-This is set before the Tournament-
Azurai had spent the last 3 days training and working his body furiously pushing himself to all his limits. Teaching himself how to control his strength, improving on his technique and gaining as much experience in fighting as he could was what these 4 days were all about. And Azurai was almost there. To complete his training all Azurai needed was a proper fight. A fight that could put everything he had learned over the last 3 days to the test. If Azurai was going to win this tournament he needed to try his best to become as strong as possible. Azurai needed a spar partner for the day. Azurai sat in the training grounds that the Tournament officials had set up for the fighters needing to train before the tournament. Meditating in the center of the field carefully watching those train around him Azurai awaited an opponent that he knew would push his limits. No-one around him was strong enough yet. Azurai needed an opponent that would push him. An opponent that would use all of their energy to attempt to defeat Azurai plus a little more. Azurai patiently waited for a potential challenger, and believe me he would wait all day if he had to.

Kabu was flying through the air once again trying to get a feel for his original home-world. However he stumbles upon what looked like a group of fighters and he could tell that they were far more powerful than he. He became still, floating in the air watching all of them train. It seemed that some type of get together was happening. Kabu shook his head as he had no time to sit and watch, but as he turned around he saw a lone warrior sitting completely still as if waiting on something.
Kabu stared this warrior down and eventually decided to go and speak to him. He swooped in as fast as he could landing a few feet away from the powerful warrior. Kabu didn't know how to approach him and just stood there watching the warrior. The warrior hadn't noticed Kabu yet as Kabu looked over the detail in the fighter's robes. Kabu knew he was no match for the fighter, but he couldn't quell the urge to challenge him to a fight. It was as if it was in his blood to do so. Kabu took six small steps toward the warrior and was maybe only three feet away. He was sure that this would catch the warrior's eye.

Azurai continued to meditate in the center of the field awaiting a potential opponent. Using his new-found Ki Sense ability Azurai was able to detect the strength of every warrior in the vicinity and still, no-one was strong enough for Azurai to take on. Azurai patiently continued to wait. After a few minutes of waiting Azurai began to feel a high Power Level close by. Immediately opening his eyes to scan the area Azurai looked far and wide but wasn't able to find this mysterious stranger. Upon searching Azurai noticed a man walking towards him at only three feet away. The man looked very different from the other fighters training in this grassy field. Upon scanning the man's power Azurai realized that the high power level belonged to the man in front of him. With the knowledge that this man had a decent power level Azurai was quick to stand up and approach him.
"Uhh hello there, you look like you know a thing or two about fighting..."
Azurai awkwardly spoke to the man while itching the back of his head. Azurai had put plenty of thought into the type of opponent he wished to fight for the day but hadn't put any thought into how he would approach the man in front of him. Azurai felt like this would turn into a disaster.

The warrior approached Kabu initiating conversation. Kabu tried his best to contain himself as the man in front of him was far beyond Kabu's power. Kabu could feel the power just oozing out of the man in front of him. Kabu tried his best not to become intimidated by him. His father always told him be afraid of no man and always remain brave and strong. Kabu popped the joints in his hands and then his neck. "Yes, I know a bit about the art of hand to hand combat. However, I feel that you know much more than I if you power is any indication. Your energy can be easily felt among these other warrior's, and I can honestly say you're one of the strongest if not the strongest warrior out here."
Kabu didn't know how to go about it, but he decided it would be best to just go on ahead and do it. Kabu waited a bit before turning away and creating a bit more space between the two. He looked the warrior across from him in his eyes and knew what he was doing was the right thing to do. Kabu spread his feet and assumed his fighting stance. His right arm was extended out pass his left as his left fist rested on the joint of his right arm. It was a weird fighting stance, but there is a reason behind all things. "Sir, I know not your name and I ask that you forgive me for being impolite. However being the warrior that you are, I ask that you allow me to fight you. Yes, I am no match for you yet I can learn much and gain more. What do you say? We fight?"
Kabu's blood was on fire and sweat beads formed on his brow. The fight hasn't even begun, but the anxiety was there. It was the first time he was excited about anything in quite some time. The docile life on Namek had softened his stone heart and made him lazy. This man... this warrior... he would be the goal for Kabu. He has what Kabu's father had and that was power. Kabu braced himself as power isn't everything, but it's one helluva start.

Azurai felt flattered by the man's words, but also intrigued. The man obviously had the ability to sense another person's Ki which meant he definitely had more experience in fighting, or at least martial arts, than he let on. Azurai assumed that the man was that of a humble nature and continued to listen to the man speak, after all he may have a potential sparring partner here.
"Sir, I know not your name and I ask that you forgive me for being impolite. However being the warrior that you are, I ask that you allow me to fight you. Yes, I am no match for you yet I can learn much and gain more. What do you say? We fight?"
The man seemed quite genuine and straight to the point. Azurai had already came to enjoy the man's company and his big grin would probably let the man know this. Azurai brushed the grass and dirt off of his clothing while responding to the man. Azurai didn't want to be dirty for his big fight after all.
"Hehe, I guess it was rude for me to not introduce myself. I'm Azurai. I was actually going to ask if you wanted to spar with me but it looks like you jumped straight to it! So, where shall we fight? A wasteland! No a desert? No.. I have the perfect spot! Follow me!"
Azurai turned his back to the man and marched off with excitement encouraging the man to follow him. Azurai had heard that the Tournament Grounds had another training section designed for fighters to have practice matches with other opponents in order to practice under Tournament conditions. Azurai decided that he would get the best of both worlds by fighting his new friends with the same rules that would restrict him in the Tournament. Azurai was excited.

