Player Info:
Nickname: Ryan
Age: 27
Personal LJ/DW: [personal profile] endless_sorcerer 
Method of Contact: plurk
Characters Played: n/a

Character Info:
Name: Son Goku
Age:  24
Canon: Dragon Ball Z
Pull Point: Just after his first death and having to travel Snake Way.
Background Info:
History: wiki
Personality:

Goku, despite his looks, is actually an alien from the planet Vegeta. He was sent to Earth to destroy it, but was found by a kind old man named Gohan, who would become Goku's adopted grandfather. Goku was a rather unruly baby, until he took a tumble down a cliff and miraculously survived. From that day on, he was the most well-behaved child anyone could ever hope for. But due to being raised by a mountain hermit, he was pretty innocent to the world around him.

Even now, as a young adult, Goku still retains a lot of the personality he had as a child. He's friendly, possibly TOO friendly for some people. He'll trust anyone, even if it's obvious they happen to be the worst people in the world. And despite the fact that he killed plenty of people in his younger years, mainly due to having no concept of morality at the time, he dislikes killing anyone unless they refuse to change their ways. He's pretty much the definition of Stupid Good.

But don't let that fool you. He is strong. Possibly the strongest person in the world. Some of this is due to the natural strength and potential of every Saiyan. But he was also trained by some of the greatest men the world has to offer. But even if he's saved the world from the terror of the Red Ribbon Army and even the Demon King Piccolo, he's more into fighting for fun, and will happily take up any challenge that might be given to him. But even more so if it involves food. Goku loves food, almost to an unhealthy degree. He will devour anything and everything in sight when the mood strikes him. And hilariously enough, he's deathly afraid of needles. Which just goes to show you, it doesn't matter how strong you are. Needles are pure evil.

Game Specific:
Arcana: Fool
Justification:
If Goku is anything, he's an optimist. He always believes things will go right, even if it looks like the complete opposite is happening at the time. He will always believe there's a way to make things right, no matter what. There's also the fact that despite being exposed to the world, he's got a bit of innocence and naivety about some aspects of the modern world. He could be seen as a positive influence for just how good of a person he is. And going by just how many ridiculous power-ups he gets during the series as it progresses? Pretty sure the untapped potential thing applies pretty well.
Samples:
First Person Sample:

[ Video enabled. Anyone watching will find the usually all too cheerful Goku looking kind of... worried? ]

Uh, guys. I've got a question for ya. Wait, is this thing even on?

[
A few seemingly random taps on the touch pad seem to be enough to satisfy him, and so he continues. ]

So, uh. What exactly does it mean when someone says you're "banned for life"? Like, would you not be banned anymore if you died and then came back to life? Because I think I might actually starve to death if this keeps happening.

Third Person Sample:

Well, this was certainly a situation he was all too familiar with. Being out numbered by the enemy never really bothered him, to be honest. The only problem was that Shadows didn't exactly speak in any language he could understand, which pretty much made any negotiations useless. Well, there was only one thing he could do. Play around with them and hope they eventually give up and run away, right? It's not like he's just going to kill something because it's weird. He didn't want to kill anything. Unless it's edible, but that's a totally different story.

And so the shadows went in for their attack, thinking they could easily overwhelm him that way. He thought they were pretty silly, considering he carried a trusty pole with him that allowed him to fling himself out of the way of the oncoming foes. Granted, it wasn't his handy Power Pole, but it worked in a pinch. The closet shadow realized what had happened and attempted to come out him, which only resulted in it getting slapped away with the pole. Even better, he happened to slap the shadow right into the other two, causing a triple damage combo which would hopefully keep them down for a couple of seconds. It was long enough for him to think of his next move, at least.
