SpeciesSaiyan
AttributeCombat Support Officer (?)
Personality & AppearanceTaroga has long, tall, and spiky black hair. He stands at 6'3 with hair being included in the measurement. He wears a black gi like outfit with a red undershirt with red and black shoes. When going into official combat he wears his shoulder pad free armor, but will remove it in cases where he gets really excited. He has a dark brown and thick monkey tail sticking out of his rear. He usually hid it, but will be wrapping it around his waist outside of his clothes by the time this Rp begins.
Taroga's personality is typical of a Saiyan. Combat and training is usually what's on his mind and doesn't care about much else. He has an aggressive attitude and chooses to speak only when he needs to or boasts about himself in battle. He thinks it's a way to distract and taunt his opponent, but it's really just him boosting his ego. He tries to care about people, but at the moment finds it not so much in his nature. The only times he showed care and concern were with his typical mission squad and when he witnessed the destruction of Planet Vegeta. He cared about the latter mostly because he lost an entire planet worth of warriors who could push him to his limits. Because of that he has built up anger and hatred for Frieza and plans to be the one to end him.
Weaponry & EquipmentPlanet Trade Organization Scouter: This is a scouter that he took with him before leaving Planet Vegeta. It does have a limit of power that it's able to read and that's up until forty thousand.
Planet Trade Organization Armor: This armor provides Taroga with some protection and was worn by him before he left Planet Vegeta. He hasn't worn it in the years since landing on the new planet so it's not damaged from battle or anything like that. A powerful enough beam can pierce through the armor and a powerful enough blast could destroy it. The armor can expand to fit his growing body or Great Ape Form.
Planet Trade Organization Space Pod: This is the same space pod that he used to leave Planet Vegeta.
Abilities & TechniquesSaiyan Physiology: The Saiyan physiology is much like that of a human's, but there are some distinct differences. Their bodies are usually attuned and made for warriors. They age at a slower rate than humans and keep their youthful appearance longer so they can keep on fighting. Saiyans are born with tails and this tail helps them transform into their Oozaru form when it comes in contacts with a full moon or their retinas absorb seventeen million zenos. It causes their body to respond to a body chemical reaction produced in their tails causing them to transform into Giant Apes.
The Glow: Taroga has the ability to cover his hands with his ki to enhance his strength and durability in his hands. He believes that with enough training he'd be able to use this on his feet and eventually cover his entire body in ki to add to his defenses. At the moment this tends to drain more energy from him so he uses it for at the max two minutes at a time. It's possible the time will increase with more training as well.
Warrior's Blood Moon: This is a move Taroga created himself where he creates a ball of red ki the size of a Power Ball before it expands in size. He launches it at his opponent to deal crucial damage.
Demon's Scream: This is move that Taroga also named himself. He opens his mouth and charges the ki within his body and screams out a powerful red beam at the enemy.
Crimson Wave: This is just a beam that he shoots out of his hands while mostly using both his hands to produce it. He also named this.
Blood Parade: This is something he usually uses for multiple enemies or a fun way to destroy an area. He sends a charged up blast in the air that stops at a certain point and splits into multiple blasts to rain down on the ground and his opponents. Named this as well. He has a lot of similar themes for his attack names.
Ki Sense: Taroga can sense ki.
BackstoryTaroga remembers his life as if it happened all in one day. He grew up on Planet Vegeta training with other members of his race. His father was a mid-class level Saiyan while his mother was a low-class level Saiyan. He ended up being born the latter. Despite being a low-class Saiyan warrior training came so easily to him. He got into a lot of fights with the other kids and after each fight instinctively grew as a warrior. Most of his missions were with other Saiyans. Sometimes it was around those his age, but most of the time it was with more experienced adults.
He was thirteen when Planet Vegeta was destroyed. He was coincidentally also being sent out on a solo mission to secure a planet for Frieza. His pod was sent off right after Kakorot's and witnessed Frieza destroying the planet. He wanted so much to turn back and face him himself, but he knew that he'd be just as easily annihilated. His anger in the pod got to the point where he came to a point of being calm enough to change the destination of his pod to send it off to a different planet. He didn't know where he'd be going, but he knew that he had to be out of Frieza's reach.
