CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
But survive he did.
It was by no means easy, but the young Tunnip managed to claw his way through battle after battle, sometimes only by the skin of his teeth. And as he survived and grew older, he began to thrive. Stealth raids, pitched battles, assaults on Tuffle laboratories and military camps… He did it all, charging into combat at the command of those who held his leash with laughter spilling from his lips. His strength continued to grow, and before long he found himself sitting pretty as a mid-class Saiyan himself. In command of his own squad of soldiers, no less!
But not everything was sunshine and roses. As time continued to pass by and the war ground on, Tunnip, now a grizzled veteran, couldn't help but begin to tire from the seemingly endless conflict. As he grew older and older, the battle-lust that seemed to be present in every Saiyan started to fade. Younger Saiyans continued to replace the members of his squad that were killed, over and over again. They had claimed their slice of the planet, that much was true. But had it been worth it?
It didn't take much longer for Tunnip to pass leadership of his squad over, and request different assignments. Furious battles were replaced with boring patrols, and he made an effort to keep himself away from the worst of the fighting. No matter how much good news there was from the front, there was always plenty of bad to go along with it. The body and strength that had been honed in the fighting slowly began to weaken, and even as he began to enter his forties, he refused to settle down and have children to call his own.
And then, what seemed like a miracle to the aging warrior occurred. Peace with the Tuffles.
When he first heard the news, he could hardly believe it. But it was true. Actual, real peace between the two peoples of Planet Plant. No more fighting terrifying machines or watching the results of the latest horrific Tuffle weapon. No more young Saiyans being thrown into the grinder to die before they could reach their prime. It was as if a massive weight had been lifted from Tunnip's shoulders, and it didn't take long for the fire that had burned so brightly in his youth to grow strong once again. Feeling twenty years younger, he began to push against his limits and sharpen skills that had long grown dull from misuse, joking and laughing all the while.
But that would not be the end of the miracles, oh no.
The legendary Super Saiyan, once thought to be a myth from the history of his people, was real. It was impossible to find someone who hadn't heard about it ever since that furious battle at Hatchi City. And if that wasn't enough, rumours and hearsay from all over spoke about warriors across the galaxy achieving levels of power once thought impossible to reach. It was as if a fire had been lit beneath every last warrior, mercenary and martial artist's feet as they scrambled to grow stronger, and Tunnip wasn't any different.
After all, how could he let all these young, inexperienced runts have all the fun?

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
APPEARANCE:
HEIGHT: 6'8"
WEIGHT: 265 lbs
BACKGROUND: Tunnip was born 5 years into the initial Saiyan invasion of Planet Plant to two mid-class Saiyan parents. Unfortunately, he would never get to know them as both their lives were snatched away not long after he was born due to the brutality of the conflict with the Tuffles. With no family to call his own, Tunnip was given basic training as soon as he was old enough to leave the birthing capsule and thrown onto the front lines of the war as fodder alongside the other unlucky children. Few, if any, were expected to survive encounters with the Tuffles and their terrible weapons of war.HEIGHT: 6'8"

Light Offensive || Clobberin' Time || Starting TechniqueADDITIONAL NOTES: Requesting Oozaru as the starter transformation.

Power: 20%
KP Cost: 1 KP

Medium Offensive || Razor Storm || Starting Technique
After channeling his Ki into his hand, Tunnip repeatedly slashes the air in the direction of his enemy, launching a multitude of razor-sharp energy blades that can make even the hardiest of warriors bleed.
Power: 50%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: Bleed
Medium Offensive || Crash Cannon || Starting Technique
A fairly standard high-power energy wave, with one notable feature. Tunnip can not only prepare and fire off this technique using his hands, but he can also do it from his mouth just like the mighty Oozaru.
Power: 70%
KP Cost: 4 KP
Variants: N/A
Light Defensive || Close Shave || 10k Technique Slot
With a sudden burst of speed, Tunnip can move quickly from one location to another to avoid an incoming attack, leaving nothing but an afterimage behind that fades away soon after.
Power: 60%
KP Cost: 2 KP
Variants: Evasive
Light Defensive || Dismissive Backhand || 20k Technique Slot

Variants: Overflowing
Utility Technique || Flight || Starting Technique
Through the basic application of his Ki, Tunnip is capable of flying through the air at impressive speeds.
Utility Technique || Wrathful || Starting Technique
An old soldier, Tunnip learned long ago how to tap into the innate power of the Saiyans without transforming in order to take Tuffles, or any other foe, by surprise. This technique allows him to ascend into the Wrathful state instead of transforming into an Oozaru in situations that don't require a giant rampaging ape.
