The Timeline/Story of the Room:
The room will take place in an alternate reality. Nothing will have happened as it did in the shows or movies. Basically in this timeline, Frieza was destroyed by his brother Kooler before he could wipe out the planet of Vegeta. In doing so, the Saiyajins had time to develop and grow more powerful, and gather more allies. In the end they beat back the Friezurian race, sending the changling race away and back to the depths of their own part of the universe.
However the Saiyajins were still, due to their arrogance, defeated and scattered, their home world in ruins and now controlled by a race never before seen, and known only as the Xan'Tala. This race of shape changers appeared one day and conquered the entire world of Vegeta, and exiled the Saiyajins they didn’t kill to become Nomads, forever banished from their own world.
The Nemekians, never having lost their original home world, developed into explorers, and have since colonized many new worlds, and are among the most powerful of all races. They are still peaceful as they have always been known to be, but now they have a larger number of warriors to protect and defend their people.
Earth and its in people have met many newcomers, Saiyajins, Namekians, and other new races. Many, like the Saiyajins come for the simple fact they are welcome nowhere else, and others because the human race is of interest to them. Goku was still sent to earth by his father, and did train with Master Roshi. The other Z fighters still existed here on this earth, and have since moved on to Other World and begun training with the Kia's there, or have moved on to other worlds on pilgrimages and/or for other unknown reasons. Many of their teachings and fighting styles are still taught to this day.
(OOC Note: This is all a simple, and quick summary of what the universe is like. I made this as simple and yet different as I could without making the room incredibly strict and limited. There are still rules and challenges to playing, but I feel I have left enough room for player made Storylines to occur and be had while still giving people an idea of the history of this DBZ reality.)
Techniques:
Each character will be given a set number of Techniques to begin with, and this will vary depending upon the race of the character.
Human - 5
Namekian - 3
Half-Saiyajin - 2
Saiyajin – 2
Changling - 2
Other - Ask Staff
Tech Points:
Tech points will be awarded by GDM only. Tech points are what people earn and use to learn new techniques or master ones they already know. There is a list of available techs already written up. Ask GDM for it at any time.
Saiyajins:
There will be a limited number of Saiyajin blooded characters as they are still a dieing race even with the timeline of this RP. Players will roll for the right to play a Saiyajin with a D10, and on a roll of a 1 or 2 they will be given a Saiyajin Blooded character.
Race/PL:
Human - 1,000
Namekian - 2,000
Half-Saiyajin - 4,000
Saiyajin - 5,000
Changling – 5,000
Other - Ask Staff
Gaining Power:
Gaining power can be done in many ways; the ones most frequently used are sparing and plot fights. Sparing is done between two or more people at a time. It is a way to gain power that is not deadly and is the most used way. To get a gain you must have landed a hit on your opponent. If there is a problem with someone never taking hits, bring your concerns to a staff member.
Specialized Training:
Specialized Training is anything from: Heightened Gravity Training, King Kai, Time and Space, or The Pendulum Room. The gain from each one will be developed on how difficult the training actually is. (All will not be available for some time)
Weighted Clothing:
Use of weighted clothing increases the PL of the character by 300 points per month of use. The use of weighted clothing also drags down the PL of the character in a fight by 500 points. However, the character can take the clothing off if it needs the extra boost in PL.
Saiyajin Armor:
Use of Saiyajin Armor increases the PL of the character by 500 points per month of use. The use of Saiyajin Armor also drags down the PL of the character in a fight by 800 points. However, the character can take the clothing off if it needs the extra boost in PL. The Saiyajin Armor also allows a minor amount of protection against Ki, and as such, fighters wearing Saiyajin Armor are able to take weak Ki Blasts (Max PL of 1000) and shrug them off where others would not.
Self-Training:
Training and working out will gain you 100 Pl a week, but these workouts and training must be solo played out in the room.
To keep people from gaining too much power too quickly, you can gain no more then 1K with each character per day to a total of 5k per week.
PL Gain:
To calculate your gain:
Step 1 - Take HALF of your PL and divide it by your opponents PL.
Step 2 - Take the number you obtained and multiply it by the correct multiplier.
Step 3 - The LOWEST gain is the gain for both fighters.
Example:
Your PL: 4,000
Opponents PL: 5,000
2000/5000 = 0.4
0.4*1000 = 400
so 400 would be your gain
PL: Multiplier
Below 100,000 x1000
100,000 - 200,000 x2000
200,000 - 300,000 x3000
300,000 - 400,000 x4000
400,000 - 500,000 x5000
500,000 - 600,000 x6000
600,000 - 700,000 x7000
700,000 - 800,000 x8000
800,000 - 900,000 x9000
900,000 - 1,000,000 x10,000
Above 1,000,000!
1,000,000 - 5,000,000 x11,000
5,000,000 - 10,000,000 x12,000
10,000,000 - 15,000,000 x13,000
15,000,000 - 20,000,000 x14,000
20,000,000 - 25,000,000 x15,000
Above 50,000,000!
50,000,000 - 100,000,000 x20,000
100,000,000 - 150,000,000 x21,000
And so on. Other multipliers will be added when needed.
Near Fatal Multipliers:
If a Character is reduced to barely an inch of their life (this should rarely happen) they are Near Fatal and use the alternate NF multiplier from the table below. Any character that hits this level of health will spend 1 IRL week inactive as they heal.
(Note this doesn’t apply to characters that receive a Senzu Bean or are healed with Magic.)
PL: Multiplier
Below 100,000: x2000
100,000 - 200,000: x3000
200,000 - 300,000: x4000
And so on, adding an extra x1000 above normal for every hundred thousand PL....
