Bold to assume our powerlevels my dude, though I wonder what she considers big.

Big as in not civilian but someone that can give me an equal level fight at least. Remember, she is from a world much like Earth where 99% of people don't even register on the scale and cant fight. So just the fact she felt anything is a source of interest. I am basically inspired by the original Dragonball series for her background more than DBZ or any of the expansions beyond that.

But than again she thinks she is probably already dead and thus has no fear. Like, it would have been fun if someone actually started a fight. xD

Hmmm, OK fair enough. Your character's bio didn't give much frame of reference for how strong she'd be so I wasn't sure. I hadn't really suggested how strong Velona would be is all, never mind the fact that power level suppression is a common thing in DB. Thanks for clarifying.

Basically as far as backstory goes I imagine her being in a similar position to Krilin story vise. She is not THE big hero of her planet, but is bloody powerful as far as they go. Just not good enough to be in the big finals and to be the Goku everyone looks up to. Than again her worlds equivalent to Goku failed to stop the world from blowing up.

But I will admit to have misjudged the power level of this game. I was rather surprised at the fact some of us seem to be flat out powerful enough to beat up some DBZ villains that Goku had trouble with. Like that stunned me. I expected villains on that level to be something we'd all have to team up to barely defeat as was done in the original show.

Like at this point who can actually stand against us? Goku him self?

We have at least one Super Saiyan right off the bat, and you're surprised that we're at roughly Freeza level? And in Ovaan's defense, if you carefully read over the battle scene, you'll find that he fended off Freeza entirely due to careful planning and strategy. Since we're using Goku as our proverbial measuring stick, we should also bear in mind that he and Vegeta both have a tendency to just fling themselves at their enemy and then wing it from there. The only time Goku ever had an actual battle plan was the Cell Games, and even that ended up blowing up in his face. Ovaan, by sharp contrast, went at Freeza already well aware of his capabilities (same race, after all) and with a carefully planned strategy to account for such (he kept the heat on Freeza and prevented him from Transforming out of his First Form initially, and only went into his Fifth Form after the Ginyus showed up and threw a monkey wrench into his plan).

Well it seems most of our characters sort of run out of steam when it comes to facing someone as powerful as Cell at the high end of things, while the majority are around final form Freeza's strength at most.

I won't get into specifics here, but... suffice it to say Velona does not fall into either category.

Ovaan merely has to bide his time until he eventually figures out how to go Golden. After that he's basically set for life since to this day Golden Form has shown to be right up there with Super Saiyan Blue on the power scale, and I'd wager someone as tactically minded as Ovaan could use it to fight on par with Blue Evolved as well.

Ah yes, when they decided that Freeza's race should be just like the saiyans he hates so much. Ironic.

It's implied that Freeza could gone with any color, and that he deliberately chose Golden purely out of spite. So for all we know, Ovaan might choose Silver for his eventual Transformation or something else.

You've got me there. :)

As to where I stand I basically envisioned my character as a higher tier member of the DBZ supporting cast if that makes sense. That's why I deliberately set out that transformations are an option but she isn't there yet. Going my equivalent of Super Sayan is going to basically take a character arc. :) I am aiming basically to be mid tier as far as the party is concerned as my role in big fights is often going to be as a distraction to let the heavy hitters land a powerful finishing blow.

Also, I probably didn't make it clear enough but basically I wanted her sensing abilities to be above average on account of magical horns. Mostly to offset the fact some of us can't sense energy at all.

Also it's very refreshing that this forum does not have built in smilies.

At least Tabaga is now no longer the only Saiyan even if the other is from a different universe.

Funnily enough, Ovaan isn't exactly the big hero he seems to be either. That whole rebellion he led didn't stand that much of a chance at winning, its only trump card was Ovaan's fifth form. There are no Saiyans in that universe, and thus no Super Saiyans either. So now that Ovaan plucked out if there and into a cast that suddenly includes two Super Saiyans? Ovaan is effectively going to be the Piccolo of this cast for quite awhile, only finally catching up to the Saiyans when Golden Form becomes available. Until then, I suspect he'll be sliding into a Captain America role. Not the strongest, probably not the weakest, but the one most capable of taking charge and effectively being the squad leader more often than not.

Hmm, so we have two saiyans, so our Goku and Vegeta. Oni girl is Krillin. Robot man slots nicely in as one of the androids. Heran guy is... uhhh... no idea but pretty strong. Yaksha is also fairly strong so... let's say he's our Tien before Super stole his shoulders.

. . . fuck I'm Yamcha aren't I?

Comparatively true. She isn't useless like him though. Like, she might not be able to solo the highest hitters on the team but she can give them a good run for their money. Even if a SS is going to eventually win every time. And this means that she can keep any opponent tired and busy for long enough to make sure one of you can spend the necessary 10 minutes charging one of your mega super attacks and stay in contact until the last second to ensure it connects before dodging out in the last second to safety with a big smile on her face.

I deliberately made her without a heavy finishing move type of attack. Although if and when I unlock a transformation I might want to change that. But if you let her bombard someone with her rapid fire attacks for the same duration as it takes to load up and deliver one of those (Like have you seen the load times on a Kamehameha? It's like he is downloading the power through a 56k modem!) the overall damage delivered should be comparable. Those attacks are not a joke even if they can't quite crack planets like some of you can.

Really though the primary difference is that she is not so weak that someone can just slap her down like the villains often do to supporting cast characters. A single hit, even a powerful one is not going to just put her down even if she does have less HP than our super sayans.

I feel like power is so incredibly inconsistent in the general Dragon Ball medium that it shouldn't define anything in a roleplay, anyway. Motivation and purpose seems to matter more than powerlevels do and any power-boost anyone gets is completely relied on why they need them.
