Unfortunately, their lives were cut short during the tragic destruction of their home planet. They were determined to ensure Bage's survival and managed to send him away just in time, entrusting his fate to the cosmos. Appearance: Totoma, a tall and muscular Saiyan, had spiky, coal-black hair that mirrored Bage's. His eyes were sharp and focused, reflecting the warrior spirit within.

Her eyes were equally intense, betraying the fire that burned within her Saiyan soul. Personality: Totoma embodied the typical Saiyan pride, reveling in the thrill of battle and the pursuit of strength. He had a fierce determination to protect his family, which ultimately led to his decision to send Bage away to safety. Mizuna was a more strategic thinker, balancing Saiyan pride with a sense of caution. Together, they formed a formidable team, complementing each other's strengths and weaknesses. Abilities: Totoma excelled in hand-to-hand combat and was known for his exceptional physical strength. Mizuna, on the other hand, was a skilled martial artist, specializing in agility and precision strikes. Both were proficient in energy-based attacks, utilizing a combination of ki blasts and powerful techniques that showcased their Saiyan prowess. Motivation: Their primary motivation was the survival and well-being of their son, Bage. They believed in the potential for change within the Saiyan race, hoping that Bage could be a beacon of a new era where strength was used for justice rather than conquest. Their sacrifice was a testament to their love for their child and their desire for him to grow into a warrior with a sense of responsibility. Legacy: Bage carries the legacy of his parents, their fighting spirit, and their hope for a better future. He often reflects on their teachings, incorporating their lessons into his own sense of justice. The memory of Totoma and Mizuna serves as a constant reminder of the responsibilities that come with strength and the importance of using it for the greater good. While Bage may not have witnessed his parents' heroic deeds, their legacy lives on through him, shaping the Saiyan warrior he has become. ------------------------------------------------- Name: Bage Race: Saiyan Appearance: Bage is a formidable Saiyan warrior with a commanding presence. Standing at 6 feet tall, his well-defined, muscular frame reflects years of intense training and battles. His spiky, jet-black shoulder-length hair stands in stark contrast to his sharp, obsidian eyes that exude a determined intensity. Bage's Saiyan battle armor, customized for maximum flexibility and durability, bears the scars and marks of countless encounters. Personality: Bage possesses a rare combination of Saiyan pride and a sense of justice while showing rare compassion for those he knows don't stand a chance against him unless they show no sense of remorse. Fierce in battle, he relishes the thrill of combat and continually seeks to push his limits. Despite his warrior nature, Bage shows a protective and caring side towards those he considers allies. His determination to become stronger is fueled not just by the Saiyan's desire for power but also by a genuine commitment to defending those unable to protect themselves. Background: Born on Planet Vegeta, Bage narrowly escaped its destruction as a child. Raised by the wise and benevolent Princess Celestia, Bage's early years were filled with a more peaceful approach to fighting, although he still made sure to train, honing his combat skills and unlocking the dormant potential within him. His upbringing led him to form an unlikely friendship and rivalry with Celestia's personal student, Sunset Shimmer, with whom he was able to hone his skills and grow his power. Abilities: Bage is a brute force fighter, proficient in various heavy-handed combat techniques and energy-based attacks. Signature Moves: Fury Lancer: Execution: Fury Lancer is a technique that demonstrates Bage's precision and control over his Ki. To initiate this attack, Bage focuses his energy into the palm of his hand, condensing it into a concentrated, elongated javelin-like form. Throwing Motion: With a swift and fluid motion, Bage hurls the Fury Lancer at his opponent. The projectile travels with remarkable speed and accuracy, making it difficult for adversaries to evade. The lancer leaves a shimmering trail of golden-red energy in its wake, showcasing the intensity of the Ki manipulation involved. Piercing Impact: Upon impact, the Fury Lancer can pierce through energy shields and armor, dealing significant damage to the target. Its concentrated nature allows it to puncture defenses, making it an effective tool against heavily armored opponents or those attempting to maintain a defensive stance. Versatility: Bage can manipulate the trajectory of the Fury Lancer mid-flight, adapting to the movements of his adversary. This adaptability adds an element of unpredictability to the attack, catching opponents off guard. Vexation Cannon: Charging Phase: Vexation Cannon is a technique that showcases Bage's ability to unleash devastating energy blasts. To execute this move, Bage crosses his hands in an X pattern, signaling the initiation of the charging phase. During this period, he gathers Ki from both hands, intensifying the energy between them. Charging Aura: As Bage accumulates energy, an aura of crackling