If hopecore stuff is up your alley, it genuinely might dethrone Kill La Kill for you.

Makes sense that KLK is what gave you love for the studio, genuinely great series despite how some people act about it.

JoJo's being in top 3 is a tasteful AF choice. Good stuff.

If you like Kill La Kill so much, have you given Gurren Lagann a chance yet? Or still holding off on that front?

Second one.

#dboc #oc #ocs #dragonball
Treble's Sheet, done by Amartbee and overview. A girl born to parents who became renowned war criminals on Planet Sadala-- Treble was abandoned shortly after birth and grew up not only an orphan, but an outcast even among the undesirables. A passive and gentle Saiyan lacking the ambition or understanding of the thrills combat provides, let alone the concept of the war hero culture that runs rampant on Sadala. She spent many of her formative years, essentially alone, not despised by any means, but moreso invisible, a background character in the lives of others. This all changed upon meeting her partner, and Chayot's sister, Ruta. A teenager at the time and a thief with an up-and-coming name in the slums of Saiyan Society. Having chosen to swipe fresh shipments of meat from that very same facility, a young Treble saw that this other girl was also alone and elected to leave her comforts behind and trail along, growing a sense of respect for her guts and ambition. The two essentially grew up together fighting off soldiers of the Sadalan Army, attempting to take Ruta into custody or exile her off the planet, and repeatedly failing as a result of the duo's coordination. This was the case until a stronger soldier, one possessing eyes and aura of Jade Green assailed the two and beat them to the point of being at the edge of defeat. Treble's desperation in that moment, close to losing the nearest person to family she had, caused her to awaken as the first Super Saiyan of the main trio. Following a narrow victory as a consequence of this transformation? Ruta begrudgingly agreed with Treble's growing sentiment to leave Planet Sadala behind, the pair stealing a ship. As a result of outside forces, their voyage did not go as they expected, and they wound up crossing into Universe 7. Starting a chance encounter and a new chapter in their lives, one which Treble was receptive of. ...Ruta however...will be explained later. Mantra Treble done by Dazz/drag0nartzz. Combat Profile Treble's role in battle is typically defined as that of the back-up dancer to Ruta, Chayot, or some other heavy hitter. Not quite as gifted in raw power, but compensating with having elemental magic in her arsenal, along with a fine attunement to the creation of energy constructs such as daggers, long-swords, shields, and other weaponry. Her knowledge on martial arts comes from secondhand gleaning from members of Sadala's military, Chayot, and her own ingenuity. Once close combat is on the table, she typically resorts to dismantling an opponent with dance-like moves, using either bladed constructs, ice, or lightning to outright prevent them from fighting back any longer. If shortly described as an actual martial arts style on Earth. It could be best compared to Crane Kung Fu. Treble's transformations shown onscreen included Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2 with enhancements, and the one pictured here which is labeled Mantra State. The result of a Genki Infusion technique from the Kai's. An ability that allows one to hear the voice of the planets and stars, synchronizing with them to become what can only be described as a living spirit bomb. This technique's only known limitations are the universe itself and how much of it the user's body can draw in before losing that synergy and turning into stone. Treble emote done by kadproductionz. Misc stuff. -Treble's inspirations include Tifa, Aerith. the partner from PMD2, and my attempt to do a take on Caulifla and Kale's dynamic. -Is the only main character of mine training directly under a Kai at this moment. -Is the only one who has custom voice work done, by Hannah Chapin. Not sure if she's on here yet. -Despite Chayot initially being my main character. Treble has been more associated with me in recent times. -I've considered giving her a life magic ability similar to the Kaioshin's ability to create, but having it work similar to alchemy from FMA. Not sure if I still plan on it.

Third. It's time for Ruta as well. Rounding out the main trio.

