Dragon Ball: Days of Future Past (Dead)

Reader mode
Fuck, it is insanely hard to find any decent pictures of delicate male androids/cyborgs/robots. So. Much. Porn.
 
Name: "Ann Duroido" (official designation "Combat Mechanoid Serial No. 045982")

Age: 23 (physical/apparent biological)/230 (years elapsed since original construction)/5 (years elapsed since initial activation)

Race: Android.

Appearance: Tall, with a slightly above-average build for a biological humanoid of her size and apparent race. Her work clothes consist of a blue denim jacket with the sleeves torn off, a hot pink leotard, and military-style combat boots, while her mode of dress off the clock is better described as "business casual". Regardless of whether she's at work or not, she has a strong preference for Bret Hart-style sunglasses. Her external dermal layer is artificially pigmented to match that of the first civilization she came into contact with (which ended up being humans). Shoulder-length brown hair, tied in a single ponytail that goes to the left side.

Combat Style: Professional wrestler, with an emphasis on grappling and power-type moves (spinebuster, piledriver, suplex, etc.). Her body was not programmed to experience the sensation of "pain", though internal diagnostic systems serve a similar function of alerting her to sustained damage.

Skills: Outside of combat sports entertainment, Ann is a skilled motor vehicle operator.

Bio: The Combat Mechanoid that would later dub itself "Ann" was constructed by a now-vanished civilization a few hundred years ago, but only came online in the past four or five years. Programmed to fight, but bereft of a given target or reason, 045982 sought out a wrestling dojo in an attempt to learn how to fight people without actually seriously injuring/killing them. Having only limited emotional capacity and socialization skills, she was able to successfully pass off "I'm actually a machine that was built to emulate a person" as her in-ring "character", and in the post-kayfabe world, most people assume that she's just obsessed with staying "in character". After a few too many attempted relationships imploded on the discovery that she really was an android built to emulate a person, Ann took a hiatus from wrestling and joined the Time Patrol, with the hope/plan/intention/scheme of gaining access to the Dragon Balls of one universe or another so that she could wish herself into the biological life-form that her outward appearance suggests she ought to be. .....oh, yeah, and protecting the timestream is important, too.
 
So, so far we have 2 Human/Saiyan Hybrids, a full Saiyan, a Maijin, and 2 Androids?

Hm. Maybe I'll make a Human. I'll show all you wacky aliens that Humans can cut it in the Time Patrol, too!
 
Name: Glay-Shur
Age: 150 (assuming they are a long lived species.)
Race: Frost Daemon
Appearance:

Combat Style: Prefers to blitz his enemies, strike fast, strike hard, and strike often, to get the fighting over with as soon as possible. Largely uses raw power and overwhelming speed, and little if any technique and skill in the martial arts. About the only technique in his repertoire is the use of his ki to freeze things.

Skills: Sings, Dances, and plays a wide variety of musical instruments. Acting is of lesser interest but Glay-Shur is a fairly proficient thespian as well. He also knows knitting and embroidery.

Bio: Glay-Shur never really cared for the bullying of lesser species that his own people preferred, instead found interest and excitement with the arts, specifically the preforming arts. Unfortunately when ones race is the backbone of the Planetary Trade Organization such presuits are heavily frowned upon and thus was Glay-Shur forced into the "family" business. This also had the effect of honing his acting skills.

While Glay-Shur honestly couldn't care less about preserving the timeline or fighting evil or other such things, joining the Time Patrol would not only net him the good will of various people, but allow him to play for wider and more appreciative audiences.

Kind of tempted to go for an Android from an AU where Dr. Gero (sp?) didn't die and killed Goku and a few other Z fighters, leading to Gero's Androids defeating Cell and eventually becoming the defenders of Earth.

Also, is it just me, or is there something of a trend here?

"Weak, but skilled, is an inventor."
"Weak, but skilled, is a machine."
"Weak, but skilled, likes tinkering."
"Son Pan."

