Personality:
Zefonse carries a powerful presence, noted for his stoic and inscrutable disposition. Despite how imposing he seems, Zefonse was well-loved among his people for being a kind and hands-on ruler. He took large amounts of time each day to have open audiences with anyone who wishes to speak with him, and he often looks into problems personally. Zefonse lives by a philosophy that it is the duty of the strong to protect and guide the weak. He cares deeply for the well-being and happiness of his citizens, whether that be the people of othersr, later, all people of his kingdom, and in his own words, will "crush anyone who dares to harm [his] people". He is passionate when it comes to his beliefs, going to great lengths to uphold them.
Zefonse is not very boastful of his kind; he believes that one's reputation must come from their own actions, not their birthrights. He is seen as cool and calm, and able to process any information he may receive, no matter how shocking or disappointing it may be. Zefonse often appears indifferent, and rarely shows any emotions other than slight annoyance or dissatisfaction on certain subjects. Having the ambition to walk the path that others fear to go. Zefonse is very proud of his own skill, but his arrogance and overconfidence are one of his major flaws. He possesses a very powerful sense of self. When enemies witness his power in battle they can do nothing but wither and stagger before his might, finding that he’s more than simple talk. He tends to be a rather selfless and straightforward man, and will rarely indulge in the company of others. He is also one of the most proficient combatants in existence. When he does speak, he's fairly serious, however he is known to speak how far beneath others are compared to him. An example would be when he tells someone that fear is a natural reaction of being alive. Surprisingly, Zefonse has been shown to give unusual suffixes of his own creations to his teammates; examples being Sei-kai(King), Rya-tō(Brother in Arms), Tema-koro(Sister), and Hai-baku(Honorable foe). What many of these mean in terms of respect is rather highly. Zefonse is composed, receptive, analytically, and prefers normally not to engage in combat; he is content on silently observing both parties until the fighting reaches its conclusion, and actually fights only when he is challenged and attacked by an opponent. Zefonse when he does not hold high respect; he calls them by his given name which is considered very rude in Japanese society. Despite this, he gets mildly offended when others commented that his foe was weak and worthless, even going as far as to defend them. He is quite respectful, particularly to the fallen and the dead. Perhaps as a consequence of his age.
His staggering power is simultaneously reigned in and enhanced by his fierce unshakeable conscience and indomitable spirit. His most remarkable ability is his will to succeed, pushing himself beyond his limitations, and never giving up even when the odds are stacked against him. This will is what created the God Of Battle. As he has aged and wizened, he has been able to, for the most part, internalize these emotions, and display a calm and cool mind in the majority of his activities. He is well-renowned for his kind and compassionate behavior, which extends to his subordinates, friends, and family. During his time as a commander in the war, his troops had the highest morale in the army. Primarily because Zefonse considered his staff and officers as part of his family and treated them as such. As a leader, he was brilliant, leading his division with confidence, determination, and resolve which only served to boost the morale even further. Zefonse desires, above all else, to protect those he values most, and shall do whatever the means to get to that goal. It was this desire that lead him to become a great king and lead him to master his powers to this point. He is known to drive himself to insane lengths to achieve the power necessary to protect those he cares for, even as far as risking his soul to reach to what he has become. Even as far to discard his original name to become something new.
In battle,Zefonse is generally laid back and analytical, a trait that can easily unnerve opponents. When his comrades or family are in danger, he'd rather resolve matters through battle than diplomacy. At the same time, Zefonse has a profound sense of honor, refusing to kill an opponent that can no longer fight to defend themselves as well refuses to use his full power unless needed, but this is also due to his own smug ego that appeared over the years from his overwhelming power. Zefonse possesses incredible clarity of perception, to an almost unrealistic degree, allowing him to easily recognize illusions and different forms ofl energy. He is also able to pick up on subtle details, enabling him to read lip movements and even mimic something like fast movements. Zefonse has an additional "ability" to track fast-moving objects, showing off immense predictive capabilities. In other words, Zefonse is capable of predicting the movements of his opponents, to the point where the opponent likens it to "seeing the future". This combined with his analytical skills allows him to figure out the pro and cons of everything he faces with ease.
Zefonse most feared traits is by far his incredible mind, being able to accurately imagine how situations will develop and innately analyze details. He even has the ability to perform complex mental operations beyond those of a normal human mind. His mind enables them to learn at much faster rates than an average or even intelligent Human in his time. His mental abilities allow him to; acquire knowledge at a much faster rate and determine quick solutions to immediate problems/threats. When his intellect is combined with Hakuda and his swordsmanship, he is a force unlike any other, when he became King, this helped him with political matter’s .
When he was younger and went by the name Arst Outway,he was incredibly light hearted and free-spirited. He seemed to enjoy the world around him. He felt weak being unable to use anything. He was also calm and wise, being able to solve problems by speaking in a soothing tone. However, he was not above making jokes during difficult times and act sarcastic in the face of danger. He was friendly and caring as well, easily making friends with almost everyone he meets. This has made him a very popular and likable individual in what became his Kingdom. His skill with the blade went down as “Sword Fiend” He deeply cared for and loved his family and friends, being ready to defend them without hesitation. One of his most dominate and defining traits in his personality was his natural charisma that will allow him to make a friend out of everyone he meets but if not at the least their respect and/or interest. He was flirty with women, occasionally asking a few out on a date. When he was a kid, he was very active and playful, and loved climbing on trees. That earned him the nickname “Monkey”.
His favorite dish is chocolate parfait. He likes all kinds of sweets. He dislikes spicy food. He likes alcohol and usually holds his liquor really well, but very rare and hard to make whisky inexplicably makes him drunk really fast. He talks like a Katz when he’s drunk.
