TMNT/DBZ Crossover RPG

[ladygarth]

I want to start yet another RPG.This will be mine and I want to do crossover with Dragon Ball Z characters and Ninja Turtles as I like both Ninja Turtles and Dragon Ball Z. Hopefully there are also people out there that like both. Maybe people can have a Ninja Turtle Character and a DBZ character. Original character are fine too. So there could be a combonation. I'll be Goku.

I'd have to think of a storyline for it. Maybe something where the Turtles somehow end up on Dragon Ball Earth and meet the DBZ characters and through in Turtle bad guys and made up ultra-strong bad guys and something involving the Dragon Balls. Maybe diffrent people looking for them both bad or good or in between.

[azure turtle]

Hmm... I'm interested. I don't think I've ever RPed as a DBZ character before. I'll have to wait until I'm certain who I'd like to RP as, though.

BTW, how far into the DBZ universe are you going to set this RPG? In other words, will Gohan be in high school, with Goten and Trunks being kids? Or are we going earlier than that, where Gohan is just a kid and Goten and Trunks don't exist yet?

[ladygarth]

I was think of starting it earlier. Maybe during the three years of training between when Goku gets back from Namek and the Andriods Saga. So Goha would be a kid.

[Nturtle]

hmmm... I saw this thread and I'm intrested, although I've never RPed before, I get the basic idea of what it is, I read a little of one and i was in the popcorn thread (but that was mainly sillyness!! :evilgrin: ) one problem is though that dbz characters are REALLY strong, the turtles have realistic strenghth like they can't blow up a planet and flatten a mountain with thier fist or a huge ki blast, so its really conflicting in that sence

[DarthRaphael]

I have an idea on how the TMNT could end up on a DBZ planet.

The basic idea is to have the TMNT in a battle in the technodrome, have krang open a portal to another world, and force the TMNT through it somehow. A possible RPG storyline could be where the DBZ characters help build/find another portal to send the TMNT back through.

I was actully thinking of something along the lines of that. The turtles don't have to necessarily end up on DBZ Earth, maybe they could end up on New Namek or something.

I know the DBZ characters are VERY strong. Maybe there could be an ultra strong bad guy/guys that are too powerful for the Turtles to handle so the DBZ characters are involved. Meanwhile maybe the Turtles deal with Shredder or Krang. Maybe Krang can find out about the Dragon Balls and want them for himself to wish for something really evil.

[Nturtle]

hey thats a good idea!!!!!!! :D or the technodrome could be warped into the Dbz world with TMNT inside of it!!!!!

[ladygarth]

hey thats a good idea!!!!!!! or the technodrome could be warped into the Dbz world with TMNT inside of it!!!!!>

That's a good idea. Maybe we can use a combonation of both. Krang opens up apotal to send the turtles through but the whole Technodrone gets sucked in the portal with everyone inside.Maybe DBZ world wasn't where Krang intended to send them. Maybe something can go wrong and they end up in DBZ World.

[azure turtle]

Ooh... All of those ideas could work! 'Kay, I'm interested. Let me know when we're going to start, and what background story we're going to use. :D

[Nturtle]

Yeah let me know too!!! I got dibs on Piccolo!!!!! :evilgrin:

[ladygarth]

I'll post the backround soon.

[Nturtle]

ok *has some cream of wait*

[azure turtle]

*eyes the cream of wait warily*
I think I've had too much of that stuff already...
*decides to eat a mango of patience*
:D

[Machias Banshee]

PUt some mango into the cream of wait!

[ladygarth]

Here it is:

Background: While battling at the Technodrome, Krang opens a portal to a dimension to send the Turtles through. During the battle something goes wrong and the entire Technodrome gets sucked through. They wind up in an unknown dimension that wasn’t even the one Krang wanted. They arrive on another planet called Earth that’s similar to the one they came from but it’s not the same one. This one is much more technologically advanced and had dinosaurs on it (It’s Dragon Ball Earth).

