## Professional Information

### Former Allegiances

None

***Romain Borde*** is an *Earthling* hailing from the planet of Earth, and is one of the lesser-known characters in the *Ikigai*, having only made an appearance in a single event as of now and having made no major impacts to the story as a result.

## Appearance

*Romain* is a rather tall individual for his species, standing at 6 feet tall, while also sporting red hair and red eyes. He also has an athletic build, which is further supported by his consistent and constant training. Other than that, he's no different than any other Earthling on the planet that he lives on appearance wise.

## Personality

*Romain* is a free-spirited individual most of the time, not really caring about what others think so long as it doesn't directly bother him. He also isn't the most serious individual either, often times making jokes even when the time would benefit from one not being made, although this isn't to say he's unable to get serious, it's just that most of the time he's less serious than he should be. This also extends to when he's fighting as well, although when he fights, he usually tends to be a little more serious depending on the fight he's fighting in.

## Background/History

### Origins

*Romain* doesn't really have a grand origin like most others do, as he was just a regular guy born and raised in a city like any other person on his home planet, although there was something special about that differentiated him from other Earthlings, and that was his innate ability to control his own Ki exceptionally well, a trait that he shares with two other people, even if he himself didn't realize it initially. Other than that, there is nothing else to mention when it comes to *Romain's* origins.

### Pre-Goro and Korn

Before his confrontation with *Goro* and *Korn*, *Romain* and simply just trained to get stronger on his own terms, having his own personal gravity chamber to help him out on this endeavor. Nothing of importance happens in this period of time other than him simply training for most of that time, obtaining his *Max Power* form as well.

### Goro and Korn Confrontation

During the confrontation with *Goro* and *Korn*, in which *Romain* and seemingly walked in on the encounter on accident when he was going into the city to buy weights for his next training session, *Romain* really didn't do much in the event, entirely because he was one of the weakest contestants there, although that sort-of played into his favor as *Goro* and *Korn* had other plans that thankfully did not involve *Romain* in any capacity, and after the anti-climactic clash of beams and attacks on *Korn*, *Romain* was there to view the corpse of a fellow *Ancient Saiyan* who Lucky had killed after said attack. Afterwards, Romain would continue on his training journey unimpeded, as he was not injured in the slightest during that confrontation despite what had went on.

### Pre-Royale Rumble Festival

Now up to present day, this is when *Romain* really kicked up his training into high gear, as since 3 years had passed since now and his encounter with Goro and Korn, he's been training in his own gravity chamber every day so that he could be strong enough to fight against them both if they come back to Earth for another round. During this time, his power level would skyrocket from what it once was, overshadowing his former power level by hundreds of thousands, if not even millions, of times over. He also had obtained his strongest form yet during this time, *No Ego Zone*, thanks in part due to his innate ability to control Ki and his persistent training, and had learned a variety of techniques on his own time to give himself some staying power, as he was definitely one of the strongest Earthlings on his own planet at the moment, although *Romain* knew he could still get stronger from this point forward, just not in the traditional way. He also met another person named Silus Windmere during this time, although they simply exchanged words before *Silus* left, as his intentions for coming to *Romain* in the first place was because of his high power level.

After his training binge and his meeting with *Silus*, he was flying over the forest where his gravity chamber resided until he felt an odd ki presence, feeling the user of the ki having some inner turmoil, leaning more towards bad than good. Wanting to investigate this oddity, he flew down to the location where this presence was located, with the source of said Ki being a Demon Clan Namekian named Akuma, although he didn't know this person in the slightest. After *Akuma* noticed *Romain*, they had a little bit of a discussion about the reason behind *Romain's* sudden intrusion and after *Romain* felt satisfied enough and was ready to leave, *Akuma* had asked if he could spar with him, to which he obliged. Eventually, the fight ended with both *Romain* and *Akuma* powering up to their strongest forms (*No Ego Zone* for *Romain* and *Demonic Expulsion* for *Akuma*) and firing their strongest techniques at each other (*Final Kamehameha* for *Romain* and *Special Beam Cannon* for *Akuma*). In the end, *Romain's* beam would come out the victor in this battle, injuring *Akuma* a fair bit, although nothing a good *Senzu Bean* can't fix. After lending a helping hand in getting *Akuma* on his two feet, both of them had left the area, now having formed a large crater as a result of their clash.

### Royale Rumble Festival

*Romain* did not participate in the Royale Rumble Festival, with his reasoning being that even though he was one of the strongest Earthlings, it didn't compare to any of the bigger names that were participating in the tournament, and although he knew full well that he wasn't winning the event and really ever wanted to join to test out his own strength, he still was focused on improving himself over actually wanting to see how strong he was, as he already had a good feeling for how strong he was with his fight against one of the festival's participants, *Akuma*, so he was sitting out of this one, but he did watch the stream that went alongside the event, he didn't really have anything else to do anyways.

It is also during this time that *Romain* had gone through his first Rebirth, with the reason being is that his body was forced to adapt to the amount of power that *Romain* was gaining, developing a sort-of biological limiter akin to what a *Frost Demon* does eventually once they get strong enough.

### Pre-War Between Gods and Men (Current Time)

After his *Rebirth*, *Romain* would resume to his daily training regimen as per usual, regaining usage of his *Max Power* within his first training session after *Rebirthing*. After his first training session, he once again had met with *Silus*, with *Silus* asking *Romain* if he could use his chamber, and some thought on *Romain's* part, he allowed it, so as long he didn't destroy the chamber and locked it after leaving it.

## Techniques

### Gained from the Shop

Although *Romain* has not developed his own techniques as of yet, he does know several techniques that a lot of other people know (or could know), of which are as follows:

* **Instant Transmission** - The most useful utility technique that *Romain* has aside from *Solar Flare*, this technique allows him to teleport to pretty much anywhere he wants, so long as he can get a lock on an energy signature that he is at least somewhat familiar with.
* **Kamehameha** - A technique that almost everyone and their mothers know, this beam is an old reliable when it comes to generically offensive techniques.
* **Final Flash** - A big beam meant to completely engulf and wipe out whoever may be unfortunate enough to fall victim to it, although the charge time for *Final Flash* is definitely not short.
* **Final Kamehameha** - A combination of *Kamehameha* and *Final Flash*, this technique does take a bit to charge up for *Romain*, although the resulting power is truly something to behold.
* **Solar Flare** - A technique that is used by various people due to its usage and application, this skill, upon usage, will temporarily blind the opponent, allowing for an easier time to do whatever plan the user may have in mind. Although the technique can be negated by simply closing your eyes, using *Solar Flare* under specific circumstances (such as using it in front of the Sun) will nullify this weakness entirely.
* **Hell's Flash** - A devastating attack that requires the user to charge it up for 3 posts, resulting in a beam that increases the user's power for that attack by 3 times. Additionally, after the beam is fired, several smaller beams will shoot forth from the original beam, causing more damage to be dealt overall if the main beam didn't do its job well enough.
* **Tri-Beam** - An attack most famously used by Tien, this attack increases the user's power for that attack by 3 times due to the amount of energy needed to perform the attack.
* **God Punisher** - A technique he learned after his first *Rebirth*, this technique fires two spheres of energy at the opponent, costing 30% of the users Ki. The user can use more Ki to bombard the opponent with more blasts afterwards.
* **Gravity Bash** - A technique he learned after his first *Rebirth*, this technique gathers energy into the user's palm and forming it into a sphere, dealing some damage upon impact. This costs 30% of the user's Ki in order to be used.
* **Hellzone Grenade** - A technique he learned after his first *Rebirth*, this technique fires several ki blasts into the air, forgoing any sort of accuracy. Afterwards, the user can have the blasts close in on the opponent at any point, causing a massive amount of damage to be dealt if the technique goes off as its supposed to. This uses up 40% of the user's Ki.

### Transformations

As of now, *Romain* only has two transformations to his name. They are as follows:

* **Max Power** - A transformation that increases *Romain's* power level by 50 times, while also bulking him up a great deal, although this bulk does slow him down a considerable amount, a problem that he is actively looking to remove and solve. He regained usage of this transformation almost immediately after *Rebirthing*.
* **No Ego Zone** - *Romain's* strongest transformation to date, this form increases his power level by 600 times, and was obtained when *Romain* learned to keep all of the Ki that was passively leaking out of him for himself. Although this does solve the problems that *Max Power* had, this gives *Romain* no way to progressively get stronger as the battle continues, essentially going from 0 to 100 in a moment's notice because of this. After *Rebirthing*, *Romain* currently does not have access to this transformation.
* **Unrealized Ultra Instinct** - Although *No Ego Zone* could be considered a godly transformation by some, considering that training with an Angel grants much earlier usage of the form than those who simply train on their own, *Unrealized Ultra Instinct* is on the fine line between godly and non-godly, as this form grants the user instincts similar to those who utilize it's more refined versions, *Ultra Instinct* and *Mastered Ultra Instinct*, although much less potent than either of those forms, but even then, this form is still strong in its own right. It is unknown how *Romain* obtained this form, he just simply awakened it during his training, as if he always had it, but laid dormant up until then.

## Weapons/Items

As of now, *Romain* does not currently own any weapons, although he does own two items, his own personal gravity chamber and his own spaceship (the *Large* variant) in which he can travel across space without needing to use *Instant Transmission*, although he can't exactly teleport anywhere and everywhere with the technique without a proper ki signature he knows, so that's where the spaceship comes in.
