| Hello! Welcome to Broken Futures!
Although we are a based on Dragon Ball keep in mind that we use it for the elements the show brought to us. We are not using ANY canon characters, only the world in which the show was built on. We are mostly a free form RPG with some stats to help track character growth. However, for the most part, your stats only matter in important fights or large events ran by a GM/DM.
We don't have any specific guidelines on what can or cannot be written about. So long as the Zetaboards ToS isn't violated. If a topic gets mature, keep it reasonable and do your best not to violate the host ToS. We don't like to limit you to what you want to write about and will trust your judgement not to make any posts in the extreme.
We are set in Future Trunks' timeline so the world is in ruin. Which would classify it as post-apoc. It's always been the best-styled setting to build a new world on top of. We have built this site to be based around the actions of the players. You will help build the world you're playing in. Every action within major events will influence how the world structures itself.
We have no word count, no canon face claims, no post formatting and no drama. We want you to come here and have fun. Before you sign up, please look over the Game a bit to decide if you are interested. After you've made an account make sure to introduce yourself here and say hello in the Chatbox.

Angeles
|
Angeles was trying to find Daze, but Daze, it seemed, wasn't at his home, the one bar in the desert village. Angeles needed to find the wizard to thank him. He had done her a great service, one she had not been thankful for at first, one she had run away from him, and now with a clear mind and conscious, she needed to get it off her shoulders.
Not that she was sure he would understand anyway, and she would have to be careful to not be tempted by him. Of anyone, she knew he would be the most difficult to resist.
But he wasn't here, Bruce said he hadn't seen the wizard in a while.
So Angeles sat down at the bar to ponder. Bruce had been there when it had happened, and she was sure that he had heard, but he didn't seem to be giving her any strange looks. She slipped her coat off and set it on the stool next to her, ordering just a single shot of tequila as she began to plan what to do next.

Astraea
|
Flying high over the desert Astraea had been searching for new information on the man who had cursed her sister. It happened today she was over a city and had spied a winged human going to the same place. So far in her travels there had been only one other Angel on Earth so she felt a visit was necessary.
Following her sister from above brought them both to the bar. Giving her sister time before she came in Astraea opted to land carefully. After a couple of minutes it felt right to barge into find out what Angeles was up to.
Banging the door open Astraea adopted her sternest voice for a reprimand. This was either going to be a scolding or a fun reunion. "Angeles! what are you doing in here!"

Angeles
|
Angeles felt the cool bite of the tequila glass against her lip when a figure burst into the door with such ferocity she thought Daze had arrived. Rather than Daze announcing himself though, it was a red-winged angel scolding her younger sister.
The tequila in Angeles' hand dropped to the counter, the glass luckily not breaking, and a wide-eyed and horrified expression covered the fallen angel's face.
"W-what are you doing here!?" she countered in shock. She was distracted by feeling the tequila drip onto her pants. She flustered and quickly righted the shot glass and stood away from the mess she had made looking at it.
"I'm not doing anything!" she finally offered in her defense, grabbing a towel from Bruce to clean up the spill and apologizing.
"Just don't start anything," the man gruffed and she looked from him to Astraea.

Astraea
|
|
Glaring at the cup her sister was busy righting at the counter Astraea felt relieved that it was only a cup. Sarcastically she responded. "I was out looking for leads to things I still want to know. Here I find you in this establishment trying to imbibe in alcohol." Staring hard at Angeles to try and get her point across. "You know where lowered inhibition can lead you sister. I know you do not want me talking about that in public but still it plagues you and it is not something that dies quietly."

Angeles
|
Angeles looked at her sister, a single eye twitching, noting how many people were in the bar. Did it really have to come back to her lust problem each and every time?
"I have that under control!" she argued, though really she still struggled with it, and alcohol was definitely something that made it difficult. But Roots and Daze weren't here, these other men she could resist easily she was sure.
"And it was only one drink! Just one! That's temperance right!?"
She huffed and returned the soaked towel back to the bar owner, folding her arms and her wings.

Astraea
|
Walking over to her sister and hugging her Astraea had some misconceptions to pop apparently. Whispering to her sister as she maneuvered her to a stool, "no sister that is moderation". A smirk crossed her face that her sister did not know that. "Temperance is saying no and not giving in at all. Self control is moderating the problem but if you have a addiction anything that feeds it will empower it to run your life."
Sighing as she took the stool next to Angeles it was strange lecturing her sister on this subject. "The small things are what lead to bigger things sister I thought you would know some of this given your virtue."