Aside from that last one, anyway...:lol

Mind you, Lilli likes to call herself a tinkerer but But the most advanced tech she's ever seen are the capsules, and they are almost magical to her. The Majin are fallen in her time and little more than Hunter gatherers.

Hm...now the question is, does Mato sense an opportunity for a minion, or just somebody to laugh at?

I'm torn between which flavor of jackass to aim for.

Cynthia Balor
  • Threadmarks
    • I hope this is okay.

    Name: Cynthia Balor
    Age: 18
    Race: Saiyan
    Appearance: Long red hair, green eyes, glasses, tail. Example1 or Example2
    Combat Style: Cynthia Balor is a practioner of what her culture calls Krillin Style. Which focuses around dodging, targeting vulnerablities, and generally cheating as much as needed to survive when you are outclassed like Krillin was against his various foes. Solar Flare + Kienzan is nothing to sneeze at either, and is the signature finishing move of the style.
    Skills: Trained Historian, Able to assume a human form
    Bio: Cynthia Balor was one of the Saiyan exiles of of Garenhuld, she had a keen interest in history and was determined to be a great scholar from as young as four years old. Her quest to be a great scholar went much easier than Gohans, and her knowledge of martial arts comes from self directed study instead of the force of circumstance. Cynthia in fact, is not from the main timeline, but from a parallel quest, she managed to sneak hitching a ride on a time patroller's time machine, having realized said time patroller was an outside element. After hearing about what the Time Patroll did she was eager to be a part of it. Not being bound by the hidebound clan system and abominable masquerade of her culture helps too, as no one executed her when her breakdown over not being real broke her through to super saiyan.
    (Garenhuld itself can be a parallel quest or a shard of changed history or whatever, depending on how the GM wants to run it.)

    Cynthia Balor​

    At the age of eighteen (twenty, counting Room of Time and Space Shenanigans), Cynthia has achieved much. Time Patroller, Full-Power Super Saiyan, Golden Oozaru -- the young hybrid has impressive things in her past. Despite this, she finds herself having trouble focusing on the good.
    Titles
    Time Patroller: Cynthia holds the immense honor of having been inducted into the Supreme Kai of Time's personal elite strike force, responsible for hunting down and eliminating sources of distress to the timelines of the multiverse. This position grants her the immense privilege of free and unlimited access to Toki Toki City and the Time Nest that the City is based around, as well as considerably more multiversal leeway and freedom than most. She also gains the benefits of the collected knowledge and techniques of every sentient race and culture in the entire multiverse, should she choose to exploit them.

    House Balor: Before anything else, Cynthia is a Balor. Her House is small and often outcast in its Clan, but House Balor is nonetheless a proud part of Exile society, and a frequent agitator for the fall of the Masquerade.
    Willpower
    Despite her impressive achievements, Cynthia is plagued by insecurities and self-doubt. Such points of stress would be troublesome in a normal person -- in a Time Patroller, they are very nearly deadly.

    -10 (+10 base, -20 from "Traumatized")
    Power Level
    Cynthia is a Full-Power Super Saiyan with all that implies, and a Golden Oozaru besides. On the galactic scale she possesses the strength to outright dictate terms, and can play comfortably in the intergalactic leagues.

    Base: 375 million.

    SSJ Boost: 750 million.

    Transformed SSJ Total: 1.125 billion.

    Oozaru Base: 750 million (0.5x effective speed, 1.5x effective strength/durability).

    Golden Oozaru: 1.5 billion (0.5x effective speed, 1.5x effective strength/durability).

    Masqued Power Level: 337.5 million
    Defeats
    Orphaning: Cynthia's first introduction to the wider multiverse was the destruction of the Parallel Quest from which she hailed. Everybody she grew up with is more than dead -- they have now never existed in the first place. Her personal traumas stem primarily from this.

    First Transformation: Cynthia's grief-fueled ascension to Super Saiyan in response to her orphaning is a point of shame for her given the rampage she tried to go on immediately afterwards. It has not helped her perspective.

