Gleciar was walking around the tournament grounds, the next day would be the first round, he had heard Kaula, Lady Death, another Saiyan and the Empress of the Arcosians herself was going to participate. He had never seen her, he hadnt even heard her name, but it would be pretty obvious once the battles started. This could be a once in a lifetime chance to comfront her, but he would have to be carefull, he couldnt be rash about it, he didnt want to get killed.
He looked at the sky noticing the full moon, this would be terrible if he where to fight one of the Saiyans, but he could deal with it... Maybe, what mattered then was finding anything he could use to get an advantage in the fight. As he walked around the ring he noticed a powerfull Ki.
He walked up to it and saw an Arcosian woman, she was stunning and powerfull, he couldnt move more a few seconds, but he couldnt act like a coward, he had no idea who this person was, but maybe she wasnt like the others of his kind, maybe she was like him, he build up all his courage and finally approached her. "Hello? What are you doing around here so late, miss?"

((Set one day prior to the Tournament. PL of 123,444.)) Wyntre was prepared for tomorrow. She was prepared for the day in which she would leave earth, possible to never return. Not only was she prepared to leave the planet which she had stayed on for far too long for reasons she wasn't exactly sure on herself, not only was she prepared to say goodbye to the stunning views and the acceptable food, not only was she prepared to say goodbye to its people, she was prepared for something above all of those, maybe even combined. She was prepared to end the seemingly permanent vacation and face true responsibility. She was prepared, knowing that any of her future actions, no matter how minuscule, could spell complete victory... or defeat. She was prepared, knowing that her actions, coupled with the maddening actions of all else, would change the universe. The entire universe. 25,814PL. Oh, who did that belong to? Was that one of the beings she would have to defeat tomorrow? Perhaps not, perhaps so. She turned, clearly seeing that it, after having asked his question, was another Arcosian. "Only remembering events that hadn't occurred yet, nothing important. Who are you?"

Gleciar rubbed the back of his head bashfully, from this close she was even more stunning than from far away, not only that, the tone of her voice was incredibly comanding, it made him comply to answer almost instantly."Oh, sorry. Where are my manners? My name is Gleciar. What might yours be?" As he said this he approached her for a handshake. This Arcosian seemed so powerfull and regal, he wasnt sure if she'd accept, but he might as well give it a try.

Gleciar, the Arcosian of which she had just learnt the name of, had seemed quite nice. Many of the Arcosians of Earth she had met previously had ended badly in some way or another. He had answered quickly, and something had told Wyntre than Gleciar was no ordinary Arcosian. That's alright. No Arcosian is 'ordinary'. Even the weakest among them is extraordinary. In response to his attempt to get a handshake, she merely brought out her hand, expecting Gleciar to kiss it, as it was common courtesy.
"I am Empress Wyntre of Arcose, she who will make the Universe many shades greater. Are you of Noble Blood, Glaciar?" she asked, settling on the cheesiest title she had chosen for herself.

He was surpriced that the Arcosian in front of him had also extended her hand for a handshake, so he grabbed it like she was a normal person and shook her hand until she said her name. This made him instantly let her hand go and take a step back as he repeatedly blinked. Quickly he got serious again, but not as cheerful as before. "Sorry, if that was disrespectfull, i had no idea it was you." He saw with a small bow. "And no, i am no royal, i was a middle class citizen. No that it matters anyway... I dont concider myself an Arcosian anyway, not since i was a kid anyway..." He looked around, making sure there was no guards or anything of that type around. "Im sorry i bothered you, but i imagine you wont want to deal with someone like me... Im sorry for making you lose your time." As he started turning around he remembered something. "If you dont mind... Why are you even entering this tournament? I dont think you would need a ship or a gravity chamber."

Wyntre laughed slightly. It wasn't an arrogant laugh, it wasn't a giggle. It wasn't faked, but just mildly amused.
"Nonsense, you are an Arcosian. You always had been, you always will be. Nothing can change who you are. However, as for your question, I am entering for two main reasons. The first reason is that I would like to remember my stay on Earth with a material object. The second reason is that these 'material objects' used to belong to me."
This, indeed was true. When she had ascended from an irresponsible, spoilt, bratty princess to an elegant, responsible and reliable Empress under the sheer pressure of what the title required her to do, she had required an upgrade in transport and training facilities. This is why, just before purchasing her top-notch ships and Gravity Chamber, she had sold her now-obsolete facilities to Pipa, a morally-questionable Namekian. Sometime after this, they had somehow become the prize of some Tournament. Somehow.

