R E D R I B B O N
R E B E L S Team Description
The Red Ribbon Rebels is a band of powerful and skilled martial artists. In some way, they were all at one point affiliated with the now nonexistent Red Ribbon Army. Their goal is to align themselves with one another for there is strength in numbers. This group of humans, aliens, androids and others are known for performing robberies, murders and other crimes against humanity. The RRR aren't all about being evil, though. More importantly, they are a family of beings whom society views as different and dangerous for past association (whether voluntary or involuntary) who find refuge, strength, and protection with others like themselves.
Team Disposition
Chaotic Neutral
Team Leadership
ICly, there is no team leader. The RRR are meant to be equals, more or less, and a leader would upset the balance. OOCly, there is a team organizer - Android 18. I'll update memberships and try to organize RRR Threads every so often. The RRR base headquarters is located just outside of Ginger Town, having been built into the side of a mountain; the location is secluded and almost impossible to find unless you know exactly where you're going.
Team Perks
To join this organization is to be come a member of an alliance of other super powered beings willing to help out when you need it. In addition, the world is tough. A great member of our members will be outcast humans, misunderstood machines, and out-of-place aliens. As a member of the Red Ribbon Rebels, one gains a sense of belonging above all else.
Team Attire
Members are free to wear any outfits and ensembles of their choosing. However, the Red Ribbon insignia must be somewhere visible on them. To wear the RR emblem even after the army was dismantled is a sign of rebellion and the image alone strikes fear into the hearts of everyday citizens of the Earth.
Team Membership [MUST READ]
- If you want to join the ranks of the RRR, do NOT reply to this thread. PM Android 18 stating that you have interest in joining so that she may update this post and keep the thread from becoming cluttered.
- Canons and OCs are both welcome. Canons must have had some tie to the Red Ribbon Army in the original manga and anime. OCs need only to create and expound upon an affiliation with the Red Ribbon army in the history found on their profile.
- Your character may join the RRR no matter what alignment they are, be it good, bad, or neutral. The team's disposition is Chaotic Neutral, but each individual decides how they govern themselves all on their own. (Be warned, you might be viewed by society as evil due to association. It would be up to your character to prove them otherwise.)
- Finally, be willing to work with others well. It's an RP: have fun. Don't get bent out of shape by things that happen ICly between characters - just have fun writing it out.

Android 18 unloaded on Gohan with her kicks and punches and found that the majority of them connected. She didn't care that he was at a disadvantage because of his lack of a limb; if he was bold enough to challenge her, he'd be man enough to stick by it and she'd be woman enough to not hold back.
Finally he jumped backwards, just out of her arm range. "Is that all you have, coward?" She'd missed the part where she exhibited a yellow belly, but she saw no point in responding. Talking through a real fight was useless. Now if she had been toying with him, she'd recite a few quips to get into his head. But now was the time for fighting and calculating. Eighteen didn't panic when Gohan disappeared. Instead, she waited for him to re-appear. There, to the right. Her sensors locked onto a thermal energy coming toward her. Optical Sensors with built in Ki-sense: how did anyone live without such an invention?
18 put up her left hand, effectively catching the incoming knee strike. She was pushed to use quite a bit of force to keep it from driving into her gut. As much smirking as Gohan had done so far, it was finally her turn; Eighteen's lips curled up as she raised her right arm and prepared to elbow Gohan in the face - she had his knee clenched, so escaping this blow wasn't likely.
But then another Power Level (far weaker than the huge mass she could feel moving toward the trio, but this one was closer and therefore more of an immediate threat) was conjured up. Trunks - the only one of these two half-saiyans who seemed to have any sense about him in this situation - began charging and eventually chucking a ki attack toward the both of them. The smirk faded away as Android 18 released Gohan and sped up to higher sky to escape the powerful Flash Bang attack. "Trunks, I thought you were on my side. Stop attacking me and control your friend before he ends up hurt!" she barked out, wanting to know why they were ganging up on her.
And then there was that Power Level, ever growing closer! It easily outmatched her, these two half-saiyans, and probably every life force in West City. Maybe it was time to get out of here and leave whatever was coming to pick its teeth using the bones of one-armed Gohan? Eighteen sure wouldn't miss him.

