Name: Negi
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Race: Saiyan
Appearance
Personality: In childhood, Negi was a natural at playing the role of a high-born scion of Saiyan pride and blood. He scoffed at the weak, and viewed the strong as little more than just obstacles for him to eventually defeat. He was the very image of the arrogant Saiyan Elite. And perhaps, had things gone differently, he might have stayed that way. But things change people, and the years Negi was forced to spend away from his own kind and among people who were only superficially similar to himself changed the Saiyan somewhat. That sharp Saiyan pride of his dulled somewhat, and his instinct to fight had to be subdued and changed into an instinct for survival. Negi has become far more of a rational thinker than most would think his race capable of, willing to wait and think a problem through rather than charge in headlong. But that Saiyan pride of his has not died completely, and it can surface at times resulting in either positive or negative outcomes.
History: Negi was born on Planet Vegeta as the second son of Daikon, the Saiyan King. Negi's power level was high at birth, as expected of a Saiyan of his class, and he was quick to throw that power level around to establish his own dominance wherever he went. Negi grew up developing both a friendship and rivalry with his elder brother, Okura. The two Saiyan Princes were quick to start conquests of entire planets just for the sake of competing and one-upping each other, even if it was to the irritation of their father. Indeed, the brothers endured many a scolding from their father, who often had to forbid them from leaving the planet just to keep them in check and prevent any unnecessary wars with other races. But as the brothers grew into young men, it became impossible to keep them tethered to Planet Vegeta and they found themselves going missions of their own. Sometimes leading a team of warriors, while other times they flew solo. During these times, the brothers spent less time together and without even knowing began to drift apart.
Around five years ago, both Negi and Okura were on separate missions when they received word of the disaster. A huge meteor struck Planet Vegeta, destroying the planet and killing everyone who was not away on a mission at the time. This included their own father, which of course left the near-extinct Saiyan Race without King or any form of leadership. When both brothers arrived to investigate the remains of their home world, hostilities began to flare. Okura suddenly declared himself the new King and ordered all the other survivors to kill Negi, the only Saiyan he viewed as a threat to his claim of leadership. Battle ensued, with some Saiyans choosing to defend Negi while others chose to obey Okura's command. When it was over, Negi was forced to flee the remains of Planet Vegeta, without even being afforded a chance to see what fate befell those who had sided with him. After drifting through space, the exiled Prince's spacepod found itself on a crash course toward a remote, blue planet.
The pod crashed on the unknown planet, and Negi was quick to destroy the vehicle to prevent it from being traced to those coordinates. He then disabled the Scouter he wore, so that it too could not be traced. From there, the Saiyan prince had no choice but to look around and get the lay of the land. He was fortunate that his pod had crashed in a remote area, far from any civilization. But when Negi approached the nearest city he could find, he was surprised by what he found. The people on this planet all looked almost exactly like Saiyans! The only difference was their apparent lack of a tail and more variety of hair colors. All Negi needed to do was hide his tail and he could easily pass himself as one of these humans. And so that was what he did. He made sure to always wear clothes that made it easy for him hide his tail from view. He even forced himself to ignore his fighting instinct in order to keep his power level from rising too high to avoid anyone offworld from detecting him. During this time, Negi had learned that the city he came too was called East City, one of four major capitals that could be found in each cardinal direction, along with a fifth that could be found closer to the center. In order to feed himself, Negi needed to work and earn the planet's currency. At first he acted as a bouncer for a popular bar, his Saiyan strength allowing him to easily throw out anyone without breaking a sweat. But after a while, he started filling as the bartender from time to time.
As a bartender, Negi learned far more about the people of the planet than he originally intended. He wasn't sure why, but people had a strange tendency to vent or confide in bartenders on this planet. Without really wanting to, Negi ended up listening to a number of different people's stories and problems. Sometimes it was financial in nature, sometimes having to do with some relationship. They were an annoyance for Negi for the longest time, but he did eventually start warming up to listening to these people. At the very least, he no longer had the urge break their necks as soon as they started talking. On at least one occasion, the TV in the bar piped up and began showing an event called the Tenkaichi Budokai, referring to it as a tournament to discover who the strongest is. Negi wanted very much to compete, knowing full well he could probably win without breaking a sweat. But he fought the urge, and instead only watched the tournament unfold on the television screen. That tournament was held two years ago, and supposedly another one was coming up in the next year, but whatever plans Negi was making were about to be rudely interrupted when his past would come screaming back into the picture.
~Techniques~
Raid Striker: A simple melee attack that opens with a powerful uppercut to send the opponent skyward, only for the user to appear above the target, grabbing them and then slamming them back down to ground again. It's used primarily to set things up for a follow up attack.
Thunder Stinger: The user uses his or her index and middle fingers to draw a horizontal line directly in front of them, leaving behind a straight line of Ki that suddenly explodes into shards that fly forward into their intended target like a volley of energy shrapnel.
Assault Raid: A melee rush that opens with charging downward into the target, followed by repeated punches sending them down even further. Especially devastating if the the target is sent into the ground mid rush.
Lightning Breaker: The user's aura of Ki takes the form of an electrified body for a short burst, during which they're melee strikes are electrified and made more powerful. Even when touched by an opponent, the electrification gives them a painful shock as a defense mechanism. Rapidly uses up Ki and is known to leave the user drained and vulnerable after it wears off.