He scowled at the empress. "Well, sorry if it sounds rude, but ive lived almost my whole life among my Namekian brothers and a few other refugees from other planet. And i would much rather be considered a peacefull slug man to a mass murdering ice lizard. Furthermore there are many things you can take from this beautifull planet as a souvenir, its not like you need the ship. Many are entering are entering the competition because they actually do, for what purpouse thats a who 'nother story, but you lost it somehow, not sure if it was fair and square or was stolen, but if this just a dumb thing about pride you are being absolutely ridiculous." He was being absolutely serious and even if it was obvious that he was angry he wasnt trying to be mean spirited, just simply was benting out on her. Which was a terrible idea considering who she was. He rubbed the side of his head to calm himself. (I dont think i've ever been this angry...)

That was a shame. Wyntre had put high hopes in Gleciar, she really did. But no, Gleciar had failed. Wyntre would simply have to make his absolute ignorance apparent.
"I have a Saiyan friend, named Daiki, who had been brought up by the Namekians. Oh, you. You and your assumptions. The Arcosians are not 'mass-murdering ice lizards' as they do not murder masses, they are not lizards and they're not exactly completely related to ice at all. You've made another assumption, my, aren't you full of those. I would like to remember my stay here with a material object so that this object can remind me of my stay here. I sold the 'prize', and now I'd simply like to, besides everything else, find out why he no longer has it. You're the one being 'absolutely ridiculous', archetyping the Arcosian Species because with your assumptions. Apologize and admit you were wrong or I might have to force you."
She used the power of bukujutsu as her feet disobeyed gravity, letting her look down on the recalcitrant Arcosian With ease. If only Gleciar knew about their giant power gap... it probably wouldn't change anything, actually.

He flew up to her, not caring at all if she was trying to be intimidating or something the like. "First things first, you dont get to tell me our species isnt a bunch of mass murdering bastards when you didnt see your parents and many others slaughter a whole planet of insonent people! Specially of a species that had recently recovered from near extinction! Second, i know Daiki, he is like a brother to be and he may be a lot more tolerant than me, but thats only because he hasnt seen all the things that i have and to say the truth, im glad he hasnt. And the last thing, you know perfectly what i mean! Everyone calls us that, i know we arent, but its the insult everyone uses. And if you havent heard that its because you are nothing more than a spoiled brat! And right now i dont care if our power diference is 5 to 1, but im not gonna apologize to someone who would rather force herself on others than gain their respect in a way that makes you actually deserve it!" He had stopped caring about the ship, he was using it as an excuse not to leave so quickly, but now it was a battle of ideals, hopefully it wouldnt turn into an actual battle. But he was ready to be attacked at any second, but he was also ready to transform into his Brute form if nesesary to even the odds, at least until she transformed too, then he would be done for.

Oh wow. Gleciar must have been living under a rock for his entire life. Wyntre couldn't control herself. She laughed. Is this guy kidding? She then stopped laughing, just in time to speak.
"Oh, very funny. Don't make me laugh. You must be confused. The slaughter of innocence hasn't been a part of the Arcosian Culture for multiple decades. Don't make up stories, you've obviously deluded yourself. As for Daiki, you may be surprised to know that the Arcosian Law System recently saved him from what most other legal systems would give either a life sentence or death sentence for: I was there when Daiki was given a few days in prison instead for murder in self-defense. Look up to the skies. There is more out there than just this planet, so much out there that you don't understand, as proven by your complete lack of knowledge concerning Arcose as of late. Besides, I certainly am no 'spoiled brat', that would imply that I am both spoilt and a brat, of which I am neither. I was shut out because of my gender. I was shut out to be raised by the toughest general they could find. Yes, I was a 'spoilt brat' back then, it's true. But at least I can admit it. And at least I changed. I've made my way to the top of the Universe not through violence as you assume, you speciesist. You assume all Arcosians are horrible because of what, some bad experience or something like that? You assume I rule through fear but not respect. You assume I had murdered millions, if not billions. You assume I have not saved the lives of trillions from pestilence, infighting, chaos and famine. You assume I'm going to strike you down were you stand. You are wrong in all of these things. I am not perfect, I admit. Nothing is. None of this gives you any right or rule as to who I really am, but at the same time it gives me no right to tell you who you are. It is the job of science, your genetics, to not only tell you what you are, but rather to make you what you are. Believe me when I tell you what you are. You are an Arcosian, this is fact. It doesn't matter if you believe a fact or not, it is no less true if you deny it."

