Fandom Dragon Ball: Limitless!

[Denezen]

Thanks for that, happy with how you made it out. Should be turning in the application by the end of today now that my resume and portfolio is basically done, so should be back to regular posting this week.

@Kyero, so I may have to edit my post. Karas spent 12 hours coding and building, but @Denezen's post and your post seemed to be over in at most 3-6 hours. Korvaiis would get back first with Itta's unconscious body, then Era and Sil would get back, then Karas would finally emerge from his ship and go to the Mobile base. Tragedy and Comedy would be stationed outside the Mobile Base as they are supposed to be from now on, but Karas would have entered later. Do you agree with this? If so, I'll edit my post accordingly.

I think it's a wise decision. We don't have to rush anything just yet. Karas can still be building and keep most of his dialogue. Just change it to say "I'm going to finish these drones and prep them for basic work" kind of thing and let the dialogue about the encryption and virus and stuff stick around. That doesn't need to change if you don't think it necessary. It's just Karas' thoughts on the matter anyway so they really have to time limit.

I noticed that Kendra's nowhere to be found. Is she still hunting, or did you forget to include her?

She is still out hunting.

@Denezen, in order to capitalize on your Zenkai, you should probably start making your Path to Power, aka your power calcs. You put it in the update tab, and using the calc information from the Mechanics, calculate what your new power is. You already got the injuries down from what I can see, so it seems pretty easy.

God of destruction deedara

(Narrator) On a planet, Far far away,a leader of his race is brought forth in front of two normal sized humanoid figures who are rather taller than the average person.The king of that planet is left on his knee's presenting a bright,large diamond on a pillowcase, One of the figure's,a pale tall male would suddenly speak out





Deedara: And what do you want me to do with that shiny thing?





he would say this sending his staff over towards the diamond,sending it into the ground shattering it.The male next to him would chuckle as he saw his lord do this act,he would then utter,





Nakki: My my, m'lord it seems you have shattered this universe's most valuable diamond,are you sure that was wise?





Deedara: Shut up and don't question me.





The king and his soldiers behind him,now trembling in fear at the site of these two men,slowly backing away as they had this short dialog.The king,would then utter





King(1):M-...M-..M'lord?





Deedara:Tell me now,what was i to do with this object? hold it around?brag about it to my "friends"?





Deedara's tone would change to a more sinister vocal tone.





Deedara: When i told you to bring me the most wonderful thing in the universe,you brought me this?





King(1):M'lord! we thought tha- that it would fit nicely in your home.





The king would say this nervously chuckling to himself





Deedara: Well,Nakki tells me it was the greatest dima-....what was it again,diaman? Dioman?Eh whatever! anyway,this time... i'm going to semi destroy this place,but if i don't get what i want next time...your all going to die





Deedara suddenly sent his staff into the ground allowing a minor shock wave to occur at this moment splitting the planet into two parts,the part Deedara was in,unharmed of course,but A thud occurring at the other side of the planet would be heard

OK, first of all, you can't just start posting in-character (IC) willy-nilly. You have to go to the character sign-up tab (found above the thread), create a character sheet in the format listed in the first post in the out-of-character (OOC) tab, and wait for the GM, @Kyero, to approve it. Then you can begin posting. However, there are already multiple problems I see. First, if you had read the Rules tab, Overview tab, and Mechanics tab, you would know that a) we can only be Saiyans, b) this is an alternate universe (AU) where virtually everything from canon Dragon Ball is retconned, leaving the only remnants the Saiyan race (even the Saiyan Empire's planets are different). Everything else is original, and we already have a villain, his name is Overlord Inecros. Plus, @Kyero has stated previously that players cannot create antagonist characters (though he regrettably hasn't added this to the rules, so I guess that particular problem with this post can be forgiven). I strongly recommend that you delete your post, read the reference material in the other tabs, make a character that actually fits with this roleplay, and patiently wait for @Kyero to approve it. Then you can start posting in the IC tab.

OOC- [] dw i'm just new to this kinda shit, and i'll post a bio asap, but ehh every universe has a god of destruction,whichever universe it is it don't matter,and yeah,don't worry i can wait till this arc is over,

I get that you're new, but I specifically told you that the GM does not want us to make antagonist characters because it divides the story. Plus, I haven't asked @Kyero about this yet, but I don't think the DBZ pantheon or the afterlife are carried over into this RP. In other words, it's highly unlikely you can get away with making a God of Destruction unless you specifically ask him and I'm 90% sure he'll say no. And what I meant by "Alternate Universe" is that literally everything about Dragon Ball except the Saiyans never existed in this RP, even in other universes.

Alright, found a quote from the Overview tab.

This RP uses absolutely zero original lore outside of the Saiyan race. No Namekians. No Dragon Balls. No earthlings or planet Earth. No Frieza. No Cell. No Androids. No Beerus. No Whis. No original characters like Goku or Vegeta.

See the bold? There are no Gods of Destruction in this RP. Not even OC Gods of Destruction.

Genon is correct on all of their warnings. No Gods, no antagonists. I don't care what kind of RP's you usually take part in, there are not always Gods of Destruction. If you learned that ridiculous notion from someone else, they're not fit to be called a role-player. If you thought it up on your own, get off your high horse. The "God of Destruction" is a blatant use of God-Modding by the very design of the character alone, and would have earned you an instant ban from the RP if you'd created it in my Character Sign-Up Page as the instructions for character submission demand.


If you want to be a part of the RP then you must read all the rules and guidelines, check the requirements in the character skeleton (because they are requirements and not suggestions which you can ignore), and inform me when the character is ready. As it stands now, you never even created a character in the "Character Sign-Up" page which is also a rule of character submission which means you have zero right to post in this RP.


