I can't help wondering if this was the result of our PM conversation. Can't say I like the whole 'DD' thing, but it's not too bad. I can still shape it a bit.
Name: Ryukyu Taizan
Age: 23
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 200 lbs., all of it muscle and he has less than 1% body fat.
Appearance: Brown hair that ends just above his spine, brown eyes, usually wears blue jeans and a red jacket with a white shirt underneath. Put him with an MP3 player and he'd look like your average guy. However, there is nothing average about him.
Personality: As a young man, Taizan was quiet and distrusting. Since he trained at Z-Academy, he has opened up and become a genuinely outgoing guy. He has not let his abilities go to his head, and is quick to come to someone's aid. Like most fighters, he dreams of the perfect challenge, and wants to push his skills even further than they are now.
Terra Firma: Earth. Terra Cotta: The house in the wilderness north of present-day Hercule City that he built with his own hands.
Species: Human
Biography: Ryukyu Taizan was born to a family of farmers. When an alien race invaded Earth, his parents were slaughtered and their house was destroyed. Taizan escaped the massacre by hiding, and he is still conflicted about that. Alone and angry, he sought out a way to deal with his problems. When he discovered the martial arts, he was hooked and devoted his life to it. After rebuilding his house with his bare hands, he worked tirelessly to turn himself into the perfect warrior. During a particularly tiring training regimen, his power exploded and his Ki was unlocked. This drove him to train further in hopes of mastering his Ki as well as his fighting skills. Years later, he attended the Z-Academy, beginning his tutelage there at age 13. Graduating a top student at age 20, he continued his training, pushing his body to the limit. He boasts amazing power for a human, and surpasses most in will and tenacity. Since there are no Z-Warriors around, he deems himself one, and has devoted his training and skill to the protection of Planet Earth and its citizens.
Weapons: Does he really seem like he needs them?
Attacks: Taizan is a master of the martial arts, so his physical attacks consist of well-placed strikes, joint locks, and grapples. He also uses Ki techniques to build up his strikes as well as defend from energy attacks.
However, any of Taizan's basic attacks pale in comparison to his powerful and brutal advanced techniques.
Mouth Blast-This is his first advanced maneauver, and one he thought up before entering the Z-Academy. He uses this move as a show of admiration for Piccolo. It is basically a gathering of Ki in the throat, which is then propelled out the mouth. It sometimes makes his throat bleed, but it is potent and he has learned to deal with the pain.
Sonic Boom: While Taizan was a Black Belt at the Z-Academy, he perfected a style of fighting known as Ricouhasan, which emphasizes sonic speed to perform crushing kicks, punches, and also teaches guards strong enough to stop a Spirit Bomb, if the user is a master. Sonic Boom requires that Taizan build up his speed. He does this by performing a series of punches and kicks that are so fast that they are invisible to the naked eye. To most people, he appears to be standing still. The only evidence of this technique while he is doing it is that his hand begins to blur. Once he has built up enough speed, he can thrust his hand forward in a punch or his foot forward in a kick, launching all his speed at an opponent. This can blow them back for miles and also breaks the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom. Hence, the name of the move.
Catch, Store, Release: This was a technique taught to Taizan during his first year at the Z-Academy, when he studied the Namekian style of fighting. It is a powerful counterattack for energy techniques that is known for its effectiveness, and for how lethal it is.
In the Catch stage, the one being fired upon by an energy attack summons an invisible shield of Ki around himself/herself. The shield takes in the Ki contained in the blasts and focuses them up the legs to the shoulders, then down to the wrists. As the energy builds, the wrists may inflate a bit. When the user of this technique feels that enough energy has been gathered, the next stage of the attack goes into play.
The Store stage is similar to the Catch stage, but the nergy stored in the wrists is moved to the chest. This way, the energy is prepared to move in several different directions for use in executing varied attacks.
The final stage of this technique is the Release stage, in which all of the energy stored in the chest is put into use. The counter-blastis only as powerful as the energy stored, so the Release technique varies in strength. What makes the technique so lethal is that even if it glances you, you take the full power of the blast. If you are cut, the energy will go inside and do damage to your internal organs or burst veins. This is why so many fear this technique, and why it is so rarely used on Namek 3.
Marionette Fingers-These are small blasts that leave a small line trail behind them when fired. Taizan can freeze these beams and use them as cutting instruments. When the beam pierces skin or muscle tissue, he freezes the beam and can rip through the sinews and cut off their Ki energy. If he's in a particularly brutal mood, he can rip or cut limbs off with it.
Five Ring Shatter-Taizan's third advanced technique that can be used with or without Ki. It is basically a powerful punch to the sternum that sends shockwaves through the body. The impact of the blow and the resulting shockwave breaks both arms, both legs and the neck when used on humans and most other alien species, giving it its name. If the alien is resistant to his ability, he can use Ki to guarantee a kill. The punch, instead of sending out a shockwave, sends his Ki into someone else's body. The Ki builds up in the elbows, knees, and throat. When all are connected by Ki lines, there is an explosion that kills the target and anyone else caught in the blast radius.
Trigger Cannon-Taizan's most powerful move. It requires a complex set of moves to be done before execution. It basically fires a huge blast at the target, and can be very devastating. Taizan's first attempt at the move created a five mile long crater, which still stands as a testament to his skill. The downside to this move is that it uses up so much energy that it drains him and makes him unable to fight after executing it. This means it better work the
first time or he could die.
So, that's Taizan in a nut shell. Is he approved for your roleplay?
