Griewer

The Grand Struggle - as they used to call back in the days, when the whole universe rushed to the small town just to see the most fiercest and bravest heroes clash with each other. Some say 'those were the days... the days of heroes'. Now, it is much smaller - though still a sight to behold, trust me - still it doesn't quite give off that familiar atmosphere. We could say, it became family friendly as the times passed and the wars have stopped, and nobody was all that anxious to see blood spilled. The Great Struggle - as they call it now... This was the second time Odyn came to the tourney and the second time he intended to participate. Last time he made it through the preliminaries, but was defeated shortly after by a young man with blond, spiky hair and a gigantic sword. He lost in a fair fight, but intended to try again and at least defeat the youth if they were to face each other once more. It'd probably the best if I stayed away from the drinks while the tournament is on. wouldn't look cool if I entered the battlefield completely smashed. The warrior from Phoenix Plaza made his way towards the arena, which was deep in the maze of the orange-colored city, preparing himself for the battles ahead.

The noise of the youth disturbed Bulma, Gohan and the others who were hard at work on the machine which they were preparing for Son Goku, who was about to embark on a journey to collect the Black Star Dragon Balls scattered throughout the universe. They were the cause of what happened to Son Goku in the first place, and they had to be found within a year or the earth would be destroyed! Hearing Yuki's voice, Bulma and the others finished their work and went to greet the mysterious gang of travelers. Of course, Gohan and the rest of them thought it was Goku again, and stared at Yuki with a slight anger as they thought he tried disturbing their work. "Goku, how many times do I have to-" Bulma started speaking, but froze as it struck her. The machine, the boy who wasn't Goku at all, and all the rest of them. "Pan, who are they?" Gohan asked, shocked by the power of the young people. "Well... it is sort of a long story." Pan tried explaining, but wanting to avoid unnecessary rounds of questions and answers, Lukai cut in and answered instead. "We're from a different timeline by accident and we need your help because the machine is not complete yet, and we need you to finish it for us!"

"That's true, but that could also misguide her if we're not careful!" Lukai replied carefully. "For now lets concentrate on the work ahead... that is finding a way to get this thing fixed!" Lukai wondered what could've been different in this timeline if there was anything different at all. For now, all seemed to be perfectly fine, though they only saw a fragment of the world. Pan led the team to the laboratory, where her family were still working on another machine which was being prepared for a different mission... one she almost forgot about. As they landed outside the building, she was thinking about telling them what has happened to Son Goku, but then she realized that they were probably very well aware of what was going on... or were they? "Um... so you're from the future or something right? You know what has happened in this year, with Son Goku, right?" she asked curiously.

Together with the others, Pan flew back to the timeline machine and admired it as the others grabbed and lifted the heavily looking vehicle. "Alright then, if you're all ready, follow me!" she said and a bit more slowly, she headed towards Bulma's laboratory. "So what is the the future like, huh?" she asked winking at the others. "You know what will happen! Care to share the information?" "Nope!" Lukai said immediately, looking at the other two warningly. "We mustn't meddle with the timeline!" she whispered to her friends. "Who knows what it might cause!" "At least something about my lovelife! If nothing else, give me a tip!" "You don't seem to lucky with the men," Lukai analyzed. "Not at all," she sighed. "So any tips would be gratefully-" "Sorry, we can't help you with that!"

Pan listened to Chie carefully, until Yuki decided to sat on her head which caused a surprisingly calming and funny scene which made not only Pan but Lukai laugh as well. It took Pan a few seconds to get used to all these weird things, which all started happening around her. First her grandfather turns back into a child, then she meets her yet unborn cousin who came back from the future of a different timeline. Sure was a long and rough day and boy, was it still far from over! "Alright, so you came here with probably Bulma's time machine..." she said, as she couldn't picture anyone else being able to build such a thing, and since Trunks already did something like this once in the past... or the future? "I better take you guys to her then, maybe she knows what to do." Pan explained, and without waiting any futher she hurried towards the Capsule Corps laboratory. "Follow me!"

