Before I get into it, I just want to apologize to all of the players of the first version of this. My only mode of access to SV was taken away from me for some time, and even afterwards I just didn't come back for one reason or another. I'm truly sorry.
--------------------------
Team Saiyan Saves The World: The Second Cut is a re-imagining of Team Saiyan Saves the World, a DBZ RPG taking place a year after the hypothetical Raditz Saga and 3 weeks before the hypothetical Vegeta Saga.
A team of Saiyans survives the annihilation of their planet and make it to another, settling there.
When word gets out of a mystical planet that not only has a set of wish-granting balls, but also another Saiyan among their defenders, Team Saiyan gets a move and groove on in the direction of that planet in hopes of finding Kakarot.
--------------------------
In The Second Cut, there is a bit tighter of a restriction regarding character selection.
There are 3 sets of characters: Required, Preferred, and Optional. Required is needed to start the game, and Required and Preferred need to be filled out before Optional is open to use. That being said, it's also very loose, so if you have a solid argument for why your Optional character is fit for the team early on, or why X character isn't needed all that much, go right ahead! The worst that can happen is me saying no.
And with that, on to the characters!

Name of Saiyan chosen:
Appearance: (List any edits to their appearance here. For Rigor, and Broly, describe what Saiyan Armor they are wearing.)
Transformations: (Put Oozaru and Zenkai here, and then neglect until Super Saiyan happens.)
Abilities: (Put any special abilities here. Every character has Power Ball at Game Start. Abilities and Moves work on a specific system.
Moves: (Maximum 5 moves at Game Start: Every character must have at least one unique move.)
Power Level: (Self-explanatory. Starting Power level cannot be beyond... 35k to start, let's say, but that's really pushing the envelope.)
Weaknesses: (2 Weaknesses from Game Start: Weaknesses can come from any part of a character.)
Personality: (List any changes or just list the basic personality traits.)
Bio: (What happened to them in the years between Vegeta's destruction and the present day?)

- Basically, there are... some number of ranks:
- Incompetent, Poor, Unpromising, Unlearned, Competent, Talented, Exceptional, Elite, and Legendary.
- Incompetent, Poor, and Unpromising give negatives to checks made (-4, -2, and -1, respectively), while Unlearned is "neutral" (it is the "halfway decent but not great" rank), and higher levels grant bonuses (+1, +2, +4, +6, and +10, for Competent, Talented, Exceptional, Elite, and Legendary, respectively).
- It's hard to suck so bad that you drop yourself in a black hole. That's on purpose. This is Team Saiyan, not Team Fail.)
Moves: (Maximum 5 moves at Game Start: Every character must have at least one unique move.)
Power Level: (Self-explanatory. Starting Power level cannot be beyond... 35k to start, let's say, but that's really pushing the envelope.)
Weaknesses: (2 Weaknesses from Game Start: Weaknesses can come from any part of a character.)

What characters will be relevant?
Besides all the main characters, Yamcha, Tien, Chiaotzu, Launch, Gure, Dr. Gero, Androids 13-15 and 21, and Dr. Lychee will be more relevant/exist.
Concerning Lychee, the jury is still out on whether he will make Hatchiyak or Baby.
On top of this, Abo, Kado, and Bonyu will make an appearance in the Namek Saga as Ginyu Force reserve corps, and Jaco may show up early as well...
When does Beerus come into play?
We will be running on the Retconned history of Beerus being active in the work of both Freeza and the Saiyans, which might end up with Freeza revealing Beerus's ordering of Vegeta's destruction as a pity play. The character himself should not come into play anytime soon, or at least he will not be directly interacting with Team Saiyan or the Z-Fighters.
How does Team Saiyan know about the Dragon Balls?
The Earth Team Saiyan is invading won't be as unprepared as in canon.
The Trade Federation and a few other independent parties have tried knocking Earth's block off, and none have succeeded so far. The survivors from the Trade Federation now tell tales of mystical balls that can grant any wish... This is also how they learn of Goku, as the last group of Federation invaders faced off against the Z-Fighters, which included a male whose energy and powerlevel seemed distinctly that of a Saiyan, albeit without the tail.
What about Trunks's timeline? Will that be affected?
Actually, yes! In The Second Cut's Trunks timeline, everything happens as normal until a few months before Future Gohan dies, as Bulma starts prepping the time machine early. When Future Gohan is supposed to die, he actually lets Trunks come with him, getting Trunks killed and driving Gohan to go further beyond, stacking Super Saiyan and FSSJ. However, Mira shows up and boosts the Androids (and possibly has a chat with a peeking Bardock) before leaving again, meaning that Gohan is now fighting for his life before barely escaping in the time machine and ending up in the present.
When does Team Saiyan come together?
Team Saiyan is not a long-running group, and only comes together about a month before present day. Beforehand, the groupings are as follows:
Vegeta/Nappa
Bardock/Gine
Tarble/Gure
Raditz
Paragus/Broly
Who are Inyon and Rigor?
Who? Never heard of 'em.
