Things not mentioned in this picture: Tadeo is 5'8"; He weighs 145 lbs; this is his usual outerwear and usual anything-wear; he does not have any scars or anything of the sort on his body; One last thing, yes, his hair is in fact that long
History: Tadeo was born to a family of Saiyans, who fled Planet Vegeta and came to Earth for solace. Their family wasn't too liked by the rest of the Saiyans, which is the cause for their flight. The rogue Saiyans stole a pod with a destination preset. That destination just so happened to be Earth. When the two Rogues got to Earth, they started their family there. Tadeo is the youngest of five children. The oldest was a girl named Azalea. The next was a boy named Krona. The next two were twins: a girl named Petra and a guy named Rudra. Rudra was the brother Tadeo looked up to the most. Of course, Tadeo was the came last. Tadeo's father ended up becoming wealthy through business. His mother, who had a strong Saiyan pride, stuck with fighting and taught her children how to fight. The older children, up to Rudra, she taught how to use Ki. Tadeo was the only one not taught how to use Ki by his parents. Unlike the rest of his family, Tadeo's tail was taken off at birth. His parents wanted Tadeo to fit in with the Human society, so they tried to have him live in a lie. The rest of the family were forced to hide their tails around Tadeo.
Tadeo got his green hair from his mother. Her vibrant green hair was passed down to only Tadeo. The other siblings had slight hues of green in their black hair. Soon after their father's business in technology boomed, the children became spoiled and corrupted, and so did Tadeo's father. The only three that weren't corrupt were Tadeo himself, Rudra, and Tadeo's mother. Tadeo's mother's name was turned to Luce after their arrival to Earth, and the father's was turned to Ombre. Of course, all the siblings loved Tadeo. However, the corrupt ones wanted to make Tadeo corrupt, and they all detested Rudra for his values, as well as Luce. This ultimately led to the family's downfall.
Tadeo's father, Ombre, was convinced into a making a deal that would give the family as much money as they wanted. He was to create Androids. After hearing of this deal, the 11 year old Rudra ran away from home, abandoning Tadeo and his mother. The immoral father then kidnapped Humans and forcibly turned them into Androids, giving them their own conscience. This worked well in his favor for a while, until the Androids turned on him and killed his family. Before they killed him, he made a promise to them that, if they let Tadeo go, he'd come back extremely powerful and give them a fight well worth the wait. They took his word for it and killed him afterwards, sparing Tadeo. Tadeo was orphaned at the age of 9, and was forced to travel from village to village to survive. Some of the villages welcomed him with open arms, others rejected him because they couldn't trust outsiders. Most recently, Tadeo moved into a village of Humans and Human Hybrids (humans with animal parts i forget the legit name). He stayed in that village since he was 11. When Tadeo turned 12, he met a strange boy in a dark robe, covered from head to toe. The boy claimed to know Tadeo and revealed to him that the both of them were not Human, but Saiyan. Confused, Tadeo was still compelled to know this boy more. The boy ended up taking Tadeo under his wing and further enhanced his martial arts skill, while putting him under serious training, conditioning, and meditation. Tadeo never found out that this boy was actually Rudra in disguise.
Tadeo is currently 16 years old. He'd been training with Rudra for years and hasn't found out who he really is yet. He also met a girl and her father in the village, turning into his first love. Her name is Kali, and obviously she is a Human. She doesn't have any animal parts, and she has no martial arts experience. Her feelings are mutual towards Tadeo, which her father finds slightly absurd, but still supports her. Unfortunately, they both don't know about each other's feelings, so their romance is very awkward (and kinda cliched). Tadeo continues to train under Rudra, with the intention of protecting his village, learning about his family's killers so he could exact his revenge eventually, and learning the true identity of his current mentor. Because of his family's death, his wild, outgoing side has been suppressed and replaced with an timid and self concerning personality. His dark sarcasm he kept as a result of his family's death.
Techniques: Angry Demon Assault - After focusing on his strength, Tadeo begins his assault with rapid jabs to the opponent's legs, chest, and arms. The jabs are followed by a series of kicks to the same areas, and the kicks are followed by a jumping roundhouse axe kick to the back of the opponent's head. If the opponent ends up on the ground, Tadeo ends the combo with a focused axe kick to the opponent's spine.