electricity envelops his crossed hands, emitting a low, ominous hum. The air around him shimmers with the building intensity of the Vexation Cannon. Release: Upon reaching peak charge, Bage thrusts his crossed hands forward, releasing a colossal beam of energy. The Vexation Cannon is characterized by its immense size and power, capable of penetrating through multiple layers of obstacles and overwhelming opponents with its sheer force. Explosive Impact: The impact of the Vexation Cannon creates a concussive force, causing a powerful shockwave that can knock back adversaries and disrupt the battlefield. Its destructive potential makes it a formidable long-range attack, especially useful when facing multiple opponents. Wrath Bomber: Energy Aggregation: Wrath Bomber is a technique that involves the creation of a massive ball of energy. Bage focuses his Ki into a concentrated sphere, gradually expanding it to achieve maximum destructive potential. Visual Intensity: The Wrath Bomber radiates with a brilliant, fiery glow, showcasing the raw power contained within. The luminosity of the energy sphere intensifies as Bage continues to pour his Ki into it. Finishing Move: Typically reserved as a finishing move, Bage hurls the Wrath Bomber towards his opponent with precision. The sheer size and density of the energy ball make it challenging for adversaries to avoid, and its impending impact carries the weight of impending devastation. Weakening Strong Opponents: In strategic battles, Bage may deploy the Wrath Bomber to weaken a stronger opponent before engaging in closer combat. The explosive aftermath of the technique leaves adversaries vulnerable, creating an opportunity for Bage to capitalize on their weakened state. Bage's mastery of these techniques showcases his versatility in combat, blending precision, power, and strategy to overcome a variety of opponents in the ongoing quest for justice and strength. Motivation: Bage's primary goal is to protect the innocent and maintain peace across Equestria. His experiences have shaped him into a Saiyan warrior with a sense of responsibility, using his strength to make a positive impact rather than succumbing to the destructive tendencies associated with his race. Bage constantly seeks new challenges, striving to unlock the full potential of his Saiyan heritage while forging bonds with diverse allies on his quest for justice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sunset Shimmer, Princess Celestia's once wayward student, underwent a transformative period of extensive training with the Saiyan warrior Bage. This training not only refined her physical prowess but also introduced her to the mystical world of Ki manipulation. As a result, Sunset's appearance and combat style have evolved dramatically. Appearance: Enhanced Physique: Sunset's body has undergone a significant transformation, exhibiting enhanced strength, agility, and endurance. Auras and Glows: A faint reddish-golden aura envelops her when tapping into her Ki, intensifying during moments of heightened focus or combat. Modified Attire: Her traditional Equestrian attire has been modified for greater flexibility, allowing for a wider range of movements. The colors of her outfit now shimmer with a subtle golden hue. Eyes and Hair: Sunset's eyes now reflect a fiery determination, with a glint of newfound confidence. Her hair, retaining its vibrant color, seems to dance with an inner flame when in combat, though it's now cut short. Signature Moves: Ring of Fire: Extended Functionality: Variable Size Control: Sunset has mastered the ability to control the size of the Ring of Fire, allowing her to adapt its circumference based on the size and strength of her opponent. This versatility adds a strategic layer to the technique, making it effective against both larger and smaller adversaries. Enhanced Binding Energy: The fiery energy composing the ring possesses a binding quality, making it even more difficult for the trapped opponent to break free. Attempting to escape intensifies the searing energy, causing additional damage to those caught within. Combination Attacks: Sunset can seamlessly transition from the Ring of Fire into other techniques. For example, she might follow up with a Solar Flare Burst or a precise melee strike while her opponent is momentarily immobilized within the ring. Remote Activation: Sunset has honed her control over the Ring of Fire to the point where she can activate and deactivate it at will. This newfound control allows for strategic timing, catching opponents off guard by trapping them in the fiery vortex when they least expect it. Solar Flare Burst: Advanced Techniques: Focused Emission: Sunset can concentrate the Solar Flare Burst into a more focused beam, allowing for precision targeting of specific opponents or distant targets. This adaptation makes the technique effective in both close-quarters combat and ranged engagements. Delayed Activation: Sunset has developed the ability to delay the release of the burst after gathering the Ki. This tactical feature enables her to disorient opponents who may anticipate the attack, creating opportunities for strategic repositioning or surprise assaults. Blind Follow-Up Attacks: Building on the disorientation caused by the initial burst, Sunset can seamlessly follow up with a series of rapid and