Dragon Ball Legacies

In the crowd, a hooded Kouta stood with his arms crossed, tapping his right index finger against his left bicep impatiently. It was evident that the demon hunter didn't really want to be here, in fact he hated the Budokai Tournaments, always seeing them as a waste of time. Still, he'd followed up on a lead that claimed there were demons at the Tournament, and so there he was, Kouta watching and waiting to see if any were indeed here to try something. Of course, the sheer noise and number of the crowds was irritating to say the least, as they were so loud he could barely hear himself think.

As time passed and introductions to the fighters were made, Kouta's gaze encircled the audience, rather than staying fixed on the ring or giant monitors like everyone else. The fights didn't interest him in all honesty, as he was here for his own mission. For the longest time, it seemed that nobody in the audience were suspicious or were worth looking into. Just when Kouta was about to give up on this lead and leave, he finally spotted him. A tall, red-skinned figure barged his way through the crowd, and Kouta narrowed his eyes in scrutiny. Yep, that was a demon if ever he saw one. But what was it doing here? Whatever their goal, it probably wasn't good. But should Kouta strike now? Doing so would disrupt the Tournament, and while he himself didn't really care, there were those who did care, and it would be best not to piss off a stadium full of people on top of the 16 fighters who were participating. Guess it'll have to wait. You got lucky this time, Demon.

Still, that didn't stop Kouta from staring intensely at the demonic being, determined to watch his every move and strike the very instant the creature presented itself as a threat. As if on cue, a human standing near it provoked the demon's attention and was sent flying by a gust of energy for his troubles. Thankfully, he was knocked in Kouta's general direction, who managed to catch the guy and put him down gently on the ground so he wasn't hurt. He fought the urge to launch an attack, knowing that now was a terrible time to be picking fights, "Grr... if it weren't for all the people I could just kill the damn thing and be done with it. Stupid tournament..." he muttered to himself, but all the while kept a steely gaze of distrust fixed squarely on the demonic figure. There was no way he was letting that... thing... out of his sight.

Yeah, it would. I'd rather not skip it, but I can try to speed us back to the Castle at least where the World Boss encounter can happen.

Dragon Ball Legacies

Name: Kouta
Age: (22)
Race: Human with Mystic Ancestry
Gender: Male

Power Level: 75/400
Stats
Strength: 70
Speed: 100
Endurance: 80
Ki: 150

Techniques

Name: All-Seeing Eye
Type: Enhancement
Description: The user's eyes glow with a mystical light, becoming attuned with their Ki. They enter a heightened state of awareness in which they can see and hear all around them with perfect accuracy. Their Ki sense also heightens, not only toward their surroundings but within themselves as well. In this state, the fighter can supposedly see all, through any illusion or deception. They also perceive incoming attacks at a much higher rate, allowing them to react with heightened speed and agility. His inward senses allow the fighter to launch his attacks at a fraction of their usual Ki, usually around half. This heightened state of awareness slowly drains the user's Ki as it remains active, eventually forcing them to revert from the state when most of their Ki has been used up.
Required Power Level: 100

Name: Howling Strike
Type: Ki
Description: The user focuses a great amount of his Ki into a single point of his body with which he uses to strike down his enemy. This usually takes the a form of a single punch or kick intended to be used as a finishing blow.
Required Power Level: 250

Name: Fangs of Death: Eight Points
Type: Combination
Description: The user strikes his enemy with weak, but precise, blows aimed for the target's pressure points. If used correctly, this can render the victim unable to use their limbs for a brief time. The power and accuracy of this technique is greatly enhanced when used in conjunction with the All-Seeing Eye.
Required Power Level: 250

Personality: Kouta is a tough nut to crack. On the one hand, he has a sense of justice and will not hesitate to fight in the name of it. On the other hand, his tribe's philosophy was practically forced upon him during childhood and he spent some years trying to distance himself from it and the world it was a part of, only to be inevitably drawn back in. Regardless, Kouta tries to remain the voice of reason in most situations, using a calm and analytical approach to problem solving. He tends to apply this to battle as well, often taking time to allow his opponent a few attacks in order to properly analyze their skill and devise a strategy for defeating them. As far as he's concerned, all the strength in the world means nothing if you lack the wisdom to use it properly.

History: Kouta was born to the mysterious Shi-Long Tribe. Living in a remote forest, the Shi-Long Tribe were said to be descendents of ancient Mystics who were supposedly responsible for teaching early humans how to use Ki. In ancient times, the Mystics were said to wage war with Demons, who supposedly ruled most of the world at the time. Outnumbered by the Demons, the Mystics decided to teach humans how to use Ki in order to gain an ally in their fight. From this, they allegedly defeated the Demons and banished most of them to the Makai Realm. The Mystics who fought alongside the humans stayed among them, and formed a union that eventually became the Shi-Long Tribe of today. The Shi-Long Tribe are, for the most part, demon hunters who search the world for stray Demons and other evil entities that have yet to be dealt with using the techniques taught to their ancestors by the Mystics. Their signature technique, the All-Seeing Eye, is the key to their success at tracking down Demons and piercing their deceptions.

