Personality: Kurosa is what you would call a true Saiyan Warrior in that she is serious, proud, and doesn’t take kindly to anyone undermining her power and how hard she’s worked to achieve it. She is tough, tenacious, and ruthlessly cunning as a warrior. Her combat experience is second to none, as she’s been fighting since she was old enough to walk with her siblings, friends, school bullies, competitive rivals, and her enemies all across the galaxy. Countless battles and life-or-death situations have forged her combat instincts to very near their peak. Even when caught off guard she remains cool and collected and quickly assesses and takes control of the situation. She never lets anyone or anything stand above her, so if you knock her down don’t you dare stand over her and gloat or you will face the wrath of a Saiyan unleashed.
Powers And Abilities:
* Infinite Ki Edge - Using her sword as a conduit, she channels her Ki through it and places a very sharp and focused layer of Ki over its edge. From this edge, she can slice through nearly anything and also fire projectile blues capable of doing extreme damage to anything they touch.
* Ki Gradient - A technique taught to her by her dear friend, Era Niir’lana. It allows her to form a protective layer of Ki over her body which diverts and dilutes incoming Ki attacks, even when they come from a being with power much greater than her own. However, the weakness of this technique is that it is incredibly taxing on the body, and the greater the difference in power between her and her enemy, the more stamina she loses when using it.
* Limit Breaker - This is a biological phenomenon possessed only by Kurosa and the other four Saiyans who survived the SLBP. The Limit Breaker ability comes in two forms:
A) Outbursts of anger which vastly increase their power levels for brief periods of time.
B) After recovering from grievous injuries, especially life-threatening injury, the Saiyan’s power level increases exponentially in proportion to the damage done.
Biography: The Saiyan Limit Breaker Project, or SLBP, was founded over twenty years ago on Haurbo Prime, a backwater world which had been colonized by Saiyans around two hundred years ago. In the initial stages of the project, it met with fierce resistance from the King of Saiyans for the idea that the “modification” of the Saiyan genome would “undermine” and “contaminate” the gene pool. He thus ruled that such experiments were highly illegal and would be met with execution by his very hand should anyone be found guilty of its practice. As a result, the original team moved to Haurbo Prime and created Ki-Shielded underground bunkers undetectable by power-reading devices of any kind to continue their tests in secret. And it is there that our story begins…
Kurosa is the first infant who was subjected to the tests while still inside her mother’s womb. Her mother, a scientist among the organization, had volunteered her unborn child to the experiment for the sake of advancing the Saiyan genome and unlocking the true potential of the Saiyan Race. As such, the unborn infant was carefully administered numerous injections while inside the womb through her mother’s lower abdomen throughout her development cycle. Each injection introduced a new strand of DNA meant to overtake the strands in the Saiyan genome which the lead scientists had found to be largely responsible for the limitations on Saiyan power. Kurosa had several close calls while in development, but ultimately didn’t suffer any crippling or debilitating effects.
Finally, the day had arrived. Birth. Kurosa was born after eleven hours of labor and found to be a perfectly healthy child. Tests were run on her blood to see if the introduced DNA had taken effect within her, but initial tests were negative. Kurosa was deemed a failed experiment at first… However, that did not last long.
Kurosa, at six months of age, had a temper tantrum and unleashed a small concussive burst of power from her body in a similar manner to a fully grown Saiyan power up. When they scanned her power level, they found it to be just over 200 which was unheard of for an infant. When they took another blood test after her outburst, they discovered something extraordinary. Her original DNA had attacked the introduced DNA, thinking it a virus/hostile presence, assimilated its properties, and made them its own. And all the while her original DNA blueprint hadn’t changed at all despite assimilating the introduced DNA’s properties. Her Saiyan body had conquered an introduced foe, and made its power its own.
This was the success they had been looking for. This was the Saiyan Limit Breaker Project’s dream made real.
Kurosa was subjected to numerous tests over the next few months, and it was found that every time she had an outburst her power level increased from where it had been originally. As well, she had accidentally fallen off a testing table and broke her arm. The scientists rushed her to the medical bay to splint the arm and provide her with a sedative to prevent another outburst, and after her recovery they found her power level had risen substantially. By the time she was only 10 months old her power level was already almost 1,200, and the team knew immediately that the experiment was a success. It was then they made the decision to find more test subjects and continue their experiments.
At first, results were negative across the board. It seemed Kurosa was a freak accident, never meant to be duplicated. Not until a breakthrough occurred thanks to an epiphany provided by Kurosa’s own mother. They had tried their experiments on infants who were already born, so she suggested that they repeat their success by subjecting pregnant mothers to the injections prior to birth as they’d done with Kurosa. At first the team was reluctant due to the health risks for both infant and mother to a prior-birth test, but Kurosa’s mother persisted arguing the point until she won the day and it was agreed to that the tests would commence.
Later that year, pregnant volunteers were brought in for the project and their unborn children subjected to the same injections as Kurosa had been throughout the pregnancy. Sadly, only six infants survived until birth, and only four survived after the first month of life. But those four joined a now 2 year-old Kurosa as successful efforts of forever changing Saiyan biology into something which would never again be limited by the previous weakness of their Race’s genome. But at this time, someone had also ratted the organization out for their experiments, and Kurosa and the children were spirited away as quickly as possible and all evidence of success destroyed by the time Saiyan law enforcement came for them. Kurosa’s mother, as well as all others involved in the experiment, were executed for illegal genetic experimentation as per the King’s orders.
To this day, Kurosa is the only one who knows why it is that this group of five Saiyans is not bound by the limitations of their brethren. As far as the Saiyan Race knows, these five special individuals do not exist. They suppress their powers in an effort to blend in, as they know that the current King, having known about the SLBP, would have them executed as the result of the experiments. But he is aging. Once he dies, they will finally be able to show the rest of their Saiyan brothers and sisters who and what they are. They will finally be able to show them the glory of potentially unlimited power and the dominance the Saiyan Race may one day possess if they continue to evolve and grow stronger.
