Alias: Traitor
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Height: 6'01"
Weight: 190lbs.
Sexual Preference: Female
Race: Full-Blooded Saiyan
Class: Elite
Date of Birth: Dec. 10th
Sign: Sagittarius
Occupation(s): Leader of his Elite squad in Vegetasei's army
Mate: -n/a-
Family: Gesheron and Joina Zenako (father and mother), Joey Zenako (brother), Junipa Zenako (cousin), Pota and Scissa Zenako (uncle and aunt), Broly and Abbey Zenako (nephew and niece)
Hobbies: Other than going to the weight room in between missions and in his free time, Senbei likes fixing up old spacecrafts to get them back into working function, though he doesn't do it professionally, so he can't technically be called a repairman.
Quirks: Incredibly short temper that gets the best of him, also incredibly paranoid.

Weapons: n/a
Notable Skills: Flight, Advanced physical strength, Firing ki-blasts. Your basic standard Saiyan techniques, plus Super Saiyan levels 1 and 2. Signature technique – “Target Strike”
Description: Senbei will make physical contact with his opponent, sending a small bubble of energy into their body. It acts as a heat signature, so when he launches a specific wave of ki, the wave will seek out the target, and won't stop until either the target is defeated or the attack itself dies out.

Personality: Senbei is more or less Joey's opposite, in personality. Whereas Joey tries to shove aside his Saiyan tendencies, Senbei embraces them. He loves the call to battle, the cold ruthless behavior of the normal Saiyan warrior. He holds very few loyalties, and rarely opens up whenever something's bothering him. Because of all that he's been through, he tends to hold himself higher than any other, foreseeing himself as better than his fellow Saiyans.

Appearance: Senbei is merely one inch taller than his younger brother, with the same colored brown hair and hazel-green eyes. Although Senbei's hairstyle is completely different, with a short ponytail. Senbei wears the armor of the elite. Aside from that, Senbei wears a grey trenchcoat that has no overall significance other than to seperated himself from the other Saiyans.

Bio: By now, you should all know of Gesheron and Joina Zenako's plight; how they escaped Vegetasei after killing the tyrant Frieza, how they were framed for King Vegetasei's murder, and how they drifted through space aimlessly before accidentally creating a new life on Earth for them and their children.

Senbei was not a child born with talent. He had a relatively weak power level when he was first born, but that didn't matter to the Earthbound Saiyans. Senbei was a relatively happy child. And even when his baby brother Joey was born, he was thrilled to have a playmate. As the years went by, however, Joey's powers came along swimmingly, and Senbei grew jealous. He even believed his parents loved Joey more than they did himself, and even grew to hate them. When the time came for Joey's late transformation, the boy's father told them the truth; who they were, what they were, and where their bloodline originally came from.

What Gesheron failed to tell his sons was the oppressive rule that reigned over Vegetasei. Senbei thought that a planet filled with people like himself would surely accept him in place of his parents, who he believed were shunning him for his younger brother. So the next night, Senbei stumbled across his parent's old spacepod. He didn't understand how, but somehow he was able to fix it purely by poking and prodding around. You learn by doing. Once it was operational, Senbei took the pod to Vegetasei. Thinking he'd be greeted with open arms, the twelve year old Senbei went right to King Vegeta himself, and declared who he was.

Senbei was severely beaten and nearly killed, but Vegeta showed one of those rare moments of pity and humanity. If he renounced his family name, he would be spared, although he’d basically live as a prisoner the rest of his life. Senbei didn’t even give it a second thought. He renounced his family name, although Vegeta would still refer to him as ‘Zenako’ merely to call him by name, and insult him. To begin his punished life, Senbei’s tail was cut off, and he was thrown into prison for five years. He was chained up, forced to do backbreaking labor, and since there was no age limit for prisoners, he was a twelve year old boy among much older men and only a few boys his own age or younger. So, you can imagine what kind of traumatic events occurred. After five years, Senbei emerged a buff hardened young man with a regrown tail, itching to serve and redeem himself in the eyes of his king. Senbei enlisted into the military, starting like everyone else as a grunt. The level BELOW a low-class. He was seen as a tool, something to be merely used until he was broken and cast aside. He wasn’t expected to last more than a month.