"So what? Maybe im wrong about everything i've belied in. Maybe for some strange reason my parents and many others slaughtered a planet right under the previous ruler's nose. Maybe everything i know or thought i knew about our species is wrong. Maybe Daiki was saved because its a fair system. Maybe i havent learned about the universe enough to judge. And most likely I was too young to see the scope of our species and the rest of the universe. Maybe im wrong about you and everything else, cause its obvious that you are comanding and regal. And im not being sarcastic. And i never said i wasnt an Arcosian, i embrace the power that comes from our genetics, but I am a Namekian in spirit and mind. My body is Arcosian, most certainly." He sighed. "But do you really expect a speech to change the ideals of someone who has lived his over a hundred years believing that his species is truelly evil? Probably not, but i dont, if i did i wouldnt have approached you in a friendly manner. Maybe i have a lot of thingd wrong. But so do you. Sure, i dont know our culture, i was a sheltered kid, not allowed to do much but read and study. The day i finally sneak out i see slaughter done by our kind. Do you expect me to not have run away? To not have created a deep fear and animosity against our kind? You are right, nobody is perfect, but its hard to not hope for it and to see yourself as so."
((Dont worry, have my own wall of text in return ))

When Gleciar stated that he was physically Arcosian (not with those exact words, however) but not mentally, rather having a mind and spirit of that of a Namekian, Wyntre sighed for two different reasons. The first reason was that Gleciar just admitted he was mentally on par with a green slug. The second reason was that it was, luckily for Gleciar, absolutely nonsense. Unless you got some sort of brain transplant, all Arcosians are, as the name might suggest, Arcosian. The Arcosian brain is the product of billions of years of evolution, years it spent perfecting all it has to do and so much more. The Namekian brain, as says evolution, only does what it needs to do. This isn't some bias I'm pulling out of thin air, this is statistical evolution. Then again, she can't say the Namekian evolution cycle doesn't have its perks: the whole 'fission' and 'fusion' thing her scientists have documented looks pretty spiffing. It's a shame they didn't evolve something more useful on a universal level.
"Yes, I do expect a speech to change your ideals, or at least your views. That is one of the major reasons speeches exist. If a speech of truth, motivation and evidence will not change your mind, then I'm afraid there's a word for that: arrogance. If I were you, yes, I probably would have run away. But would I have closed off any experience to do with it? Would I have closed my ears when news came along that 'it's better now!' or 'Oh no, it wasn't like that at all'? It's not that hard to hear about the Arcosian Empire, every day the news says something like 'corrupt politician exiled' or 'evolved strain of Brench-kind officially recognized as own race'. I suppose this is it then. Would you like anything to say before my scheduled meditation?"

"Not much really, other than the fact that even if i wanted to learn about the current happenings on Arcose, its hard to find out about anything off planet on Namek or Earth, unless you got contacts in the latter, which i dont. And either way i planned to find out about what has been happening in Arcose as soon as i got a ship, now Im also going to confirm your words, not that i dont believe you, i would really like to... But id like to confirm it with my own eyes." He sighed. "Well, it was interesting meeting you, Lady Wyntre. I hope that if we meet again its in a friendlier situation. Oh, and please, dont take everything literally. Figure of speech is something important for comunication in other cultures. Knowing that may cause less arguments in the future." With a little chuckle he extended his hand towards her, this time to do a proper salute towards someone of her status.

Wyntre, too, had saluted. It was by no means normal procedure for an Empress to salute someone, anyone for that matter. But then again, this was no 'normal procedure'. "Namek, perhaps, but Earth is more interwoven into the Universal affairs than you might think. Just turn on your scouter or look at the 'Foreign News' or whatever you have in your newspapers: There's often some news about some lawsuit, some scandal or something along those lines. Anyway... farewell."And that was that. ((PL please.))

Gleciar: For this thread, you'll be gaining 1496 power level. I'd recommend organizing your posts a bit more. Also, don't be afraid to delve into your character a bit more to shove out more content!
Wyntre: You've got 1733 power level for this thread. I'd like to see more out of Wyntre again, as there seems to be missing things about her. Perhaps invest some more time into developing the content's rudimentary?
Adding in PL.