    Broken Bonds: The mission to the Majin Village had its own impact on Cynthia. Her actions in the village, and the argument over the Time Queen and Chronoa afterwards, have strained some of Cynthia's team's relations with her, particularly with Bonny and Mato.
    Victories
    Brawl on Planet Plant: Even when he was at his most antagonistic towards her, even Mato agreed that Cynthia's performance during the mission to Planet Plant was impressive. She successfully held while outnumbered and subsequently fought an equal opponent on level ground. She has earned her credentials as a warrior.

    Her Measure Taken: Cynthia always wondered if she would be able to hold to her ideals when faced with vastly overwhelming power, or if she would buckle under like the vast majority of people throughout history. Now that she has faced Jaffur Vegeta on Ancient Saiya, she knows what she's made of.
    Reputations
    Time Patroller: To those very few who know of the Time Patrol, Cynthia is a figure of respect and awe, carrying with her the weight of the Supreme Kai of Time's words. To those fewer who know only of the Time Queen, she is an existential threat worthy of outright panic.
    Traits
    Historian: By preference, Cynthia is not a fighter. She was actually of rather average strength in her home on Garenhuld, preferring instead to focus on the study of times past. While she has adapted admirably to a warrior lifestyle, Cynthia is most at home poring through old books telling tales eons old. Her position as a Time Patroller has left her in the unique position of being able to meet some of those she has studied. She is ecstatic. Effects: Moderate bonus to all History checks.

    Idealist: Cynthia believes. She has read the histories of Son Goku and Gohan. She has met some of her ancestors in person. She has faced danger on the battlefield, and emerged victorious. She has held in her chest the proof that good can triumph over evil. She believes that people can do good, and that she should. Many words, but when you boil them down...she believes. Effects: Moderate bonus to all actions taken in service to what Cynthia believes to be the cause of good. Experiences constant and moderate vote weighting in favor of such courses of action.

    Traumatized: Between one thing and another, Cynthia is in a very fragile place right now. Severe arguments have her contemplating suicide, and she is prone to breaking down in the face of stressors. This is a wholly detrimental trait, and extremely worrying for her mental health in the long term. Effects: -20 on all Willpower checks. Willpower checks relating to her exact traumas will force a panic attack or immediate and heavy-handed attempts at corrective action (player's choice :evil:) upon failure.

    Rude to Power: Cynthia has shown an almost suicidal disregard for watching her mouth when in the presence of those powerful enough to end her with a fart. Effect: Vote weighting towards blunt or rude responses to those much more powerful than her that Cynthia does not consider a legitimate authority figure.
    Abilities
    Oozaru, Mastered: In pursuit of more power, Cynthia learned how to control herself on the night of the full moon.

    Super Saiyan, Full-Power: In a similar vein, she has fully mastered the Super Saiyan transformation, and is now making efforts to break through to the second level. To be blunt, though, Trunks's description of the emotional agony required scares her a little bit.

    Golden Oozaru: Mastered Oozaru+Super Saiyan=Gold Monkey. The only block there was mental, so Cynthia of course has this, as she's capable of both.
    Skills
    The meat of this Quest, these are your talents and capabilities -- the one thing that always triggers when you have to make an action.
    Non-Combat
    Communication [Unpromising]: Cynthia is somewhat shy and very awkward. Despite her convictions, she has historically had little success in talking people around to her point of view. This has not helped her self-image.

    History [Talented]: Cynthia's area of study, she is well above the curve here. She reliably knows just about everything readily accessible to her on topics of personal interest, and can usually be trusted to have a general overview of any given topic, provided it's not too esoteric.

    Deceit [Poor]: Cynthia is an abysmal liar.

    Masque Affinity [Talented]: Some Balors never use their Masques as a form of protest against the Masquerade. Cynthia has gone the other way, and regularly spent time in her Masque. Even so, until her team was grounded she didn't use her masque at all for a subjective two years. Since their grounding she has spent all her time in the masque, however, and her familiarity with her human form has similarly risen.
    Combat
    Overall Skill: Talented. While you dislike fighting, you've seriously buckled down and made the push to train your abilities past mere competence in all areas. You increase combat skills below "Talented" a little more quickly.
    Hand-to-Hand
    Overall Skill: Competent.