Angeles
|
Astraea hugged her, and Angeles blinked in confusion a bit for her words, "but, but," her sister guided her back onto her stool and Angeles sighed, resting her elbows on her knees and laced her fingers together. She looked at Astraea with some confusion and a little guilt. She sighed and lowered her voice, this was probably not the place to have this conversation.
"I tried that once, for a long time after this change I refused to give in. It got so painful, I would sometimes black out after an attack. The instincts were too strong, I was afraid that, one of these days, I wasn't going to be able to ignore them, that they would take over and I would hurt someone I cared about."
She sighed, "then there was a... demon. This demon one of greed and lust, saw what was going on with me and she agreed to help. It... wasn't pleasant, but she told me that the only way I could control the demonic urges was to... give in, just a little, it would abate the pressure, and I would stop suffering."
Angeles bowed her head, "I still didn't listen, I continued to resist and suffer until...," she paused, "this bar actually. There's a man who lives her, quite uncouth and not someone I used to get along with. He was so lustful I'm surprised he didn't trigger my archon. But he.... helped," Angeles frowned, then smiled fondly, "after that I felt safe enough to go to Roots, to make sure that what I was feeling for him wasn't solely lust, and when I was with him, I know it was something more than that."
Angeles looked at Astraea, "so, no, I guess I can't practice temperance. I apologize. I have an addiction, and it does run my life if I ignore it. But alcohol is not part of the problem, if I partake in moderation, just like with my instincts."

Astraea
|
|
Hearing her sister finally tell her about the demon's assistance was nice. Hearing the rest of her tale gave some much needed perspective on what she had been going through. "Angeles you silly addled angel your means of temperance and moderation in this case is Roots." How could Angeles have missed that? Astraea started laughing at this absurd contradiction to what her sister thought. "If you love Roots and strive to be only with him then by your original duties it is a sacred thing. e would be your life partner and under normal circumstances you would marry him."

Angeles
|
Angeles heard her sister explain things that she understood, and it made the fallen angel's eyes widen. That was not how she thought of things. Yes she loved Roots and wanted to be only with him, but she still felt that physically being with him was an indulgence of sin, one that she could not bring herself to feel guilty about. And Astraea was saying that it wasn't a sin at all.
What more, the notion that, had the two of them been human, they would likely be married.
Angeles felt a flutter in her chest and a bit of turmoil at this revelation. Her lust demon didn't like that. She looked at the ground in thought, working it out in her head, and then smiling bemused and chuckling.
"I, didn't think of it that way," she admitted.

Astraea
|
Ordering her sister another of the beverage she had been trying to drink she was enjoying enlightening her sister. "So I guess you can have this after all as long as you drink only 1-3 depending on tolerance. Enjoy yourself more sister you seem to have worked out your problem on your own without realizing it."
"So when can I meet this Roots of yours I need to know if he is good for you and your delicate problem." Pondering some of the other things Angeles had said another thing occurred to her. "You seem to know to many mages, that can't be healthy."

Roots
|
Why the hell is she out here? Was the biggest question on his mind. The Saiyan's form crashed through a cloud, sailing low. His cloak viciously tore against the wind, but protected his skin from the sun. Still didn't protect his mind from that little itch. A whole other side of turmoil was boiling in his mind, namely being that his scouter was picking up Angeles. That was her power signature, for sure. There was another, though, and it was marking it as what Angeles had been...before.
The thought occurred to Roots that this small desert village would likely again have an array of oddities that day. A Cursed Alien, a Tainted Angel, and the Purist. He came in hot but caught himself, sand kicking up around him, and he gently landed with two feet. His cloak figured glanced around the hot village.
The scouter locked onto them, and he peeled his eyes. Time to find out what was going on.
It is perhaps interesting to note that if perhaps Roots had been born on earth, he would have a better term on what the word 'creepy' meant. It was also interesting to note that if he had been using his ears, perhaps he would have known what he was stepping into as he approached the bar.
The Saiyan stepped through the door, like a man who wanted a drink. It swung open, and the cloaked figure stood there for a moment, and then took a few steps forward, taking his hood off. Bruce was the first to speak, instantly recognizing one of Daze's mates.
"Awww, really, this guy?" He cried out, wiping his forehead. The Saiyan frowned softly, but managed a smile as he locked eyes with Angeles, approaching both his lover and her sister. His smile turned into a puzzled smirk as they drifted to the red-winged Angel. He did not sit yet, only stood a few feet from them.
"Uh, hi there," He managed. "I am Roots," He nodded at Astraea.

Angeles
|
Astraea ordered Angeles another drink, and the fallen angel looked at it, then the angel, not entirely sure she understood, or trusted the change in her sister. She lifted and took a bit of the drink, but then coughed and choked on the burning.
Astraea wanted to meet Roots. Angeles knew the answers to her sister's questions. Roots was good for her, Roots was not good for her 'problem.'
And like destiny planned it, the saiyan entered. Angeles heard Bruce complain behind her, but all she could think of was how happy she was too see him, and how worried for him she was with her sister present.
"Roots," she said, surprised, as she slipped off the stool, drink completely forgotten, and wrapped her arms around him. She released him and slipped away, looking to Astraea. Roots introduced herself, and now it was her sister's turn, since last time she had introduced her, she was called rude.

