Dragon Ball - The Planet Breakers

@IceHeartI have most of the CS finished, but feel free to let me know your answers to the questions above whenever you like. Sorry for not following your sheet code format that closely.

Character Bio

___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________ Name: Lord Gastrod VI │ Alias: The Sixth One Age: 73 Race: Namekian Gender: Namekian Appearance: Height - 7.4 ft │ Weight - 246 lbs While possessing a rather imposing stature and build on par with the most accomplished warriors of Namek, Gastrod's shoulder armor and large wrapping, which he usually disregards when he values mobility over defense, is most certainly not typical Namekian garb. Power Level: Zarbon (Second Form) Combat Type: Ki / Magic │ Ki Color: White Personality: Zealous • Naive • Courageous • Tactical Shrewd in the ways of combat, so long as he can keep his focus that is, Gastrod typically takes to battle with a deadly seriousness. Outside of combat scenarios that he's most familiar with however, it becomes increasingly difficult for him to hide how out of his depth he is, not like that has ever really discouraged him from engaging in the past. Still, there can be no doubt as to his predominant motivation, which gently steer him down something resembling the straight and narrow. ____________________________________________________________________________

Background

From the fairly deep reaches of space, there may periodically arise some rather uncommon occurrences, like Namekians that have grown up separate from the usual homeworlds from which they in some way should conceivably trace their origins back to. Gastrod VI is one such whose knowledge of his race doesn't stretch very far beyond his own experience with the family he's derived from. All his brothers, in essence, are unquestionably devoted to a singular purpose in life: to obey the wishes of their Grand Master, to whom they accredit the saving of their ancestor. Upon this Gastrod lies the responsibility of taking up the fight against the forces of evil in the universe, and earning some extra cash for the interests of his master.

Techniques/Spells

• Magic Materialization

Dragon Ball - The Planet Breakers

I'd say the CS is pretty much done save for the techniques and weapons. I guess the questions I have now would be along the lines of:

• With Magic Materialization being a spell (one of the four available slots), should the weapons I intend to use it for be in the weapons section, or is that just for permanent weapons only?
• Namekians already have a great deal of established abilities, like regeneration and gigantification. Would it be better to treat them as techniques rather than inherent traits, and what I don't have written down is what he's yet to learn as a namekian? Like: no regeneration unless I have it listed in his cache of techniques. I'm actually fine if that's what you want me to go with, I just want to be sure.

Dragon Ball - The Planet Breakers

@IceHeart If I put my back into it, I should have the CS just about ready by Tuesday. Just a quick question though, since I'm making a Namekian, is it possible for me to use both Ki and Magic? He is a warrior type, so I'm not about to allow him to make dragon balls or anything major like that. What I had in mind was something closer to cannon, like how Piccolo could make things here and there, in this case maybe certain close quarter weapons. Needless to say, if you rather I focus exclusively on Ki based abilities, I can certainly oblige.

Dragon Ball - Planet Breakers [Mission style roleplay]

I'd like to keep an eye on this, as I've lately been interested in a DB storyline where I can play as a Namekian, something I feel the majority of 1x1 RPers wouldn't be that interested in working with for some reason. The intent to keep things orderly and accessible to everyone is very appreciated.

Pokémon Mystery Fusion?

---

---

It's Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, but with Fusions, you know: some pokémon merging together! For a long while the concept had been just a funny thought in the back of my head, but lately I've come to appreciate it as a decent enough idea to throw on here first. The thought did occur to me to set this up as a group RP, but I really doubt my efforts would yield better results than the last attempt at a PMD RP I've seen. Plus, I don't see myself having the patience for taking the lead of a group project of this kind. 1x1 may be more my speed though.

What has really inspired me to push this idea out there is the fan game Pokémon Infinite Fusion, which I'll likely be referring to (aside from the more obvious assets I appreciate from it) for the logistics in approaching the fusion mechanic. You may check out the wiki page here, for a reference of what I'm referring to.

