I'd vote for Original, myself. Naruto and MHA are both... well, I suppose "overdone" is the probably the nicest way to put it? I don't hate them, but they are both commonplace enough that I've lost any interest I may have had in either. *shrug*

@WanderingDragon Uh... yeah, sounds familiar.

Dragon Ball - The Planet Breakers

@WanderingDragon I dunno, possibly?

Dragon Ball - The Planet Breakers

@IceHeart Gotcha. I swapped in Multi-Form in place of Regeneration, then.

Dragon Ball - The Planet Breakers

@IceHeart Thanks. I remembered the thing about Namek's climate cataclysm from the series and just sort of ran with it for myself. I wasn't sure if things like Regeneration and Giant Form needed to be counted as technique slots so I just did so anyway to be on the safe side. Which reminds me, if I wanted Sitar to know something like Clothes Beam would that also need to be a full on technique or does that only apply to major combat abilities?

And finally, in case anyone was curious, Sitar is the name of an instrument and Kakui comes from a dish named sate kakui which is made from, you guessed it, snails. Namekian naming convention is indeed preserved. xD

Personality

Proud and always refusing to back down. Some call it courage, some call it tenacity, others have even straight up called it foolishness. But that's Sitar, more or less. In a fight he tends to skip the banter and formalities, not afraid to take whatever opening that happens to present itself. Outside of battle, he tends to be a man of few words, preferring to let his actions speak for themselves. While he gives the impression of a intimidating bruiser, what with his muscled looks, stern facial expression and deep baritone voice, don't let that fool you because he does in fact have a softer side, even if he tries his damnedest to hide it. His soft spot is mostly for kids, people just trying to take care of their families. As has been learned by now by pretty much all the other members of the Planet Breakers, Sitar considers loyalty to be a precious commodity that he doesn't offer lightly, meaning that once his loyalty has been earned then it's been earned for life. That also means that Sitar's loyalty is even harder to regain should it ever be broken or betrayed as well.

Background

Despite being Namekian, Sitar was not born on Namek, nor has he ever actually been there. Instead his father, a Namekian named Kakui had given birth to him some time after leaving his home planet. Sitar didn't learn much about why Kakui had left Namek, but he had been able to gather that it had something to do with a climate catastrophe that threatened the world and the livelihood of most of its villages and peoples. Easy to guess then that Kakui likely left in hopes of finding a new start elsewhere in the belief that Namek had no hope of surviving. Of course, Kakui had left several decades ago, and it had only been recently that his longing for another of his kin had inspired him to produce an offspring that he could raise as his son.

The planet Kakui and his son had ended up living on seemed a peaceful enough place. Its people were kind and welcoming to the newcomer and his newly hatched offspring. It was here that Sitar was raised and, eventually, trained. He learned the Namekian language from his father, and also learned a few Namekian fighting arts from him as well as an odd Ki technique here and there. By this time, Kakui had joined up with a group called the Infinity Troopers. They all wore a curious emblem emblazoned on their clothes that they always said stood for "infinite possibilities", adopting that as their symbol and potential as protectors and heroes of the planet. They weren't formally a part of any military, more like a militia really. But there was no denying their spirit and strength as a fighting force.

Eventually Sitar himself also joined the Troopers, especially when an ambitious warlord sought to unite the planet under his banner, even if it had to be by force. He was a tyrant in the making, and the Infinity Troopers had vowed to stop his bid for domination by taking on his military force head on. But it was during Sitar's first real battle as a member of the Troopers that things, frankly went to hell. Namekians were a peaceful race by nature, and while some had the ability to become formidable warriors, actually doing so was a challenging task. Training and sparring were one thing, but actual battle was something else entirely. And it showed, as Sitar found himself making mistakes he had never made while training under his father. Eventually he froze up, unable to muster the will to make a stand, and this was a costly error. Kakui had to rush in to save him, and in doing so took a kill shot intended for his son. Kakui's actions had also meant that the strategic post he had been protecting fell under enemy control and the battle was ultimately lost and the Troopers routed after suffering heavy losses.

