Description
BansuriAlignment: Neutral Good
Born: AGE 968 (~32 year old)
Race: Namekian
Home: Planet Earth
Battle Power: ?????
Occupation: Time Patroller
Goals: To make his papa proud
Bio:
Thanks to the unconventional origin of his father, Bansuri is the first hybrid Namekian to be born since ancient times. This allows him to fully utilize traits from both of his race's clans, such as having a high battle power and the ability to heal the wounds of others, making him invaluable on the battlefield. This unique combination made him perfect to be recruited by Trunks into the Time Patrol, fighting on both the frontier and the homefront.
Notes:
Nothing different about his design, other than a slight darkening of his skin. I did change his name from the one used in Heroes as a different character already had that name a long time ago.
Now that the AGE 1000 portion of the series is forced to have multiple arcs (thanks to Online, Xenoverse, Heroes, etc), I'll be separating his outfits into individual sheets.

Descriptions are on the sheets for a reason.

So... he's the kid of Piccolo and Dende? o 3o
(im teasing)
Though, Im still trying to figure out how he is a hybrid of both clans, cause Piccolo is a member of the Dragon Clan, right?
π: 1 β©: 1
Piccolo himself is basically a hybrid, which is why Bansuri is one here too...only, he's a true hybrid with the full abilities of the clans.
Piccolo displays traits from all the known Namekian clans;
-He was born with great power, the main ability of the Warrior Clansmen.
-He has been shown to stretch his body, an ability of the Demon Clansmen.
-He can create clothing, swords, hourglasses and various other items, an ability of the Dragon Clansmen
-Only members of the same clan can merge together in "Yugo"; Namekian Fusion.
-He fuses with both the Warrior Clansmen Nail and the Dragon Clansmen, as well as his other half, Kami

well that is re-assuring, but also who would be his voice actor? Sean Shemeal? Todd Hakerborn?
π: 0 β©: 1
I really only think in terms of the Japanese voice actors, unless I just REALLY don't like 'em (Fat Buu -_-). I guess if you want an English voice equivalent, Micah Solusod when he doesn't sound depressed would be close...maybe? lol

he looks like piccolo's boy? or maybe little green's?

It fits, so I figured I might as well just go with it. After all, gastropods get lonely when their rice finally dies...

32 doesn't mean adult, Namekians live for at least 700 years
π: 1 β©: 2
While that is true, from what we've seen in the canon, Nameks grow to 6' by the time they're 3. Not counting Piccolo, Dende grew quite a bit over 7 years, going from what appeared to be a child to a teenager and he acted like it as well.

I don't really care, it's a rewrite and I'm stretching out their growth patters a bit to match their extended lifespan. Regardless, even in the actual series, nothing says this height is inaccurate for a Namekian at the stated age:
Piccolo is not even close to being a reliable source of Namekian growth in comparison to 99% of the other members we see. For one, he's a Warrior Clansmen and the only one we see who isn't already an adult when introduced. Quick growth could be a trait for their fighting nature, opposite the Dragon Clan. But the most important piece would be that Piccolo is also a special birth, not only an offspring, but a reincarnation as well. His extremely rapid growth could very well be solely because of that.
Dende is our only real example, and even he isn't a great one. We have absolutely no idea when he was born. Not saying he is, but he could theoretically already be 100 by the time we meet him on Namek and the normal members of his race grow is quick spurts after loooooong periods in a certain development stage. Anyway, you bring up his teen appearance in the Buu Arc, but by the end of that portion of the series, he shrinks considerably, almost back down to Kuririn size: [link] It depends on which one you want to take as his real height, tall-beginning or short-end. It isn't until Uub-GT that he starts to be consistently depicted as a teen-adult size, and by then he's at least 22-27 when you count just how long Gohan has known him and not when he was born, which could have been years upon years before the Namek excursion...

