Name:
Daisuke Species:
World Turtle Gender:
Male Age:
1,000 Appearance:History: Daisuke was one of the few of his people to survive the plague that infected their last mating season, as a young child he remembers swimming with many of his kind among the oceans, however now he feels the pain of loneliness. As far as any events that happened in the outside world, his people pay very little attention to them. All he knows is that Earth has been getting worse and worse for his kind. He remembers fighting with the elder to post-pone the last mating season, sensing that the anger and darkness of the larger world. However his people were even more blind to the outside world than himself. Once the plague began to spread among their bodies many remained, trying to foster children. Daisuke shamefully ran from the breeding grounds, protecting the people in his shell above his own larger kind. He regrets this decision to this day, he spent many years in a deep meditative trance inside a cave, eventually he came to the conclusion that he should explore the world before his death and perhaps find another of his kind. 17,380th Guardian of Daisuke

Zoanthrope - World Turtle
Earth
Starting Power: 400-800
Appearance: The differences between a World Turtle and any common turtle is pretty small, however they do tend to show some minor differences, this being there generally large size compared to normal animals, they tend to be as large as seven feet tall when fully grown at the age of thousand. Another common difference is that World Turtles can grow facial hair or normal hair in general.
Background:
Legend is told that a goddess Nüwa placed a turtle in charge of protecting her planet, This turtle carried it for thousands of years until it's people had to migrate from it before it died. They moved onto the turtle's children and Nüwa blessed them all with unique worlds to hold her people. This is how the World Turtles were born. Within their shells exist an entire planet, with a species of people known as Kame. World Turtles have a immense lifespan usually of over a thousand. The number of World Turtles is unknown as very few have ever appeared to others, as they generally remain silent and uninterested in the events of the outside world. There are so few reports of World Turtles they are classified as a myth or an extinct species depending on who you ask. There numbers are however very small due to a plague that spread on one of their breeding grounds, it infected the worlds inside the turtles and caused their bodies to decay from the inside. The few that remained after the terrible plague went their separate ways, weakened to the point that they were no longer sure they would live to see the next mating season in several hundred years.
The people known as Kame are almost identical to humans physically, with the difference that Kame seem to have an very short life span, living and dying during what is normally three weeks. However they can leave the confines of the World Turtle, and when they do they seem to stop aging at a rapid rate. Kame also appear at normal height, as the world within the turtle seems to exist within a pocket reality. Time within the World Turtle seems to be condensed as well. When a World Turtle needs to defend itself it summons the Kame that has been chosen as guardian. It is said that during mating season a tournament is held and the winner generally gets to pick mates. World Turtles themselves cannot breed, it is only by the union of two powerful guardians can a new egg be born.
Unique Characteristics:
Turtish Inheritance- All Turtish people can inherit the powers and memories of the previously chosen guardian.
Human Like- They share humans ability to create techniques at a faster rate, every 4000 battle-power gained as opposed to 6000.
Transformations:
Spirit Fusion - 4x The World Turtle combines it's body with the guardian temporarily, this grants them a shell on their back but otherwise just taps into the latent power of all the Kame living within the World Turtle.

Very interesting character. welcome aboard For the most part everything checks out, but I have a few questions before i put you through. These people inside the turtles: I'm noticing a size disparity, are they shrunken down in there? XD (Or is it a 'mystical realm' situation and the turtles act like a portal?) Also, am i correct in believing this 'guardian' to be a character you're RPing as? If so, I would request you include their details so we can know a bit about them, either in 'history', or by basically doing them up like their own template ((though they are free to 'share' techniques, power level, etc. since they are part of the one 'character')) Finally ,just thought I'd mention that Dragonball's Earth is a mystical place in canon ((full of giant beasts, talking/sentient animals, and outright magical/otherworldly elements[including portals to other realms])), so you could definitely have your turtle race literally just be mystical turtles rather than space aliens if you wanted to ((either some kinda of otherworldly turtle-beings, or literally a rare species of earth turtles who are giant and magical))

1) Yeah a portal is more like how I meant it, x3 I re-worte this app several times as I couldn't think of anything so I usually end up making something silly.
2) I was planning on detailing it more in a plot page, as the guardian's life span is so short comparability that they'll change a lot, the idea is that it's kind of a parody of time skips so the three days of a Kame's lifespan represent DB/Z/GT. Really they'll function basically as the character from a fighting standpoint so it's as if Daisuke could just summon a saibaman as the guardian is just an interchangeable body in practicality. If you insist on me detailing it I'll just up the amount Kame's live so that it won't just be outdated after a single topic =p
3) That would work a lot better, so I should classify him as a Zoanthrope?

1) k, works for me 2) ahh, ok then,makes sense. Having the guardians/kame age at a more normal rate, or act more like 'spirits' (ala the avatar's 'past lives' from the last airbender) would give you more chance for character development of specific guardians, but if you enjoy what you currently have that is perfectly okay too RP it however you like to. 3) yes indeed, seems your world turtles are 'functionally' the same as humans/zoanthropes already so an easy switch - though I can name your transformation 'spirit fusion' if you wish to retain that part ((we definitely encourage people to 'flavour' their RP any way they like, so long as it doesn't give any OOC advantage they shouldn't have - for the sake of fairness)) Either way, consider yourself basically accepted, once you make the zoanthrope tweek I'll do so in an offical capacity, but no need to wait - put up a beginners post in the presentation area (http://wodsouls.freeforums.net/board/18/beginners-presentation-area) and I'll then grade it and assign your start pl and items at the same time

Alright, I made all the changes needed, I also increased Kame's lifespan to 3 weeks so that they'll potentially be around for a few topics and explained on the 17,380th one (Which assumes no Kame has passed away before their time ended, but if I got that complex about it I would have a 18,000 page summary =p)
Also, In the future I'll probably make abilities around summoning past guardians and steer it in kind of an avatar way, but for now this will work =]

Alright! I like the way this looks and am going to say this effectively approved! However, Bao has this thread covered, so he'll get this fully approved, unless he misses something I miss.
