: ???
Gender: Male
Race: Demon

Personality: The mischievous problem child of the Demon Realm, Ponzu loves to pull pranks on people, most especially the grandstanding serious types. He enjoys the grim satisfaction of chopping egos down with some good old public humiliation. He does not respect anybody he doesn’t like, which is usually predicated by his own list of odd and whimsical virtues.

History: Ponzu is the son of Great Demon Blacksmith, Sichuan, who forges weapons and armor for the most powerful warriors in the realm. The young demon outright refuses to inherit his father’s legacy. He finds smithing to be a boring waste of time. He’d much rather use weapons for himself, not make them for other people! Even still, Sichuan hoped his son would reconsider. He gave Ponzu the Hell Hammer, a special forge tool he crafted himself, as a way to entice him into the profession. Made from a rare element of another dimension, the Hell Hammer can harness and manipulate all types of energy into creating whatever weapon or armor the user can imagine. It didn’t take long for Ponzu to abuse its power. With his wild imagination, he created all sorts of weapons and armor, then used them to wreak havoc across the Demon Realm.

Gifting his son with such a powerful tool is one of Sichuan’s biggest regrets. He tried to stop his antics by taking back the hammer, but the enchanted tool was bound to Ponzu, and Ponzu wasn't going to give it back. Sichuan grew impatient. With his reputation on the line, he disowned his only child. No longer feeling welcomed in his own realm, Ponzu decided to run away for good. With the help of his best friend, Cogo, the two demon kids found a portal into the Living World. They entered without hesitation. Ponzu and Cogo immediately began terrorizing victims for sheer entertainment, pulling pranks on anyone, wherever they went. The problematic pair were eventually drawn toward an area that was teeming with dark energy.

The place turned out to be a secret hideout for a large thieve’s guild. Ponzu and Cogo haunted the compound for days. In the midst of their juvenile shenanigans, they discovered that the thieves were searching for powerful artifacts called dragon balls. Ponzu drooled at the idea of having any wish come true, but he had trouble figuring out which one he'd pick.

He enjoyed the Living World very much, but he realized he'd enjoy it a whole lot more as its conqueror, along with Cogo, serving as his right hand demon. Collecting all of the dragon balls to make that wish a reality seemed a whole lot easier than trying to take over the world themselves. They surmised that powerful items like the dragon balls had to be in possession of powerful people; If not, then they'd at least have an idea of their whereabouts.

After interrogating a thief about the Living World, Ponzu and Cogo headed toward the place where the strongest fighters in the world gathered for combat.

“To The Tenkaichi Budokai Tournament!!!” The demonic duo high-fived with excitement.

Unfortunately for them, the tournament was still a year away. So to kill time, they've randomly gone around in search of strong fighters, hoping to gain more knowledge on the dragon balls.

Techniques:

“Negative Vibes Only, Man!”
This is a passive technique that activates when dark energy manifests itself through people’s negative thoughts and emotions. It serves as a fountain of energy that Ponzu draws from to channel his attacks.

”Portal Punk Rock!”
This technique allows Ponzu to create small dimensional portals within a limited radius.

”Batter Up, Loser!”
Ponzu can redirect projectile energy blasts with the Hell Hammer like a bat swinging at a baseball. The more powerful the energy blast, the more difficult it is to nail the swing, but a successful hit could have it flying right back at its pitcher!

“Look What I Can Make!”
The moment the Hell Hammer makes impact against an energy source, Ponzu can manipulate it into any melee weapon or armor piece he can think of. These creations usually last within minutes, sometimes seconds, depending on the strength of the energy source.

Misc (NPC):

Cogo is a low tier demon that doesn't have any known powers. He isn't much of a fighter, and isn't even that great at being evil. However, what he lacks in demonic warrior aptitude, he more than makes up for with advanced cognition. Cogo has an amazing photographic memory. It allows him to perform most non-powered, complex tasks, immediately after witnessing someone do them. He can also recall pertinent details about everything he's ever read, seen, or heard without delay.

Growing up in the Demon Realm was tough for Cogo. He was picked on a lot because of his shortcomings as a fighter, and was teased and harassed almost everywhere he went. Cogo was getting bullied by a group of teen demons one day, when, out of nowhere, Ponzu leaped in and stared beating the bullies up with his Hell Hammer. The two hit it off immediately. They teamed up and went on a relentless revenge spree, pranking and beating up on all of the demons that gave Cogo grief for being himself. The bonding experience made the two inseparable, and remain best friends to this day.