(Where you guys want to start it and how is up to you. Maybe the Turtles can find a Dragon Ball and wonder what it is.)

It is a year after Goku got back from Namek and was warned by Trunks about lethal androids that would be showing up so everyone is training so they can battle them.

[azure turtle]

Coolness! We have a background story! I guess I don't need any mango cream of wait. ;)

So who's going to RP as who?

[ladygarth]

I'm going to be Goku and NTurtle wants Piccolo. We still need peole to play the turtles, Shredder, Krang, Bebop & Rocksteady, ultra stong badguy or badguys and there's still the other Z character. We don't need all the Z character just some. I would be nice to have at least the main Z characters.

[azure turtle]

Dibs on Michelangelo!! :D If no one else steps up for the Z Warriors, I can play Krillin, too.

[Nturtle]

*puts down his mango cream of wait* cool!! yeah if you need any double parts I'll take it!! As for the ultra strong bad guy... hmmm... oh I've got a cool idea!! Piccolo Daimao had 2 kids before he blew up, the other demon, (you pick the name) has trained to becoming even stronger then any of the Z fighters!! Hows that for the bad guy? (I'm a piccolo fan!!!) :P

[ladygarth]

How about Nart?

[tmntfreak]

Vegeta and Raphael

[Nturtle]

Nart? for a name? ok sounds good what do you think Azure?

[azure turtle]

Sounds good to me... But I'm suddenly reminded of Narf from ThunderCats. :embarass:

[Nturtle]

:lol: :lol: :lol: I didn't see that one coming!! or maybe Narfil :P

[ladygarth]

Either one.

character list(so far): Ladygarth : Goku
Nturtle: Piccolo
Azure: Michaelanglo/Krillin?
tmntfreak: Raphael/ Vegeta


I can also play some of the female DBZ characters like Bulma and maybe Chichi.

[azure turtle]

All right then... I guess I can do double duty as Mikey and Krillin. I'll jump in as soon as the RPG starts.

[Nturtle]

well if no one wants him I'll double with Shredder, but just in case no more people want to join

[ladygarth]

okay, that's fine/ We can start whenever everyone is ready. We can just start posting here or create a new topic.

[enigma-1]

I may join in later. Just don't expect me to do Chichi or Bulma. I can't stand them

[azure turtle]

I think you should start, ladygarth. You're RPing as Goku, right??

[Nturtle]

right, ok Enigma, I don't think Chi-chi or Bulma ar entirely nessicary! :P although we need people for the other turtles splinter and the baddies!!

[enigma-1]

Hmm. Do you prefer deathly insane by power or just egomaniac?

[Nturtle]

well hes from Piccolo's family, I was thinking more deathly insane by power :P I figure he wants to countinue his father's legacy like Piccolo originally wanted to do.

[enigma-1]

Hmm. I don't normally do male chars, but I'll try this time. Guess I can make a cross or something. I'll see what I can do.

[Nturtle]

well do whatever you want really, you could always be April or #18 if you don't want to be a male char

[ladygarth]

Or Egnima can always be an original character. Maybe a female Saiyan who wasn't on Planet Vegeta when it was destroyed.

[enigma-1]

True. If I did that, then it means I could use a char I've had for awhile but never found a purpose for.

[Nturtle]

oh yeah that a cool idea!! hey what exact tome period are we staring from?

[heretic888]

Hi, im heretic888 and this is my first post, so listen up.....

If the turtles and z fighters were to have some sorta crossover (whether rpg or fan-fic), we'd have to take several things into consideration.

The biggest issue is, of course, the seemingly dramatic differences in 'power levels' between the two 'universes'. I mean, Goku can blow up figgin planets with a kamehameha so that seems to leave our turtles at a bit of a disadvantage (needless to say, fighting would take place at SOME point)!!! But, let's look at all this logically and realistically. Yamcha and Krillin (and possibly Tien), 'normal' humans in DBZ, are capable of flying, moving at incredible speeds, and projecting energy blasts of immense power!! Yet, in TMNT, the 'normal' humans are limited by the same laws of physics that we are in our real world. Why is this?

