Dragon Ball RP Final 100% Legendary Super Sign-up-jin Transformation Thread

[POS Industries]

Once upon a time, a boy was sent as a baby from his homeworld just as it was destroyed by a horrible villain, his ship crashing in a remote location where he was adopted and eventually grew up learning the virtues of truth and justice and decided to use his powers to fight evil and protect the people of the world. He went on to lead a team of fellow super-powered heroes and triumphed time and again against all sorts of nefarious tyrants, scientific monstrosities, wacky magical beings, and even the very supervillain responsible for his world's destruction. Eventually, he fell in love with and married an attractive brunette with a take-no-prisoners attitude in the same line of work as he, all the while keeping his identity and the truth of his exploits secret from the world at large.

And thousands of miles away from Metropolis, there was also this guy named Goku! But he was pretty cool, too!

However, this story isn't really about either of those guys. This story is about you and your adventures in the world Goku saved/put in peril numerous times a couple centuries ago. It's a world where demons, space aliens, magical creatures, androids, and martial arts masters who can fly around and shoot lasers from various body parts are the norm. A world where eating beans will cure any and all ills. A world where even a dog can become president and pigs and cats can shapeshift. A world where grabbing a dragon's balls can grant you any wish you could dream of.

The year is Age 995. The secret of harnessing your ki has long since been revealed to the world through a book written by Gohan and taught by several martial arts schools started by various members of the heroic group known as the Z Fighters. Majin Buu, thanks to discovering pornography, has found a way to reproduce and a whole race of majins (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Majin) now cover the globe, mostly working as restauranteers and entertainers. The namekians (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Namekian) have resettled on Earth, their world once again destroyed by a time traveling villain who will arrive on Earth in 5 years, but we don't care about him now.

Contrary to popular belief, there are no black star dragonballs, Goku was never reverted to a child, a tuffle-created robot never threatened Earth, and Krillin lived a long, full life. Piccolo, too. I don't know where people would get the idea otherwise. That's just silly.

I had considered trying to come up with a hard stat system to base this whole thing around, but I decided it would be more toward my level of personal laziness to trust your collective judgment and step in to make rulings as necessary. It's worth noting that scouter technology has been outlawed on Earth due to their high chance of explosion causing numerous eye injuries (not canon but we're doing it anyway!), and so we will not be caring that much about power levels, no matter how far over 9000 they may be. Suffice to say that everyone is decently powerful in some respect, but not world-shatteringly so, and we're all probably equally as useful in that regard. Or less so, if you really want to be.

The only race that no one can choose to play is saiyan. They're all dead. All of them. Some saiyan DNA has gotten diluted into the human gene pool, but the odds are very slim that any of you are the descendants of Goku and Vegeta. Other than that, the only limits are your own creativity.

Character profiles be as follows:

Name: Hurr
Age: Durr
Gender: What's in your pants? If Namekian, "nothing" is an acceptable answer.
Race: What species your character belongs to.
Career: What it is you do, be it martial artist, mercenary, treasure hunter, entertainer, wandering hobo, whatever. You can have more than one, but preferably no more than two.
Appearance: Describe your ugly mug.
Special Abilities: Unique skills, techniques, and attacks you feel are worth noting.
Equipment: Whatever crap you think might be useful.
Biography: Your life story.

Let the sign-ups begin!

[POS Industries]

I'll start with mine!

Name: Sala
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Majin
Career: Pop vocalist, former child martial arts prodigy.
Appearance: 5'6", lean build, pale blue, black eyes with red irises, several head tentacles take the shape of a hairstyle that fashionably covers her left eye, coming down just below her chin. Style of dress is whatever her promoters think would be the most profitable trendsetter.
Special Abilities: Sala's training specializes largely in abilities instinctually passed down through the majin race from Buu's own original moveset, such as flight and a couple notable energy attacks such as the Vanishing Beam and even a version of the famed Kamehameha. However, she has neglected to master the more magically-based abilities, such as matter transmutation. Majin anatomy being what it is, she's also fairly resilient to damage and able to stretch and contort her body in a great number of ways.
Equipment: None.
Biography: Part of the hit pop vocal group, Team Three Star, Sala is best known by her press junkets as "the bubbly one." The middle child between brothers Sim and Bim, she grew up with a yearning to do more with her life, spending her youth training and educating herself, even competing in the junior division of the Tenkaichi Budokai tournament before being discovered by a record company executive who thought she looked like the perfect fit for a girl group he was putting together. However, her past is something her manager would prefer to keep secret, as they feel that a history of beating up dudes and having the ability to blow up large swaths of any given landscape loses a certain degree of marketable femininity.

But the money's good, and putting on the big smile for the camera while she does her song and dance routine is certainly an adventure in and of itself.

[CABAL49]

I am going to assume no super-powered 10 year olds.

Name:Mori Shuzu

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Career Entertainer

Appearance: Athletic build with light skin and BALD! One of his eyes is green while the other is brown.

Special Abilities Solar Flare(We all know this one), Yoo-ken (Bastard form of Kaio-Ken, only increases users speed. Still has a risk of failure)

Equipment: Loose black pants with a red velvet vest and blue boots.

