Well since I've been here for long enough, reckon I'll start the master thread back up. With more text available this should be a little better.

Starting with Chayot just like before!

#oc #dboc #ocs #dragonball
Chayot's Sheet. Done by Hydito, and "brief" overview. Chayot is a Saiyan born in the sixth universe, and one of my three main protagonists for my Dragonball story content. Born as a temporal anomaly, not meant to exist in his home timeline, and a member of the Citrine Lineage. A group of mutant Saiyans connected to the Super Saiyan God ritual. He was taken in by the Time Patrol to be studied at the tender age of 3 years old, raised by Chronoa's intended successor as her own. being raised in Conton City lead directly to a deep seeded ambition for the spotlight, an adoration for the Z fighters and a desire to be a hero like he viewed them as. Taking up martial arts and intending to become the leader of a Time Patrol Recon Squad, wrenches were thrown into this plan constantly as his childhood friends and intended squadmates drifted apart from him due to conflict stemming from his single-minded obsession with this cause. As a result of constant infighting between him and one of these childhood friends, who had become a more snobbish elite warrior. He was eventually sent off begrudgingly to perform recon alone, and offered the position he longed for as long as he could enscript allies. This leads to T70, the main setting of things thus far and his fateful meeting with the other two main characters: Chayot's sister, Ruta, and her accomplice, Treble. Several arcs and over 4 years' worth of adventuring and fighting, Chayot grapples now with discovering the meaning to his own existence, the truth of his idols, and whether or not he can fill the lofty shoes his childhood ambitions set out for him. Smaller details outside of the overview: -Chayot is voiced by Junya Enoki in Japanese and Max Mittelman in English currently as VA claims. -Huge fan of spicy foods, Tonkotsu Ramen and chicken wings especially. -Born on June 1st. -Is skilled with the piano -Collected superhero comics and merch until he was about 15. Including Clean God and Great Saiyaman. Chayot sparring with Ruta, done by a friend on Discord with the tag Badumtss. He doesn't have a BSky or Twitter to my knowledge, but he's still goated. Combat related profile. Practicing Martial Arts and Ki Control from about 6 years old, alongside the potent potential of a Saiyan? Chayot is of course, rather strong. Proficient in several fighting styles, including the Turtle School's signature, Monkey Style Kung Fu, and taking traits of Capoeria into practice. Heavily inspired by Goku, Yamcha, and a slew of Earth and Conton City's martial artists. His most notable accolades are having created his own variant of the Dragon Fist, mastery of converting his Ki into lightning, and being one of the few full blood Saiyans in the setting capable of manipulating magic. This comes in the form of one of his signature techniques, the Lifeblood Fist or Seimei Sei-Ken. A powerful application of life magic that can overflow the victim's senses, skewing their reactions, amplifying any and all sensations, and when applied rigorously enough is capable of producing out of body experiences, hallucinations, or making the victim's heart explode in their chest outright. A technique taught to him by his first true sensei, and he is currently the last known living user of it. Taking inspiration from the North Kai's signature technique, he hatched the idea of turning this golden fist onto himself to amplify his own reactions beyond their peak, a risky gambit but one that's aided him in battle a few times to this point. As a Saiyan of course, he's capable of Super Saiyan transformations as well. Up to Super Saiyan 3, but commonly relies on a further mastered variant of Super Saiyan 2 instead, as its less straining and more supportive of his approach to fighting. ...However he has another ace up his sleeve. Citrine Essence Chayot. Part of a larger artpiece I got done by Amartbee. Detailing Citrine. A transformation that embodies the stone it's named after, alongside the sun itself. The Super Saiyan God ritual was something that DID happen as a pivotal event in the history of the Saiyans of both universes in my setting, the fate of the warrior race hinging entirely upon the ritual's outcome. Intervention from outside sources, including the Planet's Kami, which yearned for peace and an end to the constant bloodshed, combined with the exposure of the participants to the incredible power of the Super Saiyan God lead to all 5 of the noble warriors who took part in the ritual to hold host to mutations. Citrine is one of two that was not simply lost to history, showing up occasionally in records and folklore as a transformation which embodies the light of the sun, granting tremendous power to the user, but with dawn. . . dusk also comes. This lineage is feared by many of those who are knowledgeable of it, due to the fact that every time it has manifested in historical records. Disasters soon followed, rumored to be the result of the user's mind and soul itself deteriorating into little more than a feral husk. This transformation along with what is known as "Super Saiyan Berserk" (Kale's transformation in Dragon Ball Super) are often confused in U6 Saiyan myth as the fabled "Demon Saiyan" which shows up once every thousand years. The truth about this form however is that it allows the user to absorb the impurities of the world around them and an accelerated adaptation more similar to imprinting. This trait is imperfect however and leads to Citrine corrupting the user's mind and body. This exact thing has happened to Chayot before. Something is missing to this transformation, and nobody truly knows yet what would happen if that missing piece was added to the puzzle.

