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.

Roots
|
Roots wasn't sure if Daze was ready. He wasn't sure if he himself was ready, but his anger had escalated beyond the point of waiting anymore. Since he had seen the devastation in Terminus and seen the sorrow and despair in Haven, he had kept hold of this anger, let it sit, and hoped it would calm itself.
It had not. And when his wife had told him that she literally could not be mad at the human, it was a slap in the face and salt on the Saiyan's already aching wound.
He had waited for perhaps a day, but when his lover had left to seek out the one named Kamrun, the Saiyan knew it was time. That was why Roots was in the desert village, and he stepped through the door to Bruce's bar, and met eyes with the man.
"Hello, Bruce. Where is Daze?" His tone was...off. Bruce was an older man-he could likely see the anger in Roots' face.

Roots
|
He accused him of lying, quite quickly, and Roots' face curled into a frown. He wasn't sure what Angeles had told him, but the Saiyan's memories were clear. In his mind, it was Andariel that killed Astraea. Whether or not that was fact was left up to the beings beyond.
Perhaps Aamon knew.
He turned away from the man, not wanting to hear the story again but unable to speak. He went on, and Roots finally let a tear fall from his face when the man implied that it was their fault Astraea had died. His mouth opened for a moment but he found no words.
He was quiet for several moments, stewing in his anger, hatred, and sadness.
"I thought like you at first, I did. She had her memories, yes, she had her face, yes, but she was nothing, nothing like Astraea. You didn't see her then, Daze. I still remember the first thing she said," The Saiyan cleared his throat.
"I didn't want to hurt her, I wanted to try and stop her, talk to her, contain her...find out what might have been left of her, but when..." His voice trailed off again, but he quickly spoke again.
"I still remember the way she dropped what was left of Astraea like it was trash. And I remember the way she taunted Jack. I wanted to believe, I did, but...she was gone. You w-weren't...you weren't there, Daze. You saw her at the tournament, and then you made it your choice to hide her away. " He wiped at his face.
"Is that what you think though, really? Do you blame me for Astraea's death? Why not tell Angeles it's her fault, too, for wanting to break the sword at all?" He growled.
"Fuck you, Daze. We wanted to help her. All of us did, even Jack, from the very beginning. We cared about her. ...We loved her," His eyes began to fill with fury as tears streamed.
"And you took a piss on her memory by letting the abomination that sucked the life from her tarnish the reputation of your friends and kill innocent people!"

"Help her by killing her? Don't string your bullshit. You may have stood there and done nothing, but you sure didn't stop Angeles from trying to kill her. Who could blame her, though? Andariel looked and sounded just like the sister she just watched die. I'd be hard pressed to keep my composure as well.
Of course I don't actually blame you all for what happened. It was an accident. You didn't do it on purpose... just wanted you to know how it feels to have the finger pointed at you and have someone accuse you of something you didn't do.
Did I burn Haven? Of course not. Andariel did. I gave her a chance at life and freedom. Something she was never offered by anyone else. She had only known faces that wished to cause her harm. I was the first one who did something beyond that.
Was it a shitty choice? Yeah. I accept that. I fucked up giving her a second chance at life. If I had known she was going to forsake that and betray me I would have spaced her like I nearly did. I took her away from the tournament to see what was really going on. I knew Jack's, Angeles' and your judgement was clouded. You all made up your minds.
I needed to make up mine and see it from a perspective the three of you couldn't. Not your fault you couldn't. If I were there and saw what you saw, I'd likely have a different opinion. But I wasn't there. I had to form my own opinion. The three of you were acting out in a way that was fit for the moment. You weren't given a lot of time to react and think it out.
I was... and that's why I gave her the chance. I was able to weigh it all out and figure out she didn't kill Astraea on purpose. The magic energy from Aasmon slayed her. Andariel was born the moment the energy took over her body. Energy doesn't have a consciousness, Roots.
It just doesn't..." Daze finished.