    Dueling [Unlearned]: Cynthia is a practiced fighter, but her style just doesn't lend itself to one-on-one fighting. Her performance is perfectly unobjectionable in this, but also unexceptional.

    Crowd Fighting [Competent]: On the other hand, she has shown a remarkable gift for fending off multiple opponents, despite it being similarly de-emphasized by the Krillin Style.

    Team Fighting [Talented]: Her true gift is here, though; Cynthia absolutely shines when made to work in teams, especially after personal instruction from Krillin himself.
    Ki Manipulation
    Overall Skill: Talented. Cynthia often opts to keep enemies at range in order to maximize her style's advantages.
    Kamehameha [Talented]: A typical technique to all Turtle styles, this attack is versatile and powerful. Cynthia has practiced it accordingly.

    Kienzan [Talented, verging on Exceptional]: The signature technique of the form, the Kienzan is a devastating attack allowing the user to slay people with far higher power levels. Cynthia uses this frequently and well.

    Solar Flare [Talented]: She also makes use of this blinding technique, allowing her to control the range of engagement.

    Instant Transmission [Competent]: Cynthia uses this as a quick-travel method and a rare means of opening the range in a fight, but has not come close to mastering it.

    Light Grenade [Competent]: Light Grenade concentrates an immense amount of energy into a confined space before hurtling at a foe and releasing all of it at once. Such a conflagration going off at skin range tends to cause immense damage even to highly resilient foes.

    Flashbang [Competent]: Learned from Agatha "Vector" Weiss, this is a military refinement of the Solar Flare. Appearing like a normal ki blast, it is actually a Sokidan that can be detonated with blinding light and deafening sound.

    Kaio-Ken [Competent]: Cynthia is able to boost her base power level by up to 5x without trouble. Attempting to Kaio-Ken while super saiyan will come at ruinous cost.

    Enhance Mode [Competent]: A signature technique of Muton Roshi, Enhance Mode lets one dramatically increase their base power level by bulking out. Cynthia can increase her base PL by 1.5x

    Ki Talents
    Overall Skill: Competent. Cynthia knows that there's nothing wrong with her skill with ki.

    Flight [Talented]: An essential means of maneuver to her style, Cynthia has practiced this widely.

    Ki Sense [Competent]: Nothing special here, just the ease that comes with frequent use.

    Ki Control [Competent]: Again, nothing special. Nothing to complain about.

    Telepathy [Talented]: Cynthia practically abuses this on missions for the secure and high-fidelity means of communication it provides.

    Styles
    Krillin [Practitioner]: Cynthia has a solid core of study into this form and has practiced at the feet of her ancestor himself. She should be able to improve her standing yet further with relatively little, if dedicated, effort.

    Goku [Incipient]: Between the Kaio-Ken, the Instant Transmission, and her being the strongest on the team, Cynthia has found herself echoing the style of Son Goku at times.
    Relationships

    Allies
    Carrick Balor [Strong]: Her favorite uncle, the Seer Carrick doted on his niece. He like, everybody else of Cynthia's home universe, is gone now, but she will likely feel deeply obliged towards any recurrences of him.

    Bassoon [Strong]: Cynthia gets along with Bassoon best of anybody in her team, having no real arguments with him other than his general pettiness regarding Super Saiyans. As he keeps it to occasional grumbling, it's not an issue.

    House Balor [Dependable]: Cynthia got on well with her family, but ultimately was a young woman who had moved out of her parents' home, with a long history of clashing with the family faction that preferred to refuse wearing Masques as a point of protest. It was not the closest of bonds, even though it was certainly love. If she ever finds the main timeline from which her universe sprouted, there will be a tearful reunion, and House Balor will likely gain a fanatic protector.

    Bonny [Dependable]: Bonny and Cynthia got along fairly well before the Majin Village Incident. Now Bonny tends to seethe with general irritation whenever Cynthia is nearby. Despite personal friction, however, it hasn't impacted Bonny's willingness to work together, and the mage has even offered to train Cynthia in healing. No active problems. Yet.

