No. But I have heard "counting your chickens before they hatch." =D

[Dehan]

No...what the hell does it mean? YOU TRYING TO BE A SMART ALECK? YOU WANT ME TO BUST OUT MY WHOOPIN STICK?

Is'nt it something like moving too fast or something? Or not planning or planning too much or not thinking before you speak or something?

It's like saying someone bought a house, without waiting for the loan. And I know who you're refering to.

[Dehan]

....so basically you're saying 'Don't rush' or something...these analogies are unnecessary. But fun none the less...More Please!

[OldZorn]

I know what your saying the bastard hasn't even roleplayed as Minoshia and yet he is making a custom character? Yeah so sue me. (BTW I will be posting my first post tonight! Although I doubt it will be anything ground breaking)




Name: Talon.... something maybe just Talon idk.
Race:Saiya-jin,Tsufuru-jin, or Human. Hell I don't know yet. All I can say is he looks like a man and isn't asexual
Gender: Male
Age: IDK
Fighting Style: IDK
Appearance: Outside of his armor I don't know. Its going to depend on the race I decide on.
Personality: Again depends on his race.
Background: So far I have three ideas two concerning time. One has him pull a Captain America and be a old warrior who was frozen in time and later discovered. Another has him being a test subject for a time machine and him getting stuck in the past. Yet another has him as a clone of some kind. Of course I could change everything.

Jango Fett or Bubba Fett? lol Bubba rotflmao

[OldZorn]

lol Close it is a Mandalorain. I grabbed it when I considered being a Tuffel. I like the armor. If I end up being a Sayain or human it is just gonna be a cool old or new style of armor that he wears lol.

Because if you count them, and then you make an omelette, you're screwed.

I never got that. Why not count your chickens before they hatch, because if an egg is fertilized it will make a chicken. Why not say "Don't count your hens before they hatch," or, "Don't count your roosters before they hatch."

[Hellfighter 17]

One could be thrown at an old man.

If an egg is an egg, its not a chicken.

Even som fertilized eggs don't hatch. They go "bad".

I'm playing around with a few different character concepts for my custom. Here's one of them:

---------------------------------

Name: ?Nez?
Age: 24
Race: Human (Caucasian)
Height: 6?2??
Weight: 170 lbs
Eye Color: Blue
Hair Color: Blonde
Fighting Style: Self-styled Brawling
Alliance: Fighting Dreamers!

Appearance

If there is one thing this self-proclaimed freedom fighter takes pride in, it?s his appearance -- not in a vain, self-centered way, but rather an obsessive, dominating compulsion. Clear skin, trimmed finger nails, brushed hair, and freshly ironed clothes are all a must before Nez can start the day. Most find this kind of compulsion a bit odd for someone who so often finds himself in a scrap, but Nez merely brushes it aside.

Nez has long locks of golden hair that he often ties in a low ponytail: not only is this practical for getting into a fight, but Nez thinks it looks really cool, too. Most remarkably of Nez?s facial features are his piercing blue eyes (?brimming with the fires of freedom? Nez would say) and sparkling white teeth. More often than not ? and quite contradictory to Nez?s obsession with the rest of his appearance ? a light stubble adorns Nez?s chin; this stubble, however, is often quite hard to see since his blonde hair blends into his white skin.

Very evidently, Nez is Caucasian. His skin tone is not what people would describe as tan, but neither is it pasty. His well defined muscles comprise most of his body weight, but he does not come off as particularly bulky. Though his attire appears average and unassuming, Nez picks clothing that both reflects his care-free attitude as well and lends itself to dramatic poses.

Personality

There is no one personality trait that describes Nez. His seemingly random amalgamation of personality quirks and flaws are what truly define him. At the forefront of this cornucopia of idiosyncrasies is without a doubt his disturbing seriousness. Its not so much that he is overly serious, but rather that he is serious about everything. Nez would just as readily suggest sawing a woman in half to amuse onlookers as he would going to get a bite to eat. The strangest feat seems perfectly normal while seemingly mundane acts seem pointless and unnecessary.

Though the above may seem like a distinguishing enough feature, it is merely a prelude to the fierce sense of justice that Nez seems to embody. He will fight tooth and nail to preserve his freedom and the freedom of anyone else. Though often times that means performing acts that would disturb most, Nez performs them readily. The human has landed himself in some interesting predicaments as a result of his constant freedom fighting.

Serving out his self-proclaimed justice and filled with an unrivaled righteousness, Nez can?t help but cast upon anyone, within earshot, a deluge of judgments and proclamations ? often from a very dramatic pose. No true freedom fighter can take their work seriously if they?re not willing to do it with a little pizzazz; though most people would simply say Nez looks like something of an idiot.

