Including WOTUK arc, there will be two more arcs after. This means at most, L2 has another year left on it's life.

So for the next year until it ends, I will be planning out a good chunk of L3. Focusing less on absurd conflict, I aim to make L3 more grounded and skill based rather than power based. It will also involve a more political plot, revolving around warmongers, corrupted political officials, wars more localized on planet to planet basis rather than extending out to the far reaches of the galaxy, though such conflict on that scale isn't impossible. Characters won't be reaching absurd powerlevels like L1/2. If needed, it'll be enforced via kicking and banning, page deletion, and at worst, a block. Every villain created need to have complex motivations, be it psychological imbalances like paranoia or sociopathy.( DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!!!!!! ) If a political official is a villain, they should also have a political agenda that conflicts with the views of most, if not all, members of the hero group.(Doubt it'll be called Lookout Crew or anything, though based on the sky pirate idea I have in the works, I might actually name the ship the "Lookout" for nostalgia's sake.)

Since we've done RP based on DB for so long, I figured it would be nice if we went a more fantastical route with magics and other things. Fans of Final Fantasy should have no problem adjusting to such a setting, and DnD players should find the setting more suitible with the character types they are used to. I've already got the finale of Part 1 outlined. With this set goal, it should be fairly easy for me to develop plot of Part 1 nicely. I do not know if it will be possible to end L3 like L1 and L2, but this is a universe where time skipping to different years would be ideal, but to mix things up each timeskip will also change location on the native planet. So L3 could take place on one side of the planet, while L4 could take place on the other. I will say however, that I will only be planning L3 and executing that one alone. L4 will be planned by someone else down the line. Also, when it comes down to the wire and L2 is coming to the close, I will need everyone to make a character for L3.

Making a character might seem like trouble at first given the new setting, but basically just make a character. Also, force yourself to never use DB based abilities. And I mean never. L3 won't be DB anymore, so to use DB based abilities wouldn't fit. Martial Arts is fine though. Also, Transformations. These really shouldn't be used anymroe either. As I said, the combat for L3 is more skill based than power based, meaning just being strong isn't going to cut it. You need to use strategy and tactics to win. If one singular move isn't working, try mixing it up with some of your other abilities and techniques. Be creative in how you fight. Brain storm new strategies, combos, spells, and etc.

After you are done with your character, please plan out their entire character arc. Once you are done with that, I will implement it into the larger story. If you have trouble coming up with a character arc, This is the starting event:

'''One of the colonized moons of Gaius is destroyed by the Arcadian Emperor to demonstrate his discontempt of the rebelious nature of the colonists. Constantly starting conflict after conflict, he brought the hammer of justice upon them. The onyl surviors being those visiting the main world at the time.'''

You can base your character motivations on this, though originality is prefered. Some characters could seek political justice against the emperor for commiting such an extreme act. Point is to keep motivations of each character related in some way so that they all have a common goal. Hell, make one of your characters aim to take the throne. I wouldn't have a problem if you did.

That's all I can think of now. if there are any ideas you have please leave them below.

P.S.: Rules about being OP and such will be enforced to an even stricter degree.