I propose a theory: Ki does exist. Ki is the bio-electric energy within all living creatures, both static and kinetic. It is essentially electromagnetic and polarized in nature. Because of this, the electropolar forces of the Earth and the universe have an influence on the personal energies of individuals. Thus, the electromagnetic forces that govern the Earth and universe in the DBZ 'dimension' must be immensely more powerful than the ones the TMNT expereince! Thus, mere mortals are capable of the 'supernatural' in DBZ!!!

Where does this leave us: well, if the z fighters were to enter into the turtles' 'universe' it would cause them a tremendous DECREASE in power and ability. But that would be boring. Rather, i propose that the turtles somehow enter into the DBZ earth. The resultant would be a POTENTIAL for the Turtles to reach ENORMOUS levels of power and ability!!! Perhaps they could even achieve something along the lines of their equivalent of a Super Saiyan or Super Namek!!! Remember, the Turtles have an extensive martial arts history and ninjutsu has a very strong internal/esoteric component to it. The creative possibilities here are very interesting...

In addition, I would suggest utilizing a version of the Turtles similar to the original Mirage form. In the old comics, there was much more of an emphasis on martial arts training and martial philosophy and culture which would fit in with DBZ much better. The Turtles in the old comics also occasionally evidenced 'supernatural' martial arts abilities that was rarely seen in the other formats. I believe the Mirage Turtles would more effectively be able to adapt to a DBZ universe. Who knows what they could accomplish in the 'Hyperbolic Time Chamber'?

It would also be interesting if the individual Turtles had unique and various transformations and unique speciality techniques... possibly drawing upon the Tournament Fighters video games or the "Super Turtles" anime as a source material.... I foresee something as basically the Mirage Turtles overlayed with elements and tones from the Tournament Fighters video game and Super Turtles anime..... this could incorporate both 'super transformations' and 'fusion techniques' AND 'specialty techniques' and 'ultimate attacks'. We have all seen the manga styled artwork in the snes tournament fighters instruction booklet. Just some potential ideas.

I would also hope that the dragonballs dont play that much of a role in the story. Too many times they act as a crutch to get the characters out of some deep ****. I think it would be interesting if the dragonballs helped revive a deadly enemy that threatens both worlds or if the dragonballs somewhoe brought the turtles to dbz earth... but the dragonballs should only be featured at the VERY beginning or VERY end of the story (or both).

Thats all i got for now... what do you guys think???

[Kali]

*smirk* Well, I liked the theory on the different physics of the TMNT and DBZ universes. I'm sure the players will take the advice in mind when they get back to the RP.

[heretic888]

anybody else got some comments on my ideas here???

[Jade Green]

I like the proposal

I'll jump in, but I'm going to use my own patened character if thats okay.

Name: Roum Vappoj
Race: Kama-jin
Eye: Violet
Gender: Asexual/female
Age: irrelivant.
Hair: Blue
Skin: Green
Hieght: 5'4"
Ki Level: 100,000 (thats weak compaired to the Z team)
Other:
Kama-jins look almost like Namekians with a few differences:
They have a womanly figure, HAIR, their arms aren't wringled...
Like nameks, they have the pointed ears, patches and antenae.
Clothing:
Very Namekian in character, Roum wears a black top and violet gi-slacks along with Namekian-like shoes and a hooded cape.
History:
Roum is a wanderer, a scientist and a fighter... her reason for coming to earth? It is not because of the powers that she detects, but of the Spacial Turbulace (hint, hint, way for turtles to come in!) that her computer detects.

[ladygarth]

Those ideas are intresting except that we already started the RPG with the Technodrome being sent through a portal that Krang opened up. Could your theroy also apply to bad guys? Maybe Shredder or Krang could develop some sort of Super power.

[Jade Green]

actually, I think it should apply to them... that would be more interesting... a new threat to the Z Team and an old threat gets worse for the TMNT
and poor Roum stuck in the middle of it just cause'.

