Site Rules
Hello and welcome to Dragonball Universe! This is our rules page!
Dragonball Universe's rules are in place to maintain order and make sure the site is enjoyable and fair for all our members. The staff reserve the right to take disciplinary action if these rules are broken.
Site Mechanics |
This seems to be the one thing that scares most new members the most. I want to make you all aware, that while this site does have battle mechanics, they do not need to be used in every thread. These mechanics can be pushed aside in social threads where everyone involved is okay with foregoing them. However, if not everyone is okay with foregoing the mechanics, then you will need to apply them to your roleplay.
Also note that all Events and Risk of Death threads must have mechanics used to preserve the essence of fairness.
In the event that there is ever a dispute with regards to mechanics, an administrator will be brought in to have the final say on the matter.
Respect Each Other |
Nobody is above or below anyone in our community. Everyone is equal and we hope you will treat each other so. Please respect each other and behave well. Treat everyone how you would like to be treated, and try not to point fingers at others. People are different. Try to be understanding and try not to start fights. If you have problems, consult a staff member.
Respect Staff |
Understand that we are human and can forget things. We have flaws. However, it is advised that you respect us and listen to us. Which means no rude comments or pointless arguments. Remember that we have a life outside the site too. So if we are late in doing things, just try to understand us. You have anything you want to say about a staff? Bring your concerns to another staff member or even an admin.
Discord Rules |
The Discord server is for interaction and fun. Remember to respect each other and not to start fights in the server. Advertisements are not to be linked in the Discord at all.
Be sure not to flood the Discord either! Doing so may get you kicked off the Discord.
In closing, all site rules also apply to Discord!
No Godmodding |
Godmodding is, in essence, when someone’s character does anything without limits or boundaries. An example is when they simply cannot be harmed by any and all means other RPers try. Nobody is invincible, so remember that in your writing. You cannot just not take hits but deal damage to your enemy. So, please do not godmod. A one-sided fight is just plain boring.
No Metagaming |
Metagaming is an "out of character" action where a player's character makes use of knowledge that the player is aware of but not information that the character themselves is not aware of. Metagaming is a definite no go in the RPing world.
Plagiarism |
Please note, all forms of plagiarism are strictly forbidden, even self-plagiarism. Simply put, do not use the writing of another individual or your own writing from previous sites in an attempt to glean rewards. Discovered plagiarism will be met with discipline and rescinding of rewards.
PG-13 and Sensitive Content |
This a PG-13 site. We do not allow sexual or mature threads in our site. If you really want to RP that out, take it off site. Cursing is allowed as long as it does not get out of hand. Sexually explicit content or descriptive torture/gore is not allowed at all.
This includes things like relationships with underage characters, suicide, and the like. If you wish to include these elements at all, please clear it with staff first.
No Racism of Sexualism |
We are all human beings living in this bright bluish greenish planet called earth. We are equal and and that is why racism is not allowed here. There is no white or black or this country and that country here. We are all people who loves to RP. Nothing more, nothing less.
No Harassment |
Watch your words. Remember that some things you say, even if it is meant as a joke, can hurt people. And if someone kindly tells you to stop, just stop. Carrying it on will only result in getting punished.
Watch your language! |
This is an English speaking forum. While we are an international community, all writing on site is to be English. As such, please make an effort to write coherently. This includes attempts at proper grammar as well as a strict ban on ‘text talk’.
Loopholes |
Please refrain from abusing any loopholes you find within our rules or mechanics. If you find a loophole, bring it to the attention of staff instead of abusing it. If a loophole is found and abused then you will be warned only once and if you abuse another loophole you will be banned. When a conflict arises, staff has the final say.
Joining Threads |
Never join a private thread without the permission of those in the thread. This can lead to many issues and complications. In general, it is is good to ask the thread’s initial author for permission.
Threads are usually tagged so that other members know if they can and cannot join. This includes [open] , [closed], [private], [John Doe only], [Solo], et cetera.
Technique Lists and Player Tracker |
Please note that after being accepted your character profile will be locked in the accepted character section. Future learned and added techs, as well as wants to add onto history or any form of ending for that matter will need to be kept track of in a technique list and or Player Tracker area. Do not use techs or items you have not been approved for.

Canon Characters |
To put things simply, if you look at our timeline you'll notice that most canon events have happened at around Age 700~860. We are several hundred years beyond this. Due to this, you should assume that all canon characters are dead unless specifically stated otherwise, and no, meeting them in the Afterlife is not an option either. There may be exceptions for you to know of canon characters name and feats, but this is something that requires staff approval and valid explanation. To make a long story short, do not just do it! Make sure staff knows your intentions and reasoning.
Character Slot Limits |
Players with multiple character in U7 will be permitted to keep their characters during the switch to U6. However, if at any point you archive a character, you will permanently lose that slot with U7 as we will be limiting people to 1 character only in Universe 7.
As for U6, you will be allowed a maximum of 4 character slots. If you archive a character at any point, you are subject to the Character Transfer Rules.
Jeweled character slots will no longer exist moving forward. All this means is that you can no longer buy a jeweled character, though those that already exist will remain.
Universe 7 |
Universe 7 comes equipped with it's own set of rules, character applications and shop. We want to keep Universes 6 and 7 as separate as possible, this means no RP between Universes unless sanctioned by an admin, this also means that you cannot transfer any items, zeni or anything to a character of another Universe.
Universe 7 also has a much higher progression rate, partially due to the fact that it's a side-game meant to test mechanics. YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE UNIVERSE 7 CHARACTER PER PLAYER!