Biography: Mori was always more interested in the flashier of Ki techniques, and his performances on the stage impressed the small crowds. But that was the problem. No matter how hard he tried, he could never draw in the big crowds.

Believing that the more dangerous the performance the more people will come, Mori has honed his reflexes and agility through dangerous stunts like the Ki Catch. When he was especially desperate for money, he invites the audience to just shoot Ki blasts at him and he dodges them. Most of the time people are too drunk to aim so he hasn't had any serious injuries yet.

His techniques he learned from a performance school that his parents paid for, seeking to support their son's struggling career. Mori does go into low-ranked martial arts tournaments as a cheap way to learn new stunts. While he has never won a tournament, he has never actually tried to. His style and grace are enjoyed by the small crowds, who enjoy watching people beat him up. But Mori is simply looking for the performance that will make him a celebrity.

[Overcast]

Name: The Incomparable Doctor Q~!
Age: 48, but still dead sexy.
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Career: Scientist EXTRAORDINAIRE!
Appearance: Q has shortly cut grey hair, with a bit of a spot missing in the back(he explains it as an area where it was violently yanked out and he had to place a skin graft, also why he wears it short), his eyes are large and brown and often staring through a pair of thick glasses that seem to enjoy glinting the sun in any direction for dramatic affect. He is fond of his lab coat in nearly any situation if only to draw more attention, even in everyday life, that he is a Doctor. He is slim and wiry, and carries a black suitcase anywhere he goes. He is reasonably tall at about 6ft even. Somewhat handsome, if a bit overshadowed by his exacerbating personality.
Special Abilities: SCIENCE! The Q-meister has relative degrees in just about any kind of science or medicine that you might need the knowledge of, and while not that great of a martial artist his love of his own weapons have gifted him a keen eye and a keen shot.
Equipment: Doctor Q keeps in his suitcase a wide variety of defenses. From flying remote control laser drones to various types of stable and unstable explosives, powerful chemical acids, strange guns, a force shield system, and most importantly an inconceivable power source.
Biography: Doc Q started his life early, his father had been an engineer who worked to design many useful vehicles, motors, and weaponry(the last being his most famous) he unfortunately never developed the armor against his weaponry and was killed by a rival who reverse engineered his design. Following in his father's footsteps his son made sure never to make that mistake, and studied many other sciences to make the means of working his inventions so absolutely irrational that anyone who tried to reverse engineer it would probably go mad. Like him!

But with the advent of that damned whippersnapper Gohan and his silly little chi-book most people started imagining that firepower was better achieved through personal martial development.

HORSESHIT IF IT IS! Doctor Q had spent too much of his life and sanity developing these weapons so he made it a point to take all he had with him and setting on the road to solve problems through overwhelming firepower. Hoping that through his do goodery he can bring to the public the advantage of being lazy and relying on technology once again. If not he is also developing a weapon to blow up the world, that's nice too.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Are Androids available as a race?

[POS Industries]

I don't see why not.

Overcast is approved, Cabal probably will be once the profile is complete.

[mauve]

What about shapeshifters, a la Puar and Oolong?

[Red Mage Black]

Name: Kenneth 'Kenny' Long
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Career: Founder of the K-Long School of Mixed Martial Arts (Actually Copycat Martial Artist)

Appearance: Tall, incredibly skinny, with gangly limbs, long blond(dyed) hair and beady hazel eyes. Wears a brown jumpsuit fashioned out to be a 'training gi' with a black belt around his waist and white headband.

Special Abilities: Ken Special - Being able to copy a fighting move or ability at least once, with failure the usual result even if he manages to pull off the move or activation of an ability correctly. Results range from humorous to devastating. (Which often has mixed results when trying to copy a move, citing credit when it doesn't go as planned, but manages to work anyway.)

Kamehame-whatwasitagain?- His horrible horrible memory serves as a detriment to his own martial arts skills. This is the only thing he actually remembers, but he doesn't remember the whole mantra for it. Usually results in just a tiny little bit of energy being thrown at the opponent. Which can be laughably weak or incredibly potent depending on how much ki he dedicates to it.

Equipment: Jumpsuit Karate Gi, Blackbelt, White Headband, Running Shoes and Hand Wraps. His body is the only equipment he claims he needs, but he'll pretty much throw anything if he runs out of ideas or can't see a move or an ability he can try to copy.

Biography: While everyone was still enthralled with Goku and his story, Kenny grew up idolizing the 'unsung hero' of the 'saiyan saga' of Earth's history. A lone human against the odds of aliens and demons to invade this peaceful planet. He didn't get much credit, but wasn't it always the guy in the background that did the most, but passed off the credit because he was that humble? The Legendary Hero Mr. Satan! Tournament Champion and the man to pacify the powerful Majin Buu. He made it possible for the Majin race to even exist peacefully! In honor of this man's great deeds, Kenny decided he would do the same. This is when he decided to create his own brand of Martial Arts.

He didn't know where to start though. Wait, what is that guy doing? Looks pretty cool, why don't we try it? Here goes! ...? Whoops! Hey, I broke the wall anyway! This must be what it's like to create new Martial Arts! You know, people might not just be interested in breaking stuff. Tossing ki around seems to be popular nowadays. I know I said I'd never read it, but where did that Gohan book go? Maybe I could do something better with it.

