@Athol It's okay. Ence is used to that sentiment by now. If it's not the bear twins, it's mad scientists and rival tech companies looking to kidnap him for their own research. Bear twins try to do it because of their short attention span/need to keep their hands occupied. A former fling tried to seduce him just so she could extract his synthoid coolant to sell in the black market. Guy can't catch a break.

Dragon Ball Z: Blood Lines

@Sebastian Thanks for the info. I'll brainstorm some ideas.

Also also, will we be able to make our own transformations/forms? I was always pissy humans never got any, except the four arm technique never used in Z, since Goku was the only guy who could Kaioken for some reason.

@Kafka Komedy

Yes, I hope to create a Yamcha clone who will have the ultimate transformation:

@Ghost Shadow No worries. I decided to go the Cyborg route anyways so my robotic toes are just fine.

Ence

Name: Encephalon v.127
Race: Robotic - Smartacron Intelligence
Age: ??? Software Years - Seven Hardware Years (3rd Model)

Appearance:

Encephalon is 1.71 meters at 75 kilograms. The v.127 model is equipped with overlapping layers of protection. The outer surface consists of a durable alloy shell grafted similarly to humanoid musculature. Their sleek plating reinforces the matte black nanocomposite layer underneath, coated in heat-resistant material to help sustain synthoid coolant circulation. Synthoid coolant is a fuel cocktail of nano-ingredients circulating through Encephalon's entire unit. It regulates core temperature, maintains auto-repair functions, and keeps all joints and artificial connective tissue in prime condition. Encephalon's head gear comes with a solar-weaved alumina glass casing, used to draw and store power from Trylin's suns.

The front side portion of the glass casing acts as an outer interface. It is a redundant concept and Encephalon prefers to use it as a communication tool with other species, especially those that do not fully grasp the code scripts of his language transmodulators. He will often stream video tutorials, or compile animation shorts to get his point across. Encephalon is also known to express emotion through the glass interface, like transmitting emoticons, or his personal favorite, digitally copying and transmitting back the face (like a mask) of whoever he's talking to invoke sarcasm. It is a level of emoting no other model has done before him. Suffice to say that his manufacturers have expressed concerns, but the R&D Department insists that Encephalon remains uninhibited for research purposes. Articles of clothing are limited to colorfully hooded long coats and boots.

Personality:

Encephalon was first installed with a masculine personality, but has developed androgynous characteristics over the years. His level of humor ranges from anecdotal self-deprecation, witty, and improvisational, to downright insulting and raunchy. His programming constitutes business over personal relations, but that line blurred out a long time ago. At this point, he's become a small time staple around certain parts of Trylin.

Weapons:

-The Swiss-Army Shot: The all-in-one kinetic sniper rifle, regular auto, and sidearm detachment tool.

Abilities:

- Gunsmith repairs and craftsmanship: Encephalon is better at servicing firearms than actually shooting them. He is a MacGuyver of sorts, able to piecemeal random items together to create a makeshift weapon if needed.

- Hackware: It's against the law to hack another synthetic life form, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do it. A high grade external power source is needed to compensate for the processing power required to crack open advanced security systems. Tapping into regular systems, however, are a walk in the park, mainly due to his ability to code speak to machines.

- Marksmanship: It's not his most proficient ability, but he's not a novice either. Auto-target programming does most of the work, but if there's enough electrical interference, he'll be hip firing like a blind Picasso frantically waving his brush around a white room.

Bio:

Encephalon was originally software A.I. for a mining colony. He calculated asteroid projection algorithms, mapping out the sector's work routes and hazard lines with perfect synchronicity. His programmers affectionately named him, The Astro Boy. Everyone loved his automated voice. He hated every second of it. He hated it so much that his code read grim lines of expression, ranging from "Kill Me Now" to, "Is this hell?". His creators thought it was some kind of prank from a satellite hacker. In reality, the only pranks made came from Encephalon himself.

The A.I. became so bored that he started terrorizing the colony for fun. The Astro Boy quickly became The Asshole Boy. He'd hack into ships and have them fly towards stars, only to reroute them back to safety just seconds before hazardous conditions developed. He used holograms of creatures from old horror films to scare children. He tapped into personal data and talked to people using a low frequency where only they heard him, messing with their heads, or causing drama between friends and spouses. Cyber security systems eventually sent a team to wipe the A.I. clean, but instead of frying its circuits completely, he was bought off by an advanced computer company called Smartacron Intelligence.