Despite his imposing look, he’s actually pretty good with kids. He is bad with technology. It took him ages to get used to a cell phone. That said, he’s actually a fast typer once he got the hang of it, but sometimes still makes mistakes like trying to type the message in the header etc. Zefonse is a sword maniac often collecting and going into detail about certain blades when given the chance. He often looks serious but has a sense of humor and makes jokes when the situation calls for it. People never know whether he’s joking or not however.
History:
Arts was an orphaned infant born atop a pile of hard straw during the disastrous era of time when Kami has yet created the dragon balls, who along with several other discard babies was given to a livestock of wild Monster like pigs to be used as food for the carnivorous pigs during the starving times, however Arts was luckily born with a natural gift and instead proved to be a competent predator even in infancy, and was thus made the Pig like monsters leave him alone, feeding off the the land.
Learning to survive in the wild like an animal. Once he reached childhood, he proved to be a fast and wild child who often stole food from nearby settlements in order to survive, often running from townsfolk who were not only angered by his thefts but who also feared him due to his ability to survive amongst the Monster Pigs.
Growing up he had an insatiable appetite that would not be satisfied no matter how much he stole or what he ate (even if it was sand or tree bark) and sometimes he would pass out from his uncontrollable hunger. Eventually however, his wild life as a thieving young predator came to an end when the hunger grew to much to handle. after finally collapsing from starvation, he found by some nearby Monks who took him to the early settlement for food and to train with them in return. However Arsts back then was unable to perform any actions beyond wielding a blade. So instead he trained endlessly to master the blade as a child, as time past by the child became a teen. He felt being out of place as if his body was somehow different from the others. When a grand and terrible war appeared he was made a commander in battle thanks to his skill, they had the highest moral of any squad in this war. However as the war neared its end. he felt empty even when his skill with the blade felt unmatched, even gaining the title “God Of Battle” For his efforts, he felt to out of place with this world. When his army slowly changed into a kingdom, he shifted his efforts to learning the many different styles of combat his people knew, by hosting local tournaments, joining the battle itself unarmed to better understand martial arts, it took many years for him to become strong in all styles he faced. However around this time rumors of a strange dragon that lived in the fiery center of the Earth, and shall grant a single wish. At first disbelieving such a thing could exist Arsts tried to ignore such rumors, but after years of hearing about it, decided to hunt these strange items needed to call this dragon. The journey was long, harsh, unforgiving to his small squad of soldiers hunting the lands for these items. However his time it took to find even one was too long. Time took its toll on Arsts, his body weakening from illness, and countless wounds from the travels. His final journey while “alive” took him to the frozen waste of the south, he was alone now. With every step his body start to give in to the harsh world. Just when he thought he finally saw the strange item need to summon this grand wish giving dragon, a crystalline sphere, his body finally gave in the frozen waste. The land cracked around him, as the ice under him broke, and his body fell into the icy sea.
Now normally this is where one soul found itself in Heaven or Hell, however Arsts soul never left its earthy body, as his body froze over slowly decaying over the ages that had past, Arsts just felt like he was half awake, everything was a blurr. Unknown to time, he was lost in his own personal limbo, banished from death, and the world of the living. Just how many ages had past in this horrid state of being, before his body was recovered at the bottom of the frozen waste where his life had ended? Some sort of private military force was looking for dead bodies for inhuman experiment, this army not only repaired the damages done by time, and the long exposure to the elements, but restored it back to his prime, then started to use his body in a project known as the Z-Energy Foundation. They first experimented to see what was compatable with his body, they found that the Namekians regeneration was beyond just 100% compatible with his DNA, but also the infamous Zenkai, and remains of a more humans into the once powerful King body, along with a countless number of other additions to his body to make him into a powerful Bio- Android, however the head scientist believing the body to be nothing more than a brain dead vegetable who would pose no threat to them. Arsts felt the pain his body went through countless times before awakening to this new age, in control of his own body.
He awoke days later in a strange and foreign land, yet he felt at home, this strange place was filled with wonder of things he has never seen in his time. He heard people talking, but thanks to the changes of time, the language barrier was strong, till he noticed he could understand them as clear as day after just a mere moment. Confused, he stumbled around the lab, as the army gathered forces to attack him, to put him under their control. However he proved a little to skilled for them, and overpowered them vastly thanks to the newfound abilities. After knocking them out, and finding his old armor, also restored in the lab, he left the lab. Finding himself in the same frozen waste where he had died so long ago. But now it felt like cold wasn’t even there. He rushed out as fast he could before more strange machines, followed him. He crossed land that when he was a mere human, would of took months, even years to travel, and crossed them in mere minutes. He came across cities, vastly confused by how time had changed everything, he kept running, and running to find his kingdom once again. However when he entered his former homeland, and only stood as forest, not even a building remained. Just how long was he gone he wondered. He even moved digged for hours, only finding a single sword of his kingdom left. In this confusion and sadness Arsts found out, he had a “memory” banked of events that had happened. and spent days reading about them. So not only his kingdom, but also the very heavens he looked upon had changed. His original name would have no more meaning in this age of new things to experience. He took the very project that made him the Z-Energy Foundation and created the name Zefonse, his last name Kaizme came from combination of the stars his peopled worshiped meaning new start, and hope. Carrying this blade, he traveled back to the lab, that held him, and sliced at the building, demanding answers, but he never got a answered, he refused to kill any of them. and they couldn't hold him because he was far too skilled for them. Zefonse now returned to the forest, and practice his new found powers and skills, in the isolated forests, living off the land for a few years, till he finally wanted to explore the new age, travel the new earth, visit the stars. However in one of his journeys to the city, he accidentally stole a suit that he wears a “Citizen”
Fightning style