[heretic888]

yes, the power 'boosts' should apply to all beings in a realistic type universe that enter the dbz universe. I doubt krang would have the training and discipline to develop any ki, however. But, Shredder is a strong possibility.

I am thinking of starting my own tmnt/dbz rpg (separate from the one already being done) and/or fan-fic once a organize my thoughts and get the rules down. I would prefer Mirage tmnt and characters going to z world however. Just my preference.

If i do get down to doing the rpg, however, I am calling Mirage-version Michelangelo. Heh heh.

later.

[ladygarth]

I'll be Goku :)

[heretic888]

Alright, you're Goku thats cool. I am only going to play as Michelangelo because I think I will have difficulty playing multiple characters and staying 'in character'.

If we are really gonna do this, we need to settle a few things.... when during the DBZ storyline is this going to take place? When during the Mirage TMNT storyline is this going to take place? Which characters from both universes are going to be involved? How are we going to shape the basic plot of the story??

Personally, I think this should take place for the DBZ characters during the three year period in which they prepare for the androids. This enables the greatest degree of flexibility and freedom for the characters, i beleive (only Goku and Vegeta and adult Trunks are Super Saiyans at this point).

For the TMNT, this should take place immediately after volume 2 (note: there is a 10 year vacuum between volume 2's ending and Peter Laird's new TMNT comic series). The turtles should be somewhere between 18 and 22 years old (ideally).

I would like the story to basically revolve around the major characters from DBZ (Goku, Gohan, adult Trunks, Vegeta, Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, Yamcha) and the major character from TMNT (Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello, possibly Casey Jones, April, Karai, and Splinter). Renet could possibly figure into the story as well, with her 'time and space magic' having something to do with the dimension hopping.

Although original characters CAN be used, i would prefer it if this was kept to a minimum. This should, on the whole, be an interaction with the major established characters from both universes.

I think we should use an original villian of some kind. Someone or something possibly having something to do with Renet and/or 'time and space magic'. Shredder could also be brought in at some point via the dragonballs. The dragonballs should play a key role in the story, albeit a background reference. Karai could have something to do with the Shredder's revival as well (although I would like to keep the Foot out of this, excluding Karai that is). We could even consider having the villian use the dragonballs to revive some dangerous DBZ villians (such as Frieza). I think it would be cool if a martial arts tournament was involved somehow as well (sorta like the Cell Games).

Well, what do you guys think? Any other suggestions????

[ladygarth]

The thing is that I'm not all that familar with the Mirage storylines. The timeline you suggested in the DBZ timeline would be perfect. That's when I set my RPG for the reason you gave. I wanted at least Goku to be a Super Saiyan. Maybe Raditz and/or Nappa could be revived. Or Frieza.

[heretic888]

i can give you a brief summary of the Mirage storyline or answer some questions if you want....

[Jade Green]

Or we can have it a bit more loose than that, Heretic, if you don't mind.
(not that it really matters, I'm only playing Roum as of yet... and maybe Gray later on.)

[heretic888]

well, it doesnt really matter concerning the tmnt storyline.

all you gotta know is that the shredder is dead, karai has united the foot and has made peace with the turtles, and the turtles are very, very deadly and willing to kill to defend themselves or protect others.

i chose mirage more for the characters than the plotline. the mirage tmnt characters are just badass.

*shrug* okay, then no krang then... buuut, the one that was started has Krang... Krang's Species is in the mirage storyline, right? *remembers reading about the Tri-whatevers that the TMNT met after being transported to another part of the universe when trying to save Splinter from the brain things*

[heretic888]

yes, you could play as a 'corrupt' Ultrom (the name of the species) and name him Krang if you wish.....

[Jade Green]

*shudders*
I don't want to be a Ultrom! Yuck! NO thank you! I'll stick to the genderless/female Kama-jin thank you very much

[heretic888]

alright, your call. :lol:

do you have any suggestions about how we should flesh out the story??

