Appearance:
Though Raditzu wears no sort of 'uniform' he has always dressed for comfort. More often than not, he can be seen lounging about in baggy pants and some form of muscle shirt, should he choose to wear one at all. During combat, the long-haired warrior dons the skin-tight undersuit common to many warriors. His Quicksilver armor has been fashioned to look almost identical to the saiya-jin armor he wore for so many years.

--Moves--
----------------[INDENT]Masenko - You can't beat the classics. Though there are stronger techniques out there, Raditzu has never been able to resist the combination of speed and power the Masenko has. Plus that awesome purple color. What's not to love? Seriously though, the Masenko is a beam attack formed by raising both hands above the head, one of top of the other. Its fired when the user brings both arms forward. Its fast firing and can be reinforced with additional ki when Rad needs that extra little oomph.

Burn Knuckle - Quickly becoming a favorite of the long-haired wonder, Raditzu's Burn Knuckle has put more than one person in their place. The attack is as simple and straight-forward as Rad himself is: the user explodes forward, fist-first, with a super-powered punch. Ki rages around Rad's fist, making it appear as though its actually on fire. This attack is exponentially stronger than any simple punch.

Power Break - Venomous Ki is usually a slow-acting agent, but Raditzu has developed a technique that gives you the same great taste with half the calories. That is to say, the Power Break is a physical strike infused with Venomous Ki. Upon contact with someone else, the venom seeps into their body and "explodes." This "explosion" doesn't do any physical damage, but it greatly disrupts the flow of ki and can decimate any ki that someone may have been using for a technique.

Frazzle - This technique comes from Raditzu's ability to channel and controls powerful bursts of electricity, otherwise known as Raikinesis. After grasping someone's head, the saiyan generates a powerful charge of electricity. The blast can kill an average human instantly, frying their brain. Strong fields of ki have been known to protect people from the lethal effects of this move, but its still more than capable of disorienting someone.[/INDENT][INDENT]Strong Arm - Using his store of Katchin metal (often hidden as an extra layer under his armor), Raditzu covers his right arm. This covering serves several purposes. Simply having a katchin-clad fist makes punches significantly more potent. As a defense, Raditzu can reform parts of the arm into shields or spikes or even an umbrella. The other unique feature of this covering is a series of vents along the outside of the forearm; when open, these vents exhaust ki and accelerate the speed of the saiyan's punches. While the Strong Arm covers the palm of Rad's hand, he can't project ki. Retracting the katchin slows the speed of some of his ranged attacks.[/INDENT][INDENT]Blast Barrier - Though the long-haired warrior has never been big on defensive techniques, he would be ill-advised to not be prepared for anything. The Blast Barrier is his take on a more traditional "wall of ki" style defense. The saiyan creates an orb of ki that surrounds his entire body. For a few moments, the orb functions as a simple protective barrier. After those moments the shield explodes outwards, propelling away anything within an arms' reach. This can be used to deflect ki attacks, or push back an attacker. Rad has even come up with a few offensive uses for it.
[/INDENT][INDENT]Blast Whip - By manipulating the metal in his bracers, or by drawing additional metal under his armor or from his Strong Arm, Raditzu can create a prehensile whip. In order to control the whip (and make sure its strong enough to actual injure/tie down a super power) Raditzu must infuse the weapon with his own energy; that's where the weapon gets its name. Upon contact with another surface (opponent's or otherwise) Raditzu can discharge a portion of the ki in the whip to create a potent explosion. After doing so he needs to recharge the whip, but its usually worth it. Alternatively, Raditzu can channel electricity, via his Raikinesis, along the whip.[/INDENT][INDENT]Blast Chain - This technique relies heavily on Raditzu's Raikinesis ability. The saiyan channels a bolt of lightning outward from his hand. The bolt extends forward, creating "anchors" as it passes through anyone in its path. The saiyan then channels ki through the lightning to create explosions at these anchors. The more anchors the ability creates, the more ki the saiyan expends. The chaotic nature of lightning, however, makes it incredibly difficult to aim, and Raditzu is just as likely to hit allies as he is enemies, if they're in his initial line of fire.

Blast Pad - Moving at high speeds at be a difficult thing to do when fighting mid-air. Rapidly changing direction or building momentum have been problems for Raditzu for a while. This technique is a solution to that. Raditzu creates a free-floating disc of energy, roughly two feet in diameter. The surface of the disc rapidly repels energy, creating a spring-like effect to anyone who touches. After being used once, however, the Blast Pad dissipates.

Pearly Whites - This is, without a doubt, the true trademark of the long-haired wonder. Many years of active brushing and flossing have gone into preserving the saiyan's smile. Rarely is he without his grin.

