Ok....I just suddenly noticed a bit of a plot hole in regards to established Dragon Ball cannon but it's something we can work with. Twice now Basawe has used a POWER BALL in front of Shitagi. Shitagi HAS A TAIL.

Do we see what I'm getting at?

According to what's established Shitagi should have transformed into an Ozaru. However seeing that Earth has no moon and he's now looked at a Power Ball twice I'd like to propose this suggestion: if a Saiyan has less than 50% Saiyan blood then even if they have a tail they cannot transform into an Ozaru.

As for Retasu on the other hand who is still in that time chamber......

[Asilynne]

You actually may have given me an idea for a post Rudy lol

[Blademaster]

I never noticed the mention of a tail in Shitagi's profile. I assumed that he, like Goten and Trunks, had his removed at birth, or perhaps didn't have one at all, like Pan... My mistake.

Fortunately, I've put enough unhealthily excessive thought into Basawe's character to clarify why Shitagi didn't change:

The Power Ball simply wasn't strong enough.

Remember, in order to become an Oozaru, a Saiyan has to not just look at a Moon/Power Ball; they have to look at it long enough to absorb 17 million units of Blutz energy. This can be done very quickly when a Moon is present or when the Power Ball's user is someone powerful/ someonewho transforms frequently, like Vegeta. In these cases, millions of units of energy are probably put out per second, allowing for a quick transformation that takes a couple of seconds at most to 'activate' (pupil dilation, increased heartbeat, etc.).

Basawe, however, is a weak Saiyan, who has never transformed into a true Oozaru and has only taken in Blutz energy as few as two times in his life (his first transformation on planet Ninjin, and this time in the HBTC). During his transformation in the Chamber, it took him a good 20 seconds to transform. Calculated, that means his Power Ball was barely putting out 850,000 Blutz waves per second.

tl;dr: Shitagi simply didn't look at it long enough to absorb the amount of energy required to bring on the change.

It's Saiyan Science, bitches!

[Asilynne]

Um, Rudy, in regards to your last post, Retasu made sure no one saw her access other areas of Gamma's programming, and only Elfs character even knew Gamma had the ability to track dragonballs. Retasu didn't even know for sure until she went looking specifically for a program that could do that. She only suspected for awhile he had that ability after observing the fact that he moved with a sense of purpose towards a possible dragonball, and that was after Shitagi and the others had already headed off towards Capsule Corp to pick up their dragon radar. So Shitagi 'somehow' knowing exactly what Retasu did without having been a part of observing anything that could have led him to that conclusion is sorta meta-gaming.

HOWEVER I can work with it, so don't bother changing it. Just prepare for Shitagi to be very embarrassed

[Master Rudy]

Meta-gaming isn't my goal here. That being said even when I made the original post way back in the original RPG I figured that with enough time and pieces of the puzzle put together that someone in the Briefs family would put two and two together and get a sense of what Retasu was doing (especially considering they'd have the most knowledge of the Dragon Radar and the tech behind it). Admittedly perhaps I pushed with it a bit too aggresively. However after months of nothing I'm trying to do what I can to get plot threads active and moving so that folks have a reason to post.

If you can work with it they I'll leave it as it. However in the future I'll try not to put out too much control.

[Bear]

she dropped the F bomb!

[Blademaster]

Welp, I'm bored. I think it's time to make things a bit more interesting.

[Kuro Espeon]

Damn, you posted just before I did, lol. Oh well, I didn't really have to change anything. POSTING POWER!

[Blademaster]

Just a quick FYI:

The Kwalis' resilience, incidentally, is a result of Paradox being too lazy to edit his post after I told him Kamo was pretty much dead. Didn't wanna take Heald's victory away from him or anything (Even though he's never fucking here anyway.), so I'm just clarifying that in case anybody is wondering how Kamo is fighting with three broken limbs and a snapped NECK.

[Heald]

Well this looks like a good enough time for Zaito to interfere (and a good opportunity for me to move the story along). I gotta go to work but I'll try to knock out a post when I get home, or at some point over the weekend.

[Kuro Espeon]

Oh shit... Hmmm...need me to edit my post? I don't mind.

[Blademaster]

If you'd like.

[Kuro Espeon]

Fixed. There's only one Kwali now, lol. Sorry about that, it had been so long since I had read Zaito's fight with Kamo (back in the old thread) that I forgot how badly he had been trashed. So I just went with MoP's post, lol. But anyway, it should be more accurate now.