I was just saying that based on the canon info we have, this would be inaccurate.
π: 0 β©: 1
How? I already explained that it isn't, based on the sole fact that we have no idea how old Dende is when we meet him.
Dende is depicted at this size in the Buu Arc ~12 years after we are first introduced to him. Who is to say he wasn't already ~20 years old when he first shows up on Namek?
π: 0 β©: 1
You're basing it off the assumption that they age much slower like Goku did. There's no real evidence to back up the claim nor theory. While there are a few episodes where Dende looked like a child again, it was an error on the artist's behalf, much like Krillin's ability to be as tall as everyone's midsections, regardless of the other character's height (case in point, he's seen numerous times being roughly half Vegeta's height, but on numerous other occasions he's seen being about half of Piccolo's height)
As to who says about Dende's age, the Daizenhu state that Dende was 5 in the Namek saga, indicating that Nameks age as fast as humans/Saiyans (being the same size as the 5 year old Gohan who was consistent with the height of other human characters throughout the series) but live longer for unspecified reasons (likely due to regeneration of dead cells).

There is more evidence for it than against it, as Dende didn't change in height for 5 years; Freeza Arc to the Cell Arc. The only substantial proof you could even bring up against the theory is that "Dende is tall when the Buu arc begins", but that only lasts for like 2 panels when he is first reintroduced in the manga when Gohan goes to the lookout as Saiyaman. Almost every time after that when we see him, he is Popo height or shorter regardless of the characters he is around, same as my depiction of Bansuri here. And this isn't just in the anime, Toriyama himself was the one to shrink the new Kami: [link] And his height in the image here isn't a one time thing. It's consistent with the height Toriyama draws him at in the previous volumes, all the way back to when everyone first gathers at god's palace to avoid Majin Buu.
I browsed through the books again and the Daizenshuu don't say anything about his actual age. Being the same size as a 5 year old and actually being a 5 year old aren't the same thing. He was still the size of a 5 year old in the Cell Arc, despite Gohan having grown to almost twice his height in the same timeframe. Using your statements, they should be much closer in size because they grow at the same rates, but that isn't so and it indicates nothing.

Dende did change in height. When he arrived on Earth, he was only a few inches shorter than 11 year old Gohan, while he was only a few inches shorter than 5 year old Gohan back in the Frieza Saga. As for Toriyama, he makes many mistakes in the series with character heights and doesn't seem to have had a reference chart anywhere. Even Popo varies in heights in the series. My point being that you can't take his height in relation to other characters as reference to his real height in the manga as Toriyama was prone to consistency errors.
The books say that he was born 5 years (Age 757) before the Saga began (Age 762), making him 5. And if that weren't enough, evidenced by Dende's elderly brother Moori (and the rest of their Dragon Clan village), it doesn't appear that Dragon Clan Namekians grow beyond 5'3" they reach gand elder levels in age (like Guru, or DBO's Moori). Many of them were several inches shorter than Dr. Brief who himself is several inches shorter than Vegeta.
But this is going in circles and no amount of arguing is going to get you to change the age of this model, so I'm walking away. Good design (though being that old and the size of Goten looks extremely far fetched.)

WTF? If you aren't using his drawings, then who are you going by? Your only choice is to take his character's most common height in relation to everyone else as the characters true size. Toriyama may make mistakes, but he's the creator of the damn manga, no one else counts as the authority on the matter. lol Dende's official manga height is however freaking tall Toriyama draws him most commonly.
You want me to admit I'm wrong and change something, then give me proof instead of just spouting off supposed info. What Daizenshuu? What section? I've checked all of Kanzentai's translations and all of Herms' translation guides relating to character ages or timelines, and none of them mention Dende's birth. So as it stands right now, it seems as if you are working with faulty information from the Dragon Ball Wiki or something. Herms has even even addressed said issue in past posts, such as:
"Dende is roughly the same age as Gohan? What source is there for that? Yes, he looks about the same age, but in order to say that he actually is about the same age you'd need to assume that Namekians age the same rate as Earthlings or Saiyans, the very thing this Dende example is cited as supporting, so the whole thing is circular. Also, it's debatable whether Dende really grows up along Gohan at the same rate. By the time of the Cell Games, 5 years after the events with Freeza on Planet Namek, Dende looks about the same while Gohan has aged noticeably. And 7 years later during the Boo arc, Gohan seems to have grown much more than Dende." - Herms: [link]
