I mean saiya-jins already have the mentality to fight and kill everything,
You're looking at your character as a saiyan first, and Nappa second. It doesn't matter what saiyans "have." What matters is what Nappa has. If you switch, you're going to end up doing the same thing. Locking 16 into what an android "is" and ignoring what the character could be. Race is a great way to work in predefined characteristics, but that's all it is. There's no guide that says "if your character is a saiyan, he has to act like this." That would be utter bullshit, and its what you're doing to yourself.
You may be right that i AM looking at Race first. but it is here on chubbs, that sterotype for the saiya-jins. Its in the first paragraph of there race in the new forum (that i forget it's name but have read a lot of). I understand fully that i more than likely have done this to myself, and i'm retarded for doing it. I could just simply change the attitude of my character liek i've done in the past, but i'm almost positive i would not like the outcome. Not because i don't like Nappa, but because i don't think a saiya-jin should be anything other than a saiya-jin.
Quote:I would bet money that, if you switch, you'll play 16 for a while and then back to the exact same spot that you are now: stuck with a character that you "can't change."
I would take that bet. offer anything you'd like.
Quote:Yeah, for the most part I play Raditzu as something of a brute, but that's completely personal preference. It wouldn't matter what race he was. The fact that he's a saiyan just gives me an easy excuse for it. Heh... actually, the whole "bloodlusting saiyan" thing wasn't really what I had planned, its just what Rad turned into. And I'm quite pleased with the outcome.
I bolded a statment of yours in there to further emphasize my point of not wanting to be a siaya-jin for there brute force and lust for fighting. If i want to be that type of person IC then i would LOVE to be one, but again i think being a saiya-jin and not utilizing his heritage (even if i don't have to because i can do whatever i want with the character) is a waste of talent. there is one saiya-jin that is not portrayed as a saiya-jin here on chubbs, and i find it easy to see that we all like to see saiya-jins as saiya-jins.
