Wolfgang von Battenburg, Homeless vampire swordsman!Like, seriously, I was gonna downplay the whole sword thing; but, when you put it like that, how can I?

You have a way with words, POS. A way of making me do stupid things.

[CABAL49]

The fastest man alive gets the first word! Spoken aloud that is.

[Red Mage Black]

The funniest thing I find about him being 'Mr. Satan's #1 Fanboy' is that he really doesn't know too much about him. Seeing as though Mr. Satan was actually a giant ham.

Now that I think about it, Kenny will probably be the only one there actually trying to be a hero rather then 'to meet pop stars', 'get publicity' or just for the reward money. At least what he thinks a true hero is.

[Overcast]

A true hero is for history to decide, and history is writen by he with the biggest gun!

[Arhra]

OK, I have had a thought for techniques.

I have decided I want Sessjala Guava's style of martial arts to revolve around the concept of completely baffling the enemy and then kicking their head off.

To that end, as a basis for some techniques, I need to test the concept of 'repulsion' ki. It's a type of ki that intensely repels normal ki projectiles and intensely attracts ki of the same type (explosions!).

There are several uses for this! The most obvious is using a concentrated ball of it as a shield, bending attacks away from yourself. Another use is making attacks that act in plain wacky ways by abusing the attraction and repulsion (for example, making another ki ball to attract a shot that missed, thus shooting someone in the back).

This may include 'mixer bullets', which involves wrapping one type in a temporary shell of the other type, neutralising the interior properties until the outer layer burns out.

The craziest use I have thought of so far is for teamwork attacks. Get several repulsion ki balls to spin in a circle very fast to overcome the force of attraction, then shoot a regular attack through the ring formed. This would act as a sort of ki-lens. Hilarious backfires if you screw it up obviously.

How's all this sound?

[Intern Nin]

Does Mr. Fajita have Dango or does Robyn? Both of them picked up a pencil and started fiddling with it.

[mauve]

Or possibly Fajita picked Dango up, then put him down and Robyn picked him up after that!

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN DRAGON BALL RP!!

[IHateMakingNames]

The man could have more than one pencil.

[Dracorion]

But the question remains: does he have more than one Dango?

[Krylo]

He has all the Dangos.

[POS Industries]

Mr. Fajita picked up Pencil!Dango in the manga, Robyn picking up the pencil and setting it back down was a continuity error on the part of the animation studio while they were adding filler in the anime.

[Arhra]

Since being in it for the money didn't seem to fit, thought I should start by stumbling onto things for all of the wrong reasons.

Wanted to incorporate more random background material, will do so next post.

[Ookalf]

So, sorry I didn't a character up before you started this. It ended up taking a lot longer than I would've thought to settle on an idea I liked... Would it be OK if I posted my character sheet now, or has it been long enough that I should just sit this one out?

[POS Industries]

Go right ahead. We're still more or less in the process of introductions.

[Ookalf]

All right, here goes...

Name: Risotto
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Career: Janitor, would-be superhero.
Appearance: Slim and athletic of build, slightly taller than average. Risotto has naturally (or so she says) green hair, kept relatively short and in a ponytail, with blue eyes. Most days she can be found wearing her work uniform - a dull grey long-sleeved baggy shirt, matching pants, and ordinary tennis shoes.
Special Abilities: Though Risotto has been training in Turtle School martial arts for some time, she has yet to really master ki manipulation, using it mainly as a backdrop for purely physical techniques. She can fly, at least.
Equipment:

* Tool Belt: Belt worn by Risotto, which holds Capsules containing various tools one might use as a janitor - brooms, mops, dust pans, etc.

* Costume Capsule: Standard-issue storage Capsule, used by Risotto store her hero costume when not in use.

* Hero costume: Identity-concealing costume worn by Risotto during her heroic escapades. Consists of a red-and-white unitard, dark red gloves and boots, a green scarf, and a white helmet with goggles to hide her face.

Biography: Risotto is, if nothing else, a good Samaritan. Ever since she was little she's wanted to help people, in whatever way she can. And, since most forms of helping people seem to involve beating people up in some way, she soon found herself drawn toward the martial arts as a way of achieving this.

Things... didn't exactly work out as she'd hoped. After college, Risotto traveled the world, trying her hand at many professions that she hoped would help her leave a mark on people's lives. Firefighter, construction worker, nurse... You name it she tried it. Unfortunately, each of these many careers ended in some hilarious failure that she'd rather not talk about, forcing her to move on and try something else. After a long string of such incidents, she eventually ended up as a janitor in some police station, where she hoped she'd at least be able to help those that helped others, if only in a small way.

Her story does not end there, however. One day, while cleaning out a disused back room in the station's basement, Risotto found something that gave her a new hope - a box filled with old newspapers, abandoned and ignored who-knows how many years ago. Through these, she learned of a brave hero of long ago known only as the Great Saiyaman, who fought for justice in Satan City while keeping his true name and face hidden from all.

And so, Risotto realized what she had to do. Like the Saiyaman, she would take up a new identity, and use her own skills to clean up the streets of West City! ...Metaphorically, of course. Thus, she created a costume with which to disguise herself for these escapdes, and now waits for the right time to make her big hero debut, using her job at the station to learn about crimes as they happen.

On a lesser note, I apologize for not having posted in the last few days. Lost the connection I was using for net. It's still AROUND, but the problem isn't whether it's there or not, its been holding on to it that has been the problem. I'll be getting to posting once I look at the thread.

[Overcast]

Still at sea. Bad connection. Will post when I can.

[CABAL49]

I should note that I leave for Germany on Wednesday and I am not sure when I will have connection. Shouldn't be a serious problem though

[POS Industries]

Sorry for the delay! You may all proceed to the scene of the crime with utmost haste!

Ookalf is approved and added to the OP.
