Puar

“	Only a heartless soul would run and leave his friends behind. We're in this together.	„
	~ Puar

Background

Puar is a supporting protagonist of the Dragon Ball series, serving as one of Son Goku's first companions. Initially starting as a bandit alongside their martial artist partner, Yamcha, Puar later joined Goku's journey and themselves himself.

Puar is a shapeshifter, having gone to school alongside Oolong to master shapeshifting, which comes in handy throughout the series. As the series progresses, however, Puar's shapeshifting ability becomes less necessary, and Puar serves more as motivation and support for Yamcha and the Z Fighters as a whole.

Powers and Abilities

Likely Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Shapeshifting (Puar can use the Shapeshifting ability to assume several different forms), Flight (Puar naturally levitates), Chi Manipulation & Ki Manipulation (All beings in Dragon Ball have ki, the very life force energy of all characters, ki allows a fighter to extend beyond their bodies limits, allowing them to even block attacks that would otherwise kill them from raising their guard, higher level users can lower their own durability to allow people far below them to fatally wound them. A users ki aura can exert itself as a weapon to attack), Attack Reflection (All Ki users are able to reflect attacks just by being stronger than their opponent. Examples include, Nappa deflecting a masenko from Son Gohan, Son Gohan being able to bounce back the spirit bomb, Son Goku deflecting a crusher ball from Jeice, Frieza deflecting a Final Burst Cannon from Vegeta, Son Goku reflecting multiple death beams back to back from Frieza, and Future Trunks being able to completely repel an energy blast with his hand from a Frieza Soldier just by being much stronger than them), Homing Attack (Ki users can create attacks that will home in and chase a target forever), Power Absorption & Transferal (Ki users can transfer their ki to others and absorb the ki given to them from others), Aura (Has an aura of ki surrounding her whenever she exerts ki), Vibration Manipulation (Powerful ki users can cause the very ground itself to shake when they power up), Pseudo-Fear Manipulation, Limited Soul Manipulation & Pain Manipulation (Ki is the manifestation of one’s lifeforce, along with the aura giving one the feeling of being crushed, exerting fear into the target, sometimes making them incapable of moving as their body is instinctively stuck due to the sheer difference in power), Energy Manipulation (Ki is the latent power in one's body, this latent power allows them to form and create energy from controlling their ki, which can be used to shoot out energy blast), Explosion Manipulation (Ki attacks can create massive explosions, control the ki to set off a huge explosion under the enemy, or in front of them), Heat Manipulation (Ki user's ki attacks produce heat allowing them to cook and grill animals and raw meat, along with leaving behind steam after the attacks hit an area, showing its latent heat), Power Nullification (Those with ki can nullify attacks of lesser ki with their ki alone. They can also catch and nullify ki attacks around their level through focusing enough), Forcefield Creation (Ki users such as Cell can generate forcefields around themselves. These forcefields can be expanded, and used to protect others and defend against attacks far higher then the user), Self-Destruction (Ki users in Dragon Ball are able to release all of the energy within them to cause a massive self-destruction of energy that normally kills the user and turns them into dust though one can control it to surviving but having no stamina or energy left), Light Manipulation (Ki can be used as a flash of light), Non-Physical Interaction (Those with Ki were able to harm the Ghost Warriors), Healing (Ki can be used to heal beings, allowing them to survive even with half their torso, it can also heal from near death), Fusionism (Like other characters, Puar can perform the Fusion Dance)

Notable Techniques

• Shapeshifting: Puar has a mastery of the shapeshifting technique, allowing for them to take on basically any form imagineable. Although this lets Puar take the form of any being, it does not grant them any additional abilities or powers that wouldn't come with the actual physical shape of the form.

Other

Standard Tactics: Puar isn't a direct fighter, with them prior when they were in combat situations transforming to trick the opponent.

Weaknesses: Due to the nature of ki draining stamina and energy, Dragon Ball characters ki usage requires them to usually use their higher levels of energy in short bursts, allowing them to not be able to tank or die to far lower attacks such as attacks that have destroyed the planets of several worlds. Puar is not normally a fighter. Shapeshifting doesn't bolster the user's strength.