[heretic888]

bump.

any more ideas guys???

[Jade Green]

Well, we could start over, you know make it more structured so we know who's playing whom, How the turtles get there, how (if they're in it) Shredder and co., and so on.

[heretic888]

im thinking about maybe putting the dbz characters in right after the Buu saga (considering its about to finish up on cartoon network anyway) and the TMNT right after volume 2 (considering we dont really know to much about the volume 4 universe)........

I would like to put Shredder in as a 'suprise villian' that no one really expects..... he would probably be revived by the dragonballs by the regular villian..... i was thinking of having a very powerful dbz and/or tmnt villian or group of villians that revives many of both universe's major villian via the dragonballs (Cell, Frieza, Cold, the androids, Nappa, Raditz, Ginyu Force, evil Buu, Shredder, and maybe Savanti Romero or Juliet).

what do you think???

what do you think???

Good idea, but could we start over, ne?
And I'm not good at any of the ones you've mentioned... I could prolly do a good Ginyu Force Member... like the frog or the orange guy. (just can't remember thier names at the moment.)
But I'd like to put in my own race too. The Kama-jins. THink Nameks but FEMALE in appearance and all. Yes, the two races Are connected, but tha was thousands of years ago and both races literally forgot about the other.
I'll explain more later.

[heretic888]

the frog was Captain Ginyu and the orange guy was named Jayce. you dont HAVE to play as them, these are just potential ideas.

i have no problem with your race coming in. use them at will.

and i was planning to start my own, separate tmnt/dbz rpg thread from the one already being done........ this time with the mirage tmnt (right after volume 2, with the turtles being around 18-22 years old) being primary. i would also still like this to take place after the Buu saga, so that we will have access to as many characters as possible.

Perfectly fine by me, but I know very little about the buu saga. I don't have cable either. So there fore, I'll stick to Roum

[heretic888]

alright. i was only planning on playing as one character, as well.

[Jade Green]

You start the fun, and I"ll jump in. People say I play a pretty good Chi Chi and Bulma.

[heretic888]

alright i'm about to start it up, i guess. here are some ground rules or general suggestions or whatever:

- The TMNT side of the story takes place within the Mirage 'universe'.
- The TMNT are approximately 20 years old, a year or so after Volume 2 of the Mirage series has ended. The Image series never happened.
- The DBZ side of the story takes place just after the conclusion of the Buu saga, so that we will have access to as many characters as possible.
- The dragonballs will be used by the villian(s) relatively early on in the main story, and so the heros will not have access to them for a year.
- When a character with some form of mind/body harmony training from the TMNT universe enters the DBZ universe, they will receive a dramatic increase in power and ability. This power increase is GRADUAL, and will not happen all at once.
- Any and all new characters or races will be allowed, provided they fit in with either universe (in other words, no cartoon TMNT 'universe' characters allowed).
- Try to stay in character.
- The emphasis is on action and/or comedy, and not romance (although some will be allowed).
- I will play as Michelangelo.

There we go, lets get started!!

[ladygarth]

Maybe it can start a year after the end off Majin Buu. I havn't seen the end of DBZ yet, I watch it on Cartoon Network, though I've head some things about it. Don't they use the Dragon Balls sometime at the end of of Majin Buu to bring back the people to life that Majin Buu killed. If we start a year later, it would give the Dragon Balls time to revive. Just a suggestion, or maybe two years.

[ladygarth]

Oh, I'll be Goku !!!!

[heretic888]

yes, that sounds like a good idea. its about a year or two after the Buu Saga has concluded.

Alright. So far, I am Mike, ladygarth is Son Goku, and jade green is her Kama-jin character (and maybe Chi Chi and Bulma).

Anyone else???

[Jade Green]

Meh... I can play Graysight too, don't know how I'll pull her in though.

[heretic888]

alright, your choice.

BUT WE NEED MORE PLAYERS!!!! ANYONE?!