Thus began his great school at the age of 18. Run out of his house, the student population is relative low. More along the lines of 3 or 4, but that's only because their mothers wanted them to get out of the house. The training is more of mockery of whatever he sees somewhere else and ofttimes, because of his bad memory, him and his students end up watching cartoons more then training.

[POS Industries]

RMB is accepted, however the man he idolizes is named Mr. Satan.

What about shapeshifters, a la Puar and Oolong?
More than welcome!

In fact, it would feel wrong to exclude them!

[Red Mage Black]

Ah, wasn't sure if you were using the Japanese or Americanized names. Will change.

[POS Industries]

Americanized, but uncensored. "Hercule" was only part of the Toonami dub and Budokai games (you know, for the kids!), and Funimation even referred to him as Mr. Satan in the DVDs.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Name: Mack McKinley
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Race: Android
Career: Special Operations Officer
Appearance: Mack stands an even 6 feet, short brown hair, and what you would call average every where else. His features are not marked, but they were not sculpted to be beautiful either. He has 3 outfits, one is a standard officer uniform, next is his special operations equipment, which involved modified swat armor to allow for better flexibility, but, well, be useful in stopping attacks and such, and his street clothes mostly consists of blue jeans and standard black t-shirt.
Special Abilities: Mack McKinley's new fancy android body has some technology recovered from the belated Dr. Gero. The biggest feature, the energy absorbing function, is built in Mack. Its quite useful for detaining aggressive criminals as you can take the fight out of em. Other abilities include flight, energy blasts, and sustained energy blasts. Being android in nature, he doesn't actually have energy that can be sensed, however he lacks the ability to sense it himself. Also, since he is a robot, he is obviously hard to take down.
Equipment: Standard police equipment minus weaponry, and special body armor for when duty calls for extreme fighting.
Biography: Mack wasn't always an android, instead he was a pretty normal person. His dad was a copy, and did a good job, and following in his dad's footsteps, he too became a cop. His dad got him into the dojo at a young at as well, as his dad understood concepts like self-defense rather well, and wanted to make sure his son knew just how to handle himself in case he got attacked.

Mack kept it up the whole time, even continuing on the force, which made in a good cop in a lot of situations. Then, a few years ago he was apart of a vehicle chase, that was disastrous to Mack. His body was basically ruined, and while modern medicine was able to keep him alive, it was clear he wasn't going to recover. Given his nigh-perfect record, and the fact that he was experienced in martial arts, Government officials approached him with the unique opportunity to try out their new android program. Mack agreed, and after what felt like a year of surgeries and work, Mack became an android.

Its taking a lot of work to get used to his new body, but nowadays he tends to not take too much work in serving the force. Instead, he tends to be on a special reserve call, when his abilities are needed for hairy situations.

[POS Industries]

Robocop is approved.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Sweet, new robocop with kung-fu actions is here, limited supply, get them while they last!

[Intern Nin]

Would it be okay if I used one of my characters from DQIX?

[POS Industries]

Would it be okay if I used one of my characters from DQIX?
Mmmmmmmaybe. Which one did you have in mind?

[Intern Nin]

Either the Celestrian Hero, The Sorceress, or My Rogue with the mohawk who wears a slime mask, turtle armor, speedos, and drill-claws.

[Overcast]

Run that last one by me again.

[POS Industries]

Also can we get a picture of that?

[Intern Nin]

Best I could do.

[POS Industries]

I like it!

[Astral Harmony]

Aw, hell with it. Why not? Time to spend five RP threads talking trash and charging attacks!

Name: Robyn Vanillox
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Career: Adventurer
Appearance: 5' 4" with fiery red and well maintained short hair, sky blue eyes, and a dark skin tone with white tribal tattoos on the arms, legs, back, and around her navel. She wears a red breastplate with a single spaulder on her left shoulder, white cotton pants, black sandals, and black fingerless gloves.
Special Abilities: Robyn lacks the ability to channel her ki directly from her body like energy projectiles, but is able to use it to affect her bow and arrows. By using the bow, Robyn can charge arrows to give them speed and penetrating power. She can even take most objects in the environment and transform them into arrows made of the same material by setting it up against the bowstring. When fired, any arrow flies straight, ignoring the forces of gravity.
Equipment: A magical recurve bow that Robyn can channel her ki into and a nonmagical leather white quiver for holding her arrows.
Biography: Born of the noble Vanillox Family, Robyn is currently on her Pilgrimage of Womanhood where she must learn to be an independant and strong woman who will continue the Vanillox Family's inexorable climb up the ladder of wealth, fame, and influence. She does this by going on adventures and generally helping people in trouble, all the while trying to learn what will either help the family or help her land this one guy she's crushing on. Not a greedy individual, Robyn's focus is to have fun, make friends, experience new lands, and help the helpless.

[mauve]

Name: Dango
Age: 30 by his kind's standards. Who cares what that means in human years?
Gender: Male
Race:Raccoon (Shapeshifter)
Appearance: A two-and-a-half-foot tall raccoon, who, like most sentient animals on this planet, walks upright on two legs and uses his front paws as hands. His eyes are perpetually narrowed into slits, giving him a somewhat conniving appearance. He wears a red t-shirt and a blue bandana around his neck.
Career: Thief. Treasure hunter. Talking raccoon.
Backstory:His family enrolled him in Shapeshifter Academy as a young kit, hoping he would use the knowledge to go out into the world and make his family proud as a great raccoon hero.

