Grades on DBU are not determined by many factors including word count and quality. You could write a 5,000 word post, but if it's got no substance to it (i.e you've just written a bunch of fluff) you won't be getting the full reward for that post. Below we've listed a few items to keep in mind for grading and what we allow.[/div]
Word Count:
While not the most important thing this shall be posted here first. The word count is important to help you establish what your character is doing and how they are reacting to every situation but it is not the end all be all. The word count is only about 70% of your final grade, so while it's good to be able to write longer posts, it doesn't mean it's a good thing! Don't fluff up your posts, react to what you have too and make it meaningful and fun.
Quality:
Your initial Quality is assigned to you upon character creations. The staff member that grades your character app assigns you a Quality that will follow you. You aren't stuck with the same quality forever though, roughly every 3 months staff will spontaneously review your RP's and change your quality. This can be for the better or worse! (just so you know we aren't telling you what it is! 
)
Solo Limits:
)Solo Limits:
Everyone roleplays at a different pace, so to give everyone a chance we've put a limit on Solo's. You are allowed 5 solo threads a week, with no more than 10,000 words total! No that doesn't mean you can have 5 Solo's with 10k words each. 10k words is all that will be graded across all of those solos. This doesn't mean that you an't continue to post them, if you are feeling inspired and you've already hit your limit, then by all means post it. You simply will not get the grade for it.
Modifiers:
Weights;
Weights are a low cost easy to obtain way to help increase ones power in the early stages of the game.
All Weights lose 25% of their effectiveness at 100,000PL, and fall off after 125k in power.
There are special weights in the VIP shop that do last longer, so please make sure you note how they all work!

Gravity Training;
Players can create up to 3 gravity training threads per week
(This does count towards your maximum of 5 solos per week if gravity threads are done solo)
A player can go back into previously trained gravity to help out another member. However, you will only get the bonus once, no matter how many times you do a thread with the same increased gravity
Gravity chambers become useless after 300,000 PL.

House;
An effective place to allow for personal training by yourself or in smaller groups
Houses do not lose their effectiveness over time because their bonuses are rather low.
Houses and gravity chambers can be combined with one another for greater boosts, however you can not combine Dojo's and gravity chambers with one another.
Hyberbolic Time Chamber;
First and foremost, there must be an impending global threat to use the chamber; i.e an upcoming saga or something on the same scale. The Kami may also allow someone to use the hyperbolic time chamber if he/she deems it necessary due to un forseen circumstances. What this means is, you must plead your case to both the Kami, as well as the Admins.
Zenkai;
Zenkai is granted to a saiyan who has been injured to the point of near death and whom has been healed back to full health. To qualify for zenkai, you must use a ST-3 healing technique, or a method of healing that instantly restored the saiyans full health. Healing over time capsule's or techniques will not grant the saiyan their zenkai bonus.
Note: There are multiple other bonuses across the board, some specific to certain races, others you will find in events in the form of special items. Keep your eyes peeled!
