[color=aba000][b]Name[/b][/color] Paple [color=aba000][b]Age[/b][/color] 20 Galactic Standard Years [color=aba000][b]Species[/b][/color] [url=http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Tuffle]Tuffle[/url] [color=aba000][b]Attribute[/b][/color] Infiltration, Science and Mechanics. In short, Paple ensures the ship doesn't blow an engine in the middle of dark space, or that a dip in the medical pod doesn't cause a spontaneous growth of extra limbs and ensuring that the planetary scanner doesn't malfunction so spectacularly that the team ends up landing on a toxic badland. In other words, the lone Tuffle of the team is responsible for general upkeep of equipment and core systems. Engines, life support, and autopilot are a few of what Paple will be worrying about incessantly over the course of the assignment. While a capable hand to hand combatant after a lifetime of Interstellar Security Force training, Paple's true expertise comes at infiltration and sabotage by making use of a number of gadgets he pioneered alongside his fellow ISF Tuffle cohorts. From breaching an enemy base with an invisibility generator and hacking into their systems to 'securing items of interest' before a planetary garrison even knows there's been a security breach, Paple is a very useful young man to have on a suicide mission. [color=aba000][b]Personality & Appearance[/b][/color] Paple, like the majority of his race, stands at a rather diminutive height of 5'2". His hair is a rather unkempt mess of black accompanied with a pair of hazel gray eyes that almost glow whenever his scientific curiosity is peaked. While Paple retains a physically fit physique from his years of training in the Interstellar Security Force, he is far from a domineering or intimidating presence on a battlefield. That's just not his style. Paple is a genueniely goodhearted and inquisitive young man who follows orders when given. Paple will almost always deferr to those of higher rank or stronger motivation in a time of crisis, seeing as he's mostly in over his head. The only hint of contempt in Paple seems to be a rather routine disdain for the Planet Trade Organization. Unlike most of his contemporaries, Paple holds no inherent disdain for the Saiyan Race, seeing as he wasn't alive during the Saiyan-Tuffle War and he currently believes the conquerors of his ancestors' home world to be extinct in a cruel case of karma.

Something Tuffles excel at. This has manifested itself in Paple's creative manipulation of ki into elemental techniques. [i]Electrostatic Symphony[/i] - Paple's signature technique where he charges his fist with concentrated ki in the form of electric energy that he quickly discharges into the opponent via common attacks such as a punch or kick. If direct skin contact is made or the opponent's armor is not insulated the effects of this attack can range from simple spasms like that a person feels after being hit by a police tazer, to a complete frying of internal systems causing permanent damage or even death if enough ki is poured into the attack. [I]Acicidic Cantabile[/I] - Paple is capable of imbueing his own stomach acid with ki and spewing it out of his mouth at any given notice. The energized bile is highly corrosive and is generally used by Paple to melt through walls, and occasionally, body armor and an adversary's skin. The technique is especially dangerous in enclosed spaces, as the vapors left behind still withhold their acidity, affecting any number of opponents in the specified area, although any allies of Paple caught in the vapors will obviously suffer the same fate. [I]Hell blaze Sonata[/I] - A simple energy beam of pure fire. The flame has a tendency of changing colors the more energy is poured into it, ranging from typical orange and yellow to pure white. [color=aba000][b]Backstory[/b][/color] Born to an Interstellar Security Force Scientist named Lenom and his wife, Nabana, a mechanic, Paple is one of the few hundred remaining Tuffles who managed to avoid subjugation by escaping planet Plant in the waning years of the Saiyan-Tuffle War. While adrift in the North Galaxy, the Tuffles were approached by an ISF envoy. The Tuffles went into an odd form of protective custody under the ISF until the two sides reached an agreement; the ISF would offer safe haven to the Tuffles in exchange for their service as scientists, mechanics and doctors. Paple was one of the first Tuffles to be born after their evacuation of Planet Plant, and he has spent the majority of his life studying under his parents and scouring the galaxy for a suitable planet for his kinsmen to settle on due to their home world's destruction at the hands of Frieza. Paple was always considered more adventurous than the majority of his race, training practically since the age of five to become an officer in the ISF, though he spent an equal amount of time scratching his scientific curiosity by tinkering with a few gadgets here and there, managing to make his own handheld hacking device during his years in the ISF Academy. Though he had only just earned his badge, Paple was recommended for the operation, presumably by one of his former instructors.