Roots
|
Roots growled a few times in anger while Daze spoke but he did let him speak his entire piece.
If they started yelling, it would be a very fast track to the middle of nowhere. Roots almost thought it might have worked. It was Saiyan therapy, after all. There were several things that Daze said that kept the Saiyan in check.
The first was that he made very clear he did not think it their fault Astraea died.
The second were three magical words, 'I fucked up,'
But Roots still had some strong words for him.
"So tell me, Daze, how did this unclouded judgement turn out? How did your new perspective work out for you? Because as far as this Saiyan can tell, it looks like your unbiased and unclouded mind let Andariel wreak havoc on Haven! Does it fucking matter if she killed Astraea on purpose? She certainly didn't seem to mind. And who pays the price, Daze? Who pays the price?" He pointed a thumb at himself.
"I pay the price. Angeles pays the price. They don't just think we're monsters, they think we killed their family, burned their homes. And you know what the worst fucking part is? Angeles can't even hate you, like you deserve. She can't even stay angry at you. Because by some fucking cruel spin of this FUCKING PLANET, her infinite kindness and love, it..." He trailed off, and cursed.
"It extends to you, too," He wanted to spit, but he settled on rubbing more ash into Daze's windowsill. The cigarette helped, too.

"It was a combination of shitty things and shitty decision. No one's hands are clean. Quit trying to put the blame on one person in particular because we all fucked up. Just because I did it most recently doesn't mean I get to take all the blame for the mistakes of others," Daze stated firmly.
"I am not your scapegoat and I am no martyr. If that's what you came seeking, continue looking. You wont find one here," Daze said plainly, looking away from Roots at the floor, sighing deeply.
The sad thing is, he missed Andariel. The way she was before she decided to betray him. She was mischievous, sure. But she never did anything harmful to anyone. She played her pranks and had her fun. But killing innocent people was just... it was unlike her. At least... unlike how he thought she was.
Daze got to know her in ways Roots didn't and in ways Angeles wouldn't. How could they? They'll never get to know the fun loving fairy prankster. She's dead now.
"Tch.. and don't act like you two are the only one's who've paid the price."

"Do you r-really believe the pain in Haven is just as much my fault, or Angeles' fault, as it is yours?" He said after a few moments. He had lost a lot of the anger in his tone. Whether or not he was tired of yelling or had a better grip on his emotions.
"You gave her the key to escape, D-Daze. We told you, all of us did, that she would hurt people, and she did." He let out a small cough, still pushing back at his tears.
"We told you, and you trusted her over your friends, and look where it got us, Daze," He was quiet again for a moment, and then his eyes came up, staring at Daze.
He growled.
"And what price have you paid, D-Da...." He trailed off, but bit his tongue.
He knew this had been coming.
"What price did you pay, Daze?!"

"Her actions and choices with her new-found freedom were hers alone. I am guilty of freeing her and betraying my friends trust. Nothing more. If you're looking for fingers to point it goes far beyond me all the way to Talon for starting this madness to begin with. Don't stop at me just because I fucked up most recently. We all fucked up and we all played a part," Daze stated to his initial comment.
"And you know damn well what price I paid... the price we all paid for not stopping Talon sooner. The price we all paid for letting him get away with what he did for so long. The price we paid for me being in the dark about it all for too long," Daze sighed...
"I don't want to talk about this anymore. You can let yourself out if you still do."

The Saiyan actually laughed. It didn't last long, but he let it out for a few seconds before silencing himself. When Daze was finished, and he asked him to leave, the Saiyan shook his head.
"No, Daze. No," He chuckled again, wishing he had a second smoke.
"So that's how it is, huh? We told you she was vile, and wicked, and you freed her, and you lied to us about it. And even with your fucking head screwed on straight you can't see how the pain she caused is your responsibility?" Again, he shook his head.
"No, Daze. That's fucking cowardly. And you're a dragon-fucking coward, hiding away in here from the world, not even willing to admit there's blood on your hands," The Saiyan finally stood, scrambling to his feet.
"So I'm not going anywhere. I'm not going to let you hide, and if you're smart..." His eyes flashed, staring at the glow of the fields around Daze's orbs.
"You won't try and hide from me,"

"You resort to insults because you lack the words to protest what I've said. The lives lost at Haven are a tragedy but the only person to blame is Andariel. You're just upset because you still feel wronged and the person to blame is dead already. You're looking for a place to shift the blame because you didn't get reprise from the situation," Daze accused.
"And I'm not running. I'm healing. I'm rethinking my position on this world. I can't help anyone right now because I need help myself. I intend to make amends for the destruction I caused. But right now, being around other people is dangerous. I'd do my harm than good to these people. So I've isolated myself from the world until I can trust myself around other people," Daze explained.
"But you're a Saiyan. You're no Human. I can't expect you to understand how we process things. How we heal and how we react. You're tougher than we are. Not just physically. You're warriors, bred to shake off feelings and emotions quicker. You get angry, because anger makes you stronger. I need time and I need to be alone.
You'll do more harm than good," Daze added.

