Perika, that's a take off of Peprika isn't it?

[] [NAME] Bonny
[ ][FORMAL] You are the Scion of Goku, future Lady, and someday ruler of fully half of the Exiles.

This will be my vote.

I'm fine with most names, though I do think that we should give her some sort of clan name / last name, whether it's ours or a new one for her.

I was thinking to make her last name Saiya, both because it's thematically appropriate and because it won't imply any sort of association with a group of living Saiyans. (And would work as a name for a union of Houses Goku and Vegeta, incidentally.)
Then I realized that her first name would also need to be unaffiliated. So, well, I have a write-in. @PoptartProdigy?
[ ][NAME] Saiya, after the original home planet of our race. Appropriate to the woman who's likely the first pure Saiyan in many millennia, and incidentally, a somewhat minimized infohazard. You can come up with a Masque name when she has a way to conceal her Ki.

If you want to go that route, Bonny should be the Masque name. How about:
[ ][NAME] Banan (pronunciation: BA-NAN), Masque name Bonny. You don't know why, it just feels right.
I would also be prepared to accept Anana as her Saiyan name. It just feels wrong to only give her a human name when she isn't human at all.

She would only be the first pure saiyan in centuries, not millennia.
 
[][NAME]She was born on namek so she should have a namekian name like tuba.

I kinda want to name her Bulma, After

1)the Amazing Bulma Brief, best scientist/engineer ever

2)the Bulma from the Saiyan tournament, basically one of (if not THE most) skilled Saiyan fighter in living memory, probably second only to Endivan and Goku/Vegeta in the whole Saiyan history. I mean, if I remember right she was at about 6-8 millions and was easily capable of keeping up with 15 millions capped professional circuit fighters.

Basically she's named after two very special people, to remark about how special she herself is. She is the first pureblooded Saiyan in centuries, she was literally wishborn, and for all we know the dragon made her a ki mutant or gave her magic/psy potential.

She certainly has the potential to live up to the name.

Also couldn't we actually use Wishborn for the house name/last name? It fits.

Once we get back we could probably give her some role that justifies her knowing the ssj transformation if we need to (something like a royal guard? First member of a new ssj elite squad? We'll need more ssj at some point anyway, she can be the first), though that probably won't be as big a problem as it would have been in the past. After all there is a good chance some of the Senzu will reach for the transformation while we're gone if they just can create wards strong enough to stay hidden while training

Maybe Tubar as a name? It is a pun on Tubers and Tuba so it fits both Saiyan and Namekian convention, like Pan is both bread, Pan flute and the god for the Son/Namek/Satan convention.

Edit: Actually, I know what name I want to give her. We are responsible for her since we are a leader of our people, the one teaching her about saiyan culture and the closest thing she has to a family; furthermore, in exile society, family, Houses and clan are key social structures for the mental wellbeing of individuals (Jaffur excluded). As such, I feel bad for the nameless saiyan and wish to take her under our wing, however, it would be dangerous to adopt her into our House to give her one right now, since it hints at a connection to Earth and puts both her and Garenhuld in denger.

Thus, I wish to give her our name in a different way: Zanaria, as a saiyan name, comes from Zanahoria, the Spanish word for carrot, from which Kakarot and Kakara come. I think it is a good ooc symbolism for us choosing to take care of her and a nod to Kakarot as hero of Namek (does it still count as a hero if the planet blew up?). It just seems fitting.

Okay. A Saiyan brought into existence to be a protector of New Namek.

Saiyan names are puns on vegetables.

Namek is derived from "slug". Dragon clan Namekians have names that are puns on "snail". Demon clan Namekians have names that are puns on instruments.

Now we could go for a gender-bent Piccolo because its an instrument that sounds like "pickle".

But, I was thinking choosing a name based on a vegetable slugs/snails love. Bonus points if it can be stretched to an instrument, but the first two are more important to me.