Kabu was ready and a grin appeared about the face of the man who was now known as Azurai. He seemed overly excited and extremely eager to get the battle underway. Azurai struggled to think of the perfect location, but it seemed a spark of genius had struck him. He shot into the air requesting that Kabu follow him. Kabu would happily oblige as he had the chance to battle and learn from a great warrior. Kabu followed him faithfully and would soon catch up to Azurai not being far behind.
"Azurai, I appreciate you fighting someone so far below you. In light of this I ask that you not hold back one bit. I want this to be an actual fight, not some friendly spar where no one is seriously hurt. I want a real fight. If I am hurt and almost killed I care not. All I want is to push my limits. Can you do this for me? Oh, the name is Kabu by the way." Kabu had now made it know that he wanted no sympathy from Azurai. He wanted Azurai to pounce on him as if he had killed one of Azurai's relatives. It is the only way to go beyond the power he has now. His father always came back better than ever after a defeat and Kabu wanted to do the same. Kabu wouldn't roll over, but his chance of victory is next to none.

Azurai walked with the man towards their new location. The walk was quite long, around 5-7 minutes, and along the way he would see many fighters, civilians and tournament officials go about their business. Azurai noticed that the halls, fields and buildings of the tournament were quickly beginning to fill up as the Tournament was only a couple of days ahead of them. Azurai was both excited to fight his new friend and to participate in the tournament.
"Azurai, I appreciate you fighting someone so far below you. In light of this I ask that you not hold back one bit. I want this to be an actual fight, not some friendly spar where no one is seriously hurt. I want a real fight. If I am hurt and almost killed I care not. All I want is to push my limits. Can you do this for me? Oh, the name is Kabu by the way."
While Azurai and the man walked together the man requested that Azurai should go all out in their fight. Azurai sensed that he was quite stronger than the man he was about to Spar, and he knew the man could sense this too, but even then the man still wanted a proper fight. Azurai was itching to release the nerves and stress that came with preparing for a tournament so using this man as a relief of stress would be of no problem to Azurai. As long as Azurai didn't go over the edge like his fight with Oguma he knew that the man would be fine. After all it seemed that the man had the willpower of an army.
"That should be no problem uhhh... what was your name? Oh wait! There it is!"
Azurai spotted the building which held the training arena's off in the distance and pointed in it's direction.
"Quick lets get an arena!"
Azurai raced forward and began to run not caring if the man behind him did the same or not. Azurai wanted to make sure he and the man could get the best arena in the house. Azurai arrived at the arena's entrance and looked up in awe as the building which sheltered these arena's towered over him. Azurai took a step into the building and looked at the dozen's of arena's. Each arena was smaller in size than an actual arena used in a Tenkaichi Budokai but was still made out of the same sturdy material. Azurai spotted an un-occupied arena in the corner of the building and decided to head towards it. Upon arriving at the arena he would wait for the man.

Kabu and the man landed as a tall building was obviously near by. Azurai agreed to what Kabu wanted as he excitedly pointed at the building calling out that it was exactly what he was looking for. Suddenly Azurai took off and Kabu had no choice but to follow. Azurai was much more quicker and faster than Kabu, and that would be a help in of itself. Azurai rushed to the building with ease as Kabu does his best to keep up. Kabu began to sweat as he runs behind Azurai and stops a ways behind Azurai once he stopped to look at the building.
Azurai glanced for awhile and walked inside to find them a proper battle ground most likely. Kabu wasn't gassed out, but it did hit his stamina. Kabu decided to walk the rest of the way as the true beauty of the building begins to reveal itself to Kabu. Kabu would also stop and stare at the building because it was actually a site to behold. As he makes his way in he sees tournament like arenas. There was a battle going on in every last one of them, but there was one that was open and Azurai was waiting.
Kabu walks up to the arena knowing full well that this little spar could become horrid if he makes one wrong move. Kabu was game planning for the battle was even underway. "Okay Kabu, take your time and let it all flow naturally. Do not force offense, do not be passive, do not be overly aggressive, and do not become confident or scared. Be what you were taught to be. Look at him and learn his every move. His power is obstacle one and everything else comes after"[/i]
Kabu closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. His thoughts and game plan ran through his head over and over. He would have to be on his A game the entire time without a single slip up. That would prove most difficult as he doesn't possess anything to keep up with Azurai, but the afterlife would be a figment of the imagination if Kabu wouldn't break his neck trying. Kabu once again assumes his fighting stance and prepares for battle.
"Are you ready? I rather not waste any more time." Kabu then signals for Azurai to make the first move. The battle would begin and Kabu has no choice but to be ready.

Hello Pres, Kabu was my first character, but he got lost in the shuffle and I never tried to get em back. However, I would like to reinstate him in some way if possible.

I would suggest that for you keeping just the one character now would be your best option, so you're not spread too thin. However, we could possibly give Kabu's previous earnings to Tsumuri, including that stuff in the registration post. That would mean:
3052 pl from registration story 400pl from beginners post 1050pl from this thread.
However for your fight with Pieter we'll need to keep things fair, meaning you'd either still be limited to your pre-grade amount, or restricted to a value within his accessible pl. Also! and this one is important: The next vote once Serori's adminship vote is done will be on whether this should be allowed - so it's not a done deal just yet.
If however you'd really prefer to instead bring Kabu back, then all you'd need to do is recreate the account. I believe if you use the same name it will even re-associate your posts. ((btw we'll still have the vote anyway))

No I would have an easier time with managing just Tsumuri. Hopefully the vote is in my favor if not then that's fine. However, if not then would the pl from this thread go to Tsu by default or no??? Hmm, well of to the saga once again