I have given thought to a potential setting we could build off of if you want, one that lends itself toward accounting for pairs of pokémon having merged prior to "waking up" in the world, distinct individuals who indeed views themselves as such, as well as any two pokémon being able to fuse and even defuse under special conditions (items and so on).

Now even if you are okay with delving into this particular setting further, you should know that there's still a great deal of worldbuilding that can be sorted out, so feel free to mention what kind of scenario or idea you'd like for me to consider as far as pairings, characters and such go. We could even have our main characters be two separate pokémon that fuse together now and again over the course of their partnership. I know that one entity being shared between two players is quite uncommon, but it's something I'm willing to try out if you're feeling adventurous. And while I can't make any promises, feel free to suggest what partner pokémon I might play to make for the combination you're most interested in. I do intend to play multiple characters anyway, so I'll be fine either way.

This post may get updates as time goes on, but for now, I hope I've given you enough information to make up your mind on whether this is worth your time. Thank you for your time. :)

Mangrale's Miscellaneous Character Showcase

I'll bump this once more before I leave it for a time, returning in perhaps less than two years but we'll see.

Now I have to admit something about my third entry up there: I was at my wits' end trying to come up with a proper name for her for the longest time, such that I was only too relieved when I just sort of settled on her current one. And then shortly after I remembered that the robotic centauress in Overwatch has the same name save for two letters being switched. Now I'm just too tired to care, but I might want to have another crack at a proper name if no one wants to beat me to it first.

I had given thought to adding more selections up there, but the ideas I have for some of the characters I'm most interested in go a bit further than just their general character traits. For instance, I have this one story in mind in which it's essentially like the old show "Impastor", but I'm the small time outlaw hiding out and masquerading as a quaint fantasy town's priest and you play... just about whatever you want really, it's up for discussion. The whole thing is really niche, so you could probably guess why I'm not sure I should bother even mentioning it beyond this.

I'm still up for those fandoms I mentioned in the post above, so like always feel free to ask about them. For the time being however, just in case anyone vaguely familiar with Starbound needs that little extra to go on, then I'll pull back the curtain on the character idea I had in mind, as underdeveloped as it is.

When Starbound Meets Titanfall

A severely modified Glitch, one of many (arguably) unfortunate specimens weaponized under some no-doubt shadowy project that emerged in a time of desperate conflict. For size reference, your character (the pilot essentially) will probably be as tall as its legs. I don't really have much else figured out, but I will say that I may yet play as one or more supporting characters, and that the gender of the titan will be the opposite of your own character's. Speaking of whom, you may choose from just about any race (maybe even some modded races), background, and occupation that you want (though I am partial to sprites for character images if you can at all manage). We'll discuss moving forward from there.

And that's more or less it. I guess if you have any ideas of your own, then there is that chance that I might take you up on it, who knows? Anyways I'd like to submit my entry for most long-winded bump, and have a nice day.

Mangrale's Miscellaneous Character Showcase

Alright so I've decided to take this IC in a different direction, something experimental. Take a look at my character selection why don't ya? Might update in the future.

Also, it might interest some to know that while not mentioned in the main post, I sorta have some interest in a few fandom RPs, perhaps some DBZ/S, MHA, or even Starbound (mostly OC stuff, though I do actually have some ideas beyond just characters). Message me if interested.

Greetings and thank you for stopping by.

This is essentially a wanted ad associated for numerous random interests of mine.

Please PM me if interested

║Preface║

I've had a handful of ideas in mind over the years, some actually further along in development as I've been slowly building them up over time. So slow in fact, that it's only occasionally that I'll bring one out, opening them up to anyone willing to give them a shot with me. The idea is for them to be introduced one at a time, and depending on how things work out, I may introduce a new project I'd like anyone to consider or simply promote one that I already submitted. Each and every project will have its own post devoted to it, including anything I believe to be important to consider before you contact me in hopes of a collab.

With that in mind, make sure to check my latest "bump" which will at the very least point you to the appropriate interest check.