Turns out, it's waaaaay more profitable to just use your powers to sneak into places and rob people blind. Funny how that works. In this line of work, however, he has wracked up a nice-sized list of people who hate his guts and would like to see him made into a fashionable hat. He's currently working on finding a new way to avoid such a fate.
Abilities: Shapeshifting: He's pretty good at it, too. He can mimic people, animals, and simple objects, although anything more mechanically complicated than a car is iffy. He also has a habit of maintaining his squinty eyes in whatever form he takes.

Raccoon-style martial arts:....okay so he made the name up himself. And okay, he doesn't actually know any martial arts. But seriously, with that ki-channeling-or-chi-channeling-or-whatever whatsit that everyone's learning these days, plain ol' shapeshifting really doesn't protect a guy the way it used to!
....so he has a slingshot and some exploding pellets. If nothing else, the smoke at least covers his escape. Shut up. It's hard to buy a gun when you can't even reach the countertop.
Equipment: Slingshot and pellets: They explode. And hurt. Unless of course you're super-humanly strong, in which case they'd just be loud and annoying and smokey. But seriously, when is Dango ever going to have to go up against superhuman fighting enemies? Hahahaha! That's silly!
Backpack: A small raccoon-sized backpack for storing small raccoon-sized slingshots and small raccoon-sized stolen goods.

[Intern Nin]

Ah, but I wanted to use my Celestrian guy. His name was Girkin, he had no eyebrows, and he fought with a Kosha Spear.

Name: Kuu Ruhnings

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Race: Supposedly human, though it wouldn't surprise anyone if he had some extraterrestrial ancestry.

Career: Previously a highwayman, but now he's trying to turn his life around. Somewhat.

Appearance: Tall and gawky as all get out but still pretty muscle-y. He has grey hair cut into a wild mohawk, eyes that are always nearly shut, and a smile that is perpetually plastered on his face.

Special Abilities: He is well versed in the martial arts, as well as pickpocketing, and is effin' surgeon with his hammer handrills. Kuu also has some weird powers, like the ability to heal injured people, accelerate himself and others to sonic speeds, and instantly teleport out of caves( it only works for caves for some reason). His signature moves are the Propeller Blade and the Can Opener. Also, he is rumored to have a secret move known only as the Bangkok Surprise Prize.

Equipment: A hood modeled after a popular video game character, which he uses to hide his identity. Armor with a large heavy turtle shell attached to the back. His weapons, hammer handrills, are a keepsake from his dearly departed grandmother. And the Speedos... there's no good reason for him to be wearing those in place of pants.

Biography: Kuu has been a thief for as far back as he can remember, always running through the slums of his hometown, on the look out for new targets. He showed a mastery of the larcenic arts far exceeding that of his older peers, who encouraged him to pack up and move to the city where he could make it big (and leave an open cot for them to sleep on). Heeding their advice, 7 year-old Kuu set out on a journey to West City, pilfering many a valuable item from unsuspecting travelers along the way.

Eventually, he crossed paths with an odd old man wearing shades and large turtle shell on his back. Unable to pull a fast one on him, young Kuu resorted to assault and was promptly trounced. The old man then gave him stern talking to about why thievery is wrong, tossed Kuu his shell, and told him, "Maybe once you're strong enough to move around normally in this, you can fight me again. Now if you'll excuse me, it almost time for Women's Aerobics with Lula Lemon. Hehehehehe-HEH!"

Inspired by the geezer's words, superb fighting ability and dirty mind, Kuu put all of his energy into training in the way of beating the living daylights out of people. He's also trying to go on the straight and narrow, but he still absentmindedly 'half-inches" money and things. He isn't too hung up about that though.

[POS Industries]

Mauve, AB, and Nin are accepted.

Ah, but I wanted to use my Celestrian guy. His name was Girkin, he had no eyebrows, and he fought with a Kosha Spear.
It's up to you, of course. I rather liked the idea that Master Roshi is still out there, doing what he loves most, myself.

The current roster as follows:

ACCEPTED:
POS Industries - Sala, asskicking majin pop star!
Overcast - The Incomparable Doctor Q, Scientist EXTRAORDINAIRE!

NOT YET ACCEPTED, BUT PROBABLY WILL BE ONCE PROFILE IS FINISHED:
CABAL49 - Mori Shuzu, entertainer, fighter, and we don't know what else yet!

[Red Mage Black]

Yep, looks like we have the makings of a team of heroes, guys. I'm sure we'll be remembered for years to come. At least when one of us decides to write a book about it after the real heroes save the world.

[Astral Harmony]

I hope we never have to do any kind of adventure where we have to be difficult to notice. I mean, look at us. We can save the world a hundred times over, but all they'll say about us is how ridiculous we looked traveling together.

