One feature he holds dear is that one of his black horns is broken in half, an old injury, an old failure. [/indent] [sub][b]RACE/ORIGIN[/b][/sub][hr][indent] [b]Arcosian / Frieza Clan[/b] [/indent] [sub][b]Power Level[/b][/sub][hr][indent] I'm having trouble with power level since I never really paid attention to the specifics on the show, since they were really just an excuse to make the baddies seem tougher. I'm thinking somewhere between your average Frieza grunt and Zarbon. [/indent] [sub][b]PSYCHOLOGY[/b][/sub][hr][indent] Dashade is usually a calm, polite and collected individual. Carrying himself as an honorable fighter who tries not to do anything without a good reason (Even if sometimes he does completely go against this), as he wishes to restore the name of his clan away from it's foolish roots, he becomes panicked whenever he feels embarrassed. He'll try to use any word that sounds smart, even if he doesn't know what it means, to look better. In a way, he has a bit of an inferiority complex. Overall he values the attribute of loyalty, loyalty to his cause, his people and his blood. He has seen evils, he has committed deeds that would make him question everything, but when you live under propaganda, you tend to find justifications an easy aspect collect. [/indent] [sub][b]HISTORY[/b][/sub][hr][indent] Icicle is an oddball in light of his people’s reputations, growing up much like any with a perceived noble blood backing them would grow, as an egotistical brat. You're led to believe that every other species exists below your own and you take it in stride and if you're lucky you'll be able to keep with this notion, otherwise it will end up knocking you off your pedestal and into the mud, lower than you ever thought. As a young boy, Icicle's ego and loose tongue brought him to his knees before his family, a word spoken out of turn left him hospitalized and shamed. Whatever family he had were family no more. He was disowned, stripped of his name and sent off to serve in the military under Frieza's fleet where at least a disappointment like him could make a good meat shield. The greater years of his life, where at his lowest point he was given the shameful name 'Dashade', were spent under the boot heel of his superiors. At first, it was his personal hell, but soon it grew on him. He had been so lost before, so abandoned by purpose, yet rising through the ranks, fight side-by-side with other grunts, he found value in discipline, companionship, loyalty and blind, blind devotion. Icicle was a noble mistake, but Dashade was a loyal soldier. His duty was his mistress and his superiors were his Gods, who he worshiped through his undying loyalty. He would make up for his past failures by pledging his soul to his people. [/indent] [sub][b]ASPECTS[/b][/sub][hr][indent] [b]Endurance:[/b] After his first humbling experience, Dashade was treated to many grueling years of overwhelming conflicts in Frieza's name. Out of this, he grew to have a glutton for punishment, manage to withstand plenty of damage before he'd finally go down. This comes in handy when outnumbered or outgunned, where the only objective is to outlast. When they said they wanted him to become a meat shield, by god he took that snide insult seriously. [b]Arcosian Gas Pocket:[/b] Like most of his species, Dashade's method of breathing allows him to survive in the vacuum of space, while adding an advantage in underwater settings. This does however leave a weak spot for anyone to exploit if they are knowledgeable of his species's biology. [/indent] [sub][b]SPECIALIZATION[/b][/sub][hr][indent] Dashade's fighting style is built around his role as a soldier, favoring maneuverability, tactics, weak points and misdirection. With a team he can give good strategic advice, on his own he will focus on slowing down his opponent more than dealing the most damage right off the bat. Tying into his view of himself as expendable, Dashade also shows no care for his own well being in both move set and style, his own most powerful move being one that could potentially kill him. [b]Soldier:[/b] Over many conflicts, Dashade has experienced many positions, from the front-line runt, to the backdoor adviser to at one point leading the charge in a chaotic situation. He is most effective in a team, taking orders and numbers in stride and placing the morale of others above his own comfort. While not the socially active type of person, he does get along well with those that work towards a similar goal than him and at all times is prepared to show off his loyalty and devotion. [b]Close-quarters Combat:[/b] While ranged attacks are effective, Dashade finds that he s better at fully utilizing his attributes (Like his own tail) at a close distance. He mostly concentrates on finding an enemies's weak point and going straight for it, unbalancing a foe before trying to beat them. [hider=Techniques] [b]Gravity Impact:[/b] With a mix of Ki and physical force, Dashade sends out a shock wave in front of him that can mostly act like a mini-shield. It makes for a great way to unbalance enemies as well as push them back, though on the attack end it's not really a damage dealer on it's own. [b]Milky Cannon:[/b] Stole- Inspired by Ginyu's own attack, this is a Ki Blast that is charged up and detonated at the users will, allowing Dashade to either use it as a quick offensive get away, or a hidden attack to catch his opponent from behind. No soldier should leave base without a few energy mines. [b]Burning Blood:[/b] Channeling his Ki around him, Dashade is able to coat him self in his Ki for a limited time, where he is able to charge into his opponent and attempt to slam into them as much as possible before he runs dry. [b]Cerulean Cannon:[/b] A risky, but powerful attack that requires time to charge. By channeling electricity through ones own body, Dashade can transfer the currents into energy to explode out of one hand, letting loose a devastating blast that will leave the user quite drained. The risk of manipulating such things in your body is high, if done wrong or simply using too much power, the move can end up backfiring on the user and even incapacitating them for a time. When Dashade first used this move he ended up with a dead arm for over a week.[/hider] [/indent] [sub][b]EQUIPMENT[/b][/sub][hr][indent] [b]Red Scouter:[/b] Standard issue scouter, sued for detecting energy signatures, analysis and communicating with fellow soldiers. If only there was a way to do that without technology. [b]Horn:[/b] In the incident that showed him to weak and pathetic, where he was disowned, the mark of his failure was the loss of one of his horns. Knocked off during his mother's punishment, Dashade still keeps the horn on his person, reminding him of what brought him here, reminding him of his failure. [/indent] [sub][b]RELATIONSHIPS[/b][/sub][hr][indent] [b]Family | Relationship[/b] Well, ex-family. They are proud and traditional, long ago cutting their ties with the youngest son after his weakness was revealed. His older brother, Fidge, took to hating Dashade since birth, the child was just a worthless creature he had to watch over. The brother took to calling him 'Welp' and dragging him to training sessions saying that Dashade needed to stand on his own two feet, but really it was just an excuse to flex his superiority over the welp. To this day, Fidge tries to distant himself from anything connecting him to Dashade, while Dashade respects his wishes; even at thier worst, Icicle did foolishly look up to his older brother. Glacia was a solemn and proud fighter, carrying that into motherhood she expected much from her sons. With Icicle she had been patient, she did all she could to get him what he needed to get stronger in both mind and body, but in the end it was all for naught. IN her eyes, he was a lost caused, when the foolish child angered the wrong person, she took it upon herself to punish him in combat, only to find that even then the child couldn't fight back. After his disownment, Glacia disappeared, ashamed of the turn of events and what was left of her family. In years to come, Dashade would grow to despise his mother, thinking of her as a vile and prideful woman that kept him down. [b]Frieza Forces| Relationship[/b] Dashade serves his superiors faithfully, finding an undying loyalty to the military that 'rescued' him from his old self. Though views change between people, Dashade is overall an effective and successful servant, if a bit pathetic and annoying with how he holds himself as well as his background. [/indent] [/hider]
