Dragon Ball - To Whom the Planets were Sold

<Snipped quote by HaltingBlooper>

Well you can attempt to make an original alien species; however, I will need to approve it before it can become a playable character. If it really is just a 'subspecies' of saiyan though, I'll probably not approve it.

@NubianLegend: A Namekian who for some reason is attracted to the female body? Lol, well certainly seems entertaining, character looks good for the most part.

@Rune_Alchemist: Looks good for the most part however...Glimmer Blast seems a little much. The Kamehameha and Galick gun are both rather powerful techniques that take a little bit of time to concentrate the necessary ki, so being able to fire multiple shots in rapid succession seems a little much. Needs some adjustment otherwise all it basically just becomes rapid fire Kamehamehas.

@IceHeart

I thought a Namekian with a developed though pervertedly skewed sexuality would be interesting to play around with. Also, he does indeed have a "mini-hammer" and it does indeed work, surprisingly...probably explains why he feels like an outsider among his people. While nowhere near as bad as Muten Roshi, it's there.

Dragon Ball - To Whom the Planets were Sold

Hammer

Name: Hammer
Appearance: Hammer is a namekian warrior of above average height (6'3") and around 200 or so lbs.
Age: 22
Race: Namekian
Gender: It's complicated
Personality: Hammer is a bright young warrior of Namekian descent. Although raised within the confines of respectful honest Namekian society, he isn't above lying or using underhanded tactics to win a necessary battle. Although Namekians aren't particularly a warring people, he seems to possess a healthy thirst for training and warfare. As well as other, not so noble interests...I guess you can say he picked up some unsavory habits on earth.

Bio: Hammer is a gifted warrior among the Namekian people. Fulfilling a role very much similar to that of his predecessor Nail. Unlike his namekian brethern, he seems to possesses some aspects of Piccolo's outsider personality. Finding the simple tranquil existance of the new Namek woefully boring. Earth's chaotic environment interests him for reasons he can't exactly explain.

Aura Color: Light purple
Preferred Fighting Style: Balanced
Signature Combat Techniques:

A few stand out as specialty techniques.

Sharpen Force Sword - Hammer's signature technique that Hammer came up with all on his own, A powerful technique that turns Hammer's forearm into a force of maximum cutting power. He concentrates ki-energy into his forearm taking on the shape of a blade, the energy stored in his arm can cut through practically anything.

Mystic awakening - A technique similar to the kaoiken, Hammer douses himself with a current of electricity, which heightens his speed and physical attributes beyond their limits, for a duration period.

Mystic elongation technique - a technique that allows the user to extend their arms to great lengths.

Multi-form clones - Needs no explanation.

Masenko - Can use the Masenko energy wave in its various form.

After-image technique - Needs no explanation.

Limb Regeneration - Needs no explanation.

Namekian Fusion - Needs no explanation.

It's Time For An Adventure!!!!

Oh

Adventure Time!!!

Arkham's Finest: The Age of Madness

Cool since you're not the original superman, you are now a completely different character, like a copy if you will.

@xXSINXx

I wouldn't exactly call him a copy, he has his own unique origin and qualities that make stand alone imo. Sort of like how all the earth lanterns are different.

Hider

Kyrptonian Name: VAL-ZOD
Alter ego: Cory Washington
Alias: Superman, Powerman
Age (19+): 24
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 215 lbs.
Father and Mother*: Presumably deceased. Adopted by the Washington family in Georgia.
Personality (Optional): Cory is a decent guy by most accounts, but he's no pushover. Cory isn't quick to anger but he doesn't mind humbling those who deserve it. He possesses a razor sharp wit and a silver tongue to boot. Perhaps he does have a bit of an ego, but tries to keep it reigned in at times, as his alter ego, a civil servant working behind the scenes of local government, he doesn't mind working within the system to bring change to the people of the city. Being a superhero is more than just punching people in face.

Bio(Optional): Power man or Val-Zod as he's more commonly known among his people is a young Kryptonian of Vathlonian descent. An island continent mostly inhabited by other dark-skinned kyrptontians, existing outside the planetary federation. Vathlo Island is described in records as a "a developed sovereign state that retained its independence throughout history and did not join the planetary federation, though good relations were maintained". By the time General Zod came into power, Vathlo islands were re-annexed. All subsequent children born to the islands were given the surname Zod and assimilated into the empire, though regarded as somewhat less than other kyrptonians.

Val-Zod was one of the last kyrptonian survivors stowed away in escape pods when the planet ultimately met its demise. While on Krypton. He was briefly in the custody of Lara and Jor-El and was raised alongside Kal-El , the man who would take up the title as the first Superman of Earth. His pod landed somewhere in the Atlantic where he presumably surfaced near the coast and civilization. there was a bit of local news about the mystery boy who turned up at sea. It wasn't long before he was adopted by a family in Georgia and given the first name Cory and the surname "Washington". He was around 5 or so at the time. Memories of krypton are hazy at best and appear occasionally as temporary visions. For much of his young adult earth life he was brought up in his grandfathers church, and raised in tradition of Earthly customs.

Cory is now 24 with a postgraduate degree in political science that he obtained from Florida A&M and is a staffer in the Georgia house of representatives, where he works as an aide to the incumbent Mayor of Atlanta.

Skills/Abilities: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Val-Zod possesses the same potential powers as any Kryptonian. For all intents, Val-Zod IS Clark's physical equal in powers. These abilities include:

Solar Energy Absorption
Heat Vision
Super-Hearing
Enhanced Vision
Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision
Telescopic Vision
X-Ray Vision
Microscopic Vision
Infrared Vision
Flight
Invulnerability
Superhuman Stamina
Superhuman Strength
Superhuman Speed
Superhuman Agility
Superhuman Reflexes
Super-Breath

It's hard to think a little green rock can deprive him of all his powers.

