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. We love new members and are a very welcoming bunch of people.

To say that the village was difficult to find was an understatement and to say that it had taken a miracle for jack to stumble upon it the first time he visited would have been the truth of the matter. Fortunately, and after much circling around, he managed to pick up on Daze's rather unique energy signature and followed it to the source, his home, his domain, and the capitol of the self-proclaimed King of the Desert. It was quite possibly the most bizarre life force Jack had ever detected...not that, that was saying anything considering that he had only been able to sense energy from living creatures for a number of weeks (A couple months at most up to that point in time).
He stepped past the unmarked village border and headed directly toward the bar where he felt certain he would find the drunk. He opened the door and allowed himself inside. He wiped his shoes off on the mat beyond the door to try and lift some sand off it, but he only ended up collecting more sand onto his shoes from the mat itself.
He looked ahead and noticed that the floor seemed relatively clean; so, he removed his shoes and set them outside. Rather than proceed barefoot, however, Jack merely manifested clean footwear around his feet then walked further into the bar.
He seated himself at the counter and waited to be served. During his wait, he looked around for his friend. Jack had definitely made a habit of dropping in on his friends rather frequently (something to which Roots could definitely testify). He hoped to find Daze somewhere nearby; otherwise, he would simply enjoy a couple drinks and then search elsewhere for the strange sorcerer.

Daze
|
"Yeah! That was a fuckfest, sorry for wastin' your time," Daze exclaimed from outside the bar. "See you later, have fun and some shit," he could be heard once more before entering the bar.
The person outside had left.
"Oi, Bruce, I'm thirsty..... Lurch?" Daze stopped, looking over at the familiar face. "Shit man, just stoppin' in like you live here. Good to see you," Daze laughed, walking over to where Lurch was sitting. "Oi, Shots, Rum. Pinapple," Daze exclaimed.
Bruce sighed with a smile, preparing some drinks.

Jack's ears helped pin point Daze's exact location long before his senses honed in on him. He looked to the entrance from which he entered and chuckled as Daze proceeded inside as though he owned the place...it was his domain, but Jack wasn't certain if he actually owned the bar or much of anything in the village. Now that he thought more on it, he realized he knew next to nothing about Daze other than the fact that the guy could be anywhere and do just about anything drunk or sober...usually drunk.
"I consider the entire planet my home, Daze," He told him. "I sometimes find a place to rest my feet now and again, but I'm usually just out and about and on the look out for whoever might need a bit of help, you know?" It was an answer he often offered to people who wondered why he was where he was when it just seemed so peculiar.
"Just a pitcher for me, please," He requested from Bruce after he had served Daze his drinks.

Daze
|
"All peace and love and shit. Yeah, I get it. Got to make everyone get along so that we're all happy. I don't think it's gonna work, but you try anyway. You'll actually help a couple people or somethin'," Daze teased, smiling when Bruce came with the pitcher and shots.
"You know, Daze, you could learn from your friend. Help others out instead of yourself all the time," Bruce stated, poking at Daze's pride.
"Yeah, yeah. I know. Just don't see the point. People gonna get fucked no matter what I do," he rambled.

"It's true, Daze..Bruce," He said, agreeing with Daze to an extent. "No matter what we end up trying to do, people end up hurt."
He drank from the glass already filled and provided alongside the pitcher and nodded his thanks with a smile to Bruce. "But I'll tell you something, Daze. Where I grew up, there were some children who never had a decent meal or place to sleep. Many of them ended up sick and dead. I was on my way in crossing over to the other side like thousands of other kids before me, but someone decided." He paused and drank deep from his glass so that only foam remained at the bottom of it.
"He decided that he may not be able to help out everyone, but what he did mattered. He couldn't save every child in East City, but his actions mattered, Daze.
"They mattered to this one." He said, pointing to himself. "This one's for you, Peter. Cheers to wherever you're at." He said as he poured himself another drink and drained it as quickly as the first one.

Daze
|
"Sure, yeah, helpin' people who can't help themselves, like kids 'n shit, is great. But fucks who just refuse to help themselves? You're only hurtin' them by offering them a helpin' hand," Daze said before taking a shot, inhaling deep afterwards.
"Those are the fucks I find that are askin' for help more than not. The shits all cowered up behind that big ass wall," he added, taking another shot.

Jack looked straight ahead and frowned for a moment as Daze spoke a little too harshly about people for his liking. There were plenty of people he knew in Central for whom he cared. "I can't live like that," He said.
"I can't because every life has value and I've made it my mission to let people know it. Hope, peace, understanding, joy, happiness, friendship, love, and all of those good things are what I wish to bring wherever I go."

Daze
|
"Eh, I guess. Some lives are just shit. If they're not willing to stand on their own two feet and live for themselves, then they're not worth much. Sitting back and moochin' on the people at the bottom. Ain't right," Daze complained.
In light of all this, Daze's been complaining about the people on top. Politicians, councilmen. Those of significant power who don't do anything, in his eyes. The ones in the heart of the city with the nicest houses. The little people he's cool with. Like's 'em.

"People all make mistakes and get in too deep to the point they can't get back up on their own. I'm sure you've seen it happen, haven't you? Like the time I came in here looking terrible?" He tried reminding Daze; not sure how much or how little the drunk remembered of that day.
Jack preferred not thinking too much about that time because the memories of what preceded their encounter hurt him deep. Whenever he revisited that moment in his life in which he lost her, he felt like breaking down again.

