What is this games format?
Okay, this game is a Play By Email (PBeM) Roleplaying game. It is played as the name says, by email. To make your character do something you must send in an email (or post as some call it) of your characters actions. Heres an example:
Goku stands in a fighting pose next to Vegeta. These two rivals stare at each other, calculating their moves, wondering who will go first.
Thats a pretty short example but an example none the less. This is essentially a novel in progress which is continually updated by the players posts. When posting you must give the email an apropriate subject. (eg if it is a fight the subject would be (Goku vs Vegeta) or something like that.) If the email is OOC (Out of Character) which means the player, not the character wants to say something, the subject should begin with "OOC".
When replying to a persons email say if the two characters are in a discussion. The last line of the previous email should be the first line of your email with a ">" symbol in front of the line to signify that it is not yours.
Hopefully that is a good enough explnation of PBeM's for you, if you have further questions ask me and I'll get you an answer and also post it on the FAQ page for everyone to know about it so they can learn. [Just so I'm not bombarded by the same question :)]
Okay, lets talk about the actual game now.

Setting
-
The setting is just after the end of the Cell Saga, Gohan and the rest of the Z warriors are building this academy because they know that it is only a matter of time before another evil comes and tries to take over or destory the Earth...it always happens. Most of the action takes place on Kami (Now Dende's) lookout, but many of the training centres are based at the actual trainers prefered ground. (Eg, Master Roshi at his house, King Kai on his Planet and Piccilo in his little deserted Valley)
How do I get started?
-
After you send he in your character and I approve it, i'll write an introductory post for you and you will take it from there. It will usually be just a short post introducing your character and finding out who is is training with or where he is.
Is this just training for do we get to fight stuff??
-
Yes you do get to fight stuff. You can either create your own quests you can go off and do and I will introduce little things to try and stuff you up :) (Thats make it a challenge) or I will introduce a big plot which will require many of you to work together as a team. such as collecting the dragonballs. At anytime you can go hunt for them but it will be difficult to do on your own. I'll make sure of that :)
How do I increase my power level and learn new moves?
-
To increase your power level you must train, either by yourself, with a partner (an NPC of your own creation or another player) or with an actual trainer. The increase depends on the amount of posting you do, how good they are, and how intensive your training is. Each Sunday morning (Australian time) I will post your new power levels to you individually. It is your choice if you wish to share it, unless you don't have a choice and someone scans you. That will be done in game if it occurs.
To learn new moves you must train with an actual trainer. To do this you must demonstrate to them that you are good enough to be trained by them by completing a task they set you. Or they will seek you out and offer to train you if they have noticed you. (This will come about if you post really well)
A side note. With Telepathic powers to train them ou it is similar to what you would do if you were physically training, except mentally. If you do mental excersises or things like that your power will go up. If you need more info ask me and I'll send you a short telepathic training session that I wrote.
How do I get money??
- First, the currency in this game is "Zeni".
You can do this many ways. Occasinally there will be tournaments which you can participate in. These will become frequent as time goes on. Also your character can try and get a job! No really, I'm not kidding. Its up to you which job but you can attempt to get one and earn money that way. But lets not be unrealistic shall we. Remember, this is a game but if it is to be any fun you have to play fair. Saying you have a 1,000,000 Zeni a year job is a little bit unrealistic :)
What happens if I die??!!
- This is actually a pretty important part. In this game you can die, at anytime. You could be killed in battle or in a spar if your partner overdoes it. Or I could kill your character simply becuase I don't like them by dropping a piano on their head. but I wont do that :)
The thing is that in this universe, if you die it's not necasarily game over. Like it says in the training section you can only train with King Kai and Goku if your dead. Because when you die you go to Snake Way, but can be wished back by the Dragon. But you can only be wished back once. If you die twice you can either spend the rest of your RPG'ing time with King Kai or Goku, or simply create a new character.
