## Personal Status

### Relatives

Retsu Urakki (Best Friend)Obscure (Friend)

Roberto the Sheep (Pet)

Akichi Kamino (Friend)

Shojan Nakamoto (Friend)

Matthew (Neighboor)

## Appearance

He is a man with a friendly look on his face, with a brown half-spiky hair and green eyes with black iris in the middle.

He uses a personalized Dogi (similar of a Keikogi in the Dragon Ball Z universe), mainly of the colors sea green and red, with side colors like dark green and white, as well as a different sea green shirt inside of it.

## Personality

Generally, Soku acts with confidence and is able to make friends real fast (even after hating one specific person for 5 minutes), nevertheless, he's extremely rancorous, always searching revenge for every bad thing that someone does or did to him, unless it makes an effort to apologize to Soku. If he creates a strong friendship bond with someone, he'll help it to the point that he would kill people (only if it has a critical reason)

He's chaotic and likes to prank other people to get their attention, to the point that he becomes irritating for everyone (except for Retsu, which doesn't mind at all) because he feels happy being considerated on a group of people.

Soku its mostly lazy to do certain acts when he feels relaxed, forcing his friends or close people to do it for him. His laziness comes from the fact that he thinks that he's strong enough to just get whatever he wants without working and getting money for it, being shown when he stole an entire bank and gifted it to Matthew as gratitude for receiving his pet Roberto The Sheep.

Soku suffers anxiety attacks when he finds Retsu seriously injured due to a trauma that he had for watching him almost die in a battle, provoking Soku to act more seriously and to not pull his attacks.

His personality is similar to a kid even at his age, because he never got to fully enjoy being a dumb and funny person in his childhood.

## Background

*He was born in planet **Earth*****,** abandoned by his parents and trained in his childhood by a man with short hair and a grey gi he identified as a master, with his brother, whose names he forgot when he grew up. Soku was accompanied by a kid with orange hair named **Kazuto**, and another with black hair, the minor of them three, called **Blakki.**

During one of their training, a mysterious monster appeared, known as the nemesis of the master of Soku, called **Xliok**. Both of them fighted, while his brother took the trio out of the dangerous place during the battle, leaving them in a town and knocking them down to avoid them following and join the battle. The brother came back to help in the fight, and when Soku, Kazuto and Blakki woke up and tried to search them, there was no more trace of them.

Soku and his "brothers" learnt how to live in a town and worked as farmers, as well as getting basic education in school, leaving the place at the age of 12 and starting a new life in the nature and training their powers, controlling them after many times destroying things (like mountains). After 3 years they three met and befriended a lot of people that had similar strength and energy as them, as well defeated different kind of monsters sent by Xliok. During the last battle of the group together against the monster **Xliok**, it gave a mortal punch with a dark aura to Soku, transferring a specie of Demon inside his head, connecting it with his soul. *Blakki and Kazuto managed to finally kill the monster*, avenging his master, nevertheless Soku suffered from his head, getting sick a plenty of times and controlled by **another entity.**

The entity, **the Demon called Obscure** is the creation of a lot of dark spiritualists, only used for missions of killing the mind and controling the body of different people with his **Dark Energy**. After years trying to get control over Soku, he finally lost "the battle" against his spirit, accepting each other and becoming allies, gaining Soku a new form called "**Obscure Mode**".

At the age of 18, *Soku met Retsu* during a Martial Art Championship both as spectators, and shared their knowledge about the Tournament, rapidly becoming friends after discovering they have a lot in common. Soku presented Retsu to his group of friends, knowing later that he has special strength like Soku, and that he owns the ***Fire God Power***.