[Blademaster]

Aaaaaand the Kwalis are done for. Kados is not gonna last long, which means Blaque and Whyte are TOTALLY fucked (I never liked them, anyway.)... Do as you wish with them all. Have kados get pounded, Victoria engage Rothax, the rest of Rothax's soldiers (all 3 of them) show up... Go nuts.

However, nobody gets to beat up Chita yet. Her power level isn't the only thing that separates her from the rest of Rothax's grunts; she also has extensively trained in what could be surmised as a reverse Hyperbolic Time Chamber, which is why she appears facially aged: Basically, she trained in an environment for many years where everything seemed to be stuck in perpetual fast-forward, before returning to a normal time dilation. The result of this is not so much super-speed, but rather when she concentrates, everything around her seems to slow to a crawl. Put even more simply, Chita wins her fights by turning them all into quick-time events and reacting appropriately.

[Heald]

You're also forgetting Shimuto, who I have something rather interesting lined up for.

[Asilynne]

*rubs forehead tiredly* Rudy.....while I appreciate you wanting to create interesting elements of plot (albeit from thin air) and I also realise its been a long while since the beginning of the RPG so you may have forgotten my sign up and first post, but the whole thing with the secret message center and the Ninjin army on its way as we speak has got to go.

Back in my sign up I said that Ninjin wouldn't notice Retasu's absence for at least a year: "To protect her family from King Ninjins wrath after she was gone, she left a transmission for him saying she had gone off to claim a few more planets for the Saiyan Empire as a wedding gift, and would be back within the year. "

If something changed you would have to come up with a very good reason of why and how, which would be rather difficult since the second thing is in my first post Retasu makes it a point to say how in the dark she is about the planet King Vegeta lives on, since they DIDN'T HAVE CONTACT IN HUNDREDS OF YEARS.

"It had been for a little over a month, as I traveled away from my home planet towards the planet called Earth. I had instructed the computer to locate the planet with the highest concentration of Saiyans besides Planet Vegeta itself."

She didn't even know what planet he was on until she went looking for him, let alone know anything about the planet as if they had contact.

" I instructed the computer to locate an area with a high population of higher power levels, logically this would be the area where the most saiyans. The King of the planet (which would of course be Prince Vegetas offspring) would obviously want to live in the largest saiyan controlled city. Then, when the computer located this area, I instructed it to find something having the dimensions of a landing pad. It didnt take long to find one, but on this planet the landing pads were square instead of round. I found this odd but then, it was to be expected. I doubted this would be the last of the oddities I found.
Taking a deep breath, I let it out slowly, calming myself and preparing the words I would say when I found the offspring of Prince Vegeta. I would need to balance between respect and dignity, for if I showed too much of my excitement on meeting him it might come off as too much of a weakness."

She expected the Saiyans to have taken over this planet and was surprised to see how different everything was from her expectations. Not the attitude of one who had access to a secret message center connection between Earth and Planet Vegeta which the resistance members have access to.

Retasu is a resistance member in a prominent resistance family. There is no way they would let Retasu go off to the planet where King Vegeta lived without knowing anything about the planet or even what the planet was CALLED.

I'm not trying to be mean or picky, and normally I would let stuff go and find a way to work it into my next post so that its not a mistake. But this fucks with the basic principals of my character and her already established past. It was the main point of her development to have no idea what to expect from Earth and its saiyans, because it came as a great shock to her but will eventually show her that saiyans can follow a different path since the King she respected did so.

Theres nothing in Retasu's past that would prevent Vegeta from choosing Shitagi for an heir, so you can leave that, but from now on talk to me regardless of how awkward that is if your post so heavily involves the saiyans of Planet Vegeta. And don't be so eager to force the plot to give you things that will "make our characters respect each other". Stories flow better when you don't have to force plot developments like that.

If you have any questions or want to discuss this to figure out how to fix it let me knw, I don't mind helping work it out so that it fits with everything.

[Kuro Espeon]

[Insert long and well-thought out rant here]

Oh snap.