║Prerequisites and Expectations║

• Age Restriction
  It certainly won't hurt your chances if you're 18 years or older. I generally keep things fairly mild, but not being restricted in what I can write is always a preference. If you are in fact a minor, then you should say as much when contacting me.
• Partner Predisposition
  Even in cases where I'm taking the lead in world-building and steering the plot, I expect my partner to be ready to speak their mind, not simply either accepting or shooting down my ideas, but to communicate on behalf of what they want from the RP. I may also ask you outright what your thoughts are, so be ready for that.
• Pairing and Romance
  My preference is MxF when it comes to anything involving romance, but I'm capable of playing either role and even multiple side characters. Additionally, while I'm not opposed to romance coming into play in RPs where courtship isn't necessarily the focus, it should be implemented naturally into the story.
• Maturity and Subject Matter
  Violence, language and some suggestive themes are among what's permissible for the most part on a basic level, and can vary in drgree depending on setting and plot. But I personally won't push for overtly erotic material. If it ever comes down to it, "Fading to Black" is my first choice, especially keeping in mind the point below.
• Average Response Rate
  I'm capable of writing at least around 2-3 paragraphs every week (Approx. 1K - 2K chars per post). Output may vary at times, but that's the benchmark you should feel comfortable falling back on.
• Faceclaims and Images
  Most of the ideas on this thread are typically going to involve at least character pics of the anime/manga style, and I always make sure to mention as much among the RP tags within each header. I may have a few ideas that lend themselves better to other styles, but they may yet be few and far between.
• RP Channel Preferences
  I'm most comfortable writing on this site, as I'm quite familiar with at least the rudimentary-level BBcode options available and take to them often. Most of my 1x1 RPs thus far have been through PMs, but I'm open to a public thread if you prefer. I do have discord, though I'm decidedly less familiar with writing there.
• Stance on Ghosting
  Admitting disinterest or loss of circumstance to continue can be difficult at times, so I'm attempting a new practice wherein essentially after 28 days without a response from you, the RP will close indefinitely. A heads up well beforehand will be appreciated of course.

Thank you for coming this far.

The First Steps - Personal Ideas and Advancing Projects

Update 5 - Project Stratus (Part 1) [November / 2019]

---

It's a Fantasy Life Simulator in the Sky and Whatnot

Projected Project Tags
▌Casual ▬ Large Group ▬ Fantasy ▬ Medieval ▬ Slice of Life ▬ Anime/Manga▐

Conception

^{————————————————————}
Okay so it's entirely possible that the tags Steampunk and Post-Apocalyptic may also be applicable in the future, but for now I'll wait until I have a better grasp on the lore involved. For now though, I can say that this comparatively casual venture takes a great deal of influence from things like Rune Factory and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, a premise centered around a (hopeful) balance between adventure and the days in between. And since that isn't quite enough for me, the bulk of events will be set within a vast ocean of clouds, in a vein not too dissimilar to Skies of Arcadia.

Discussion

^{————————————————————}
And actually... that's pretty much where this project stands as of now. You see, what the RP will for the most part be centered around, in true life simulator fashion, is the settlement where everyone lives. And that's part of what I really wanted to get feedback on, particularly from anyone whom a group RP like this might appeal to. Really it's conceivable for all players to take up residence on something similar to that flying city pictured above, perhaps as the center of a journey that runs the course of the entire RP. A mildly unique concept in theory, but if that's the case, then I feel that there should be a concerted effort to map out as much of the ship while at the same time offset how potentially limiting the immediate backdrop might be.

Or it could happen that despite how viable a scenario like that is, what most potential players would prefer is a town or village situated on a floating island of some kind. I'm open to suggestions one way or another, very much because I currently can't decide either way. I would also like to mention that picking one choice doesn't necessarily prevent the other from occurring in some manner during the RP itself. And so, since this is what the rest of what's to come of this project hinges on, I decided to open the floor if anyone felt strongly in either direction. I suppose this isn't the only avenue through which I'll ask for anyone's imput on this idea, but it's the first if nothing else. Thank you to anyone curious enough to read this as always.