Again, he was quiet, although he certainly didn't want to be.
"Is that really all you think of me in the end, Daze? My...mate? I just get angry, get mad, and then everything is alright?" He said it with some venom, and inhaled sharply through his nose a few times.
"If that were true, I wouldn't have nightmares about that day, Daze, because you don't know half of what happened that day. Not because we didn't try to tell you, no. But because you didn't want to listen," He bared his teeth, feeling his anger swell, but he controlled himself.
For now.
"I'm not just a Saiyan. There's more in here," Again, two sharp inhales through his nose.
"I watched Angeles burn Andariel's body on our front doorstep, and then I watched her ash float away in the wind. She wanted to hurt people, and I saw her pay for that. I know you didn't want to hurt people, Daze. You think I don't? But I'll never be able to look at you, and not see the man who kept me from protecting the people I promised to protect. I'll never be able to see Daze, the man I put my trust into, the same way ever again." He shook his head, and then looked out the man's window.
"And that's not fair, Daze. It's not fair to me, and it's certainly not fair to Angeles."

"There you go again, trying really hard to spin blame specifically on me. You're trying so very hard to make me feel even worse for what had happened. What's the point? You don't think I know what happened? I felt her die. She was tagged as my mate, because for a while... she was. So trust me, I felt it," Daze admitted.
"I know you're more than just a Saiyan. I just don't expect you to understand everything I'm going through because your culture is so different than mine. You're raised different and taught different. You're going to cope differently. Don't try to bullshit me that you don't get angry a lot. You're one of the angriest motherfuckers I know outside of Glacius," Daze said, pointing at Roots with a sly grin, a bit of humor in these upsetting times.
"What's not fair is being woken up and punched by someone you considered family; having them throw your mistakes in your face, have them point their finger at you accusing you of things you already feel shitty about and have the nerve to even talk to begin with after after his own act of betrayal," Daze stated. "Don't talk to me about fair. Life isn't fair. Bitching about it doesn't make it better," Daze concluded. "I can't change what I did. I can't reverse time... I tried when Astraea died... I failed."

Roots

Family.
The word caught Roots off guard. One of his thoughts in the last couple of weeks had been to consider if Daze even really considered Roots his friend. But the man went beyond that and called him family...?
He was speechless. To the degree that he looked down from Daze's window, and a tear fell down his face. At least the man didn't see it. He brought a hand up and wiped at it, and then turned, letting his eyes rest yet again on the coherent human.
"My act of betrayal?" He repeated, turning his body around entirely to stare at Daze. Roots felt his anger within him clashing with the sadness, metal against metal. It hurt.
"You mean my failure," He said openly, meeting the human's eyes. He felt the tears welling, but he pushed back at them as best he could.
"I sure wish you were right about me, though. Just let it all out in anger, rage, blood. Then I'd wake up and be fine, right Daze? ...Right!?" He let out a hot breath of air through his nose, and shook his head.
"At least I didn't lie to you about it. I didn't hide it from you! How can you consider me family but turn around and do this?"

"No, I mean your act of betrayal," Daze corrected. "I know you, I know your strength. I know when you're holding back... I know you held back when fighting off Talon. I've sized him up. He's good, but he's not on your level, not even at half of your level. I know damn well you didn't give it your all to stop him. He half-assed it, but that's fine. We make mistakes and we live with them," Daze said, obviously angry due to his tone. "We move on and we try to live..." he scoffed, punching the pillow beside him lightly.
Well. Lightly by his standards. A normal human would think of it as hitting it very hard.
"Yeah, I lied to you and Angeles. You're right. We tell the worst lies to the people we care for to try to protect them. I originally took Andariel away from the tournament so Angeles didn't have to kill the demon that wore her sisters face," Daze explained. "I tried to keep her from having to do that, keep you from having to help her cope through that... but I pitied the creature. Saw that it didn't have a choice in it's creation and sought to give it new life. Thought maybe with a new body and a new start it could be happy and leave you lot well enough alone.
I was wrong and I was wrong to lie about it. I was wrong to show pity," Daze finished.