Counter Stance - Tadeo will enter a sturdy stance for self defense, focusing on attacks opponents launch at him and deflecting them. Countering best works for him in this stance.
Weakness: Tadeo's eyes are sensitive to bright lights; Tadeo's empathy can be used to get the better of him at times; Tadeo will think irrationally if the lives of his comrades are put on the line, his only goal being to save them
Pre-Post Solo: The dark sky gained a hint of orange in it. As soon as that orange appeared, the young Saiyan opened his eyes slowly. The vibrant green hair lay comfortably in the mattress of the bed. There was no pillow. The Saiyan kept his body under the blanket, so he wouldn't get cold. Tadeo slept shirtless, but he made sure to keep some pants on. He crossed his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling. He had a flashback to the night his family died. He remembered his mother's death, his siblings', and his father's. However, he couldn't remember the killers all that well. All he could remember was spiky hair and a cruel, sadistic laugh. Immediately after remembering this, the young Saiyan gasped and snapped out of it. He didn't want to remember something like that. He grew a bit angry with himself and turned over onto his side. A few minutes passed in silence. Then, the young Saiyan thought he should get up and go to a nearby waterfall for some training with his mentor. So, he got up, put on the only clothes he had, and set out in the semi-dark dawn. The valley wasn't too far away.
When Tadeo arrived, the mentor was sleeping. He wore his usual dark robe, covered from head to toe in it. There was a slit for the eyes, but Tadeo was never able to see those eyes because of how tiny the slit was. At this point, Tadeo didn't even think of bothering the mentor. He sat a few paces away from him and began meditation, as the mentor requested whenever he got there. This meditation lasted for ten minutes, when the mentor finally spoke up.
"Ah, you got here before I was able to wake up again."
Tadeo stayed silent, concentrating on his meditation, and also having his anti-social side act up. The mentor shook his head and stood up, kneeling next to Tadeo.
"It's time we stop meditating for now. Let's get to sparring."
Tadeo still didn't answer, but he moved his head a little to the side in concern.
"Yes, it's fine if you stop meditating for now. I'd rather start sparring with you, anyway."
After a few moments, Tadeo sighed and stood up, facing his mentor. The mentor took a fighting stance, as did Tadeo. After a few moments of waiting, the mentor asked Tadeo if he was ready. He responded with a nod.
"Begin!"
Tadeo dashed to his mentor, sending his fist towards his face immediately. The mentor blocked it and kept it at bay for a while, until Tadeo attempted to sweep him off his feet. The mentor let go of Tadeo's hand and flipped back, leaping off his other hand and landing on his feet. Tadeo dashed aggressively at his mentor again and began sending a flurry of punches and kicks his way. The mentor deflected and blocked them as they came.
"Your goal is to specifically pin me down on the ground for more than ten seconds in a full nelson. You will not stop until you do exactly that. Every time you fail to keep me down, I'll strike you in your baby maker. Do I make myself clear, Tadeo?"
Tadeo backflipped away a little bit and then dashed at his mentor, sending a kick to his torso. The mentor leapt over Tadeo and turned towards him. Tadeo got into a fighting stance and looked at his mentor with determination. His voice was filled with the pent up, youthful excitement he keeps hidden from a large amount of people.
"Yessir!"
It took about an hour for Tadeo to finally finish the training exercise. At this point, Tadeo has already been hit in the private parts three times, all for failing to contain his mentor in a full nelson. However, his determination, and his anger, didn't falter there. He kept going at his mentor until it changed to a forest hunt. As Tadeo walked through the trees, hearing the waterfall nearby, he searched around for his mentor. It wasn't all that easy with the high trees and dark areas, but the sun has started to fully peek out and make a red dawn. He would be visible if he looked hard enough. Tadeo kept looking around for something extremely dark. Looking to his left, he saw a dark figure, and it looked as if it was reeling its hand back. Tadeo knew what was going to happen. Quickly, Tadeo dodged the stone his mentor threw his way and charged towards him. Before he reached him, Tadeo sidestepped and sent a kick to his face. The mentor blocked it but the sheer force was enough to make him stagger, knocking him off balance. Next, Tadeo grabbed hold of his mentor's arm and flung him out of the trees. Looking up towards the trees again, the mentor couldn't see Tadeo. He was nowhere to be seen. With the waterfall in front of him and to his left, and the trees surrounding him, he wasn't able to pinpoint Tadeo's location. Suddenly, Tadeo leapt from inside the water from the waterfall and wrapped his legs around his mentor's head. Quickly, he threw him into the ground and put him into a full nelson, this time making sure not to let go. He counted in his head, all the way up to ten, and once that count passed, the mentor stopped struggling and Tadeo let go in rejoice. The mentor chuckled.
