Quote: "It's ironic isn't it? All my years of training to defeat your father, I go out like this trying to save you: his son"
Name: Piccolo
Age: Appears 16 years old; actual age is 36 years old
Where is this character from?: Dragon Ball Z series
Why did you pick him/her?: He's badass. And awesome. Plain and simple. Also since piccolo's history is quite huge I'm gonna strictly end it by the Cell Saga. Due to the movies not being canon I'm not gonna include them.

Personality:
Piccolo at first was sadistic, evil, heartless, cold, vengeful and power hungry, but as the years have gone by he's become more moralistic, compassionate, thoughtful and noble. He does have a very difficult time expressing his emotions still coming across as quiet, aloof and cold but there is no question is can be quite caring, heroic and honorable. He has a pretty stern, firm and disciplined disposition but has a pretty aggressive and feisty spirit. It's difficult to break his temper but once it's broken, he's quite violent and will go out of his way to kill especially if someone is harming innocent people. That said he is quite tender, nurturing and friendly but that is a side that only truly trusted people see. He is distrusting, reserved and introverted, but once his trust is earned he does show his softer and kinder side. He can come across as grumpy more than anything but he does have a sense of humor, coming across as quite sarcastic and dry. He has an adventurous spirit, usually embracing his lust for battle as he is comfortable in a fighting environment. That said he's a honorable and pragmatic fighter, usually being quite creative and quick-witted in any situation. He's also unquestionably loyal to his allies, being quite giving, considerate and protective of them. He is also extremely observant, wise and ambitious.
History:
Piccolo was born as both the son and reincarnation of his father, King Piccolo. While Piccolo was definitely his own identity, he had the memories, powers and desires of his father. As such when he was just a hatchling, he had already proceeded with the sadistic desires of his father before. To take over the world and to kill Goku, who was responsible for his father's death. But he didn't exactly know where he came from and what his history was, only that his father was dead and he needed to avenge him. He believed himself to be a demon at first but would later learn in life that he was of the alien race of Namekians, a strong warrior alien race that matured and worked differently than humans did. He learned of his potential and powers while on his own, eventually realizing he needed to train. He trained and surviving all by himself in the woods, spending at least three to four years training and raising himself. While his chronological age was around two, his physical and mental state was extremely independent and self reliant. He was mischievous and caused trouble, for example he burglarized a innocent family. But he was still more honorable than his father, even saving a innocent child and mother from a storm. But he was too focused on revenge to care about his more kinder deeds.
At the age of three in human years, which was a teenager in namekian years he went to the 23rd world tournament to challenge goku. He made it to the finals and had a long, violent battle with goku but was defeated eventually by him. In anger and frustration, he went to isolate himself and train harder to prepare for a rematch against Goku. Five years later he was confronted by a Saiyan by the name of Raditz, who pestered him to a fight but was luckily saved by Raditz changing his mind to try to find his brother named Kakarot who would eventually be discovered to in fact be Goku himself. Piccolo was absolutely frightened by Raditz' power and realized that the Saiyan was planning to kill everyone and conquer the world with the dragon balls, a magical tool that could grant any wish someone wanted. Piccolo then proposed an alliance with Goku to defeat him. Goku agreed since Raditz kidnapped his son Gohan. Goku and Piccolo worked together but Raditz became too strong for them. So goku restrained him to have piccolo use his special beam canon move as a means to take him down, having no other choice Piccolo killed both goku and Raditz. The plan succeeded but piccolo was dismayed when Raditz warned that two more like him would come to conquer earth in one year. Sensing Gohan to have even more power than his father, piccolo captured him and proceeded to take Gohan as his student as a desperate means to survive against the upcoming saiyans. He trained Gohan for a whole year, becoming closer and closer to the young child as the days went by. Piccolo was admittedly shocked at how he was growing attached to the child, but realized it was due to Gohan's sweet, open-minded nature. Piccolo also realized that gohan was the only friend he ever truly had, and vowed to himself that he would protect the small boy by any means needed.
A year passed and two saiyans by the names of nappa and Vegeta arrived. Alongside Gohan and Goku's allies such as Tien and Krillan, Piccolo confronted them both. They tried to buy some time as Goku had been resurrected to take down the two saiyans but after three hours, they had their hands full with fighting both nappa and vegeta. They were definitely much stronger than Raditz, Nappa killing most of goku's allies. When Gohan and Nappa fought, Nappa attempted to kill said young boy. Piccolo, in a desperate attempt to save his student, sacrificed himself. With his dying breath, he acknowledged to gohan that he viewed the boy as a good friend and acknowledged that his teachings could be sometimes cruel but it was only because piccolo saw his potential. He then passed on and went to King Kai's purgatory home, training under king kai as to get much stronger than before to prepare for future fights. He was eventually resurrected thanks to the discovery of more dragon balls on the planet Namek, the planet of his origin. He flew to help his allies, where he found a injured Nail, a namekian who fought Frieza to save his planet. Nail convinced him to fuse with him, as Nail would make him more powerful. Piccolo agreed and fused with nail, gaining his skills and power. He then assisted Gohan, Krillan, Goku and the newly atoned vegeta into defeating Frieza who was planning to conquer Namek for it's dragon balls. He, alongside all of the rest of the namekian race including Dende, Gohan, Bulma, Vegeta and Krillan were then transported to earth to save them thanks to Goku wishing them there except Frieza and himself.
