XTREME RACES
The Dragon Ball world is full of many different kinds of races and creatures. Below is a list of the most common kinds:
ANDROIDS
Among Dr. Gero's greatest inventions is the android. They can literally battle for hundreds of years without wearing down. Unfortunately, they are horribly evil and exist only to destroy.
Special Advantage 1: After battle the normal stat gains are doubled.
Special Advantage 2: Can absorb parts from dead androids.
Special Advantage 3: Androids have the ability to permanently mask their PL and avoid detection.
Special Disadvantage 1: Androids cannot train with Kai's since they are not living organisms, unless they are invited and win the Other World Tournament and receive the King Kai/Grand Kai/etc pass.
CHANGELINGS
The Changeling race is one that has become feared due to it's infamous member Freiza. Though few in number, they are exceptionally powerful and use this power for the sole purpose of conquering other races. Changelings get their name from their unique ability to change their forms multiple times during battle. Most can only achieve two or three forms within their life times. However there are some exceptions.
Special Advantage 1: Can transform into different forms, each one stronger than the last. With each form ki energy is replenished.
Transformation costs and effects:
5000 exp. Stage 2: STR x 5 SPD x 5 DEF x 5 SPR x 5
10,000 exp. Stage 3: STR x 10 SPD x 10 DEF x 10 SPR x 10
50,000 exp. Stage 4: STR x 20 SPD x 20 DEF x 20 SPR x 20
70,000 exp. Stage 5: STR x 50 SPD x 50 DEF x 50 SPR x 50
Special Disadvantage 1: Transforming takes two turns, the turn you use it and the turn after. During these turns all damage done to the Changeling is doubled and they can't fight back.
You must learn the transformations in order (you must learn stage 2 before learning stage 3). At the end of each battle a Changeling will revert back to his/her original form.
HUMANOIDS
Humans and Humanoids are among the most common species in the Dragon Ball universe. Though seemingly weak, with a little training they become powerful warriors at a very fast pace. Remember this is Akira Toriyama's Earth where people can look like people, pigs, wolves, or any other roughly Human-like "Animal-Person" you want. Only some Humanoid's however have special abilities because of their odd form.
Special Advantage 1: Humans are very versatile fighters. They receive 100 extra points to divide up between stats.
Special Advantage 2: Some Humans can transform like Master Roshi, for example. They tend to be much stronger in these other forms.
Transformation cost and effects:
PL 70000: STR x 20 SPD x 20 DEF x 20 SPR x 20.
NAMEKIANS
Humanoid but green with antennae and large sensitive ears, Namekians appear to concentrate mostly on the spiritual aspects of life. With an amazing control over their physiologies, Namekians have the ability of regeneration. Nameks are the creators of the legendary Dragon Balls. They also come from the planet Namek, but this is a fact that very few Nameks even know.
Special Advantage 1: This race naturally knows the "Regeneration" ability.
Regeneration:
This ability allows the user to regenerate any lost limbs or body parts as long as their head is still intact.
500 ki per limb or major body part.
Special Advantage 2: Can transform into the terrible Kyodaika form, the Giant Namek. This form only lasts five turns or until the Namek sustains a serious injury.
20,000 Exp: STR x 20 SPD x 20 DEF x 20 SPR x 20.
Special Advantage 3: Placing their hands on each others chests, they can fuse with other Nameks permanently. This will combine the current stats of each Namek. This fusion is irreversible and can only be done with both parties consent. Only one player may control the new Namek, who will take on that players name.
Special Disadvantage 1: Whistling is very painful to a Namekians ears. It is the only race that can be damaged by the "Whistling" attack.
Whistling:
This ability is available to every character in the RPG. It will damage any Namekian within 50 miles by 5% of their maximum HP. It can only be used twice per battle.
SAIYANS AND HALF SAIYANS
A ruthless small society of mercenaries. The Saiyans were feared across the universe as the personal army of Freiza, but a mysterious event caused the destruction of their home planet around twenty years ago. Now few in number, the Saiyan's travel the universe causing destruction wherever they may go. They are much like Humans in size and shape, but have amazing endurance and strength. They can even breed with Humans. The resultant race is a Half Saiyan.
Special Advantage 1: Can transform and even eventually go Super Saiyan which increases their power dramatically.
Transformation cost and effects:
Oozaru: This form can be reached by any Saiyan with a tail. They must look at either the full moon or the moon created by the attack "Moon". It will last until the moon is no longer visible or their tail is cut off. If their tail is cut off while in this form their HP is reduced by 1/2.