Updated my character sheet,Let me know if it I need to change anything?

[Weird Tales]

finished my CS

Hunter

Name: Hunter Zero
Age: 25
Gender: male
Race: human

Appearance: Hunter stands at about 6 ft and weighs 180 lbs. He has bright red short length hair and emerald green eyes. He is dressed in a plaid hunting jacket and wears a hunting hat. He has the body of a man well trained to be strong and able to stand up harsh environments that nature can throw at him.

Personality: Hunter is a strong willed man who is very tenacious and will never give up easy on anything he sets his mind to. He is trained to remain calm in intense situations and keep himself from panicking so he can focus. Hunter isn't a very social person thanks to living outside of civilization and because of this he has a hard time trusting others and is on the defensive side.

Thanks to hard training from his father and living in the wilderness, Hunter has a strong urge to take enemies head on and fight with great power. Despite trying to keep a calm demeanor Hunter can still lose his temper if pushed too far and will become more reckless. Even though his tenacity has helped overcome many obstacles, it also causes him to be very stubborn and unwavering in difficult situations.

Despite his flaws, Hunter will still try to do the right thing and tries to have a sense of honor although he isn't afraid to do dishonorable things if it means a victory in a dire situation.

History: Hunter was born in the woods of the northern parts of the world to a long line of hunters who trained in the art of Ki manipulation to improve their hunting and survival abilities as well as combat enemies and threats to their homes and themselves. From an early age Hunter showed promise in the arts of hunting and combat and became a child prodigy.

His father taught him everything he knew about hunting and fighting. Hunter learned a fighting style similar to boxing with a mix of powerful kicks and knee strikes. Thanks to being trained in hunting, Hunter also learned the skills of tracking and stealth in order to ambush his targets. When he turned thirteen him and his father went on journey across the world that part of their families tradition. They would hunt and live off the land and Hunter would experience the vast world beyond the woods.

Their journey took them far across the world and Hunter never thought that of just how big the world was. The times when they saw civilization from a distance his curiosity compelled to want to go and see what life was like for other people, but his father would say no. While on their journey Hunter was taught how to manipulate Ki allowing him to shoot it out of a shotgun in place of a normal bullet as well as channel it through hunting knifes making the blade more sharp and lethal.

When their journey came to an end and they returned home, Hunter's mind was still thinking back to the civilizations he had seen from a distance with their powerful and complex machines. He decided that it was best to try push that stuff out of his mind and focus on his normal life. His normal life however came to a drastic end.

While hunting at the edge of the woods, Hunter came across a group of men who had captives bound up and looked to have fallen victim of smugglers. His father had told him about these type of people and he felt the urge to help the captives and set them free. He acted quickly and used his Ki abilities to take them down with speed. He didn't kill them and let them runaway in fright and then released the captives.

This act of heroics would comeback to haunt him when the men who he had fought returned with powerful fighters of great strength. They destroyed most of the forest and proved to be stronger than him and his parents. His father and mother were killed in the attack and Hunter only managed to escape thanks to his father using the last of his strength to create a distraction.

With his parents dead and his home destroyed Hunter had nowhere to go and found himself wandering the wilderness all alone. He wasn't sure about his purpose in life after everything that he had lost, but then he remembered all that he had been taught by his father. The memories of loss came back to him when he again saw people being terrorized by groups of evil people and he did something about it.

After that Hunter realized that he could put his abilities to more than just hunting and surviving. He would use his power to become a bounty hunter and take down outlaws and warmongers. And so for years he did that and felt his power grow and he learned new techniques with his shotgun and hunting knives. He got his revenge on the ones who had destroyed his life. He would never allow himself to be helpless again.

Techniques

Mega Shot: Hunter charges up a large amount of Ki into his shotgun and fires it off in a large blast of yellow energy.

Sniper Beam: He fires a small beam of energy with incredible piercing ability which he uses to wound his enemy without the use of creating an explosion.

Light Barrage: Hunter unleashes smaller blasts of energy in rapid succession out of his gun in order to spray his enemies with small explosions.

Wild Fists: Hunter attacks his foes with a string of powerful jabs, haymakers and hooks with his fist. These blows are aimed at the head, chest and gut in order to hit weak spots on his opponent's body to try and incapacitate them.

Is there still room? I’m quite interested
