Character Name: Son Gohan
Series: Dragon Ball Z (animated series)
Timeline: Just before the start of the 25th World Martial Arts tournament.
Background:
Huge page is huge. Take my history with a grain of salt.
Gohan was born in May of 757 age, according to the wiki. His early life was full of ~love~ and ~affection~. Then, of course, his uncle attacked, and he was kidnapped; but he displayed a rage and power that hinted at something greater.
After Raditz was defeated and his father killed, Gohan was trained by Piccolo for a year. (Piccolo blew up the moon for Gohan. GJ green plant alien.) After this, Vegeta and Nappa attacked, and Gohan helped fight them off, getting his tail cut off during the fight because Vegeta brought his goddamn artificial moon and they didn't need two giant monkeys.
He then headed to Namek with his friends in the hopes that they could bring back the people killed by Vegeta and Nappa, but they ran into another * ahem * issue, that of Frieza. Basically a whole lot of shit went down, with Gohan getting his “secret power unlocked” (this will become a theme) and getting his ass beat up, and then beating up asses. Vegeta helps him and his friends. FRIEZA KILLS A LOT OF PEOPLE. Gohan is upset at this. Goku becomes a Super Saiyan. Eventually he manages to get himself, Bulma, and Piccolo off the planet after Frieza destroys it (with the help of the dragon) and they wish everyone back to life, but find out that Goku is still alive and making his way back very slowly.
During the time that Goku is off-world, Gohan saves the world from Garlic Jr and the Blackwater Mist! He kicks him into the Dead Zone, world is saved, we never see fit to mention it again.
A year after Goku defeated Frieza, Gohan and the others wait for his return. His return is preceded by Frieza. Frieza is killed by a 'mysterious youth', really Trunks from the future. After Trunks head's back to his own timeline, having given Goku an antidote for his inevitable heart disease, Gohan spends the next three years training with Goku and Piccolo for an ~UNKNOWN THREAT~.
That threat turns out to be androids. They appear to be owning their asses, until 17 and 18 get activated and Goku's heart disease starts acting up. To make the shit really hit the fan, a strange being called Cell starts killing a lot of people, including Piccolo. THIS MAKES GOHAN VERY ANGRAR.Vegeta is a douche and lets Cell become Perfect Cell by absorbing the androids, and everyone gets their asses owned again. AND THEN CELL SETS UP THE CELL GAMES.
Goku and Gohan end up going into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and training for a year; Gohan becomes a Super Saiyan during this time.
Ten days pass and there is a lot of filler episodes oh my fuck.
The Cell games start; Gohan ends up being the one who fights Cell for the longest amount of time, and there is a lot of back and forth and Android 16 gets destroyed and this PISSES GOHAN OFF to extreme levels (so much he gains a level and becomes Super Saiyan 2) but he gets super-cocky (though he does punch Cell so hard he pukes up Android 18). Cell tries to blow everyone up; Goku teleports him away, and Gohan is sad. THEN CELL COMES BACK and Gohan gets hurt saving Vegeta, but ultimately ends up destroying Cell for good. Thank god.
SEVEN YEARS OF PEACE ENSUE, and Gohan thrives even though Goku is dead. Look at Goten and Gohan be brotherly. D'aww.
Gohan is now a teenager. Gohan goes to public school. Gohan can't not help people, and ends up turning Super Saiyan to stop some crooks. He meets Videl, who is suspicious of him; Gohan ends up asking Bulma to create the Super Saiyaman outfit and persona. (Yes, Gohan is a fail!Batman). Videl discovers the identity, and in return for her silence he promises to teach her how to fly, and to enter the 25th World Martial Arts tournament.
He teaches Videl the basics of ki and ki manipulation, and also trains Goten as well, learning that he can become a Super Saiyan. This freaks him the hell out but also makes him proud.
ANYWAY he suggests to his friends that they join the tournament and they do, including his dead daddy! That's not freaky at all! They all head to the tournament.
And then he's on a boat.
