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

[Noldere]

I wasn't aware we were able to to begin with.

I know we were able to preboot, as long as no one else had posted in the same thread before you could get around to editing your post. At least, I was able to, anyway.

Also, fighting onboard a moving aircraft. What could possibly go wrong?

The final boss's name should totally be Murphy.

[Sion Reaver]

Is the sparring happening while the aircraft riding is happening? I'm kinda confused of what's even happening anymore so haven't posted

Yeah. I imagine it's similar to the aircraft used in the Imperfect Cell Saga, which had plenty of space for several passengers, in addition to Goku sleeping on the floor and ample head space so that even Tien could stand normally. This time, there's fewer of us, and even then, one is napping at the co-pilot's seat (I think).

Of course, given space constraints, it shouldn't be a regular bout anyway, but just upper-body motion with minimal footwork, all confined in a 10ft x 10ft cabin.

Edit: Here's the interior of the plane, Capsule 576. Even if the aft of the plane is just a foot or two behind Chi-Chi and off-screen, it's still enough room for some h2h sparring without fancy footwork, speed, or dancing.

Name: Adam

Race/Species: Android

Age: 4

Height/Weight: Variable/700lbs

Appearance: Humanoid, made out of seamless silvery metal, but without strong definition or muscle tone, and slightly muted, as if always in the shade.

Power Level: 18,000

Style: Thouand Wounds Gear Style

Techniques:
Omnifunction Energy Matrix-The core of Adam's being, this energy matrix can absorb and process any type of energy. This provides it with a limited passive defense against harmful energy. It can also detect energy sources, the distance determined by the strength of the energy. It cannot pull energy into it from a distance, it must come in physical contact, and the matrix has an upper limit it can contain, but like the rest of Adam's body it grows stronger over time and as it adapts in response to stimuli.

Perfected Force Dynamo-The other half of Adam's core is the dynamo that channels and projects the energy the matrix contains. It allows it to control how much energy it expends, and of what type. Including heating/electrifying it's body, or offensive ki. However it must have this energy stored in it's matrix, the android does not generate it.

Nanofluidic Form-Adam's body is composed of organic mimicry cells, machines that emulate the function of a living organism. While it is not a liquid being like a Majin, and must maintain some simulacrum organs in order to live, it is highly malleable and can cause it's limbs to flow like water, it's torso to bend and flex bonelessly, form it's hands into blades, and cause spikes to emerge from it's dermal layer.

Electromagnetic Attraction Field-When Adam is injured, or chooses to separate part of itsself from the whole, he can realign himself back to his base state, even pulling pieces of his body from a short distance.

Paramagnetic Tether Beam-Adam has learned to project it's magnetic attraction field out from itself, and merge it with ambient gravitic energy from the planet, to create a semi-visible beam of energy it can use to move objects from a distance. It can manipulate anything it could move with one hand, even pulling itself to heavier or solidly anchored objects.

Piston-Driven Megaton Hammer-Adam can create isolated pockets inside himself where some of his matter can move freely, and accelerate those pieces with his attraction field, allowing him to create piston-like constructs inside his body he can accelerate beyond what mere momentum can accomplish, to greatly increase his impact force.

The Circle Screams-Gravity bends time, and Adam can pull gravity's force into itself. With a surge of power that disables it's Electromagnetic Attraction Field, and abilities derived from it, for 5 seconds, Adam can warp time around itself, giving it a split second of unimaginable speed.

Gear Catches Gear Defense-Adam can, instead of absorbing, catch and hold an offensive energy power. If it has enough internal stores, it can then redirect it away from himself, or hold it to slowly absorb it's entire force, rather than a trace as it does passively. Doing to requires it's full attention, it can neither move nor take other action while using this ability.

Transitory Invulnerability Engine-Adam's being was infused with new, exotic materials by Kami, strengthening it's body, but in times of need it can deintegrate that material and cover it's outer surface with it, exponentially increasing it's defense for a few seconds.

Toroidal Shockwave Catalyst-A new secondary system, this allows Adam to passively project energy through small crystalline protrusions on it's surface, augmenting a physical assault with arcs and blasts of energy with no need for conscious thought on it's part, letting Adam devote all of it's attention to physical combat.

All-Inclusive Targeting Calculations-Adam's power to warp time has expanded to it's senses, with this system active it can project predictive paths that enemies might take, tactics they might use and attacks they employ. The more it fights a specific enemy, the more focused these projections become, until it can anticipate their actions nearly perfectly.

