Dragon Ball: The Titans Saga

For years the World Fighting Tournament was the pinnacle in entertainment, the greatest fighters from over the world going one on one to prove who was the strongest. The problem the world faced were constant threats from enemies that seemed to always grow in power when compared the last. These enemies were defeated time and time again by the now long dead Z fighters. A couple of decades ago the tournament was brought back but this time it was bigger than ever. A purpose built stadium was created with a capacity approaching one hundred thousand seats. No event in history sells such a vast quantity of tickets in such a short amount of time after release. The demand to be at the event is so much that people will pay for a seat outside the stadium to watch the action unfold on large television screens.

This years tournament is approaching it's conclusion with four fighters remaining. The first of the two semi finals is only a few hours away so registration for the finalists is fast approaching. The format of the tournament means that none of the fighters know exactly who their opponent is until they walk out into the battle arena. The standard rules of combat apply from the original tournament with ring outs also still counting.

For those who are simply spectating, there are many things to do and see. There are food stalls of all kinds, merchandise stalls and even a temporary museum that holds some of the former champions and Z fighters clothing.

Things To Do

• Those wanting to be one of the final four fighters, simply include the registration in your opening post. It is simply filling in a form/waiver to say that you're ready to fight. Once that's done you could have an interview, press conference, warm up, some light training or even just go and explore the grounds.
• For those not in the tournament there is alot going on, think of it as a standard fair with rides etc. In addition there's live music, VR experiences and just generally a large amount of people. Feel free to do what you like however you will be unable to access the fighter back stage area.

So my CS is below. I'm flexible with pretty much everything if you want me to change anything.

ᴀʙɪʟɪᴛɪᴇs
◆ Teleportation | Leo is capable of teleportation. When he does so he leaves a thin mist that dissipates after a few seconds. He can teleport as quickly and frequently as he wishes over short distances (up to thirty metres) but for longer distances he must focus for a time. There is no limit to how far he can go, however for every mile he must focus uninterrupted for one full minute. He is able to teleport up to two other people he is touching with no additional effort needed.

◆ Dread Sense | When someone or something means to cause Leo harm, whether it be an enemy or a bullet, he is overcome with a massive sense dread. He is unable to pinpoint where the threat is coming from but simply knows that he is under threat, giving him the opportunity to at least try and avoid the incoming attack.

◆ Fast Hands | Leo's running speed is up there with the best human athletes, however he truly shines with the speed in his hands. He can throw a punch faster than a normal human is capable of and this in turn generates power surpassing that of even the strongest heavyweight boxer.

◆ Circus Performer | Growing up in the circus helped develop his acrobatic skills. Leo has exceptional balance and body control. In addition to acrobatics, he is trained in juggling, knife throwing and the many other skillsets that would be expected of a circus performer.



ᴡᴇᴀᴋɴᴇssᴇs
◆ Human Durability | For all of his abilities when it boils down to it, he is no more durable than a standard human.

◆ Human Strength | He is capable of punching extremely hard, however that is only a trick of his quick hands. He is no stronger than the strongest humans of his own size. So while he may be able to punch harder than most, he wouldn't be able to achieve any feats of true strength a normal human couldn't. So he wouldn't be able to lift and throw a car for example.



ᴇǫᴜɪᴘᴍᴇɴᴛ
◆ Composite Armour Flex-Suit | With the help of his benefactors, he has been provided with a light and flexible protective suit. It is made from a unique composite material which is impervious to stabbing, needles and cuts. However it provides no protection against bullets or blunt trauma. It also provides a resistance against flames but persistant exposure will eventually burn through the suit. It is very similar in appearance to his old circus attire.

◆ Mask of the Harlequin | Leo's mask fits to his face perfectly, meaning that the face of the mask moves with his own. It is made of the same composite material as the rest of his suit and provides the same benefits, however there are additonal functions that the mask provides. Leo has access to multiple vision modes including, standard, night and thermal. In addition, the mask features inhibitors which protect Leo from attacks that directly target his mind.



ʙɪᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ
Leo was born into the life of a circus performer to a pair of trapeze artists. His upbringing beyond the circus aspect was normal, two loving parents and fortunately for him, entirely devoid of tragedy. He spent his early years training in the footsteps of his parents and showed great talent early in his life. By his tenth birthday he had surpassed not just his parents, but the rest of the circus acts. He could soar through the air on the trapeze, sprint across the tight rope and split an apple with a throwing knife from twenty metres away. He had a clear talent and total control over his body but it wasn't until his twelfth birthday that things took an interesting turn.