Personality: Gohan is a kind, caring individual, much like his father, but does not like to fight, unlike his father. He prefers reading and studying to training, though when push comes to shove, Gohan will always fight to protect his friends and family. He holds great potential, but frequently chooses not to live up to it (a notable exception being when he trained to defeat Cell, and even then had to be pushed.) He frequently downplays or underestimates himself and his abilities. Gohan can be a cocky fighter, however, if he believes that he has the power to defeat his opponents easily. When angered, though, Gohan becomes quite an unforgiving fighter.
He also loves helping people, as if he sees someone in need or in trouble, he will come to their rescue (most apparent in his first few days of school, when he goes Super Saiyan to stop a few crimes, which results in the creation of his guardian persona, The Great Saiyaman.)
He is an incredible derp, basically, and also can be very awkward around people his own age, and girls oh god he doesn't even know.
Appearance: According to the wiki, Gohan is 5'9 and 155 pounds. He has short, black hair that stands straight up, with the exception of one lock that hands down in front, and black eyes. He is light-skinned, not as tan as his father was, and in incredibly freakin' good shape, even with his slacking training. He is taller but a bit thinner than the full-blooded Saiyans.
Spoken / written languages: Common (no moon language for you.)
Abilities: Like every main character in DBZ, Gohan is a mary sue of epic proportions in the power department. I will not regale you with how powerful he normally is; on the Elegante, he is limited to basic ki blasts, and while he could probably manage a Masenko or a Kamehameha, it'll wipe him out pretty fast. He can also fly, but that's going to use up ki, so he won't be able to sustain flight for longer than, oh god let's say fifteen minutes. (He's going to fall on his face and you're going to laugh.) He's still stupidly strong and fast, though that's tapered down as well. YOU CAN SEE HIM RUNNING AND IT WILL HURT TO PUNCH OUT WALLS NOW. Rest and food needed for ki restoration as always. He also hasn't been training for several years, so while he is still an excellent martial arts fighter, he is quite rusty.
Items: Just his Great Saiyaman outfit.
Third Person Sample:
Sometimes, Gohan mused, it was nice to take advantage of the library here in Satan City. While he did love his home, it was good to take a break from his mother and his brother, and sit here, as nondescript as any other kid studying for their math finals.
For a little bit, he could pretend to be normal.
As long as no one he knew from school came along, anyway. Gohan looked up from the study guide, glancing around. Videl, he knew, had something to do with her father today - part of the reason he was even studying here, or else she and him would have been training for a little bit at his house before he could study. He didn't recognize any of the other students, though....
As he glanced around, his eyes fell on a man wearing a hat, his head down. As he watched, the man bumped into a woman who was entering the library, apologizing and making his way out.
However, Gohan had seen him slip his hand into the woman's purse, taking out her wallet.
He bit the inside of his cheek, looking down at the study guide. He didn't need to go get that wallet - but the part of him that he'd come to think of as the Great Saiyaman said that since he'd seen it happen, he had a responsibility to get it back.
With a small smile - Gohan, of course, knew himself well - he got up, approaching the librarian.
“Excuse me,” he said, inclining his head when she looked at him. “I need to go to the bathroom. Could you please watch my books while I'm gone?”
“Sure,” she said after a moment, a smile gracing her slightly aged face.
“Thank you,” he said, bowing and meaning it, as he headed for the exit. Ducking into an alcove, he pressed the button on the watch that would garb him in the clothing of the Great Saiyaman.
The transformation was quick, and, catching sight of the man a little ways down the road, he took off after him.
“Excuse me, citizen! I believe you have something that isn't yours...”
First Person Sample: - - Excuse me! I believe there's been a mistake!
Whomever you may be, and however you managed to capture me, I do not regret to inform you that you won't be able to hold on to me long, criminals!
I am the Great Saiyaman, protector of Satan City! I am the one who stands up to fight for what is right! Protector of the innocent and the ones unable to protect themselves!
So once I find you, kidnappers, prepare to have your butts kicked!
Preferred Quarters: Near Goten, but not right next to him. (Boys need their space.)
