Character: Vegeta
Series: Dragon Ball Z
Age: Approximated to be a few years older than Goku.
Job: Child Abuse Counselor
Canon: Ah, Dragon Ball Z: the only thing in existence with longer, more detailed anything than Lord of the Rings. That said, DBZ follows the adventures of a now-adult Goku as he continues to fight evil! He meets many a foe along the way, and if he doesn't end up killing them, they inevitably end up joining him in later fights. Vegeta is one of these foes--a Saiyan who can transform into a very powerful, giant ape when the moon is full. When Goku and friends find out that Vegeta will be arriving on planet Earth to ransack it and make it available for sale, they go through a ~*~special training montage~*~ to prepare for his arrival! It sadly doesn't do too much good, because Vegeta, along with the help of his sidekick Nappa, pretty much wipes the floor with everyone. But, through the magic of shounen storytelling, Goku snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, and allows Vegeta to fly home with his tail between his legs... though not literally, because it was cut off in the fight. Oops! True to the power of amazing shounen stories, Vegeta returns later under the assumption of antagonizing and threatening Goku and friends further, but as he spends more time around them, he becomes ever so slightly less inclined to cause grievous bodily harm to the gang. (With the exception of Goku/Kakarot, that is.)
Alas, this does not mean Vegeta is a nice person. He is, in fact, a cocky, raging asshole; as he is the Prince of all Saiyans, he expects everyone to submit to his will and assumes he will always come out to be the strongest Saiyan warrior because of his royal blood. Vegeta even killed Nappa when he was unable to defeat Goku because he didn't deem such a pathetic fighter to be worthy of his presence. These fantastic social skills morph very slightly later on in the story as he demonstrates his incredible parenting skills: Vegeta bribes his son with an hour-long trip to the park if he can land one punch on his father's face. On a related note, he is not above knocking small children unconscious. A classy Prince, indeed! Some day, Vegeta may be able to have a shred of normal, humanesque ethics... some day. For now, let's wait and see what he does in the newest special where he gains a baby brother.
As a note, Vegeta is being taken from the point where he's training for the World Martial Arts Tournament.
Sample Post:
This is absolutely preposterous. Why would I need to be sent here for child abuse counseling? I hardly believe that training my son to fight and become the strongest fighter--after me--counts as child abuse. The boy has Saiyan genes in him--what doesn't kill him makes him stronger, as you weaklings say so often! It doesn't matter if he snaps a bone or tears his flesh. Whenever a Saiyan is injured, he heals the wound above and beyond its original condition! I know it's a hard concept for your puny minds to grasp, but I assure you, such injuries are practically gifts I'm giving him that allow him to increase his power!
--Why, you insignificant speck! For your information, I believe I am raising this boy to be the best he can be. Believe what you will, but I see no reason for me to be here any longer if you're simply going to mock me and my family. You've wasted enough of my time already! Do you realize how much training I could've completed instead of sitting here listening to you blather on and on about how I'm treating my son? Kakarot is surely progressing in his training by leaps and bounds, and I cannot afford to fall behind! I should blast you to smithereens right here for giving him that advantage! But on second thought, I doubt you're worth the effort it would take for me to point my finger and shoot. Oh, don't feel too bad--only a select few in the entire universe are worthy of an actual attempt from me! I'll be generous today and spare your pitiful life--for now. Now get out of my sight before I change my mind!
What? You think this is funny?! How dare you laugh at me, the Prince of all Saiyans! You should be begging at my feet for mercy and praying that I don't blast this miserable dump of a makeshift town to dust! --Blasted monkey, keep your paws to yourself! Where did you even come from?! You should know to respect your great Saiyan prince! But wait, you look familiar--like a... de-evolved Saiyan?! How... how can this be?! What kind of twisted technology is being used here that can keep a Saiyan in Great Ape form and yet keep his size and his power to a minimum?
...No, I am not in need of a product to increase my size and/or stamina.
