Character name:
Juuhachigou, aka Android Eighteen
Character source:
Dragonball Z
Character history:
It hadn’t been the most ideal of childhoods. One would say that, given the circumstances, she never really had one. Eighteen lost her life and her name in one fell swoop, rendering her an anomaly to herself and those left behind.
In a distant universe, on a distant planet called Earth, Eighteen lived a carefree life with a twin brother, in what you would call a nuclear family. There were a number of qualities about the twins that made them not only attractive, but strong. This may very well have been why they were abducted by Dr. Gero to become his prized creations, among many, as an android.
Eighteen awoke from the deepest sleep she’d ever know. With no memories, and alone, she searched for answers and found more than she expected. She found not only several Dragon Ball’s, but a life-long friend in a flamboyantly courageous Saiya-Jin named Raditzu.
With the help of Raditzu, and many other friends, she traversed the planet and many others, discovering in herself a power she never knew she had. There was more to her life than the past that made her who she was. Despite the ups and downs, the deaths and the victories, Eighteen never let go of the fact that she was still human.
Shortly after saving the world with her companion and lover, Raditzu, the two set off to accomplish that which they had dreamed of for years. The Super Saiya-Jin Waffle House & Taco Emporium was opened in Central City. After several years of wars, fights, Dragon Balls, love, and anger, the android found happiness. She left the world in other hands, and resigned to simpler life.
Only, things could never be so simple. In the end, tragedy befell the android, opening up a whole new can of worms…
Stats:
ATK: 3
DEF: 3
SPD: 2
TEC: 2
Starting Proficiencies:
Physical Strength – 1000 OM
For all the characters who like to channel their power through physical strength. Whether you like to punch, kick, grapple, use swords, throw huge objects, or any combination of the above – this is the power you’re looking for. The degree of their physical strength is dependent upon your ATK stat, but even if your character is just a ‘weekend warrior’ they’ll find this power incredibly handy.
Ranged Proficiency - 1000 OM
Allows you to purchase moves which can attack from range. For example guns, bows and long-range beam attacks.
Starting Powers:
Jumping [Master] – +300 OM (800 OM total)
Allows you to jump up to 60 metres high.
Life Detect – 800 OM
Life Detect allows you to detect the life energy of all sentient beings in your current verse, even robots and other mechanical beings. By that nature, it can also detect when they are being snuffed out. Unlike Enhanced Senses, this does not tell you exact details such as that person’s stance or other details like the surrounding terrain, but it can tell you what direction a person is in.
Starting Moves:
Ki Blast – Eighteen is able to muster her power together and create a sphere in her palms to launch at enemies. Generally this is used for quick burst attacks during combat. This is considered a low-level move that could be improved upon [think basic ki attacks in DBZ].
Since it sounds similar to a starting weapon/move I’d assume it would cost 300.
Writing example:
“That’s way too much syrup, Raditzu.”
“Says you,” the Saiya-Jin replied, and then promptly squeezed the bottle of syrup with all of his godly might. It poured down like a waterfall of gooey richness and slathered the dozen or so waffles piled high on his plate. Gold pooled along the rim of the plate threatening to spill over.
“Look, now it’s going to get onto the table.” The girl clicked her tongue and folded her arms against her chest. Irritation glowed in her big blue eyes, and both brows connected in a furrow as she stared at the plate.
“Relax, babe, I’ve got this.”
Raditzu expertly shoveled the waffles into his mouth with the speed and precision that only a world-saver could possess; every morsel was devoured. It was as if the juggernaut was at battle, and all the while, his companion watched with an arch of her brow. By the time the last waffle patty was consumed, she was slowly uncrossing her arms.
“See?” he said, beaming. After all, he liked nothing more than to be right.
Eighteen stood from across the table in their modestly build restaurant. Business was doing well, so well that they were living a pretty good life. It had been his idea, a silly idea, but one that the android decided had to happen.
She took the two steps between them, closing the distance, making the long haired male raise his brows in confusion. “What now?” he complained.
With a finger tip, the android dragged a line down his chin, made a disapproving face, and then immediately cracked a sly smile. “You always miss a spot.” She dipped her finger into her mouth to clean it of syrup, and then grabbed the bigger fighter by the sides of his face.
Needless to say, most of the patrons had seen this before. The pair not only ran the place, but it was their home. They were well-liked by the city, after all, they had saved the damn place more than enough times. Although Eighteen was around a lot more than her male counterpart, when they were together, they were all but attached at the hip.
“There’s more where that came from,” he drawled once she removed her mouth from his.
“Later, I have errands. If you leave this planet one more time while I’m gone I’m going to strangle you. Yes, I’ll collect the Dragon Ball’s to bring you back, but only to strangle you again,” she replied sweetly.
“Yes, ma’am.” Raditzu gave a salute with his hand, mockingly, and flagged down one of the waitresses to pile on more waffles. He was far from done eating.
Eighteen gave the fool of a saiya-jin a kiss on the top of his head. “I love you, you oaf,” she said under her breath, and walked away from the table.
Things had always felt a little childish with him. It was always going to be like that. Raditzu made up for his shortcomings in, well, making her laugh. If there were ever a time the girl felt the world was a horrible, dirty, miserable place, he was always there to remind her of the time they managed to kill someone with a deck of cards and a teddy bear.
She didn’t think that walking away from him that day that, she would end up further away from him than ever before. After years of fighting the good fight, Eighteen met her end…and when she expected to find herself on Snake’s Way, or even worse, HFIL, she became aware, this time, of just how fucked she was.