Grand Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Zefonse is very efficient in swordsmanship, being able to fight on-par with very powerful being. He is capable of using his speed for flawless precision and to inflict lethal attacks without much effort. Zefonse prefers to wield his sword with his right hand, leaving the other hand free though it usually remains hanging. He is quite adept at blocking while his offense is capable of great precision. His fighting style also involves evasion and attacking an opponent either in the front or back using the element of surprise to overwhelm them. His skills are very versatile, able to use various bladed weapons with high proficiency. He is ambidextrous and can change his fighting style at a whim — keeping his opponents unsure as to his next move. A master of many Kendō combat forms, Zeofnse draws his opponents in, fighting less than his true capability, and then striking the fatal blow when his opponents believe to have the advantage over him. As a grandmaster of Swordsmanship, Zefonse is naturally a master of the general art of Kenjutsu, having mastered its most basic principles to the point in which they alone cause mortal wounds should they be successful. His feigns (usually Iaido) are so fast and spontaneous, he can create several openings in a foe in just one movement; a utilization of his scared, footwork, and center of gravity. Applied effectively, the opponent is set-back one move, while creating an opening elsewhere. Unlike other swordsmen, and any known master of Zanjutsu, Zefonse, adhering to the traditional teachings of Kenjutsu, aims for his foe's sword hand or arm in an attempt to disable and/or disarm his foe of their weapon, and creating large openings from which to deliver the killing blow. There are some attacks, however, that do not require a preceding subterfuge to create the necessary opening for attack. Zefonse refers to these as his "quick strikes" (迅速殴打, jinsoku ōda). They are done with one hands on the sword, much like his various Kendo techniques, or with a sword in each hand, thanks to the unique manifestation of his new self. One hand is at the base of the handle to provide longer reach, while the other hand is at the ridge of the blade to provide the initial force to flick the sword as quick as an arrow to hit the target. This could also be done with his unique sword’, with one sword providing the push for the dispatch. He usually hides these postures from his opponents, and the ready positions are implemented while switching hands or while changing steps. These flicking strikes can be administered from any angle (from the top, sides, or below). The only time he aims for his opponent's weapon or itself, is when parrying; merely in attempt to knock his foe's blade away to allow him to deliver a more powerful thrust of his own. When parrying, Zefonse always directs the point of the sword to the target. This minimizes the step usually needed for him to be able to counter-attack. Thus, his opponent is at an immediate disadvantage. Also, using the quick strike at the opponents sword hand or forearm, as he usually would do in one of his thrusting techniques, will normaly incapacitate the opponent's attack before having to parry it. By keeping the point of his scared pointed towards his opponent while attempting to parry in all angles, provide him with a good foundation for an appropriate counter maneuver reflexes. His ability to employ all three of these aspects of the art, not only flawlessly, but, instinctively, where he doesn't even have to think about them, are a testament to his mastery of the art. His reflexes are trained to react to movements, however chaotic or unpredictable they may be, to the point that he can fight in total darkness and still effectively parry and return opponent techniques and strikes. He is also capable of taking on several opponents at once with his techniques. Because his preferred weapon is a Changdao. Zefonse is also a master of double-bladed combat and can adjust his style correctly to incorporate them into his attacks and parries. Zefonse use of the art of Kendō, is considered a master of the art in every way. Because of his masterful command of the art, he is known as a "kendōka" (剣道家, those who practice Kendo). It is primarily a two-handed sword art, with tremendous power behind it. The purpose of Kendō is to throw off a target's determination and test their resolve. A weakening of resolve usually produces several openings from which Zefonse can exploit to deliver a killing blow. Unlike other’s Zefonse mixes his Kendō in with his traditional Zanjutsu and Kenjutsu fighting, usually using Kendō techniques as finishing moves, or as a opening attack. His Kendō, in particular, is feared as the strongest among any practitioner from his era, as he is able to use it to cut through people. His Kendo strikes are so powerful, they can easily slice through large debris, and even the metal that compassed the lab that had reborn him.They also have a tremendous amount of concussive force behind them, able to create a large explosion of air pressure after each and every swing.He can have so much precision that the cut of extreme force and speed he create’s, casually slice through large, multi-story high opponents. Another traditional Japanese school of swordsmanship in which Zefonse has practiced in his pursuit of swordsmanship mastery. "Iaijutsu" (居合術, Art of Drawing the Sword), focuses primarily on drawing the sword in such a way that it can actually be used as a combative art. Iaido is primarily used as a feigning technique, meant to surprise an opponent before using more traditional Kenjutsu or Zanjutsu to deal damage, or Kendo to finish an opponent off. He can also use it as a disarming technique, for example, drawing his sword so fast, he can strike his target with the hilt, knocking the wind out of them and taking them out of a fight before the fight really begins. His Iaido strikes are so incredibly fast and spontaneous, defending against them could result in maiming or, in more severe cases, broken bones and even death. Zefonse can move his so sword swiftly from its sheath and swiftly slashes his opponent across their torso, usually without warning, as it is a spontaneous technique in nature. The result is splitting the target from was to waist, causing the target to be completely bisected. Even larger targets, such as Large demons are susceptible to this move.
Martial Arts Mastery: As Zanjutsu incorporates numerous traditional schools of martial arts, known as koryū, Zefonse can be viewed as a master of the martial arts; modeling his own style, with its numerous sub-categories of schools and styles he has learned throughout the years, off of the principles and teachings he has received throughout his centuries of experience. He can effectively employ three of the traditional martial arts schools which deal with swordsmanship, Kenjutsu, Kendo, and Iaido, in such a way, that he can use it almost exclusively in combat against his foes and nearly win. In addition to this, he is highly knowledgeable of martial arts that do not deal with swordsmanship, such as Taekwondo and Bāguàzhǎng, and even the hard and soft philosophies of martial arts, both for his own enlightenment and also to allow himself to understand the movements and techniques of his foe's own special skills. The most basic of techniques, a simple thrust for example, can be deadly, able to split the pillars of the castlesi during his years as Arsts. He is also incredibly flexible, with superb dexterity, able to to perform swift flips and roll’s while fighting. In addition to this, he can create an endless amount of techniques which can be applied well within the various parameters of his fighting style, as well as adapting pre existing techniques to his style.
