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

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

@FalloutJack oops. Lol. I'll fix that

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

@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.

@Darkmoon Angel

No worries. We all understand.

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.

Eclipse vs. Ryan

@FalloutJack

Dice Results

Ryan's Attack = 18 (roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17596)
Eclipse's Attack = 16 (roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17597)
Notes:
* Eclipse takes 4 recoil damage and 18 damage from Ryan's attack. He is left with 23 Health.
* Ryan takes 3 recoil damage and 16 damage from Eclipse's attack. He has 0 Health left.
* Eclipse's health is adjusted by 9 points due to Ryan being defeated by a surplus of 9. Eclipse ends this exchange with 32 health left.

Ryan's wild attack was a desperate attempt, as agreed on by everyone watching. His raw power and speed nearly faded, all that remained was his sloppy technique. Luckily for him, Ryan was looking worse for wear as well and not moving so smoothly. But at this point it no longer mattered.

With both combatants drained of power, Niko's proper technique made short work of Ryan. Ryan only managed to land one or two glancing blows off of Niko's back as he rolled under him and took his legs out. Crashing face first into the ground, Ryan fell unconscious... eyes still open with intensity.

"The winner is Eclipse!" Announced the judge who stood off to the side of the two fighters, as the room lit with applause and medics ran out with a stretcher to take Ryan away for treatment.

Later that day...

@FalloutJack@Darkmoon Angel

The preliminaries had finally came to an end. All that remained were the top sixteen combatants. By this point, only a few powerful contestants looked unfazed, but perhaps that only meant they had favorable draws. But now, with only sixteen remaining, everyone would have to give it their all.

The sixteen survivors, stood upon an elevated platform, with the announcer. While the crowd of other contestants who had lost, stood below, some still nursing their wounds. "Those that did not make it through the preliminaries, we congradulate you on making it here today." Said the announcer, using a stage voice and no microphone. "You should be very proud to have even been invited to this great tournament. For your efforts, you will be provided with free accommodations in the best hotel on this island and of course free entry to watch tomorrow's tournament."

"And for our victors, you will be staying here, in this main facility, on the second floor. Please, get yourselves a good night's rest. Tomorrow, everyone in the world, and beyond for that matter, will be watching you. You'll want to be on the very top of your game!"

The room lit up with respectful applause at the end of the announcer's speech.

@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.

Dragon Ball: Universe Zero

@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.

Eclipse vs. Ryan

@FalloutJack

Dice Results

Ryan's Attack = 47 (roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17572)
Eclipse's Attack = 35 (roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17573)
Notes:
* Eclipse takes 8 recoil damage and 47 damage from Anthony's attack. He has 45 Health left.
* Ryan takes 5 recoil damage and 35 damage from Eclipse's attack. He has 10 Health left.

With little regard for his own safety, Ryan jumped forward to meet Eclipse's double footed strike head on. With one hand he managed to knock one of Eclipse's legs to the side. Eclipse's other leg hit squarely in Ryan's torso. Ribs could be heard audibly cracking. Even so, Ryan barely flinched. Instead, he took advantage of being in close range and struck Eclipse in the kidneys.

"Is that all you got?" Ryan muttered. On the outside, he looked healthy. In reality however, the edges of his vision was going dark, and he was struggling to move. Even so, he charged forward, intent on giving all he had left to win.

Ryan attacks again with reckless abandon at 30 power.

Angel vs. Linda

@Darkmoon Angel

Dice Results

Linda's Attack = 35 (roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17574)
Angel's Attack = 42 (roleplayerguild.com/rolls/17575)
Notes:
* Angel takes 5 recoil damage and 35 damage from Linda's attack. She has 60 Health left.
* Linda takes 5 recoil damage and 42 damage from Angel's attack. She has 3 Health left.

Angel successfully managed to deflect Linda's frontal assault and land her spin kick counter. But instead of letting the force of the kick send her flying, Linda grabbed onto Angel's leg that had just hit her. With a practiced strike, she stuck the leg at the kneecap, intending to leave her opponent crippled for the rest of the match.

But the force of the kick could not be contained for long, and Linda fell to the floor. Bones cracked, and perhaps even more, it was all Linda could do to rise up to one knee. She knew this battle couldn't last any longer. Trying to move in this state, would only put her in unnecessary danger. Not to mention, she would have do deal with whatever Angel through at her.

Raising one shaky hand into the air, Linda admitted defeat. "I forfeit."

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.

Later That Day...

The evening sun had set an hour ago. A starry, moonlit sky peaked in through small open windows. The once large crowd had finally thinned down to a modest 32 people, making the large room feel that much larger. Only one round of fights remained, and only the best of the best remained. After a quickly being attended to by the impressive medics, it was time for the final round of the day...

Angel vs. Linda

@Darkmoon Angel

Only about twenty percent of the contestants at the beginning of the day were female. True to that statistic, only five of the remaining thirty two contestants were female. Despite the odds, Angel found herself standing across from one of the other four women that made to this point. Her opponent was Linda, a relatively unknown fighter that had managed to win most of her battles as easily as Angela her self. Rumor had it, this woman was a trained killer, a ninja or assassin of some kind.

"You are strong." The young woman admitted as she took her fighting stance.

At the sound of the bell, Linda charged forward, one hand outstretched in a relaxed fist, while the other remained hidden behind her back. Weapons were against the rules, so why she would conceal her hand was unknown.

Linda's Stats
Health: 50
Base Power: 50
Attack Power: 50

Eclipse vs. Ryan

@FalloutJack

Up to this point Niko's battles had been one-sided, to say the least. He was starting to pull the attention of everyone else in the room. In fact, when they announced this final round, more than one person sighed when they revealed who his opponent would be, happy that it wasn't themself. But if Niko's opponent was scared, he wasn't showing it. Ryan was his name, and he was a brawler. His fights were never clean, and he barely won his last fight, coming out as bloody as his opponent (if not worse). But at no point did his facial expression change. He was fast, strong, and raw with his moves.

"Let's do this." He muttered as he stood with his hands at his side.

When their bell rang, he began walking forward. It was clear he had no plan; he never did. It was his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. He was unpredictable chaos in human form but also sloppy and prone to error.

Ryan's Stats
Health: 50
Base Power: 50
Attack Power: 50