Personal Gravity Manipulation Apparatus
It has always been Adam's nature to take in ambient energy, but some forms have proven elusive. No more. Now, as Adam is bathed constantly by the force of gravity, it has made that force it's own. Adam can not only fly by altering gravity's effect on itself, he can change the effect of gravity on things in it's vicinity, changing it's direction and intensity.

Shock and Awe Cannonade Delivery
Adam's ability to project energy is enhanced. All nonphysical attacks it uses are passively augmented, including those of Toroidal Shockwave Catalyst, increasing their power three times over at the cost of 10% greater energy expended.

Impeneterable Repulsor Field
Adam can create a barrier of energy around itself, protecting it from harm. The shield's effectiveness is increased by Shock and Awe Cannonade Delivery, but prevents the use of Toroidal Shockwave Catalyst.

Special:
Adam can take any shape it wishes, provided it does not interfere with it's (limited) organ requirements, though it cannot change color or mass. It could for example take the shape of an animal, but not, say a massive spider web.
Insatiable curiosity.
Naive.


History:
Constructed to be as much a work of art as an achievement of science, Adam is the pet project of a retired Capsule scientist, who's ideas were deemed not cost effective. What profit was there in an android that could not be mass produced? But the scientist persevered, spending his own money and free time sculpting Adam's components, weaving copper into DNA strands, forging titanium cell membranes, creating a being that, in his eyes, would be an achievement of art and artifice. He completed his work shortly before passing, but lived long enough to see his dream open it's eyes and begin to explore the world around it.

Going out into the world, Adam was insatiable, learning everything it could. However, it did not take long before it learned how dangerous the world can be, and that some beings in it had a powerful urge to test themselves in combat. Subduing one of them, Adam questioned their motives and discovered martial arts. A rich, complex culture devoted to self mastery and improvement, always testing your limits. It seemed like the natural continuation of it's creator's work.

Thousand Wounds Gear style

Less a martial art that a combat philosophy, Thousand Wounds Gear was created by Adam to make maximum use of his unique physiology. No being with a fixed physical form can make use of it. The ideal combat form is not one of singular strikes or combinations, but of making numerous, simultaneous attacks that the enemy cannot hope to defend himself against. A single strike can be deflected and avoided, no matter how mighty. A blow that does not land might as well never have been attempted. But what is one strike, compared to a thousand blades seeking your heart, your throat, your eyes? How long can you defend against a storm of razors? Each cut wears you down, until pain and blood loss erodes your ability to fight. It is not one strike that wins, but the swarm. To summarize, "You have four limbs, I have a thousand, and they are all needles and razors the moment I decide they are. I am endless, I will make your strength my own and erode you like sand in the rising tide."

[Cthulhu_of_R'lyeh]

So.

Resistant to and absorbs all kinds of attacks and has multiple forms of energy projection?

[Monstrous Bird of Qin, Ou Ki]

Totoma: To be fair, I said it may or may not work.

And wait, has Totoma even said his name?

I seriously can't remember.

...

Eh, could just chalk it up to him overhearing Karine say it or something, if he hasn't.

Let's go with that.

And not that Jack lifted Tail-Lad's wallet, and put it back after remembering he doesn't do that anymore.

Because that definitely did not happen.

[Monstrous Bird of Qin, Ou Ki]

Go for the eyes, Jack, go for the eeeeeeeyeeees.

[IGee]

I'll clean this up up a bit more, add additional information, and change the tags as necessitated in the future. Felt the need to partition this section off into this separate post to make room for more story related elements in the profile proper.

TECHNIQUES
A full list and breakdown of techniques Ajna can currently use, and some he can't.

Genbudo techniques are those created by the monks of the Si Xiang School, while Ajnaryu techniques
are those Ajna made himself, bearing his own name given to him by Gaku, the abbot who raised him at the Palace.
Those without either are considered to have originated elsewhere.

Genbudo: Snapper
An adjustable two hit combo. An uppercut followed by an overhand blow performed with or without the aid of ki.
It can be reversed, with the overhand coming first. If the uppercut hits last it's a launcher type attack, while if the
overhead blow finishing it sends the opponent to the ground. When he performs it Ajna imagines a monstrous turtle
replacing his body, golden eyes flaring as it snaps its beak shut savagely on its prey.

Ajnaryu: Batteringshell
A technique used to get close to an opponent while under heavy assault. Utilizing a strong guard with both hands
placed in front of the face, and relying heavily on evasive body movement and footwork, the user presses to the
inside of the opponent's opponent's reach to strike at their body. It can also be used to pressure a desperate or
retreating enemy. A technique improvised by Ajna himself to adapt to his own short reach.

