DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

@Double Well I’m good with whatever you want to do. Ultimately we have 10 characters and it’s not like everyone can go fight Raditz at once. Just thought the sensible thing to do would be to look to train first.

If you do decide on Sam, then we could collab on a sparring match if you’d like? I’m flexible either way.

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

I've just posted. Basically rather than going straight after Raditz and getting stomped, i'm going to have him train to try and raise his power. Should anyone want to tag along then just feel free to turn up at the dojo.

In addition i'm updating my character themes to follow @Eviledd1984's setup for those who may be interested.

A soft glow began to form around Sam's fists as he stood in front of the large boulder before him. The solid rock towered several feet above the peak of his head and loomed over him, taunting the young adult. The soft blue hue began to thicken and brighten before becoming as bright as the moon in the night sky. In the blink of an eye the martial artist began to unleash a barage of punches. Each punch was thrown with menacing intent but barely a sound was created as his fist collided with the solid surface. The punches rained down for a further ten seconds before the glow of his hands subsided. He took a step back and raised three fingers into the air. With each second that passed he dropped a finger until each had curled back into a fist. A sudden explosion of sound echoed in the small valley as the large boulder broke apart into many smaller pieces, collapsing into a pile at the feet of Sam.

Looking down at the rubble covering his toes he soon felt an itch at the back of his neck. It was similar to an itch he had felt before but this time it was more intense, more concerning. The itch was his bodies reaction to a power level that he should be concerned of, something the Earth had not seen for a very long time. He raised his head to the clear sky above, Things are going to get interesting soon...I need to keep pushing the training. The thought in his mind was sensible, what he felt of the new power was far beyond anything that he had come close to feeling before. In his current state, there would be little he could do to damage the foe beyond piss them off. He needed to get stronger...to tap into the rage that fuelled his power.

***BRRRRRRZZZ*** ***BRRRRRRZZZ*** ***BRRRRRRZZZ***

From his pocket he removed a small phone. It was nothing fancy, simply something his parents insisted he carried. He flipped the device open. "Yes?" His deep voice did little beyond reinforcing his clear frustration at being disturbed. "Sam...did you feel it?" The deeply sincere words of a deceptively powerful old man sent a shiver down Sam's spine. The voice on the phone belonged to his trainer Kojiro and in all his years as his student, Sam had never heard such fear in his trainers voice. "Of course sensei...I mean...how could I not. Who?...What could it be?" The phone stayed silent for several moments before Kojiro replied. "I dare not guess but whatever it is...the world is in danger. You need to return to the dojo so we can prepare you for the fight ahead. I have spoken to several other martial arts masters and they are sending their best and brightest here to train. With that power level however, I worry that fear will strike down most of the planets best...Samanosuke...you cannot be one of those." Sam clenched his fist tight. "Of course I will fight. Even if I must give my life...i'll fight." No waiting for a response, Sam closed his phone.

If the old man is scared then this could be it...for everything. Sam could feel the temperature of his blood rise and he thought about those he cared about, those he loved and would do anything for. Whatever this power was, it would be enough to take all that away from him...enough to kill them all. Sam let out a tremendous roar as his aura exploded out around him. Nearby small rocks and debris were blown away as his power began to build, letting the rage deep within seep out ever so slightly. Then, with the quickest of thoughts, Sam launched himself into the air towards his masters dojo. He needed to train hard with the best and brightest talents of the martial arts world, he just hoped they would show. The safety of the world could depend it. He landed at the dojo soon after and greeted his master with a solemn bow. Without exchanging a word Sam waited at the entrance to the dojo for anyone who might turn up.

Loving how this is filling up.

@Eviledd1984 it’s listed in the original post I believe

DBZ: The Sagas of The Z Warrior

Apps so far:

1 Human
1 Majin
2 Saiyan
2 Frieza Race

Hopefully any further will avoid Saiyan and Frieza race to spread the love. I mean it isn’t the end of the world, just nice to have variety.

Samanosuke

————————————————————————— Name: Samanosuke "Sam" Tanaka Race: Human Age: 21 Sex: Male ♂ Relationship Status: Single ————————————————————————— Power Level: 800 Status: Alive Location: Earth ————————————————————————— Character Theme: ♫ Happy Theme: ♫ Sad Theme: ♫ Death Theme: ♫ Battle Theme: ♫ Boss Fight Theme: ♫ —————————————————————————