[Jephael]

Now it's starting to sound interesting. If it's cool with you dudes, I'd like to play Gohan and Donatello.

[Jade Green]

Great, another player! *woots*
We need MORE! Some one to be PICCOLO!!!
*dances*
(sorry, sugar rush)

[Jephael]

Hey if we're using the TMNT from the Mirage universe, do you think we could use Renet? That would help explain how the turtles end up in that world (that and I think Renet is a babe :twink: ).

[Jade Green]

Hey if we're using the TMNT from the Mirage universe, do you think we could use Renet? That would help explain how the turtles end up in that world (that and I think Renet is a babe :twink: ).

Maybe that could be used as the same reason for Graysight... *grins*

[heretic888]

good idea. hadn't thought of that one. of course, we would still need someone to play as Renet.......

[heretic888]

ahem?

[Jade Green]

I'd play Renet, but I know nothing about or or even what she looks like

[Kali]

If you're tight for a player, I'll be Renet. I know enough about her character and have passing knowledge of both universes.

[Jade Green]

If you're tight for a player, I'll be Renet. I know enough about her character and have passing knowledge of both universes.

Okay, theres you... and me and Heretic and Lady garth... ( I think)

we set? or not?

[Jephael]

Wait, if I'm playing Don then who's playing the other turtles?

[Jade Green]

Wait, if I'm playing Don then who's playing the other turtles?

Good question...

Heretic is Mike and... no one is Leo or Raph.

[Slasher]

I can be 1 of the turtles :thyper:

[heretic888]

Well, Mike and Don have already been called..... so do you wanna be Raph or Leo??

[Slasher]

Well my favourite turtle has always been leo so i want to be LEO! :D

[heretic888]

ok, so we have the kama-jin, Mike, Goku, Don, Leo, and possibly Renet, Chi Chi, and Bulma.

anyone else??

[Jephael]

Don't forget that I also want to play Goku's older son, Gohan.

[Slasher]

Oh yeah im Leo (Laughing at everyone) im leo im leo im leo yeah yeah yeah im leo im leo im leo yeah yeah yeah im leo im leo some1 should be Cell so we can beat him

like a car that drives over a tomato)


SPLAAAAAAAAT! :lol:

[Slasher]

Can i be some dragon ball character insteed?


Like Trunks hes my favourite character in db series :roll:

[heretic888]

you can be both Leo and Trunks if you wish. do you want to be kid trunks or adult trunks??

[Jephael]

Hey I was just thinking, if he's Trunks could he also be Goten since the two know how to perform the fusion?

[Slasher]

Adult trunks

[Jade Green]

Adult trunks

You mean Future Trunks. You can be him and Leo if you want.

I'm Bulma, Chichi (but they're minor charactes in my view), Roum (her 'appearance' is something I have yet to decide on--will explain later), and maybe Graysight.

[Slasher]

Nah i whant to be big and small trunks! :D

[heretic888]

i dunno how we're going to fit BOTH trunks's in the story..... hmm, maybe its a year or so after the Buu saga and future trunks comes to help out with some huge villian......

[Slasher]

Maybe

[Jephael]

Sounds good to me. Now I also want to be Future Donatello from the Archie series (if it's possible)

[heretic888]

well, we are playing Mirage tmnt, you know....

[Slasher]

Eh... Let him be Future Donatello :D

[heretic888]

no, i dont think so. if we start mixing characters and histories up, things will get too complicated.... besides, somone is already playing as a Donatello.

[Jephael]

Well I am the same guy playing Mirage Donatello and Gohan, but whenever time travel gets involved I can't help but think about the Future Don from the Archie comics. Though I guess the Mirage universe would be better for this kind of story.

[Slasher]

Someone else has to be leo im going to be future trunks :wink:

[Jade Green]

Someone else has to be leo im going to be future trunks :wink:

UGH! You can be BOTH Slaher

[Slasher]

Okay

:lol:

[hazlov2004]

ok since im playing my self created charicter amy i might as well be raph in this one neat huh

[hazlov2004]

ok im my self created charicter amy in this one to yay yay yay im raph and my self created charicter amy yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jephael]

I hate to burst your bubble there, but this thread's been discontinued for about 15 months now.