The Infinity Troopers were never quite the same after that. Morale was down, they were unable to recruit new fighters as well as they had used to, and all the while the planet fell under the control of the rising tyrant they had fought so hard to stop. As for Sitar, he was wracked with both guilt and grief over the loss of his father. He blamed himself not only for Kakui's death, but for the loss of the planet as well. He was too ashamed to even show his face to the other Troopers and instead ran away. Sitar found the ship he had Kakui had first arrived in and used it to leave the planet. He was only 16 then.

Five years have gone by since then. Sitar has long since sworn to himself to never run from battle ever again. It led to him to facing enemies and missions with almost reckless abandonment, utterly refusing to back down or to surrender in any form. It did make him a fairly good fit for the Planet Breakers, and it was with them that Sitar became the fighter he is now.

Weapons & Techniques/Spells

Weapons

N/A

Techniques/Spells

Dragon Spear: A green-colored spear weapon made entirely of Ki. It can be used as a melee weapon for a short period or it can be thrown as mid-distance ranged attack.
Whirlwind Blade: A tall, thin hurricane of green Ki energy summoned directly in front of the user. It remains stationary for a short duration after which it fades away on its own. The razor-like wind can tear up a target caught within like the cuts of several daggers all over the body.
Multi-Form: The user divides their Ki in order to split into tangible copies of themselves, with 4 being the maximum limit. It comes with obvious advantages in being able to be in multiple places at once and give one a numerical edge they did not previously have, but it also comes with a rather obvious weakness. Because the user is required to divide their Ki, this means they're power level becomes evenly divided among the original and their copies.
Giant Form: Elongating one's limbs such as arms or legs is common among the Namekian. But a sufficiently strong enough Warrior among its people can use this principle to grow their entire body into a giant form capable of crushing groups of opponents with mighty sweeping blows and equally giant sized Ki attacks. The form is extremely taxing on the Namekian's stamina, and is thus only sustainable for a short burst after which time the Namekian will be left exhausted and winded.

To do so is taxing on the user's stamina, thus using to heal or regrow a limb mid-battle can be costly in the long term.

"...Ugh." Ando rubbed his temples as he staggered to his feet. What happened exactly? He remembered the locker room, the team captain throwing a punch at him, and then... the bright golden ring! And then... falling, a lot of falling, and a lot of swirling colors, like a rainbow tunnel? Hard to describe, hard to think. Now there were voices, obnoxious-sounding voices that sounded like they belonged to a handful of annoying people. He pinched the bridge of his nose a moment, trying his hardest to block out the distractions so he could hear himself think.

Is this some kind of nature park? Ando's first instinct was to retrieve his cellphone from the backpack that had fallen through the ring with him. He flipped it open, and it still turned on. Cell service? Nothing? He shut the phone off, clearly it wasn't going to be of any help right now. That meant the only thing left to do was at least get his bearings. Ando looked up, wanting to figure out the sun's position so he could least figure out which way North was. Once he had a decent enough idea of that, he decided to take better stalk of the surroundings.

A clearing in some woods? Wait, woods? Was this part of a park or was it outside the city limits? Either way, this meant he pretty far from his district, which would only mean he was going to be late getting back. That was just wonderful. His father didn't tolerate tardiness, or anything really that wasn't exactly on schedule. He was a perfectionist like that, which meant that Ando was in for some fiery lecturing when he got home. And still the voices of these strangers was irritating him. Finally he looked in their direction, unable to stop himself glaring at them as if shooting daggers out of his eyes.