Body structure: Zefonse has a very unique circulatory system, the brain has a separate circulation. This allows for a higher blood pressure in the rest of the body without damaging the fine network of blood vessels in the brain. This allows Zefonse to live with blood pressures that would normally kill a human. The ability to create and survive such high blood pressure has certain advantages. The blood can be transported through the body faster, and thus, oxygen and other nutrients are transported quicker and waste products are removed faster. This special circulatory system is part of why Zefonse is so strong. It allows the organs and muscles to work harder and thus increase the muscle capacity.Zefonse has a 5-part heart consists of 2 auricles and 3 ventricles. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart through the lungs. From there, it goes back to the heart and into the left auricle. From here, it goes in to the 2 ventricles that are connected to it. One pumps it into the body, and the other pumps it into the brain at a much lower pressure. When the blood has gone through the body and the brain, it goes back to the right side of the heart and the cycle starts again.Zefonse skeleton is stronger than our own, although it is made mostly of Calcium, which our bones are constructed of as well. His skeleton is now vastly stronger due to its firm build. The bones are much denser than our own, and are heavier. Partially due to the oxygen rich blood, Zefonse doesn't seem to have the problem of calcification, a process that makes bones more fragile over time. This also allows the bones to reinforce their structure naturally and also because their body uses more carbon in making the bone, which makes it just as flexible as, and stronger than, human bone tissue, but about 3-4 times more dense and 5-6 times more heavy. The reason Zefonse physical strength are much stronger compared to a even powerful human's is due partially to the fact that the muscles have a much more efficient nutrient and waste product transport, and that the muscle fibers are prismoidal and triangular, as opposed to a human's round muscle fibers. This allows more muscle to fit in the same amount of space, and due to the larger size, attributes to the greater strength. Speaking of the bones, thanks to Z-Energy Foundation his bones are now stronger than steel. This not only makes them very powerful, but also makes his internal body virtually indestructible; the bones can withstand even more damage before breaking compared to other people.

Bio Android Unique Bonus:
Saiyan:
Zenkai is an ability that is genetically exclusive to Saiyans. The ability is a genetic trait that allows a Saiyan's power to increase substantially after recovering from near fatal injuries. This trait is not exclusive to pure-blooded Saiyans like the lack of hair growth is, as even clones with partial Saiyan genetic data have this ability as well. Examples are half-breed Saiyans, such as Gohan, and the biological menace Cell. Zefonse Zenkai is no different, depended on the damage taken, when he recovers, he gains more power to fight another day.
On taking serious, life-threatening damage in battle those with saiyan blood can gain a zenkai upon recovering from these injuries, which can cause rapid increases in power. Nietzsche would be proud.
Namekian:
Regeneration is an ability that allows its user to replace limbs lost in battle and recover from similar severe damage.
Namekians DNA allows Zefonse to heal from virtually any damage from small cuts, to having his entire body blown apart, he can regenerate as long his brain isn't destroyed by blast. This drains Ki from Zefonse while he use it, among other things, he can "die" if someone prices his brain and kept the object in there he would be a in a "Dead" state. Zefonse can also control what part of his body he want to regenerate, such as lungs if they get crushed, his healing rate, also can be quicken by using more Ki than needed to fully recover his physical bodies. For example, healing while being attacked, to make it seem he escaped unharmed, when in reality he healed his body during the attack. This makes fighting Zefonse more difficult, since he can in his own way "auto-heal" himself but still suffers a reasonable amount of Ki drain
Human:
Due to often being physically weaker than the opposition, humans have managed to adapt to this by being able to create techniques at a faster rate, every 4000 battle-power gained as opposed to 6000.
Zefonse is note to be a being that can learn, and grow stronger after every battle. He grasps the basic control of advanced techniques in week's where it would take several years for even the most of people. He may even learn techniques by sheer instinct. And master advance forms within a few day's and enhance it over the years. While it took him a while to understand his own basic's, once he experience the outside world, he shall vastly change.
Offensive
Xīng[N1]:This skill concentrates the Ki which is noted to be giving off intense heat, created from Zefonse into the sword along the edge of the blade. It neither burns nor erupts, but anything it touches is eradicate, or at the very least devastated by the heat, thus giving it a red fire-like aura. The physical strikes made onto the opponent will be drastically enhanced, capable of cutting through extremely durable defense and even stopping other enhanced cutting blades with painful ease. Zefonse can “shut off” the move allowing him to use the blade normally. There is also is noticeable by his mood, his normal calm and stoic self, the aura seems to move peacefully, yet when angered, the fire like aura rage’s forth like an inferno, becoming even more intense in appearance. This enhance cutting effect stays till the end of thread, only growing more powerful each use.
Xing: [UP2]However from this single move, he has one other methods to use it, both of which is the same in name, and power. The first and so far only other method, and Zefonse most used attack. His blade shall start to glow with an intense vortex of power like mighty flames of a sun ,that can erase all before it appeared from the blade very core, forming a shape of a sphere, and expanding till it was the size of person chest in height, and in mass was heavier than anything physically possible for a normal warrior to swing, as it gathers the heat in this vortex of power, Zefonse must hold his blade downwards before striking, then as he swings up unleashes the very sphere towards his target, once it hits something it covers the foe fully buried in a vortex of pure heat, following that Zefonse shall leap towards the sphere itself and slice it in two, as he lands, the sphere shall becoming a mighty explosion, engulfing the target. Normally can cause massive damage, however it is very easy to dodge, do the time it takes to perform it.
Support

Absorption: Absorbs 33% of PL from a target. Takes 3 turns of absorption to fully eat the target.

