[ Personality ] :
Bardock is, in many ways, a typical Saiyan. He's blunt, violent, confident, and willing to kill in cold blood. What sets him apart from a lot of them is his loyalty--once he decides someone is worth his time, he'll fight for them without reserve. He's even loyal to Frieza, to a point--he knows the tyrant is a paranoid, insane creature, but he still takes missions for him. Likely this is more because he just loves a good fight. However, he's completely loyal to his team--when he finds them thoroughly defeated on Planet Meat, he shows shock and fear and disbelief that they could be beaten and that it was Frieza--whom they'd been loyal to--that had set them up. He holds the ideals of loyalty, honor, and pride extremely close and takes anything percieved as a betrayal personally. 'Traitorous coward' is about the worst insult ever in his book.
He's also incredibly stubborn and determined to the point of recklessness. Even after being attacked and badly injured, he struggled to try and warn his people of Frieza's impending attack, and when they refused to believe him, he took matters into his own hands. He took on an entire army in order to confront his enemy face to face, an enemy far stronger than he was, without any hesitation.
Despite being gruff, Bardock is also capable of some levels of empathy and forming bonds with individuals--you just have to be patient with him in order to accomplish it. He doesn't have the hero complex or natural friendliness shown by his Earth-raised family, if he ever did it was beaten out of him long ago, just by the nature of his society where the weak are not tolerated and forming such bonds is seen as a form of weakness. He doesn't tend towards using his strength to help others, instead naturally gravitating towards using it for his own gratification, but he can be pressed to intervene on the behalf of others. However, this is usually for self-serving reasons. He is not an altruist and generally shows disgust for or distaste with people who are weaker than himself and don't have any other useful aspects--for instance, if someone is weak, but smart, he'd respect their intelligence. In fact, he's probably far more likely to respect someone who's intelligent and physically weak than he is to respect someone with lots of strength, but a weak mind. He doesn't like children for reasons relating to this--they're weak, and they don't fully understand how the world works. He'd rather not deal with them, though he does get along with them when he wants to. He's able to make these connections of respect and even a bit of caring easier than a fair few other Saiyans would, even if he tends to be a bit of a loner. He's not very good at interacting with people--even those he considers friends--and holds himself separate. His emotional presentation is generally that of anger or distaste, at least when other people can see him. Despite that, he's not emotionless--far from it.
He's also fairly intelligent, though he's no scientistdespite what the Ocean dub says. His mind is for battle tactics and he's extremely formidable in a fight, even one where he's outnumbered or facing a stronger opponent. He knows how to wait to strike, use the terrain to his advantage, and even use his opponent's strength against them incredibly well. He thinks very logically and pragmatically, and is not prone to fits of creativity unless it involves a way to creatively put his fist through someone's face.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
Strengths
Psychic powers: Specifically, precognition. Bardock was given the ability to see the future by a member of a species called the Kanassans that he and his team took a mission to eliminate, though really he'd rather not have it, thank you very much. It tends to kick in at very inopportune times, doing anything from catching him off-guard to causing migraines.
Ki control: As a Saiyan, Bardock is naturally skilled at controlling his energy and has trained to make even better use of it. He can fly, use ki blasts, and enhance his strength and speed with his energy, and is said to be rather strong despite his status as a 'third-class Saiyan'.
Physical prowess: He also has his Saiyan physiology, which naturally makes him stronger, faster, and more resilent than a lot of other species in the galaxy.
Intelligence: He can be scarily smart when he feels like it, mostly in situations pertaining to fighting--battle tactics and the like, though he's also capable of some truly out there leaps in logic.
Transformation: As a Saiyan with a tail, Bardock will transform under the full moon into a giant rampaging monkeybeast with shocking strength and speed. It's stated in the OVA that he has complete awareness and control during his transformation.
Weaknesses
Lack of social skills: Even with people he gets along with, Bardock is blunt and gruff to the point of being all but socially incompetent. He doesn't know how to deal with people in a non-confrontational manner and will generally avoid trying to do so if he can help it.
