FORUM RULES
1. Respect each other-There is a strict ZERO TOLERANCE policy here. Do not disrespect any of the rp'ers here, and especially do not disrespect any members of the staff. There is to be absolutely NO BULLYING here either. Be nice to one another, and solve your disagreements like adults. Be respectful to one another and you will enjoy your stay here at Ultimate Legacy. Fail to do so, and we won't hesitate to remove you, plain and simple.
2. NO DRAMA-We all deal with it in real life, so why would you want to deal with it here? I mean we all come here to escape the drama of real life for a bit right? If you have issues with another player, please PM a member of the staff and we will try to work it out for you. If it is a member of the Staff you have an issue with, send me a PM and I will work it out.
3. ALL STAFF DECISIONS ARE FINAL-If you don't like a decision we make or a new rule that gets put in, keep in mind that we made that decision for a reason. We aren't going to shoot you down for open criticism, however do not throw a fit just because you don't like a rule or a decision a staff member has made.
4: Site Rating: The site rating is anwhere between PG-13 to R. Meaning yes there will be blood, violence, swearing, and sexual situations, however DO NOT go over the top with it. This is in place due to several people having different tolerance levels when it comes to rp. Do not cyber in the cbox or the forum, as it will result in an immediate ban. If your char is faced with a sexual situation, fade out to black or move forward in time after the act.
5. STAY ACTIVE: Believe me, I understand real life takes precedence over rp, in fact, I encourage you to spend some time with your loved ones. However that doesn't mean you can't come in at least once or twice a week and post, especially if you play a canon char. Activity checks are held the 1st and 15th of every month, so if you fail to post in the activity check, and have not alerted staff that you will be gone for awhile, then you lose your char, plain and simple.
6. OC FACE CLAIMS: All OC's are required to have a face claim, and yes, you can use face claims from your favorite anime, tv show, or videogame. However, just because you have a certain char as your face claim, does not mean you can rp your character as your face claim. For example: Tom has an OC, and is using Naruto as a face claim. Tom is not allowed to act -exactly- like or have any -moves or abilities- Naruto may have. If this is noticed, you will receive an automatic ban.
On the same note, you are not allowed to bring other weapons, moves, or abilities from other materials. For example you can't have Dante as your face claim and bring in Ebony and Ivory, or name two pistols you may have bought Ebony and Ivory. Or you can't have Naruto as your face claim and have your character know Rasengan. No, you may not have your own made up moves that have the same name as anything from outside media. Be a little more creative than that please. If caught, the punishment is an automatic ban.
7. Post Length and Site Level-Ultimate Legacy is an intermediate to expert level rpg. This does not mean we will not take the time to teach you if you are new to rp. However, I do ask that your posts be at least two paragraphs long, and ABSOLUTELY NO one liners. A paragraph is a group of 4-6 sentences minimum.
8. Posting Order-Do not break the posting order. If you have a thread thats titled as open and you have four people join. The joining order would be the posting order. Basically it goes like this: Topic Starter, Second Person, Third person, etc.
9. No harrassing others for posts: Yes, you may have started a topic, however that does not mean you may harrass other rp'ers to join your topic. Everyone is free to join or not join any thread they pleased, unless that thread is for particular characters only.
9b: Stealing someones thunder: Please be respectful of this. If someone started a thread to introduce their new character, do not take the attention away from them by introducing your brand new character. Be respectful and start your own introduction thread for your new char.
10. No "alternate universe" versions of canons: The only thing close to alternate universe we have on here are the Mirai chars, and there's only two of them. Thats all that will be allowed.
10b: OC's related to canons: No you may not have an OC that is related to a canon, unless that OC is an admin approved child of an OC and canon. Meaning, no having Goku's long lost sister show up, or having the son of Gohan and some random chick appear. Canon marriages stick in this game, meaning Goku is married to Chi Chi, Gohan is married to Videl, etc.
10c: Canon and OC relationships: Yes, if your canon isn't married, like say Goten and Trunks, you may have a relationship with an OC. HOWEVER character pregnancies must be granted staff permission and are handled on a case by case basis.
11. Bra/Marron and other minor characters: By all means, have Bra and Marron become fighters if you wish, seeing as they had very minor roles in the series. Just please keep to their personalities. Meaning Bra is just as hot tempered as Vegeta as you saw in GT, and Marron is quiet, yet bossy like her mother.
12: Character Profiles-You are responsible for keeping track of any stat changes and moves/abilities/transformations/etc you have obtained. However, this does not mean staff won't help you if you are confused as to how to update, or just forget from time to time. There is a special spot where you can post what training you've done if you wish for staff to update your profile for you. All you have to do is give us the proper info.
13. Character Limits: You may have no more than four characters, however, until announced otherwise, you may have no more than two canons without permission. If you want a third canon, you have to have at least 10 posts as your second canon, as well as staff approval for the third.
