Fandom Dragon Ball: Z Adventures (AU/OC- Recruitment)

[PlusUltra]

I actually just pasted the sheet from another game that i ended up not running and was told about this one, but yeah i can remove the Barrier ability and maybe learn that later on. In the show the Androids do actually have all those abilitys so its not actually an amalgamation, ie 17 and 18 have energy Absorption, its not something that was unique to 19/20.

But i do apologise for not editting it beforehand, i normally assume edits are going to be asked for, so easier to shoot for the moon with it and get it lowered down to fit, since your at least going to hit the next field.

 

[The Black Knight]

You're good. You're accepted. You can post an intro whenever you want or wait until you feel it's right.

 

[PlusUltra]

Yeah i need to try and read up to work out a way to introduce myself that doesnt feel forced.

 

[leahsnyder00]

I'm interested! But, I have never role-played on this website. I've got an idea of what I'm supposed to do but just in case I wanted to ask you what all do I have to do to join. If I can join, of course.

 

[The Black Knight]

Just fiil out the CS to the best of your ability. I aplogize for having been absent the last two days. Work was terrible .

 

[PlusUltra]

Could you summarize the recent RP events? It seems people are on a Alien planet or something (which does limit the human introductions a bit so might need to get creative/reason to be there other than crashing in)

 

[The Black Knight]

They are on earth in the north. The past events do not matter because this is a brand new saga. Kousetsu Village is Grisha's home village. It is tucked in a snow-covered valley in the mountains.

 

[PlusUltra]

Oh, must have missed that bit...was thinking it was another planet for some reason. Hmm well could always pop in with a Dragon Radar as a reason, or say the fighting actually triggered an avalanche in another area and there coming to investagate?. Either of those sound ok?

 

[Jz-ahn]

this still open?

 

[The Black Knight]

We're always open and always going to be open.

I'm interested, but a little concerned in terms of activity. It seems like this RP has a history of week-long gaps, and that tends to lead to a lot of people (often myself included) losing interest and dropping out fairly quickly. Is that something you guys expect to be remedied due to Summer, or is that going to be an issue that persists?

Also, I have a character from another fandom that was made loosely based off Goku near the end of the original Dragon Ball, and his haphazardly enthusiastic attitude toward fighting. This character would focus more on hand-to-hand combat than Ki manipulation, and would probably frown upon people who rely too much on their Ki—almost like Ki attacks are cheating in an otherwise fair fight. They'd probably fill more of a side-character role, like Piccolo in early-mid Z. That's likely what I'd be bringing to the table if I were to join~

And I'm curious about the number of active players you're planning on keeping, also. You mention toward the beginning of this thread that you want to keep the number small, but you also mentioned today that you'll always be open. Just curious on whether your opinion has changed, or if you're just that far from the number of people you'd ideally have that you don't foresee the need to close your doors any time soon. Also, while we're on the topic, how many active players are there here?

And, finally, I'm so sorry for such a long post and so many questions—I know that can be annoying as a GM. I'm just really picky about what I join. I strongly prefer Fandom and Dice RPs to anything else, and those also happen to be both the most specific (so many fandom RPs, so few fandoms I'm actually interested in) and the hardest to keep from stagnating (such low interest in the fandoms I'm interested in, like DBZ). It's just so hard to find something worth sticking around for nowadays, you know? All the DBZ, Star Wars and Pokemon RPs are usually short-lived and filled with shitty characters and lacking in any form of plot.

And that's my life story, basically. Sorry again for such a long post. At the very least, I can guarantee my IC posts will be long too!

 

[The Black Knight]

You wrote a long post and I have a short answer for you because you already answered yourself. This game moves at our pace, so if you know you won't like that then this isn't the game for you. I said we're always open because I do not expect to approve too many characters. DBZ games attract more OP Mary Sues than acceptable concepts.

 

[Jz-ahn]

When you say game, you do mean roleplay right? Or is this like, an actual game?

 

[RedtheRoyalGuard]

I'm kinda nervous about joining and about the Saiyan Planet...could my OC still be from Planet Vegeta or what is the planet name for the Saiyans?

 

[Jz-ahn]

ignore my last statement-
anywho, I'd like to run my oc by you
just a brief explanation but
my oc is from a planet much like earth, with being extremely similar to earth but with their culture focused around a sort of edo period japan mixed with advanced tech and science, etc etc
the race he's apart of is pretty much just like humans except for their adaption abilities
My oc is a swordsman who leaves the planet to find the demon that rampaged the planet a few years ago and killed his brother
and... that's pretty much it

 

[The Black Knight]

Yes. It's still called Planet Vegeta, but it wasn't destroyed.

I won't be accepting any made-up races. If I accepted made-up races, then this wouldn't be DBZ but a Sci-Fi game. Only races from the manga or show.

ight then how about they're still human? I just dont want it to be on earth cus earth in dbz holds too modern or more so too futuristic of a world than what Im envisioning
also on that not if custom races arent allowed, just how much is allowed to be custom?

 

[The Black Knight]

You can only customize the races already in the series. I'm not allowing futuristic technology beyond what Earth or any of the other alien races are capable of because that is basically DBZ's technology level. So if you're trying to exceed that, then I'm not going to permit it.

 

[Jz-ahn]

Oh no no, I'm not tryna go beyond it, im tryna revert it. I'm saying the tech is too advanced for what im imagining for my character. Like they wouldn't be used to space pods and phones and stuff like that
My mind isnt even really on tech, it's more so on techniques and the use of ki

 

[The Black Knight]

On Earth, if you ever watched Dragon Ball, there are cultures that are still so rural that they have never seen modern technology.

The culture where my OC grew up in, is one of those bumpkin cultures who do not have such advanced technology.

 

[Jz-ahn]

I watched Dragon ball og like ten years ago so I honestly dont remember anything from it, but if thats the case then I'm down for that

Although what about custom techniques and figthing schools/styles. I honestly doubt my oc is gonna use ki in the way anyone else does other than flying

 

[The Black Knight]

Yes. You can do that.

 

[Jz-ahn]

ight thank you

 

[Jz-ahn]

Oooh, last question
where are the mass of ocs rn? Are they like on earth, orhas the arcpulled them out to space?

 

[The Black Knight]

They are on Earth at my OC's village in the frozen, snowy north.
