It had felt so good to work with his hands after so long. Kite couldn't help, but feel proud. It was like riding a bike. Yes, the bike was a rather complex machine made to create what seemed like an amazing cup of cocoa, but it was a damn fine bike all the same. He grinned at his captain as he watched the man take notes of Tock's explanation. He laughed here and there at the old man's jokes. And finally, he smiled at the words of his new captain as he removed the bandanna from his head and slid it into his pocket.
"Right! Looks like a job well done if I do say so myself," he said with another small laugh as he began to follow Boone out of the shop. That's when it hit him though. Just as the door closed behind him he tilted his head. His pace slowed to a crawl and he opened his mouth. "Captain, weren't you going to get yourself a new watch?" Had the man done so while he was working? Wasn't that the reason behind the miniature "adventure" in the first place? He was sure that was the point in the first place. Unless... It wasnt?
@GingerBoi123Porato is pretty solid. It could be a good plot point to explore his own ideals and the contrast between him and Arkos given one had a deeper connection with their home world and people than the other. This is not acceptance, just me saying that it's a solid character and there's nothing inherently bad or change worthy about him. Sorry, you'll need to wait on a decision a bit longer as I said in the guild.
@dabombjkArlic is also interesting in his own right, being somewhat like Goku, but not at the same time. His history is also similar to Arkos who will likely be up in the character tab in the next day or so provided I have time to complete him. Still, there's nothing I would change as of now, though like GB you'll need to wait for an answer regarding acceptance.
Man, like I said on the Discord you Saiyans are not making this an easy decision. It really is going to take some serious deliberation to make this decision and I hope when it is made you all know I'm try to be as fair and as objective as I can be. I know I said that I would only be accepting up to 2 Saiyan characters apart from my own and I will be sticking too that because I want to avoid over saturation of the race in the roleplay. However, each character is great in his/her own right. So, when @SpawnMeme and @Fabricant451 are able to make their edits, I will review each character again and make a final decision. Hopefully by the end of the weak.
@TyphonI am still in the process of accepting applications. Keep in mind, as said in the first post of this page, I'm not a first come first serve type at least not anymore. I'll review any and all character sheets/applications and make my decision on the cast of characters and players based on who I feel will provide interesting plot points and the like.
Note: There are currently 4 Saiyan applications with possibly another on the way. Competition is pretty steep there. I'm hoping to make final decisions by the end of this week. Either Sunday or Saturday at the least. To put that in perspective, it it current a little past 3AM, Wednesday morning for me as I write this. If I give a concrete time line, by Saturday night/Sunday morning I want to have the cast list complete and then by Monday/Tuesday, I'll have the first post up and we'll get this show on the rode.
@BladeSS4 First person to submit a sheet. I know it has taken some time, but don't think the interest isn't greatly appreciated. I have gone over Zero and the overall idea behind him. Based on what we know about Frieza, I'm hard pressed to believe that he would allow anyone to utilize his "noble DNA" to create a clone. After all there is only one Lord Frieza. He has such a big ego. And even if he did, he would likely destroy it if viewed as a failure. I do submit that he could be considered as another Clansman, much like Glaceo, but I can't accept him because of this.
@SpawnMemeFor the most part, I like Callion as a character. However, I cannot accept him. This is because, and keep in mind it is not your fault, the history and age wouldn't fit. I've been adding notes to the Discord. As per the Planet Vegeta notice I entered (and recently edited) Planet Vegeta has been gone for 22 years. Keep in mind I did say early on, more than once, that Vegeta was indeed gone. I simply moved back it's execution date a bit. So, because of this, I cannot accept him. His history and age, the main factors, would not work here. You'll still have time to make changes or reapply if you wish moving forward. Apologies.
