Saiyan Biology
As major players in the RP and Dragon Ball as a whole, I suppose its best we discuss some things about Saiyans. If they are not the strongest Warriors in the Galaxy, they are the species most adpt at going to war. As such, they have certain powers and abilities that need to be discussed.
Ozaru: Saiyans who have tails are able to transform into Giant monkeys. Most Saiyan adults have trained how to control themselves at least to some extent in this form.
Becoming an Ozaru requires either the full moon or the Power Ball technique. It is a physically taxing transformation and after it the Saiyan will become exhausted.
During the Transformation, however, their power level is doubled and their CS increases to reflect the change in power to represent the increased difficulty in fighting a 100ft tall, Ki beam breathing monkey.
Zenkai Saiyans who manage to recover after nearly dying in battle grow stronger. a Saiyan Character who does this gains a 2,500 point increase in their max Power Level. They lose this ability once they are capable of the Super Saiyan Transformation. However, due to the possibility of this being abused, IT WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED. Any Increase in PL
must meet Moderator approval.
Super Saiyan To become a Super Saiyan, a Saiyan character needs to have a Combat Strength (
CS) of 11 at minimum. Furthermore, they need the proper focus or trigger to set off the transformation. The transformation comes in response to a need, not a desire, and stems from intense rage resulting from indignation or frustration. MODERATOR PERMISSION IS REQUIRED BEFORE ACHIEVING SUPER SAIYAN. Once the Super Saiyan state is achieved, then several changes occur to the Saiyan in question.
While transformed, their Power Level (PL) is multiplied by 5, their Combat Strength increasing proportionally to this new found strength. Once achieving the Super Saiyan transformation,
Saiyans no longer gain benefits from Zenkai and must train in order to improve themselves further. For the moment, no further transformations beyond Super Saiyan 1 are allowed. Half breed Super Saiyans, having better control of their emotions, are capable of becoming Super Saiyans quicker than normal Saiyans, but until I find a way to balance this ability so it isn't abused,
Half Saiyans must meet all the prerequisites normal Saiyans need to transform.
Namek Biology
If the Saiyans are the most important and famous Alien Species in Dragon Ball, then the Namekians certainly dominate second place. Hell we wouldn't even have Dragon Ball without the Namekians, and its high time I give some information on how they're handled in the RP. Like Saiyans, they tend to have a few unique abilities.
Regeneration As long as they have a functioning brain, Namekians can heal themselves in battle and even regenerate limbs. However, this is a considerable strain on their stamina and they can not keep doing it in the middle of battle. Once per fight, a Namekian can either regenerate half the damage they had taken in battle or regrow a limb they had lost, but they must be conscious to do it.
Water Consumption Namekians only need water to survive, but they are capable of eating food, and, if we use Piccolo as an example, it actually seems to help them grow stronger.
Castes Namekians as we know them now belong to either the
Mystic or
Warrior castes. Mystics have the ability to heal and create objects like clothes and weapons out of thin air, while Warriors gain the ability to stretch their arms and shoot electricity from their antenna. Keep this in mind when making Characters.
Fusion and Fission Namekians can fuse into one being, the resulting being sharing the memories, strengths, and powers of both halves. Both parties must settle on a body to use and both must be willing to fuse. Once fused, the host adds the power level of their absorbed partner to their own and gain that fighter's techniques. While it is relatively easy for Namekians to fuse together, it is something altogether for them to split. It takes considerable effort and time, and the resulting Namekians split the power level of the being they origionate from while sharing all the same techniques and memories, though they still are two separate individuals. Furthermore, if one of the divided Namekians dies, so does his twin.
Training
Training is a staple of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Fighters frequently have to work their asses off to get better in order to win tournaments and battle galactic evils. In order for a fighter to get better, he must train. In game terms, a player must make their Character train through a series of posts.
For each quality post of training, a Character gets an increase to their PL equivalent to 100. Note however that training is more than just lazily trading blows with an opponent and sparing. If all you do is spar, then you will not improve. You must exercise, hone reflexes, practice your moves through repetition, and strain both your muscles and your mind. Superior training methods, such as training under an acknowledged Martial Arts Master, grant a 200 bonus per post, but such things require Moderator approval.