* * *

Now according to SlugHelp.com
Absolute slug magnets
  • green salad (lettuce, pickle salad – red varieties are more resilient)
  • almost all types of cabbage (Brussels sprouts, Savoy cabbage, white cabbage, red cabbage, pointed cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc.)
  • strawberries (not the leaves, but the fruits)
  • pepper plants
  • zucchini, courgettes (unfortunately, also the fruits)
  • pumpkin (especially the young plants, rarely the fruits)
  • cucumbers (as long as they're still small)
  • kohlrabi (cabbage turnip)
  • beans (shrimp and runner beans)
  • mustard
  • celery (especially the young plants)
  • buckwheat
  • cress.
They also like (second choice)
  • lentils
  • radishes
  • chili plants
  • spinach
  • carrots
  • asparagus
  • peas.
Herbs that slugs like to eat
  • basil
  • lemon verbena
  • parsley (young plants)
  • dill (cucumber herb)
  • marjoram (sometimes).

okay. So, I am thinking something based on cucumber then. (which still relates back to Pickle-->Piccolo then...

...and now I am stuck.

*edit*

Oh! This is great!

Sure he's a villain, but get this!

In the game it is shown that Cunber is summoned by the Dragon Balls after Fu makes a wish with them.

So, how about...



[ ] Cunber. A really old Saiyan name ought to be appropriate for the first full-blooded Saiyan in centuries. And for some reason you feel its really appropriate. Huh.

Can we make it a little more feminine and call her Cumbra?

I thought about transforming it to make it more feminine, but DBZ names don't follow any pattern I can discern.

Just look at Vegeta, Nappa, Freeza...

So, I treated the name as gender neutral.

Now, if the voters prefer to change up the name, I will jump on the bandwagon.

Drat. I guess we'll have to take it again, with a note to do the action before any other training actions.

As for the vote, I'm not good with names. The vote about how we present ourself is more important than just modesty/pride though, it's saying whether or not we can make promises that are binding right now, or if we might be overruled until we're the Lady. I'll have to think about it.
 
[X][NAME] Boraga of the House Balaika
[X][FORMAL] You are the Scion of Goku, future Lady, and someday ruler of fully half of the Exiles.

Reasoning on name:
-Alliteration
-Pun on both a vegetable/herb, and an instrument
-B-based names
-Actually not hard to spell or say, I think.
-The names invoke both the Saiyan people and the Namekian people, giving a nod to our new friend's effective dual heritage.
 
[X][NAME] You decide that Perika sounds like a good name. Saiyan, pretty -- what's not to like?
-[X] Suggest she ask the Namekians for a second name or Namekian name rather then a human name. As a child of two worlds she should honor them both.

I am not sure if giving her a House name is a good idea at this point. Not only any non Namekian she introduces herself to would ask what she means by House (since it implies a society and not a Namekian one so they would wonder where did that come from) but Houses are there to give support to their members so a single person House kind of defeats the point, as it sets her apart from others.

I mean, I'd assume Kakara is smart enough to explain infohazards and not giving her house name to everyone. The Wishborn Saiyan is clearly smart, she just barely knows anything. She's learning stupid-quick, she just has a lot of info to take in.

And to me it's a recognition that she's a champion of Namek, and likely to end up being someone with enough clout to found her own House.

EDIT: We could split the difference and make her House part of the larger House Goku.

@PoptartProdigy is that a viable method of approaching things?

I think we should go with a proper Saiyan name, so Bonny's out, & I share the misgivings about inventing her a one-member House right now. Plus TBH I just find "Boraga" aesthetically displeasing. Rest of these all look fine though.

People do not typically introduce themselves as belonging to a House outside or extremely formal situations involving other Exiles. In normal conversation, your House name acts as your surname (thus, "Kakara Goku," or, "Jaffur Vegeta").

Claiming her as part of Clan Goku is possible, albeit likely to irritate Jaffur when you get home. You lack the authority to adopt her into your House.

As One splits you off, you turn to Porunga, hanging overhead. "Great Porunga, why do you live within the Dragon Balls?" you ask, watching out of the corner of your eye as One sinks to the ground and enters yet another vision. You wince. You're probably going to have a headache later from all these.

"AS I SAID, MY REASONS ARE MY OWN," grumbles Porunga.

'No, I too would like to know,' says Dazarel, peering out from behind One. After a second to verify that it's safe, he steps out and faces Porunga. 'Why lessen yourself like this?'

