Personality: A scholar by nature, Gohan’s greatest dream has always been to spend his life learning, studying, and reading. He would love nothing more than to just lock himself away in a classroom or a library, reading and absorbing anything that tickles his fancy, not for any real reason, other than just the joy of learning. His love of learning was instilled upon him from a very young age, as his mother, Son Chichi, wanted him to be as far away from his father’s warrior lifestyle as possible. He is brilliant, book smart, driven to excel at everything he does, and extremely quick to pick up the things that he learns. Despite his mother’s...more aggressive nature, who raised him for most of his life, Gohan inherited the gentle nature of his father. While he enjoys playing the hero, he would much rather sit down to talk, working out a good solution that won’t involve punches, kicks, or world destroying ki blasts. This gentle nature, however, can sometimes be a hindrance, since it, combined with his lack of worldliness, can cause him to take things at face value that he probably shouldn’t. Despite his gentleness, Gohan also has the soul of a warrior. When the chips are down, and when all else has failed, he is more than willing to throw down with the best of them. His half-alien nature can sometimes cause him to be aggressive in combat, and combined with his intellect and ability to quickly react to changes in a combat, make him a dangerous opponent. While he would never choose fighting as a first option, he has been known to enjoy it. The rush of adrenaline, the thrill of fighting for one’s life, both are things that he doesn’t experience all the time. He loves being the hero, going so far as to have a friend of his create a costume for him, so he can fight crime while staying anonymous. To him, however, the Great Saiyaman is more of a game, rather than really fighting. Gohan is proof that, at times, even great intellects can not have any idea of what its like to deal with normal people. He was raised in a remote location, and the only people that he had any real interactions with were those whom his family already trusted, so he was able to trust almost everything that was told to him. His trusting nature has been both a blessing and a curse to Gohan, as he takes what people say at face value. Because of this, he is able to easily make and keep friends, but he also is very prone to be taken advantage of. Though he is naive, once his trust has been lost, it’s very difficult to regain. He may forgive, but he is rarely caught by the same issue more than once. Gohan wants nothing more than to find a way to be able to be a hero, while also keeping a normal life, and because of this, he created a special persona, named The Great Saiyaman, as well as a costume for this persona. The Great Saiyaman is very similar in actions to Gohan, except much more over the top. He is a Western Style Superhero and a Super Sentai all rolled into one. Gohan is much more confident while wearing this costume, as it allows him the ability to do and say just about anything without worry of it backfiring on himself or his family. It should be noted that very few people actually fall the disguise, but Gohan doesn’t seem to notice.