[Arcanum]

Name: Jake Jarozu
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Career: Professional Martial Artist, Occasional Traveler, Eternal Failure

Appearance: Six feet tall, muscular, light brown hair buzzed down to near baldness, and bright blue eyes. When fighting, Jake usually wears a white muscle shirt, navy blue martial gi pants, black combat boots, and weighted white wristbands. His casual clothing involves wearing a navy blue jacket on top of everything else.

Special Abilities: Jake has always had difficulty mastering any ki control more difficult than flying, and as such whenever he tries to create an energy blast it usually ends up exploding in his hand. Years of constant failure practice has taught him how to channel the explosion away from his body, and he has even incorporated this "technique" into his fighting style. His failures training has also increased his body's durability against ki blasts.

Jake is also a superb martial artist (perhaps the only thing he has truly succeeded at), and prides himself on his blend of speed and strength.

Equipment: Nothing that hasn't already been mentioned

Biography: Jake's father, Han, competed regularly in the World Tournament until he broke his arm during the semi-finals, insisted on continuing, and broke his leg in the finals. Not just a clean break either, his bones were shattered. With any hope of fighting again shattered (like the bones in his arm and leg), he decided to do the only logical thing: Have a son and live through him by forcing him to be a great martial artist.

Jake spent most of his youth training under his father and various local martial artists. He competed every year in the Junior Division of the Tenkaichi Budokai, often making it to the semi-finals, and on one occasion to the final round. His father had never been more ashamed. Han Jarozu had raised a winner, not this failure. But Han was no quitter, and he refused to let Jake's inadequacy stop him from raising the greatest martial artist ever. Thus Jake began training to control his Ki. Three weeks later his training ended with Jake unable to create a simple ki blast without it exploding in his face. Han declared his son a complete failure and banished him from his home. He was fifteen at the time.

Jake spent the following years of his life training, traveling between cities, and hunting down any and all Martial Art Masters he could find, hoping that one of them might help him overcome his crippling failure with Ki control. He would also make a point to compete in the Tenkaichi Budokai every year, though he has yet to win and prove himself to his father.

[Overcast]

I don't think the incredibly sexy and undeniably genius EDIT: and strikingly tall EDIT EDIT: and caustically witty EDIT EDIT EDIT: and sociopathically narcissistic Doctor Q has enough embellishment.

[POS Industries]

Arc looks good so far, looking forward to the bio.

Also, no token namekians so far? I am disappoint.

[Astral Harmony]

Apparently we all like fucking.

[Krylo]

Name: Cendo
Age: 11
Gender: The Balls are Inert
Race: Namek
Career: Wandering Martial Hobo Artist
Appearance: Green. Got antennae on his head. Bald. Short. Still got some baby fat. Got a serious face.
Special Abilities: He has a special ability. It's a beam of chi that is a lot like a cannon. One might call it a 'special beam cannon'. That'd be dumb, though. He's also a kung fu mastah.
Equipment: The clothes on his back, and the fire in his heart. One of those two is weighted in true Dragonball style.
Biography: Cendo is an orphan, his parent dying when he was six in one of those random super villain attacks that are so popular to show the ruthlessness of an evil character just before he is trounced by the good guys. After that he was taken in by a great martial artist who allowed the boy to clean about the dojo and train for some time, however the martial artist was old as well, and though he trained the boy with all he needed to survive and instilled in him a strong sense of right and wrong, Cendo was forced to say good bye to his second home when he was yet a child.

This time, however, the young Namekian felt he was strong enough that he no longer needed a home and now travels the world, driven by an unknown force to change the world for the better. He has no guide on this journey and so now Cendo finds himself traveling from town to town, striving to put right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.

[Arhra]

Just want to express interest, but still settling on a concept for a character.

I am highly suggestible!

[Inbred Chocobo]

This is the main reason why I want to do this rp. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anw6b4Eo6ww)

[Ookalf]

I'd like to note my interest as well. Still working on a character, though.

[Toastburner B]

Well, now that the token namekian position is taken, I feel as though there is a decided lack of short, bald guys in this group, and I take it upon myself to rectify this situation.

...Unfortunately, I will not be able to rectify it until after work, so placeholder for now, I guess.

[Arcanum]

Bio is finished

[POS Industries]

Arcanum and Krylo are approved. Signups will be open for at least a couple more days, as I'm going to be working long shifts tomorrow and monday anyway, so there's no sense in starting until after that.

This is the main reason why I want to do this rp. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Anw6b4Eo6ww)
Too bad, you're getting this instead. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EKTw50Uf8M)

[Arcanum]

What? What did I just watch? Seriously what? :wtf:

[CABAL49]

Sorry for the delay. I made him bald cause of the lack of bald people.

[POS Industries]

No worries. Looks acceptable enough.

[phil_]

Too bad, you're getting this instead. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EKTw50Uf8M)If you put it like that, I may have to reconsider sitting this out. We'll see how I feel in the morning.

[Astral Harmony]

All I know is that if Vegeta came to earth pulling that out, he would've killed Goku a long time ago.

Vegeta: "Over nine-thousand? Heh, let me just get my bling and this 'GAL GAL' tank top and we'll see how your Spirit Bomb fares now."

[Ookalf]

Got a question about available races - what's the policy on monster-type humans (like Pilaf)?

[POS Industries]

Acceptable, though technically not human.

