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.

Daze
|
Daze had escaped from Demon World along with Angeles after a long and dreadful battle of...
Politics.
It was horrid. Talking, more talking. How to do this, how to do that. Military, government, beurocracy... Daze wanted to throw up. What was worse was he was in Zen Mode almost the entire time. He had to actually pay attention. It was dreadful. The things he does for his mates. He'd walk to the end of the world and even sit in the political meeting between an ancient Angel and Ancient Demon.
He truly treasured his mates.
Speaking of, Daze was looking for Roots. Well, he was after hanging out at his bar for a minute. He tore the place apart, looking for something. He didn't remember what, but something was missing. It was scratching at his brain. An itch he couldn't reach.
"Oi!" Daze shouted at nothing, hoping to get the attention of whatever it was he was looking for. "Man, maybe Bubble-Gum-Babe knows where it... OHHHHHHHHH" Daze stood, holding the sound of the "oh" for a good minute. Maybe less. No one is actually keeping track.
"Right, right, Pooches, got to find that mut," Daze laughed, turning purple for a minute before fading to wherever his mate was from the bar.

Roots
|
The Saiyan had finally mustered up some stones, but only after some time with the person he cherished most in this world. Daze's abilities to teleport across the planet would be a little wasted in that moment because Roots was actually only several hundred yards away on the other side of the village.
Roots had been standing in that square just outside the bar where it felt like so, so long ago he had met the human. Within five minutes of meeting each other, they had thrown blows.
Then they got drunk.
He was cloaked, and armored. No more chances. He couldn't be sure that Machi wouldn't show up at any time. He didn't bother to cover his head as he didn't actually think that Daze would notice his new haircut or the large scar that was now over his left eye, the largest on his face.
Daze fizzled into existence just a few feet from him, and Roots already felt the tears welling in his face.
"...Hey, Daze," He quietly muttered.

Daze
|
"Yo, Pooches, you sorry mutt, man, been lookin' around all day for somethin' and then I was like, 'bet Bubble Gum Babe will know' and fuckin' realized she was the somethin' I was lookin' around for," Daze rambled. "Forgot I dropped her off with you, did you train her like a pro? She gonna win the next tournament, BOOM BOOM POW!?" Daze questioned, throwing a few punches as if he were shadow boxing for a moment.
"Pooches....?" Daze asked, pausing and looking up at his mate. "You alright, bro?" Daze inquired, feeling like something was wrong.
For the first time in his life he felt weak to his stomach.

Roots
|
He hadn't turned to look at Daze yet. He couldn't. It was then he realized how lucky he had been that Angeles had simply been able to pick it from his brain. With Daze, it was the opposite. Roots would have to hammer it into him with his bare hands.
And they both would bleed.
Even Daze's shadowboxing would not enlighten Roots with even a grin. His mouth opened, but he found no words, only breath. He exhaled, and then brought his hand to his face, wiping at his right, and then his left eye. He finally met Daze's gaze with his own.
"You, y-you really can't feel her anymore, can you?"

Daze
|
Daze didn't understand the question. Technically, he's never been able to feel her. Well. Sort of. He's always known where she was before. He never officially tagged her, but just like an intuition. Mostly because she kind of hung out at the bar when he left somewhere. So he never really had to look elsewhere.
"I mean... no, I guess not," Daze said hesitantly, looking at Roots from a jarred angle. "Got a strange feelin' in my head. Like an itch on my brain. What's going on?" Daze asked, his stomach turning.

Roots
|
Telling his lover had literally been as easy as letting her read the chilling tale right from his mind. Celeste had been rough, but the Saiyan could hardly even form the first words. He had no idea how to even start. His hand pressed against his chest where the feather Angeles had given hI'm, hanging from his neck.
"Daze, I, I can't, I don't even...I don't know if I can even say this in a way you'll understand,". He wished for Angeles if but for a moment and suppressed the thought, too much and his lover would literally feel his pain, wherever she was on the planet.
"It's my fault, Daze. She's not gone, Daze, but, b-but..." He finally figured out exactly what he could say to make his friend understand.
"She's not...your bubble-gum babe anymore. Not anyone's,". Roots had managed to fight back the tears but at that point they began to stream down his face.

