Dragonball M: A DBZ RPG Sign-Up and Discussion Thread.

[Cleric of Hell’s Brigade]

Welcome to Dragonball Memory.



Long, long ago there were eighteen universes, and Lord Zeno ruled over them all. According to the Grand Priest, at some point, Lord Zeno destroyed six of them.


This is not true.


Lord Zeno did not destroy these universes, but instead sealed them away for reasons only he and the Grand Priest were ever aware of, instead spreading the tale that in a fit of anger he had destroyed them, using this as a warning to the surviving universes to mind themselves and beware his anger.


Our story takes place in one of these sealed away universes, Universe 15. It is here, on it's Earth, that our story begins (Universe 15 has no idea it's been sealed away, of course. Only it's God of Destruction and Supreme Kai know the truth. Maybe.). This is where we shall uncover the truth of why the universes were sealed away, and what the true fates of these universes are, for all is not what it seems, and even Lord Zeno does not know what lay in their future.

___________

Welcome! In this game you'll be playing denizens of Universe 15's Earth. You are free to play any race you wish (human, cyborg, alien, dealer's choice, just run it by me first if it's something original), and you'll all start off at a power level of 50. The game will level you up as you post and interact and fight, so not everyone will power up at the same rate. However, things won't ever get too far apart I'd imagine. The last one everyone was within a few thousand of each other as a reference.

Now, a few things. This Earth is pretty much the same as standard DB Earth, with a few exceptions. Capsule Corp exists (somewhat less a monopoly here), but is run by the Pants family instead. This Earth has a somewhat more advanced space program, so aliens living on Earth is more known/accepted. Magic exists, and you are more than welcome to play a magic user too, just don't expect to drop things like Pre-Crisis Fate or Classic Strange level stuff just yet. Also, please keep super powers/abilities in check. Things like Telepathy are allowed, but don't expect me to allow Charles Xavier type mental shut downs. If you have a question about a power/ability, just run it by me first.

Anyways, the next post will be the character sheet. Any questions you have, please feel free to post them after the character sheet is posted or PM me.

Style:

The Crimson Spirit of Bounteous Destruction

Originally, the Spirit of Bounteous Destruction was never designed for combat purposes. The lessons that were offered to Ishtar over the course of several thousands of years, are simply aspects of the "good", and the "bad" used as a means of balancing her nature while also teaching the blue-skinned Oni how to think, and be. In summary, it is simply a way of life. Yet over the course of those thousands of years, and thanks to a blending of instinct, and Ki/Magical energy; each lesson eventually manifested outwardly. While some of the manifestations were/are useful for protection, and combat, this left Ishtar at a disadvantage until recently. Thanks to the guidance and training of Sarada however; the Oni has been given a strong foundation in attack, defense thanks to the Style of the Crimson Fist. Additional training at the hands of Tasure (refinement), and two months worth of sparring with Asha'rah, allowed Ishtar to build upon the foundation offered by Crimson Fist and make the style her own. Now known as the Crimson Spirit of Bounteous Destruction, Ishtar's way of live has been supplemented by the newfound martial knowledge, allowing her to attack, parry, counter, and capitalize on openings offered by her opponents to deliver massive damage with precise timing and minimal movement; creating a unique fighting style known only by one.