Q: Is there a bonus for sparring in outside-of-mission threads? Example: Krillin and Eighteen sparred for a total of 6 posts (three from me, three from him). Would we receive, say, +300 to PL each, or would such sparring be considered Character Development and Recreational only?

Android 18 would yawn when the man suggested she should maybe try other things while he prepared himself for combat. For a human, he was strong - she'd give him that. Most men would turn into jello under these conditions, but he was at least still functioning properly. "We don't get paid unless we fight, you know? And I'm not leaving until I get paid." The harsh, sensual, bossy, graceful voice of the blue-eyed cyborg were meant to sound just a little intimidating. Maybe she could rush him and his kinesthetic exercises by letting him know that the longer she was kept waiting, the more ticked off she'd be when it came time to actually engage in friendly combat.

And so it came to pass that they called her out to perform a few tests and tasks at night. "Let's just get this over with so I can go home," she muttered, stepping into the room once again. Twice in one day was asking a bit much of her, she believed, but the pay was good. And as the gravity was increased, Android 18 worked to push her hair behind her ear. The movement that she did at least once ever two minutes or so in a matter of milliseconds took almost eight seconds to complete under this new gravity. Her hair was heavier, and the joints in her elbow were more difficult to move.
"Make your way to the weights at the other end of the room, Eighteen. Please, fly. And once there, perform ten reps for observation." Flying? That would be simple enough. Eighteen tried flying and found it... somewhat difficult. Her batteries we designed to go into restoration mode at night and were to only turn back on in case of emergency. Testing at Capsule Corps didn't constitute an emergency. So basically she was running on half energy; she certainly didn't have this much trouble earlier today.
Curse Dr. Gero.
As she landed near the weight bench press, 18's legs almost gave out. Her knees bent, but she caught herself. She settled in to begin, laying supine on the bench and gripping onto the handlebar. She lifted the weight up off the rack; her scouter told her it weighed 500 pounds. Given the increased gravity, though, it was more like 20,000. The first rep was difficult. The second, difficult. The third, not so much.
And by the sixth one, 18 was cranking the reps out like nobody's business. Her body had easily adjusted well to the gravity and could now work the limit. Okay, Eighteen, you can stop." But she didn't stop. As she disregarded the lab assistant's intercom command, Android 18 went all the way to twenty five before finally placing the weight back on its rack.
Getting up from the bench, flying back over to the entrance/exit was easier than it had been when she was flying to the bench. A ten minute session had resulted in a large power boost for the pretty cyborg and vast knowledge for the CC Scientists.

Slaughter countless people? Why the nerve of that ki- oh, wait, she had murdered countless people.
But that was all in the past! Or so she'd thought. She'd married one of the Z fighters and bore him a child; how more apparent could it be that she'd given up those Red Ribbon army ways programmed into her so long ago? But just as she'd buried those cold, heartless, killing machine characteristics that this boy so feared, Eighteen could easily cause them to resurface. All she needed was one reason. One damned good reason. "I'm stopping you," he said. Not good enough.
Power Level? Hovering around 6,000. He was strong, but she was stronger. And she had the element of surprise too, for he had no way of telling just how powerful she was. Her readings told her a few more things; this one-armed Gohan was different than the two-armed Gohan: their ages varied, and their vital signs just didn't match up. Whoever he was... he wasn't the Gohan that everyone she was acquainted with knew and loved. "You need to be destroyed," he said. Talk was cheap; Android 18 would need more than that.
Whoa, what was that?! An incredible power level had entered the vicinity - it was awfully powerful! But then a sudden pocket of energy in condensed form and much closer to her own person made Eighteen's eyes pop. An attack had been launched at her, so she grunted and kicked upward, sending Gohan's ki attack zooming into the atmosphere to self-detonate and light up the sky, even brighter than the sun itself. Now that had done it. "Big mistake, kid!"
[/color] Android 18 would disappear for a second and then reappear just in front of Trunks, who was trying to play mediator and diplomat for this situation. Could he blame her for wanting to pursue combat? At this point it could be counted as self defense. She dashed at Gohan - zipped through the sky, even - and reeled her fist back. When she reached him, she'd unleash the fury of an eight strike and nine kick combo.[/blockquote][/blockquote][/size]