[Ryona]

This RPG sounds interesting. Maybe it should be restarted again?

It could be fun.

^_^

[hazlov2004]

yep

[Ryona]

Well, I guess I'll take responsabilty for this thread from here on.

We got plenty of newbs now, and the veterans here can play if they want.

I'll wait for some responses before I dig this thread out of the grave.

[heretic888]

*shrugs* Sure... I'm game. Don't recall ever mounting enough interest in this one, though.

[hazlov2004]

im playing my chericter amy

[Ryona]

Alright, We got three players now.

heretic888, I'm glad you're here to play. You seem to be very knowledgeble in the Martial Arts.
I'm reposting a post you put up before because it works perfectly and beautifly with the DBZ/TMNT cross-over universe.

So, players, please read the following...

Where does this leave us: well, if the z fighters were to enter into the turtles' 'universe' it would cause them a tremendous DECREASE in power and ability. But that would be boring. Rather, i propose that the turtles somehow enter into the DBZ earth. The resultant would be a POTENTIAL for the Turtles to reach ENORMOUS levels of power and ability!!! Perhaps they could even achieve something along the lines of their equivalent of a Super Saiyan or Super Namek!!! Remember, the Turtles have an extensive martial arts history and ninjutsu has a very strong internal/esoteric component to it. The creative possibilities here are very interesting...

In addition, I would suggest utilizing a version of the Turtles similar to the original Mirage form. In the old comics, there was much more of an emphasis on martial arts training and martial philosophy and culture which would fit in with DBZ much better. The Turtles in the old comics also occasionally evidenced 'supernatural' martial arts abilities that was rarely seen in the other formats. I believe the Mirage Turtles would more effectively be able to adapt to a DBZ universe. Who knows what they could accomplish in the 'Hyperbolic Time Chamber'?

It would also be interesting if the individual Turtles had unique and various transformations and unique speciality techniques... possibly drawing upon the Tournament Fighters video games or the "Super Turtles" anime as a source material.... I foresee something as basically the Mirage Turtles overlayed with elements and tones from the Tournament Fighters video game and Super Turtles anime..... this could incorporate both 'super transformations' and 'fusion techniques' AND 'specialty techniques' and 'ultimate attacks'. We have all seen the manga styled artwork in the snes tournament fighters instruction booklet. Just some potential ideas.

I would also hope that the dragonballs dont play that much of a role in the story. Too many times they act as a crutch to get the characters out of some deep sh**. I think it would be interesting if the dragonballs helped revive a deadly enemy that threatens both worlds or if the dragonballs somewhoe brought the turtles to dbz earth... but the dragonballs should only be featured at the VERY beginning or VERY end of the story (or both).

Thats all i got for now... what do you guys think???

[heretic888]

Heh. I actually remember writing that, too.

Damn, was my punctuation bad. :P

[Jephael]

I can still play as Donatello and Gohan if you want.

[Ryona]

No prob'. I guess I'll take Leonardo and Yamcha.

^_^

[heretic888]

Once again, if this does finally get started, I will play Mirage-style Michelangelo (red bandana, not an idiot, amazingly skilled Ninpoka, the works...).

Of course, I will probably integrate elements from the likes of Tournament Fighters, too. :D

[hazlov2004]

ok let`s get this rp started!

[Ryona]

Ok. Let's see... i think it should take place at the beginning of the Freiza Saga, but an alternate version. This means that Nothing is going acording to the series. All the Dragonball fighters that died in the Saiyan Saga didn't die in this version. Also, instead of the Frieza saga taking place on planet Namek, it will be on planet Earth (Freiza and his crew are after the Earth Dragonballs).


