SAGA: Dragon Ball AU [Recruiting!]

[Holy Soldier]

@Zero HexSo I have been brainstorming about this. If you decide to go this route, just call the race a Namekian so that the Namekian rules apply. He won't be a mutant or anything like that. I will be curious about his origin story though.

[Zero Hex]

@Holy Soldier
Naw mate I meant these guys, y'know like Tambourine, technically the first Namekian of a sort to show up on screen and all. I was just asking because they might be interesting to have around. They'd still be Namekians but they'd add more variety to the race if players want it, and besides throwbacks to the original Dragon Ball are pretty cool and it potentially gives you something extra for the setting given their particular origin.

As for me I'll probably make a human martial artist and focus on a more down to earth portrayal of his fighting skills, rather more based on real life practices and styles compared to the usual DBZ fare.

[Holy Soldier]

@Zero HexThe only issue is they were birthed by King Piccolo and this isn't going according to canon. I'm not going to be allowing players to have PC Villains. However, there will be instances where they will make NPC villains for themselves in PVE events. We'll see where the story goes though. While I will be GM-guiding it, character stories may influence the direction the game goes at times. Say, if a player character needs to find "x" or they have unfinished business with "y" and need to go journey to confront them. A good interaction between writers will be moving this story overall, and it'll all start with this tournament.

I'm hoping for this game to move like that. One of my favorite DB RPs moved like that. Where we all just moved the story together and kept everything in-game. The "go with the flow" type of stories I feel are the best.

So how does magic interact with power levels?

[Weird Tales]

I'm torn between a magic user or a mutant

[Holy Soldier]

@CommanderCoolNo different. Magic users are bound to the same mechanic as every other race mentioned in this game.

[clanjos]

Alright, how would I need to go about statting out a member of one of the beastman races from the original Dragon Ball?

[CommanderCool]

@Holy Soldier
Alright, where should I put non-weapon equipment? Stuff like vehicles.

[Holy Soldier]

@clanjosYou can reference the approved CSes that are in this interest check. So far all the ones submitted are approved. One of them is a dino beastman.

@CommanderCoolYou can write a section called "extra." The CS is just a general template of what you need to have mandatory in there. You are free to add extra information and design it how you like.

[Holy Soldier]

@Weird TalesI always use this when I can't make a decision. It makes the decision for you. decidermachine.com/?Choices[]=1&Choic… I use it in my other games too to decide who will be the leader of a mission lol.

[Weird Tales]

@Holy Soldier are you cool with a character who can use elderitch magic? Basically he would have spells based off the cthulhu mythos

[CommanderCool]

@Weird Tales
Can you really call that magic though? It was more crazy space science.

@CommanderCool

It's casting spells. No technology is involved. Basically it is like d&d's use of lovecraft's mythology

[CommanderCool]

@Weird Tales
Oh, so the pop culture interpretation of Lovecraft's work?

[Weird Tales]

@Weird Tales

@CommanderCool

Basically the spells involve beings inspired by lovecraft style beings

[CommanderCool]

@Weird Tales
Like inspired into using their crazy space science?

[Weird Tales]

@Weird Tales
Like inspired into using their crazy space science?

@CommanderCool

Basically these elderitch entities would be more inter-dimensional demons than aliens like in lovecraft's work

[CommanderCool]

@Weird Tales
Well that's not really Lovecraftian at all then! Crazy super science "wizard" could be pretty fun too.

@Holy Soldier
Alright, let me know what you think.

Appearance

Written Appearance

She's a woman of average height with medium length hair. Her expression is usually cold until potential customers appear, at which point she puts on a much softer expression. Her clothing is specifically chosen to invoke the image of a witch to help lend her credibility.

Personality

She's greedy, deceitful, and dreams of a grand future for herself. However, around other people she puts on a caring act and pretends to only care about helping people. Her one goal in life is to get rich and doesn't care if she does it at the cost of strangers.

Background

Beryl was born to a rural family of witches, known in the area for helping anyone in need while asking for nothing in return. These values were imparted on her from an early age and she seemed to be on the same path as everyone in her family, at least until the fateful day she visited West City with her parents. The son of a family friend has asked them to exorcise a ghost and Beryl was brought along to learn, but none of that mattered to her, she had been tainted.

From then on she pestered her family about why they didn't live in the city and why they didn't have a hover car and so on. This deeply troubled her parents as she was starting to lose focus on her family's noble goal. Eventually, Beryl stopped mentioning the city and seemed to focus on her training again, but this was only to throw them off her trail. At night she would travel to nearby towns and offer fortune-tellings, seances, and healing crystals for exorbitant prices. Naturally, it was all a scam.

This continued for years until her parents found a driver's license in her room. What followed was an hour long argument that ended in Beryl leaving to live in the city where she would continue to scam people. However, this soon proved to not provide her with enough money for the lifestyle she desired and a new idea hatched in her head. She would enter the World Martial Arts Tournament and scam her way to the top.

Weapon & Techniques

Techniques

Hypnosis - By locking eyes with her target and making herself heard, she can put the target to sleep. Even though the spell keeps them asleep for some time, a single blow can wake them back up.

Teleportation - This spell allows Beryl to transport herself to a location she's seen before. However, she keeps her current facing and if used while moving, the momentum remains.

Telekinesis - With this spell, Beryl can not only move objects and people, but prevent the target from moving. However this spell requires her entire focus to affect anything significant.

Extra

Beryl has been working on a collection of capsules which includes the following:
1x red Silverstar 4
1x Three room (living room/kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) capsule house
1x mini-fridge
1x recliner

@CommanderCool

Actually it is. Cthulhu entities are beyond what humans can comprehend, which means they aren't just aliens, they're more than that. You could call them gods, demons, aberrations or aliens or inter-dimensional entities.

[CommanderCool]

@Weird Tales
They're aliens with incredibly advanced tech, the later stories make that clear.
