Honorific Incentives - Reijin - 02-19-2007
Ok, thanks for clearing it up. I didn't quite understand
Whenever I get home (Once again I'm not on my home comp) I need to talk to you on AIM. Just whenever I can get with you.

Not really a question, but a comment. I don't really care about a reward or anything, just as long as what I accomplish IC in my quest stays, I'll be fine. =)

Send me a PM when you can get on AIM.

There shouldn't be a problem with that.

Because they cause many issues within the system in regards to MIA status, in regards to relationships between the characters themselves, in regards to the history of the site, and in regards to joining issues.

1) Uhh, I'll address the portion I understand: likenesses to canons will not be allowed for customs. So you can't spray-paint Trunks's hair and call it a custom type thing.
2) The canons will be NPCed by the staff and used at the staff's discretion. However, there are guidelines for bloodlines. Don't have 'em on me.
3) Hmm?
4) They do not have to be DBZ-ish. Male. Sorry, I felt like saying "Ishmale."
Honorific Incentives - Krillin - 02-19-2007
*Ishmael

It's not a typo. I've never read the book you are alluding to.
Honorific Incentives - Whompt - 02-19-2007
I wish I could figure out how to do "shemale" in a grammatically correct way. While also not just blatantly saying "shemale." You know. Do it cool. So I'll look less lame.

Saw this when it was posted but never got around to replying. <_< Anyway ...
I DON'T LIKE THE NAMES. I THINK THE NAMES SHOULD BE CHANGED.
I'm kidding, it looks (for all the little I know about the stats) perfect. Not too much, but a nice little nod of acknowledgment to those who stayed active, for a bit of a headstart when the rollover rolls round.

My bad, HF. I didn't know you were making up proper nouns. =/

It's a favourite passtime of mine, Klarkeh. ^_^

(5) Can we use pictures of DBZ canons, if we modify it enough to where you cannot readily recognize them? For example, say Johnny B. Good wanted to play a guy who had hair like Trunks and a similar build, but the guy in question had green hair, wore a white business suit and had eyes more like Goku's? You might be able to recognize that the sig was made from a picture of Trunks, but when you see the picture/sig, your first though is "This is the gyu's character", not "this is a Trunks imitation".... is this acceptable?
I'm gonna say No on this one for simplification. If we allow this, then the question becomes "How much must a character be edited from the original for it to be acceptable", and some members in the past have been known to be problematic on issues like this.
Quote:(6) As for #3, I was asking if it would be alright if our characters knew everything the canon characters did, for example: I've RP'd to this point that Borgos has been an undercover Agent for Vegeta-Sei for many decades. He has had many aliases (some of them being old characters I'vep layed), and if I wanted to RP that this guy was actually using the name BORGOS as an alias (which would make the plot A LOT more interesting), could I?
As of right now, I see no problem with that. Thus, a tentative Yes.
Quote:(7) Will you have racial stats/traits/techs that are for the basic Custom DBZ Universe races?
We have plans for this.

(4) Can custom be characters deviate from the DBZ'ish universe? For example, I know there are several who are just DYING to use Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy as a template for their character, and RPing them as such. Will this be allowed, or do they have to be DBZ Style?
I'd like to add that you can't join as Vincent Valentine and play your character like you are. They need to be custom, as in original. We'll reject your application if we see you're using a cookie-cutter character, so to speak.

I share a question with Borgos, and, unfortunately, I did not find much satisfaction in Heffers' answer. I have plans for my custom character to be the offspring of Buu. When Buu dies right before the reset, he's going to spit out an egg that will hatch my custom character. Will this be allowed?
Honorific Incentives - Raditzu - 02-19-2007
A lot of people are probably thinking about the whole off-spring thing. Luckily, we've already covered this in the dev forum.

If you're in control of a canon character at the time of Turnover, you may choose to have your custom be the offspring of a canon. This requires a few things:
- Permission from your custom's relatives (ie. if you're the daughter Piccolo and Garlic Jr., you must have their permission)
- Your custom's birth must fit into the histories of the rest of the canons, rewritting someone else's history so you can play the son of Goku will not be tolerated
- You get one shot at being a relative; you cannot switch to another relative, you cannot switch to a new custom then back a relative, none of that
- The new, related custom must be categorized into one of the existing races for the purposes of abilities and so forth
- You gain no statistical advantage for being a relative (stats, powerups, abilities, none of that); its purely an IC thing
There ya go.

By the way, if you try to do something stupid like the son of Piccolo and Gohan I'll slap you.
