The mechanics of the site have been something I've been gradually working on since it launched (almost a year ago at this point.) But, the lore and story section have been somewhat neglected. I've tried to keep up with it, but it's hard to do it all. I'm just one person. But, you all enjoy to write, it seems. So maybe I can recruit your help in fleshing out the universe that we all are writing in. I guess first, ideas would be the place to start on what sort of information we should have out there? What is helpful for the RP aspects?Here's my personal list of what I want to see added to and improved.A new galaxy map.- Fleshed out planet profiles. Especially for the bigger planets. Information about cities and areas on said planet. Earth is very detailed because its the setting of DB, but without information--the rest of the galaxy seems empty or blank.
- Detailed breakdowns of the Factions. More than a paragraph.
- Information about technology and gadgets. This is over 500 years since the DB series. Things have changed a bit, no doubt.
- A timeline of pre-site events and site-events. Maybe some dates.
- A system for determining how much time has passed on the site vs. how much time has passed in real life.
- Information about the afterlife. Demons especially. There's not much on the DB wiki. But, I feel we can fill in some blanks ourselves.
- Maybe a section describing how ki works and the various ways it can be used.
Please respond with what you would see. If you want to volunteer to tackle some of these details, I think we may be able to reward Story Merits for your efforts (since it benefits the story and RPing of all members, after all.)

-With the planets, maybe the most advanced race on them. (With an image) and their level of civilisations. -The politics of uplifting low civilisation by the different factions. -Hell's politics. We could do a melting pot of ideas, starting with the wiki as base to be more Cannon. -For the time line. i'd suggest 4 month for a year. A season, per month. I know it seems short. But i'd love to play, or see play, a kid growing up. Could bring the ideas of couple, family threes and such. -If not since the dragon ball are unusable for a year. Well, three months. I know you guys will hate the idea of four months between wishes. xD -For the Kais, have the NPC placed and maybe leave the chance to some shinji's to take their place if needed.
That's my part.

I could help with descriptions of planets and factions. Most of them aren't all that bad, but if you need more detail, I could work on that.
For the time passed, I think one RL year = one RP year would be fine (most threads last a week or two, for example, so it would be weird if, say, a month passed while you were sparring), with potential timeskips at the discretion of the GMs, should they be needed for story flow or whatever.

I always see demons as like beings made out of evil that were either born or created in Hell or have been there since it's creation. Like for instance Majins are demons especially the original Majin Buu in his pure form/kid Buu form and he's been around since the beginning of time. Perhaps the Demon Realm is where all demons come from or are at the very least sent down to or sealed away. Or maybe since the Makai and Makaioshin since they are the evil versions of the Supreme Kais the Gods of Creation created demons. Speaking of which we never seen them create any life or planets in the series despite that being their job.

In DBZ there's dabura who's king of the demon dimension/world or something which I think is separate to both hell and our world so that may be a thing, although difficult to implement. I like that sort of thing though, and I've done anow event around it already

I read a cosmology interview a while back. Basically the Demon Realm is beneath hell. It's at the very bottom of the universe. So it's still in the universe, just... at the bottom. Outsiders like Cthulhu from the earlier events are from beyond even that, since they're from outside the universe. Is what I'd like to think. Makes them scarier.
They're probably the kinds of things that Gods of Destruction occasionally have to deal with. i.e. telling those damn outsiders to get off their lawn.

LegumeCan you make a planet template? Like one that would be filled out with all the relevant information about the physical planet and the inhabitants. ๐ธ๐๐๐๐Can you write an article about the type of common day-to-day technologies the galaxy has? Stuff like ships, scouters, nano-tech, dynocaps, synthesis machines so on and so forth?

I'd like to help with planet building and anything that comes with that as well as explaining what ki does and the ways it's used.
Those are the two I'm most interested in, but any of these I'm willing to devote time into to improve.

Is the Hell stuff still WIP? I'd like to contribute and do some Demon shizzle.

[Fleshed out planet profiles. Especially for the bigger planets. Information about cities and areas on said planet. Earth is very detailed because its the setting of DB, but without information--the rest of the galaxy seems empty or blank.]
An important thing about these is culture, Music, food language, religion, and government(there's more but I digress). When world building (Literally now) It's important to look at what the function of a planet or place is. So places are wild and independent like earth, other places like Old Vegeta, if I remember correctly, were essentially a giant, spring break style, barracks for monkey scum.
My question is this. Are you guys looking to flesh out the planets we have or looking to add more planets?
[Detailed breakdowns of the Factions. More than a paragraph.] If you want help making new and/or original factions I would be down to try my hand at this as well. I am sure I could pitch and work with some ideas based on whatever direction the storytellers may be going for. So like for example if the Frieza force wanted an elite task force (Not Ginyu) to do certain mission types like space warfare, infiltration or whatever vs a Ragtag group of Rebel warriors that engage enemies with Guerrilla tactics. My point is I would be down but would be interested in knowing what exactly you guys are looking for in this. Finally, It could just mean to detail the actual player factions. Like Crusher Corps Ect..
Information about technology and gadgets. This is over 500 years since the DB series. Things have changed a bit, no doubt.
[A system for determining how much time has passed on the site vs. how much time has passed in real life.] This is an interesting one. Initially my brain wants to say double the time. So One week IRL=two weeks in game. So after 6months it would be one year but Idk if that will make much sense when it comes to training and how rapidly some of us could rise in power. I mean that's just my two cents on that.
Another thing that might work is to just say that it is up to the storytellers. So Before or after each major event maybe just let us know how much time has or will pass?
[Information about the afterlife. Demons especially.]: I would love to try and flesh some of this out If I could be allowed just a few liberties. I have always wondered this myself as well but I think based on the little bit we've seen in Dragonball and the few dragonball movies we got I could maybe put something together. I know/ remember that Garlic Jr's whole storyline had to do with demons and the demon realm and the whole point of earth's Kai was supposed to be to keep them at bay. We did see some Vampires in Dragonball as well. Then in snake way there was that snake lady that tried to rape and basically eat goku or something.
I think if you look at all the different times they were mentioned we could put something together. I would be very excited to do this.
