Before we begin, I'd like to make one thing very clear. Forget what you know about Dragon Ball. Its story, characters, plot points, none of that means anything here. What I intend to do is completely re-imagine the world of this series for a completely new story. Well, OK, not completely. Some elements, such as the titular Dragon Balls, will still be present. But things like characters, plots, and even entire places will be either rewritten or erased entirely at my discretion.
That being said, let's talk about the meat and potatoes. Throughout Earth's long history, many tales, legends, and myths are told of seven mystical objects with the power to grant any heart's desire: the Dragon Balls. They aren't always called Dragon Balls in the stories, sometimes they aren't even ball-shaped at all. But among all the tall tales and blatant exaggerations, there remains one common nugget of truth: there are always seven of them, and they always have the power to grant any one wish to he who gathers them all. Fast forward to the present day, where curious adventurers, having heard the stories, and, for one reason or another, begin scouring the world for the mystical objects in question. But are these orbs of legend more trouble than they're worth? After all, one never knows what kind of crowds can become attracted to the idea of hunting down a treasure capable of granting their wish.
I'm looking for a small group only. 4 (not including myself) is the ideal number since, as the original Journey to the West (the story Dragon Ball was based on) featured 4 main characters, I feel the same should be true of the RP. As I previously stated, I as the GM do not count as one of the four slots, since I will be taking on the more Dungeon Master-esque role of providing NPCs, villains, and other such things for the actual players to interact with.