It was early in the morning. Out in the wilderness, roosters would be crowing as the sun was slowly rising, and the T-Rex would awaken and go hunt for his breakfast. Marron was probably just waking up, wondering what mommy had fixed for breakfast. She'd be disappointed to enter the kitchen to the smell of daddy's failed attempt at nutrition.
Eighteen had to leave early that morning for a lucrative opportunity being hosted by Capsule Corporation. This would keep her busy all day, but the job paid well enough. The scientists wanted people to help them test out the Gravity Room again, except this time there were specific actions to be done. No human had had what it took to complete the job; it was time to call in the big girls.
"Okay. Start it," Number 18 said aloud and her hair, which was slightly frizzy, suddenly fell down hard. The gravity had been turned on. She began to run - sprint, rather - back and forth between the walls of the room. The object of this little task was to see just how fast one could get when put under the pressure of 40x gravity. So far, the Android was holding up good.
On about her twenty-seventh rep, Eighteen hesitated for a second in an effort to take a miniature breather. The smart room and its Artificial Intelligence noticed the slow-down and turned off the gravity, having recorded its findings for posterity. But it turned off the gravity without warning; Eighteen experienced an insane spike in speed and couldn't stop in time and went sailing into the wall, leaving a huge body imprint in its infrastructure.
Peeling herself from the wall, the scientists came in through the door and stared wide-eyed at the dent in the wall. "My bad." The statement, as sincere as it was, sounded incredibly sarcastic. In any case, she had finished for the time-being. An assistant told her to return in twelve hours, and they'd run a night time test.

Stepping into the lab full of eggshell white tile and stainless steel medical supplies, Android 18 would push a lock of hair behind her ear. She was here as a favor to Krillin who was doing a favor to Bulma who wanted to help out her dear old dad. Dr. Brief hadn't been able to develop a useful invention in a while; all of his findings and leads led to dead ends. So the thought on everyone's mind: why not ask the super computer to give a little input?
But there was maybe something people were failing to realize. Android 18 was a byproduct of the Red Ribbon Army. Her creator had been the infamous Dr. Gero. Her input would reflect his ideologies - this would show soon enough. "Well, professor, are you ready to begin?" she asked indifferently before sighing. Stepping forward she followed him as he began to give a rundown on some of his latest flops.
He first showed her a design for a new type of boot. Anti-Gravity boots, actually. The idea behind the product was to train human infants to fly by getting them accustomed to the weightlessness they would experience during flight. The problem? They spontaneously combusted. And when asked if she had any suggestions to solve the problem, Eighteen would coolly reply with, "Let's move on." Obviously there was no solution for crazy.
The next design was a miniature poodle constructed using scrap metal. The dog sat on an elevated bench, slowly putting one foot behind the other. Dr. Brief was about to explain the design when Eighteen cut him short - "No need to explain. I think I see what the problem here is." Bulma had obviously misunderstood just how big of a slump her father was in. These inventions were pathetic.
She began to strut to the big-screen super computer that was mounted to the wall. The holographic keypad materialized as she approached. Dr. Brief stood behind her; he was paying her to help him, so he'd take the backseat and let 18 do her task. "Doctor Briefs, I'm going to be honest with you, those inventions were terrible." The doctor hung his head, whispering "Yes, I know." "If you want an item that people will purchase, it has to be practical and utile."
She began to press away buttons on the keyboard. Her mind was processing some complex formulas and equations, trying to develop a code. A TING- noise was heard and she stopped pressing buttons, reaching into a bin next to the computer and plucking a computer chip and plugging it into a USB port. "You're trying to build something new without giving yourself enough time to think of new ideas. Before putting new things onto the market, try modifying the old ones." A second TING- was heard, and her chip was complete.
Taking it and stepping back over to the mechanical K9, 18 would lift the thing and turn it upside down. Opening up its control panel, she carefully inserted her own design. After placing the dog back down, it practically ran off of the table it was moving so fast. "There, an accelerator chip. If it has a control panel, you can install this chip. Toys, cars, spaceships... even Androids." She looked over to the president of Capsule Corp as he inspected her work on the computer screen. Everything seemed to be in order, all right.
Accelerator Chip!-when installed in Androids, it provides +15 to speed stat. -when installed in space travel vehicles, it cuts travel time by one-third. [/blockquote]