Other than his more obvious super "talents". Val-Zod is quite an accomplished multi-instrumentalist in his own right. He can blow a sax, a trumpet, can play the piano, as well as a violin. Drums, he's not so good with...

Equipment: His equipment on hand is sparse considering his powers enable him to do so much, but he does keep a secret stashe in a certain fortress.

Ｄyαиιмιтє Ｇʟσvє !!! - A Boxing Roleplay - (Low Casual)

Theme

Genre - boxing, anime, semi-realistic
Format - semi-literate - +2 para req
Status - Open

Ah, boxing - "the sweet science," as it's also called. Fans of the sport can speak volumes about their favorite bouts, their favorite athletes, and maybe even the Marquess of Queensberry Rules. No sport encapsulates the spirit of exceptionalism quite like boxing. Ever since its induction into the Olympic games of 1904 and having undergone many regulatory revisions since, the sport of boxing has gradually eased away from its bare knuckle roots to become a multi-national billion dollar empire and an alternate measuring stick for global and domestic disputes. Some see it as a barbaric practice mired by a history of controversy -in and outside the ring, little more than an bankrupt bloodsport, while others see it as a legitimate sport with a rich history, customs and a culture all to its own, a true sport of gentleman.

Who is this for / What is this about?

You're probably thinking to yourself. A boxing roleplay sounds cool, but what is this roleplay about specifically? What is this roleplay like? Is this for me? To put it simply. This roleplay is a mismash of nintendo's punch out!!! and sport's anime drama's like hajime no ippo(fighting spirit in the u.s.) and ganbare genki , borrowing mostly from the former than the latter, if you like drama, anime and or boxing then this most likely will appeal to you in some fashion. A good portion of the game will develop around the lives of the boxers themselves. Friends, families, lovers, fans, groupies, rivals, foes and such. All that goes along with the often unorthodox lifestyle of professional prized-fighters. Athletes are not like you and me, they often live remarkable lives on the fringe of pain and discovery, triumph and defeat, overcoming improbable odds and no athlete is quite like a boxer.

I was thinking a good mix of action, romance/smut and drama to keep things intriguing story-wise. So this just won't all be in-ring stuff. Boxers and non-boxers alike are encouraged to participate.

You can start off in the indies and work your way up to the world stage. Or you can choose to start at the top and maintain your legacy. Either way, the life of a boxer is paved in pain, sweat, and glory.

This game revolves around the lives of boxers going from their origins to where they rank amongst their peers and all-time legends. What argument will your boxer ultimately demonstrate to the sport of boxing? I'll accept champions and tomato cans alike. Boxers, trainers, sparring partners,entourage, promoters, managers, matchmakers are all needed.

Punches

There are four basic punches in boxing: the Jab, Cross, Hook, and Uppercut. If a boxer is right‐handed, his left hand is the lead hand, his right hand is the rear hand. The following techniques apply to a right‐handed boxer. As stated previously, a right‐handed boxer is commonly described as orthodox, while a left‐handed boxer is called an unorthodox boxer or a southpaw.

• Jab – a quick, straight punch thrown with the lead hand from the guard position. The jab is accompanied by a small, clockwise rotation of the torso and hips, while the fist rotates 90 degrees, becoming horizontal upon impact.
  
  The jab is the most important punch in a boxer's arsenal because it provides a fair amount of its own cover and it leaves the least amount of space for a counter‐punch from the opponent. It has the longest reach of any punch and does not require commitment or large weight transfers. Due to its relatively weak power, the jab is often used as a tool to gauge distances, probe an opponent's defenses, and set up heavier, more powerful punches. A half‐step may be added, moving the entire body into the punch, for additional power. Despite its lack of raw power however, the jab is often considered to be the most important punch in boxing, usable not only for attack but also defense, as a good quick, stiff jab can interrupt a much more powerful punch, such as a hook or uppercut.
  
  
• Cross – a powerful straight punch thrown with the rear hand. From the guard position, the rear hand is thrown from the chin, crossing the body and traveling towards the target in a straight line. The rear shoulder is thrust forward and finishes just touching the outside of the chin. At the same time, the lead hand is retracted and tucked against the face to protect the inside of the chin. For additional power, the torso and hips are rotated counter‐clockwise as the cross is thrown. The cross can also follow a jab, creating the classic "one‐two combo." The cross is also called a "straight" or "right." The cross has been widely disputed as one of the most powerful, if not the single most powerful punch in the boxer's arsenal.
  
  
• Hook – a semi‐circular punch thrown with the lead hand to the side of the opponent's head. The torso and hips are rotated clockwise, propelling the fist through a tight, clockwise arc across the front of the body and connecting with the target. At the same time, the lead foot pivots clockwise, turning the left heel outwards. Upon contact, the hook's circular path ends abruptly and the lead hand is pulled quickly back into the guard position. A hook may also target the lower body (the classic Mexican hook to the liver) and this technique is sometimes called the "rip" to distinguish it from the conventional hook to the head. The hook may also be thrown with the rear hand.
  
  
• Uppercut – a vertical, rising punch thrown with the rear hand. From the guard position, the torso shifts slightly to the right, the rear hand drops below the level of the opponent's chest and the knees are bent slightly. From this position, the rear hand is thrust upwards in a rising arc towards the opponent's chin or torso. At the same time, the knees push upwards quickly and the torso and hips rotate counter‐clockwise and the rear heel turns outward, mimicking the body movement of the cross. The strategic utility of the uppercut depends on its ability to "lift" the opponent's body, setting it off‐balance for successive attacks. The right uppercut followed by a left hook is a powerful combination.