Personality:
Zefonse carries a powerful presence, noted for his stoic and inscrutable disposition. Despite how imposing he seems, Zefonse was well-loved among his people for being a kind and hands-on ruler. He took large amounts of time each day to have open audiences with anyone who wishes to speak with him, and he often looks into problems personally. Zefonse lives by a philosophy that it is the duty of the strong to protect and guide the weak. He cares deeply for the well-being and happiness of his citizens, whether that be the people of othersr, later, all people of his kingdom, and in his own words, will "crush anyone who dares to harm [his] people". He is passionate when it comes to his beliefs, going to great lengths to uphold them.
Zefonse is not very boastful of his kind; he believes that one's reputation must come from their own actions, not their birthrights. He is seen as cool and calm, and able to process any information he may receive, no matter how shocking or disappointing it may be. Zefonse often appears indifferent, and rarely shows any emotions other than slight annoyance or dissatisfaction on certain subjects. Having the ambition to walk the path that others fear to go. Zefonse is very proud of his own skill, but his arrogance and overconfidence are one of his major flaws. He possesses a very powerful sense of self. When enemies witness his power in battle they can do nothing but wither and stagger before his might, finding that he’s more than simple talk. He tends to be a rather selfless and straightforward man, and will rarely indulge in the company of others. He is also one of the most proficient combatants in existence. When he does speak, he's fairly serious, however he is known to speak how far beneath others are compared to him. An example would be when he tells someone that fear is a natural reaction of being alive. Surprisingly, Zefonse has been shown to give unusual suffixes of his own creations to his teammates; examples being Sei-kai(King), Rya-tō(Brother in Arms), Tema-koro(Sister), and Hai-baku(Honorable foe). What many of these mean in terms of respect is rather highly. Zefonse is composed, receptive, analytically, and prefers normally not to engage in combat; he is content on silently observing both parties until the fighting reaches its conclusion, and actually fights only when he is challenged and attacked by an opponent. Zefonse when he does not hold high respect; he calls them by his given name which is considered very rude in Japanese society. Despite this, he gets mildly offended when others commented that his foe was weak and worthless, even going as far as to defend them. He is quite respectful, particularly to the fallen and the dead. Perhaps as a consequence of his age.
His staggering power is simultaneously reigned in and enhanced by his fierce unshakeable conscience and indomitable spirit. His most remarkable ability is his will to succeed, pushing himself beyond his limitations, and never giving up even when the odds are stacked against him. This will is what created the God Of Battle. As he has aged and wizened, he has been able to, for the most part, internalize these emotions, and display a calm and cool mind in the majority of his activities. He is well-renowned for his kind and compassionate behavior, which extends to his subordinates, friends, and family. During his time as a commander in the war, his troops had the highest morale in the army. Primarily because Zefonse considered his staff and officers as part of his family and treated them as such. As a leader, he was brilliant, leading his division with confidence, determination, and resolve which only served to boost the morale even further. Zefonse desires, above all else, to protect those he values most, and shall do whatever the means to get to that goal. It was this desire that lead him to become a great king and lead him to master his powers to this point. He is known to drive himself to insane lengths to achieve the power necessary to protect those he cares for, even as far as risking his soul to reach to what he has become. Even as far to discard his original name to become something new.
In battle,Zefonse is generally laid back and analytical, a trait that can easily unnerve opponents. When his comrades or family are in danger, he'd rather resolve matters through battle than diplomacy. At the same time, Zefonse has a profound sense of honor, refusing to kill an opponent that can no longer fight to defend themselves as well refuses to use his full power unless needed, but this is also due to his own smug ego that appeared over the years from his overwhelming power. Zefonse possesses incredible clarity of perception, to an almost unrealistic degree, allowing him to easily recognize illusions and different forms ofl energy. He is also able to pick up on subtle details, enabling him to read lip movements and even mimic something like fast movements. Zefonse has an additional "ability" to track fast-moving objects, showing off immense predictive capabilities. In other words, Zefonse is capable of predicting the movements of his opponents, to the point where the opponent likens it to "seeing the future". This combined with his analytical skills allows him to figure out the pro and cons of everything he faces with ease.
Zefonse most feared traits is by far his incredible mind, being able to accurately imagine how situations will develop and innately analyze details. He even has the ability to perform complex mental operations beyond those of a normal human mind. His mind enables them to learn at much faster rates than an average or even intelligent Human in his time. His mental abilities allow him to; acquire knowledge at a much faster rate and determine quick solutions to immediate problems/threats. When his intellect is combined with Hakuda and his swordsmanship, he is a force unlike any other, when he became King, this helped him with political matter’s .
When he was younger and went by the name Arst Outway,he was incredibly light hearted and free-spirited. He seemed to enjoy the world around him. He felt weak being unable to use anything. He was also calm and wise, being able to solve problems by speaking in a soothing tone. However, he was not above making jokes during difficult times and act sarcastic in the face of danger. He was friendly and caring as well, easily making friends with almost everyone he meets. This has made him a very popular and likable individual in what became his Kingdom. His skill with the blade went down as “Sword Fiend” He deeply cared for and loved his family and friends, being ready to defend them without hesitation. One of his most dominate and defining traits in his personality was his natural charisma that will allow him to make a friend out of everyone he meets but if not at the least their respect and/or interest. He was flirty with women, occasionally asking a few out on a date. When he was a kid, he was very active and playful, and loved climbing on trees. That earned him the nickname “Monkey”.
His favorite dish is chocolate parfait. He likes all kinds of sweets. He dislikes spicy food. He likes alcohol and usually holds his liquor really well, but very rare and hard to make whisky inexplicably makes him drunk really fast. He talks like a Katz when he’s drunk.
