Zyahe

Personality

At the confluence of two warrior races it would appear something went quite unbelievably wrong with Zyahe. A placid, amiable and largely passive youth, for whatever reason he displays almost none of the traits most associated with either of his hybrid parent species. The blood lust that led the Herans to being sealed away certainly doesn't present readily although it does exist in a much lesser and fiercely repressed state. The real notable thing is that he displays nothing whatsoever of the archetypal Saiyan pride, letting almost anyone ride roughshod over him even to the point of actual physical violence. Most of the time, unless he were in actual danger of his life he would happily just stand there and take whatever the offending party had to dish out. Early on it became apparent to him that if ever he did fight back when someone gave him shit for being either a Saiyan or a Heran then the same thing would happen. He'd win, other people would get hurt. Badly. So he mostly stopped fighting back.

This peculiar passivity went on to infect the other areas of his life, it made him very much a follower rather than a leader and as much shows through his interactions with others, especially people he's unfamiliar with. Quiet, understated, hesitant, one would probably more easily think him an Earthling than a Saiyan. Occasionally though there are times when someone's able to really get under his skin, rattle or rile him enough that there shows through... something else.

On those occasions, when the world around him turns red, right before the colour bleeds out of his vision altogether, when he no longer feels wholly like himself but the... thing that everyone had expected him to be in the first place. On those occasions there's little enough that can hope to get in between him and the object of his primal, uncompromising, unquenchable rage.

Backstory

Zyahe was the product of two warrior races, the proud Saiyans and the bellicose Herans, although to look at him nowadays one would never think so. His mother Ginga had been a well-respected if ultimately low-class warrior in the Saiyan Alliance and his father Kori was a small time mercenary whom she had happened to meet during a mission. After having worked together several times over the years they became very close and after finding out that Ginga had become pregnant they decided to elope with the intention of settling down. They were both still very much engaged in mercenary work since firstly neither of them would really be able to give up fighting and secondly they weren't really skilled for anything else. Strangely enough though Zyahe himself never really seemed to have much interest in fighting, oh he would train when his parents asked and he seemed to enjoy physical exertion like all youngsters do, but he never really asked about their work or expressed the desire to join either of them.

In truth he seemed largely gentle, not really what his parents had been banking on for their little bundle of pride and power, but having been dealt something of a tough hand they were happy to adapt. Eventually electing to settle on the pristine blue marble of Earth, they lived out in the country where nobody would really be around to gawk at a green man and tailed woman but even when there were people around they were for the most part perfectly pleasant. The location did however make it difficult working the way they did, previously they'd went where the work was but now it was not uncommon for one of them to have to take their leave for months at a time. Which was fine.

There came a time though when Ginga didn't return for a whole year, then eighteen months and then Kori had really begun to worry. Leaving his son enough money to last him about six months Kori went off looking for her but he too it seemed was unable to return. To this day Zyahe isn't exactly sure what happened, he wonders if his father was able to find her and if so he wonders whether he had returned to something like his old life in shock or grief. Mostly he tries not to think about it. Twelve years of age and no real money to speak of is never a good place to find oneself, lucky for him he had one ace up his sleeve, well you can imagine that being able to lift press a semi truck makes finding work superlatively easy. Zyahe drifted around Earth for years after, never really heading anywhere in particular, ironically doing exactly what his parents had done and following work where it reared its head even if he tried to avoid fighting rather than seek it out. Occasionally he'd have to take a security job when he was hard up, but the sight of a Saiyan tail usually deterred anyone from wanting to create commotion while he was around.

It got to a point though where that actually started causing more problems than it solved. Earth had a pretty rough time of it when it came to Saiyans all told, even though he had nothing to do with that he could appreciate the compulsion and whenever anyone elected to make trouble he would usually just stand there and take it. It wasn't as though he often found anyone who could bestow actual harm on him. Even so he'd make a big show of being 'knocked down' so that he could go ahead with his day quicker. It wasn't a good way to live sure, but it was a way to live and that was what was important at the time. When the Earth had been lost however, its life lost to the Tree of Might and its people to marauding Demons even this became unsustainable.

With anti-Saiyan sentiment at an all time high on the restored Earth, Zyahe decided it was well past due that he called time on his stay there. He didn't want to leave since Earth was as gentle and pleasant a place as he had ever had the good fortune to live, nothing like the places his father had frequented, but if he stayed then eventually someone was going to get hurt and he knew it wasn't going to be him. Over the next year and a half he managed to beg, barter and work his way across the galaxy in order to make it to the Remnant Alliance on Namek. He still didn't figure that he'd be suited for the mercenary life, in fact he wasn't so sure he'd be up to fighting at all, but so long as he could make himself useful it wouldn't be the worst thing to find himself in a much safer place for Saiyans on the whole. Good thing then, depending on your point of view, that the recruiting officer just assumed that a Saiyan Hybrid would be looking for a combat role. Not wanting to disappoint, Zyahe accepted without much of a fuss.