STR x 5 SPD x 5 DEF x 5 SPR x 5
Super Saiyan: This form can be reached by any person with Saiyan blood. It lasts until the battle is over or until the Saiyan sustains a serious injury.
1800 Exp. PL 100,000 (1/2 Saiyans 70,000): STR x1 0 SPD x 10 DEF x 10 SPR x 10
Super Saiyan 2: This form can be reached by any person with Saiyan blood. It lasts ten turns or until the Saiyan sustains a serious injury.
9000 Exp (1/2 Saiyans 5,500 exp): STR x 20 SPD x 20 DEF x 20 SPR x 20
Super Saiyan 3: This form can be reached by any person with Saiyan blood. It lasts five turns. After using this form the fighter's ki is reduced by 1/2.
20000 Exp (1/2 Saiyans 9,500 exp): STR x 40 SPD x 40 DEF x 40 SPR x 40
Super Saiyan 4: This form can only be reached by full blooded Saiyans who have a tail currently. It will last ten turns. After using this form the fighter's ki is reduced by 1/2.
50000 exp: STR x 60 SPD x 60 DEF x 60 SPR x 60
Special Disadvantage 1: If thier tail is chopped off it will take one month real time for it to grow back, unlike 1/2 Saiyans which take two weeks.
DEMONS
Demons are spirits of the great fighters who have escaped from Other World and various dimensions and made it to Earth. A difficult task in itself...most Demons did not make it. This is why their numbers are few here. There are various types of Demons, some good, some bad... all depending on the dead warrior's soul.
Special Advantage 1: All Demons come with a special ability that other races cannot master (Demon teleportation bomb).
Special Advantage 2: Only the strongest and most resilient Demons made it to Earth. Therefore, Demons also start off with an extra 20 points in STR and 20 points in DEF.
Special Advantage 3: Demons can transform, but only under unusual circumstances. Therefore Demons spend no exp points or require any special PL to attain these new forms. The forms are all dependant on a special set of circumstances, however, and will only be offered by the moderator. A 100 sided die will be rolled to determine the chance of these circumstances. You will be asked to choose a number every turn of a battle. If your number and the die match, you will successfully perform your transformation. The transformations last until you sustain a serious injury, or the length of the battle.
Transformation costs and effects:
If you choose a number between one and 25 and the die matches: Makyo Star Transformation: The Makyo star appears providing the Demon with dark energy, feeding its new form.
STR x 5 SPD x 5 DEF x 5 SPR x 5
If you choose a number between 26 and 50 and the die matches: Majin Transformation: Your latent evil energy is brought to the surface by an ancient spell.
STR x 10 SPD x 10 DEF x 10 SPR x 10
If you choose a number between 51 and 75 and the die matches: Schizophrenic Transformation: Due to some unforeseen past event (perhaps in life before you were a demon) you have a hidden altered form or a second half wishing to rejoin with you, which is brought about by destruction of your first form or the summoning of the other half of you.
STR x 20 SPD x 20 DEF x 20 SPR x 20
If you choose a number between 76 and 100 and the die matches: Negative Energy Dragon Ball Transformation: The negative energy inside the Dragon Balls is temporarily unleashed, fusing with your body the powers of the Shadow Dragons.
STR x 50 SPD x 50 DEF x 50 SPR x 50
Special Disadvantage 1: Demons tend to be hateful towards any race other than their own. Therefore such an impurity keeps them from being able to perform the spirit bomb.
KAIS
The Kais are the watchers. They watch over the universe from the higher levels of Other World. They are ranked according to classes. There are King Kais which preside over sections of galaxies. There are Grand Kais which preside over galaxies. There are Supreme Kais which preside over universes. Above them are Elder Kais which serve as a spiritual guru class. And there may yet be more Kais.
Kais are powerful fighters and efficient trainers. They also have the ability of being telepathic, projecting their thoughts great distances. They can also see things great distances away.
Special Advantage 1: They are proficient trainers and fighters by nature. They start with one more tier one or two attack than any other race.
Special Advantage 2: They are extremely intelligent trainers and fighters by nature. They can learn attacks at 1/2 the normal exp required. Increasing their INT can further increase their speed in learning, according to the intelligence meter found on the blueprints page.
Special Advantage 3: When Kais reach 1000 int, they automatically learn Kaioken Lvl One and Spirit Bomb Lvl One as well as Telepathy Lvl One and Two and Three.
OTHER
There are also various other races in the Dragon Ball world that just cannot be classified. You can choose to be an "Other" race so long as you justify yourself and describe the race to me. Other races will not have any particular advantages or disadvantages to begin with.
