Character: Cyborg 17 (Future)
Series: Dragonball Z
Age: Unknown; appears to be in his late teens.
Canon: For this recipe, start with the legend called "Journey to the West." Add several cups of food puns, a dozen aliens, a squeeze of space travel, and two or three VERY large power levels. Sprinkle generously with jokes about balls, and bake for ten years. The result? Dragonball Z, the second half of one of the most well-known shonen series ever. Of course, everything is better with alternate apocalyptic future timelines, and DBZ is no exception. This is where Cyborg 17 comes in.
In a world where most of the serious villains are either aliens or freaks of magic/science, 17 is surprisingly "normal." He's your stereotypical rebellious teenage boy: he wears ripped jeans and Converse, loves fast cars, and hates authority of any kind. Looks can be deceiving, however: he's murdered a good portion of the world's population with his bare hands. Cyborg 17 has exactly one goal in life, and that is to have as much fun as he can. If he can't find fun in a situation, he will make his own, often to the detriment of others. Case in point: his favorite pastime is driving around hot sports cars and motorcycles... while running over as many people as possible, and laughing like a lunatic as they scream. Humans are only good for toys, as far as 17 is concerned, and if he breaks them...? Well, he can always go find more. Egotistical and cruel, the only thing he doesn't see as being put on Earth for his personal amusement (most of the time, anyway) is his twin sister, 18.

Well, well, well. What do we have here? I knew there had to be something interesting in this vicinity -- after all, lakes don't glow without a reason -- but I definitely wasn't expecting to find a nest of humans. A pretty big one, from the looks of it... and is that a swimming pool? The little rascals have clearly gotten too cocky in our absence. Serves me right for thinking that we had cleaned out the pests on our last run through here; I should know better by now. Of course, this isn't entirely a bad thing- after all, this just means I get to have the pleasure of finishing the job.
It's rather flattering, though; knowing that they'd prefer to die a slow death by radiation poisoning and disease rather than face us. Kind of stupid of them, too, but that's not surprising. I wouldn't expect much more from mere humans... but it looks like a least a few are smart enough to regret that choice of action, judging by the ragtag group shambling toward me. Not that I blame 'em, after seeing the state they're in. I've seen things that have been dead for months that look better than that. Well, it's a good thing for them that I'm feeling generous today; I'll do the right thing and put the pitiful creatures out of their misery.
...Huh. Last time I checked, humans stopped moving after I killed them. Well, yeah, some of 'em would twitch a little or something, but they didn't get back up; people die if they are killed, after all. This is interesting! I wonder how many blows it'll take to bring one down... oh, there it went. Certainly not as good as I was hoping for, and the lack of screaming or begging kind of took all the fun out of it. If I'm going to put the effort into actually toying with it, I'd hope it'd have the sense to at least try to take advantage of that, but the stupid thing didn't even try to escape! What a waste of my time.
If I can't amuse myself breaking the humans here, then I might as well have fun blowing everything up. Explosions never get old, and there's something satisfying in taking down buildings with one good shot- especially if you get to watch it crush things on the way down. The best part is that if I aim right, I might even be able to chase the humans right into the lake! I've always wondered what massive radiation did to the human body... looks like this might be my chance to find out.
By the time I'm done with this place, it'll look like it belongs in another dimension.
