MARCH AU PLANNING
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

Welcome to the March AU Planning Meme for Daybreak Academy! This post is intended to help prospective players plot their AU and figure out who their characters are in this setting and where they want to go, as well as work together with other players to plan future CR, build Secret Societies and Clubs, and generally determine where they want to start their characters, and where they want them to go. In addition to posting up the form, you are encouraged to tag around to other people's forms and discuss potential CR and plans with them. This post is an open forum for all prospective players to hash out interesting ideas for their characters ahead of joining the game.

Not sure where to start? Feel free to look through the Premise and FAQ for notes on what the game is about, and what to expect. We also encourage you to take a look at our information for in-setting Powers and Secret Societies to help flesh out your character's backstory.

Please note, simply posting here is not enough to guarantee your spot in the game. If you are interested in playing a character, you will want to Reserve them.

If it does, I haven't found them. It's possible I downloaded a version that didn't include the scenes or something.

As for Gohan's power, I made him a natural wereape, mostly to mirror that Saiyan physiology, so that'd take care of strength, reflexes, endurance, stamina, etc. But I made his ki manipulation his Flame, so he's basically got everything except going Super Saiyan. He hasn't learned to fly though, since in this AU, I played it like he was the only one in his family who had this Flame, so no one else can fly (except maybe Piccolo because magic idk), and they didn't immediately think that he could be taught how to fly.

Hm! I'll be waiting for the english version either way when it releases, maybe it's just not the version people have gotten ahold of yet. Supposedly (ruuumor) there was a half hour or more of stuff cut for the theater release that was supposed to go in, and smooth out some of the really janky scene-cuts.

There's probably ways to pull off super saiyan. Maybe with jacking some things from Broly's rageform, since it uses the power of oozaru shape without actually .. shapechanging. I'm not sure what circumstances would require/allow Gohan to access alt-form without actually changing though.

[oncall]

Oh, I'm definitely buying the english version when it comes out, don't you worry. I just wanted to get some icons done, and I didn't consider looking into whether there were added scenes or not, since I mostly just started after the time skip, and screencapped from there. As far as after the timeskip, there was nothing new in what I downloaded.

Actually, it's funny you bring that up. While I wasn't planning on doing anything with Super Saiyan, since I can't imagine a scenario where DBZ characters aren't already OP without a transformation... I was thinking maybe Gohan could develop some hybrid form of his wereape transformation. BASICALLY, I was gonna see about giving him Super Saiyan 4 for laughs.

[maximumest]

That was in no way an accusation that you might not. Just sayin' I intended to get it myself because I want it plus possible more stuff, and in english because I'm lazy and reading the movie means not paying attention to the art as much.

Does he have his tail now, or would that be part of the fun of fluffiest 4 form?

[oncall]

I think I went with no tail, since it's an AU and I wanted to make Gohan as unassuming as I could. He can still transform with the moon on a bad day or something, but since the lycanthrope AU for this game mentions that natural lycanthropes have an easier time controlling their transformations, I went with him having a decent handle on it and feeling pretty comfortable with his ape form... until he started going to school.

Also, his ape form isn't giant now, because I don't think the game could handle it. So please help yourself to the image of a big buff ape wearing a white long-sleeve shirt with a black vest over it.

[maximumest]

in fairness a lot of places really aren't designed to handle fifty foot tall or bigger baboons.

[oncall]

I just love the idea of the oozaru form running down the hallway, all dressed up, yelling in a deep booming voice I'M LATE FOR CLASS

[maximumest]

And attempting to squeeze into tiny college desks, or use tiny laptop keyboards with giant sausage fingers.


"My dog ate my homework!" "Your dog." "Yes." "..." "..Okay it might have been me. It was a full moon last night."

[oncall]

YES. See that's the exact kind of shit I need to do more of with Gohan.

Rolling it back a bit, would Broly introduce himself as a natural wereape (or Saiyan)? Because I think if he did, Gohan would definitely have a vested interest in wanting to talk to Broly and such, even if he'll be really nervous about it. His experience with Saiyans so far mirrors Early DBZ, so he's... anxious.

AND IT WOULD BE HILARIOUS OF BROLY OF ALL PEOPLE WOULD PUT HIM AT EASE.

[maximumest]

You know, I'm not entirely sure! He probably would if he's asked what he is or something similar, since there's probably more than a few hints that he's not Bob Human or anything, but I don't really see him going up to people and going "Hello, I'm part monkey, how do you do!" or anything of the sort. He's not really up on MY SPECIES IS GREAT, but he also isn't ashamed of his heritage, so he won't bother to NOT mention it if it comes up.

Probably not exactly in a Me Saiyan You Human sort of Tarzany way but .. also kind of.