Daze
|
"Yo man, that's a pretty fucked up joke," Daze laughed, slapping Roots on the shoulder.
He didn't understand what Roots was conveying. Not fully. He knew it was bugging him. But Daze could tell he wasn't going to like what he was about to hear. Not in the least. It was going to be awful. He just knew it. He could feel it in the pit on his stomach.
"This... is a joke, right?" Daze asked, cocking a brow.

Roots
|
That's a fucked up joke.
There were a lot of things fucked up about what Roots had to tell Daze, and he wished it could have all been a joke. Oh, how he fucking wished. He had rarely seen this Daze so serious, and when he cocked his eyebrow, Roots let out a sob.
"I d-don't know how to tell you, Daze," He said, fighting back against the urge to break apart. He had shed enough tears. Daze needed his mate, then.
And Roots was going to fail him. The Saiyan had no idea what he was thinking, it was literally impossible to do so, but in that moment his ki flared and he blasted up through the air, away from Daze, and away from the village.
Maybe if he really, really wanted to he could outrun Daze. Even as he flew, he knew it was pointless.
He just couldn't find the strength to tell him. Not yet.

Daze
|
When Roots flared off, Daze knew. Right then. He knew something went wrong. Something happened to Machi. The turning in his stomach turned to tearing. Sweat began to run down to the tips of his fingers. Daze suddenly began to find it hard to swallow past the lump in his throat. Was it fear? Anger? Despair? Maybe a mix of all three.
But he had a burning question at the tip of his tongue.
And only Roots could answer.
"WHERE IS MACHI!?" A purple flame coated Daze shouted, just feet in front of Roots as he turned himself into a Fade portal.
His eyes were solid white, no color.
But yet, filled with distraught rage.

Roots
|
The purple flame on Daze scared Roots a little. He hadn't ever seen the human actually angry before. There was always a way for him to return to normalcy, with a 'Ahhh, fuck ya mate,' or something.
There would be no saving Roots that day.
The Saiyan actually flinched at Daze's questions, and while Daze's eyes had gone entirely white, Roots' eyes were bloodied, tired from crying. The hot tears were streaming down his face, and then the Saiyan clenched both fists.
"She's...." He choked out, gritting his teeth.
"I don't know where she is, Daze, but I know why you can't feel her!" He shouted.
"Talon White. Talon Wh-White tricked her, and...and then..."
"He broke the bond between the two of you. Machi is a free Majin,"

Daze
|
Daze calmed down.
Freedom.
He didn't know until the other day that Machi wasn't free. He could respect Freedom. It's all he ever wanted fro himself and the people around him. To be free. Nothing wrong with that. But something in his gut told him that wasn't it. A deep quelling of anger. A sudden weakness flooded his body, eyes returning back to their normal hue.
"Okay. Okay... okay... that's not so bad. She deserves to be free," Daze nodded, swallowing despite it's difficulty. "Is.... is that all...?" he stuttered.

Roots
|
"...Not even close," The Saiyan choked, reaching up with a hand to touch the new scar over his left eye with his right hand. It returned to his side a moment later.
"She was mad, Daze. More than just mad, she was furious. I...I ripped Talon White in half for what he did because he hurt Machi when he did it. I wasn't even entirely sure what had happened until it was over, b-but..." Still at his sides, both fists knuckles were almost white from clenching.
"And after I tore him in half, Machi...Machi absorbed him...
..And then she turned on me."

Daze
|
"She... turned on you... she absorbed Pointy?" Daze asked, repeating what Roots had to say, looking away from him, falling indefinitely in place via fade portals. "I don't understand... why would she...? Why would he...?" Daze winced, looking up at Roots with a perplexing look of despair.
"Roots... What happened to Machi?" He asked, tears welling in his eyes.
He didn't understand.

Roots

Pointy.
That might have actually made Roots laugh, but then, no. He was nowhere close to laughing, in fact, he was still crying. Not sobbing, not openly weeping, but the warm tears were still flowing down his face. The vibrating portal wizard was an eerie, and odd sight to lock eyes with while he informed him of this supernaturally terrifying ordeal.
"I d-don't really know what happened to her, Daze. She...she changed. She hated me. And she wanted me to die," High up in the air, Roots' head fell.
"She...she almost killed me. I could have stopped her, maybe, but...I didn't want to hurt her," His hand came to his scar, and he touched it lightly.
"She gave me this, and...now, I have no idea where she is. All I know is that she's...different." The Saiyan choked on tears, and he said one final thing.
"I wish we could find her. I want to help her,"

