[OOC] Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

[Balthazar007]

@GingerBoi123 I'm going to go ahead and move things along now. Everyone seems ready. You can still join this RP at a later date. Just let us know here in the OOC section before you're about to post. I understand life can get busy.

I'll work on a time skip post to get us all going. I should have it ready by the end of the day.

[Balthazar007]

Tried to start my own rp in the meantime. It's not going well lol.

@Darkmoon Angel

There's nothing wrong with starting another RP. Please don't forget about us little people though, if it gets popping. LOL

That said, you can drop a link to your RP here if you're just looking for more players.

If you're having trouble on the GM side of things and have any questions or anything, I've been primarily GMing for all my time RPing. I've had some successful RPs and some not so successful ones. So maybe I could help.

I won't be able to Co-GM or anything, as I have my hands full with this and other RPs, and I'm currently designing a Board Game / Trading Card Game for in-person play groups (not to my regular day job). But I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

@Darkmoon Angel Hmmm... Interestingsauce.

[Darkmoon Angel]

@Balthazar007 And don't worry, I'm still sticking around. :)

@FalloutJack@Double

I'll make another post for you two, hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

Any requests or suggestions, since your current adventure relies so heavily on your backstories?

[FalloutJack]

@Balthazar007 Well, the phone is being cracked by a Capsule Corp employee when they get to the home office. Apart from information on the phone leading to the implication that the Martian Mining Corporation put the hit on Niko, and further info that there is something not directly spoken of going on with Mars, the fact is that anyone of the Brief family could get the word to the right people, "Hey, you know that runner-up from the military that we were looking for? Guess who just walked in our front door...".

@Balthazar007@FalloutJack
It also helps that the Brief family have direct ties to the Z-Fighters. Hell, Vegeta Jr could be training nearby and decide to look into us himself. Or Trunks, assuming he's the one running Capsule Corp right now.

[Darkmoon Angel]

Merry Christmas everyone :)

[Double]

Merry Christmas everyone :)

@Darkmoon Angel

*wags finger* ...Freeza Day!

[FalloutJack]

@Darkmoon Angel @Double Excuse me, but...

[Balthazar007]

Merry Christmas Everyone! Or happy Freeza Day! Or Happy Vegeta Day! Whatever planet or star system your from.

@FalloutJack@Double: I'm going to make my post for you two now. Should be ready in 30 to 45 minutes.

[Balthazar007]

@FalloutJack: I noticed in your last post, you said Niko didn't win any money. It was stated in one of my posts somewhere, but everyone that made it to the round of sixteen actually did get paid. I never said how much, because that wasn't the point at the time, but I've given it a little thought. I'd say that everyone that made it into the Round of 16 would have gotten the equivalent of about $10,000 USD in today's money. Obviously, this being set in the future and given inflation and what currency your character chose to convert that money into, this number is likely to be higher, but the effect is the same.

Anyways, imagine everyone in the Round of 16 got $10,000. For every stage further that one got in the tournament, that number was multiplied by 10. With this in mind: Niko actually got $1,000,000. Bakuto got 10,000,000. And Angela got 100,000,000.

Not bad , eh? @BladeSS4@FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel

@FalloutJack: You could rework your last post, or we could all just mentally redact all your mentions about money. Sorry I didn't make that clear. Obviously I was more concerned with the fighting. lol

[Balthazar007]

Alright everyone, I'll be making my next post hopefully in the next day or two! And I hope everyone had a Happy New Year!

@Balthazar007 One second. I thought I saw a thing which counted the winnings and Niko didn't have any. If that's wrong, I'll just edit that.

EDIT: I couldn't find the line that mentioned the actual winnings right now, so I'm just going with what you said, and now there's an extra paragraph dedicated to Niko being surprised at how wrong he was.

@FalloutJack

Awesome. Yeah, if I'm just imagining things and I didn't mention prize money, let's just pretend I did. LOL I meant to at least. And I like how you fixed it by adding a single paragraph and changing nothing else. Well done.

[Balthazar007]

So, I've obviously not got a post up yet. It's been a busy weekend. At least this gives @Darkmoon Angel a little more time to post if Angela wants to comment on what's happening. But if I do end up posting first, that will be fine. I might need another couple days though.

[Balthazar007]

@FalloutJack@Double: So, there is information that I left out of my last post that you could use in your next post. The trip to Mars in this ship could take as little as two days, which gives the ship enough time to safely get up to speed and slow back down for a landing. BUT you could prolong the trip a little longer, at your leisure, if you want to get more out of the gravity training.

The big bad will be making a pit stop on Mars on their way to Earth in about three weeks from our current point in the time line. So as long as your characters are on Mars before then, you should be fine. If I were you, I would spend up to two weeks training under gravity. That would still leave you with a week for the quest your on, before the big bads arrive. It might even be cool if you wrap up the "Niko's Revenge" quest, and just as you're about to celebrate or return to Earth, that's when the big bads show up to rain on your parade.

@Darkmoon Angel@BladeSS4: On my next post for you two, I'll time skip to the end of his story, which will end with a Dragon Ball GT mention, thus making that anime cannon to this RP (or at least a variation of it). Then, we'll be off to the islands where you'll actually be training.

[Double]

@Balthazar007 Wait, you want us to finish that entire plot right off the bat? I had some major character aec stuff and introspection for Han planned out that would come up while he's slowly taking down the Wuye-ying. If I just rush through all that immediately, he won't have any direction to go in going forward.

[Double]

@Balthazar007 Just to be clear, I'm not unwilling to go along with your suggestion. But I am concerned because the majority of Han's arc is tied to the Wuye-ying stuff and once they're gone... what then? I don't want Han to be relegated to just sitting around meditating and being treated as if training and getting stronger is his only trait or goal.