Listening to her friends, Lukai decided not to join the conversation as the two of them managed to confuse Pan quite nicely all by themselves. Instead she just listened to what the two of them were saying to the girl, who for a moment seemed to be entirely lost, but managed remain calm and composed still. "Grandfather? Cousin?" Pan stared at the boy and couldn't decide whether she should yell or laugh or cry. Then came the girl who didn't make this situation any easier. Pan took a quick glance at their third friend, who seemed even weirder which honestly didn't make the situation any better. Calm down Pan! This is your big chance, the moment of truth! Show everyone how well you can handle this! She looked at the three of them: Son Yuki, Chie and... "What is your name?" she asked the third member of the team. "Lukai. Nice to meet you." "So... judging from what Yuki said and how you began to explain things, Chie... things seem to be really complicated. Why don't you tell me what happened to you guys? Where are you from?"

He's fast! This was the first sentence that formed in her mind as Yuki passed her, As the boy stopped in front of her, Pan suddenly realized that it wasn't his grandfather, but someone who resembled him greatly. The red tail, the size and the clothing. Just who was this boy? Seeing his relaxed, open behaviour her grandfather's image popped into her mind again, but quickly discarded the idea. "Son... Yuki?" She repeated the name. "New here?" Could he be... She turned and looked at the two girls closing in, then looked back at the young Saiyan in front of her. "My name is Pan," she said hesitantly. "Are you by any chance related to... Son Goku?" Lukai gained speed and was closing in on the two of them ahead so she heard bits and pieces about what they were talking about. Seeing how Yuki acted, he probably had absolutely no idea who he actually was talking to... then again Lukai wasn't all that sure either. At any rate the boy managed to stop and somewhat surprise the girl it seemed, as she stopped mid air and just floated there staring at the boy.

Pan obviously felt Yuki getting closer to her as she turned around to face him, but her already angry look turned into a furious one as she rested her eyes on the boy. "How many times do I have to repeat myself?! STOP following me!" she yelled at Yuki and doubled her efforts to get as far away from the Saiyan as possible. Lukai watched the scene from afar so she couldn't exactly hear what they were saying, but seeing how the girl flew away she couldn't help but to laugh as she suspected that Son "Ladiesman" Yuki was at fault. "Let's go after him." she said to Chie and followed after Yuki. Even from this far away, looking closer at the girl she saw a slight resemblance between them. Could it be? Could she've been a relative of Yuki?

"Age of 749" Lukai repeated, thinking about what happened back in 749. Seeing her friends already up in the sky, the Shin-jin followed them and as the soared towards the city she thought a bit more about the situation. "Say, Yuki. something important happened in 749, right? Can't you remember what was it?" The city was bustling with people and as the made their way through above, Lukai tried to find a familiar face or a point of interest... and honestly it wasn't that difficult, as she saw a young girl flying past - although far beneath - them. She must be! "Look!" she pointed at the girl, a small glimpse of hoping sparkling in her. "She might be able to help us!" The girl didn't seem to take notice of Lukai yelling as she went on without looking back at the trio, so the Shin-jin urged her friends to take notice. She was hoping that it was indeed a friend who could help them out.

It was a shaky ride, but Lukai braved it with her breakfast still intact. The moment the machine landed and the door opened she jumped out onto the grassy field outside. They were pretty close to a town, but for the moment she was just happy that nothing bad seemed to have happened. "You even sure we traveled through time and not only space?" She stood up and looked at the city. The cities on earth pretty much looked the same in her eyes, so she wasn't sure where they were. Expecting some sort of guidance, wisdom or anything of use from her friends, she turned towards them. "What do we do now?" What if they really did go back in time? How much did they go and how will they get home? To her it didn't matter that much which time period she lived her life in, but her friends had family and others waiting for them back in the present time. They were in a bit of trouble alright and she couldn't quite see how they could get out of it.

