Character Bios
Goku
Name: Goku
Race: Saiyan
Offsprings: Gohan & Goten
Goku is the hero of Dragon Ball Z. He is a peaceful, good-natured,
honest, trusting, and protective soul. He is also the most powerful
warrior on Earth and the first to become a Super Saiyan in over 1000
years. Having honed his skills and strengthened his spirit to a level
never achieved by any being on Earth, Goku is able to fly, shoot energy
beams from his hands, move at incredible speeds and, when in a pinch,
power-up to a fighting level so high it creates an energy aura around his
body and makes him turn blond with green eyes... becoming in effect a
walking nuclear war. Goku hasn't learned these skills just for fun, his
life is forced down this path as he battles the evil Saiyans in the final
battle to save the Earth. When the Saiyans arrive on Earth it is a shock
in more ways than one. Goku finds out the mysterious secret of his
own past: he is Saiyan formerly known as Kakarot who wassent to
Earth as a baby with the mission to conquer the planet. Luckily for
Earth a near fatal head injury "scrambles" his programming and instead
of becoming a destructive super-warrior he becomes an innocent
pure-of-heart defender of Earth. Goku was raised by a peaceful, wise
old man named Gohan, after whom Goku later names his first son.
Goku is always there to help his family and friends and he is very
protective of them. If he has a weakness, it is his trusting nature. Goku
has many powerful fighting techniques including the powerful
Kamehameha Wave and the Kaio-ken which he learns from King Kai.
His last and most powerful weapon is an immensely powerful energy
ball which garners energy from all sources on the planet, concentrates it
into one sphere, and then releases it in one mighty swoop. This ball can
be used only once and must be guided carefully for it can destroy the
planet if used inappropriately.
Gohan
Name: Gohan
Race: Human/Saiyan
Offsprings: Pan
Gohan, Goku and Chi-Chi's first son, was named after his adoptive
grandfather.
Physically, he resembles a young Goku right down to the
tail and the propensity to become an uncontrollable raging Giant
Monkey, while spiritually, he is good and pure of heart as well.
Because of his protective mother, Gohan starts out as a wimp, but when
the Earth is threatened, he reveals his tremendous potential as a fighter
and uncontrollably "powers up" in order to rescue his father from a
desperate situation. Because of this he is forced into training in
preperation for the arrival of the Saiyans. Gohan's training is at the
hands of Piccolo because his father is learning the fighting expertise of
King Kai. Piccolo and Gohan develop a special bond, which causes
Piccolo to step in front of Nappa's mighty blast to save Gohan's life.
Gohan's loss of nerve in the battle against the Saiyans cost all his
friends dearly. But he is determined to make up for his cowardice by
traveling to the planet Namek to find the Namekian Dragon Balls and
wish his friends back to life. Gohan's tremedous power is accounted
for by the incredible mix between Earthing and Saiyan, which produces
an even stronger being than either Human or Saiyan alone. Even
though Gohan becomes the most powerful non-fused character, he
never attains the love of fighting that Goku has.
Vegeta
Name:Vegeta Race: Saiyan
Offsprings: Trunks & Bra
Vegeta is a prince of the planet Vegeta, and is the most powerful and
feared of all the Saiyans. Cunning, ruthless, and cruel in battle, he
enjoys toying with any helpless creature who opposes him. He comes
to Earth with Nappa, another Saiyan, to conquer the planet. Vegeta and
Nappa underestimate the Z fighters by thinking the mission will take
only three days, when in fact, they never succeed. Vegeta gets so fed up
with Nappa that he mercilessly kills him. Vegeta looses the battle on
Earth, but escapes death because of Goku's generosity. Vegeta goes to
Namek in search of the Dragon Balls with the wish for immortality.
Discovering he cannot defeat Frieza alone, he fights with Gohan and
Krillin, and then with Goku and Piccolo when they arrive.
