Raditzu
Origin: DBZ AU
Grand Champion: Dante's Abyss V
Others: 2nd Runner Up (DA VII)
------------------------------​

Appearances

Raditzu is your standard saiyan warrior. He stands over six feet tall and wouldn't be caught dead without his battle armor, which seems to be a slightly older variant. His black body suit usually covers his lower legs and arms. Raditzu is famed for his massive hair, which matches his louder than life persona and manner of carrying himself in life.​

Personality

In his home universe, Raditzu became something of a celebrity among the quadrant. Famed not just for winning Dante's Abyss but also for his unrivalled physical speed (unmatched by a soul alive or dead) and strength, the universal exploits of the long-haired warrior became common knowledge to most people connected to the world beyond their local community. This propelled the long-haired wonder to celebrity status.​

​

Unfortunately, this also pushed the saiyan from "incredibly confident" to out-right arrogant, with that arrogance often counter-balanced by an almost 'space case' personality. Raditzu is prone to strange quirks, and the way he carries himself often comes off as adolescent. Even though the saiyan feels that he has earned the right to be as arrogant as he wants -- many, many time, in fact -- he made conscious decisions to focus on things other than himself.​

Possible Reactions

By the time he was pulled from his universe/timeline, Raditzu had already started to find himself somewhat unsatisfied with his life, despite all the accolades and accomplishments. Perhaps, in participating in another of Karl Jak's events, he can rekindle some of that old fire in his soul. At the very least, he has an entirely new platform to flex how xtreme he is, especially when compared to the sea of scrubs.​

Relationships

Android 18 - The saiyan's significant other, even if they've somewhat drifted from one another (and this version of her spent some time alone in another universe as well). Despite that, the saiyan would be incredibly hesitant to attack Eighteen unless she instigated it or they had agreed to throw down.​

​

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.​

​

Broli - Broli is a legendary figure on his own, albeit mainly in the realm of the saiyan homeworld. Raditzu has both beaten Broli before and been bested by the saiyan warrior, so he'll approach him with a degree of hesistance.​

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. If there was a luminary in his home universe, Raditzu likely trained under that individual and was one of their stand-out students.​

​

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. When coupled with his legendary speed, he is a force to be reckoned with, even if some of what sets him apart is nullified due to the inhibitor technology. Even so, 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.​

NPC Handicap and Notes

Handicap - Raditzu was quite possibly the strongest individual to ever live in his universe's version of the North Quadrant. He slayed demigods, turned back invasions, and won his fair share of competitive events where he was pitted against other legendary warriors. Given the Syntech inhibitor and the fact that he's somewhat more dense than he might seem, Raditzu's handicap is a 3.​

Notes - Raditzu is likely to ally with anyone who is willing to entertain him/spend time with him. That said, he's just as likely to get bored of you and either back stab you or simply ghost you.​

Unique - Raditzu has the ability to go 'Super Saiyan 2'. To do so requires an application of Focus and then places his power on cooldown for 24 IC hours. For assessment purposes, this counts as both an application of Focus and treats him as if he has an extra 'Good'-tier weapon for the duration of the scene.​
