Dragon Ball: The Titans Saga

[CaptainSully]

@Archmage MC while there will be no PvP unless people want to, I just think the swarm will be a bit OP. In theory they could just separate with every punch thrown at them making someone miss every time. If I were to allow it, there would need to be some sort of draw back e.g. the swarm can either be completely whole or completely separated and it takes one minute to fully transition from one to the other. Also, a single drone is useless.

[King Cosmos]

I might be wrong but from the sounds of it they want something closer to a shapeshifting machine than a swarm of nanobots. An otherwise solid robot that can create various weapons from its body and self repair. Something like the Blue Beetle suit or Ironman's suit from Infinity War? Or maybe like the T-1000 as a more extreme version.

[Archmage MC]

@King Cosmos@CaptainSully Yeah pretty much this. Also thinking nanobot swarm because of the Spectre from Xcom 2, which would give another fun ability to use on minions. But the robot would preform more like king cosmos says instead of being an actual swarm.

Hey, if you still got room I’d be down to join.

[CaptainSully]

@Archmage MC that seems more acceptable,

@rocketrobie2 yuuuuuup

[CaptainSully]

So for everyones awareness I will be looking at the OOC at some point Thursday most likely. If anyone has a CS to post before then just let tag me and i'll take a look. If you'd rather you could also PM me.

Also, i've been working on my characters appearance. Through cutting and pasting a few different characters together and then blending them, followed by adjusting colour schemes, I have come up with the below:

@CaptainSullyI was interested in this game, but by the time I looked at it, it looked like you had enough since you said you only wanted about 5 to 6. But if you'll allow one more, let me know. If not, you're not hurting my feelings lol. I just always love a good DBZ game (for as long as they last).

I also don't see too many female possibilities, so I would most likely submit a female character.

[CaptainSully]

@Holy Soldier to be honest I’m not entirely set on numbers yet. What I’ll lileky do once I’ve set a number is give a date for all CS applications and if I have more than that number, I’ll pick those characters I feel would best suit the story and interactions I have planned.

[King Cosmos]

It's not complete yet, but I'll throw up what I have so far.

He'd probably fit in better in Street Fighter than Dragon Ball but we'll see.

Combat:

Abilities:
Kyokushin Karate - A style of stand-up, full contact karate routed in the philosophy of self-improvement, discipline and training developed by Mas Oyama, also known as the God Hand. Ryuhei has been training in this style of martial arts since he was a child and has over time earned the grade of 5th Dan.
Hardened Body - Years of training his body to be able to endure as much physical punishment as possible has left Ryuhei with an unnaturally durable body. This aids him both in terms of defence and offence, as not only can he take a lot of punishment he also is able to hit harder as a result.

Stats:
Strength: 6
Ki: 3
Endurance: 7
Speed: 4

Techniques
• Kaiten Geri [OFFENSIVE] – Also known as the “Kyokushin Wheel Kick”, this technique involve the user performing a forward side roll towards their opponent in the air, rotating their body and striking the opponent with their heel. While already a powerful technique that puts the users full body weight behind the attack, it can be further enhanced by the user empowering their leg with ki energy
• Morote Zuki [OFFENSIVE] – Literally translating as “double handed strike”, while this technique isn’t unique to Kyokushin it is taught to its practitioners as general karate technique. It involves striking the opponent with both hands simultaneously, as separate attacks, in order to make it difficult for them to defend against both at the same time; sacrificing the ability to defend to improve the chance of a hit. This too can be enhanced with ki to make it stronger
• Ki Flash [OFFENSIVE] – One of the few ranged ki attacks Ryuhei knows, this is a short ranged but wide burst of ki release from the palm; it resembles a fire suddenly flaring to life. This technique can be performed with one or two hands, with the two handed version taking longer to prepare but being stronger as a result
• Ki Block [DEFENSIVE] – The use of ki energy to strength the body by creating an aura around certain parts of the body. While useful as a defence against physical attacks this technique is most useful at reducing damage caused by other ki-based techniques

Ultimate Techniques

• Burning Will [OFFENSIVE] – Through a concentrated effort of will Ryuhei is able to temporarily increase his physical abilities, his strength, his speed and even his ki, at the cost of sapping his endurance much faster than normal and putting immense strain on his body. (Increases the Strength, Speed and Ki stats by 50%, rounded down, and reduce Endurance by the same amount)

Transformations
• None - None

@CaptainSully Apart from a second ability which isn't necessary, I think my CS is done

[CaptainSully]

@King Cosmos i'd say his Ultimate is more of a utility move than offensive. Also I think it'd be better, in my opinion, to be a 50% bonus to strength and speed with a 50% drop to ki and endurance. Any thoughts on that?

@Duthguy Ok cool. I'll add it to the list. Once i get the OOC up i'll decide how many people I want for the RP and will give a deadline for CS'. If by that point I have less then I will be able to accept everyone. If its more then i'll need to pick who I think would work best together.

[IAmKnight]

My sheet will take a little longer, I'm about to go on a flight and once there, will need to probably get settled a bit before diving into a bed.

@CaptainSully

I figured dropping one stat to raise three was more "ultimate" than a more even exchange, but if that's a balancing issue then I don't mind changing it; I could explain it as the technique being a way to focus ki energy inwards to strengthen the body, at the cost of putting a lot of strain on the user.

I have a question though; I know that there will be opportunities to gain more techniques along the way, but will we gain more than one "Ultimate" technique? Having more than one kind of goes against the idea of an ultimate anything, but I kind of understood them as being more like signature moves. Maybe as we grow stronger we'd replace our ultimate techniques with something stronger, relegating the old ability to a regular technique?

[CaptainSully]

@King Cosmos I just see it as a bit of a Kaioken duplicate.

As for Ultimates, I’m thinking of changing things up a little bit when I do the OOC.

So I’m thinking ultimates will be the total last resort moves or moves that take a long time to power up e.g Spirit Bomb, Vegeta suicide blast etc. Then what I was thinking of adding was trademark moves. So these are more powerful than the characters basic moves and will be able to be scaled up a bit when charged so that they can also be used as finishers. So the obvious example is Kamehameha.

[King Cosmos]

@CaptainSully

Agreed. I was trying to make it less of a basic power-up and more like a last ditch effort, trading defense for offense to try and finish the fight quickly.

I'm not really happy with how it turned out so I'll be replacing it in the final CS with more of a big finishing move.

@CaptainSully

This is closer to what I was imagining ultimate attacks would be. As far as trademark moves go, what were you thinking of doing? 4 basic techniques, 1/2 trademarks and 1 ultimate? That sounds fine to me.

[CaptainSully]

@King Cosmos well I’m thinking 4 basic, 1 trademark and 1 ultimate to start. Then every saga 1 extra basic, every other 1 trademark and only 1 ultimate. I may allow for changing ultimates but we’ll just see what happens.

[Archmage MC]

@CaptainSully Hey, check our PM about my character and what I added and whatnot. Or should I post her here?

[CaptainSully]

@Archmage MC I got a few to read through on PM so don’t worry I’ll get back to you soon.

@King Cosmos

I saw ultimates more as extremely powerful moves with with potential drawbacks that could be replaced like how kaoi ken went from a move that Goku used to try to quickly finish the fight with Vegeta, to something he needed to keep up with Frieza and a much higher level of it to something that got discardedwhen he reached super saiyan

[Archmage MC]

Can someone help me find a picture that'd work for my character sheet? Trying to make a female robot who is clearly female and a robot, and the ones I've found CaptainSully isn't really a fan of.