Despite his imposing look, he’s actually pretty good with kids. He is bad with technology. It took him ages to get used to a cell phone. That said, he’s actually a fast typer once he got the hang of it, but sometimes still makes mistakes like trying to type the message in the header etc. Zefonse is a sword maniac often collecting and going into detail about certain blades when given the chance. He often looks serious but has a sense of humor and makes jokes when the situation calls for it. People never know whether he’s joking or not however.
History:
Arts was an orphaned infant born atop a pile of hard straw during the disastrous era of time when Kami has yet created the dragon balls, who along with several other discard babies was given to a livestock of wild Monster like pigs to be used as food for the carnivorous pigs during the starving times, however Arts was luckily born with a natural gift and instead proved to be a competent predator even in infancy, and was thus made the Pig like monsters leave him alone, feeding off the the land.
Learning to survive in the wild like an animal. Once he reached childhood, he proved to be a fast and wild child who often stole food from nearby settlements in order to survive, often running from townsfolk who were not only angered by his thefts but who also feared him due to his ability to survive amongst the Monster Pigs.
Growing up he had an insatiable appetite that would not be satisfied no matter how much he stole or what he ate (even if it was sand or tree bark) and sometimes he would pass out from his uncontrollable hunger. Eventually however, his wild life as a thieving young predator came to an end when the hunger grew to much to handle. after finally collapsing from starvation, he found by some nearby Monks who took him to the early settlement for food and to train with them in return. However Arsts back then was unable to perform any actions beyond wielding a blade. So instead he trained endlessly to master the blade as a child, as time past by the child became a teen. He felt being out of place as if his body was somehow different from the others. When a grand and terrible war appeared he was made a commander in battle thanks to his skill, they had the highest moral of any squad in this war. However as the war neared its end. he felt empty even when his skill with the blade felt unmatched, even gaining the title “God Of Battle” For his efforts, he felt to out of place with this world. When his army slowly changed into a kingdom, he shifted his efforts to learning the many different styles of combat his people knew, by hosting local tournaments, joining the battle itself unarmed to better understand martial arts, it took many years for him to become strong in all styles he faced. However around this time rumors of a strange dragon that lived in the fiery center of the Earth, and shall grant a single wish. At first disbelieving such a thing could exist Arsts tried to ignore such rumors, but after years of hearing about it, decided to hunt these strange items needed to call this dragon. The journey was long, harsh, unforgiving to his small squad of soldiers hunting the lands for these items. However his time it took to find even one was too long. Time took its toll on Arsts, his body weakening from illness, and countless wounds from the travels. His final journey while “alive” took him to the frozen waste of the south, he was alone now. With every step his body start to give in to the harsh world. Just when he thought he finally saw the strange item need to summon this grand wish giving dragon, a crystalline sphere, his body finally gave in the frozen waste. The land cracked around him, as the ice under him broke, and his body fell into the icy sea.
Now normally this is where one soul found itself in Heaven or Hell, however Arsts soul never left its earthy body, as his body froze over slowly decaying over the ages that had past, Arsts just felt like he was half awake, everything was a blurr. Unknown to time, he was lost in his own personal limbo, banished from death, and the world of the living. Just how many ages had past in this horrid state of being, before his body was recovered at the bottom of the frozen waste where his life had ended? Some sort of private military force was looking for dead bodies for inhuman experiment, this army not only repaired the damages done by time, and the long exposure to the elements, but restored it back to his prime, then started to use his body in a project known as the Z-Energy Foundation. They first experimented to see what was compatable with his body, they found that the Namekians regeneration was beyond just 100% compatible with his DNA, but also the infamous Zenkai, and remains of a more humans into the once powerful King body, along with a countless number of other additions to his body to make him into a powerful Bio- Android, however the head scientist believing the body to be nothing more than a brain dead vegetable who would pose no threat to them. Arsts felt the pain his body went through countless times before awakening to this new age, in control of his own body.
He awoke days later in a strange and foreign land, yet he felt at home, this strange place was filled with wonder of things he has never seen in his time. He heard people talking, but thanks to the changes of time, the language barrier was strong, till he noticed he could understand them as clear as day after just a mere moment. Confused, he stumbled around the lab, as the army gathered forces to attack him, to put him under their control. However he proved a little to skilled for them, and overpowered them vastly thanks to the newfound abilities. After knocking them out, and finding his old armor, also restored in the lab, he left the lab. Finding himself in the same frozen waste where he had died so long ago. But now it felt like cold wasn’t even there. He rushed out as fast he could before more strange machines, followed him. He crossed land that when he was a mere human, would of took months, even years to travel, and crossed them in mere minutes. He came across cities, vastly confused by how time had changed everything, he kept running, and running to find his kingdom once again. However when he entered his former homeland, and only stood as forest, not even a building remained. Just how long was he gone he wondered. He even moved digged for hours, only finding a single sword of his kingdom left. In this confusion and sadness Arsts found out, he had a “memory” banked of events that had happened. and spent days reading about them. So not only his kingdom, but also the very heavens he looked upon had changed. His original name would have no more meaning in this age of new things to experience. He took the very project that made him the Z-Energy Foundation and created the name Zefonse, his last name Kaizme came from combination of the stars his peopled worshiped meaning new start, and hope. Carrying this blade, he traveled back to the lab, that held him, and sliced at the building, demanding answers, but he never got a answered, he refused to kill any of them. and they couldn't hold him because he was far too skilled for them. Zefonse now returned to the forest, and practice his new found powers and skills, in the isolated forests, living off the land for a few years, till he finally wanted to explore the new age, travel the new earth, visit the stars. However in one of his journeys to the city, he accidentally stole a suit that he wears a “Citizen”
Fightning style