"My...act of betrayal..." He repeated, softly. His clearly curled into anger while Daze spoke. He wasn't sure what riled him more, but he knew he felt his blood almost boiling. The man socked his pillow, and the noise was loud.
Daze was controlling himself enough to not break things, but when the Saiyan had kicked his bed, he had left a mark that would probably stay there forever. Not to mention what it did to the red velvet. Daze's words went on but the Saiyan's vision blurred slightly.
It sickened him. He knew the man was right, but did he dare call it a betrayal? It was straight from one fire, and into another.
"My act of betrayal?" He repeated, again, voice growing louder. He took a step closer to the human, letting his eyes rest where he had struck him just minutes ago. He was already healed. A glance down at his own hand let Roots' know he had done more harm to himself.
"You've fuckin' forgotten what happened right after that. If I hadn't been there, Machi would be listening to Talon's every command right now." He turned away from him, cursing, as several tears fell from his face.

"Forgotten? I never knew the details Roots. You tried to run from me instead of telling me what happened. I was hysterical when you told me the small bits. How could I forget what I never knew? I don't even know where Machi is. I can't feel her. I don't know if she hates me or wants to find me... I hoped that maybe she'd come seeking me out here, but she hasn't. I can only assume she wants nothing to do with me," Daze winced.
"It makes me think that maybe she never actually liked me. It was just the magic that bound her to me that made her tolerate me," Daze sighed, looking away from Roots again. "I don't hold it against you. You're not responsible for Talon's actions. We're all responsible for letting him walk around as free as he was for as long as we did. But what he did with his life was his choice. He's the only one the blame," Daze forced, knowing that's what his mind told him.
"It doesn't mean I'm not... disappointed. I thought you were stronger. I thought I could trust you with her life. It was my fault for thinking that way. I should have never left her with you so I could keep Angeles from having to venture into Demon World alone," Daze sighed. "She shouldn't be in that realm at all much less alone," he added, slouching down a bit.
He was tired of being tense, tired of the harsh words. He just wanted to sleep.

Roots
|
The Saiyan felt guilt, because he knew where Machi was. Even in the intense fight that occurred after Talon's death, Roots had used his nose enough to get a lock on Machi. If he needed to find her, he could.
And Daze desperately had hoped that she would seek him out, but she had not. Roots turned, and let his eyes gaze out the window once more because he did not want Daze to see his tears. Anger still flooded his body, although it already dialed down to a point that the Saiyan regretted sucker-punching Daze.
Only the sucker part of it, however. He glanced down at the ground, and grit his teeth.
"...I did hold back," He admitted after a few moments, through a pained cough. He could not stand to look at Daze.
"I held back, Daze," He repeated himself.
"...I was afraid. Even after everything, I didn't want to kill him. Of c-course... He brought his hand up, the one that had struck Daze, the same hand that had torn Talon White's body in half, ending his life. The same hand came up and touched the scar that Machi had given him.
"Even I could tell when Machi became unbound. And I knew I had failed you, and her. And I ripped that motherfucker in half," He turned, glaring at Daze.
"But don't you dare fucking tell me I betrayed you,"

Daze

"Hey, I don't fault you. Not anymore. I blamed you at first and a part of me is still angry at you for it. I can only fault you for being afraid and holding back. Nothing more. Betrayal is harsh. I just kind of thought of you as this unstoppable warrior, like one of my comics I read, ya know? Champion of justice, righting wrongs. Don't let the bad guys win kind of deal. I mean, you're a Defender of Earth. I made you more than human in my mind, I'm sorry. It was wrong of me," Daze sighed.
"It was more of a delusion on my part. Reality betrayed my fantasy," Daze sighed. "The one at fault is dead now. Talon White is no more, Andariel is no more... the nightmare of those two are gone," Daze slouched more until he was sort of just laying down.
"And we have plenty more to look forward to."