It took a while, but he eventually landed on the planet that he'd temporarily called home. It was a planet of humanoids who lived a rather nice life compared to that of Saiyans. He spent most of his time training in a cave or hunting to get food. He needed to survive and build himself up. He even made sure not to look at a full moon. It wasn't until a year later when he finally cave into his warrior instincts to find someone to fight. He hid his tail and went out searching for someone to fight. He came across others who were sparring in an abandoned area. He went up to talk to them and found out that this was the only way they could fight anymore. There was a war on their planet ten years prior and the resulting proclamation outlawed all forms of martial arts and ki manipulation.
This intrigued Taroga as he really didn't like following rules. He talked them into forming an underground fighting club. It was there that he discovered more about ki and different fighting techniques. After a brutal loss to their world champion he started training under a woman who had a lot to teach him.
Many years later he had his second rematch against the world champion and his fight was discovered during the fight. At the time he didn't realize it due to his primal instincts acting up during the full moon. He didn't usually fight during one, but he couldn't say no to this fight. He ended up killing his opponent and turned to the crowd to see how they responded to it. After looking at their horrified faces he escaped into the night returning to the cave where it all began.
He was prepared to leave the planet and find a new place to settle feeling that the ISF wouldn't hesitate to arrest him for genocide and war crimes. He was a Saiyan after all and despite them not being able to stop Frieza he was sure they'd be happy to take in the last of the Saiyans. At least that's what he believed he was. He moved his pod outside the cave and started to prepare it for departure, but that was when he saw a ship coming into the planet's atmosphere. Had this been the ISF already? No, it was too soon to be them.
Suddenly the frequency in his scouter and every transmitter on the planet was hacked by the ones on the ship. They revealed themselves to be Space Pirates who planned to raid this planet for anything that they could. If anyone was to stand in there way they'd be quickly killed. He was obligated to believe them, but that was before he saw one of the pirates exiting the ship while it was still in the sky and destroyed a city. He didn't know what happened in that short time, but he wasn't going to let this stand. He also knew that he wouldn't be able to leave until after they did and that could ruin his chances of escaping before the ISF arrived.
With this motivation he decides to confront the pirates. He confronts them without using his scouter or his armor. He feels like he doesn't need to use either and especially not the former since learning how to sense the ki within others. It had been a tool that helped him in the arena. He could tell the difference in power between him and others, but couldn't exactly pinpoint where their power stood like he could with a scouter. He knew that some of these pirates were strong and some of them were weak. He'd just have to finish this as quickly as possible.
He aimed for the weak ones first to get a feel of their fighting style and form of combat. They were taken down rather quickly and he didn't even feel like it was a warm up. He needed more. Fortunately there was only three of them that were considered fodder to him. There were five more that would actually prove to be a challenge. He started facing the first one who was about equal in power to him. At first they were exchanging blow after blow after blow until another one used a sneak attack from behind sending a blast towards his back. The attack allowed his opponent to gain the advantage. He was sent crashing to the ground sending up smoke and debris in his wake. This was it. This was how he was going to die, wasn't it? He'll never get to kill Frieza now.
Just as he was about to be blasted to bits he heard a few more yells coming from the West. He recognized them as some of the fighters from the underground as well as his instructor. They may have been weak, but they could still fight. The ensuing battle raged on and he ended up knocking out his equal and heading to help the others. He defeated the one with surprise attacks just as he heard his sensei yelping in pain. She received a powerful blast at point blank range straight to her gut. She fell to the ground grasping on for life. He had one of the other fighters get her out of there so he could finish this off.
He felt it was time to use what he had been taught. He charged up the ki in his hands and caused red ki energy to surround both of his hands. It was a way to increase the power he put out with his attacks and made the difference in the fight. He charged at the remaining pirates and started sending quick and numerous attacks to their faces and bodies before sending them crashing to the ground.
When the last one fell unconscious the energy faded from his hands and he headed over to his master. He stood over her with his arms crossed giving her a look of pure acknowledgement. She had earned his respect despite this being her last moments. The ISF finally arrived as she eased into the next world. They came for him and got more than they bargained for with the pirates. They were going to arrest him too, but the other fighters vouched for him and told them that he had saved them and their planet from being ransacked.
Given his heroic actions the ISF offered him an official pardon and offered him the opportunity to join their ranks in the ISF Academy if he wished to join them defeating other planetary and interstellar threats like the men he had defeated. He decided to take the offer in the hopes that this could further his training and get him one step closer to his ultimate goal.
