GENERAL INFORMATION
NAME: Cress Spinespear
AGE: Forty-Seven
GENDER: Female
SPECIES: Bio-Android || Perpetual Regeneration, Saiyan Pride, Turtle School Secrets
GENERAL TRAITS: Danger Zone, Minimalist, Be Prepared
STARTING PLANET: Plant
HOME REGION: None
CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS
BACKGROUND: Cress was a model Saiyan for the first twenty years of her life: fiercely loyal to the cause, eager for battle, merciless, and arranging a marriage for compatibility and politics over love.
She was distant to most of her family - especially disdainful of Callion and his 'low life Tuffle tactics' as she called them. Most of her time was spent leading troops into skirmishes, executing tactical strikes, or playing rear guard in Vegetan territory. During deployments she ended up courting Endiver, a Major in the army and powerful Saiyan in his own right. At the ripe age of twenty three she had her first child with him: Scallio.
Shortly after disaster struck as Cress and her squad were hit with a Destron bomb, wiping out her team and leaving her with crippling internal injuries and breathing problems. Faced with forced retirement and to become a housewife, Cress opted to accept an offer of experimental Destron treatment at the behest of Callion.
She wouldn't see the outside world for the next two decades. The Saiyans worked with turncoat Tuffle collaborators - experimenting on her and other Destron afflicted Saiyans to create a stronger Saiyan immune to the gas' effects. Cress' endured isolation, torture, and irreversible bodily modification before eventually ripping free one day; having grown strong enough to kill her captors and wipe out all traces of their research she could find.
Yet as a parting gift they left Cress with a triggered failsafe - soluble nanobots tied to her blood production that would slowly but surely kill the rogue test subject after two years. With her husband and son missing, a well of anger from years of abuse, and a biological ticking clock... Cress seeks to pay back the world in kind for what it has done to her.

STARTING LOADOUT: 14,000 XP for Blood Ruby, Armor Lining, Battle Armor || 50,000 XP -> PL || Saving 14,000 XP
Spending 10,500 Zeni on a Charged Blood Ruby & 24,000 Zeni on a Senzu Bean || 34,500 Zeni total
FORMS -
[STARTER] NEGATIVE ENERGY - x3 | Experiments on drawing energy from negative thoughts, emotions, and energies permeating the environment were successful, though not to the extent it was hoped. Cress can tap into her own hatred, pain, and loss to increase her power.
[50,000] AWAKENED IKARI - x6 | What once would've been a revolutionary upgrade to the Saiyan's Wrathful form is now an antiquated relic in the face of Super Saiyan. The same steps to achieve Wrathful are followed, but the form is allowed to soak in negative energy to increase its' power.
[100,000] PSEUDO SUPER SAIYAN - x16 | A corrupted form that falls short of the legend; Cress gains a volatile orange aura, spiky hair, and blank pupils.
[200,000] DARK PSEUDO SUPER SAIYAN - x28 | Cress infuses the Pseudo Super Saiyan form with wrathful, negative energy. This intensifies the black sparks and outward glow, as well as giving her a pair of golden eyes.
[300,000] WRATHFUL SUPER SAIYAN PRIME - x39 | The golden hair of a Super Saiyan but blank eyes and a volatile, orange-black aura.
[350,000] BERSERKER SUPER SAIYAN - x46 | Retaining her bright golden eyes, the corrupted aura of her previous forms melts away. Her hair and aura are tinted a strange yellow-greenish shade, and Cress appears to be easily agitated in this form.
