Hey Ryder just a few things that need to be changed before you can be accepted
>Just a minor thing for the history: the BBA's ascent as the dominant military power happened before the saiyan invasion not after.
>The techniques need to be completely scrapped, they don't fit in with the site mechanics at all. I'd reread the mechanic section to better familiarize yourself with how they work.

Nah they don't fall in line with any of the moves on the site meaning it's gonna be a hard pass from me. If you'd like some suggestions perhaps the Active Battle Aura could be a re flavored bulking? It'd only be able to be used when you have a transformation active but it'd effectively boost your offensive multiplier by 1 while reducing your defensive multiplier by 3 that could sort of fit in line with what you've got.
As for the burst perhaps you could devise a unique combination and just have it work like a normal [N1] which costs 1 KP and does 33% damage?
I know you were interested in doing primarily physical attacks and since you are a human you get techniques at a much faster rate. Maybe instead of focusing on random buffs you could devise special physical combinations that operate at the usual technique damage? If you look at my character Maeve for example nearly all of her techniques are varied sword moves that operate this way I pepper these into combat in order to spice things up and I could see Ryder doing the same

The lack of precedent affects overall balance, there is a reason why we have things organized the way we do. As it stands this can't be accepted, I provided 2 alternatives and you rejected both of them. If you don't go by the sites combat system I can tell you straight up that you're gonna have a hard time.

Utility Techniques often have very little mechanical advantage though the only ones being Flight and Ki Sense. What you are suggesting is to have an ability that costs no KP and increases the damage of all your attacks. That extra percentage while minor has the potential to give your character an unfair edge in combat. There is no counter to this and no downside. It is a completely new mechanic you're inventing on the fly. New technique mechanics and variations are often times discussed by either the entire site or staff side before being voted on and eventually implemented you can not just invent new mechanics on the fly.
Edit: Furthermore, the site is built with simplicity in mind, it offers customization that doesn't alter or break the core mechanics. You are free to be creative within the framework provided.

The techniques page is pretty clear on what is acceptable lol wodsouls.freeforums.net/thread/11/combat-techniquesAs for specials I can't give you a clear cut yes or no, generally when it comes to specials the staff as a group reviews them and helps the person come up with something that doesn't break the site. So maybe is the best I can give but you might have to compromise on how it works. Edit: Though thinking on it, ABA looks like it's a diluted version of our Kaioken/Makaioken mechanics so I wouldn't hold your breath since those are pretty special (They're their own class known as Ultimates for a reason)

Basically we would be willing to work with you to come to some sort of balanced mechanic. As it is it might not be exactly what you are suggesting but we will do our best to make it viable.

I can approve you with 0 techniques, Just remember that you still have these technique slots so your first 3 that you apply for are freebies. Head on to your BP