Daze
|
"Oh...." Daze said calmly. Roots' words fell on him like a beating drum. Harsher with each beat. Daze felt a weakness come over him, the grip on his rage subsiding, slipping... falling. His fade portal closed and Daze fell like a rock.
The impact was devastating. Such a large crater formed around the man on his back who still managed to have the strength to pull himself to his feet. The world around him seemed wrong. The colors, the smell, the sound. It was so alien to him now. His world shifted onto it's head. He felt helpless.
Strands of white silk webbing began to lace around his body. His hair began to thicken and lengthen to his mid back, torso and arms laced in the same material. No color to his hair anymore. Only his face was spared. Daze was lost. He was broken. He felt so vulnerable. So his body reacted, lacing him in a protective layer. A bubble to stay the world from him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Daze let out a wail, screaming at the top of his lungs as the ground around him sank in more. Rocks, dirt and debris began to lift skyward, shooting up at rapid speeds. His body was letting out a massive amount of energy, digging deeper and deeper until it climbed the ranks of the ten thousands, twelve thousand... thirteen thousand.
He was digging deep, finding a reason to be.

Roots
|
Roots knew something was wrong as soon as the word escaped his friend's lip.
It was nothing but a single syllable but the Saiyan knew it was much, much, much more than that. He watched his friend fall from the sky like a rock, and then with a mighty crunch the man's body collided with earth. Roots began to descend as well, landing just outside the crater Daze had created.
He did not need his scouter nor his nose to know that something else was coming. His eyes narrowed in on the man's body growing white and he grew concerned. He hesitantly flew forward towards the man laced in white, until he let out a scream. Power and force began to exhume in all directions and Roots had to raise a hand in front of his face to protect his eyes from rock and debris.
"Daaaaaze!" The Saiyan shouted, against the rocks and sound of crushing rock.
"Daze!!!!" He shouted again, planting his feet on the ground. He began to take steps towards the laced man, resolved on getting close enough to help his friend.
His mate.

Daze
|
There was no response from the man wrapped in white bindings. His eyes had no color... his soul no song to sing. Only cries of anguish escaped his mouth. The very reality of the world around him tore asunder as portal after portal began to tear the fabrics of time itself asunder.
"As my heart tore asunder... SO SHALL YOU ALL!!!" Daze sneered, the ground collapsing beneath him into the largest fade portal he has ever summoned.
And then he was gone.
Left to another world.

Roots
|
The Saiyan was making his way closer and closer to Daze, with both arms raised to protect him from the billowing dust and debris from the dark-skinned human's power. He could hear him screaming, like he was in pain, but there were no words, no words until portal after portal began to fizz into existence around Daze, and then with a shout, and actual words, a massive portal appeared underneath him and then he was gone.
For a single moment there was silence, after the wind had died down, and Roots' eyes focused in on the portal.
"God, fucking-"
His next words were spoken on another planet, as he had flew through the portal.

Angeles
|
Angeles had faded back to home, exhausted, drained. She dropped the charcoal corpse of the woman who murdered her sister, who called herself Andariel in her mind.
The ripir stood at the doorway of her and Roots' home, staring at the door, and slowly lifted her hands to look at the black soot that covered her palms, as black as her eyes. She stood there, the desert breeze cooled slightly by the oasis ran along her body and moved her coat to the side around her ankles.
Her mind continuously ran through what had just happened, over, and over. Her lips thinned, then she grimaced and another sob shook her shoulders and her hands curled into fists. Her mind was fuzzy, disjointed thoughts between what happened and what she should do now flickered and faded. Shower was the only thing that seemed to stick, to get the blood and ash off.
Sighing shakily she reached for the door.
And then Daze vanished off her radar, anger the last emotion he felt, pure unadulterated Rage, and then Roots was gone, sad and angry as well. Angeles froze, chilled to the bone, fingers not even touching the door. And then Goemon was gone, also furious, and then another of Daze's mates vanished, one unknown to her, but terrified.
"No," Angeles gasped and whipped around, "no, no no no NO!" Machi had attacked, likely using her multi technique to attack multiple mates at once. But she went to the one closest, the one in the desert, where Roots and Daze, the people she cared about most, had vanished.
A flurry of wings and a fade portal later she arrived to where they disappeared, and found another fade portal, one of Daze's.
The pain of loss stuck like a dagger in her chest, she didn't hesitate to fly through.