[phil_]

What's the policy on can I be a Dracula with a katana sword? You know, 'cause he's gotta fight ki with something, and he ain't got any, what with being dead and all.

[POS Industries]

I think the more pertinent question is how are you a samurai Dracula?

[phil_]

First off, Blade. Secondly, Dracula with a katana sword, not samurai Dracula. You know, like this

http://www.gifsoup.com/view/151386/sword-o.gif

is a fat kid with a katana sword, not a samurai fat kid. Third and following from the last point, Draculas' gotta spend their treasure on something, right? Finally, it's not like he's gonna whip it out every post; I just thought leaving it out would be disingenuous.

Like, the sword isn't really a deal-breaker or anything, I just thought it would be a cool way for a vampire to throw Destructo-Disc knock-offs.

[Overcast]

A part of me felt fat katana mullet kid had disrupted my RP forum.

[Toastburner B]

Alright, token short guy is go!

Name: "Short" Guy Merryweather
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Career: Martial Artist
Appearance: Guy's most notable physical feature is, unsurprisingly, his height. He stands at a staggering 4 feet 2 inches. He has a shaved head, and it otherwise average in most other respects.
Special Abilities:
Speedy Little DudeGiven his lack of size, Guy's technique is more speed-based than strength based. However, this makes his fighting technique a rather reckless one, as he tends to throw his entire weight behind a good portion of his attack (lots of flying kicks, flying punches, flying tackles, etc).
Destructo Disc: In the proud tradition of height-challenged martial arts, on of Guy's strongest ki attacks is the Destructo Disc.
Equipment: Martial arts gi and belt, stuff to keep his head shaved with.
Biography: This is a stereotype in the martial arts community. A dark, popular belief that no one will openly profess, but that everyone believes:

Short men can't fight.

Given this deeply held belief, Guy was maybe destined for failure. Entering the world of martial arts with the stature of a 10 year old, Guy was immediately marginalized by his peers, and was almost right away was given the nickname "Short Guy".

Guy has been trying to break the stereotype against vertically challenged people on the tournament scene for a few years, with varied success. While he hasn't won any tournaments, he also hasn't been steamrolled in any of them, either. However, average fighter + short = virtual unknown at best, laughing stock at worst. In spit of this, Guy soldiers on, hoping to break the stereotype (and do good enough to earn a living).

Here, give this a whirl. I might add some details (like a name for the sword) if this is ok.

Name: Wolfgang von Battenburg
Age: Grandpa's Grandpa maybe
Gender: Man
Race: Vampire
Career: Self-Employeed
Appearance: 5'4", dead complexion, red lips, pointy ears, black hair slicked back on his high forehead into a permanent widow's peak, sports a short beard and a fu manchu mustache. Has a strong chin and prominent nose. Pointy blue nails. Dresses in a nice, poofy white shirt, grey vest, black pants, and pointy, shiny black shoes. Currently, von Battenburg has a black coffin strapped to his back and dirt all over.
Special Abilities: Is a vampire: Lives off blood, is dead, can beat up four guys with kukri knives and pistols, has to rest on native soil, messed up by crosses and stuff, can't go into a private residence without an invite, can't cross running water without help, not as strong in the day (read Dracula).
Turn into stuff: Little black terrier with a mustache or a little pig-nosed bat. At night can turn into a wolf-bat-monster-man, but that's an Oozaru-type of thing.
Undead charisma: Can hypnotize people (like, not Jedi mind-trick, it takes time and isolation) and has a productive working relationship with wolves and rats and such at night.
Swordmanship: The cursed sword he acquired can throw blades of ki and block ki attacks. It's not much use as a sword, though.
Equipment: 1x Coffin fulla dirt. Black with gold trimming, white padding inside.
1x Cursed Katana "Würger." Guard has been removed and hangs from a gold chain on the black scabbard. The blade's chipped and a little bent. Glows with red ki when drawn and won't go back in its sheathe until it has drawn blood. Gets along ok with von Battenburg.
99x Bags of treasure. Gems and coins and stuff. Kept in pockets and coffin, currently.
Biography: Skipping ahead to recent history, von Battenburg was living happily in a drafty keep over a rural peasant village, keeping to himself mostly, just popping out for a drink now and then. He was feared, yes, but not that much. Mostly, he was known for buying whatever curiosities came into town, as he was very bored.

A few weeks ago, some uppity college professor decided to tear all the doors out of his castle, etch crosses into all the stones, then burn the rest. He probably had a few grad students help. Nobody really felt like stopping him, since von Battenburg was a vampire, after all. His home destroyed, von Battenburg packed up his coffin and set out to find a new stalking ground. It wasn't the first time.

He hasn't had any luck so far...

EDIT: Never mind most of what I wrote below. Can't believe I forgot about Fangs (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Fangs_the_Vampire)

EDIT 2: VAMPIRES (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire)

Did somebody say vampire? (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Lucifer) (I was reading up on Dabura's page (because the vampire thing made me think 'demon' which made me think 'Dabura') before I wrote a post and found that. Never even knew about him before now)

But anyway, it seems like "Vampire" would fall under "Demon with vampiric tendencies (and is essentially a vampire in every way except for name)" in the Dragon Ball universe. Especially considering there's a Demon Realm (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Demon_Realm). That's just my slightly informed via wiki opinion though. (I don't remember much about Dragon Ball even though I watched it a lot when I was really young. DBZ is a different matter though.)