Porunga's gaze flashes. "YOU HAVE POWER, LITTLE ONE, BUT PRECIOUS LITTLE WISDOM, IF YOU CAN SEE ONLY MY TEMPORAL WEAKNESS."

Dazarel bares his teeth. 'Perhaps then you can enlighten me.'

Porunga snorts. "YOU ARE IMPUDENT. WITH THE ABILITIES I HAVE AS A WISHING DRAGON, I AM SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER CREATURE. THAT MY ACTIONS ARE CONSTRAINED DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY ARE MEANINGLESS. ON MY ACTIONS TURNS THE FATE OF CIVILIZATIONS. I HOLD DOMINION OVER THE DREAMS OF THE NAMEKIANS. I AM SOMETHING BEYOND THE TYPICAL BEING, AND IN MY ASSESSMENT OF TYPICAL BEINGS, I INCLUDE YOU, DAZAREL."

Your dragon companion snarls. 'I am no ordinary being.'

"FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, YOU ARE AS LIMITED AS THOSE YOU DISDAIN."

Dazarel half-lunges forward. "I could not be killed by a single shot from a mere planetary despot who could not even secure one planet!"

Porunga's eyes narrow. "I AM NOT SHENRON...BUT YES. THAT IS CORRECT; YOU COULD NOT BE. YOU COULD INSTEAD BE BOUND INTO THE FORM OF AN INFANT BY A BEING AS FAR ABOVE YOU AS YOU ARE ABOVE INSECTS. I DO NOT FIND ONE MORE IMPRESSIVE THAN THE OTHER. DEFEAT IS DEFEAT."

You sigh to yourself. This could be going better.

As the two dragons continue sniping at one another, you see One stirring. She winces, holding her forehead.

"What's wrong?" you ask.

"What's it look like?" she grouses, pinching at her head. "Headache. Recursive visions are horrible. Now I'm seeing myself sitting here waiting for a vision, now I'm seeing a second of what happens if I leave and talk to Bassoon, now I'm seeing myself waiting really intently for a vision. Gah." She opens her eyes. "I don't wanna know how long Future Us had to train in order to have that kind of recursion set up for us."

You sigh. "So, nothing?"

"Not that we could use," she growls, standing up. "Right, hang on a second."

And then you merge.

You blink, reintegrating memories for a second, and then shake your head. Yeah, nothing at all.

You look at Dazarel. "Hey. Hey, Dazarel."

He cuts off mid-sentence and looks over his shoulder at you. 'Yes?'

"We're heading out," you say.

He nods and turns to you, hopping up onto your shoulders.

Porunga's eyes, high up above, narrow. "YOU DO NOT INTEND TO FREE ME?"

You shiver at the menace in his tone. "I intend to talk to Bassoon and get his help in clearing out this trap," you say. "The Dragon Clan can help to clean this up better than I can just by blasting."

Porunga grumbles. "I DO NOT ENJOY THIS DELAY...BUT VERY WELL. I WILL AWAIT YOUR RETURN, SCION."

You nod. "I will be back."

He nods. "SEE THAT YOU ARE."

You push down the twinge of indignation you get at the imperative, reminding yourself that you don't actually want to get into an argument with the Dragon of Dreams. You then turn and blast off into the sky before heeling over.

'What do you intend?' asks Dazarel.

"Blasting out," you reply. "I'm a psychic and a super saiyan. I really doubt that this trap is meant to hold me."

You hear Dazarel sighing and huddling in on himself in preparation. You laugh. Then, in a burst of golden light, you transform and surge off towards the horizon. As you go, you reform the lightning shield around your mind, focusing on an internal thread of I am me, I am untouchable, you cannot touch me. You fly, the ground blurring past beneath you. You hurtle across the landscape at such excessive speed that you swiftly notice that this plain is flat; that there is no planet here, that you could fly in a straight line forever and never need to course correct.

You fly so quickly that you find the edge. For a moment, the surroundings strain, your eyes watering as space warps and twists.

And in the next moment, the trap fails utterly, and you pass into the world beyond.
