Beryl is a typical human who stands at about five feet six tall and weighs one hundred and thirty-five pounds. While most humans are light-skinned, he has warm, dark-brown skin that’s relatively clear of blemishes and scarring. However, he does suffer from acne breakouts much to his annoyance. His physique is average at best; he is not muscular or buff, but he’s definitely not out of shape and overweight. In fact, his average physique belies his outrageous physical strength, speed and endurance. Combined with his below-average height and demeanor, many people tend to underestimate him in a fight. However, those who do that immediately hate themselves afterwards. The most pronounced features on his face are his thick eyebrows, large nose and full lips. His typical facial expression makes it look like he’s deep in thought or if he’s constantly sleepy.
Beryl’s clothing style varies between casual and business casual. He’s a fan of collared shirts - with collars ranging between the entire color spectrum though his favorites are greens, yellows and teals. He seems to enjoy wearing some sort of headgear, usually a green-colored beanie, along with various other accessories such as sunglasses and industry-grade goggles if he’s working on an engineering or science-related project.
PERSONALITY
ENERGY LEVEL: Physically active. Workaholic.
MEMORY: Tends to remember small details well as long as he puts effort into it.
SENSES: Actually alert and aware despite mannerisms.
VOICE: Medium-pitched, even-toned. Very articulate.
GREETING: "Hello. How are you doing today?"
FAREWELL: "I'll see you later. Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening."
STATE OF MIND: "I'm doing well enough. I’ve been keeping myself busy with my research for the most part. Yes, I know I need to get out more.”
INSULT: "You look and act like someone poured bleach into your gene pool."
EXPLETIVE: "FUCK! HOW ARE YOU THIS STUPID, YOU DAMN BUFFOON?!" "... Sorry. That was an unexpected outburst."
OCCUPATION: “I’m currently studying more into engineering and bio-engineering. I’m doing a joint program that allows me to do my own individual research and then I get feedback from various other researchers, fellow students and professors.”
INTERESTS: “I have a variety of interests: technology, studying, machinery. Well, when I’m not doing that, I am a fan of martial arts and exercise. A good mind and a healthy body makes for a happy person. People don’t think I can have fun, but I can. Trust me.”
SEX LIFE: “Um. What? Well. If you have to know, no -- I haven’t done “it” before. What do you mean I’m sexually frustrated? No, I’m not! Stop saying that I am! … What?! You think that I really want someone to be with?! No I don’t! Can we just move onto another topic please?!”
Beryl is possibly characterized most by his calm, composed attitude and his studious, knowledge-driven nature. Whenever you see Beryl, he most likely has the same facial expression as he always does: eyelids slightly lowered, mouth in a flat line and dark-brown eyes lit with unmistakable intelligence. This is not to say that he’s emotionless; it’s more that he’s more in control and reserved with his emotions than others. Articulate and well-spoken, Beryl knows how to communicate with others well. It seems as though whenever he talks, people listen, and he often uses that to his advantage. He’s incredibly interested in his studies - anything science-related - almost to the point of obsession. For example, he’ll forget to eat lunch if he’s thoroughly engrossed in a project or if he’s on the verge of an intellectual breakthrough. While he might seem detached from others and only desires to be left with his work and studies, Beryl is a friendly, thoughtful person with a good sense of character, moral judgment and empathy.
His fixation with sciences and technology does work against him as it has strained any friendships he might have to a dangerous degree. This was the reason why he took up martial arts. Although he cannot manipulate ki externally at all, he does thoroughly enjoy practicing martial arts; it has helped him become more sociable and active. Plus, he has found out that he’s actually surprisingly good at what he does. Most people would never expect him to have such raw physical strength, blistering speed and unreal durability and endurance.
However, Beryl has his flaws. He can be far too driven to accomplish a particular goal, willing to sacrifice far beyond a reasonable point in order to achieve it. He is also very self-critical and can spiral into fits where he never believes what he can do is good enough. He also has a natural distaste for ki-capable individuals, deeming them as nothing more than the scum of the universe; after all, it seemed to him that many, many of the universe's problems stemmed from those who could skillfully utilize ki. In fact, his view of said people is so low that it was what caused him to even begin training in the first place: to prevent those who could manipulate ki from ruining the world he lives in as well as the entire universe.
OVERVIEW
It happened when he was only four years old -- when all the universes, world and existence itself spiraled out of control due to Zen-Oh's volatile and unimaginable power. What was supposed to be the end of existence instead birthed a new reality. Beryl had seen pictures of how Earth once looked before it was mashed together with Vegeta, Ize, Namek and the Demon Realm. However, it wasn't like Earth was gone; it was still there except it had far more vivid and interesting locations than before. Growing up, Beryl didn't realize or understand the gravity of the situation occurring within the universe. As he got older and became more aware, he started to become more and more ... worried.
There was energy out there, energy that could turn someone into the Ruler of Everything. The power granted by that energy was beyond unreal; it'd make someone a God of Gods, the maker of Reality. The prospect sounded wondrous to a younger Beryl, but as he matured, it shifted from wonder to horror. The previous King of All was irresponsible, tyrannical, amoral and flat out evil, and now his power was simply up for the taking? The situation was dire; no one could be allowed to ever inherit Zen-Oh's power ever again.
Finally, at the age of twenty-three, Beryl made a monumental decision: He would join the search for the Omni Ki, not to take it for himself but to stop anyone else from having it for themselves. Ki-using individuals have wrecked the universe for long enough.
It was time to put them in their place.
