Hello, hello!
I'm Gehn, but you can call me Greg. I'm a long-time roleplayer of about 13 years and Dragon Ball has -- like it has for many of us, I imagine! -- always held a special place in my heart. Even now at the ripe old age of 24, I still adore the world and everything about it. It's just got so much that I love: Fantasy, sci-fi, interesting lore, and exaggerated battles that crack planets open like eggs.
If you're curious about me, personally, I'm afraid there's not much to say! I'm pretty goofy and consistently positive and upbeat. You'll find that rather reliably describes me! The biggest things going on in my life are my new job as an IT Manager and the purchase of my first house! Oh, and one of my poor cats needed a partial tail amputation. Luckily, he's coming along super well!
As for what I intend to do here, and what I think so far?
First of all, I'm the owner of an anime-based community that's entirely player-driven, just like this place. But after seven years there exclusively, I'm looking to branch out and enjoy a new setting; one that's never failed to get me engaged.
The character I'm planning to play? Well, I hate to be the difficult new guy, or be the snow-flakey player who equates """originality""" with quality, but a new character concept of mine has been hard to get out of my head! I'd like to play a Saiyan-Cyborg named Gehn, and I've already done quite a bit of preliminary work on both his race and the character himself -- including a page-long history outline.
Which brings me to something I was hoping to ask about! In writing up my page for this custom racial off-shoot, I noticed I can't quote rules posts! I'd like to snag the code for the "Racial Abilities" table and the Transformations table for Alien Race A. Could someone drop that BBCode in here in a code box for me? Thanks in advance if anyone can help me out!
With that out of the way, I'm happy to say that I'm excited to be here! I hope I manage to contribute a lot and take my time exploring this dynamic, ever-changing world with everyone!

Hello there! I'm Sketch, the resident artist and newest addition to the modsquad here. I play as Chai alongside Capper here. But, nonetheless, welcome to the wonderful world of World of DragonBall: Souls! I'm sure all of us hope you enjoy your stay with us. Feel free to pop in the cbox down yonder also, or slide into our Discord Chat.
Here's that code for your Alien A template also. The species pages are locked by staff, which would explain why you couldn't quote it.

You can discuss this with an admin upon making the race. Have a look at the other races for ideas and limitations. Remember, every Racial Ability should be both fun and appropriately balanced.

If you'd like to play a cyborg, I believe they would be categorized under the android species, a la Androids 17 and 18, whom were both cybernetically enhanced cyborgs as well. If you have any other further questions or concerns, let me or the other staff know! We hope you have a great time here.

