Raditzu
Saiyan
Rank S
------------------------------
Appearances
Skin-tight body suit commonly worn under armor.
Personality
Since winning Dante's Abyss two years ago, the universal exploits of the long-haired warrior have become common knowledge to anyone with an interest in DA. This has propelled the long-haired wonder to celebrity status in the world of DA. Unfortunately, this has also pushed the saiyan from "incredibly confident" to out-right arrogant.
Even though the saiyan feels that he has earned the right to be as arrogant as he wants -- many, many time, in fact -- he has made a conscious decision to focus on things other than himself.
Possible Reactions
Though he was initially excited about entering the Abyss this year, Raditzu has come to realize that he does not have a solid reason for doing so. As a fighter, he is constantly looking to improve his skills, but this can be done anywhere. He already has fame from winning before, he has the respect of many of the other fighters (either through recognition of his achievements, or fear of his strength), and he has absolutely no use for fortune.
Despite this, the saiyan will do everything in his power to take home the gold once again.
Relationships
Android 18 - The saiyan's significant other. Without the drive for fame and fortune, the saiyan would be incredibly hesitant to attack Eighteen.
Bardock - Raditzu's father and winning of the previous Dante's Abyss. Though the adventures of the father-son duo have been fairly limited, Raditzu has a great deal of respect for his father as a soldier. Despite their genetic link, though, Raditzu has no emotional attachment to Bardock.
Bra - Though he would never admit it to Bra, Raditzu sees the saiyan princess as both a friend and a pseudo-daughter.
Burter - Without a doubt, Burter is the closest thing Raditzu has had to a rival since Vegeta took over his father's paper-pushing on Vegeta-sei. Among other things, the reptile is the best measuring stick Raditzu has.
Kirano - During the fight against the Construct, Raditzu was thrust into working with Kirano time after time. Through their struggles, Raditzu sees a great deal of potential in the human.
Fighting Style
From the outside, Raditzu's fighting style looks sloppy and haphazard. This, however, belies the training he has received from masters such as King Kai, Grand, Kai, Lord Vine, and Guru, to name a few.
The foundation for his fighting comes from his enlistment in the saiyan military on Vegeta-sei. The soldiers are taught basics that emphasize overwhelming an opponent with raw strength and an unrelenting offense.
The combination of size, speed, strength, and training give Raditzu a surprisingly wide range of tools to utilize in a fight and his age has given him the experience necessary to make the most out of his training.
Abilities
Metal Binding - An ability learned while training with Lord Vine. This allows Raditzu to manipulate metal by weaving his ki throughout it. It has since become a staple of Rad's fighting style.
Fusion - The ability to fuse two warriors together, producing a new fighter that is far stronger than either of the originals.
Quotes
"Tch..."
"Ha! You wanna see how tough I am?"
"Sorry, want me to slow that down for ya?"