"Thinking about battles again!" Lukai grinned at the boy. "You're thinking with your muscles, don't ya?" She examined the machine along with her friends, but unlike Yuki she had no intention of touching anything and when she heard what the boy was planning, she protested immediately against the idea. "Don't you dare! You'll just get us all into some big trouble!" she said half smiling half seriously. After that Lukai could barely turn away before Son Yuki sat on the button. Feeling the immediate change around them, her eyes widened and she hastened towards the door, which was unfortunately shut tight by the time she got there. "You've got to be kidding me! Son Yuki, what've you done!" Since the machine was starting to power up, the alarm went off and seconds later Bulma and a couple of scientists ran back, on their face a mixture of fright and curiosity visible. Bulma was trying to shout something to them, but the machine was so loud it was impossible to make out what she was yelling.

"Nothing of that sort, I'm afraid" Bulma replied to Chie's question. Lukai followed the other two into the machine, taking a good look at every inch of this technological wonder. It was a miracle, a complex one. Dozens of switches, buttons, levers and monitors surrounded them, some of them flashing, others blinking. "How does it work?" Lukai looked at the inventor whose smile widened by this question. "Basically the machine opens a gateway around itself and warps out of existence, warping back in at another point of the timeline, but at the moment, somehow we can only move the machine backwards so returning to our time would be quite problematic. That's exactly why you shouldn't push anything! Don't want to come across accidents, do we?" "Say, Yuki, if you could go back in time... what moment would you visit?" she asked the boy with a smile. "What about you, Chie?" She herself would gladly go and stop herself from being kidnapped, but that probably wouldn't be a smart thing to do. While they were inside the machine, Bulma got a call from a scientist, so she excused herself for a moment and left the room leaving the three friends by themselves with the half-complete Timeline Machine.

Surprise... She had her fill of surprises and not all of them very pleasant ones. Just like Chie, her mind drifted away for a second as well, though she quickly came to her senses as she heard Yuki calling their friend. She smiled at the thought of both girl ignoring poor boy, but her smile faded as she followed the boy's hand and looked at that something, which was covered under the white sheet. "What is that thing?" She asked quietly, and suddenly the voice of Bulma filled the room. "Come in, kids! Come in, come in!" Lukai looked at her friends, nodded and stepped into the room, her eyes till gazing at the gigantic thing and its white cover. "Our newest invention! I've been working on it endlessly! Still not complete, mind you, but I just had to show it to someone!" Bulma said happily, a slight pride escaping her. She was really overjoyed it seems, but what she was hiding under the blanket, that Lukai had no idea about. "So what is it?" "I call it..." She grabbed the white sheet as she replied, and pulled it off the gadget. "...the Timeline Machine!" Lukai felt her jaw drop as she stared at the glorious machine. Bulma was beaming with pride and joy, seeing their faces. "Pretty cool, huh?" The young Shin-Jin could only nod, though she remembered hearing about it existing before. Something about Trunks coming back from the future with a message... or something. She couldn't remember the story that well. It was pretty difficult, but she forcefully turned to see how her friends reacted at the sight of Bulma's newest invention. "So, Son Yuki! What do you think? Want to give it a closer look?" Bulma winked at the young Saiyan. "Just be careful you three, it is still not completely done, so be careful and try not to touch the buttons!"

"Hello you two!" she greeted her friends as they landed and high fived with Son Yuki. The seemed pleased and Chie looked cheerful as usual. Before she could say anything more however, the daughter of Majin Buu was already making her way towards the building, Yuki following her. "Hey wait for me!" She yelled at her friends and ran after them with a wide grin. She followed the others inside the lab, hurrying across the building, towards Bulma's office. She wasn't that familiar around the building, so she was hoping that her friends knew their way around. Honestly, she spent some time on this planet, but still couldn't quite get the hang of thing. It all seemed a bit distant to her, which wasn't a big surprise, though she did learn quite fast. "So do you guys know, what Bulma wants to show us?" she asked with a slight curiosity in her voice.

Not far from the Capsule Corp's warehouse - where they all supposed to meet in a couple of minutes - a girl was standing, her arms folded her eyes gazing the sky above. She was Lukai, the third member of Team X. She wasn't human though, but rather a being from far away place, unknown to many. She was a Shin-jin and a rather young one. How she ended up on this planet after all these years was a mystery even to her, but for the time being it didn't matter one bit. She was here because they were all invited to see Bulma's newest invention, another peculiar machine no doubt. She herself wasn't all that interested in the machine, but since she knew how interested her friends were, she didn't want to spoil the fun by declining Bulma's offer. After a couple of minutes, she saw to small figures far away in the sky and she broke into a smile, waving at them even.

