Bio:
Nappa is an elite warrior from the planet Vegeta, and a hails from noble blood. Even by Saiyan standards, he's a bit of a roughneck. So, Nappa was assigned to be Prince Vegeta's aide and use his experience in the field to serve as the prince's squad leader. This attempt to help keep the royal Saiyaling in line proved a very difficult task, as Vegeta refused to follow orders from someone weaker than him. When told they needed to expand the squad, despite Nappa's best efforts to find a suitable partner, Vegeta randomly picked Raditz to join without even looking. 

After Tāble's incubation period came to an end, he was briefly assigned to Nappa's care for evaluation...but was ultimately disowned and banished to the planet Loud due to his father's embarrassment. A short while later, the planet Vegeta would be eradicated at the hands of Freeza. During the planet's destruction, the squad was scheduled for a mission. Nappa was forced to accept different one to tackle solo due to Vegeta being extremely adamant about not wanting a bodyguard/babysitter. 

Notes:
The characters from before planet Vegeta was destroyed. No real changes to them, but I did use kid Vegeta's Battle of Gods design and gave Nappa his Arlia color scheme just so I could use it somewhere. Tāble has a combination of his anime and manga hair styles...

Dude of course I'm not serious, it's a well known meme, what kind of an idiot doesn't know it was 8000 in the manga, that the mistake was hilarious to the point of it being a meme and to the point of them re-recording it wrong in future releases just to go along with it?
The squad is called 9001 in reference of this meme, why the hell are you going around correcting people having fun like an insufferable know-it-all?

I doubt canon Nappa was an adult when Raditz was a kid, since Nappa would say to Goku "hey respect your elders boy"

The-Devils-Corpse In reply to BH-Ouji [2015-09-09 08:59:25 +0000 UTC]

Toriyama has told us Nappa was in his 50s when he attacked earth, which would put him in his late 20s, early 30s when planet Vegeta was destroyed. That's an adult.

Really? Maybe he thought "oh Toei so you made Nappa with hair and an adult in the 1st TV Special? So i must do it the same hehe"

I still can't believe canon Nappa is an old fart in the saiyan saga, it makes the Z warriors look like assholes for losing to an old man like him

That's not how it works. They have extended periods of youth and grow in spurts. He's probably starting to enter his degeneration period and is starting to exit his prime; maybe in his equivalent of the 35-40 range.

Hmm shouldn't his power be a little lower? Or are you going with the he hasn't fought got injured in 20 some odd years haha

The-Devils-Corpse In reply to Dragon-Cana-Love [2014-12-16 22:22:29 +0000 UTC]

Average Battle Power of lifeforms across the universe is 1,000-1,500. He never got much of a challenge.

Honestly though, it's just a terrible problem of the Battle Power system. Saiyans are split into classes by their BP from birth. Nappa was an Elite, meaning I can't make him much weaker without moving him to a lower class, and yet I can't make his older self much stronger or else gaps start getting too big for characters in the Saiyan Arc. I tried to make it work out as best I could, but there is only so much wiggle room. :/

True haha but even Bardocks team ran into a bumps same for why Vegeta, Raditz, and Nappa needed Goku too. I can understand not a huge increase seems like with age though. Never mind I saw you increased it by a 1,000


Haha yeah that does seem like a bad area haha

The-Devils-Corpse In reply to Dragon-Cana-Love [2014-12-16 22:42:47 +0000 UTC]

Yes, there are always exceptions to every rule, so there are obviously threats out there higher than Nappa's 4,000-5,000. Nappa was always working with the prince after the planet was destroyed though. So even if the remaining Saiyans somehow found a warrior stronger than Vegeta on a mission, the prince has the Power Ball technique to create the artificial full moon. Nappa, Raditz and Vegeta's powers all get that 10x boost on command, pushing baldy to 40,000-50,000. Most Saiyans don't have that "luxury". So if they get beaten up and manage to survive, they are rewarded with the power boost. But Vegeta's group of survivors never really went through that.

The-Devils-Corpse In reply to Dumpsterthot [2012-05-29 20:21:03 +0000 UTC]

First, Nappa has no confirmed height whatsoever, and he is constantly depicted at different sizes in the franchise. Second, this is part of a hybrid scaling system basing heights off most common appearance and not Toriyama's changing art style, thus Nappa is scaled according to Goku and Vegeta's corresponding heights from Cell-Buu, after the prince is no long drawn so extremely short.
