The current campaign (may not be for the weak of heart or the closed of mind)
In the current campaign: The current campaign (I have yet to think up a name) starts some time during the 5 year lull between DB & DBZ. Everything that has happened during the DB story line still has happened (for the most part).
Cast of characters:
PC's:
Posh: A member of a group of all female
martial artists, The Sakora Babes, who have been taught the
fairly new combat style of Kaimono-Do (roughly translated as the
way of shopping). Taught by the elderly Baagen (Bargain) at an
early age she excelled at all of the exercises that were put
toward her, she then was called to Kami for some special
training. There she met the other two PC's.
Posh is a bit air headed at times, which quite
helps in her pursuit of a good time and partying. She doesn't
tend to back down from a fight, and prefers to look good while in
the midst of battle. Always one to make an entrance with her dark
orange hair, stylish jewelry and the latest fashions it is quite
difficult to overlook her.
Atlantis: (Gaia): Not much is known
about the cat child known as Atlantis. She was separated from her
parents under mysterious circumstances. Finding herself in the
jungles of an uninhabited isle, she had to learn to mimic the
creatures she found there to survive. She was found by Mr. Popo
and brought to Kami's Lookout for special training, where she met
the other two.
Appearing to be nearing adolescents, Atlantis
knows almost nothing about civilization. She doesn't actively
disdain clothing, but no matter what she ends up wearing will end
up becoming tattered and torn through normal wear. However even
if she did not wear anything a light covering of fur and her
overly long mane of violet hair conceals most of what some people
would find interesting.
Crystal Steel: A former scientist of the
Red Ribbon Army, her employment ended the day that Goku
single-handedly dismantled the organization. She is not angered
that the Red Ribbon was taken down, rather she seeks revenge on
Goku for killing her lover accidentally. Knowing that the walls
were coming down she left with what she could and continued her
research, Nanite Cyborging. Finally perfecting it she used
herself as a gunny pig, and began training. Her other goal is to
find the Dragon Balls and wish her lover back to life. She was
called as well to Kami's lookout, for the same special training
Stern and serious in looks as well as action,
Crystal Steel is a firm believer in the merits of technology. She
tends to wear her green hair in a long braid that is reinforced
at various lengths and is weighted at the end; the braid also
doubles as a belt when she is not armored up. To help facilitate
the armor transformation she favors loose tank tops and shorts.
Minor and major powers:
There are a few other powers in my version of the DBZ earth, but for the most part everything that you know is there.
The Red Ribbon Army: Thought destroyed, some activity that has their style has been reported but no evidence has shown that they are still around, Yet....
The Sakora Babes: A school of all female fighters, led by their sensai Baagen, and instructed in the relatively new style of Kaimono-Do, the Babes do everything in their power to keep safe there philosophy: Party, fight, and ensure that you get the best price at the boutiques. They currently have an agreement with the manager of south city's most prestigious mall, Bob, to ensure that no one causes any problems. There is also a legend amongst the Babes, that a Master Shopper would rise amongst them and help save the earth...
The Sakora Babes main rivals: Another school whose name has yet to be given. Their goals seem to be criminal in nature and their headquarters has yet to be found
More to come.
Items that have been introduced:
Nanite Cyborging: A
process, developed by DR. Crystal Steel, that allows or increases
ones awareness of the Ki energy with in them, as well as
improving upon the body. In game terms this dose one of two
things: Allows new characters to become fighters (create a new
character that has a background that they were implanted),
Improves fighters who already have control of their Ki. The
improvements are:
(A fighter that has control over their Ki /new character)
3X / +10 Phy
3X / +10 Combat
3X / +500 P. LvL
2X / 2X Recovery rate
+100 / +100 Increase to the Maximum Gravity
There is a down side, the recipients body is slowly converted so
that only 25% organics remain (the process takes 5 years) but
once the process starts the recipients body becomes dependent
upon them, if, somehow they were removed then the recipient would
die. The nanites are powered off initially, the electrical impulses
of the nervous system, but after the 50% mark they start
syphoning off minute amounts of Ki energy.
To gain the benefits the character first must "armor up" this process causes a sheath of silvery metal (the nanites can be programmed to change the hue) to cover the skin, the metal is banded for greater flexibility, this covers most of the body except the face, over which goes a visor that has a HUD with various vision enhancements (Telescopic, low-light & thermal) as well as a "scouter" feature.
Game Synopsis:
The girls after receiving their year long training went their separate ways. Posh back to South City and the mall that the Sakora Babes have sworn to protect, Atlantis to her jungles, and Crystal to her Lab.
Once back, Crystal started on her plan of retrieving the Dragon Balls, and killing Goku (She figures that her power level is high enough to give it a try) But she realized that she would probably need some help and prepares to track down the other 2 that were training with her (they impressed her)
Meanwhile back in South city, Posh has had her hands full with a small gang of toughs that are causing problems in the mall, this goes on for around a week where she has learned to recognize the "leader", a final attack happens when several toughs show up with heavy automatic weapons, Posh's clothes are shot up heavily but she dose manage to round the gang up, with the exception of the leader.
Crystal finds Atlantis swimming in a pool, and enlists her aid. She tells Atlantis about the Dragon Balls and why she wants to find them. They land and find Posh, Crystal explains to Posh her quest. Posh agrees to help, if Crystal helps her with the problems that the Babes are having. Atlantis marvels at the 'cave' they are entering as Posh talks about getting the both of them make-overs before getting started, at which Crystal fumes at the delay but relents in the end. After an hour they are invited to the Babes HQ for a meeting, Crystal asks why there has never been any one questioning the toughs as to who they worked for. The reason is they are scared of Posh (bullets bounce off of her) and cannot speak while she is around.
Baagen, sends a few of the girls off to search for the location of the Rival School (it is believed that they are the ones that are terrorizing the mall) after which the "leader" announces over the PA system that they are taking over once again, and this time they came prepared for her.
The preparation happens to be in the form of Guido, a giant of a man who happens to have the same Nanite Cyborging implants that Crystal does. Well she goes ballistic (as far as she knew she was the only one to have the implants that SHE designed) and blasts Guido, to no effect. The fight continues in the food court with eventually Guido being thrown through a 'Burger barn's' back wall, wrecking everything in the kitchen. Atlantis then flings her Fire Bird at Guido through the hole, igniting the gas that was leaking, and causing a nice sized explosion in the process.
After recovering, the girls happened to get blown back into one of the other shops, Crystal goes through the roof in a rage to find the pilferer, but no view of him is seen.
To be continued...