unpredictable strikes. This not only maximizes the confusion caused by the Solar Flare Burst but also capitalizes on the momentary vulnerability of her opponents. Adaptive Intensity: Sunset can modulate the intensity of the burst based on her assessment of the situation. In situations where blinding opponents is crucial, she releases a full-powered burst. However, in scenarios where precision and subtlety are required, she can emit a less intense but still effective burst of solar energy. Mastery through Experience: Sunset's continuous training and battle experience have elevated the effectiveness of both the Ring of Fire and Solar Flare Burst techniques. She seamlessly integrates them into her combat repertoire, using them strategically to gain the upper hand in the ever-evolving dynamics of battle. As Sunset continues to refine and innovate her techniques, these Ki-based abilities remain formidable assets in her arsenal. Solar Eruption: Preparation: Sunset Shimmer's Solar Eruption is a technique of cataclysmic proportions, requiring an intense build-up of Ki. To initiate this devastating attack, Sunset ascends into the air, positioning herself at a higher vantage point to maximize the destructive potential. Energy Gathering: As Sunset focuses her energy, a swirling vortex of golden-red Ki materializes above her. The sheer magnitude of the gathering energy creates an awe-inspiring spectacle, with crackling arcs of power dancing around the epicenter. The air resonates with an escalating hum, forewarning of the impending release. Devastating Power: Upon reaching the zenith of energy accumulation, Sunset unleashes the Solar Eruption. A colossal burst of radiant energy descends from the concentrated point above her, cascading in all directions like a celestial waterfall. The unleashed power has the potential to incinerate everything in its path, leaving behind nothing but scorched earth. Range and Impact: The Solar Eruption is not a focused beam but rather an expansive blast of destruction. Its radius can extend for miles, engulfing the surrounding landscape in a torrent of intense energy. The force of the eruption is comparable to a volcanic explosion, with shockwaves capable of shattering mountains and reshaping the terrain. Catastrophic Consequences: The aftermath of the Solar Eruption is nothing short of catastrophic. The ground within the affected radius is left charred and smoldering, with residual energy lingering in the air. The devastation is so profound that even powerful beings would hesitate to face the full force of this unleashed power. Drawbacks: Exhaustion: The execution of Solar Eruption demands an immense drain on Sunset's own energy reserves. Following its use, she experiences a profound fatigue, requiring a significant recovery period. Precision Challenge: The sheer scale of the technique makes it challenging to target specific opponents. Using it recklessly in populated areas could result in unintended collateral damage. Last Resort: Solar Eruption is a technique reserved for extreme circumstances, a last resort when Sunset Shimmer is pushed beyond her limits or when facing an adversary of insurmountable power. Its very existence serves as a testament to the untapped depths of Sunset's potential and the price that comes with harnessing such overwhelming forces. Ki-Enhanced Combat: Flight Mastery: Sunset can now effortlessly soar through the air, changing direction swiftly during combat. Ki-Infused Strikes: Her punches and kicks are imbued with Ki, delivering more powerful and precise blows. Energy Sensing: Sunset has developed the ability to sense the energy of other beings, allowing her to anticipate attacks and movements. Solar Plexus Strike: Technique: A swift and precise spin kick targeting the opponent's solar plexus. Effect: This targeted strike momentarily incapacitates the opponent, leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Ki Shield: Defensive Technique: Sunset can generate a protective shield of Ki to deflect incoming energy blasts or physical attacks. Adaptability: The shield's size and strength can be adjusted based on Sunset's concentration and the nature of the threat. Sunset Shimmer's journey with Bage has not only enhanced her physical abilities but also unlocked a new realm of possibilities through the mastery of Ki. As she continues to refine her techniques, Sunset stands as a formidable warrior, blending her Equestrian magic with the extraordinary skills learned from her Saiyan rival. Transformation: Rage Flare Sunset Shimmer's Rage Flare is a manifestation of her inner turmoil and unleashed fury. This transformation represents a surge of intense emotion that taps into the deepest recesses of her power, pushing her abilities far beyond their normal limits. Physical Transformation: Fiery Aura: As Sunset undergoes the Rage Flare transformation, her body is engulfed in an intense, flickering, and volatile aura of fiery energy. This aura radiates an otherworldly glow, illuminating her surroundings with a mixture of red, gold, and orange hues. Eyes of Flames: Sunset's eyes undergo a striking transformation, glowing with an intense, fiery radiance. The pupils vanish, giving her an otherworldly and focused gaze that reflects the untamed power coursing through her. Hair Ignition: Sunset's hair, normally vibrant and flowing, becomes