#dboc #oc #ocs #dragonball
Ruta's character sheet, also done by Amartbee. Another overview. The rude, brutish, and crass brawler of the Sadala Trio and the eldest. Ruta was born and raised on Planet Sadala unlike her brother by Lage and Mirli, both decently achieved warriors of the Sadala Defense force, until her father was exiled from the planet without much explanation. Ruta at the tender age of around 8 years old, eventually fled from home as a direct cause of this, seeing her mother become miserable and both of them were fearful that she'd be taken next. Growing up entirely living off the slums of Sadala, fruit of the land, and occasional assistance from members of Caulifla's gang, she grew up a delinquent and a thorn in the side of the lower rank soldiers sent to apprehend her. Eventually meeting a young Treble and growing bolder as she'd finally gotten a partner in crime, picking more fights, having a small haul of treasure under her belt rather than just food and necessities, and growing into more of an inconvenience. This directly causes the events stated in Treble's overview and the two choose to eventually leave Sadala behind, begrudgingly in Ruta's case. Crossing entire universes and winding up meeting with a brother she never knew even existed, and only catching on later. She wound up roped into life on Earth, and despite her love for picking fights and thievery, she's started to acclimate to the Earth's customs. Despite harboring a newfound fondness for the varied fighters, delicious food, and people who truly seem to care about her despite a violent and crude nature? She still lived in the past for a long time, regarding the family she lost at a tender age, and sought to get that back at all costs, pursuing greater strength for that exact purpose. The direct result of this being the Sadala arc. Ruta sparring with Chayot, combat related info time. Ruta's fighting style is insanely aggressive, best compared to that of an in-boxer who is obsessed with pressuring her opponents with swift and powerful bombardments. Capable of transforming at will into three states; Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan 2, and surprisingly enough Super Saiyan 3. She was the first to make the ascension past the second level and as a result of witnessing the grievous stamina drain, Treble and Chayot both chose to focus on Super Saiyan 2 instead and enhance it further, running off the hypothesis that if Super Saiyan had variants like the Grades, that Super Saiyan 2 must be similar. Super Saiyan 3 has been an active detriment with Ruta's fighting style for a long time, making her require support if she was up against an opponent strong enough to necessitate the usage of the form and sufficiently durable to survive the onslaught. She's been working on alleviating this, though. Additionally, she is a master of a more niche fighting style known as the Spinning Iron Top Fist, or Beigoma Ryu. A technique which turns the very winds into the user's weapon, forming kiai which can be controlled and made into piercing shots, drill like rotating strikes, tornadoes, or even simply cutting slashes. This is coupled with the ability to forge fairly advanced ki constructs such as war hammers or great swords. All in all, she is a fairly seasoned powerhouse fighter, and has the explosive strength to justify a straighter approach

I've left the master thread to rot for a while, gonna probably get two or three out this weekend though! A break from the Saiyans, meet Nichi! The Daybreak Kai.

#dboc #oc #ocs #dragonball
Casual Hoodie Nichi art done by Daiku (friend of mine on Discord) Nichi is a member of the Glind Tribe/Kaioshin, living in the sixth universe and at one point was a candidate to overtake Fuwa as the next overseer of the universe. This however deeply contradicted the admiration for mortal life which Nichi had gained through consistent visits to the lower realms alongside a companion. Despite being trained for the position of Supreme Kai? He refused this, and went rouge, intent on watching over mortals in a more direct manner-- believing that he could aid them on the right path to prospering, and that Universe 6's pitifully low mortal level following the Tournament of Power, could be blamed on the hands-off approach. In his ten thousand years of life currently he has seen the rise and fall of empires, the birth of legends, and blooming cultures of all varieties. Causing him to gain a deep respect particularly for the human means of expression such as art or especially music. Having incorporated musical instruments into his variety of magical techniques and honing this craft to such a fine point that the songs he plays can not only give life but be felt in the soul of those who listen. Upon his debut into the story, he finds Treble, who had been left behind through a freak accident on Planet Sadala and enlists her assistance in taking down a threat to the stability of the sixth universe. One that Nichi fears could not only tear apart countless civilizations mercilessly but, be intent on slaughtering the God of Destruction Champa. The pair formed a partner/mentorship and through him? Treble has realized even a universe which treats her with apathy shouldn't be left to suffer. The first illustration of Nichi in Supreme Kai robe, done by LeraDraws on Twitter. Personality In most cases Nichi comes across as a mellow and well-spoken individual, remaining cordial with most people he comes across and HIGHLY inquisitive on foreign cultures across the universe. Alongside this he holds a deep distaste for the idea of standing idly by as the universe unfolds around him, inaction and neutrality in his eyes are simply allowing injustice to continue when something could otherwise be done. Extra Details Nichi's fighting style would be most closely associated with Aikido and tactically speaking, he's keener on playing support. Due to techniques such as paralysis and the Kai Kai? He is plenty adept with this. A signature technique of his is the Kai Kai KO which consists of grabbing onto the victim and warping in a frenzy to induce nausea. Ironically enough, a consequence of his training for Supreme Kai not being fully complete: is that for long distance usage of Kai Kai, he usually requires exact locations of the destination (I.E. the general star coordinates of a planet) Aside from this it is also notable that Nichi has witnessed multiple notable races fall over time and these have influenced his choice to go rouge: Humans and Tuffles happen to be examples of this. Both examples hit Nichi rather hard as he had a fondness for Earth's culture and believed the technological prowess of the Tuffles could've brought greatness to the universe, yet the corruption running rampant through their people. . . brought them to ruin. Details of Nichi's design include the stardust halo over his head as a common piece, eyes of a piercing blue (think somewhat similar to Gojo Satoru from JJK's Season 1.), Nichi's favorite foods are cheesecake and various seafood dishes from across U6's North Quadrant.