Also, Toasty, I hope you are prepared for this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC7kBTVCuH8) to happen to Guy :D

[phil_]

Well, looking at all that, it seems vampires have ki. Huh.

Well, I'll leave it up to POS. At least the whole "can go out in the sun" thing has Dragon Ball precedent.

[Arcanum]

Oh yeah that's another thing I wanted to say (the dragon ball wiki derailed my original post a lot). Everything has Ki, even people who are dead, as shown by all of the dead people in the Other World (http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Other_World)

[phil_]

You know what? Yeah, I'll get rid of the sword. Simple is best.

Later, though. Drunk now. Typing is hard.

Slept on it. I like the sword; sword's staying. It's a good "Oh shit, he's serious now!" light.

[Toastburner B]

Also, Toasty, I hope you are prepared for this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC7kBTVCuH8) to happen to Guy :D

And some of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J333jcuZnQ#t=9m02s), too, I'm sure.

[CABAL49]

Shorty may be fast, but he is not as fast as the fastest man in the universe!

[POS Industries]

Welp, it seems Toriyama, in his infinite wisdom batshit insanity, made sure to put all sorts of precedent in place for vampires, so Phil is approved like a mofo.

Also, I can dig the Cursed Katana, actually. I mean, just because everything has ki doesn't necessarily mean that everyone is expertly trained with it, so a vampire using an entirely different, more supernaturally-based fighting technique isn't exactly unheard of.

Shorty may be fast, but he is not as fast as the fastest man in the universe!
Look, mate, about that...

[Astral Harmony]

Well, if we're going to be using some jokes from the abridged series, Robyn reserves the right to use the phrase "Goddamn it, Nappa" despite not even knowing what Saiyans are.

[POS Industries]

It's obviously become a figure of speech on Earth over the past couple centuries.

Obviously.

EDIT: Also totally missed a whole page wherein Toasty posted his profile, and he is accepted.

[CABAL49]

I actually had a DnD character based on Nappa from DBZ Abridged. Half-Orc Monk. I thought about using him here, but pretty sure that would cause a permaban.

[IHateMakingNames]

Name: Icie
Age: 16
Gender: Male?
Race: Frieza's Unnamed Race
Career: Fry-cook
Appearance: Like most of his race, Icie transforms to converse power, though he only has one extra form for that so far. In his original form, Icie has dark blue skin. The traditional white helmet, chest piece, arm guards, and leggings are studded with a light blue circle in their respective front-centers. His "ears" are concave, and he a light purple frame along the side of his face. He has a thick tail with a light blue tip.

In his first form, Icie is much shorter. The white portions of his body appear much more armor-like. Two black horns grow from the side of his head, curving upwards. The light blue centers stretch, becoming oval shapes. His "ears" pop out.

He is almost always in his first form, and generally wears casual sweats. Normally wears a pair of shades, even indoors and some times at night.

Special Abilities: Icie cannot sense ki, as it is difficult for his race. He's taken to some old techniques from his people based on his index finger. The first is where he shoots beams of energy from the tip, much like a bullet. The second is where he gathers energy into a deadly ball, though his does not get very big yet.

Equipment: A modified scouter that had it's power level gauger disabled. It only points to ki so it won't explode. He spent three months of paychecks on this thing in the black market.

Biography: Icie comes from a distant planet. He's been told that his race was once great and ruled the galaxy. That was until a golden monkey killed their most powerful leaders, leading to a galaxy wide revoltion. The already small race couldn't handle the sheer numbers with the terror of their leaders gone. The survivors escaped to a remote part of the galaxy and hid themselves on an uninhabited planet. They have since tried to rejuvinate their race, waiting for the time when the galaxy has forgotten and they can return to their former glory.

However, Icie didn't have time for all that. He's an impatient young rebel, and there is conquering to be done. So he stole a space pod and flew off to go control the galaxy. First stop, Earth.

Icie's reign of terror did not last long. A group of warrior's were quick to take Icie down and stop his quest to conquer Earth. They also destroyed his space pod, stranding him on the planet. After his humbling experience at the hands of the Earth warriors, Icie wandered around Earth for awhile. He still had the pride and demeanor to conquest, but his defeat took away his drive. So he'd often yell at people about how the world was his then just leave. With Icie's lack of education, skills, knowledge, and money, he became a hobo. Eventually he landed a job as a fry-cook and lives in a studio apartment with his roommate Ginger. The urge for conquest still comes up, but Ginger keeps bitching about the rent money.



How strong are people supposed to be? By saga of Dragonball (Z). I'm seeing ranges from Saiyan Saga to Emporer Pilaf.

[POS Industries]

I suppose I can approve IHMN. Only having the two forms is pretty manageable.

How strong are people supposed to be? By saga of Dragonball (Z). I'm seeing ranges from Saiyan Saga to Emporer Pilaf.
Suffice to say that everyone is decently powerful in some respect, but not world-shatteringly so, and we're all probably equally as useful in that regard. Or less so, if you really want to be.
I'm kind of being intentionally vague here for handwaving purposes, since in all likelihood we'll be dealing with the full range of opposition and I want everything to be challenging in that regard, but at the same time have the heroes able to at least survive (and perhaps even triumph over through strategy, determination, and banding together against all odds) things that would be retardedly overpowered were we to be sticking hard and fast to the DBZ power scaling.