@Fabricant451Rutaba, much like Callion is a Saiyan character I like. I feel like it's interesting that even though none of our characters are cookie cutter Saiyans, they aren't the same as each other either. Though mine has a bit more pride as a Saiyan and like fighting more than Rutaba or Callion. Still, the same issue here is the timeline. It's again, neither of your faults, this was something I'd missed adding here, though it is on the discord and I'm sure I've discussed it more than once. It's still possible she could have had many of the same, or at least similar experiences with slight tweaks. Also, the idea of the hair, according to Vegeta the Saiyan Hair doesn't change from birth, although Toriyama did mess up a bit on this with Young Vegeta's look. And the Saiyan males at least grow facial hair very slowly. Still, I don't mind a small retcon on this notion for females if nothing else lol
I'd like the Saiyans to keep in mind that this is not flat out denial. I would gladly accept both provided the histories were reworked and I'd even be willing to help with that if possible.
@Archmage MCI want to accept Light. The only issue I'm having right now actually isn't the Void Slip, but the draining touch. Is it any tough? Is she essentially a lot like Rogue from the X-men? What are it's limits? I need this a bit more defined before I can accept as it's my only really problem.
@CaptainSullyI think Sully is really cool, and interesting as a character. He's motivated, and I can see him as a strong opponent and someone who'd need to overcome their own biases and possible weaknesses. He's accepted so you can move him to the Character tab, but we'll need to add that power level sooner than later.
@DoubleI've no reason not to accept Glaceo. I think he's a great character and I've always loved the idea of an Arcosian who isn't a Frieza carbon copy or just "playing" nice. Regardless, move him to the character tab.
@GiskShe's accepted, move to the character tab. I feel like I should have more to say, but honestly, this was just a good character, well balanced for the RP even if still powerful.
I'm interesting in all the characters so far honestly.
@AtomicNutHah... He's gonna be a fun one to read. Throw him in the Character tab. But not too hard. Don't wanna break him or the tab.
@GingerBoi123So, here is my thing with Tora. He's very clearly tailors for Earth, even if you changed him to be a Balsora native. Understand, this is again, not your fault as is the point with the Saiyans. It's my fault for not giving more specifics to the planets prior to character creation. Even so, I'll explain a bit now. Balsora isn't a world in which his history and who he is and how he has learned to fight and what not fits. I'll be adding information to the zero post for everyone to see, even if it's not the most detailed. Sorry, I cannot accept him as is.
@Weird TalesI can't not accept him. He's pretty interesting, and somebody who wants a harem just endears him to me cause I love Issei in HS DxD. Buuuuuuuut, he has no history. What's up with that?? Can't say come to the game, if you haven't finished the character.
@rocketrobie2He's accepted. He's dope. Vilgax is a great villain. Funny not seeing the look as evil. He could be cool. Move him to the character tab.
I see we are off to a good start as is. Now, I'd like to forego critiquing as of just yet because going one by one would be tough, and I have school work to complete. So, I'll give everybody until about Friday to submit your best apps. I may give a few notes here and there over the course of the week, but I'm hoping to have a good idea of the roster over the weekend. So the sooner you guys get up the Characters Sheets, the better.
Any and all pictures, videos, music and other forms of visual media utilized by me in the creation of this roleplay do not belong to me. Unless stated specifically by me, images, music, etc. should be assumed to have been created by individuals other than myself. I typically find said items of interest on either Google or YouTube, though I may have made an edit or two in the time they have been in my possession. While I do not know the artists, I generally leave any forms of identification on images if I can so they may be found if you enjoy their work. Thank you for your time. That is all.
Age 762 the Galactic Frieza Army runs rampant engaging in a conquest of universal proportions, even going as far as to raise their own flag despite being a faction under the banner of the Planet Trade Organization. His father, the supposed leader of the PTO, King Cold allows him to roam free and do as he pleases. He would never stifle the progress of his sons. The elder brother Cooler, keeps a calm head continuing to bring planets under his own rule through the means of his Universal Cooler Forces, as they have come to be known. Understandably, the two brothers remain at odds. In some cases, their forces engage each other on sight.