Grand Master Swordsmanship Specialist: Zefonse is very efficient in swordsmanship, being able to fight on-par with very powerful being. He is capable of using his speed for flawless precision and to inflict lethal attacks without much effort. Zefonse prefers to wield his sword with his right hand, leaving the other hand free though it usually remains hanging. He is quite adept at blocking while his offense is capable of great precision. His fighting style also involves evasion and attacking an opponent either in the front or back using the element of surprise to overwhelm them. His skills are very versatile, able to use various bladed weapons with high proficiency. He is ambidextrous and can change his fighting style at a whim — keeping his opponents unsure as to his next move. A master of many Kendō combat forms, Zeofnse draws his opponents in, fighting less than his true capability, and then striking the fatal blow when his opponents believe to have the advantage over him. As a grandmaster of Swordsmanship, Zefonse is naturally a master of the general art of Kenjutsu, having mastered its most basic principles to the point in which they alone cause mortal wounds should they be successful. His feigns (usually Iaido) are so fast and spontaneous, he can create several openings in a foe in just one movement; a utilization of his scared, footwork, and center of gravity. Applied effectively, the opponent is set-back one move, while creating an opening elsewhere. Unlike other swordsmen, and any known master of Zanjutsu, Zefonse, adhering to the traditional teachings of Kenjutsu, aims for his foe's sword hand or arm in an attempt to disable and/or disarm his foe of their weapon, and creating large openings from which to deliver the killing blow. There are some attacks, however, that do not require a preceding subterfuge to create the necessary opening for attack. Zefonse refers to these as his "quick strikes" (迅速殴打, jinsoku ōda). They are done with one hands on the sword, much like his various Kendo techniques, or with a sword in each hand, thanks to the unique manifestation of his new self. One hand is at the base of the handle to provide longer reach, while the other hand is at the ridge of the blade to provide the initial force to flick the sword as quick as an arrow to hit the target. This could also be done with his unique sword’, with one sword providing the push for the dispatch. He usually hides these postures from his opponents, and the ready positions are implemented while switching hands or while changing steps. These flicking strikes can be administered from any angle (from the top, sides, or below). The only time he aims for his opponent's weapon or itself, is when parrying; merely in attempt to knock his foe's blade away to allow him to deliver a more powerful thrust of his own. When parrying, Zefonse always directs the point of the sword to the target. This minimizes the step usually needed for him to be able to counter-attack. Thus, his opponent is at an immediate disadvantage. Also, using the quick strike at the opponents sword hand or forearm, as he usually would do in one of his thrusting techniques, will normaly incapacitate the opponent's attack before having to parry it. By keeping the point of his scared pointed towards his opponent while attempting to parry in all angles, provide him with a good foundation for an appropriate counter maneuver reflexes. His ability to employ all three of these aspects of the art, not only flawlessly, but, instinctively, where he doesn't even have to think about them, are a testament to his mastery of the art. His reflexes are trained to react to movements, however chaotic or unpredictable they may be, to the point that he can fight in total darkness and still effectively parry and return opponent techniques and strikes. He is also capable of taking on several opponents at once with his techniques. Because his preferred weapon is a Changdao. Zefonse is also a master of double-bladed combat and can adjust his style correctly to incorporate them into his attacks and parries. Zefonse use of the art of Kendō, is considered a master of the art in every way. Because of his masterful command of the art, he is known as a "kendōka" (剣道家, those who practice Kendo). It is primarily a two-handed sword art, with tremendous power behind it. The purpose of Kendō is to throw off a target's determination and test their resolve. A weakening of resolve usually produces several openings from which Zefonse can exploit to deliver a killing blow. Unlike other’s Zefonse mixes his Kendō in with his traditional Zanjutsu and Kenjutsu fighting, usually using Kendō techniques as finishing moves, or as a opening attack. His Kendō, in particular, is feared as the strongest among any practitioner from his era, as he is able to use it to cut through people. His Kendo strikes are so powerful, they can easily slice through large debris, and even the metal that compassed the lab that had reborn him.They also have a tremendous amount of concussive force behind them, able to create a large explosion of air pressure after each and every swing.He can have so much precision that the cut of extreme force and speed he create’s, casually slice through large, multi-story high opponents. Another traditional Japanese school of swordsmanship in which Zefonse has practiced in his pursuit of swordsmanship mastery. "Iaijutsu" (居合術, Art of Drawing the Sword), focuses primarily on drawing the sword in such a way that it can actually be used as a combative art. Iaido is primarily used as a feigning technique, meant to surprise an opponent before using more traditional Kenjutsu or Zanjutsu to deal damage, or Kendo to finish an opponent off. He can also use it as a disarming technique, for example, drawing his sword so fast, he can strike his target with the hilt, knocking the wind out of them and taking them out of a fight before the fight really begins. His Iaido strikes are so incredibly fast and spontaneous, defending against them could result in maiming or, in more severe cases, broken bones and even death. Zefonse can move his so sword swiftly from its sheath and swiftly slashes his opponent across their torso, usually without warning, as it is a spontaneous technique in nature. The result is splitting the target from was to waist, causing the target to be completely bisected. Even larger targets, such as Large demons are susceptible to this move.
Martial Arts Mastery: As Zanjutsu incorporates numerous traditional schools of martial arts, known as koryū, Zefonse can be viewed as a master of the martial arts; modeling his own style, with its numerous sub-categories of schools and styles he has learned throughout the years, off of the principles and teachings he has received throughout his centuries of experience. He can effectively employ three of the traditional martial arts schools which deal with swordsmanship, Kenjutsu, Kendo, and Iaido, in such a way, that he can use it almost exclusively in combat against his foes and nearly win. In addition to this, he is highly knowledgeable of martial arts that do not deal with swordsmanship, such as Taekwondo and Bāguàzhǎng, and even the hard and soft philosophies of martial arts, both for his own enlightenment and also to allow himself to understand the movements and techniques of his foe's own special skills. The most basic of techniques, a simple thrust for example, can be deadly, able to split the pillars of the castlesi during his years as Arsts. He is also incredibly flexible, with superb dexterity, able to to perform swift flips and roll’s while fighting. In addition to this, he can create an endless amount of techniques which can be applied well within the various parameters of his fighting style, as well as adapting pre existing techniques to his style.