I know it's a cop out and if you really want to think about it would obliterate one's suspension of disbelief but here we are.

[Ookalf]

Acceptable, though technically not human.

You'd be surprised - Toriyama had a pretty loose definition (http://daizex.fanboyreview.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13915) of the term. If you're not sure, though, I suppose I could do something else. It wasn't that important a thing.

[Arhra]

Not 100% complete but the basic idea is there and it is late and I should sleep. I started at cowardly lion and got this. The fact someone wears a turtle shell only makes it better in my mind.

Name: Sessjala
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Race: That most humble of nature's creations, the Tyrannosaurus Rex (Shapechanger)
Career: She is the Lizard Queen!
Appearance: Sessjala's true form is a tyrant-lizard, but she normally looks human. Since Sessjala is not a very good shapechanger, her forms - whether it's human or something like a lawnmower - invariably have a flaw like being green, scaly or having a tail. With an effort she can suppress reptilian features but they inevitably pop out again after a short time.

Special Abilities: I haven't decided on anything except a mouth beam yet for energy attacks and such. Sessjala can regenerate lost body parts and do the stretchy limb thing.

Equipment: None.

Biography: Sessjala is the rightful ruler of all reptiles (and some amphibians) but her subjects' attempts to shower her with love and adoration are unfortunately marred by the fact she is terrified of lizards as a result of a terrifying incident in her youth. Yes, this can include her own reflection.

She seeks the dragon balls to wish for COURAGE!

[Dracorion]

Hey POS, you said you had idea for a morally ambiguous ne'er-do-well's role in the plot?

Name: Solomon
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Career: Mercenary
Appearance: Lean build, with short messy black hair and green eyes. Wears a plain blue t-shirt, a brown leather jacket, black fingerless gloves, camo pants and black combat boots. He'd wear armor if martial artists couldn't stop bullets with their bare hands or if it worked on ki blasts and punches.
Special Abilities: Solomon has the ability to focus his energy through his assault rifle and handgun, allowing him to fire ki blasts through them with more power and speed than if he used his bare hands.
Equipment: His mercenary gear consists of an assault rifle, a handgun and a short sword on his belt, and a small knife hidden in his right boot.
Biography: Solomon's the kind of guy who'd slit his momma's throat for a nickel ten grand, unless someone offered him ten more not to.

He started out as a martial artist, competing in tournaments for the prize money. After he won a few, people started coming to him, asking for a strong martial artist to solve their problems. This gave him the idea to sell his services.

It wasn't long until he got into being a mercenary proper, taking any job for good pay. Before he did that, though, he made sure to eliminate most of the competition. But not all of them. Winning unchallenged wouldn't be any fun.

[POS Industries]

My only hesitation with Arhra's character is the power set, shapeshifting aside, is strikingly similar to that of the namekians, so for now I'm holding off on approving it in the hopes of getting something a bit more unique abilities-wise.

Drac is approved, and I think should be pretty workable in the story I have in mind for the beginning, and we can work out the details over PM.

[phil_]

You know, I've been reading that there Dragonball wiki, and now I feel like all our profiles are lacking in stupid names for our energy beams.

[Arcanum]

Well strictly speaking Jake can only make ki explosions, but that doesn't stop him from yelling out attack names before everything explodes in his face :)

[Toastburner B]

You know, I've been reading that there Dragonball wiki, and now I feel like all our profiles are lacking in stupid names for our energy beams.

It took me two days to come up with my characters name, and it's a horrible pun (Short Guy! Get it?!). I don't think it would be a good idea to have me name all my energy blasts?

[CABAL49]

My guy is just really fast. That's it. The fastest man in the universe that is. That is something alright.

[IHateMakingNames]

I avoided special move names because no one else had them. I figured everyone was just avoiding to say that they use a Kamehameha or whatever move they ripped from the show. Given, I directly took Icie's from Frieza's two most signature moves.

[Overcast]

Doc Q doesn't have techniques. He may scream fire and the name of his special beam cannon prior. But shooting is its own reward!

[Red Mage Black]

Didn't really have any specials for Ken. As I stated on the sign-up, he just copies everyone else and he can't even remember the whole thing for the Kamehameha. I WILL however say that his design was sort of a mix of characters from other franchises rolled into one guy, but totally cool in this universe.

[POS Industries]

I will probably be starting this up tonight or tomorrow. Any issues I have with the minutiae of Arhra's ability set can be ironed out before it matters, and Ookalf can jump in later once his profile is up.

[Red Mage Black]

Man, I can never tell WHEN Ahra is around. Realize he's super busy and all, so all I can really say is that you may be waiting a little longer on him.

[Overcast]

You can never tell because Arhra lives where his location says, many a mile off from most and as such an almost polar time zone seperation. So it just requires POS not sleep one night.

[POS Industries]

I'm usually up late enough to catch Arhra. My notorious insomnia was what most helped us to long ago become the bros we are now!