While glancing at one-armed Gohan through her rear view mirror, Eighteen could feel the spike in his Power Level as he raced to pass over her hover car and place himself in front of her. "What is he doing?!" she asked herself. There would be no way she could stop in time - she'd end up running over the fool! Or so she thought. A powerful force was exerted on her back bumper, causing her car to stop abruptly and sending her forehead flying into the steering wheel. If it left a bruise, there'd be hell to pay.
"You two better have a damned good explanation for this!" Android 18 was now exiting her car, slamming the door closed as she made her way out. Even without her behind the wheel, the thing stayed levitating. "Well? Start talking!" she demanded, staring down the one-armed Saiyan. Trunks didn't seem to know what was going on, but Gohan made it very clear that he was up for a fight and willing to issue the challenge. After this little stunt, Eighteen would be more than happy to oblige.

Stepping out of her hover car, Android 18 would push her hair behind her ear. Her blue eyes were already bring amplified by the beautiful white snow, but the name-brand blue winter coat she wore accented it even further. Footsteps in the snow were all around her - she set out, adding her own signature to those left behind by others.
So her fears (or were they her dreams) had been realized. Minions of Satan himself had escaped hell. There was talk of strange aliens that once wreaked havoc upon the world suddenly rearing their ugly faces again. Eighteen just knew that the only reason no one had mentioned her brother yet was because he stood in with the human crowd: black hair, blue eyes, and fashion sense to boot. But she knew he was back on the Earth thanks to someone demented person's ill will and evil wishes.
After finding the Two-Star ball and sharing it with her husband, Eighteen expressed that just one ball wouldn't do. When she believed it was only her brother who'd come back, the plan was to make sure that he couldn't get all of the dragonballs. Now that it was known that more villains had returned, the idea was to ensure that a majority of the dragonballs rested in the hands of good. In a time of peril it would mean a decreased amount of time that would need to be spent searching.
As her sensors picked up on something, 18 headed that way. The quicker she found that ball, the quicker she could make it home to the warm tropics of Kame Island.

Android 18's mouth snarled up after she delivered the mighty ax handle that had been too fast for Krillin to evade (this time, anyway). With a bird's eye view, she watched him go crashing down into the sand. His touchdown on Kame Island was shortly followed by a sand plume that reached at least eight feet into the air.
Just then, her bottom jaw dropped. “Is that all you got!?” Now he she knew that he knew that there was much more to be had where that came from; Android 18 was programmed to dish out ass-whoopings after all. But she found something... dare we say, attractive in his defiant streak. "That's enough for today," she declared as she dropped out of the sky and landed gracefully on the shores of Master Roshi's island.
Walking up to the front door and right past her husband, Eighteen dared not look at him. Eye contact at this point might force her to attack again; as cute as Krillin's last words had been, a challenge was still a challenge. "What would you like for lunch... dear?" Her steps ceased. Slowly turning her head ninety degrees just so that her soul mate could view her profile, 18 awaited an answer to her question.
Destroyer of the Earth in one timeline; lunch chef in this one.