Kouta himself grew up on these stories and legends, spent his childhood training in the martial arts and learning the sacred techniques of the tribe. But something about it just felt empty to him. Kouta found himself having no real aspiration for hunting demons and in his late teens he left the tribe, seeking to live a normal life in one of the cities. But destiny has a nasty habit of catching up to those who try to ignore its call. One night, while Kouta and his then-girlfriend Shino were sleeping, a demon appeared and murdered Shino, mistaking her for a demon hunter, meaning his intended target was Kouta. Grief-stricken and guilt-ridden, Kouta returned to Shi-Long village only to find it burned to the ground. Apparently a powerful Demon had attacked the village, exterminating its residents and then tracked down Kouta only to kill the wrong target.

The last of his breed now, Kouta began wandering the world in search of the Demon responsible for attacking the village and murdering Shino. And while he was at it, he decided to go ahead and hunt down anything else that needed killing, vowing to never let anyone be victimized again.

You forgot one important archetype. I call it The Lawman. Basically the guy or gal who works with some law enforcement agency, tries hunting down the team at first but over time realizes they aren't really threatening to anyone and usually finds ways to ignore them in favor of taking the real bad guys. You know, like Sterling essentially.

Marvels of Millennium City

Ronin

Name: Chad Yoshida

Alias: Ronin

Powers: Athleticism from martial arts training. Kendo expert. Enhanced strength and fighting prowess, but only while armored. Possesses a family katana capable of donning him in powerful samurai armor.

Weakness: Much of his strength and skill and granted by his sword and armor. Remove those, and you remove much of what makes him super.

Experience: While he's been practicing Kendo and Judo most of his life, Chad is still new to the armor and its abilities.

Appearance:
Normal
Armored

Age: 27

Brief Bio: Chad's grandparents immigrated to America from Nagasaki in 1939, just before the Second World War. From Japan, they brought with them a sword passed down in the family for generations. The sword, called Ryuuken, was the blade wielded by Ryuunosuke Yoshida, a samurai of the early 12th century and ancestor of the Yoshida's. They settled in New York, eventually having a son named Katsuo. When he grew up, Katsuo left New York for Millennium City, where he eventually married Chad's mother, Ellen Eriksen. When he was born, Katsuo honored Ellen's request to name their son after her late father, Major Chad Eriksen, a US Army Officer who was killed in action during the war, specifically the Invasion of Normandy.

Having grown up in Millennium City, Chad grew to know the streets and districts like the back of his hand. He also grew up pretty well off, his father having started a successful business empire known as YoshidaCorp, which specialized in medical research in response to the rise of people with superhuman abilities. Katsuo had made it his passion to study these individuals and use that knowledge to push the boundaries of medical science. Chad had been pressured into following his father's footsteps, but found himself more interested in his ancestral history, spending many weekends and summer vacations in New York where his grandparents told him many stories of Ryuunosuke Yoshida, and even teaching him the same martial arts styles Ryuunosuke had been famous for. When they passed away, the Ryuuken was left to Chad, whom they described as "a more suitable holder for the sword". Chad's father grew mysteriously more distant after this, though Chad never could figure out why. He soon got his answers.

One night while handling the Ryuuken, the sword to glow with an eerie light. Chad then heard a voice in his mind, "You who wield the Ryuuken, do you accept its power?" the voice seemed to emanate from the blade itself. Bewildered, Chad said the first thing that popped into his head, "Yes..." he responded, and with that the blade flashed a brilliant light, and Chad suddenly found himself wearing the armor of a samurai. Once this happened, the voice from the sword became more clear. It was Ryuunosuke, or rather his spirit, that he said had been sealed into the sword long ago. He explained to Chad that he once wielded his sword in the name of justice, and that he believed Chad to be a worthy successor to his power. Chad also realized that this must have been the cause of his father's change. Katsuo must have known about the sword's power and wanted it himself, only for Chad to get it instead. Chad took up the sword, and has since used it to fight crime and evil as a masked warrior called Ronin.

Notes: Chad is a decent fighter, but is by no means a master. If the situation is bad enough, Ryuunosuke's spirit can temporarily take control of Chad's body to fight in his place, though this apparently is a costly maneuver, as the sword becomes temporarily depowered after the act is finished and mush recharge before the armor can be donned again.

Commitment: I'm willing to post as often as needed to keep the RP going.