Krang has stumbled opon rare information in Dimension X.
He has learned of seven mystical orbs that exsist in an alternate dimension to that of Earth's. Krang now knows of the incredible potential of the Dragonballs.

To make a long story short.... The turtles end up in the Technodrome, combating Krang, Shredder and others. The Technodrome portal was openned during the fight and something bizzar happened... The technodrome along with everybody inside was sucked into the DBZ universe, somewhere on Earth.

[heretic888]

((ugh....

Explain to me why Michelangelo's power level is lower than Raphael when he has creamed him consecutively in sparring sessions?? And Krang's is 140,000?? Ummm.... ok.

Shredder's is almost twice Leo's despite the fact that Leo cut his head off [albeit with extreme difficulty]?? Leo's level is 50,000 higher than Mike despite the fact that he was only able to do slightly better than him in one-on-one against the Shredder [see issue 1]??

And should I even mention the RPG stats of the characters??

Come to think of it, if this is going to be based on the old cartoon universe, I think I'll just bow out. I'm the one that originally came up with this idea, and this was most definately not what I had in mind....))

[Ryona]

Sorry about some of those numbers. I changed some of them.
As for the TMNT cartoon theme, I thought it could be a much darker version closer to Mirage Studios.
But if you think it's best to have them based completly on the Mirage universe, than that's ok by me. :)

Please let me know what you think and I'll make the appropriate changes.

^_^

[heretic888]

Hrmmmm.... well, when I started the thread, I was planning on basing the RPG prinicpally --- although not exclusively --- on the Mirage TMNT (but in the DBZ universe).

Specifically, as I pointed out later in the thread, I wanted to put the TMNT-based characters just after Volume 2 (when the Turtles were around age 18 to 19) and the DBZ characters just after the Frieza Saga (during the 3 year interim before the Cell Saga). Of course, all of that can be subject to change.

I'll have to think over the power ratings, and give you my ideas later.

G'night.

I really like this idea you have, Ryo. I know Heretic wants it to be Mirage based, but this one kinda makes better sense since it's got alot to do with paralell dimensions and stuff.

[heretic888]

Well, no offense, Jeph...... but the plot sounds a might too cliched and predictable for my blood. Besides, its not like Mirage is without its transdimensional wackiness.

I got some ideas brewing, but I'm gonna have to think on it a bit. Laterz.

[Jephael]

Too true, but I guess Ryo figured that Krang's dimensional portal would make it easier for them to cross dimensions.

[Ryona]

I just thought it would be fun to have elements from the 80's series.
It's not suposed to be riggedly based on it, though. I like Krang, Rocksteady, Bebop, the rock soldiers and the Technodrome, so, I just wanted to throw all that in. Let's just look at it as an alternate universe in which the old series universe and the Mirage universe are combined together (well, certain elements, anyway). Let's be fexible, here. :)

[hazlov2004]

ok amy`s power level since she like`s gun`s is at 29 to70% but she is a army officer and that mean`s basic martial art`s

[Ryona]

Sounds ok but guns are not going to help your character out in a Dragonball based universe. The bullets will just bounce off of these fighters. Now, if your character uses a hand weapon to allow her to channel her Ki through it, than that would work better for you.

[hazlov2004]

ok that can work but a hand gun for her ok now she`s got a pistol she doe`s not like being beat up she`s all that but she think`s she`s all that but she`s not and sometime`s will pick a fight if somebody make`s her mad

[Ryona]

Can you tell us a little more about your character, like what your character looks like and a brief history?

[hazlov2004]

amy is a mutant turtle with blunde hair blue eye`s bio amy enlisted in the army when she was 18 she was moved up to caption and finding out that the technodrome was a big treat so disobeying order`s not to go near it thus getting her to somewhere that is not at all earth and meeting up with the turtles while setting up camp but that caused a fight between her and raphael

[Hannah]

Forgive me, but I shall join late.

[Ryona]

No problemo, Kenai. We haven't started yet.

Maybe I should get this started now regardless that there is not enough players still.

[hazlov2004]

nope not yet