Age 763 The reign of the PTO, the reign of the GFA, and the reign of the UCF sparks fear in the hearts of many. But for some, those who would rather die than live as servants, these sparks have begun to light flames. The flames, though small continue to grow in secret. A rebellion is on the rise, though it’s numbers are small and scattered. Were they to organize and come together, they might just pose a formidable force, but until such a point can be reached the idea of freedom from the tyranny of the PTO will never come to pass.
Age 764 Our story opens on Planet Balsora. A planet newly united under what is known as a benevolent ruler. It is a relatively unknown planet, with a small population. Still, it boasts advanced technology, beyond that seen on most other planets throughout the galaxy. Having heard rumors of its advancements and of the presence of potentially powerful warriors, a squad was sent by Frieza after having been ordered to investigate by his father. And so the curtains open, and the space opera begins.
This is essentially a reiteration of the Interest check information, albeit a bit more organized I feel. Only the important bits. Now:
As the players there will be two general groups you can be apart of. A rebellion or Frieza's army.
Dying will be possible. If we never learn of the Dragon Balls, that's it, you're dead until further notice.
It's also important to note that if you have a character who fights, but doesn't train, other characters who do train will overtake you. It will not just be assumed that you train. You will lose fights. I will lose fights. Everyone will lose some and win some.
The first arc will focus primarily on character introduction, meetings, and not as much on combat.
Player discussion is important. If you are in the rebellion it's not very big, so lets say a it has been around somewhere between 6 months and a year. Frieza's forces, and the PTO, have obviously been around much longer.
If you make a character of a particular race, be prepared to work with me to better flesh out said race, as is often necessary for many races that appear. I see no reason for Namekians to be present, at least not in the beginning.
More stuff for you guys. Again, just recap:
Unless I have no choice, but to give up I am in things for the long haul. I hope you will be too.
I can sometimes be late. I sometimes make mistakes. I will let you guys know whenever possible if I will be gone.
This is not first come first serve. I will give anybody a chance to apply and decide which characters I think will mesh or clash well enough to drive the plot forward and make for a fun game. I am not without bias, but I try to be as impartial as possible when it comes to character judgment. I will always try to be civil, but I will also be honest. I apologize if I seem like a dick, but I will not apologize for the honesty.
I'll accept somewhere between 7 and 10 players (unless given a good reason I will not budge on 10 as the cap)
First and foremost, standard RPG rules do indeed apply.
As the GM of this roleplay my word is law. As such, please follow the guidelines set by myself along with any, and all, Co-GMs.
No Mary/Gary Sue, Overpowered, bullshit tier characters please. While it is important to note that not every character will be on the same level, it is also important that nobody is immortal/untouchable.
No power playing, metagaming, whatever. OOC knowledge should not be utilized in the IC, you should not, in any major way, attempt to control, harm, or move another player’s character without permission.
Romance is, of course, allowed. However, please take any sexual content and other acts above the PG-13 mark to PM or fade to black or whatever
It is likely that there may be death, but all matters will be discussed beforehand. Still, there will most certainly be destruction and gore, within reason. So, please be aware of this.
Have fun and try to be as active as your schedule allows. I know it is tough, but please try to let someone know whether or not you'll need to go if you can.
I honestly don't mind cursing or other variations of coarse language too much. However, please do not go overboard.
Being that this is casual level roleplay I expect a paragraph per post. Understand that this is a MINIMUM requirement, lowballing at that, as I understand it can be difficult to slam out large posts on a regular basis for some.
Finally, as the Gm of this RP I reserve the right to add and/or change any of these rules as I see fit, although I will only do so within reason of course.
You are expected to have read this section if you are submitting a character application.
Post character sheets in the OOC tab for review first; if they have been approved, they can be moved to the Char tab. Side note, special thanks to my buddy @Grey for letting me use this CS.
