Joining as [Ogg] - Ogg - 06-14-2010
Name: Ogg
Age: 15
Race: Oggling (Half Namek - Half Changeling descendant race, see Bio)
Sex: Male
Starting Planet: Namek
Profession: Guru's Apprentice (If that counts?)
Fighting Style: Cunning
Short Bio:
Ancient History tells of a group of Super Nameks who were exiled from Namek. Each of them went their own ways. Lord Snail travelled to a distant planet where he merged with a changeling of the head clan. The resultant being began procreating and thus the race of Ogglings was created.
Many hundreds of years later, after the demise of their progenitor, the Planet was attacked and destroyed, as is the way of things in the Dragonball Universe. However, before they were killed a husband and wife managed to eject a space capsule containing their son from the planet. The capsule followed the only trajectory it knew, back to the planet that their progenitor had come from, Namek.
Hence the last remaining of his race was found and handed to the spiritual sect, under the watchful eyes of Guru, where the boy trained throughout his childhood under his Namekian tutors. He received a degree of bullying from the younger nameks and his peers in his youngling years due to his different skin colour and lack of ears or antennae. This led to an eating disorder which accounts for his chubby nature. With the help of Guru he learned to turn his feelings of isolation into a fighting spirit which surfaces as his Defiant trait in battle.
General Description: Ogg stands an inch under 6ft tall, and with his rather rotund stature can create an initially intimidating figure. He bares a resemblance to a Namek due to sharing similar genes, however there are some obvious differences. He does not have antennae, nor does he have pointed ears, instead he has similar aural constructs to the changelings. Most obviously he has blue skin instead of green. And he has no pink muscle patches as Namekians do. His other distinguishing features are two stripes going down either side of his face vertically passing over his eyes, and continuing up over his cranium over and down his neck. The stripes are white and about an inch thick. As they go down his neck they spread out so that they appear almost like bracestraps. The same is true at the front, as they go over his colour bone they spread out. He has a goofy looking tuft of white hair sticking straight up ontop of his head like pineapple leaves. His clothes are in the style of the Nemekian Spiritualists and aids to the Guru.
Starting Abilities: Combat Teleportation, Ki Sense
Trait: Defiant
Stats:
Strength - 20%
Focus - 20%
Endurance - 30%
Agility - 30%
Role-play Sample: (minimum 300 words)
They stood around him, teasing him, jeering at him. "Blue Belly" they taunted, pushing further and further forward and down, verbally assaulting the chubby youngling cowering in a ball in the middle of the circle. Their endless days of bullying were hurting him far more than physical punches or kicks could. But what could he do? Guru-sensei deplored physical violence, so must he sit here and take this punishment day after day after day? Tears streamed down his blue cheeks, in line with the white stripes that ran vertically like railway lines down his face. He wanted to fight back, but he knew there were too many of them, and they were faster and stronger and bigger than he was. Normally after half an hour they would get bored of taunting him and disperse, and the boy would have a whole evening to recuperate before school started the next day, and the jeering with it.
But not this day. Through his sobs and sniffles he heard a voice cry out, interrupting their chants and taunts.
"What the blazes do you think you're doing eh?" The boy's oppressors, startled by the newcomer stopped and stared. "Look at you! Ganging up on a poor defenceless youngling like that!" The blue boy on the floor peered out from between the circle of legs around him, hoping to catch a glimpse of his saviour. “Whatever happened to the peaceful, tolerant Namekian eh? Don’t you even dare call yourselves Younglings anymore!” The boy spied him as the circle of legs shifted, their owners fidgeting nervously at their scoulding. He was old, and clutched a staff, but not so old as to be hunched over, certainly it seemed the staff was more of an aesthetic choice than a necessary requirement. “Well? What are you standing around for? Waiting for dinner, eh? Go on!” He stared intensely that the group of young miscreants, before lurching forward waving his stick, “Be off with you!” At his sudden movement towards them they broke and dispersed like a flock of vultures, each to their own respective nest.
The aging Namek shuffled up to the little ball huddled on the ground.
“Come on, up yer get.” He waited patiently for the boy to rise in his own time. And rise he did, the tightness of sobbing still in his chest, accompanied by the occasional heave to fight back any further leakage. Wiping his eyes with the long sleeves of his youngling robe he stared intently at the feet of the elder in front of him.
“Thank you mister sir…” He managed, feeling it was proper, even though deep down inside he hated having to be saved by someone.
“You’re the Guru’s apprentice aren’t you hmmmm? Ogg isn’t it?” Asked the man with a warm smile upon his lips.
“Ye- yes sir.” He fought back another heave of his chest.
“Well Ogg, you don’t have to thank me.” He paused, for effect. “But you don’t have yourself to thank either!”
And the aging man told the young apprentice of an idea of his. An idea in which he would teach the young boy to stand up for himself. An idea whose methods that would not conflict with the teachings of Guru-sensei. And the boy’s tearful heaves were replaced by a smile and an expanding joy in his heart at the prospect of such an art that would allow him to defend himself. And after the man had told the little blue boy about his idea, he proposed that they go to Guru-sensei’s immediately to ask permission for the boy to start training. And that they did, the boy now hopping along happily behind the shuffling elder, his stick tapping the path to Guru’s house high up on the rock.

Everything looks good except for your race, as outlined here:
Quote:Bear in mind, nameks (asexual males) can only be combined with android, because even though they don’t reproduce with others they can still be fitted as machines.
Nameks aren't capable of interracial union, since they're asexual. You'll either have to pick Namek (perhaps he has a skin disorder that makes him purple?) or create a custom race.

Mmmm i did think about this... hence him not actually directly procreating with the females of this other race. First he merged with another male.
Anyway... Cheers, Orion, Vad had sent me a PM checking up on being Guru's apprentice...
But right now im thinking about resketching the entire thing... I quite like the idea of being changelings in the same vein as Frieza, Cooler, King Cold... with a name like Fridge or Icicle or Snow or Blizzard...
What are the rules regarding multiple characters if I may ask?
Joining as [Ogg] - Orion - 06-15-2010
We don't allow multiple characters. You'd have to pick a character and stick with it. We do allow switching if you find you want to do that later, though.
