Remember when Trunks traveled back to his timeline and single-handedly wiped out the Androids as well the Cell of his time? Well, what happened after that?

That's what this RP hopes to delve into. We'd be playing out the aftermath of Trunks' victory, in a world still recovering from the horrors of the Android attacks.

After defeating his long time enemies, Trunks very quickly has another realization. He's not going to live forever. As strong as he has become, he knew age would catch up to him sooner or later. And what then? Would he simply die and leave the Earth without any form of protection against threats? No, without any second thoughts, Trunks decided that he would never let that happen, and so he began a new mission. He began searching all over the world, seeking out any survivors he could find who had even the smallest potential. It would be a long shot, but this was Trunks' only option. He'd take these survivors, misfits from all different walks of life, and attempt to train them, turn into the next Defenders of Earth.

Of course, things are never so simple. Evil is always lurking in the shadows, looming in the distance and just waiting for an opportunity to smash apart what little peace the Earth has left. So answer this question: What will you do about it? Will you succumb to fear and stand aside? Or will you roll up your sleeves, grit your teeth and fight for your planet?

Interested

interested, would a magic user be allowed, or would everyone exclusively be using ki?

Well, technically we'd be starting with nothing in terms of notable abilities. After all, Trunks gathered us from the wreckage of the Android attacks and it's very unlikely he'd stumble on anyone with existing power to speak of. Short answer, though, is yes, mystical elements can play a part in this, but you'd have to work just as hard to learn them as you would with Ki.

What power level will we start around?

Short answer: Haven't decided, but definitely not that high.

The RP is likely going to start at around 6 months or so after the Androids' defeat. This gives Trunks plenty of time to search the world for the people he will train and get them started on it. It also allows for enough time to pass that word of the Androids' destruction has spread pretty far and rebuilding has started in some places. In other places... not so much. One aspect I plan to implement is that, in the wake of the Androids, law and order simply doesn't exist in some parts of the world thanks to the widespread destruction they caused, resulting in a noticeable rise in bandit gangs raiding city ruins for whatever they can loot. Other places might have been taken over by crime lords or the like who would see this as a golden opportunity to make grabs for power since the governments are still in bad shape.

I'm interested!

Interested.

What species will be available? I'm asking that because I plan on being a Majin. I think it's possible, since they're not really extinct or whatever.

Continuing on from this, Would a sort of cyborg be available?

The Majin race exists as a single being (Buu), which then reproduced asexually. Given that Buu was never released in this timeline (presumably from the Androids killing Babidi when he came to Earth), he should still be the only Majin in the universe.

That said, Trunks is the only living person with any Saiyan blood, and there should be no Namekians on Earth. Frieza and King Cold are probably also dead.

Just my two cents. I'm interested, incidentally.

Fun times.

Anyways, would it be too unrealistic, in a world of Saiyans, Demons, and Power Levels, for a piece of Majin Buu's body to have been hit off during a battle or something, and wormed itself away to form another Majin?

it wouldn't even need to be a decent chunk given that buu can regenerate from vapor, and while no one Buu had ever faced was even close to as strong as him, they wouldn't need to be to damage him because his body's like putty.

In the Heroes and Xenoverse canons, Buu had to make a deliberate effort to animate chunks of his own body into other Majins. In both of these, Majins also decrease in power exponentially with each generation. Even so, 2% of Buu's power would be stronger than anything on Earth. Buu's also been sealed for about five million years, so this theoretical offspring would be ludicrously old.

I'm not trying to "No Fun Allowed," as much as it may seem, I just think that a Majin would be very much at odds with the canon of the setting, as well as the tone of the RP. If we're supposed to be the scraps to be trained up into the next generation of Earth's defenders, having one of us as the direct descendant of one of the most powerful beings in the universe is kind of off-putting.

You don't have to be so strict to canon you know. All you're doing is making Asuu's RP experience worse by arguing against him. If the GM allows it them the GM allows it, stop trying to influence his decision.

Lol no it's cool. I'll be human.

Regardless, this RP seems cool.

OK, too many people to answer directly so I'll just address the race questions with bullet points.

1. Majins: I'm afraid Dead Cruiser hit the nail on the head. The Androids wiped out Babidi when he tried to do his thing (since they were still around at the time, hell it could have easily happened while Trunks was in the past). Ergo, Buu is still in hibernation deep under the Earth (*cough*totallynotforshadowinganything*cough*), so there's no plausible way to use the Majin race.

2. Namek: Obviously Namek still exists, well sort of. Remember that vacation Goku took to New Namek where he saved them from Meta Cooler? Unfortunately, since Goku died in this timeline Meta Cooler succeeded in conquering New Namek and the Namekians are now either his slaves or scattered across the galaxy. Naturally, many of the ones who escaped would come to Earth, since it's the only other planet they know of. So yes, some Namekian refugees have started coming to Earth shortly after the Androids were destroyed.

3. Saiyans: This one should be pretty self-explanatory. Trunks is the only person in the galaxy (note that I said "galaxy" and not "universe") with Saiyan blood. There are technically three Saiyans still out there (Paragus, Broly, and Tarble) but I doubt any of them will be playing a role in this RP. That being said, Saiyans will have to be excluded from the list of playable races because, well, they're extinct, plain and simple. The fact that a couple of survivors are floating around in entirely different quadrants of the universe doesn't justify allowing a bunch of previously unknown survivors to start popping up for no reason.

4. Androids/Cyborgs: This one is... allowed, but do remember that Earth has just spent the last 20 or so years getting absolutely buttfucked by a pair of these, so good luck trying to survive the lynch mob that will absolutely no doubt be calling for your head should you go this route.

Yeah my character is going to be a recluse anyway, so the crowds of angry mobs wouldn't really see him unless they intentionally searched for him. Question, are the original cast in the RP other than Trunks? And would our characters be allowed to interact or have interacted with them in the past? I was thinking of my character having met Yajirobe at one point.

You do remember that most of them are kind of dead, right? It'd be hard to interact with a dead person unless you yourself are dead. I'd rather avoid past connections with known characters, since I want Trunks' recruits to be about raw as it could possibly be, but I doubt a previous acquaintance with Yajirobe is gonna break the game so I'd be willing to make an exception with that one.

Also, how recluse are you talking? He'd have to come out of hiding to join Trunks' team at least otherwise the RP might be kind of boring from your point of view.

I need to make one more note about Namekians. Dragon Clan members are extinct. That means no new Dragon Balls for Earth, which means death is very much permanent and therefore something you don't want to make light of... especially given the current apocalyptic state of the world right now.

Would an OC Race be eligible?