Had my reserved theater visit today for Infinity Castle.

I'll be honest if I was still an anime only for Demon Slayer that shit would've had me screaming. Ufotable's staff did a good job.

I'm not into this series that much anymore, planned this just to get out TBH, but it was fun!

Well, I said I had more to show. I wasn't lying!

Here's Safume's updated character sheet with renditions of his install states, final intended form, and a new outfit. Extra information is in the alt text! Will be adding into the master thread soon too!

#dboc #oc #db
Safume's base form rendition, done by KorallDIZ on Twitter. Personality and General Info- Vindictive, cruel, calculating and petty to a fault. Safume possesses luxurious tastes and even loftier ambitions to match. One of my main villains for the U6 Sagas and by the time he reaches his peak? The strongest among them all. One of the many moving cogs in the sixth universe's criminal underground and one of the primary sources of trafficking endangered species and artifacts across the cosmos, all of this is hidden with the exterior of a resort world by the name of Ajata, held in the far-off corners of the U6 Galactic Quadrants. Safume is a Solarian: a race of bird-like humanoids from Planet Galazio, a usually peaceful people who value knowledge, trade, and a religion tied to the stars. He hated them for their weakness and exiled himself from the planet, believing their way of life was a waste of potential that he lusted to seek after with his own hands. His final goal is something few of his subordinates are aware of, but it is to defeat the Destroyer God Champa through whatever means he deems necessary. Zeus Plumage Safume. Same artist. This power-up is induced through a permanent change in physiology caused by eating what are colloquially called volt candies, a confectionary from a planet bogged down by cosmic scale thunderstorms for most of the year. Safume's business pipeline just so happened to bring him some allies from there. The result of this install/powerup is voltage coursing through the user's body, hair or feathers becoming more jagged and shimmering gold with the raw amount of electricity on display, even being seen channeled through the fabric of his clothing. This state is geared towards quick-draw styled attacks, devastating strength, blistering speed, but the main flaw in it for him is that his movements appear to be straight forward and lacking somewhat in flexibility. A fighter who both possesses wit and enough speed to react to begin with, could possibly exploit this. Helios Plumage Safume- Currently the method of obtaining this state is unknown, Safume himself does not talk about it much. Helios Plumage is a fire-based state which makes his body burn brightly as the deepest most superheated depths of a volcano: direct contact becomes difficult, which compensates for the physiology of Solarians being weaker against blunt force compared to other species. Any Ki attacks or contact with his scattered feathers can cause nerve destroying burns that are also capable of inducing paralysis into the opponent, albeit brief. Uoroboros Safume- The only true transformation among these three augmented states-- this form spawned from Safume reaching an epiphany over the course of the arc: a sickening twist of irony befalling his enemies. A battle against the Sun God, a duel with Treble who called upon the power of the world to fuel her, his people who value the stars more than strength, and finally the burning sun known as Chayot: a freak among the Saiyans whom Safume already detested from the offset. His answer to all of them? To take Champa's throne? To blacken the stars themselves and force them to fuel his splendor, without care for synergy with the universe around him. The sheer power contained within this form distorts space and can hardly be contained within Safume's own body as it appears to be cracking at the seams. Uoroboros state Safume holds some control over stellar concepts and phenomenon in the form of gamma ray bursts, supernovas, plasma itself, and even gravity to some extent. A truly fearsome opponent, and seemingly possessing only one weakness: his lack of finesse with the overwhelming might now at his fingertips.

There are people half, or even less competent compared to you doing those same jobs scooting along somehow and with the current market?

If you think you can at least DO the job and are qualified, I'd say go for it.