After Soku turned 22, his group of friends disbanded in search of their own ways of their life, leaving him with Retsu in search of adventures and just be chill with his best friend, *since he had no more goals in mind for his life.*

Since his 28, he only had 4 friends. Those are:

* **Retsu Urakki:** **The Fire God** during his life, a chill person and best friends of Soku since he had 18. *Battled with him to death two times during the hunt of the Fire God Power*. They both met in a tournament.
* **Obscure**: A demon that almost destroyed Soku's life, now used thanks for the new power source called **Dark Energy**. Soku used to be scared of the Demon Obscure, but he got to befriend with him, and after years of using it's energy, now it is almost gone of his body, *being unable to communicate with him anymore*, just using his Dark Energy *until he vanishes from his spirit*.
* **Roberto The Sheep:** Brought by Matthew mainly to be eaten, Soku took care of him as a pet since he always wanted a sheep, and now it's part of the family with Soku and Retsu, living in the same house and playing with them anytime. It's a very loyal pet that is capable to attack anyone that dares to hurt Soku.
* **Matthew:** A human old man farmer that lives in the mountains, which *Soku and Retsu* *met after months of their second fight*. Matthew has no powers and depends on his weapons, only talking and meeting with him in some casual situations. *Soku's friendship with him changed after Retsu's death*, both being like a father and son.
* **Shojan Nakamoto:** Used to be an enemy, a Hunter from the **F.G.A (Fire God Association)** manipulated since he was a child, *with the mission of killing Retsu* *for the Fire God Power*. He had a battle against Soku and, after being defeated, Soku, Retsu and Shojan had a talk, getting into his senses and saving him from the association, helped to start a new life. *He acts like a little brother with Soku*.
* **Akichi Kamino:**

*Soku has no specific Fighting Style* due to his lack of training and disinterest, so he battles with aggresive, violent and fast random movements and attacks, not focused in defense at all. In comparation of other characters, **he could be easily defeated if he got in one vs one without powers**, making him need as supports the background, different strategies and aim his attacks to the weak points of the body, to win a battle.

## Synopsis

### **Soku vs Retsu's Arc**

During a walk, all the TV's in every place of the world were interrupted by a strange signal, appearing **one strange man** with clothes that covered his identity, notifying the existence of people that helds the now known **God Powers**. That person explained how it works and how powerful they are, giving the notice that they confirmed the name and exact position of the **Fire God Power****.** Retsu Urakki was shown on TV as a picture while the stranger said that the only way to get the God Power, **is killing the holder of it**. Soku, after watching all of this was altered and he flew to the mountain where he lived in a house with Retsu, telling him all the situation and getting ready to defend his best friend from the danger of everyone in the world against them. It happened days, and the people created various groups of hunters in order to kill Retsu and obtain his own power like the **F.G.A (Fire God Association)**, slowly increasing the interest of Retsu, noticing how many people were coming with weapons, forcing Soku to fight back against them all.

After months of the notice, there were appearing other types of persons stronger than the average human, able to give troubles to both of them. In a fight, *Soku was injured and defeated, being forced to look how everyone were cornering his best friend*, and in a critical moment, they got to give him a **mortal attack in Retsu's ribs**, unleashing the anger of Soku and finally killing their enemies with no doubt, slowly losing his mind in the process, to the point he was just attacking and destroying more than needed a skull, spilling bloods in his hands and his head. At this point, Soku started to get a toxic personality, not letting Retsu go out by his own to buy or search things, avoid him getting contact with anyone, and even isolating him from society in order to protect him.

Soku never noticed how this situation was getting him worse everytime to the point that he recommended killing everyone in the Earth, making Retsu snap too going against his idea, provoking a discussion and the **first fight of Soku and Retsu**, where he wanted to protect him, but due to the heat of the fight, he went with full intentions of killing him.

**Soku won the battle by default**, waking up in the middle of the night after an intense explosion of their beam clash with full power, leaving Retsu unconscious alone, having mixed feelings from what happened, going to live alone in the woods extremely far away from his best friend. Not being able to understand or know what he was doing and what he had to do, while the feeling of abandonment and loneliness started to affect him, he entered in a depression, slowly losing strength and not caring about anything else.

