Son Gohan

Character Name: Son Gohan
Canon: Dragon Ball
Brief Personality: Not to be confused with his future self, this one's a life-loving nerd who grew up way too early but got to stop fighting androids when he was 10. Unfortunately for him, that didn't mean he got to go on a Pokemon journey. He's got a real thirst for knowledge and a strong desire to protect life, but he's got some real skeletons in his closet. Social awkwardness, some anxieties over whether he's really got what it takes to be the hero everyone (including himself) wants him to be, and a strong fear of how dangerous his emotions can be.
Appearance: Normally, nothing really stands out about him. He's pretty normal looking, black (albeit spiky) hair, normal clothes, average weight and height. It's when he goes Super Saiyan or starts really unleashing his strength that he might stand out more, but otherwise he's pretty normal. How he manages to hide his massive muscles under his shirt, the world may never know.

He has a super hero alter-ego, however, who stands out a good deal more, though...
Slice of Life or ADVENTURE: Gohan lends himself to either or pretty well. If it were up to him, he'd stick to the slice of life, trying to lead his ordinary, peaceful life that has no trouble in it, and just using his superhero identity to satisfy his occasional action lust. But his life rarely goes the way he wants it, as trouble tends to follow him wherever he goes. He's a curious and intellectual sort, always willing to learn things about the world, so adventure isn't out of the question for him. He's secretly one of the most powerful people around, so hey, if you can somehow figure him out and get him to help you out on your crazy adventures, you've got a hell of an ally?
Current Activities/Developments: He's dating Videl and I'm pretty sure they're in that awkward puppy love phase of their relationship. He's also slowly coming to terms with his so-called "normal" life falling apart in Verens, what with Gotenks pulling their little stunt, his future self not understanding what it means to be inconspicuous, and Jacqli having totally busted him on his secrecy.
Future Developments: Well, he's got at least one potential castmate coming this month, so his life could change pretty drastically yet again. I could see Bulma putting him to work for her once she gets settled. He's going to be hopefully working with his Future Self on helping the latter achieve greater strength, he's going to be training Videl on more ki usage. He's being blackmailed by Jacqli to serve as a Vanguard for her whenever she goes exploring now that she knows he's strong. And I've got some family-based pain lined up for him and Goten.
Shipping/Romance: He's taken by Videl. Sorry, ladies. No nerd for you.

Seeking: More nerdy intellectual friends he can bond with and be a nerd over stuff with, definitely. But also more serious CR, people who can dig into his layers and find out that there's way more to him than he lets on.
Offering: A bright up-and-coming scholar with a thirst for knowledge but a ton of social awkwardness. But also a diligent and passionate martial artist who's got some impressive feats under his belt. And also a super hero who behaves like he crawled straight out of 1960s comics. And underneath all of it is a guy who has a ton of issues that really need to be dealt with but he won't talk about it because he'd rather repress them!
Not Interested In/Avoiding: Nothing, I'll work with it all for him!