Three years and two promotions later, Senbei was now a mid-class Soldier, sporting blue spandex and normal white armor, not unlike DBZ Vegeta’s Cell Saga armor. It was during this time he was reunited with his brother. Senbei’s squad was sent to destroy a planet. Normal mission, right? However, this particular planet called ahead for help from the attacking Saiyans, and it was during this time young Joey just happened to be out during his space travels. Seeing this as a chance to perform his heroic duties, Joey and Senbei finally clashed. This was seen as a battle between brothers, and it was a life-or-death struggle. In fact, the planet was nearly destroyed during their fight. However, the overall result was that both Saiyan brothers ascended to Super Saiyan 2 during the struggle, merely to shift the balance of power in their direction. Joey ended up winning by a hair, and the ultimate dishonor occurred…Joey let Senbei live. He couldn’t kill his older brother, and instead put him back in his pod, sending him back to Vegeta. Twice in his life now, Senbei was shamed. First that he begged like a dog to live, and second that he’d been spared from pity. He was expected to be killed for the loss of his pride. However, fate seemed to smile on Senbei. When he was taken to the guillotine for a public beheading, Senbei summoned all his anger and pure frustrated rage, and slaughtered the entire execution squad in plain view. A warrior with that much determination and drive showed signs of recovered pride. Vegeta let him live.

Senbei’s promotion to Elite became official two months ago. He and his squad were nearly wiped out because he had chosen to take a planet no squad had been able to take down before. The inhabitants were rock monsters, nearly impervious to physical and energy attacks. Their moon wasn’t strong enough to supply the Saiyans with enough Blutz waves for a full transformation, so they were extremely disadvantaged. However, Senbei soon discovered that he and his brother had something new in common. Senbei’s body since birth had been absorbing the Blutz waves from the moon, just like Joey’s body. So since he had never seen the Oozaru transformation, he was surprised when it actually happened to him. That tiny moon on the rock monster’s planet gave off just enough Blutz waves to overflow the collection of energy within Senbei’s body to trigger the transformation. Oozaru Senbei not only destroyed the rock monsters, but what remained of his squad. When he returned to normal, Senbei was commended on the success of his mission, and delivering Saiyan justice to his comrades. They were no good anymore, so the proper thing to do was to toss them aside when they stopped being useful. He was elevated to Elite status for that moment of glory. From then on, Senbei could willingly activate a half transformation, the ‘Giji Oozaru’ he and his brother were accursed with. Although for a Saiyan with such a killer instinct, Senbei considered his Giji Oozaru form to be a blessing rather than a curse.

Since then, Senbei continues to strive. He owns his own home away from the Elite Division’s barracks, continuing to play the ‘lone wolf.’ The only person who can seem to connect with him is his cousin, Junipa, who is growing to be exactly like him. He still plans to defeat his brother in battle, and continues formulating plans to do so.

**Artist Comment**

And here he is, finally in full color: Joey's older brother, Senbei Zenako.

I wanted this to be different than the other character designs I've done, so after I thought I was 'finished' with it, I kept coming back and put little details here and there on him. Hence the scars and the medals and the tattoo on his right hand.

Otherwise, you can see his Super Saiyan level in the top right corner, the scars hidden by his armor in the middle, and lastly what he'd look like as a Giji Oozaru on the bottom.

As always, comments are appreciated.

Ah I see you finally went into detail odd how he and Asparos had similar hair style, I'm extra glad I changed it up, traditional, yet unique, actually that's Asparos in a nut shell XP. anyway, back on topic, I like what you did with Senbei it seems very fitting, I personally liked the look of the lower class armor, but it certainly works ^^.