Four years later, Soku felt better and left his toxic personality since his first fight against Retsu, and met him again by pure casuality, fighting against 3 of the Hunters from the **F.G.A**. He wrote a letter with the intentions of talking again with his best friend in a different place, to finally end the discussion they had before and get an answer about what to do with their enemies. He left the letter to Retsu (which he was unconscious after winning the battle due to the injuries he had by his enemies), grabbed, and placed him in a safer place where they couldn't find him. After two weeks, they both finally encountered again in a Pink Biome, just where Soku wanted to be. He still had a bit of rancor with Retsu for not accepting "his way to save him" trying to talk with Retsu to decide what he chooses to do, and after getting his answer (going against his idea), he then warnered Retsu to start the first attack, *indicating that he will fight again with him*, starting then **the second battle of Soku and Retsu**.

## Abilities

Soku's abilities are separated by different categories.

### **Natural Energy**

Being a Saiyan, Soku can control his Ki naturally, being able to do the next moves:

* **Teleport**: Teleports his body from one place to another. Can't go further than 2 miles. *Can spam it.*
* **Energy**: He can shoot Beams and Ki balls, as well as focusing and increasing the power of them to cause high damage or bigger explosions.
* **Clone**: Soku creates a copy of himself and can spawn it in a radio of 30m. It can live for 30 seconds max and can dissapear for multiples hit. He can spawn only 5 Sokus max.
* **Manipulation and Creation with Energy**: He's capable to change the form of his energy in a way to create weapons (like a Sword, Bow, Spear, Gloves, etc), which deals more damage than the usual ki attacks, and has an incredible manipulation of his own energy and spirit, being able to use it in different ways and create new movements that requires ki. *Nevertheless, Soku's creativity and laziness makes him not to try to create new moves.*
* **Absorb**: (Only works with Ki movements) It's a special technique that absorbs different ki attacks, stacking until it hits the maxium amount, allowing Soku to use it and obtain an explosive power boost for short seconds. When the amount gets 75% or more and Soku uses it, he automatically goes to Super Form to be able to mantain the boost. *Soku uses it in case of emergency.*

### **Dark Powers**

* *In the primal time of demon and angels, this energy was used in a 500 year war, as Dark Powers is the complete contrast to Light Powers. Both powers beyond that point were spread amongst the universe to prepare for the next 500 year war with Dark Powers in most instances becoming part of Periculo as they are revenants. Because of this new energy source, Periculo has since then become an all-mighty race to battle any modern Light users.*

Being Soku available to use them thanks to Obscure, he can perform different abilities in his Base or Super Form:

* **Dark Regeneration**: Using Obscure's Energy, he can heal his wounds and even recover lost limbs, reconstructing them by small black tentacles that comes from the damaged part of the body.
* **Dark Claws:** The hands of Soku are covered by darkness mixed with a little violet glow and with claws, allowing him to make sharp attacks.
	+ **Dark Tentacles:** Soku modifies the Dark Claws thanks to Obscure's intervention, making them work as tentacles with claws in their tips, helping as support in the fights. Soku can spawn them on the background or in his body. Those can shoot energy too, strong as Soku's.

### Li**ght Powers**

* *In the primal time of angels and demons this energy was used in a 500 year war, as Light Powers is the complete contrast to Dark Powers. Both powers beyond that point were spread amongst the universe to prepare for the next 500 year war with Light Powers ending up in the hands into specimens who are in the image of the current 5th dimensional god's. This power has since then been classified as a gift from those in the mortal realm who feel repentance in order to rejoice.*

Thanks to being shot by a Light Arrow, Soku can perform different abilities in his Base or Super Form:

* **Light Hands**: Similar to Dark Claws, covers Soku hands in light energy to use as gauntlets in the battle.
* **Light Arrow:** Soku uses the Light Powers to create a Light Arrow, **throwing it to their enemies to cancel their Dark Power attacks** or give someone the Light Powers. *Soku used it to himself to avoid Obscure take control of his body multiple times.*
* **Light Bash:** Creates light orbs in the background that explodes in contact of his opponents.
* **Light Scattershot**: In comparision of the Light Blast, it releases six small bolts from his hands to his enemies.