Here's my character. Won't play a super big role. He's in it only for the drinks. ;-) Name: Odyn Gender: Male Age: 45 World of Origin: Phoenix Plaza (Original World) Bio: Odyn was born and raised in the distant world of Phoenix Plaza, where he pursuit the role of soldier during his youth. First he became a simple footman but as he claimed many victories and slain many of his enemies, the army took notice of his skills not only as a warrior but also as a tactician. Step by step he climbed the ladder, earning his place amongst the very best of the army. Since then the wars have stopped and Phoenix Plaza became a peaceful world. Such world couldn’t hold such restless man and so Odyn left his home and sought new enemies, new battles, new victories. One day he met a wizard who had a very different aura around him. Odyn followed the sorcerer who travelled the land. The spellcaster of course knew that he was being followed by the swordsman and one night surprised him. Odyn told him about his suspicions and the wizard – named Merlin – revealed the truth before the warrior. Odyn wished to travel to other worlds and Merlin agreed to take the man with him, but first he too needed the swordsman help in acquiring a special crystal from Phoenix Plaza. Odyn and Merlin together through a long a perilous journey attained the magical item and as a reward for his help, the sorcerer presented Odyn with a special Star Shard which he could use, to travel between the worlds. Ever since then, Odyn has been travelling around the universe in search of promising warriors, good brawls and fine drinks! Appearance: LINK Personality: Having seen many battles in his homeland, Odyn is a battle-hardened veteran from the distant land of Phoenix Plaza who finds great joy in a friendly brawl after a day-long work and night filled with booze. He has no particular interest in killing, but whenever he is called to arms he wields his sword with pride and fights for his home without second thoughts. He watches the youth of the new generation with a great interest, seeking strong opponents to test his own abilities and to find the rough jewels of the future which he may help to shape. Choice of Weapon: Broadsword named “Wanderer” Magical Abilities: Phoenix Fire (fire elemental magic) Magical Items: Fawkes' Feather (A magical feather which can turn into a fiery whip) Ashes of Al'ar (A small bag of phoenix ash, that can summon a mighty bird) Traits: - Strength A - Agility B - Intelligence B - Speed C - Luck C EDIT: Seeing how it'd be impossible to keep up with you people if Odyn only wielded a sword, I decided to add a couple of things to make him a bit stronger.

Hiya! I'd like to shed some light on the Trait system. Since it is a bit difficult in RP games to determine who is stronger/faster in a battle, we decided it'd be best to find a way to differentiate abilities. The easiest is to have stats, which will play a (minor) role during combat. - Strength (How strong is your charater) - Agility (How well can you use your weapon, or dodge attacks) - Intelligence (How well can you cast magic, and how strong your spells are) - Speed (How fast is your character) - Luck (Overall luck of a character) Divide the following: - 1 A class trait - 2 B class trait - 2 C class trait (classes are from D to S -> D is poor; C is average; B is exceptional; A is professional; S is mastered) Why is there a D and an S rank? There are ways to gain S rank for limited time, if your character has an ability which gives him/her a power up. Sort of Super Saiyan-like temporal power upgrade, that boosts your abilities for a short time. On the other hand, if your character for some reason encounters a nasty curse or something during his/her travels, one of his/her traits might be affected negatively. In these cases, his/her "C" class traits can become even lower for a short time. So does it mean that my C rank character will never match the speed of other player's B rank character? Not necessarily. This system is implemented more like as a guideline it is like a maximum potential to your character, but since our character can't be in a top form in every single second, we can't always outrank each another. When fighting the villains of the game, it'll be easier for us to see who is easier to block and whose magical spell could cause a bigger problem for us. If there are any questions regarding the trait system or anything else, feel free to throw a bunch of questions in our way and we'll do our best to answer them!