A few things of note:
If you're wondering how to fill out a field, consult the guide. Otherwise, contact me and I'll see how I can help.
Make sure you get rid of the periods in the hr code, because for some reason they still activate even under the "code" tag.
The sub-templates under the Origin and the final few fields are there for the sake of uniformity; you can change the layout of those if you want. Same with the coloration: it can be altered as desired assuming it doesn't make anyone's eyes burn.

CHARACTER NAME
"Quote"
NAME
Names should be written western-style: first name, then last name.
AGE
So, there’s no one specific age range for anyone to abide by. And obviously, different races would have different ways of telling time. We’ll be judging things based on Earth time for OOC type stuff, because that’s easier for us as players. And lets be honest, it’s Dragon Ball, we’ll probably end up either on Earth or in a place like Earth at some point.
GENDER
Male, Female, Both, Neither, Trans, etc. Try not to complicate it too much.
APPEARANCE
Describe your character's appearance, emphasis on aspects not covered by the faceclaim. It doesn't have to be super elaborate, but you need to have something here, especially if you don't have a faceclaim to work from.
If you've got extra pictures for whatever reason, you can throw them in a hider here or beneath your character pic above.
RACE/ORIGIN
Your character's race and origin are pretty important. What type of alien creature are they, as we have learned just about everything is some type of alien or another. What planet do they come from? Small descriptions of the race and planet can be placed here. I’ll have a separate sheet for the more detailed stuff set later.
Power Level
Keep in mind that in this section we’re either on or around the levels of the Ginyu Force in there first appearance. Power Levels are kinda bullshit, so this is with a grain of salt and we’ll be playing around with it. It does still give an indication of power though. Regardless, in this section, you can put anywhere between 5 and 150,000 no higher.
PSYCHOLOGY
It's a personality section, so here's where you talk about what your character's like. "How do they act?", "What makes them tick?", "What do they aspire for and what are their doubts?" and so on. Keep in mind, you can’t just put anything here. There’s generally a reason for the things a character thinks and does. It should correlate with the history section at least a bit.
HISTORY
Your character's lifestyle and significant experiences up til adulthood, or however old they are now. Write as much as you feel appropriate, but make sure you include why they decided to do what they do. The reason can be simple or it can be elaborate, as long as it more or less makes sense.
ASPECTS
Your character's Aspects are the attributes that make them unique and give them their edge (no not that kind): traits, talents, affinities, special abilities and so on. Generally speaking, what would go here are the kinds of things that are inherent to the individual and cannot be taught. You should only have one or two things here. Three would be the absolute most, and even then that’s stretching it a bit. I’d also like to try and avoid excessive overlap between multiple people here, if possible. So if you want something that's the same as someone else, sort it out between yourselves.
Some examples from canon would include the Saiyan Zenkai Boost, Frieza Race Golden Form, Namekian Stretching, Majin Regeneration, and Technological Advancement of a particular world, or whatever.
SPECIALIZATION
This is where you describe the skills that your character specializes in, as well as why they would have it. No need to go overboard on the description, though. Bonus points if they have a special named fighting style and you list off the techniques. There shouldn't be too many of these since they're only the skills that are core to your character, not those that they occasionally dabble in. Try not to make these too similar to another character or characters.
You’ll probably be making your own, but some examples from canon would include Kikoukenjutsu, Turtle School Style, Crane School Style, Science, Robotics, and Cooking.
EQUIPMENT
The things your character owns and what they do: their assets, weapons, objects of sentimental value, technology and so on. Only the important stuff though; exclude the overly mundane stuff like wallets, phones and grilled cheese sandwiches. When it comes to those kinds of things, we'll play it by ear since inventory management isn't my thing.
RELATIONSHIPS
Describe how your character thinks of and interacts with the members of their immediate family, their significant friends and enemies, and the other PCs. It can be described in character and/or out of character as long as it's described, and usually each relationship shouldn't be more than a paragraph at most.