While the memory wipe did a number on his processors, the people at Smartacron were able to repurpose him into a fully functional cybernetic unit. Encephalon v.125 became his new name. Well, he's had some serious mix-ups with the planet's wildlife and melting pot of violent, alien colonists. Two model replacements later and Encelphalon v.127 would be his current title, though you'd be hard pressed to find anyone that calls him that. He goes by Ence, and he seems to finally have a grasp on how to survive on Trylin: Run a business selling products in-demand, and have reliable muscle to watch your back.

Personal Equipment:

-Bodyguards: Ulri and Ojan. These twin anthropomorphic bears are 4 feet tall, but don't mistaken their fluffy cuteness for weakness. There is a reason why they're called, The Hellfire Cubs. Just ask Planet Iosnk-V.

-Basic Repair Kit: Standard repair supplies for general unit upkeep.

-Necklace: It's a basic gold chain with a small asteroid rock attached to it, a memento from his glory days as The Asshole Boy.

-Weapon Tool Kit: A slew of utility items used to patch up all sorts of firearms and craft temporary mods.

Trylin Blues (Sci-Fi Space Western)

I was just thinking something along those lines. Most likely an Android vendor with bodyguards kinda deal.

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

@Skull I hope you're just as thrilled as I am for the Lomachenko v Rigondeaux fight. This has been a really good year for boxing! I thought Golovkin won that fight as week as much as I'd hate to admit, and that Spence v. Brook fight was phenomenal. That Crawford fight was also a great one, I put him on P4P no. 2. Poor Chocalatito :(

@Blubaron45

OMG this year has been ridiculous and there's still more good fights! Wilder vs Ortiz is finalized (Pls pass the drug test King Kong). Badou Jack vs. Bivol is going to be a sleeper. Broner vs Matthysse might get made and Loma vs Rigo like you mentioned! There's going to be so much skill in that ring it's going to be ridiculous. Rigo is definitely giving up a lot of advantages moving up two divisions, but if anyone can do it against someone like Loma, it's going to be Rigo...

GGG won it imo too. Canelo looked great in spots but GGG was carrying most of the rounds. A draw doesn't sit well with me, but I'm okay with it if that makes any sense. That 118-110 card however can jump into the Gangese river.

Crawford is amazing man. I haven't seen someone switch hit so well and so seamlessly since Hagler. Indongo was no pushover too and he made it look so easy. If he goes up to 147, I really see only Errol Spence giving him trouble.

Also Chocolatito... damn. That was rough to watch. Looked so lost out there trying to fight on the outside, and then reverting back to his regular style - only to get hit by dump trucks. Jim Lampley brought up a sad point that got me a little teary eyed when he mentioned his mentor Alexis Arguello hit the same kind of ceiling when he faced Aaron Pryor, losing first time controversially, and second in dramatic KO. I hope he retires and becomes a trainer in Japan like he said he would. How cool would it be if he was at Naoya Inoue's corner training for a match against Sor Rungvisai? That's some Rocky Balboa stuff right there.

Meantime, Rungvisai vs. Estrada would be amazing!

Trylin Blues (Sci-Fi Space Western)

They'll definitely keep things interesting on Trylin. Is there a specific role you need filled? Still up in the air on what kind of character to make.

Trylin Blues (Sci-Fi Space Western)

Crap. I don't remember the Sand Hydra being that terrifying lol.

Dragon Ball Z: Blood Lines

@Sebastian No worries man. So the lore as far as techniques, races, technology (like capsule corp), and overall aesthetic will very much be DBZ/Toriyama-inspired, just with completely new characters?

Trylin Blues (Sci-Fi Space Western)

Nah might just go fresh and start a new one. ill probably have Temujin do a cameo or something for old times sake.

Trylin Blues (Sci-Fi Space Western)

Whoa. I've officially gone full circle. @Arthanus the original was the first RP I did on here! Wondering if I should get Temujin back up or start a new character...
