Dragon Ball Xenoverse Character Profiles Round 1

Welcome back, my beautiful freaks, to the Assassin's Den!

Yeah, I'm doing this for my DBXV characters too. But come on, whenever I'm given a blank slate, I'm going do up a character profile, even if the profile doesn't matter beyond what goes on inside my own head.

Now, there's a few things I want clarify a few things; I prefer the Japanese names for the god characters, like "kaioshin" over "supreme kai", because it sounds right in my brain for some reason. As do the attacks like the Makankōsappō over the "Special Beam Cannon" (since it's more of a drill instead of an outright cannon) or the Kikoho over the "Tri-Beam", (since it's not a beam attack).  And even though I'm more of a fan of GT than Super, Super has answered certain questions about the universe that I didn't have, so I incorporated those things into my "head canon".

Also, I've got pictures of my characters so far, but they're low quality due to being taken from my phone from my tv.  I'll get the pictures of my current Frieza Race character if I get favorable comments about the ones I've got now.



Name: Peparia
Full name/Full Title: Lady Peparia of House Dakkon
Age: 50
Gender: Female
Species: Saiyan
Age they came from: 549
Home Planet: Sadala (Original homeworld of the Saiyans)
History: As one of the members of House Dakkon, it was her job to train other Saiyans in how to control the Oozaru form, but she was lax in her duty, preferring the perks of nobility instead of responsibility.  This changed on that fateful night of the full moon, when an Oozaru she was supposed to have trained killed her 4-year-old daughter in a rampage.  She subdued the Oozaru, but it was too late; her daughter was dead.  Filled with guilt over her inaction, rage at her foolishness, and her overwhelming grief over losing one of her children, she transformed into a Super Saiyan.  From this point, she rededicated her efforts at training Saiyans to control the Oozaru form so this would never happen again.

She continued these efforts until the cataclysm that destroyed Sadala came around, and aided in the evacuation of the Saiyans they could get onto starships, including her own son.  She watched the destruction of her people, content to know that the Saiyans would survive, when time froze, and she heard a voice offering her a way to survive. The voice was Shenron, the Eternal Dragon of the Dragon Balls, telling her that someone from a faraway land had called her, and to come forth.

Personality: Taciturn, aloof and arrogant to her belief that Saiyans make the best warriors due to their unique biology, she maintains a sense of nobility and duty to those around her.  That said, she cares deeply about the fate of her race, which is why she looks down on Vegeta for “being the product of the bastardization of her culture”, as well as being her descendant and not living up to the legacy of the ancients; not channeling their tendencies for war into something productive.  She only changes her opinion of him after the Buu saga, when he finally sees why Goku is better than him.  However, she praises Goku, whom she uses his birth name of Kakarot as a sign of respect for what he represents to her, for being a hero, fighting to test himself, not looking for a fight, but accepting one when it comes along, perfectly content to train forever, and protect those he loves.

Special: Super Saiyan 2.  The loss of her daughter due to her own foolishness caused her to transform into a Super Saiyan, and she trained herself to be able to transform into Super Saiyan 2 on her own. (This is represented by the Super Vegeta 2 transformation in game.)

Name Pun: As with all pureblood Saiyans, her name is based on vegetables; in her case, Pepper for her first name and the Daikon radish for her house.




Name: Alaka
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Species: Majin
Age they came from: 800
Home Planet: Earth
History: The people of Earth may have treated her race cordially, but Alaka has not forgotten what their progenitor had done in the past.  She had not forgotten the rampages and hibernation of Majin Buu across the galaxy until he absorbed the Grand Kaioshin, and his continued rampages under the direction of Bibidi and Babidi, Super Buu and again in his original form before finally being stopped entirely.  To Alaka, the Majin race had a LOT to make up for, so she trained herself to fight, use ki and her people’s innate magical ability to protect and heal those around her.  And when Shenron, the Eternal Dragon of the Dragon Balls, telling her that someone from a faraway land had called her, and to come forth, she happily accepted the offer, knowing that she could do more to help wherever she was going instead of her small town on Earth.

Personality: Taciturn yet compassionate, Alaka always found words to be cheap and that only actions truly mattered.  And her actions are those are of someone who wants to make the universe a better place; healing those who are sick or injured, creating food for those who are hungry, and acting as a bulwark between those who are weak and those who are evil. However, she does have a jovial side, playing pranks on Trunks and doing everything she can to make him laugh.

Special: Unlocked Potential.  Due to the ritual performed on her by the Elder Kaoishin, she is able to draw on a portion of the power of the original Mr. Buu, before it being divided into the Majin race.  (Alaka was my first character, so she’s the only one to make it to 93.  I don’t use the ability, but I like the idea of having her potential unlocked anyway due to the effort it took to get it!)

Name Pun: Bibidi. Babidi. Buu.  Sounds like magic words, don’t they? As such, Alaka’s name comes from the magic word “Alakazam.”





Name: Rayne
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Age they came from: 818
Home Planet: Earth
History: Trained in the style of the Turtle School by her grandfather Krillin from a young age, Rayne knew that she was outclassed by the alien fighters she grew up around.  And she refuses to undergo the extensive cybernetics that her grandmother went through in order to get a power boost.  To make up for these power based shortcomings, she researched different ways to manipulate ki; to poison, burn or freeze superior foes to give her a more even playing field.  And when Shenron, the Eternal Dragon of the Dragon Balls, told her that someone from a faraway land had called her, and to come forth, she happily accepted the offer, eager to see if her techniques could be integrated into Turtle School teachings for humans.

Personality: Outwardly, she appears to take nothing seriously, always having a joke or a quip or a bit of sarcasm to offer at any moment to brighten the mood or demoralize an opponent.  Truthfully, this is a combination of battlefield calculation and outright fear of her situation; she knows she has to unbalance her foes, but she’s terrified of the power these aliens put out.  However, she will not give up, and she’ll fight with everything she has and more to protect the flow of time.

Special: Kaioken and the Spirit Bomb. As part of her efforts, she received the honor of traveling Snake Way to train under King Kai while still alive, and mastered his techniques.

Name Pun: Rain. As in “water that falls form the sky.”  While she does not conform to the familial “named after chestnuts” thing, I figure her father has a weather type name, and the name came from there.






Like I said, pretty low quality, but you get the basic gist of the color scheme and look of the characters.

I'm still hammering out the personality of my Frieza Race guy, but I won't be making a Namekian, due to me not liking the fighting animations.  I don't know why, but I just don't.  

Anyway, let me know if you want to see more, but for now, stay beautiful freaks!
