Fusion

## **Synopsis**

There are multiple kinds of 'Fusion' within the world of Ikigai as well as in Dragon Ball itself. This page serves to list them all.

## **Universal Fusion Methods**

`**Important Notice**: Both Fusion types Present require same race participants. *Saiyans* cannot fuse with *Namekians*!`

Types of Fusion which involve two participants using a temporary third-party item/technique to combine for a limited number of posts.

### **Potara Fusion**

A pair of earrings originally designed by the Supreme Kais which, when two individuals wear them (*One wearing the Left earring whilst the other wears the Right earring*), will fuse both fusees into one being. The resulting fusion possesses immense power, although similar to the upcoming Metamoran Dance suffers from its lack of longevity.

1. The formula to the Fusion's Power Level is **Power Level [A]** (*First Individual*) **+ Power Level [B]** (*Second Individual*) **× 50**
2. The resulting fusion lasts **10 Posts**, although use of **God Forms** (*or equivalent forms*) reduces this by half, **5 Posts**.
3. The fusion cannot be of two different races; Both participants must be the same species. (*ie; Saiyan + Saiyan, not Saiyan + Namekian*)
	* If a special form of a race (*ie; a Legendary Saiyan*) tries to fuse with its ordinary counterpart, the resulting fusion will be identical to if two standard members of the race fused.
4. The dominant personality (*ie; the person controlling the resulting fusion as an 'OC'*) is dictated by who is stronger. If both are equal, it will depend on the choice of the owners.
5. Potara Fusion does not suffer the shortcoming of its counterpart, where both participants must have a similar Power Level.

### **Metamoran Fusion**

A special dance routine where both participants are perfectly in sync, creating a fusion that is similar to the Potara although lasts less time. More situational than the Potara form of fusion, although more convenient to enact given practise.

1. The formula to the Fusion's Power Level is **Power Level [A]** (*First Individual*) **+ Power Level [B]** (*Second Individual*) **× 50**
2. The resulting fusion lasts **5 Posts**, though this is not halved by using **God forms**.
3. The fusion cannot be of two different races; Both participants must be the same species. (*ie; Saiyan + Saiyan, not Saiyan + Namekian*)
	* If a special form of a race (*ie; a Legendary Saiyan*) tries to fuse with its ordinary counterpart, the resulting fusion will be identical to if two standard members of the race fused.
4. The dominant personality (*ie; the person controlling the resulting fusion as an 'OC'*) is dictated by who is stronger. If both are equal, it will depend on the choice of the owners.
5. Metamoran Fusion requires both participants to be similar in Power Level. (*Although, the definition of 'similar' is malleable*)

## **Race-locked Fusion Methods**

Types of Fusion where an individual will, in some way, absorb another character to take their strength (*and abilities in some cases*), increasing their own power level permanently. (*unless something such as Forced Spirit Fission is employed*)

### **Super Namekian/Super Android**

Two forms of fusion which are functionally identical; Through willing contact, both Namekians and Androids (*specifically Infinite Energy or Energy Absorption models*) can combine with members of their respective races, enhancing themselves physically and, in some cases, mentally as well.

1. The formula to these fusions is a bit more complex. For the **first three** Fusions, the participant's Power Level will be **Added** onto the recipient's. After this point, the recipient's Power Level will be **Multiplied** by **5** for every participant they fuse with.
2. These fusions are **permanent** and can only be undone via techniques like **Forced Spirit Fission**.
3. This type of Fusion requires consent from both parties; the recipient (*who receives the power*) and the participant. (*who is absorbed into the fusion*)
4. Both the Recipient and Participant must be of the same sub-species. (*ie; a Dragon Clan Namekian cannot fuse with a Warrior Clan Namekian*)

### **Bio-Android Absorption**

Bio-Androids are different from standard Androids in three simple ways: Their fusion method does not require consent, It does not require the two people to be of the same species, and The Bio-Android will take on traits of their victim.

1. The formula to Bio-Android absorption is identical to Androids and Namekians; For the **first three** Fusions, the participant's Power Level will be **Added** onto the recipient's. After this point, the recipient's Power Level will be **Multiplied** by **5** for every participant they fuse with.
2. These fusions are **permanent**, although can be undone by the Bio-Android. **Forced Spirit Fission** still can be performed to undo the process.
3. Absorption does **not** require **consent** of the victim, due to it being done through forced means.
4. Individuals do **not** need to be the **same** species.
	* Additionally, absorbing **another** **race** as a Bio-Android **gives you their traits**. This dominantly includes their **Training Perk** and **Zenkai** type.

### **New Type Absorption/Replication**

Being an improved form of the Bio-Androids, New Type Androids possess an incredibly enhanced form of their precursors' form of Absorption. This is due to them possessing two types of fusion; the ability to simply absorb someone for similar benefits as Bio-Android Absorption, as well as the unique ability to assimilate a species' features unto oneself.

* **Absorption**: Identical to Bio-Androids; No need to discuss again.
* **Replication**: This is where it gets *interesting*;

1. The person replicating another species **does not gain more PL Units**. Rather, they obtain the racial benefits of the sample they took.
2. Replication does not require one to absorb an entire person, but only a **sample**. This can be anything from **Body parts** to **Blood droplets**.
3. The New Type copies the race almost perfectly; They take the race's **Forms**, **Training/Zenkai Perks**, As well as their appearance. (*in most cases*)
	* The New Type, however, does not copy the person's **Progress** in their forms, and must train themselves to use the forms effectively.
4. The New Type can copy up to **4** abilities from the person whose DNA they took. This is limited by the New Type's own limits, of course.
5. New Types can take DNA from **Special Races** (*ie; Legendary Saiyans or Majins*) unlike Bio-Androids.