As promised, another one and continuing the brief Saiyan break.

Karuba, my second try at a Namekian character.

#ocs #oc #dragonball #dboc
Karuba render done by Daiku. Overview Karuiba is a Namekian from the sixth universe-- taking cues from sea slugs in the form of feelers across his arms and unique antannae. This is also reflective from his diet, that of a pescatarian, preference for oceanic climates, bioluminscence, and the ability to manipulate toxins from these feelers. These alternate Namekians are simply part of the bioversity in the sixth universe's Namekain population, albeit uncommon in comparison to the more well-known garden variety. Karuba's own personal story is one known in folklore in the sixth universe, he as an individual is one wrought with both mystery and tragedy alike. As he was one of the few living creatures in the sixth universe granted immortality through the dragon balls, and the ten thousand years of misery which came from it, among other blunders, are the reason that the dragon balls are well guarded artifacts on Namek: unlike the seventh universe, the only way one will find them off of Namek's soil, is by hunting down the super dragon balls. Karuba was granted eternal life in an attempt to protect his tribe's home world from a threat destined to come to it, but it'd never come. The intended purpose behind his wish for immortality was moot, and instead of living to become the world's protector, he watched civilization shrivel up and the planet itself die steadily over time. Over ten thousand years have passed since that day according to folk tale and Karuba now lives as a hermit passing across the galaxy, lacking any sort of purpose or most attachments. He longs for either a proper death or a reason to continue living, despite the burden he was given. Second Karuba render done by Rasbipac on Twitter. Extra Notes. Karuba's favorite food is fresh caught and grilled fish with puff-puff fruit glaze (the fruit from the Dragonball Super Manga, which Beerus and Champa fought over on their birthdays.) Karuba, much like Nichi, has witnessed the rise and fall of several civilizations. Unlike the Kai though? A "simple" Namekian was never meant to linger around for long enough to witness such things, never mentally prepared. Witnessing people make the same mistakes and constant hardship coming from them, has caused him to choose a life of seclusion. No longer capable of tolerating the grief that comes with such things, and yet, constantly recording history in journals. The folk tales of those who had met him claim that this is a consequence of memory issues that come with having been this long lived, but nothing is known for sure. Karuba at one point had saved King Sadala from an assassination attempt, gaining a respect for the Saiyan royal figure due to his valiant efforts of keeping his people on the path he deemed best, at any cost. Viewing Sadala as one of the few leaders of the universe with potential to avoid pitfalls that had struck countless others before him. His current voice actor claim is Keith Silverstein Despite his natural ability to manipulate toxins due to the feelers on his arms-- he prefers to keep his usage of them in his fighting style to a minimum. He typically only uses these toxins enough to paralyze and knock out any opponents, viewing further use of them than this as cruel due to the pain it can inflict. Inspired by the possible ramifications of immortality and the characters of Hohenheim from Fullmetal Alchemist and AZ from Pokemon Gen 6.

Cautiously optimistic. Not sure about this one.