Genbudo: Crystal Ball
Often referred to simply as his "seeing snake" by Ajna himself, it is a mostly translucent ki drone in the form of a
small harmless spiritball. Ajna transfers his own senses to it while in a deep meditative state, creating a sort of
remote viewing with the spiritball as the camera and his right or left eye as the receiver. At the moment he can
only enter this state for about three hours before his concentration invariably break.

The spirit ball is created by drawing ki from the brain through the eye he plans to use as the receiver and compressing
it into a sphere in his palm. Once released, it'd controlled by using the receiver to see and the hand to guide it as
one would a normal Spirit Ball. It's capable of transmitting audio to the ear on the side of the head as the eye being
used.

When it moves, the green ki ball leaves a very faint golden trail that looks very much like a snake tail.

[LOCKED] Spirit Ball
A basic controllable energy sphere technique taught to Genbudoka, it serves as a foundation to many others. The user
draws ki into the palm, concentrating it into an energy sphere that can be controlled with direction from its hand of origin.

It can be used to attack with physical force by impacting its target with great force, but its true damage is only delivered
when it is directed to explode.

[LOCKED] SUPER SPIRIT BALL VARIANT:

A larger variety of Spirit Ball that shares all the Basic commands of its smaller brother, but makes more

efficient use of the Advanced commands. It can be split into 3 normal sized Spirit Balls.

Spirit Ball Commands & Associated Gestures
Basic Spirit Ball Command Techniques
Basic Gestures: directional (hand points index and middle finger in the direction it should travel), explode (clenched fist),
[LOCKED] bullet (index and middle finger held as for direction, then jabs)

Directional: self explanatory.
Explode: self explanatory.
[LOCKED] Bullet: dramatically speeds the ball up briefly

[ALL LOCKED] Advanced Spirit Ball Command Techniques
Advanced Gestures: corkscrew (index finger and middle finger pointing like when used for direction, then spins), flashbang
(hand held open, fingers fanned out)

Corkscrew: adds piercing property
Flashbang: causes it to explode in a disorienting flash of light and sound
Split: self explanatory. Number of fingers decides split, two minimum.


[LOCKED] Forbidden Art - Genbudo: Spirit Torsion Maul
An attack created by one of the early Genbudoka. She was a woman who sought an ultimate offense and was inspired
by the legend of the first master and and his technique, the Ascending Dragon. Her mastery of the Spirit Ball known
far and wide, she became known for her advancement of her concept of the attack.

She did not become known for her ultimate offense, a technique decreed Forbidden by its creator when she became
Grandmaster. Concentrating far more ki into the palm than is usual for a Spirit Ball, it instead foregoes the remote
Command properties for pure staying power by compressing it all into a vortex of incredibly dense energy.

Held in the palm of the hand, the Torsion Maul is used as a devastating short range weapon that shreds through anything
it hits. Its true power, though, is only shown when its energy is released upon impact creating a blast directed out from
the hand that can vaporize anything near it and blow away anything within reach. It cannot, however, leave the palm of
the hand and is thus limited by its range and the user's ability to hit an opponent.

It takes the appearance of an energy orb about the size of a softball made of jade, with a tiny pinprick of gold at its center
that serves as its core. The whirlwind of energy at its center, that tiny fleck of yellow sounds like the whine of chainsaw
when stoked with more ki and shines bright like a star, expanding and collapsing wildly within the larger sphere.

[Ajna was in the middle of learning this technique when his tutelage ended. He will have to begin all over again, a long and arduous process.]

[The Chou Lives]

The spar is not that distarous. It’s on auto pilot and no super powers/ upper power level. Just hand and foootbwork.

[Noldere]

Genbudo:Snapper and Ajnaryu: Batteringshell really just seem like things anyone can do, rather than actual techniques.

[IGee]

You know what, you're right. I'mma go add more fancy descriptions to it now.

[Ptrvc]

Go for the eyes, Jack, go for the eeeeeeeyeeees.

*inexplicable hamster squeaking*

Is Sarada truly evil enough to warrant such a righteous butt-kicking?

[rhyvurg]

So.

Resistant to and absorbs all kinds of attacks and has multiple forms of energy projection?

Yes, but the undeveloped system can only absorb less than 10% of the energy directed at it, and it can only project energy it's already absorbed.

Extremely off-topic, but I was curious about something and, lo and behold, the Wikicadia still exists in its horrible, outdated glory.