"I gotta hand it to you, Tadeo, you really improved. Your stealth is improving, I didn't even notice you snuck into the water when I turned my back on you. Not only that, but you're much more persistent and stronger than when we first started. You had me down three times in such a short amount of time, before this turned into a wild goose chase. You're truly a natural!"
Tadeo smiled at these compliments, and slowly that smile faded away into a regular face. This wasn't uncommon for Tadeo to do. The mentor shrugged and shoo'd at Tadeo.
"Go back to your village now, if you want. We'll continue training later on today. You deserve a little rest."
Tadeo made it back to the village, all sweaty from head to toe. He didn't want Kali to see him like this, so he went to a nearby pond to wash off all the sweat and wash his clothes. He ended up bringing his sleeping pants with him to put on while he was washing his clothes and setting them out to dry. He also brought some food with him to hold him off while he was waiting for his clothes to dry. Tadeo was patient with his clothes, or at least he normally was. You can't rush these kind of things, anyway. Once his clothes finished drying, Tadeo put them back on and went back to his little cabin. His cabin was made only for one person, and it wasn't too far from Kali and her father's larger cabin. Tadeo couldn't be a beggar when he first came to this village, so he accepted this cabin graciously. He proceeded to put his sleeping pants away, and walked out of his cabin again. He had nothing else to do at the moment, and he figured Kali was busy with her father at the moment, since she wasn't outside his cabin when he got there, so Tadeo went back to his mentor for training again. Upon seeing his mentor again, the next training session already began: counter attacking and defense.
Immediately upon seeing him, Tadeo's mentor threw a stone at him, which Tadeo dodged. Then, the mentor dashed up to Tadeo and sent a jab to his stomach, which he deflected and sidestepped from afterwards. Exhaling, Tadeo got into his defensive stance and focused on his mentors movements. The mentor spoke while dishing out multiple attacks to Tadeo.
"Next is defense. You're going to defend against my attacks for the next hour...no, the next two hours without faltering! You can defend however way you want, whether it's dodging, bobbing, blocking, or deflecting; however no counter attacks. If you counter, go on the offensive, or falter in your defense, you will be penalized by being thrown into the nearest hard object. If you do happen to be thrown, you better hope it's the ground. Do you understand?"
Tadeo blocked the last kick he sent his way, skidding back a little bit on his feet before reassuming his defensive position. He stayed silent as his mentor continued the assault, launching a few more jabs and punches.
"I said, do you understand?"
Dodging one of his punches, Tadeo weaved out of the way, assuming the defensive positions again.
"Yessir!"
"Good! Answer quicker next time!"
Tadeo stayed silent again, concentrating on his opponents movements.
Tadeo did well in the two hours of defense. He was thrown into a tree once for breaking the "no offense" rule. He maintained the defense for the two hours, but now he was fatigued from getting two exercises within the span of three hours. The mentor saw this and decided he'd end training for today there.
"Well, today was pretty intense, and I can't overwork you, but I know you're just gonna continue training on your own over at the village in your own way, so what's the point in telling you to relax? I think I'll finish training you early today. You can go back to your village for the rest of the day. At the very least, get some meditation in again."
Tadeo was a little upset his mentor was sending him home already, but he wouldn't argue with him. He was too shy to. Tadeo nodded and turned, waving a little bit, and running to the village again. When he got to the village, he rested in his cabin for a few hours, then came back out to train on his own again. He did water training, which consisted of him training with buckets of water as weights on his body, balancing the buckets in extreme situations, specifically climbing a tree or hanging off a branch, and practicing maneuvers in the water. After another hour of this, he returned to his cabin, yet again. By this time, it was around noon. Tadeo would still have to do his meditation training and try to catch up with Kali later. He laid down in his bed, staring at the ceiling.
Maybe I should try talking more...