While celebrating his birthday the circus was hit by a fire which trapped his parents and several of the other acts within the tent. Leo ran to the tent to try and save his parents but couldn't get through the main entrance. He shouted loudly for them and could hear their cries for him to stay away. His body soon crackled with power and in a puff of smoke he disappeared. To his shock he found himself in the tent next to his parents and the other artists. They all looked at each other in total confusion for a moment before Leo hugged his mother and father tight. He thought of getting his parents to safety and in that moment the heat of the flames gave way to the cooling breeze of outside. As the three separated they were a fair distance from the tent. His parents asked him what was going on but he was as clueless as they were.

The screams of the tent were beginning to be drowned out by the ever growing roar of the flames and Leo knew he had to try and repeat his recent feat. In the next two minutes Leo single handedly saved all those who were trapped in the tent by utilising this new ability of his. As the tent finished burning to leave a pile of ash Leo was stricken with panic. What was it that he was doing? What would everyone think of him? Fortunately for him the love between the circus family transcended all. They all embraced him as thanks and from that day continued to treat him as they always had.

In the years that followed Leo made no attempt to incorporate his new found ability into his act but that didn't stop him practising. He started small, covering short distances as quickly as he could. He then began to expand his reach beyond the local area. At first he would move a mile, then two, then three. Before he knew it he could teleport to the circus' next destination well in advance of everyone else. This is what eventually led to Leo leaving the circus to pursue a life as a vigilante.

When he was eighteen he teleported to the circus' next destination so that he could get interest going well in advance. He spent a day putting up posters and speaking to the public. As day turned to night he decided to check into a motel to wait for the arrival of the others. While watching the evening news there was a breaking report of a hostage situation at a nearby store. Two gunmen had taken the store owner and his wife hostage after their attempted robbery was disturbed by police arriving to buy coffee. The police surrounded the building but were hesitant given the men being armed, Leo decided he needed to put his talents to use.

Opening his suitcase he took out his performers costume to ensure his identity was concealed and then in the blink of an eye he was gone. He re-appeared in the back of the store, sneaking out into the main area where the hostages were being kept. The two gunmen kept their guns firmly aimed at the couple while one of them spoke to the police on a phone. Leo wasted no time and disappeared once more. When he reappeared the first gunman received a solid shot to the mouth sending him sliding backwards along the floor. As the second gunman turned to look at what happened, Leo appeared behind him. Bringing his fist up into the man's jaw, Leo sent him flying backwards into nearby shelving. Before the store owners could utter a word Leo had already disappeared.

Leo's exploits were the talk of the town for days and by time the circus arrived, it was still on the tip of everyones tongue. His parents found out about what happened and challenged their son about the danger of what he did. The young man resisted their pleas to not make the same mistake, finding within himself a calling to protect the innocent. For hours they spoke back and forth before finally his parents caved. They provided Leo with a large part of their savings so that he could start a new life for himself and with that he was gone.

Arriving in Maximum City Leo started off working in a few small bars when he wasn't being a vigilante. Eventually Leo saved enough money to open his own bar in the Neo Quarter. Called Club Aether, it favoured heavier styles of music and had a unique aesthetic that saw it become fairly successful. The club is self sufficient meaning Leo doesn't need to work but he can often be seen there when his vigilante talents are not needed.

After a couple of years in Maximum City, Leo's alter ego of The Harlquin had built up a bit of a reputation and not just with the public. A package arrived one day at his club without a name or address, simply saying Harlequin across the top. Fortunatley Leo was the only one a the club as nobody knew that he was in fact the vigilante. Upon opening the box he found a letter with the header for something known as The Aramis Foundation. They provided little information about themselves but explained that they had been following his 'career' for a while and that they wanted to help him. Emptying the rest of the boxes contents Leo found a new suit with accompanying mask and a mobile phone with a single number in it.

Leo called the number and was greeted by a voice who would only introduce themself as one of the founders of the Aramis Foundation. The voice was hidden beyond a filter so he didn't even know if he was speaking to a man or woman, they simply said that they existed to help people like Leo protect the innocent from those that would do them harm. The voice instructed him to keep the phone on hand at all times as the Foundation would be in touch with whenever his skillset was required. Since this first phone call Leo has worked with the Foundation to stop terrorist plots, foil bank robberies and put villains behind bars. However he is still yet to meet anyone in person or even find a public record on the Foundation.

Dragon Ball: The Titans Saga

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.

Dragon Ball: The Titans Saga

Key Events So Far

• Nothing of note...yet...

Dragon Ball: The Titans Saga

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.
