A few more questions:

• You said the site's setting will be like modern day Earth and I'm curious what that might entail or if you have an idea of it. Is this the kind of place where we could expect the general weirdness of Dragon Ball with random monster and animal people in an average crowd? How commonplace are characters with extraordinary abilities?
• When you say "illustrated", are there any stylistic restrictions (i.e. must be "animanga")? Let's say, hypothetically, I wanted to use Tamiyo from Magic: the Gathering or Despero from DC Comics as an FC.
• Will certain notable species have pre-written lore for them to keep everyone on the same page?
• How will the site treat obligatory anime transformations?
• A lot of stock Dragon Ball races are aliens and I'm curious how you intend to weave those into the setting given that it takes place on a single planet. Will they all just be native to that planet in this setting, or will some characters come from space?

I am extremely apprehensive about joining a Dragon Ball/battle shounen site that uses stats just because, in my experience, it tends to attract the worst kind of role players when it does, and honestly, Dragon Ball just seems to attract a lot of communities I don't vibe with. But unfortunately my brain is already ticking with character concepts, so like...

• The planet in question, Zylar, is akin to Earth in terms of technology and architecture. On the other hand, some parts of the planet are more advanced in technology whereas others appear to be "fantasy". Zylar isn't necessarily another copy of Earth, but instead offers more diversity in its climate and setting a la some areas being "fantasy" and the other being "science fiction". You can definitely expect creatures from DBZ to appear as well as animal type people. I think for the sake of simplicity, I may break Zylar down into cities/"sectors" instead of countries, like DBZ. Characters with special powers are common, unlike Earth where the mundane are the majority population.

• Your examples count! As long as it isn't CGI or a real person, anything drawn counts as illustrated.

• I'll also be answering your last question with the third point. Races from DBZ in particular will preexisting lore in connection to how they're relevant on Zylar. The idea is that at some point these races had made a connection to the planet and eventually became somewhat common within the planet's population, which will be more in depth once I get the plot up! Members can also have the ability to create their own races and how they're perceived in Zylar/the galaxy, whether it's a completely original concept or something from a franchise.

• There will be a total of 5 transformations which will be broken up into "grades"; 1 being the first transformation unlocked and 5 being the highest unlocked. Every character will be in a "Grade 0" base transformation. This is still somewhat in the works, but I plan for these to be unlocked via shop.

Credit!

Gung Ho! is an action themed roleplay loosely inspired by Dragon Ball Z and other various franchises. It takes place in an alternate universe on the planet Zylar, a planet somewhat similar to Earth where humans and all kinds of other living beings live. Zylar is a setting that is a mixture of multiple genres, mainly fantasy and sci-fi. The planet is at a constant struggle for power and influence amongst people from supernatural races with extravagant abilities, no matter if they were inherited or trained for.