If you'd like to play a cyborg, I believe they would be categorized under the android species, a la Androids 17 and 18, whom were both cybernetically enhanced cyborgs as well. If you have any other further questions or concerns, let me or the other staff know! We hope you have a great time here. Thank you very much for the above! And to answer your question: I did see that, yes. However, I also noticed that it shoe-horned all races into the Android transformation tree which, thematically, didn't fit with a character that I still very much wanted to see take on his race's iconic, golden transformation(s). For Humans and such I think it works just fine because we never really get into the other races evolutionary paths like that. So there's nothing for them to be missing. But with Saiyans? I think there is, which is what prompted me to attempt this request. So what I've done is kind of just...mooshed them together. You're welcome to take a (very unofficial) look below. Saiyan-Cyborg
A unique mix of flesh and machine, Saiyan-Cyborgs are wildly rare. Frequently developed entirely independently of the Red Ribbon Army's Androids and Cyborgs, these beings can come in many different shapes and sizes. Much like the Saiyans themselves, the origins and nature of Saiyan-Cyborgs can vary wildly, from being strongly related to Human-style Androids or built in a completely different fashion. However, the trait they overwhelmingly share is the dominance of their Saiyan biology over their artificial enhancements. The result is a species that retains most of their natural features and patterns of growth. Name Pun Themes
Saiyan-Cyborgs, originally being purely biological Saiyans, follow the vegetable theme for names. Homeworld: Planet Vegeta Starting Planet: Anywhere Starting Power Level: 400 - 800 Appearance: Although internally modified, a Saiyan-Cyborg still looks primarily like a Saiyan. Some external changes may be present, but those will vary from subject to subject. This means that Saiyan-Cyborgs retain their very Human-like appearance, complete with dark, ungrowing hair and dark eyes. They also trend to the shorter side of Human height, on average, but exceptions to this rule are still very common. The major difference between a Cyborg and a purely biological Saiyan is the loss of the brown, Saiyan monkey-tail. This is either removed during the modification process or rots off due to incompatibility with the physiological changes that the Saiyan has endured. Background: Saiyan-Cyborgs share the same historic background as their purely biological counterparts, but their individual creation varies wildly. Most often, however, Saiyan-Cyborgs are created unwillingly. Owing to the inherent pride of the species, most Saiyans would rather die than become even partly artificial. This means that Saiyan-Cyborgs are, perhaps, the rarest of all artificially-enhanced individuals in the entire galaxy. Those Saiyans that do choose to continue to live will usually do so with great reluctance to acknowledge the changes they've undergone. Any benefits are usually downplayed, as they detract from the prestige of the Saiyan's personal accomplishments.
Racial Abilities Anti-Aura Sensing | Androids cannot be sensed by the technique called Ki Sensing, its variants, directly. They can however be sensed by those using a Scouter device, yet these devices are generally easy to destroy. | Zenkai | Upon enduring a serious, life-threatening injury in battle, those with Saiyan blood can gain a Zenkai upon recovering from these injuries -- which can cause rapid increases in power. Nietzsche would be proud. | Android Shop | Androids have access to the Android Shop where Android items and upgrades may be purchased. |
Transformations Name | Power Level Multiplier | Power Level Requirement | Description | Adreno-Synthetic Hypertrophy
| x2 | 0 | Starting transformation. When a Saiyan's fight or flight instinct sways to the "fight" side of things, their uniquely powerful metabolic and adrenal system kicks in. This reacts violently with the enhanced musculo-skeletal system, resulting in a burst of mass, power, and durability. This transformation is also incredibly painful, as the Saiyan's body is unable to endure it and the silvery muscles of their new body break through the skin at the sites of major muscle groups, such as the pectoral, biceps, triceps, quadriceps, abdominals, etc. These muscle fibers will remain exposed and will shiver with the beat of the Saiyan's heart. | Synthetic Hypertrophy | x6 | 70,000 | In this form, the Saiyan's Hypertrophy ability can be activated without adrenal stimulation. Further, the body is now able to handle the transformation, eliminating the associated pain and keeping the skin intact. However, the added bulk still stretches and thins the skin, allowing for a silvery sheen to be seen through it. | Super Saiyan | x15 | 150,000 | The iconic, golden transformation of the Saiyan race. | Super Saiyan 2 | x25 | 250,000 | The next iteration of the Super Saiyan evolutionary chain, complete with crackling, blue lightning and even spikier hair. | Super Saiyan 3 | x42 | 400,000 | The pinnacle of the Super Saiyan tree, including the missing eyebrows and body-length, golden hair. | Mastered Super Saiyan 3 | x48 | 460,000 | Everything about the Super Saiyan 3 transformation without the extreme physical stress, allowing the Saiyan-Cyborg to use their enhanced body to get the absolute most out of the form. |

Hey there Gehn, welcome aboard.
You can still have a Super Saiyan form in appearance (it could be your Overdrive, for instance), but cyborgs are always relegated to either their parent race or androids. The designation depends on what you get your power from. If you get the majority of your power from being a Saiyan, you are a Saiyan with cybernetic augments. If you are get the majority of your power from your machine implants, you are an android.

Awh, man! Well that's okay, I kind of figured that might happen! I really appreciate the immediate decision.
I suppose that does leave me with just one more question: The real reason I even bothered, given how much he pulls from the Saiyan side as it is, is to get that Built-In Scouter! It matches his image, wherein his left eye is, in fact, a Scouter!
So if I can go Saiyan and still do that, that's quite literally 100% of my concerns handled right there. If not, not the end of the world either.
Regardless, thanks again! Glad to be here, I think this'll be quite fun.
And if you guys ever consider taking more of a Hybrid-style approach for Cyborgs, do let me know. I'd love to take a swing at that, mechanically.

I'm sorry, but who the hell is this? Yes, well, unfortunately, I made the mistake of telling a certain someone about this place. Now she insists on bringing her weirdo Android over here, and maybe others, too. Yeah, I suppose my thread title wasn't honest for long, was it?