He didn't stay anything yet. His glare was focused primarily on the bickering young women, who were proving to be the most annoying of the bunch right now. Then he just shook his head, "Use your heads for something other headbutting each other." his tone was snappy, and he obviously sounded like he was in no mood to deal with anyone and their annoying quirks, "There's no cell service. I'm guessing that means we're all equally far away from where we're supposed to be. Honestly all it takes is a moment to check your surroundings you could have figured that out for yourselves." he rubbed his temples, as if this was physically giving him a headache. It was like he'd died and ended up in his own personal hell or something.

No... The only way this would be Hell is if he were locked in his father's office and chained to a desk with him standing over Ando like a demonic taskmaster. But whatever this was, he needed to figure out how to reverse it. Which meant he was stuck for now, and stuck with these... people, by the looks of it. "How vexing."

An Original FF RP, anyone?

@Ambra I hesitated at first, but you know what? I can't even remember the last time I took part in an FF RP, so screw it, I'm in.

As for character ideas. First thing that comes to mind is draw from the old faithful Monk/Brawler well. If possible, though, I'd like to throw in a talent for grabbing random objects from the environment and swinging them wildly or just chucking them people as a form of improvised weapon attacks. Ever play the Yakuza games? I'm thinking something along those lines would be fun to mess around with.

Digimon V3

In the playing field of a certain private academy, the final seconds of an intense Soccer game ticked down like the timer of a bomb. The home team for this game was in the lead, 3-0. The visiting team was about suffer a devastating shut out unless they could pull off a last minute shot. The ball was in their control, having been kicked to the away team's Captain as he prepared his last shot. The home team had become mostly relaxed, knowing full well there was no way they could possibly lose. Well, all except for at least one of them. A certain player came dashing for enemy captain and swept right under him, throwing him off balance and effectively stealing the ball from him.

"Over here!" cried a teammate who was a bit further down field, but a few enemy players were already moving to prevent a pass, desperation making them fight harder than ever. The indigo-haired player with the ball chose instead to disregard his teammate and instead take a "calculated long-shot" at the goal. The other team's goalie was apparently caught off guard by this and was unable to dive for the ball fast enough. The buzzer sounded the end of the game, final score: 4-0.

Later, in the home team's locker room, the players were all changing out of their Soccer uniforms into their normal clothes. But just as the indigo-haired player finished dressing himself and putting his glasses on, his team's captain suddenly forcibly turned him around. He looked angry.

"What the hell was that, Kougawa?" asked the Captain with a livid tone, "You ignored a perfectly good pass and stole the glory for yourself? Or did you forget this was supposed to be a team sport?"

The player, Kougawa Ando, said nothing. At least at first. Instead he just glanced down at his captain's hand as if merely expecting him to let go. He and the Captain did not get along. Namely because, despite being Captain, the captain himself was not the Ace on the team, Kougawa was. And that fact angered the team's captain to no end.

"You arrogant bastard! Think you're too good to answer your Captain when he addresses you?" the Captain fuming, his free hand clutched into a fist, and he did make a lunging move as if to throw a punch. But unfortunately, Kougawa had always been good reading the movements of his opponents on the soccer field, and this was hardly any different. Kougawa suddenly ducked down and swept the captain's legs, sending down to the floor.

"They swarming him right from the start you fool." said Kougawa in a blunt, matter-of-fact tone, "Besides, my accuracy is superior anyway, so why bother risking someone else taking the shot and missing?"

"What would it have mattered?" asked one of the other players, "I mean... we were gonna win no matter what, right?"

"Tch, idiot." said Kougawa, "One who becomes complacent becomes the first to be caught off guard." there was his usual ruthlessness. He wanted to crush the opposing team, dominate the game regardless of how assured victory was.

"Damn you, Kougawa!" shouted the Captain, his buttons thoroughly pushed. Everyone knew the Captain would have thrown Kougawa off the team long ago, but couldn't, the coach wouldn't allow it due to how strong a player he was and how many wins he helped them get. But it looked like his patience had run out and he was lunging for another punch of some kind. But this little altercation never concluded. Golden rings appeared at Kougawa's feet and the captain's fist would have ended up punching the empty air were he once stood.