-Abilities-
----------------

• Genki Dama - Spirit Bomb - Learned from training under the renowned Kaiousama, the Genki Dama is an attack of potentially tremendous proportions. Rather than relying on the strength of the one using it, the Genki Dama is created by gathering energy from other living beings. The more time spent gathering energy, the more powerful the Genki Dama can be. This is the weakness of the technique. While gathering energy, the user must remain completely focused, leaving their body open to attacks.
  
  Kaioken - Learned long ago from Kaiousama, Raditzu can use this ability to increase his ki greatly. Though the power bestowed by this technique pales in comparison to Raditzu's Super Saiyan transformations, it is useful for gaining an advantage without having a great impact upon his stamina. His long years of training with this ability have neutralized the draining effects it used to have.
  
  Kai Kai Teleportation - While this isn't actually an offensive ability, Raditzu has adopted this technique into his fighting style. His abnormally high speed movement allows him to mimic even faster movements by using teleportation. In addition, it is incredibly hard to keep up with instantaneous movement, no matter how fast you are. For that reason, attacks that involve teleporting towards an enemy are usually effective.
  
  Metal Binding - Having recieved training from Lord Vine, Raditzu learned to manipulate metal by weaving his own ki through it. Having almost mastered this ability, Raditzu can strengthen the metal with his own ki, giving him the ability to make weapons with the power to damage other warriors. This ability can also be used defensively. Raditzu can create discs of metal to intercept blows. With this level of mastery of Metal Binding, the discs can float free of his body. Rad has also taken to creating tendrils of metal to trap an enemy and leave them open to attack.
  
  Super Saiya-Jin - This powerful ability transforms a saiya-jin into a being of immense power. When Raditzu first attained this ability, he was unable to control his actions. Because this requires a moment of rage, that same rage would blind the saiyan's judgement and ability. After time spent training in the Room of Spirit and Time with Nail, he was able to gain control of the ability.
  
  Super Saiya-Jin 2 - With the powerful SSJ ability mastered, Raditzu has transcended beyond that level of power. Triggered by witnessing the death of Android 18, this ability has only been used by the long-haired saiya-jin a few times. Once he has ascended to this level of power, he is driven into a mad rage that he cannot even begin to control. So great is the consuming hate that Raditzu can not remember exactly what happened during the period of his transformation.
  
  Within his own mind, Raditzu has created an avatar of this uncontrollable rage and anger that he refers to as The Dark One. This incarnation of Raditzu's primal instincts confronts him any time he attempts to tap into the full strength of his second transformations. On a couple of occasions, the warrior has given in to this being, allowing him to weild his body for the purposes of destruction and savagery.
  
  After training under Lord Vine, Raditzu has gained the ability to control his transformation. This, however, stems from being able to harness his emotions and, as such, can require a great deal of concentration. Should Raditzu come under immense physical stress, or emotional duress, he slowly reverts to his berserker state, becoming an embodiment of hatred and destruction.
  
  Fusion - Learned as a method of combating the fused warrior known as Kamikorro Daimao, Raditzu trained in the afterlife under renowned warriors to obtain his ability. Along with Vegeta, he suceeded in mastering this technique and defeating the evil that conquered Earth. His fusions, to date, inculde:
  
  -Vegitzu (Raditzu + Vegeta)
  -Gokitzu (Raditzu + Goku)
  -Eightzu (Raditzu + Android 18)
  
  Shapeshifting - Raditzu is unclear about how he obtained his particular technique. He presumes it resulted from exposure to a bomb during the Friend or Foe II competition. As of yet, he has very little control over his transformations, and has only really managed to change into a single shape: a cat. When in this form, Rad refers to himself as "Radcat". In the back of his mind, he worried about certain individuals seeing this mighty warrior as nothing but a furball.
  
  Dark Ki - Great training was put into concealing his own energy. As a result of this training, Raditzu has managed to gain a limited ability to cloak his energy. Only the most advanced scouter or highly developed ki sense can detect his energy.
  
  Telepathy - An unannounced benefit to long years of training, the long-haired wonder found he has gained the ability to tap into the minds of others. Though, at this point in time, the ability extends to only the more powerful emotions one would be feeling, with time this could become a very powerful tool. During a fight, Raditzu is often too pre-occupied to use this skill effectively, but it has alerted him to surprise attacks on a few occasions.
  
  Venemous Ki - Wihle training at Lord Vine's, Raditzu had several occasions to witness Sei's healing ability first hand. When he asked her about it, Sei explained that her healing is simply a process of weaving ki throughout a person's body to aid their natural healing process. Using that theory, Rad crated his Venemous Ki technique. By weaving his own ki throughout someone's body, via physical contact, Raditzu can slowly break down their energy. The process weakens their blows, slows their movement, and inhibits their ability to fly and fire off long-range projectiles. This ability was refined during Raditzu's training in the Room of Spirit and Time wtih Bra.