    Agatha [Dependable]: It's not that Agatha and Cynthia have a problem, it's just that they aren't particularly close. They both appear to have failed to connect on a personal level. That said, Cynthia is strongly loyal to her team and Agatha is a consummate professional. They watch each other's back when circumstance demands. Recently Agatha stopped Cynthia from committing an atrocity in a moment of forgetfulness, and Cynthia feels strongly indebted to her for this.

    Mato [Dependable]: Cynthia is not aware of it, but Mato is livid with her for her failure to mention FPSSJ to him, and holds her in a great deal of contempt for her views on the nature of the duality between Chronoa and the Time Queen. He hasn't brought it up and won't let it impact his performance on missions, but if relationships were based purely on personal feelings Mato would be down in the Enemies section. As it stands, she is a teammate, and he considers the job more important than personal feuds.

    Chronoa [Dependable]: Chronoa considers the Time Patrol to be her personal responsibility, and Cynthia to be a reasonably reliable agent. Despite that, there's been little personal connection -- something likely not helped by Cynthia's vocal insistence about Chronoa's link with the Time Queen. That said, there have been no hurt feelings expressed.

    Trunks [Dependable]: You help Chronoa. "But that's not an answ-" You help Chronoa.
    Acquaintances
    Karen [?]: ...what is she?

    Majin Lilli [Neutral]: Honestly, given the nature of their introduction it's a miracle that Cynthia is this high in Lilli's estimation.
    Enemies
    Peach Stauber [Serious]: Cynthia and Peach have been at odds for a very long time, they didn't like each other when they met and things have only escalated from there.

    The Enemy [Serious]: Like all Exiles, Cynthia has lived her life in distant terror of this mysterious being.

    Verde Army, Vegal Team [Hated]: Okay, so the members of this team range from cordial to murderous depending on who's addressing who, but overall there's no denying that they are an active, personal, and very immediate threat.

    Verde Army, General [Hated]: Similarly, while the overall body of the Army has yet to reveal itself (possibly), they are obviously influential and well-connected, and possessed of a determination to follow their path further, no matter the costs.

    Inventory
    "Capsule Manufacture: A How To Guide": A book that details how to make capsules, written by Future!Bulma for Trunks' time patrol subordinates. Cynthia keeps it in her apartment in Toki Toki City.

    Krillin Style Combat Manual (Signed): The instructional manual of Cynthia's combat school. It is notable only in that it has been signed by Krillin himself. Cynthia keeps it in her apartment in Toki Toki City.

    Senzu Essence Capsules: A wonder drug with all the properties of a Senzu Bean, these capsules don't go bad or rot if kept out. Cynthia has a pill holder with 10 capsules, which she keeps on herself at all times.

    If it ever comes up in my quest, I'd probably classify it as a shard. It's a wee bit outside the scope of your usual PQ. Up to Nathaniel how it's handled here.

    In fact... @Nathaniel Wolff, if you ever need a plotline, feel free to cross over with my quest! I'm sure we can rustle up an interesting moment or two to jump into...
     
    Name: Drake Irons
    Age: 20
    Race: Human
    Appearance: Tall (nearly 8 feet), dreadlocks, Dark skin, Swimmer's build
    Combat Style: Best described as a blitz + hit-and-run, HE prefers to rush and get as many attacks off as he can before pulling out, leaving his enemy little time to respond to him. Also, uses Ki to create high temperatures to whittle away an opponents stamina.
    Skills: Very good at cooking, and avid reader. Also looking in to magic. Slight pyromania.
    Bio: Raised up hearing stories of aliens with incomprehensible strength, robots capable of leveling cities, Drake was most amazed at the human Krillin for being among there ranks as one of the strongest humans ever. With the bald man as his idol, he has set out to shout all the other races that humans can be strong too.
    Darn, am I too late?

    Well, I'm sure she'll be happy to learn real engineering. If she has the mental stamina to put in the real elbow work at least. Frankly I hope she does, gadgeteer Buu seems like a great concept.