"That's different, you weren't unwillin' to help yourself. Shit went to hell in a hand basket for you and life gave you a big ole swift kick in the nuts. You needed help, at least a good kick in the ass or blowwy," Daze nodded.
"But these fucks, who just sit around on their fat asses while the world is starvin'? Nah. Fuck 'em. They ain't gettin' shit from me," Daze complained.

"The people who have it good don't need any help from either of us," He said in agreement. "It's everyone else who needs the strength we can offer them. Some may try taking advantage, sure, but I never really stick around in one place too long for them to do that. I help those I find who need it and then I let them move forward on their own. It's like you said, Daze. Some just need a little bit of a push." He put it a little more delicately than Daze and smiled at him as he drank from his glass again.
He had a feeling the two of them would continue getting along once Daze had shown himself to be mostly harmless and friendly. Jack could hardly recall why he had even considered him dangerous...oh, right, because he could appear anywhere at any moment in time and make an entire room full of people explode...not just the room, but also the actual people IN the room. Good thing Daze counted him as one of his mates.

Daze

"Yeah, but those greedy fucks aren't just content with what they got. They keep takin' and takin' from the people you're helpin' out. So every time you go over there and help the little guys, the fat cats up top are just helpin' themselves to your kindness. The whole city is built on the little guys back so the pieces of filth in power can sit on top," Daze complained, getting a tad philosophical for him.
He had very strong feelings about the Central City and government in general. He opposed the idea of a small group living nice off of the larger. It irked him to no end, but he was unable to do anything about it.
Well, he thinks that anyway.

"Yeah, there was some of that going around in Central when I used to live there," He admitted to Daze. "But I can't let the actions of a few ignorant and selfish people keep me from doing what I know is right. If it's as bad as you say it is then that is just one more reason I cannot stay idle and silent while most people suffer." He declared.

Daze

"YEAH! That's why we go over there and kick their ass, tear the wall down and show those pigs who's boss. ME!" Daze said with a hardy laugh, slamming his thumb into his chest before taking another shot.
"Course instead they decided to let the Green guys in. Which was good. I liked that option. Better than the other one... I would've busted the wall myself if they did the other one," he rambled.

He heard mention of that incident at the Wall before, but he had not been around at the time. He had been drifting through the ruins of the world to offer help elsewhere at the time; so, the details of the event escaped him.
"If we declared war on Central," Jack began slowly, "Then they'd send their soldiers to deal with us and anyone else who fights alongside us. The world will remember us as criminals and innocent lives will be lost for nothing.
"We'll find a better way, Daze. The King is a good man and he has good people working with him. We just have to let them know, somehow, of what's going on under their noses, right?"

Daze

"Criminal is just a term that the rich use to control the poor. Laws are made up, made up bullshit to control us," Daze complained. "Freedom is what's worth fighting for and the people slavin' away for the King are anythin' but free," Daze huffed, taking another shot.
"Sorry, sour subject. I don't much care for how big their britches have gotten," he contested.
This is obviously not the first time he's been drinking today.

"Honest work isn't slavery," Jack tried explaining. "Growing up, for me, that was slavery." He had difficulty continuing the conversation from there; freedom was the most important thing in life to him second only to life itself.
"Being free isn't about always having things your way because then other people end up hurt. Being free is about knowing who you are and becoming better no matter how many mistakes you make or what others have done or said to hurt you."

Daze

"Pffft. It's slavery with a different name," Daze retorted, taking another shot.
"That's not freedom, that's just learnin'. Freedom is being able to do what you want, not actually doing. But having the ability to do it. Without anyone able to tell you no or restrict you from doing it. Sure, sometimes there's repercussions cuz some bloke'll kick your ass if you step in his shit.
But you can't tell me anyone in that city is truly free? They're stuck there because the outside is too dangerous. It's a prison. They're too weak to survive out so they sacrifice their freedom for the illusion of peace. But they're just slaves to the system," Daze rambled some more.

Jack chuckled at that, he had felt the same way for a while...maybe not exactly the same, but he could not return to or stay in the city for extended periods without feeling as though he was trapped behind a wall with other people just hiding and waiting for things to get better.
"Fear is what oppresses many people and there are those who use that to their advantage to maintain control." He admitted, remembering how Tao had threatened Haven Port and its people with slavery and death. "But the King isn't like that at all. I just think things are being kept from him and that people are just taking advantage of him so they can do whatever it is that they please.
"And, I could be guessing here, but maybe, just maybe, Furry lost his confidence to rule after seeing all of his people suffer and most of them die while he wasn't able to do anything to stop it." He pondered aloud.
"Do you have any idea what that feels like, Daze? To have promised to take care of someone only to have them die and all you can do is watch it happen?" Jack knew and he wondered if there was anything he could do about it.

"Yes," he answered plainly.
"It's what it means to be my mate... it means I'm gonna be there for you no matter what. Even if it means I got to protect you from yourself," Daze said plainly with likely the most emotionless tone he's had since he arrived back home.
"Lost one of my mates... haven't felt or heard from another in almost a year... I don't even know if Queen-y is still alive. Just... nothin'," Daze sighed heavily, taking another shot. "I'm tired," he complained, stepping up from his chair, knocking it over in the process.