Astraea
|
Hearing the entry and the man make himself known did not help her understanding. Seeing Angeles address him as Roots and embrace him made Astraea feel better. There had been worries of other people.
"Hello, my name is Astraea" standing and bowing to her sisters boyfriend before offering him a stool. "Did you plan on joining us? Angeles has been getting insight in new ways. I am also interested in your opinion of your relationship with my sister." Looking around at the other people in the bar she realized it may have been better outside. "Then again I don't know how well our conversation may go in here."

Roots
|
The Fallen was so happy to see him, and he could help but smile warmly in response to the Angel's embrace. Even with the heat of the desert, she was comfortably warm. He turned to the pure Angel. Her name was Astraea, and she was already on Roots' good list. Offering him a stool to drink? Of course!
The Saiyan nodded, grinning, taking his seat. Right about the time she said the word 'sister', Roots' eyes widened for a moment. He adjusted himself in the seat, and as she finished speaking he let out a long breath.
"My opinion of my relationship with your...sister," The Saiyan coughed, speaking a little slowly.
"Uhh....uhhh...." He fumbled with his words.
"Bruce, a big thing of vodka, please,"
His face was buzzing furiously red. Bruce was swelling too, but only because he was laughing at the Saiyan.

Angeles
|
Astraea wasted no time in being blunt with Roots and Angeles opted to take a seat between him and her sister so that he would have some line of defense from the red-winged angel as well as some comfort. Plus she wanted to sit by both of them, and this solved her problem.
As Roots ordered a whole think of Vodka, Angeles finished the one shot of tequila and was calling it good for the day with that. She sighed against the burn and leaned against the counter, watching as Bruce brought what Roots asked for.
"Why would this conversation not be appropriate for this place?" she inquired with her sister, looking at the angel, "as long as we're quiet about it and not declaring it to the world, we should be fine."
Poor Roots was in a bind, but he didn't have to worry about anything if he was honest.

Astraea
|
Hearing that they could stay in here so long as they did not yell was nice it gave Angeles and Roots a seat. Seeing Roots response was reminiscent of prior conversations she had with Angeles. "It is good you are less ashamed now about yourself sister. But it may get embarrassing since I seem to hit a nerve whenever we talk about this."
Seeing the seating arrangement Astraea felt it better to be standing for now. Leaning between the two she dropped into the questions. "So Roots what are your intentions with my sister? She seems to have a high view of you and you are a balm for her problems." After the directness she moved to sit next to her sister so that he could mull over the questions.

Roots
|
Thank Dragon Bruce worked fast.
The Saiyan quickly poured himself a drink. He was nervous, so nervous. His eyes rested on Angeles as she finished her tequila (That certainly wasn't going to help) and then spoke with her sister. He turned back to his drink of choice, and took the first of many good gulps from his vodka mug.
The bar was fine, sure. Daze had openly spoken much louder about much more vulgar things. He forced himself to gaze across the bar at Astraea and fight past the aching pain in his stomach to get past his embarrassment.
She didn't help. His intentions? Balm? What?
"Bruce, go ahead and bring me another," He muttered, taking another good glass, before filling it again. He was silent for a few moments, and then met Angeles' eyes for a moment.
It was enough to give him the strength to let a little of his embarrassment go. He spoke to his lover's sister.
"Well, I think my intentions are to keep doing what I've been doing," He winked, and then turned back to his glass.

Angeles
|
Angeles listened and wanted to smack her head against the counter top. This was not where she though the conversation was going. She lifted her head to glower at her sister, and the Roots looked at her. For a moment she was at a loss, and her face showed that, then she smiled lovingly. If Roots was honest, there would be no problem.
Damn Soonbas for being right for the upteenth time.
Roots drank some for some courage and looked at Astraea and answered the best way he could, which was good enough for Angeles, but she looked to the red-winged angel for her opinion, not that it entirely mattered. If she didn't like Roots, it wasn't going to change how the fallen angel felt about him.
Angeles reached over and laced her fingers with his.
"You better," she said in response to him with a teasing smile.

Astraea
|
|
Listening and watching how this emotional bomb was working out was educational. His answer was not overly satisfactory for her but Angeles was definitely soothed by him. "You do seem to be good for each other. I hope it works out for you two." Feeling it was her role to ensure her sister's well being she decided it prudent to let him know how it should not go. "Just know if you cause her undue pain in any form we will have words about it." Giving him a stern unwavering glare she wanted to ensure the point made it across.

Roots

Apparently his response had been good enough. The Angel found no resistance in Roots' hand, easily intertwining their fingers. He was grinning, but he still could not manage but blush as the Angel responded to what he thought was his own clever wit.
The anxiety in his chest dissipated as Astraea seemed to give her blessing, or at least some sort of acceptance. It was not lacking a warning, however, and the Saiyan frowned softly, remembering Celeste.
That was certainly something not appropriate to talk about at the time.
Roots hoped the Angel did not worry, although raised as a Saiyan, with a pathetic sense of relationship values, he saw no point in straying.
"Your holy message is received," He responded, turning back to his glass. Luckily, he had filled it before feeling the Angel's soft hands on his, and he took a long slug.
It was starting to kick in.
