Dragonball Z RPG

Boy, posting all those old rules brings back memories. It was the characters that did it. I played and replayed the same character over and over (as was intended). It's been half a decade so I have forgotten many details..

Fuji, the sumo wrestling hippopotamus human with attacks like Fuji Fire Fist and Super Sumo Slam. He was married to Yarn, an ex-motorcycle gang member who was typically feminine and loving but sometimes violent and yelling. They had a baby son named Twine, who, in appropriate cartoon logic looked like a little hippo rather than a blond-haired human. They had a small house on Penguin Island. Fuji was the den mother/sensei of the others, but especially of Tamago.

Tamago, the quiet and young Saiyan. In the main campaign, Tamago ended up marrying Dim (Sum), the queen of the Amazons because he beat her in combat (*coughRanmanibunnoichicough*). Dim Sum was older than Tamago by about 5 years and Tamago was only 15 at the time, so Fuji had a huge problem with this. Tamago had the classic moves. I don't recall a lot of personalization with his attacks.

???? the Namekian. Like his player he claimed to be stoic and insightful but was typically volatile. He was very unusual for a Namekian.. Of the three players, this player was never able to play the same character more than once. I know the namekian had a love, but I can't remember who it was. He had dragon-based attacks, but his favorite was the Dragon's Bellow, a radius blast that basically kicked the butt of everything standing next to it..

We had many adventures. We traveled to Mars to save the butt-headed Martians (see Dr. Slump for those guys). We trained in the misty mountains. We fought off gangsters. We saved Penguin Island from an army of robots (a fight that ended with Tamago's Oozaru fighting a giant robotic dinosaur). We found a subterranean mansion owned by a very rich duck man who had a bit of a Jekyll/Hyde problem. We were killed by a vengeful Arlian who wanted to see Tamago dead for being a Saiyan. We trained in the afterlife (of course) and came back to kick his butt.

Good times.