I can understand being new, but this is unacceptable. Whether you're new or not, reading all the rules and following them should be an intuitive first step. As it stands now I am on the fence as to whether or not to allow you to continue in your attempts to join the RP. Unless you can convince me that allowing you a second chance is worth my time as the GM and that your character will become a valid and worthwhile part of the RP as a whole, I will have no choice but to ask you to leave.

Hm...


Seems a bit harsh to outright ban him. I checked his posts on his profile, he's said that he's never joined a roleplay forum before, though he has roleplayed in MMOs it looks like. It's a rookie mistake to post in the IC thread without a character sheet, I've seen it happen before on another forum. The best course of action I've found is to give them the rundown of how the forum RP format works or point them to a tutorial thread. Plus, when I introduced RPNation to a friend of mine from SpaceBattles/Sufficient Velocity, he originally missed the tabs on top. The tab system is unusual for a forum site, sometimes it's easy to miss it, especially with the white-on-white color scheme of inactive tabs.


If he can make a good character that fits the skeleton and works with the RP, then I think he should get a second chance. Just see if he actually makes one first.


@Gematria

 

[Denezen]

Sorry about the silence, notification weren't saying posting was happening for some reason even though I'm watching the thread. Weird.


About Gematria, this might not be a good "First" for someone's introduction into forum RP. I too started roleplaying in MMOs, so the transition to this format is quite different, having to write paragraph to pages instead of blurting out what your doing in real time. A ban is a tad much, but even so I think it would be best if he get better use to the medium before jumping into the deeper ends.


@Genon made the path to power (Thanks for the like), saw it when first applying for the thread, but faded in my memory. Thanks for the reminder.


Also, should I just wait till the three days pass before posing again, or can I do some kind of coma dream post about me finding my power during my sleepy time?

@Gematria

That's why I have given them a chance to continue if they want. I haven't banned them yet, but I was considering it. With God-Modding, or characters who are built for it, my policy is "one strike and you're out."


But they have a chance to continue if they wish, but they need to give me a good reason to allow it at this point. As I said, there's no excuse for not reading and following the rules. Especially with regards to character submission since they're right above the character skeleton.

Fair. Just one question though. How exactly does what @Gematria did constitute God-Modding?


Here's your examples of what constitutes God-Modding:

- If I, as the GM, write in one of my posts that someone's character is damaged by an ambush NPC attack, and that player tries to write that they saw it coming and avoided it despite that I already damaged them... That's God-Modding.
- If someone damages their own character in a post, and another player decides to "undo" the damage by having their character step in to save them and writes that the other player didn't take damage (even if it looks like a noble effort)... That's God-Modding.


- Constantly avoiding incoming attacks to escape unharmed, or even relatively unharmed, against an enemy that is either in the "equal" range or "superior" range is God-Modding.


- If anyone decides at any point to execute a transformation to another level of Super Saiyan without first having received my permission, that's God-Modding.

He didn't do any of these things. He did ignore the basic rules of forum RP by posting IC without approval, and he violated your ban on antagonist players (which you should seriously put in the rules @Kyero, before other new players waste their time creating antagonists only to get shot down by you), but he didn't do any of the above. And how exactly was Deedara "built for god-modding?" He's obviously meant to be a main villain, but theoretically you could play a character like this without god-modding. I've seen it before when playing antagonist characters in another Dragon Ball RP. Basically, you let some attacks hit you but others get dodged or blocked, thereby making the fight seem more even to a reader.


EDIT: Actually, I do kinda see why it's god-modding. Given DBZ's power differentials, playing a main villain provides a very good excuse to shrug off damage. Disregard this statement.

 

[Denezen]

Yea, GOD of destruction is about as far as you can really go in terms of starting power.

 

[Kyero]

Not only that, but anything that's a "God" is automatically considered unkillable. That's what it means to be a "God." You can't be killed. That's God-Modding in its purest form.

I dunno, if we're using canon (seeing as gods in general aren't carried over anyway), then King Kai technically died when Cell blew up. All it did was put a halo on his head for the rest of the show, but that's because death is cheaper than dirt in DBZ. And then the Supreme Kais that Buu ate have pretty much ceased to exist as independent entities and are beyond all hope of recovery, instead becoming little more than influences on Buu's personality. I'd call that a death.

Fair point.

Fair point.

Technically speaking, the Kais are not Gods in DBZ. While they're touted as Gods in the wikia, a fact which is later rather hypocritically contested with the chosen use of language, the fact that they are capable of being killed proves they are only beings with incredibly long life spans who serve as guardians of certain parts of the universe/galaxy. The very definition of a God is one who cannot die.


But enough about that. Let's get back to the RP. I'll have a post up by tomorrow regarding recent events and what Korvaiis wants to do next.

 

[Denezen]

*sorry to still be on the topic* I think the Kais are Gods. When they "Die", they end up right back in the afterlife where they already belong so they can never truly die, and they are able to sense the energy of the Beerus, the God of Destruction, when only other Gods can sense God Ki levels. My two cent, now on with the show... oh wait I'm KO'd.

@WhyNot


Not sure if you got an alert, but I did send out the broadcast and I did tag you. You can start sending Kezmen to our planet now. Just keep in mind that it's a 1-month trip from Metahnn to our HQ. Depending on where you are in space, it could take less time or more time. Your decision.


Unless @Kyero wants all the Saiyan reinforcements to arrive at a specific time or something like that.

Cool. I'll add in a post a bit later today. I've got a lot to do and Finals start tomorrow.

 

[Kyero]

Apologies for my delay. I am moving back home tomorrow, so all day today and yesterday has been about packing and donating all my stuff. I'll have a post up tomorrow once I'm home and settled in.