I'll be posting again soon to finish off Kados. Kura's gonna have fun with him...nyuk nyuk nyuk.... >:3 I gotta dust off my action-writing skills. *cracks knuckles*

[Master Rudy]

Eh....after looking back over my last post in paticular I'll admit that it's been so long since I've actively roleplayed that I'm doing a bit too much and trying too hard. This RPG in paticular has me wanting to see things get done due to the fact that I've always enjoyed the story behind Dragon Ball and the fact that it's always had long stretches of inactivity. I'll also admit that I've kinda skimmed things over instead of fully reading things as I wrote that last post in paticular as it was late at night. I've been busy with my personal life and now that this is active again when I do get around to posting I feel like if I don't get something out at that moment I'll have to wait a few days and potentially lose a good idea I had if something sidetracks me. Writer's block is a big killer for me. Don't laugh but to get back into the feel of writing I've actually been using the story creator on Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 and letting my friends play my story......as of late I'm stuck on where to go next as each additional show/match and branching option can make things far more complex. Needless to say they aren't happy that I'm three shows into the story and almost to the Royal Rumble during a bout of writer's block

Anyway it did help me focus on writing a bit again by letting me focus on somehthing a bit easier. However I'm still finding myself trying to rush things on this end as I don't like losing a good idea. I'm sure you of all people remember how many times I've had a decent idea shot down because someone beat me to the punch on a post and effectively forced me into having to come up with something entirely different ^_^()

Sorry about all that Bran......I'll get it trimmed down in a way that keeps the general idea behind what I wanted to do with that. The main change will be cutting out Retasu from that last post with a few other edits as well.

[Master Rudy]

Ok....edited post is now up. It should work out a little better actually not to mention leave things open ended so anyone in the HTC can pick up from there ^_~

[Blademaster]

You're also forgetting Shimuto, who I have something rather interesting lined up for.

Yeah, where the fuck is he, anyway? He just kinda dropped off the radar after the fight with Hammer and the first 2 Dragonballs landing in Rothax's possession.

And speaking of Shimuto, I'm just curious, but what does his name mean? I've tried looking it up via Japanese-English translators, and no results ever come back.

[Heald]

Shimuto was last seen handing a Dragonball to Rothax and then went off to round up any more...whether he has actually gone and done that is, well, debatable, but he will appear shortly to help develop the story. As for his name, well, I forgot where I got the name from.

I guess that's the rather abrupt end of the Kwalis, but I guess they were the small fry compared to what's coming now. I guess Kura will probably want to (try to) handle Chita (since she hasn't really got to fight yet, plus chick vs chick battles are made of awesome), so I guess the ball is in your court Blade.

[Blademaster]

Well, Blaque and Whyte are left, so... Awesome, I get to kill them AND introduce Chita! I am a happy Blade right now.

Will be posting within... a couple of hours, probably.

[Kuro Espeon]

Oooh, girl fight! Sexy. ;D

BTW, Blade, would you mind giving me a basic description of Chita and her fighting style? So I can make an accurate post? lol

[Master Rudy]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Everyone DIED!!!!

Well it makes sense in context.......

[Blademaster]

Not at all, Kura. Even I don't really have an idea of how Chita looks outside of a vague idea, and I have nothing as far as a fighting style goes aside from her special ability. Go nuts.

EDIT:

Shitagi....letting out a pained yell?

Not really how I ended things or what I had in mind at the end of my redone post. However I can work with that ^_~

...Actually, Rudy, I made that post about Shitagi yelling because he probably sense his mother being slaughtered by Rothax. I know that twins can sense each others' pain; I thought it might apply to parent-child relationships, too.

*shrug* It just seemed a logical progression to me, since the two of them have to have met by now. She left almost 40 minutes ago, and Rothax's sensors picked up on her in my last post from his POV, when he left to engage her. I didn't know what you were doing, but I figured mommy dearest getting skullfucked by Rothax would have diverted his attention long enough for one good "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!".

[Bear]

I think we need to micro-manage our own characters a bit less. Try to keep an open mind, and realize that nobody is ever going to play your character exactly as you would play it, because we did not create it. I could beef with some of the ways people have used my character but I try to just let it play out. Just makes the RPG run smoother and be more fun for all. Dunno, just my two cents :*

[Master Rudy]

Blade......you are a sick bastard.......



















Keep up the good work

[Blademaster]

No.

No.

No.

Blade......you are a sick bastard.......

Hahaha, of course I only kid when I say such things, Rudy.

Rothax can't skullfuck Victoria. He doesn't have a penis.

[Kuro Espeon]

Not at all, Kura. Even I don't really have an idea of how Chita looks outside of a vague idea, and I have nothing as far as a fighting style goes aside from her special ability. Go nuts.

So... her special ability is basically slowing down time, right? hm. Don't suppose I could get any hints on the weak points? You'll probably just let me suffer though, won't you?

[Master Rudy]

I get the sense that this'll be similar to fighting Guldo.....well similar in the fact that she can slow/percieve time differently. However it'll be different in the fact that she can actually fight

[Blademaster]

So... her special ability is basically slowing down time, right?