Underneath the fighting and the posing and idiosyncrasies, Nez is actually quite intelligent. His capacity for insight and understanding is far beyond most people?s expectations. Though many of his exploits may seem foolish and ill-conceived, Nez spends a good deal of his time sorting out the philosophical underpinnings of what he does. More than simply striving to bring people the freedom that they deserve, Nez takes the time to understand how people are being oppressed before taking action.

Background

Through much of his life, Nez would describe himself as ?misunderstood.? Often he was cast into the same group as the ?troublemakers? and ?bullies? around him, though he acted out for noble and just causes (according to him). He saw this typecasting as a test for himself and set to overcome any adversity that was set before him in his pursuit of freedom. As a child, this meant overcoming the rule of his parents, finding ways around the authority of his teachers, and beating back the bullies that would come after him. As a teenager this usually meant skipping class and looking for other people who were oppressed as he was. His blunt and unbecoming methods, however, quickly got him in trouble. When he was labeled a ?gang leader? in high school, a group of teachers found reasons for his expulsion.

Though expulsion was merely another adversity to overcome. The freedom to attend school was not something Nez was going to have stripped from him. After escaping the charges set against him, Nez learned that he must conduct himself in a slightly more acceptable manner. In his early college years, Nez rallied many people to his cause of freedom fighting, but most of his colleagues ended up being worthless hippies who were content to sit around and bitch. There came a time (namely when whispers of Nez being a terrorist started spreading) when Nez needed to move on and find people truly willing to take action for the betterment of mankind.

With nothing more than the clothes on his back and whatever he made by pawning his parent?s valuables (a donation made in the name of his honorable pursuit) Nez left home and struck out to find ways to make an honest difference in the lives of those around him. This was a rather hardening experience for the man, as he had never had to truly work for anything in his life before this point. His natural intellect and penchant for understanding had seen him through his academic career, his linguistic dexterity had allowed him to talk his way around most verbal confrontations, and his physical strength and fortitude had allowed him to forcefully break down many barriers, but he had no clue how to function as a working part of society. He later came to realize that he had taken what he had provided with for granted. Most would call such an outlook as simply being spoiled, but Nez maintains that he was so busy looking at the big picture that he didn?t have time to bother with the little details.

When he left home, Nez cast aside the name he had been given at birth. No one actually knows what his real name is and those who have gotten to know the human wonder whether or not he even remembers. He prefers to simply be addressed as ?Nez? or ?leader? depending on the circumstances. Leader, Nez tells those under him, is for when he is on an official ?Fighting Dreamers? mission. Fighting Dreamers is the moniker Nez adopted for his ?gang? and it is a name he has always carried with him. Even when there is only one member, the Fighting Dreamers live on. As long as Nez draws breath he will be the leader of the Fighting Dreamers and everything they stand for.

Fighting Style

Nez has never had any formal teaching as a martial artist, nor has he ever sought any out. Neither is he aware of the ki that flows through his body; the ki that grants him his otherwise superhuman strength and endurance is a mystery to him. When asked about his abilities, Nez simply tells those around him that it is the power of his convictions being given physical form. That generally stops people from asking any more questions.

Many times Nez has found himself confronted with a foe he can not talk around or avoid and has had to rely on brute force to see his goals achieved. These bouts have forced him to create a crude set of techniques that he fights with. Though many have called his style unorthodox, it is only so because they are trying to look at it as something it is not: a martial art. For the most part, it is simply Nez trying to find the best way to punch his opponent. His aptitude for this self-styled brawling, though, has led him to consider training under a real master many times. If there ever comes a time where his own inborn abilities are not enough for him to carry on his tasks, Nez will probably look for ways to further those abilities.

Looking at the top of the page, then the bottom gave me lulz.

Whilst I've had a possible custom planned out since way before the reset was even announced, purely out of 'some day' fantasising, I dunno if I really want to reveal all the details yet. Half because they're still in the tentative stage, half because it'll be more awesome when I finally reveal them. That and I don't want my picture to get stolen. >_>

If I do stick around after the reset, it will probably be as SB for a good while, though I have been toying with the idea that if the timeskip goes ahead I could make SB a super strong NPC and take my place as the custom instead.

[Raditzu]

I have a couple other character bios started, but that was the only one I had finished. I was mostly bored. Any random feedback or critique would rock my socks.

[Super Buu]

At first to be honest I thought I was reading about Rad (care free attitude and dramatic poses), but as I read more I noticed the differences (he's got a college loser-ish aspect in there, which was never apparent with Rad since he obviously never attended conventional school), and it's pretty sweet. Other aspects reminded me of Maito Gai (taking himself very seriously in all things), who fucking owns. He also kind of reminds me of the Cell you played at DBA, who deliberately set out as a superhero figure.

You should write a small sample as him (and any others you're considering). I find that's the best way of picking, since you can sometimes love a character in theory, then hate them when you start writing.

[Kirano]

Pretty good character description Rad, very concrete there. My custom isn't set in stone yet. I still got time.