Body structure: Zefonse has a very unique circulatory system, the brain has a separate circulation. This allows for a higher blood pressure in the rest of the body without damaging the fine network of blood vessels in the brain. This allows Zefonse to live with blood pressures that would normally kill a human. The ability to create and survive such high blood pressure has certain advantages. The blood can be transported through the body faster, and thus, oxygen and other nutrients are transported quicker and waste products are removed faster. This special circulatory system is part of why Zefonse is so strong. It allows the organs and muscles to work harder and thus increase the muscle capacity.Zefonse has a 5-part heart consists of 2 auricles and 3 ventricles. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart through the lungs. From there, it goes back to the heart and into the left auricle. From here, it goes in to the 2 ventricles that are connected to it. One pumps it into the body, and the other pumps it into the brain at a much lower pressure. When the blood has gone through the body and the brain, it goes back to the right side of the heart and the cycle starts again.Zefonse skeleton is stronger than our own, although it is made mostly of Calcium, which our bones are constructed of as well. His skeleton is now vastly stronger due to its firm build. The bones are much denser than our own, and are heavier. Partially due to the oxygen rich blood, Zefonse doesn't seem to have the problem of calcification, a process that makes bones more fragile over time. This also allows the bones to reinforce their structure naturally and also because their body uses more carbon in making the bone, which makes it just as flexible as, and stronger than, human bone tissue, but about 3-4 times more dense and 5-6 times more heavy. The reason Zefonse physical strength are much stronger compared to a even powerful human's is due partially to the fact that the muscles have a much more efficient nutrient and waste product transport, and that the muscle fibers are prismoidal and triangular, as opposed to a human's round muscle fibers. This allows more muscle to fit in the same amount of space, and due to the larger size, attributes to the greater strength. Speaking of the bones, thanks to Z-Energy Foundation his bones are now stronger than steel. This not only makes them very powerful, but also makes his internal body virtually indestructible; the bones can withstand even more damage before breaking compared to other people.
Starting Planet: Earth

Bio Android Unique Bonus:
Saiyan:
Zenkai is an ability that is genetically exclusive to Saiyans. The ability is a genetic trait that allows a Saiyan's power to increase substantially after recovering from near fatal injuries. This trait is not exclusive to pure-blooded Saiyans like the lack of hair growth is, as even clones with partial Saiyan genetic data have this ability as well. Examples are half-breed Saiyans, such as Gohan, and the biological menace Cell. Zefonse Zenkai is no different, depended on the damage taken, when he recovers, he gains more power to fight another day.
On taking serious, life-threatening damage in battle those with saiyan blood can gain a zenkai upon recovering from these injuries, which can cause rapid increases in power. Nietzsche would be proud.
Namekian:
Regeneration is an ability that allows its user to replace limbs lost in battle and recover from similar severe damage.
Namekians DNA allows Zefonse to heal from virtually any damage from small cuts, to having his entire body blown apart, he can regenerate as long his brain isn't destroyed by blast. This drains Ki from Zefonse while he use it, among other things, he can "die" if someone prices his brain and kept the object in there he would be a in a "Dead" state. Zefonse can also control what part of his body he want to regenerate, such as lungs if they get crushed, his healing rate, also can be quicken by using more Ki than needed to fully recover his physical bodies. For example, healing while being attacked, to make it seem he escaped unharmed, when in reality he healed his body during the attack. This makes fighting Zefonse more difficult, since he can in his own way "auto-heal" himself but still suffers a reasonable amount of Ki drain
Human:
Due to often being physically weaker than the opposition, humans have managed to adapt to this by being able to create techniques at a faster rate, every 4000 battle-power gained as opposed to 6000.
Zefonse is note to be a being that can learn, and grow stronger after every battle. He grasps the basic control of advanced techniques in week's where it would take several years for even the most of people. He may even learn techniques by sheer instinct. And master advance forms within a few day's and enhance it over the years. While it took him a while to understand his own basic's, once he experience the outside world, he shall vastly change.
Offensive
Xīng[N1]:This skill concentrates the Ki which is noted to be giving off intense heat, created from Zefonse into the sword along the edge of the blade. It neither burns nor erupts, but anything it touches is eradicate, or at the very least devastated by the heat, thus giving it a red fire-like aura. The physical strikes made onto the opponent will be drastically enhanced, capable of cutting through extremely durable defense and even stopping other enhanced cutting blades with painful ease. Zefonse can “shut off” the move allowing him to use the blade normally. There is also is noticeable by his mood, his normal calm and stoic self, the aura seems to move peacefully, yet when angered, the fire like aura rage’s forth like an inferno, becoming even more intense in appearance. This enhance cutting effect stays till the end of thread, only growing more powerful each use.
Xing: [UP2]However from this single move, he has one other methods to use it, both of which is the same in name, and power. The first and so far only other method, and Zefonse most used attack. His blade shall start to glow with an intense vortex of power like mighty flames of a sun ,that can erase all before it appeared from the blade very core, forming a shape of a sphere, and expanding till it was the size of person chest in height, and in mass was heavier than anything physically possible for a normal warrior to swing, as it gathers the heat in this vortex of power, Zefonse must hold his blade downwards before striking, then as he swings up unleashes the very sphere towards his target, once it hits something it covers the foe fully buried in a vortex of pure heat, following that Zefonse shall leap towards the sphere itself and slice it in two, as he lands, the sphere shall becoming a mighty explosion, engulfing the target. Normally can cause massive damage, however it is very easy to dodge, do the time it takes to perform it.