animated with flames. It retains its original color but takes on a dynamic, flame-like movement that reacts to her heightened emotions and movements. Enhanced Physical Attributes: Heightened Strength: Sunset's physical strength undergoes a significant boost, allowing her to deliver devastating blows with unparalleled force. Supersonic Speed: In the Rage Flare state, Sunset moves with exceptional speed, leaving afterimages in her wake. This newfound agility enables her to outmaneuver opponents with ease. Enhanced Endurance: Sunset becomes more resilient, able to endure attacks that would incapacitate others. The transformation grants her a temporary immunity to fatigue and pain. Ki Amplification: Ki Overflow: The Rage Flare state unlocks a reservoir of Ki that surges through Sunset's body, amplifying her existing powers to extraordinary levels. Destructive Energy Output: Sunset can channel this heightened Ki into her attacks, causing them to become more potent and destructive. Even basic strikes can carry the force of a concentrated energy blast. Psychological Impact: Unbridled Wrath: Sunset's mindset shifts during the Rage Flare transformation. She becomes more aggressive, instinct-driven, and less restrained by conventional moral considerations. This unrestrained fury can be a double-edged sword, making her a formidable force but also potentially clouding her judgment. Emotional Resonance: The Rage Flare transformation is triggered by intense emotions, such as anger, frustration, or desperation. It is not easily controlled and requires a profound emotional stimulus to activate. Limitations: Temporal Nature: The Rage Flare transformation is a temporary state, and its duration is directly tied to the intensity of Sunset's emotions. Once the emotional catalyst subsides, Sunset reverts to her normal state, often drained and fatigued.Emotional Turmoil: The transformation's power is directly proportional to Sunset's emotional state. Unchecked anger and rage can lead to loss of control, making it crucial for Sunset to maintain focus to avoid unintended consequences. Sunset Shimmer's Rage Flare transformation is a testament to the volatile fusion of emotions and power within her. It is a double-edged sword, providing immense strength while demanding a careful balance between harnessing the fury within and preventing it from consuming her entirely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Shiso Race: Saiyan Appearance: Shiso, the estranged elite-class sister of Bage, cuts a striking figure with her Saiyan heritage evident in every aspect. Standing at 5 feet 8 inches, she possesses a lean and agile physique, her lithe frame belying the immense power that simmers within. Shiso's wild, Black hair cascades down her back in untamed waves, and her piercing obsidian eyes exude a mix of mystery and intensity. Unlike her brother, she prefers a more unassuming attire, adorned in form-fitting armor that allows for swift and stealthy movements. Personality: Shiso's upbringing has molded her into a Saiyan with a complex personality. Estranged from her brother at a young age, she developed a fiercely independent spirit and a guarded demeanor. Skilled in the art of stealth and espionage, Shiso is adept at reading situations and adapting to them quickly. Despite her seemingly aloof exterior, a burning sense of loyalty lies beneath the surface, and she is willing to do whatever it takes to protect those she cares about. Background: Shiso's path diverged from her brother's, being employed by mercenaries sometime after the destruction of Planet Vegeta, she delved into a life of shadowy dealings. Trained in the arts of subterfuge and assassination, Shiso's Saiyan heritage became a weapon in the hands of those who sought to exploit her innate abilities. However, her resilient spirit and latent Saiyan strength allowed her to break off from her employers and forge her own path, leading her on a journey of self-discovery. Abilities: Shiso's combat style is a stark contrast to her brother's straightforward approach. She excels in stealth and agility, relying on quick movements and precise strikes. While lacking the raw power of Bage, Shiso compensates with cunning tactics and a diverse skill set. Techniques: Stealth Ki Manipulation: Invisibility Technique: Shiso's Stealth Ki Manipulation goes beyond mere suppression; she can virtually render her ki signature undetectable. This advanced technique allows her to become invisible to those relying on energy sensing. Shiso's mastery of this skill enables her to move silently and unnoticed, making her an exceptional covert operative and infiltrator. Subtle Presence: Even in close proximity, opponents struggle to discern Shiso's presence. Her ability to dampen her ki extends to her movements, making her steps nearly soundless. This skill, combined with her natural agility, allows Shiso to traverse environments unnoticed, giving her a significant advantage in stealth-based operations. Dynamic Concealment: Shiso can modulate the intensity of her ki suppression dynamically. Whether she wants to completely disappear from an opponent's radar or maintain a faint presence, she adapts her Stealth Ki Manipulation to the specific needs of the situation, demonstrating a high level of control over her energy output. Nightshade Burst: Dark Energy Infusion: Nightshade Burst involves the concentration of dark energy within Shiso's limbs. This energy, distinct from regular ki, possesses a disorienting and corrosive quality, making it particularly effective in causing additional damage upon impact. Enhanced Striking Power: When Shiso delivers a strike, the dark energy bursts forth, extending the reach and impact of her attack. The sudden release of this energy catches opponents off guard, not only inflicting physical damage but also disrupting their senses, leaving them momentarily vulnerable. Versatility in Combat: Nightshade Burst is a versatile technique that Shiso can apply to various forms of combat. Whether she prefers hand-to-hand combat or employs swift kicks, the dark energy burst adds an unpredictable element to her attacks, creating openings for follow-up maneuvers. Focused Energy Control: Precision Strikes: Shiso's Focused Energy Control allows her to channel and condense her ki with remarkable precision. During combat, she can concentrate her energy into specific body parts, such as her fists or feet, enhancing the impact of her strikes without wasting excess energy. Pinpoint Accuracy: This technique enables Shiso to strike with pinpoint accuracy, targeting vital points on her opponent's body. The controlled release of energy ensures that the force is directed precisely where she intends, maximizing damage and minimizing unnecessary dispersion of power. Silent Fury Synergy: The Focused Energy Control technique seamlessly integrates with Shiso's Silent Fury technique, where she combines precise strikes with rapid, almost imperceptible movements. This synergy enhances her overall combat effectiveness, making her a formidable adversary with unparalleled accuracy and speed. Shiso's mastery of these techniques showcases not only her proficiency in ki manipulation but also her adaptability in various combat scenarios, solidifying her position as a skilled and elusive warrior capable of striking from the shadows with deadly precision. Signature Moves: Shadow Step: Execution: Shiso's mastery over stealth is epitomized by the Shadow Step technique. She seamlessly melds with the shadows, becoming virtually invisible to the naked eye. With a thought, she can traverse the shadows and emerge behind her unsuspecting opponent. Visual Effect: As Shiso enters the shadows, her form dissolves into a shadowy mist, leaving no discernible trace. Reappearing is just as swift, as her silhouette coalesces back into solid form. Strategic Utility: Shadow Step is not limited to offensive maneuvers. Shiso employs it for evasive actions, strategic repositioning, or escaping from dire situations. The surprise factor is often key to its effectiveness. Silent Fury: Execution: Silent Fury is a showcase of Shiso's exceptional agility and precision. It involves a rapid series of strikes, each meticulously aimed at exploiting the smallest vulnerabilities in her opponent's defenses. The strikes are executed with such speed and finesse that they produce minimal sound, hence the name. Visual Effect: Shiso moves like a phantom during Silent Fury, her movements fluid and barely perceptible. The strikes are delivered with economy of motion, maximizing efficiency while minimizing the chances of detection. Targeted Strikes: Silent Fury isn't about overwhelming opponents with brute force. Instead, Shiso targets pressure points, joints, and vital areas with surgical precision. The goal is to incapacitate or weaken her adversary while conserving energy for prolonged engagements. Adaptability: Silent Fury is versatile, adaptable to various combat situations. Whether facing a single formidable opponent or a group of adversaries, Shiso can modify the sequence of strikes to suit the circumstances. Umbral Displacement: Nature: Umbral Displacement is an advanced technique that combines elements of both Shadow Step and Silent Fury. Shiso exploits her mastery of shadows to displace herself within the darkness, making her movements almost impossible to predict. Visual Distortion: As Shiso engages Umbral Displacement, the surrounding shadows seem to ripple and distort, creating illusions that confound her opponent's perception. This distortion makes it challenging to anticipate the angle and timing of her attacks. Psychological Impact: The unpredictable nature of Umbral Displacement not only confuses opponents but also instills a sense of unease. Facing Shiso becomes an unsettling experience as she seems to exist simultaneously in multiple places within the shadows. Shiso's techniques embody the art of stealth and precision, making her a formidable adversary in any confrontation. Her seamless integration of shadows into her combat style grants her unparalleled mobility and unpredictability, making her a master of subterfuge on the battlefield. Motivation: Shiso's past has instilled in her a deep-seated desire for independence and a distrust of authority. Despite her estrangement from her brother, the memory of their shared Saiyan heritage lingers, influencing her moral compass. Shiso seeks to navigate the shadows, using her skills to dismantle criminal organizations and bring justice to those who exploit the vulnerable. Her journey is a quest for redemption, a way to redefine her Saiyan legacy and forge her own path in a universe filled with challenges and uncertainties.