Name: "Ishtar"
Race/Species: Oni
Age: Early 30's (based on appearance)
Height/Weight: 6'4", 90kg
Power Level: 50
Style: Duality- The Twelve Sparks
Techniques:
Aša (Asha) Vahišta - "Truth, as guided by radiant fire." - Ishtar's chi speaks the truth of her intent. Manifesting radiant flame it coats her extremities, enhancing the strength of her blows (generally the horns, hands, elbows, knees, and fists).
Xšaθra (Kshatra) Vairya - "... of the hardest stone; and of metals and crystals." - Ishtar has 'found' herself in the form of a broken, and well-used, longsword. Channeling her chi, Ishtar can "reforge" the blade and use it as an extension of herself.
(Spənta) Armaiti - "... of Mother Nature, and the stones beneath your feet." - Ishtar's body is as the Earth beneath her feet. Using this connection to the "Mother", Ishtar grounds herself, bolstering her defenses, and improving her ability to withstand punishment.
Vohu Manah (Vōhu-Mánāh) - "... of the kinship of animals, and of cattle in particular." - By diverting her body's chi into three specific areas (legs, and her horns), Ishtar performs a devastating close-range attack designed to penetrate the defenses- and possibly the bodies- of her enemies.
Haurvatat - "... of the waters; and of the wholeness provided by its sustenance." - Ishtar draws her daily sustenance from the energies provided by water.
Ameretat - "... and finally, of plant life; and of the immortality provided by its sustenance." - By actively drawing upon plant life, Ishtar can amplify the strength of a single action, or attack that relies up on her chi.

Items:
x1 Broken Sword
Music Player (iPod/android equivalent)
Special/Racial Traits: Transformation, Magic, Conversational Telepathy
History: "In the beginning, there was Time; and to Time was born twin sons. The Lord of Wisdom, and the Spirit of Destruction..."
"A simple existence. Endless years of balancing ones duality. I longed for something more."
Other:
Her name is taken from the Mesopotamian Goddess of the same.
Her style and techniques are centered loosely around the religion of Zoroastrianism.
Enjoys eating, though does not specifically need to.

Looks good.

Being an Oni, upon closer look, you wouldn't be from the Demon Realm. You would be from King Yemma's place or HFIL, so you know. It shouldn't change anything, really, but just so you are aware.

So Ishtar is a a six foot, horned demon with a penchant for headbutts. And...surprisingly shy? That's what I'm getting from her picture. 90kg is light for anyone that tall, and she doesn't appear thinly built.

Her style's name begins with 'duality'. What sort of duality is involved?

Ishtar's history section, like Asha'rah's, doesn't reveal her full backstory. Instead, a vague outline of her story is told in parable, and Ishtar's duality is once again reinforced. You seem to have a theme going here, and I'm curious to find out how you develop her.

• +2 (Post pre-Base Infiltration/Tournament Activities)
• +1 (Post Base Infiltration & Tournament / Pre-Timeskip)

For a total of 11.

Wow, talk about a blast from the past. Created on of my favorite characters in the Neo-Dragon Ball RPG from so very long ago. Will have to think about this one.

What teenager doesn't have one nowadays?

Reimi (or something similar I think. Could transform into a magic wolf if I recall).

Close, Reimi is the right name, but it was her friend, Sharker's character Cecilly who was a wolf-girl. Reimi was the runaway assassin who's Ki manifested as mirror weapons.

175 cm (69 in) / 69 kg (152 lbs)

Power Level:
65

Style
Peregrine Sisters' Elemental Telekinesis
A psionic-based martial system intertwined with elemental magic. Kai's version allows him to modify his telekinetic abilities by attuning himself to air, electricity, and/or sound.

Techniques

Rudimentary Art (Useable)

Telekinesis
Kai can move physical entities without physical interaction through force of will.

Adept Arts (Useable)

Elemental Infusion
Kai attunes himself to an element, gaining the ability to telekinetically control it.

Internalization
Kai creates a telekinetic field around himself that enhances his physical capabilities.

Master Arts (Unusable)

Elemental Genesis
Kai produces the element he's currently attuned to, willing it to form anywhere within the range of his control over said element.

Elemental Manifestation
Kai internalizes the element he's currently attuned to, giving his tactile telekinesis additional properties based on said element.

Elemental Synthesis
Kai consumes the element he's currently attuned to, using the resulting energy to replenish lost ki or recover from sustained injuries.

Paragon Arts (Unusable, Locked)

Sky Sage
Kai grants others within his sphere of influence the use of his elemental abilities (Infusion, Genesis, Manifestation, Synthesis, etc.) and ki reserves.

Lightning Legion
Kai forms several simulacra of himself out of pure lightning which constitutes a hive mind independent of his control yet aligned to Kai's true interests.

