 Species Name: Beppa-Seijin / Beppans Home Planet/Starting Planet: Planet Beppa Starting Power: 1500-2000 Appearance: Beppans are hulking green humanoids who typically stand at gargantuan heights of 6 to 8 eight feet. Musclebound by birth, their wrestler bodies are build to take damage and deal it out in turn. In adulthood, they develop wide muscular frames. Their most defining trait is their natural long black hair. Typically growing in a mass of thick black waves, Beppan hair quickly grows out to waist level if it is not cut or trimmed. Background: These men have inhabited the smoldering world of Beppa since before recorded history. Beppa was once the axis of the galactic wrestling federation, it's fighters completely unparalleled, especially when fighting under the Makyo Star. Beppa's reputation as a stomping ground for powerful fighters spread far and wide during those ages, Beppa went through a brief period of rapid industrialization. Outmodded settlements still dot the territories, which are now used as trading posts or camps. Wrestling around volcanoes and sometimes in volcanoes themselves, Beppans become hardened warriors from both nature and nurture. Although Beppa is no longer the talking point of the Galaxy it once was, powerful mercenaries still call it's Volcanic plains their home, and the Dore outpost is one of the more relevant refueling stations of the Arcosian empire. Beppan Royalty has been challenged and fought for as a tradition for millennium, but the monarchy holds little hard power over the scattered rural settlements and shady criminal crevices of the planet. Name Pun Theme(s): Beppan names are usually based off pepper, salt, or paprika. Unique Characteristics: Wrestling Weights: Training in bodybuilding from birth, the wrestling centric culture of the Beppa-Seijin means they start out with unsellable medium weights (Hybridizes as light weights.) Charred Skin: Hardened by the tough volcanic environment of the planet, Beppans are all about defense. In the heat of battle, Beppans can trigger a one time +x2 to their defensive PL. (Hybridizes as Durability. Hybrids can pick one UC, not both.)
Transformations:Vulcan - x10
Legends tell of ancient Beppan volcanoes at the very conception of the planet which would emit powerful radiation, transforming regular Beppan-Seijin into raving monsters. Those volcanoes have been long dormant, but the powerful energy of the Makyo Star triggers the same reaction in the Beppa-Seijin biology. In this form, Beppans become brutal creatures of sadism, their pupils disappearing, and their forearms and hands swelling with muscle, giving the appearance of gauntlets. Harnessed Vulcan - x9
At 50,000 PL, a Beppan is capable of triggering the Vulcan transformation on their own, but their brutal cruelty is lessened, resulting in a slight reduction of fighting spirit. Wrestling Prime! - x16
At a power level of 150,000, A Beppan is poised to be at the top of the wrestling food chain! This form is permanent, unless the Beppan decides to push their Vulcan form further still! Requires Ki suppression. Swollen Vulcan - x12/x18
When a Beppan reaches a power level of 150,000, they become capable of pushing their Vulcan form to new heights. In the Swollen state, muscles boil over, transforming the warrior into a hulking goliath. Reaching this state of overload requires Bulking! Ultra Beppan - x20
When a Beppan's training finally levels off at 200,000 PL, they will find that careful focus of their power in their base form outclasses the impermanent bursts of Vulcan strength. In this state, light starkly reflects around the warrior, resulting in a a slight glint of whiteness in the pupils and an extra shine on their thick black hair. Impenetrable Vulcan - x25/x32
If the Swollen Vulcan state is saturated even further with the volcanic radiation of the Makyo Star, a Beppan ascends to a further tier of power. This state requires a minimum of 300,000 PL to tap into, and is the most drastically different in appearance thus far. Ascending to a hight of up to 12 feet, the Beppan's muscles become extremely prominent but not over-bulked. This is a form capable of finite agility and extreme durability.  ? - x42
No Beppan has ever ascended past the Impenetrable Vulcan state. What lies beyond may simply be a further perfection of the base form, or another volcanic transformation, but nothing is certain. |

I think the racials look nice, early weights is a pretty strong advantage but the fact they are unsellable and only medium tier is a good trade off, the fact they eventually become useless also helps balance that.
the +x2 to defensive PL is also similarly reasonably strong but after a certain point it becomes really the main UC of the race so that makes it a lot more reasonable.
Now the transformation modifiers are where I'm a bit iffy, there is a lot of number shifting going on and while its good that its not focused on making the race as strong as possible as quickly as possible Its probably a bit too much.
I like the idea Beppans having their weighted forms flipped though so if we use any sort of number shifting I'd say this would be a bit more acceptable.
x10 - Makyo
x9 - 50k
x12/x18 - 150k + Power Weighting
x16 - 150k + Ki Suppression
x20 - 200k
x25/x32 - 300k
x42 - 430k
The chief changes from standard Alien C are dropping the initial x12 for a x9 at 50k and flipping the weighted forms around. This would in effect be the Beppans REAL racial abilities. And in this way you also still get the x16.

Personally I always assumed Beppans were Alien B. They don't seem like the celestial events type to me.

Queen Habana Your suggestions have been implemented! Bing Gan Your sentiments have been noted, although the defensive nature of Beppans is an element best worked with flipped alien C modifiers. Vi-Poi Zucceta Any ideas from you two? If not, let's push Beppans on through!

Well, try to get it like Ghosts and Ogres. Balance them good and make it so they don't have to be restricted to alien modifiers.

Personally, I quite like the idea of Beppans being classified as Alien C. I personally feel that if they functioned as Alien B's, they would be eerily similiar to Kabochans, yet focus on Defense instead of Offense.
I also feel like we could use another cool Alien C race, as currently, there aren't a lot of Alien C's being played. I feel like the Beppans would make for a cool addition to the Alien C category that might spark more interest in the category!

Why do you two think Beppans should be B? Is it based off that old sliding scale concept of A-B-C going from most human-like to least human like? Because that doesnt make sense, Saiyans are quite human like and C are the modifiers based on them. Also, the switching of the modifiers offensive to defensive is actually largely situational, and as Habana said, is essentially a minor UC of the race. |

Correct. Saiyans are an original species that predates Customs. Saiyans were not based on Alien C, Alien C were based on Saiyans.

Can't you find a way to balance them and give them their own page like saiyans?

Saiyans are an original species that predates Customs. Saiyans were not based on Alien C, Alien C were based on Saiyans. Certainly! So it doesnt make sense that an Alien race similar to saiyans shouldn't be able to follow the C modifiers, I think it works out well and creates a unique and fun play style that is very loyal to the concept of Beppan culture. Also the event they follow is the Makyo star, because it simulates the radiation of beppan supervolcanoes |

Just a small thought (liking this thus far myself): Just bold and underline the Makyo Star, to show that they're using THAT instead of the Alien C celestial event.
I do feel like them getting something like Atmos may be an option, too, because Volcanoes are hard to breath environments due to the heat, and the radiation, too! Under normal circumstances, they'd need a Super Saiyan transformation, but like Arcosians, due to their extreme environment, they don't need to pick it up. It's either, they learn to breath dangerous air, hold their breathe for very long periods of time until they get to healthy air to breath, or die.