As far as the PC relationships go, they don't have to be super deep, but they have to be there since you've been around these people for at least a small period of time now. Obviously, you’ll need to talk with other character to come up with this.
Guys, you can be just about anything as long as you make it work within the context of why they would be where they are. If it doesn't seem likely or possible, I will pose questions. For instance, in the case of Namekians, if Frieza's forces knew of them, we'd likely already be at the "immortality" plan stage or whatever. Or maybe they'd be exterminated. You never know. Still, it wouldn't make sense that we'd have just one. Unless it were something like Kami in OG Dragon Ball. In which case, it might be more plausible.
I'll be making a Discord for us all sometimes before I go to bed.
In addition to that, I'll probably be throwing the OOC up sometime either today or tomorrow, assuming the guild doesn't give me trouble as it is almost done. Glad to see there is still interest :D
@DoubleWell, I am using the prime family in charge and I'm sure at least one of them keeps an eye out or out for other members of the race. How they act can either raise or lower their expectation. I'd be curious to see what you come up with if nothing else. And of course, as with everything else I'd be more than willing to discuss. over discord or PM. Discord primarily because of the guild being so tempermental as of late.
Demon Shinobi#1478
So yeah, any of you can message me. I'll likely make a discord at the same time I make the OOC. Which shouldn't take more than another day or two.
Wafer D. Kite - Tick Tock Goes the... Is that a clock?
Kite smiled and nodded at the words of his new captain. If nothing else, he could help run such a simple errand. So, he tagged along with Boone under the pretense of the man getting himself a new watch. Still, walking along the streets of this new land, an island Kite had never been was interesting. If he'd had the time he'd have explored every inch of it. He was itching to run off, but his pride as a Shipwright, and his status as a new member of a pirate crew trumped the childish curiosity. Plus, he was sure he could learn a lot more just conversing and studying the crew. He'd only caught glimpses of them after all, but his interest had been piqued. It was amazing the things he had yet to see. Bonesword and Caesar for instance. Or Lilliana's B-MO. That just scratched the surface too.
Still, he couldn't help but smile when he entered the shop with Captain Boone. From the cogs and springs to the mechanisms themselves and the strange looking one the old man was working on. The old man himself was funny. He behaved oddly. Kite couldn't help but chuckle at his antics. "Hmmmm..." Kite contemplated glancing at the captain occasionally before shrugging with a light chuckle. They didn't even really know what it was. "I don't mind helping him out if you don't mind waiting Captain." He said with a smile as he reached into his pocket to pull out his bandanna. "After all, any information on that'll help us survive down the road could be useful." He added as he tied the cloth in place. He tilted his head once to the left and then to the right feeling and hearing the pops that came with the movement. He rolled his shoulders backwards and forwards.
Kite was stiff after the sleep, which came after the fight, which came after what felt like an eternity of exhaustion and pain. "After that I can get to work on the ship so we can set sail." He grinned. Nothing made him happier than getting to put his skills to work.
@Darkmoon AngelWell, a nerf in regen could even be it takes energy or stamina because it's not something you do often. But also make it take longer from larger scale injuries. Like you won't be reforming from straight vapor immediately. But maybe in a couple days. or weeks. (In this case I would provide a time skip or something, so you'd have to leave that as a last ditch effort). Maybe the candy beam could work no problem on anything inorganic, and maybe one of the things you're working on is practicing and perfecting it's use on living beings. I'm big on giving the characters the room to grow, without them starting off too weak or boring. We can discuss this more on Discord or over PM if you want. I generally try to be amicable and cooperative. Although, if you and another both want Majin I will likely choose one or the other, unless both are great characters, then I would cap it at two. Definitely no more than two though.
We'll be starting around Ginyu Force level. Not quite as strong as Ginyu himself, but definitely not as weak as say Raditz or the Saibamen (unless that's what you prefer. Range is important after all).
