1.9 Techniques
Techniques are different abilities you can learn in the RPG. They aren't the same as normal moves. They are things such as ki sense and OOzura. They are learned over time or rewarded by staff.
There are also Power Up Techniques. Poower Up Techniques are used by a person when they want their character's max ki to go up. They range from x5 max ki to x40 max ki. These are like Spiritkin and Super Saiya-jin and Super Namek-jin and others. They are rewarded by staff usually, more information on the techniques page.
2.0 Alliances
An alliance means a lot of things. Friends, safety and protection, and TP. But you can't just start an alliance or enter an alliance out of nowhere. If you're going to start one with other people, it's best to meet them in character before anything big happens, that way, it will make more sense and be more realistic.
When in an alliance, you can do everything together and mess around. You can also squire other people.
2.0b Squire
A squire is part of an alliance tool. This tool is for stronger characters to give weaker ones in their alliance their TP. So if a person is weaker than me, I can give them my TP a week (You can pick how much) as long as they are in my alliance.
2.0c Alliance Money
Alliance money really means nothing in this RPG. It's just a gimmic to make everything seem realistic and what not, nothing special. You can use it to buy an alliance HQ though, but you don't need it since you can already give other people money to help pay for things...
3.0 Roleplaying
Roleplaying is the MOST important thing in this RPG currently. Roleplaying is just like writing a story about you character. Examples are written all over on the forums at Chubbs. We only do third person which is he, she, they, etc. We also do past tense such as, said, went, etc.
When RPing you are your character and you put what your character feels and you develop your character into the way you want that person to be. It doesn't matter how they are in the anime, you can make Goku evil and Dr. Gero nice. It's YOUR choice.
3.1 OOC Posting
Posting in OOC (Out of Character) is also important. If you post something with a title "(Quest Title) Guidance" we don't know what you want. Remember, if you are asking a question or for help, clarify specifically what you need. We can't read minds so you need to tell us what you need. We don't like when people talk about illegal things either. So don't talk about how much you do drugs, pirate games/movies, or anything illegal. Don't bring in anything racial because we accept all races and don't talk about religion or politics. These threads are locked because debates go too far on these topics. Also, don't be a post whore OOC and not RP. You will be kicked out.
Also, to avoid confusion, being bitched at, and other things, it is advised to use correct spelling and grammar. Sentance Structure is one of the most important things in this RPG, only because it's the only thing we really can bitch and moan about. If you use bad grammar, you will be looked down upon, so try your best with that. And if you are from a different country and your English is rusty, just explain it and you should be good to go and nobody else has a reason to bitch at you. and don't say it's because you are young because I am only thirteen and I try to keep the best grammar and spelling I can.
4.0 Characters
The characters in the RPG are on the roster page. When you first go there it shows the active roster, the people who are taken. On the link there are the top, click Inactive characters.
This shows what characters aren't taken. But remember, staff are lazy here sometimes and sometimes the roster isn't updated. So they will have characters already taken on the inactive roster sometimes. NPCs are Non Playable Characters, so don't ask if you can be Vegeta or anything like that. They are there for reference, really.
There are a lot of characters in the RPG so when it comes to picking a character, it shouldn't be hard. You can not be any NPC (Non playable Characters, they are listed there), Hildergarn, or any of the dragons.
If you don't find a character you want then don't worry. We have found a website that has, what we think, is all of the characters in DB/Z/GT
http://www.myfavoritegames.com/dragonbal...cter-a.htm
Also, remember, in this RPG ALL races are equal. Saiya-jin are NOT in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM the strongest race.
5.0 Joining
Joining this RPG requires you to know the rules and read this, the FAQ/Walkthrough, which already has the Rules on it =/. The information you gather from these two sources will tell you what you have to do to join the RPG, also look at the sticky on the joining board on the forums.
Joining requires this information (Taken from the join page of Chubbs, on the left it is linked on the main page):
Before you join, I suggest looking under HELP, since all the rules are there. To join you must go to the forums by clicking on the ROLEPLAY link. Go to the Joining Board and make a post there as a Guest. (So don't register on the forums yet!)
# First, you must tell me the character you wish to be. The character must not be chosen, if he isn't on the roster. If it says he is open on the roster-you can be him. He also can't be one of the special characters (look in other to find out the special characters). Any character from Dragonball, Dragonball Z or Dragonball GT. That means no self-thought characters. And NO fused characters.
# After that, give me the personality of the character {ex. Ruthless (never gives up and may be cheap just to win), Courageous (will keep battling, no matter what the odds are), Kind-Hearted (shows deep mercy for the opponent and won't kill someone-unless something causes them to do so), Clever (Could be good or bad, will wait for the perfect time to attack and study the opponent, also finds ways to cheaply defeat the opponent.), etc... You just choose the personality and explain it if it isn't listed here.
# After all of that, tell me what planet you wish to start on. You may start on Earth, Vegeta, or Namek. There are more planets, but you may only start on these for now.
# Tell me your e-mail address, AIM (if you have it) and/or your ICQ number (if you have it).
# Also, send in a roleplay example.
# After all of that, wait for a reply to start Roleplaying. YOU CAN'T START PLAYING UNTIL YOU GET A REPLY STATING WHO YOU ARE!!! Just remember, first come first serve so join soon!!!
What all of this means is, don't register on the boards yet, but you should post on the joining board and it should look like this:
Topic of Thread: Joining as (You character)
Body paragraph:
CharacterL (Whoever you want, no made up characters)
Personality: (If you want him kind hearted, etc)
Planet: (Out of Earth, Vegeta, and Namek)
Email: (Your email here)
AIM/ICQ/MSN: (Your screen name, etc here)
Roleplay: (Your RP example)
That's it. But for a roleplay example make it how you would RP when you are registered and accepted into the RPG. This means, make it past tense, third person, use spell check, split paragraphs using a "buisness letter" style of writing.
"Business Letter" style of writing is when you have a paragraph then press enter two times making a gap between paragraphs, this is only because the boards don't have indents.
Also, make your RP a little length, 300 words+ is always good and people usually get in with that.
Now, don't register yet! Wait for a staff member to look at it and when s/he says "Accepted, register and someone will activate you." do as told. Register an account for the forums and they will accept it. Make sure it's the same as your character name. If it's taken, reply back in the joining thread you made as a guest again and tell them the problem, they will fix it for you.
Then have fun RPing!
Note: You can not make up characters. Only characters from the anime/manga are allowed.
6.0 Warnings and Bannings
When you are OOC or IC and don't follow a rule, you can get warned. Staff are sometimes leniant on warnings but that means nothing. If you post just OOC in an IC forum, you can get warned, if you post mindless spam in the Q/S/U you will get warned, This is very important because it's like baseball, three strikes and your out. Please be cautious and think before you do any actions and if you have a problem with somebody or they have done anything bad or sent you something bad in PM or email, tell a staff member.
Warnings are obviously given for obvious reasons. Don't be an idiot =/
7.0 Miscellanious
There are a lot of things people keep asking or talking about and since they aren't previously located in the FAQ, I will make a whole new part to the FAQ for them. There are a lot of things people need help on, so let me try my best.
At the bottom of the shop page, it says for reference and lists items. These are items that have been taken out of the RPG. They are there because NPCs or some characters may have them because they never traded them in. So, don't ask.
