[OOC] Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

[Balthazar007]

No problem. Although, after looking at the roller, I got a question: Can you do the rolls in like a series of tens, like they do in Exalted? I feel like there's a chance to potentially Nat One when someone using - say, for instance - a power 100 attack, and it shouldn't do just one to a potentially weaker opponent. If possible to do it with a series of d10s, you'd roll at least a better minimum damage if you rolled horribly.

@FalloutJack

All attacks do a guaranteed 20% damage. So if you're attack was a 40 power, worst case scenario, if your roll is under 8, you're attack will still do 8 damage. I'm thinking of other methods as well, but a series of D10s isn't the way... Once we get into much higher power levels, it will become awkward.

@Darkmoon Angel

And I would like to see one more post from each of you before I post again. Maybe your characters can meet, or maybe not. Then we'll move on to the final round of the preliminaries.

@FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel

I was busy this weekend, but I have today off. I'll have my next post up by the end of the day.

@FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel

I apologize for the long break from this RP. I work in a restaraunt where the holiday season is our busiest time of year. I also started a new relationship with a wonderful woman who has kids that are on winter break. Tomorrow everyone goes back to school which will give me more free time to write.

I'm writing my next post at the moment.

Also, I've upped guarunteed damage to 40% of your chosen attack Power. So if you attack with all 100 of your current power, you will do AT LEAST 40 damage. Recoil damage is still at 10% so you would take 10 damage if you used all 100 of your power.

[FalloutJack]

Hey, no problems, man. And good to hear things are looking up!

@FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel

Here's another modification to battling. When you're attacking after having taken damage, 50% of that damage is taken away from how much Attacking Power you can produce.

For example, Ryan took 40 damage in the last exchange. Which means, he takes a loss of 20 to how much attack power he can use. That is why the best he can do is attack back with 30 attack power.

As for Eclipse/Niko, he took 55 damage last turn. Therefore, his total attacking power has been lowered by 27.5. This means his maximum attack power will now be 72.5. And since we only attack in multiples of 10, his strongest attack is actually 70. Of course, he only needs to deal 7 damage to defeat Ryan, since Ryan is about to take 3 damage from recoil.

I know this all may sound a little complicated, but I think it makes it more realistic, because if you have been damaged, you clearly shouldn't be able to attack at full strength. On the other hand, the more you battle, the more adrenaline kicks in and the more you learn your opponent's weaknesses. That's why your max attack power doesn't lower by 100% of the damage that you have taken.

[Balthazar007]

@FalloutJack I'll respond to your latest post in the morning. It will definitely be a win for Niko, but I'll still roll the dice to see how much damage each combatant takes.

[Balthazar007]

@FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel

If you two would make one or two posts reflecting on your preliminary battles, that would be perfect. You can even have your character's exchange dialogue. Just let me know when you're done and ready to move on to the next day.

P.S. Even though your the victors, your rooms aren't extravagant. They are traditional rooms, with only the basic necessities. This marital arts building is old and humble, and it has only seen the lightest of renovations, only what was necessary to maintain a clean and presentable appearance.

[Darkmoon Angel]

@Balthazar007 Yeah, sorry. I meant to post before but life got a hold of me for a while. I'll have a post out tomorrow. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

[Balthazar007]

@Darkmoon Angel

No worries. We all understand.

[FalloutJack]

@Balthazar007 I just noticed you said Niko fell unconscious when it was Ryan.

[Balthazar007]

@FalloutJack oops. Lol. I'll fix that

[Balthazar007]

Nice posts! Introductions can be awkward, but it's gotta be done sometime

[Balthazar007]

I'll post this Thursday and move the plot forward. If there is anything else you two want to post before then, go ahead.

Hope all is going well in your lives!

[FalloutJack]

I'm cool.

[Balthazar007]

I didn't forget about posting yesterday. I was interupted by a bit of an emergency, not of the health related kind, everyone is okay, but an emergency none-the-less. I will be able to make another post today before 3pm EST.

[Balthazar007]

@Darkmoon Angel@FalloutJack

So I finally have a set schedule at work. I can now make a set time to be online every week. That time is going to be 3pm to 7pm every Thursday.

I actually have an idea to make money off of role-play writing in the future, so this will be a test to see if I can comit to a specific schedule. If it goes well and I do end up making money as planned, then I will expand to other days and times.

For now, what I need to know is, are you two still interested in this RP? I know we've slowed to a stop, but does knowing that I will be online at a certain date and time help you? If you are both still interested in this RP, we will continue. If you aren't interested or I don't get a response before this Thursday, I'll create a new RP (not related to DBZ).

Thanks you two! Hope we can keep this ball rolling!

[Darkmoon Angel]

@Balthazar007 Yeah, I'm still interested. Sorry, I've kinda been focusing on other things. Health related issues, family drama, every kind of IRL crap you can think of. I'll see about getting a post out soon though.

[Balthazar007]

@Darkmoon Angelwhat do you think about the Thursday hours? If we can all be online at that time, that's when we could post out a battle real fast. Posts till then could just be lead up posts.

[Darkmoon Angel]

@Balthazar007 Sounds good

Biography:
Bakuto grew up in an impoverished village. Where living was just survival of the fittest. Bakuto grew up having to fight to survive. Fighting others just so he could get something to eat and/or drink. As Bakuto grew up there was a small fighting group in his village. The strongest people in these fights would have tournaments deciding which families got more food and who got less.

Bakuto fought in this small village local tournaments. He fought hard, to become the strongest villager in his village. Bakuto soon learned of a greater tournament, the World Martial Arts Tournament. A way he could earn a lot of money that he could take back to his village so he could afford food to aid the rest of his village that aren't strong enough to compete for their own food like he could.

So he set out to head to the World Martial Arts Tournament to hopefully win and save his village from being poor anymore.
