Name: Son Goku / Seiten Taisei
DOB: Apr. 5
Age: 18 / 518
Race: Demon
Weapon: Nyoibou (Almighty Staff), Sansetsukon (three jointed sticks)
Appearance: Tousled short brown hair frames his fair-skinned face, the ends of his bangs barely overshadowing wide, gentle golden eyes. Goku appears thin but is very fit and strong. Of the entire Sanzo Party, Goku is the shortest at 5'4". Always (hopefully) there rests a heavy golden diadem around his head, matching the short golden cape that flows behind him. He wears shoulder guards that look almost like the teeth or claws of an animal jutting out about half a foot from the curve of his shoulders. With a diagonally belted red vest trimmed with black covering a billowy white shirt, tan bunched-up collar around his neck, blue jeans and brown boots, Son Goku looks at the same time casual and battle-ready.
Personality: Goku is a simple young man with simple pleasures. He likes his food, and plenty of it, and he certainly loves a good battle. By nature he starts out trusting, but gradually gains a slight bit of caution. Goku can be noisy and annoying at times, but he really is sweet and gentle. Of the Sanzo Party, Goku embodies innocence. Should his diadem come off, however, it's a different story. Playful, curious and childlike, Goku is the only one that can soften and reach Sanzo when he is at his most unpleasant and angsty.
Personal History: Born from a rock fed by the aura of the earth for centuries, Goku was tricked into being presented in heaven by the promise of food. The Merciful Goddess placed him under the care of her nephew, Konzen. Konzen began to warm up to the boy and eventually gave him his name: Son Goku. Due to a crime he committed, Goku was imprisoned at the top of Mt. Gogyo, not aging a day for 500 long, lonely years. During this time he lost his memory of everything but his time in prison, chained and isolated from all life, not even seeing the sun.
His life began anew when Sanzo mysteriously heard Goku's voice calling out for help and freed him from his prison and chains. Goku saw Sanzo as the sun he longed for during those 500 years, and uninvited, followed the priest diligently. Somehow the typically cold priest warmed up to the boy and they soon became separable companions. Now he and Sanzo travel with Hakkai and Gojyo as the Sanzo Party, on a journey west assigned by the Sanbutusin to save the world... and perhaps even more than that.
Job: Follow Sanzo and annoy- um, protect him.
Strengths/Weaknesses: His innocence and naivety can get him into trouble at times, but doesn't seem to affect him in battle unless his good nature forbids him from fighting back against an innocent. When he is at his strongest, sans diadem, he doesn't know friend from foe and attacks all without prejudice. Goku's biggest weakness may be his lack of life experience and, let's face it, intelligence. His greatest strength is his inhuman, brute strength and excellent fighting abilities, and perhaps his kind and gentle nature.