It is important to say that *Soku has basic skills with weapons*, as a Spear, a Bow, an Axe, and a Katana, shown when he shapes his energy as the weapons. He learnt those by watching other people use them, in videos or during his free time on cities.

## Transformations

### **Super Form**

The principal and natural saiyan form of Soku. It boosts Soku's power base to **higher levels** (multiplies his base form power 25 times), being able to move faster and have quicker capacity of reaction time, as well as a better control of his abilities and the intensification of strength and power of them.

The color of his hair changes to yellow and his black iris dissapear, only having his green eyes. His muscles tenses up and gets noticeable bigger, becoming Soku more bulky.

Soku obtains more strength, defense, control of his powers and more speed with the transformation.

### **Obscure Mode**

The transformation that Soku obtained after accepting the deal with the Demon Obscure. This form is used with the **Dark Energy** from Obscure, which inverts the color of Soku's clothes, change it's hair to black and makes it grows a little. His body muscles grows more compared to his Super Form, becoming even more bulky. The color of his eyes changes, between **black** (in neutral state, feeling no harm nearby or just being chill), or **red** (angry or mad. It is important to remark that when he's fully raged, his entire eyes turn red and loses his mind for some seconds). His look, before, used to be "cloudy", unable to know the color of his eyes unless he was raged.

The power up that Soku receives with the **Obscure Mode** is huge, being able to compare a transformation of a **God** (in this case, Retsu Urakki with his **Fire God Transformation**), known as the strongest transformation of Soku. *Nevertheless, he's not fully able to control the form*, losing the energy of it in minutes and going back to base, which makes him use the Obscure Form as last resort.

Due to the amount of Dark Power, it becomes toxic for the users body, obtaining consequences for using the form (depending on how much its used), like shorten the life of the user by days, months, years, or in the worst case, causing death after its use.

In comparison of Super Form, Obscure Mode gives a bigger boost to all abilities, as well as allowing Soku to new ones like:

* **Creation of Dark Tentacles:** He can make appear a huge amount of tentacles with hands, spawn them on the background or in his body, which can help during the fight or give them the shape of an object. Those can shoot energy too, strong as Soku's.
* **"Inmortality"**: Soku can survive, if he's not badly injured, mortal attacks like losing his head or his heart, being able to regenerate them with the energy of Obscure.
* **Merged Clones:** As a "*better*" version of his ability of creating clones, he can merg them on his body, using them as extra support.
* **Obscure's Boost:** The Dark Power of Obscure is shared with external individuals, giving them boost of their powers not as high as the user. It is noticeable when someone obtains the Obscure's Boost due to the black/violet aura that surrounds them.
* **Transmit** **Obscure**: As a way to keep Obscure alive and be used by other people, the user of it needs to charge all the Dark Energy on his hands to give a direct punch to the body of their victim, *losing Obscure of their spirit* but transmiting it to someone else, making them fall in coma for days until Obscure wakes up controlling the body for minutes, and then the new user goes back to control it. *Soku has never used this technique*.

## Trivia

* Soku always wanted a sheep as a pet to call it "**Roberto Da Sheep**", obtaining it after one year since the second fight and reconciliation with Retsu.
* Soku is, in fact, a saiyan, but doesn't remember anything that has happened to him or with his race, so he doesn't call his transformation "**Super Saiyan**", but "**Super Form**".
* Soku has a house with Retsu on a mountain, which has only one neighboor, a farmer that lives miles of distance, called Matthew.
* On his free times, he just chills with Retsu watching TV, playing videogames or walking to any city they want.
* Soku can talk Spanish and English as main languages, barely understanding Japanese.
* Soku's groups of friends *(including Kazuto and Blakki)* were originally characters of a fanmade Dragon Ball pivot series called "**Dragon Ball Power Evolution**", which was **cancelled** by the creator **Soku**, but referenced in his backstory on DBNG.
* Even if Soku doesn't admit it, Shojan reminds him to his original "brothers", Kazuto and Blakki.
