Starting Off
Okay, now you should be confused, I bet you are like "Oh, I don't need to read this part! I just create my character!" Well, too bad! It isn't that simple buddy! But, yes you're right first, you must go to the Character Creation section, go to the Character Creation Application, copy the code that I have made, and then create a new topic with the code filled out! Then, you will receive a PM (Private Message) Regarding what you must do next. Okay, maybe I lied, it is that simple
Stats
Okay, now we are up to stats! This is quite simple if you read it correctly. Your stats should add up to 150. 150 will be your starting Power Level. There are 4 Categories of stats. Power, Speed, Focus, and Toughness. The highest one stat can go is 147! Please don't have your speed at one and say you are super fast! Below is an example of what the stats should look like:
PWR - (Power)
SPD - (Speed)
TGH - (Toughness)
FOC - (Focus)
Power: Power is the basic stat, where it determines the damage of physical attacks in battle. This number determines your physical strength and might.
Speed – Speed determines how fast your character is opposed to the competitor. It determines if you can or cannot physically dodge a characters attack. Along with that it determines your character’s agility, how fast he/she can change positions in battle or sticky situations.
Toughness – Toughness determines your willpower against physical and ki attacks sent from your opponent. It determines how much damage you can take without dying or losing the battle. Also makes you slightly stronger.
Focus - Focus determines how quick your character’s reaction time is to opposing attacks, if this number is lower than your opponent’s your speed will also deduct over a certain amount of time. You’ll find that this number requires to be balanced with speed, soon my friend. This also determines if your character listens while training and doing quests!
All of these stats add up to your Power Level!
Earning Powerlevel
How to earn Powerlevel you ask? Well, that is simple!
Powerlevel can be earned by Roleplaying, Doing Quests, or Training! Read below:
