Description

A picture of my Persona OC...the character that represents me! He's a Saiyan, and while his Earth name is Cliff, his Saiyan name is Tomaki (a pun on Tomato...althogh Tomoki in Japanese means "wise tree" so I guess you could say it's a double meaning). I'm so happy with how this picture came out! It's brilliant! The kanji on the back of his hoodie actually means "Raven." The outfit is meant to be a combination of light casual clothing but also with the looseness and versatility of a martial arts gi. This way Cliff can fight no matter where he is or what he's doing. 

Ya'll wanna hear Cliff's backstory and biology? Well cool, because below I'll add a short bio!

Bio: Born on Planet Vegeta as a baby, Tomaki, like all Saiyans had his power level read when he was young. With a small power level of only 4, Tomaki was deemed too weak to have around and thus was sent to another planet, as was the Saiyan custom with babies of weak strength. Upon landing on the planet, Tomaki struggled to survive on his own in the wilderness. The pod he came in played recordings that taught him his name, his heritage, and his purpose. Upon learning these things, Cliff began his reign of terror by attacking nearby villages and towns...until he met Hayato Furinji.
When Tomaki was 10 years old, he encountered Hayato and the two met on the ledge of a large cliff near Hayato's town. Hayato, being a highly trained and experienced martial artist, overpowered Tomaki with ease and Tomaki accidentally tumbled over the edge. Falling down over 30 feet, Tomaki hit his head on the rocks below. However, the child survived. Unike Goku though, Tomaki retained his memories of being a Saiyan...and he also retained his memories of his origins...but he had forgotten his purpose, and all of his killing intent was gone from his body. He was now a lost child with no family to call his own.
Hayato offered to take him in and became like an adoptive father to Tomaki, renaming him "Cliff" after the cliff that he'd fallen from and been reborn at. Over the years, Cliff grew stronger in the ways of martial arts, being trained by the masters at Ryozanpaku and also began to master the use of his own ki energy. Inspired by comics he read about heroes protecting the weak and helpless, Cliff dedicated himself to learning to be a hero...to defend the weak and the needy with his power. 

It's a rough backstory, but there it is. ^^ I hope that you guys like it. There's more to his actual story, but I'm still debating if I want to write that out or not.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but this origin story of yours kind of reminds me of a conversation we had once. Can I ask if it inspired you in any way?