14. Chibi/Adult chars: Okay..to make this as easy as possible on all of us...if you want to rp chars like Goten or Trunks as a kid in on thread, and as an adult in the other, that's fine with me, just specify which age they are in your post. This is done so we don't have to deal wtih four different Goten/Trunks/Gohan's etc running around
15. Travelling to other planets: Okay..basically it goes like this. You are free to start wherever you want, except for Heaven or Hell. However, here's the catch...only Saiyans and a select few others may start with ships. So say you're on Earth and want to go to Namek you need one of the following, a ship, or as an alternative Instant Transmission/Instantaneous movement. Yes, you may ask someone to take you to another planet via that method as well. However, if you don't have any of those techniques or a ship, you're stuck on the planet.
ROLEPLAY RULES
[/b][/center]1. NO GODMODING: Yes, this is a Dragonball site, yes there will be fighting. HOWEVER, there is to be no GODMODING/CONTROLLING ANOTHER PERSON'S CHAR. No power playing either. Basically, do not act like your character is God's gift to the Earth in your rp. Even Goku has his weaknesses. Yes I understand the Z Fighters are powerful, but there will not be -any- overly powerful characters.
2. DO NOT DODGE EVERYTHING YOUR OPPONENT THROWS AT YOU-Be considerate and take a few blows. Don't be the guy that dodges everything. Keep in mind your opponent may be faster than you, so please take stats into account. No I am not saying you have to take everything your opponent dishes out toward you, but be considerate and take a few hits. Get an injury or two, get bloodied up. It's all about respect and having fun.
3: Learning new moves: Of course you may come up with new moves or learn a new one. However doing so takes time. In order to learn a new move you must have two 4-8 training paragraphs of you trying to master that move. If you are an OC trying to learn a canon move, I want to see at least a two page thread of that canon teaching you that particular move, and yourself trying to learn it.
Also keep in mind, you may try your luck by purchasing Capsule A in the shop, however keep in mind the moves are chosen at random. Yes, this also means canons may end up with moves that they normally wouldn't use.
4. Training: Most if not all the areas available for rp have a spot you can train in to get stronger. Please put (Training) in the topic of your thread if you are doing so. Please keep in mind that particular trainings requirements when doing so. If you fail to meet the requirements, you fail that training.
5. Obtaining Super Saiyan and other transformations: Power Level is only part of it, and yes, even canons have to re-earn their Super Saiyan transformations to keep things fair for everyone else. Special Quests or Events will come up that will unlock this transformation for those that have proven ready. Keep in mind most transformations require a set power level, so if your power level doesn't meet the requirements, you may not participate in the event.
6. Death-Yes, there will be death on the forum. Good chars go to heaven, evil go to Hell, while where neutral go, depends on their actions they've taken in their roleplay. However, get permission to kill another persons char. Don't just say you killed them in one blast.
7. Dragonballs: Yes, the Dragonballs are in this game, but they are hidden. If you want to search for one start a topic titled Search for(*insert number of ball and type of dragonball here) Rp out at least two paragraphs of searching and a staff member will pm you on whether or not you found it. If you did, type that you have set dragonball in your inventory.
The types of Dragonballs are as follows:
Earth(Dende)-Summons the Eternal Dragon Shenron who is capable of granting two wishes. However, he will not grant the same wish more than once. You may wish for anythign you want be it a higher power level(he gives no more than a 100,000 boost), no more than 100 free stat points to divide up between your stats. More Zeni(no more than 5000), or some new clothing(state what type in your wish). You may not wish for the death of another persons char, someones char to fall in love with you, or immortality(this is to keep things fair) Once the Dragonballs are used up, they will be stone for one month before returning.
Black Star Dragonballs: These are hidden in a specific location, and if you find them, feel free to use them, however beware the consequence. These Dragonballs will summon Dark Shenron, who will grant you one wish. He will grant the same wish more than once, and unlike Shenron, you may wish for the death of another persons char or you may wish for His limits are as follows:
1. Getting Stronger-No higher than a 300,000 power level boost, and no more than 150 stat points to be divided up amongst your stats.
2. Zeni-No more than 7000 Zeni maximum.
Consequences for using Dark Shenron: After the use of the Black Star Balls, each Dragonball will scatter about, be it the Earth itself, or each individual planet. You will have one month to relocate them and get them all together. Failure to do so in the one month time frame results in the death of your character. (Note: I know in the anime they resulted in whatever planet being blown up, but they were modified for the site use)
Namekian Dragonballs: When all Seven are gathered, they summon the eternal dragon Porunga, who will grant you three wishes. Unlike Shenron, Porunga can bring someone back more than once, and grant the same wish more than once. His limits are as follows:
1. Getting Stronger: No more than a 200,000 Power Level Boost, and no more than 125 points to be divided up amongst your stats.
2. Zeni:No more than 8000 Zeni
8: Challenging for items: Yes, you may get challenged for items in your inventory, such as Dragonballs, or maybe that special item a Capsule gave you or you won in a Tournament...or you just have a vehicle someone may be wanting. Yes, those can be challenged for. You may refuse a challenge, unless it is for a Dragonball. In the case of Dragonballs, you will be required to participate in the challenge. If doing a challenge, both players ante up one item of that persons choice. If you lose, you hand over your item. If you win, you keep your item. Its that simple.
9. Sparring while training: Yes, you may spar while you train. The downside, your minimum requirements for training/quests go up by 1. The plus side..the power level increase given goes up by 1000 and the stat point boosts/point allotment allowance goes up by 5
