Yamcha was born on March 20th, Age 733. He became a bandit of the Diablo Desert, and lived off of the resources he would pillage from people passing by. Because of this, he developed very powerful fighting techniques and martial arts skill, as well as a hardened personality; curiously, though, he always dreamed of marriage, and would be paralyzed at just the sight of a woman. At the age of 14, Yamcha met his companion, the shape-shifting cat Puar, and the two would soon become lifelong friends. Puar became Yamcha’s partner in crime for the next two years, until they crossed paths with a young Saiyan named Goku, and his companions Bulma and Oolong. Although Yamcha was at first simply wanting to rob the crew, Goku’s resilience and Bulma’s appearance kept him at bay. The bandit eventually developed feelings for Bulma, as she did for him. Yamcha would go on to trail the crew, with the hopes of finally being able to steal from them and return home, although he found himself, more often than not, coming to their aid. Eventually, with how many times he fought alongside Goku’s crew, he teamed up with them, making Yamcha the first member of Goku’s Dragon Team. Yamcha would go on to participate in several World Martial Arts Tournaments, and found tutelage under the legendary Turtle Hermit, Master Roshi. Soon enough, Yamcha became a formidable opponent and one of the most powerful humans on the entire planet, with his power skyrocketing in order to keep pace with his peers. Unfortunately, however, his relationship was shaky; Bulma mistook his nervousness around women for disloyalty, and the two would eventually split up. However, despite this, Yamcha still remained a loyal, caring, and charismatic friend. He’s suffered several defeats, namely when he lost his life during the Saiyan invasion on Earth, but continued pushing forwards in his martial arts expertise. No matter how outclassed he felt himself getting, he would continue to do what he could, including joining the Cell Games. Yamcha also went on to follow his true passion, and become a worldwide professional baseball player. Although even with a career in baseball keeping him busy, he will always be there if the Earth is threatened. |

As a bandit, he fights for neither good nor evil, and simply pillages people indiscriminately as they pass through the Diablo Desert. Although he preforms the acts of a thief, he never stoops far enough to put his skill up for hire, or ally himself with anyone on any side of the moral compass) | Chaotic Good (Has learned to put his trust in a good number of friends, including Son Goku and Bulma, who he fights alongside. Due to Goku and Bulma fighting as forces of good, Yamcha has found himself training and fighting to protect others as well, although he still advocates for personal freedom) | Chaotic Good | Neutral Good (Having been fully engrained into the Z Fighters as a trusted and reliable fighter and friend, Yamcha no longer seeks the stark individuality that he once did as a bandit.

Is superior to Mercenary Tao. Tao can harm General Blue, who survived his place crashing into a mountain at full speed) | At least Mountain level, likely far higher (Due to his lack of training between the 23rd Budokai and the start of the Saiyan Saga, his power level should be the same. Thus, he is not very far behind King Piccolo, who destroyed a city with the wave of his hand, which also puts him above Master Roshi who destroy Fry Pan mountain with a Kamehameha)

Other
Standard Tactics: Originally as a bandit Yamcha favored more sly attacks such as attacking with weapons from afar and if he had to fight up close, using his wolf fang fist and sword. Currently, Yamcha will employ hand to hand combat along with ki attacks.
