[Stats]

Power Level: This is the overall power rating of your character. PL is calculated by adding str, vit, sta, tou, and ki. You will see two numbers on your profile separated by a slash. The first power level number is your power level that you walk around at (this is always 75% of max). The second, is your maximum that you may power up to in battle.

Ki: A characters for ki rating. This is calculated by adding str, vit, sta, and tou. Ki also weighs heavily into power level.

Vitality: Measures battle fatigue from being hit during battles. Each time you are hit, your vitality will drain, thus lowering your power level. Once your vitality hits zero you will be knocked out or killed.

Stamina: Measures battle fatigue from using ki during battle. The more ki you use, the lower your stamina will become, and thus, the lower your power level will get. Once you run out of stamina, any additional ki usage will detract from all your other stats, thus reducing your power level drastically.

Strength: Strength is your characters physical might. Will determine power of physical combos and attacks.

Speed: Determines who goes first in a battle and also determines battle order in group fights. Speed also determines the chances of dodging attacks and your attacks being dodged. If your speed is much greater than an opponent's, you can also do more in a physical combo (see battling page).

Toughness: Determines your resistance to both physical and energy attacks and increases the chances of successfully blocking attacks. +10% base damage reduction gained if your toughness is 25% higher than your opponents strength.

Roleplaying

Since this is a roleplaying game there are roleplaying bonuses awarded to encourage good stories. You may only roleplay on planets that you are actually on, and only in a maximum of two threads at the same time. Whenever you finish a roleplay, you must report it on your character info thread. You may post as many reports as you need to. Roleplay bonuses are tallied and posted on your report thread where you can allocate how to spend for your weekly character update. Remember, when roleplaying you do not have to roleplay the personality of the character you have chosen from the show. For example, you could make Goku evil.

There are three different types of roleplays that you may do while playing the game. Each has their own benefits, but personal roleplaying and saga's are a good way to progress your character.

[Personal Roleplays]
This is a common form of roleplaying. All you must do is create a new topic, or reply to an old one and write a story about your character. It doesn't matter if your character gets beat up or wins a fight. The only limitations you have are to follow the roleplay rules. You are welcome to post as many personal roleplays as you would like each week. You may gain up to 3 roleplay credits per 300 words of each roleplay and you will receive 35 EXP points every time the same thread reaches milestones of 1,000 words. So at 1,000 words you would get +35 EXP, at 2,000 words +70, and so on. Please note that personal roleplays are different from personal sagas in that there is no minimum word count to finish them and you may only CLAIM one personal saga per week for bonuses.

Reward Breakdown:

• 100 words: +1 Rp Credit
• 1000 words: +10 Rp Credit, +35 Exp

[Personal Sagas]
A personal saga is when you create a short series of events that your character takes part in. You will keep posting in a thread until the saga is through. You are limited to completing one personal saga per week. To be eligible for the bonuses outlined below the saga in total must be at least 5,000 words long. This minimum increases by 1,000 words words for each participant in the saga. (e.g. if there are 2 people posting, the bare minimum is 6,000 words, 3 people would be 7,000 words). Be sure to write "Personal Saga" in the topic description so staff are aware it is not a personal roleplay. In addition to gaining one rp credit per 300 words, you will also get a completion bonus once the saga is finished. The numbers in the chart below represent how many words you must personally have written to gain these bonuses:

• 800 words: +200 zeni,+2 DP,+30 all stats,+2 Rp Credits,+25 Exp
• 2,000 words: +400 zeni,+6 DP,+70 all stats,+3 Rp Credits,+70 Exp
• 5,000 words: +800 zeni,+15 DP,+185 all stats,+6 Rp Credits,+175 Exp

These can be combined so for example if you write 7,000 words, you will gain the 5,000 and 2,000 word bonuses combined. The max you can earn from any one personal saga, however, is +2,000 zeni and +1,000 exp.

If your personal saga surpasses 50,000 total word count and has two or more people involved, all bonuses except for zeni and tokens will receive an additional +50% upon completion (rounded up).

If you complete a personal saga alone, you will receive -10% of the completion bonuses. This does not decrease RPC gained. For each member after the second roleplaying in the same thread, completion bonuses will be increased by +10% stats to a max of +20% for 4 players or more. This does not increase zeni or RPC gained.

[Official Sagas]
Official sagas are a major part of the RPG and a great way to increase your stats through participation. When a post is made in the sagas board by one of the staff, it will have the planet of where it happened. The description will tell you the number of slots available for characters left to join. If you are already there, you may decide to drop what you are doing and participate. In this case you may reply to the thread with your introduction roleplay. If you are not on that planet, you may roleplay your character traveling to the spot of the saga. You do not actually have to travel there in this case, so your character might be on Namek but you could participate in the Earth Saga.

To participate you must make an introduction roleplay. In an introduction roleplay you must roleplay your characters arrival into the story. For example, you might roleplay arriving to a city and finding it in rubble. Another example could be greeting characters already involved in the saga.

Please remember that NPCs aren't bound by the same restrictions that playable characters are. They are often strong and incredibly difficult to take on. As such, the group fighting limit of participants does not apply to saga battles.

Fighting

There are 2 types of fighting in the RPG, battles and spars.

[Spars]
A spar is basically like a training fight. Characters cannot die or lose any zeni or items by being defeated in a spar. Generally, you have to be on the same planet to spar someone. Spars can be done in two ways: through chat (AIM) or over the forums. If it is done in a chat, each character takes turns attacking and defending. You should roleplay your attacks and defenses out so that they are no shorter than a sentence but no longer than two or three. Once finished, you should copy the chat log or write a summary of the spar to post on the spars forum. An AIM spar should usually only take about 5 or 10 minutes.

A forum spar is actually done by roleplaying on the spars forum. Although it can take a few days, the benefits are greater. For every 200 words you roleplay in the spar, you will receive 1 RP credit (max 10 RP credit gain). Posts can be no shorter than 100 words each. Each participant needs to write at least 600 words before the spar can conclude, meaning a spar has to be at least 1,200 words long. If your opponent does not reply to your last post within 24 hours, they will forfeit their next post and you may post again. All of the actions of your previous post will be automatically considered successful. If they do not reply in the next 24 hours after that, you will win the spar.

Spars end when one side declares themselves the loser. Both participants should come to a mutual agreement on when to end the spar and who the winner was. You are allowed to spar a maximum of two times per week.

Spar gainages can be found on the training page.

[Battles]
See the How to Battle thread.