Hmph... I guess if you had to REALLY abridge it, then yes, you could put it that way.

Don't suppose I could get any hints on the weak points? You'll probably just let me suffer though, won't you?

Sorry. I'd help you, but upon further consideration, I decided that you're gonna be fucked for a little bit, for a few reasons.

1. As this Lounge has already made clear, catfights are a good thing.

2. Chita is more or less the equivalent of Captain Ginyu, and accordingly, I feel she deserves a BIT more screen-time than the other minor villains.

3. Shimuto is who-the-fuck-knows-where, and Rudy for all his bitching about posts and keeping the RPG active and progressing for months and months has YET to respond to Rothax and Victoria meeting up. That means that, for the moment, ALL the villains are AFK. So, Chita is pretty much the strongest enemy available ATM. Can't have her dying just yet - she has to stick around and provide a bit more action in between posts from the neverending remaining half hour in the Time Chamber.

[Kuro Espeon]

Oh, I wasn't planning on killing her off, I was going to let it play out for a bit, since Kura has had to have a decent fight scene yet. I was just thinking ahead for later. But anywayz, I'll get to work on something. This will probably start out with Kura getting the ever-loving shit kicked out of her, at least at first. XD

[Bear]

blade is mean

[Asilynne]

Blade, I want to post and answer the question Basawe just yelled out for all the HbTC to hear, but I can't until Saturday. So please everyone give me the time to do that lol

[Master Rudy]

Blade, I want to post and answer the question Basawe just yelled out for all the HbTC to hear, but I can't until Saturday. So please everyone give me the time to do that lol

Dammit....beat me to it!
In that case I suppose I can focus on a quick Victoria post over the weekend so we can kick off that part of the story.

Fair warning to Blade and Heald......if you don't want the ship damaged I'd suggest speaking up soon. If I don't hear anything by Saturday night I'll assume that short of total destruction/damage to Rothax's DB machine that some parts in the ship will be fair game

[Heald]

Whilst I'm not completely opposed to it, Blade may have some objections. Maybe just damage, yet not irreversible damage.

[Master Rudy]

Whilst I'm not completely opposed to it, Blade may have some objections. Maybe just damage, yet not irreversible damage.

Those were my thoughts exactly. I'll stop short of damage that would cause a crash landing or seriously affect the remainder of the plot.

Also don't forget....Victoria has no idea what Rothax is planning on doing with the DB's. All she knows is he has them. If she were to come across them at best all she would think is that it's a containment chamber of some sort. If she couldn't find them she wouldn't risk destroying the ship which in turn may destroy the Dragon Balls. The heroes eventually will need them to restore West City and bring those that died back to life. Honestly the only way I could see any of the heroes even consider destroying them is if a villian was on the verge of using them and they knew that destruction was the only option.

[Blademaster]

Crash landing? The fuck are you on about? Rothax's ship touched down hours ago.

Anyway, Rothax's ship houses two very vital things. The first is his machine. The second is something much worse than Chita. Damage it at your own risk, but don't think Rothax will just let you. Even in his current form, he dwarfs Victoria's speed and power.

Also, Tennan is on the ship. He's laughably weak, but he's still almost as strong as Victoria in her base form, and he'd rather contend with her wrath than Rothax's. So don't think Vic will be able to just bypass Rothax, board his ship, and start shooting it up like Vegeta without SOME resistance.

[Master Rudy]

Sorry guys....has some RL issues come up which I'd rather not get into or discuss. I've poked my head in to keep tabs on things but as for having time to post it's been next to none. I'll try to get something up in the next day or two ^_~

Blade: Sorry if there was confusion on the matter with the ship being on the ground. I'd have to look back over things to remember who it was but a post someone made seemed to suggest that the ship was in low orbit. In any case I'll likely start things off on Victoria's side with a battle with Tennan. I can't remember if he had a profile or not so if he does point me in the right direction Blade. Also I'll be honest with you.....if he's close to Victoria he may put up an ok fight but he isn't going to last against her. If he's not important to the plot I'll likely be killing him off.

Brandy and Blade: Since Bran had plans to respond to Basawe I'm giving her first crack before I make any more HTC posts unless you guys say it's ok for me to do so......I don't wish to disrupt any plans you guys may have had ^_~

[Bear]

I'll try to get a Hammer post up within the next day or two, but it'll likely be mostly training oriented since I don't think he's directly involved with the plot at the moment. Unless someone else has plans for him/wants him for something, let me know.