Roots

The Saiyan found himself confused, and then angry. Just seconds before the man had told him he had betrayed him, but now, now he claimed that he did not fault him. Roots' brow furrowed, and his eyes turned back to he window, to the peaceful village just outside the finely crafted walls. Daze spoke of comics, and a Defender of the planet, and it tore at Roots.
Because that's what he wanted to be. More than Human. More then Saiyan. Daze's tone seemed to concede but Roots still felt so much anger. Fury, a fire. He wasn't even sure what he was so goddamn mad about anymore, but he hated that in a way, Daze was right. Between Haven, and Terminus, and Machi, it culminated into something even he wasn't sure of. He closed his eyes.
"Daze," He finally said, not turning to face him. Both hands, at his sides, curled tightly into clenched fists, and his energy began to surge. The bar shook, but only softly, and the Saiyan ceased before any damage was done.
"I almost wish I hadn't put the bracers on you. Makes you wordy. Makes you think clearly. Keeps you calm. We still have so much to discuss, but I'm tired of talking,". He was silent, knuckles growing white. He wanted to hit the man, again, and again, but more importantly than that he wanted Daze to hit him back.
"When I got here, you offered to take us somewhere. I think I'd like you to do that,"

Daze

"Hahaha," Daze laughed. "Wordy, huh? Spoken like a Saiyan," Daze taunted playfully. "So you want to duke it out and let go of the anger swelling in you?" Daze asked, almost rhetorically. "Sure, yeah. I get it. Suppressed as it may be, a part of me gets excited over that," Daze admitted.
Despite being in control of his mind, there was still the guy who liked getting into fights deep down in there.
"Yunzabit Heights," Daze said aloud. "I've never been there myself... but it's abandoned. No person lives there. You can fade, right? With your tech. Meet me there, you'll get your fight," Daze exclaimed.

Roots

Roots wanted to return the laugh, and chuckle, but he couldn't. A part of him that rarely woke up was ready. The last time he had really let it out had been the tournament against Zuus. Luckily, that same Android had kept the Saiyan from tapping into it again just a day or so ago when the seeker had attacked him.
At least Daze somewhat understood. It was more than just the easing of tension. As much as Roots hated it, his Saiyan pride was fueling this desire for violence. Words had failed him. His anger still remained, furious at Daze.
The cloaked Saiyan said nothing but slowly reached into his cloak, and then after a moment pulled out a small, metallic object. He tinkered with it for a moment, and then turned back, glaring at Daze.
"Don't keep me waiting,". Was all he said before he channeled his energy into the remote and in a flash of colors, he was gone, but left a very unfortunate black burn on the red velvet floor.

Daze

"I have such intentions, I just need to let Bruce know what's going on. In case Kamrun comes home looking for me," Daze smiled, giving Roots a thumbs up. His smile was forced and weak. He was trying to ensure Roots through gesture that he wouldn't leave him hanging.
Daze stood up where Roots left, letting out a weak sigh. He knew this day would come. The day he would have to test his mettle against his demons. Little did he know the demons would take the form of his old friends.
"I can't just leave it like that..." Daze said, looking at the damage caused to his bed and floor.
He looked down at his hands and back at the damage. He knew he was no good at creation. He simply didn't have it in him. He was a manipulation mage. He could change things, bust holes in spacetime and alter his body. Creating was something out of his skillset.
"I'm tired of being so helpless, I've tried to do more than just destroy, but I simple can't. It didn't work for Astraea? Why would it work now?" Daze sighed, stretching his hand out at the damage almost out of anger. "Come on magic, you wouldn't listen to me before because I wasn't all there. But now I'm in control, I can see and think clearly now. Head my command!" Daze growled, the space around his arm vibrating violently as the energy he mustered began to alter the carpet and the bed.
The bed itself began to slide back in place, the carpet returning back to it's normal hue. The foot print on the bed itself began to just fade.
"I... I did it..." He muttered with parsed breathes. "I might... no, I can do it. I can change things. I just have to get stronger. But first, I have to deal with Roots. Then I can fix Haven. I can undo what Andariel did... and then I can help with Terminus, assuming there's anything to help with," Daze sighed, turning away so he could go talk to Bruce.