This event changed Piccolo's perspective on Goku entirely, causing piccolo to finally respect and honor goku for who he was, a true hero. The namekian race eventually travelled to a new planet but piccolo chose to stay on earth, as he found it to be his home now and he wanted to protect gohan. During a time of peace, Garlic Jr. a old enemy of Kami's attacked them but thanks to himself, gohan and krillan they managed to defeat him. Then a whole year passed and Frieza returned alongside his father King Cold. Just as they were prepared to fight, a young man with purple hair killed both frieza and his father. This man eventually was discovered to be a future version of Trunks, the son of vegeta and bulma. Future Trunks came to warn them of Dr. Gero's android creations destroying most of life on earth, along with most of them. Piccolo trained alongside Goku and Gohan, even being a welcomed part of the Son family. After three years they confronted Dr. Gero and android 19 who they assumed to be the androids trunks warned them about. It turned out Dr. Gero was their creator and android 19 was his servant. The real androids said to destroy them were of the names Android 17 and Android 18, who were released after piccolo, krillan, and Tien unintentionally let Dr. Gero escape. Androids 17 and 18 killed Dr. Gero for his abusive tendencies towards them and went to fight goku, defeating everyone including piccolo himself.
Future Trunks returned to meet up with them, to defeat the androids and was quite concerned when both android 17 and 18 were even stronger in this timeline than his own. Concerned, Piccolo went off to get stronger, not telling anyone of his plan to prevent suspicion. He went to Kami, the god of the earth, and pleaded for his help. Kami, way before Piccolo was created, was once a nameless namekian that forced himself to separate into two beings. One was kami the other was piccolo's father. Kami agreed to fuse with him once more as piccolo was not the same as his father, this resulted in piccolo being much stronger and able to be equal with the androids. Piccolo then went back to earth to realize a even bigger threat came to them by the name of Cell, a biochemical creature that absorbed human lifeforms and drained their energy. Piccolo fought with him successfully but cell managed to get away, even taking some of piccolo's energy, but before leaving Cell told him of his plan to be the perfect warior, planning to absorb the androids 17 and 18 to do it. Angry at letting cell escape, he finally agreed to work once more with his allies properly to prevent any more damage. So he joined them at Master Roshi's house, master roshi being goku's master, to recuperate and prepare. He then proceeded to fight with 18, 17 and their friend android 16 to destroy them in order to save them from Cell. He fought android 17 successfully only to be interrupted by cell. Piccolo managed to save enough time for 18 and 16, but he was beaten severely by cell as a result. 17 also unfortunately got absorbed, leading piccolo to be forced to recover.
He recovered and trained at Kami's old lookout, alongside Gohan and Goku in a attempt to beat Cell who eventually absorbed 18 which caused him to be Perfect Cell. He, alongside Vegeta, Trunks, Tien, Krillan, Gohan and Goku went to fight him. Goku then, much to piccolo's unapologetic anger, forced Gohan to battle cell. This resulted in gohan getting a severe beating only to finally morph into his super Saiyan two form by sheer force of will. Gohan, much to piccolo's personal shock, then managed to beat cell down forcing cell to make himself into a bomb, which forced goku to sacrifice himself by teleporting him somewhere else. Cell then reproduced himself, killing Trunks, determined to protect gohan, Piccolo gave all his strength to make sure cell didn't attack gohan directly. Thankfully both vegeta and gohan managed to finally kill cell. Thanks to Kami being connected with the dragon balls, kami's disappearance forced the dragon balls of earth to disappear. This lead to the teleportation of dende who agreed to be the god of the earth and restore the earth's dragon balls to resurrect most of the people on earth that were killed by cell, including the future trunks. Then finally, finally peace was restored and piccolo awaited for the next battle, proud of gohan's ability and mourning the loss of Goku.
One day though he felt his energy become somewhat weaker, enough to make him pass out. He awoke in a new facility, surrounded by people he didn't know. At first he was confrontational but then was assured thanks to Mira Nova and Film Brain who explained his situation. He felt a magical force, unknown to him, drain his energy enough that he wasn't godlike. While he was still immensely strong, thanks to the powers of both kami and nail still within him, he could tell that certain attacks he just couldn't do anymore. He had to rely on the special beam cannon and hellzone grenade as his strongest attacks. He agreed to stay on the defiants to find out the source of how he got somewhat weaker and also to return home, as he was concerned of what would happen without him there.