Resonant Ronin
Kai forces himself to exceed his normal limits through aural-hypnotic resonance, greatly increasing his various capabilities for a brief period of time.

Sovereign Art (Unusable, Locked, Sealed)

Shin Kai
By partially nullifying/transcending the World Suppression Rosary, Kai can force his body to return, for a time, to its unrestricted state.

Special

Kaifuku (Recovery/Restoration)
Kai restores a physical entity, healing living entities or mending nonliving entities.

Kai Kai: Kizashi (World to World: Omen)
Kai teleports from one point to another without crossing the intervening distance. Unlike the normal Kai Kai, Kai must be able to sense the destination; in addition, while the transfer itself is instant, each use is preceeded by a charge time equal to the time required to cross the intervening distance (or its equivalent).

Kekkai (Barrier)
Kai creates a field of energy within range that restricts access to the enclosed/exclosed.

Items
World Suppression Rosary
A rosary composed of magatama and beads inexplicably yet irrevocably and indefinitely bound to Ronin Kai, acting as both seal and mask upon his true form.

History (Backstory)
Origins
Stolen away from Kaishin-sei before birth by the first Peregrine Sister, Kai was raised by her, trained by her, and eventually allowed to enter her thieving troupe. The Peregrine Sisters- as the group was then known- and he, the first (and only) Ronin Brother, then embarked on a grand thieving tour that lasted for myria- and would possibly have lasted for even longer, were it not for the wrath of one Kai should have never stolen from- one from which Kai hadn't even known he had stolen from.

You see, what Kai had stolen was the very heart of the one who had stole him, ages ago. That he hadn't noticed after millenia of hint after obvious hint was insulting and infuriating; that he still didn't seem to understand after she made her desires undeniably and unmistakably clear was unforgivable.

As punishment for being so impossibly dense, Kai had his divinity and true self taken from him, and was cursed to wander the worlds until he finally came to a proper understanding.

Current
Having lain dormant for millions of years, Kai has awoken- his latest slumber disturbed by a premonition that an eminent crisis was approaching. One which may very well require his true strength, which he once freely wielded but now could only feel sealed deep within him. However, as Kai even now was utterly incapable of understanding exactly why being able to see through such 'obviously' false feelings- and displays- of love for him would anger her so, he had no hope of convincing her to see reason. Knowing this, Kai set out, seeking a way to bypass the current restrictions placed upon his abilities. Only then, would he truly feel confident in facing what he felt was coming.

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

Ishtar's Origin Story:

"In the beginning, there was Time; and to Time was born twin sons. The Lord of Wisdom, and the Spirit of Destruction..."

It was a day like any before in Other World, and surely like any that were to come.

The Oni that would come to be known as Ishtar was tending to her favorite tree- the fruit was very good- as was her usual, when she spied a stranger spying her, and that too was standard. Other World was an interesting place, inhabited as it was by deities and dead, it was a fairly common occurrence to happen upon or be happened upon. This time, however ... was different. Dressed strangely, and with his its obscured by a hood that only revealed a swirling black nothingness, this watcher stood nearly twice her height. What caught her attention, however, were the two beautiful, milky-white wings; and the two obsidian horns that dwarfed her own.

The young Oni stared for a good while, such was her curiosity; and this stranger stared back. Eventually though, her curiosity waned and with a quick wave she turned away to resume her tending. Years later, she'd look back and laugh; but what happened next altered her life and the path that life was set on.

The Stranger approached and placed a hand on her shoulder. There was a brief exchange ... and then the Stranger made her see. Reaching out, the gloved hand touched the tree and in an instant it withered and died. Emotions like a wave stuck the girl, and with them came understanding. Pulling away from the hand, then, the Oni braced herself and pull all her sadness, and anger into a single thing.

A headbutt.

There was silence then. For ages and more. Then the Stranger started laughing.

"In all my years, that is a first." More silence, then; and with it came Zurvan's appraisal. When he finally spoke then, the path was locked, and the Oni who would be Ishtar was born.

"I would teach you of my sons, little one. Would you learn?"
