Raditz is a character from Dragon Ball Z and is a main character in AniCity. The eldest son of Bardock and Gine, he's one of the few remaining full-blooded Saiyan warriors left alive after his home world was destroyed. He originally came to Earth seeking out his little brother Kakarot only to be beaten by several of Earth's heroes & stuck there when his search came up empty-handed. From there, he would be cast aside from his fellow remaining Saiyans for his weakness and would surprisingly find a new home on the planet in AniCity, forming an allegiance with several would-be heroes and helping them fight their battles against the forces of evil.

## Personality

Raditz presents himself as extremely prideful, condescending, and arrogantly believes himself to be an equal to any other warrior in terms of status. Of course, that's all on the surface. In reality, Raditz is fully aware of what his fellow Saiyans truly think of him, even stating that he hates them for how they treated him like "lower class trash" for all of his life. He's also a bit of a coward (though he prefers to think of himself as cautious), as he will often underestimate weaker opponents and will not finish them and instead toy around. So, if the opponent gets the better of him, he cheats and resorts to sneaky, cowardly tactics to avoid further damage or (worse) death.

Ironically though, getting essentially banished to Earth was probably the best thing to happen to him. With his "friends" turning their backs on him, losing his space craft and not even a trace of his brother's existence, Raditz was left with nothing. But from that nothingness he rose up stronger than before. He found himself seeing life outside of the constant need for battle, coming across other beings that were treated as pathetic and weak, some that weren't even fighters, but didn't care as long as they could just keep doing what they've been doing. This attitude combined with the kindness some of them showed him, especially that of the young Jeanette, opened Raditz's eyes to what life truly has to offer outside of Vegeta's influence.

Thanks to the influence of his friends, the Saiyan Warrior has found a sense of peace, becoming far less jittery and paranoid than he was when he first arrived, and gaining a huge boost of bravery. He's come to accept that he's not the strongest warrior and there are plenty other beings stronger than him. But by this point, he doesn't care. If these other "low class" fighters are going to stand and fight, then so will he. And he's going to do it with the pride of all the Saiyans before him.

## Powers & Equipment

* Flight
* Super Strength
* Energy Blasts

Like all Saiyans, Raditz is able to fire blasts of energy right from his hands.

* Scouter

A Scouter is a wearable, all-purpose computer that all Saiyans use, mainly used to measure power levels of living beings and other sources of energy. They can also be used to gather information and communication with other communicae devices, even being able to reach other Scouters all the way out in space.

### Special Attacks

Originally, Raditz didn't have any special names for any of his attacks. When he arrived on Earth though, Jeanette gave him the idea to name his attacks after days of the week.

* Double Sunday

A double-handed attack that fires two energy waves from both hands.

* Dynamite Monday

A vicious combo of punches and kicks culminating in a roundhouse kick to the head.

* Shining Friday

Raditz raises his hand and charges purple and orange electricity. He then forms the electricity in a large, purplish-pink energy sphere and strikes the opponent with it at close range, inflicting a large amount of damage.

* Saturday Crush

Raditz holds his right hand high in the air and forms a pink energy sphere that he fires off at the opponent, inflicting a great amount of damage.

## Relationships

### Vegeta & Nappa

Even before his journey to Earth, Raditz *despised* Vegeta and Nappa. His so-called "Prince" and his bodyguard always taunted Raditz as far back as his childhood, always picking on him for being weaker than them. The only reason he put up with them was because he knew that if he stepped out of line, they would squash him on the spot.

### Jeanette

While he found her a little strange at first, Raditz soon grew fond of the meek Chipette, and she soon became his first true friend. As cliche as it may sound, she was the first person to see him not as a monster and is proud to call her his friend.

### Yusuke Urameshi

While he only saw him as another worm like any other alien he'd come across when he first arrived on Earth, Raditz found himself a kindred spirit in the young Urameshi, both through their love of fighting and being treated like dirt for most of their lives by their superiors.

### Star Saber

Raditz had heard stories of Star Saber, the famed "greatest swordsman in the universe", a great many a time during his time in space. But now to be in the pressence of him, and even having the honor of calling him his friend? That was probably one of the greatest honors he'd ever had.

### Jinmay

Raditz felt very... conflicted about Jinmay when the two's paths crossed. A machine able to disguise itself as a humanoid?! It was... unnatural, it was absurd. It was almost disgusting, to be honest.

## Notes

Raditz’s role in this series as the signature villain-turned-hero, let alone becoming a part of this story's main cast, is based off of his depiction in MasakoX’s “What if Raditz Turned Good” and Dragon Ball R&R series (right down to his main casual outfit being taken directly from said series), with influences from other Dragon Ball characters like Piccolo’s redemption arc, in particular his relationship with Gohan serving as a basis for his and Jeanette's dynamic (making them this series's own Badass and Child Duo). It's also partially influenced by the Episode of Bardock special, though one could make the argument that this kind of story fits Raditz's character a little better than it did his father, especially combined with the influence from MasakoX's series.

Funnily enough, Radtiz shares both Kuwabara's Japanese voice actor and Yusuke's English voice actor. This is part of what influenced the three forming a bash brother-type bond, as well as all three's love for fighting and senses of honor.

Since there's no way for him to learn how to sense power levels or Ki like many characters in the original Dragon Ball series, Raditz keeps his Scouter for the entirety of the story. It's even given a bit of a boost in its abilities, as here it can be to detect any kind of power source, be it magic, energy sources like Energon, etc.

In terms of power levels, when Raditz first arrives on Earth, he has a power level of 1500. When he first turns Super Saiyan, his power level goes up to somewhere between 17,000 to 21,000 (the same power level his brother reached when he fought Vegeta in the original series).