PERSONALITY ———————————————————————— Very few people are as deceptively stoic as Sam. On the outside he is a figure of total calmness but on the inside lies a white hot rage that fuels the very power that make him a dangerous fighter. He has a solid grasp on his anger but when pushed to his limit it can seep out. With his often calm demeanour comes a sense of humour that people would expect him lacking just by looking at him. A face of seriousness often gives way to a smile or grin before returning to its mostly stern appearance. He is a man of the people and defender of the weak HISTORY ———————————————————————— Sam was born to parents who were beyond ecstatic to have him. For years they had tried to have children until suddenly, after almost giving up all hope, Samanosuke Tanaka came into being. For the early years of his life he was much like any other baby, regular tears and soiled diapers but as he began to grow a deep anger within became evident. Severe tantrums and outbursts made life difficult for Sam's parents, so much so that by his fourth birthday they sought the help of the village elder. Part medicine man and part village leader, the elder was shocked by the child's inner aggression. However, he knew of a man who could tame the anger but it would mean giving up their son until the goal was achieved. Sam's parents reluctantly accepted, leaving him with the man known only as Kojiro. In the years that followed Sam was taught a two thousand year old martial art known as Fists of the Swift Wind. The basis of the martial art was to utilise a persons anger to increase their damage output. The anger within Sam shocked Kojiro but not through a sense of fear, but through surprise that the youngsters potential was unbound. Throughout the history of the fighting style nobody had become so advanced at such a young age and so Kojiro grew excited. It was four years after the start of his training that Sam was allowed to reunite with his parents and through it came an emotional outpouring from his mother and father. They couldn't believe the change in their child, particular the fact that he was more like a young adult than an eight year old. Even so they felt a level of guilt that he had missed much of his childhood having spent it training. Their opinion changed when they saw him showcase his capabilities in a local fighting tournament however, defeating adults three times his size through nothing but technique. They saw his natural gift and so, reluctantly, let him return to Kojiro. They hoped that his talent might one day do the world some good, even if it meant that they missed his early life. It wasn't until his eighteenth birthday that Sams training was finally complete. Other fighters his age had levels of power that had surpassed him, focussing on increasing their strength. Kojiro focussed on teaching Sam the true techniques and secrets of the Swift Wind, increasing his power would come later. His body had been trained to almost be able to fight on autopilot, the accuracy and power of his strikes far surpassing what he should be capable of. To the present day he keep in contact with Kojiro and spend much of his time taking care of his parents. When he isn't with either he is often training or helping those in need in his home village. ABILITIES ———————————————————————— ✦ Power Through Fury | Fists of the Swift Wind is the martial art that Sam has been taught for the majority of his life. It allows him to tap into his inner anger to increase his strength beyond what a human should be capable of. It works much in the same way as the Saiyan zenkai boost, however rather than increasing power after near fatal experiences it increases power after great bouts of rage. ✦ Ultimate Concentration | Through the years of learning to control his inner rage, Sam is able to block out all distractions around him. This can help him keep focus on a fast moving foe or distinguishing between an after image and the real person. In addition to this, he is able to better focus his ki so as a result his standard ki blasts are baseball sized rather than the typical basketball size. They are no stronger or weaker, simply smaller in size. TECHNIQUES ———————————————————————— ✦ Waterfall Fists | Taking a face on stance on their opponent, the user is able to unload one hundred punches in the space of a second. ✦ Raging Torrent | Much like the Waterfall Fists technique, Raging Torrent involves taking a face on stance towards an opponent. However rather than punches being thrown, the users unleashes ki blasts. Twenty blasts in total are fired in the space of a second. ✦ Sudden Storm | The user channels their rage into their fists until they glow with energy, with each hit from them feeling like a babies punch. Within three seconds of the glow fading the opponent experiences the true full force of each punch simultaneously. The more punches that land, the more damage that is inflicted. ✦ Mistform | The ultimate in defensive techniques, Mistform can protect it's user from harm. The user is unable to attack as they focus solely on their opponents movements. Incoming attacks are easily avoided but at the cost of extreme stress on the body. The level of focus is that severe that prolonged use will result in complete exhaustion. As such it should only be used to waste time against vastly superior opposition.

_{PERSONALITY ^{—————————————————————————}}

A long life has seen him mellow out drastically from his angst filled youth. He is usually laid back and relaxed but can turn serious when required.

_{HISTORY ^{—————————————————————————}}

Kojiro has spent the majority of his life as a martial artist and sacrificed a life with his high school sweetheart to chase his dream of becoming the most skilled fight on the planet. He is well known through out the world, by those old enough anyway, for numerous tournament wins in his early thirties. He eventually retired from fighting competitively and focussed solely on his dojo and the students within it. As time went on the numbers dwindled and he feared his art would be lost. That is where Samanosuke came along. All who had come before the boy had lacked the raw power and energy needed to truly master the art of Fists of the Swift Wind. The growth he saw from Sam gives him hope that the art will live on for at least one further generation.

Beyond this Kojiro has a solid relationship with Korin and will often visit him in his tower. The pair have a monthly game of poker that can sometimes get out of hand, but the two will always make up ready for the next game. The games often involve Master Kojiro, Korin, Master Roshi and usually several younger women. He has met Kami and Mr Popo numerous times but only as a result of the noise he and Korin can create when their games take a turn for the worst.

_{ABILITIES ^{—————————————————————————}}

✦ Pure Technique | While his power may be lacking against most, there are very few individuals who have such a fluid mastery over their body and their art as Kojiro. He knows where to put his body to avoid attacks the most efficiently and when to strike to deal the most damage.

✦ Reaction Speed | While he has aged, Master Kojiro still has the same speed he had sixty years ago. The speed he can react to some attacks can almost be mistaken for foresight.

_{TECHNIQUES^{—————————————————————————}}

✦ Blinding Light | A simple technique where Kojiro is able to focus his ki into one point, creating a blinding flash. The flash leaves opponents disorientated for several seconds.

✦ Multiform | Even with his old age, Kojiro is ridiculously quick. Multiform is a technique where Kojiro moves so fast that there appears to be many versions of him around his opponent.

✦ Hurricane Fist | A large ball of ki covers the entirety of his fist and he hits his opponent with explosive power.

✦ Kamehameha | After beating Master Roshi in a game of cards, the Turtle Hermit had to teach Master Kojiro his famous technique.
