The Life of a Half-Saiyan (Thread1) (DBZ)

You know if Gossards sibling's have any kids and they are a paficests can you imagine his reaction to them trying to explain the power of non-violent peaceful protest. He will think something is very wrong with them for not knowing Power=Violence and then they get to have a I'll make a Saiyan out of you montage vacation with uncle Gossard. Or even worse one of Gossards kids or all of them are paficests.

Hm so it's:
1. Moon stays safe
2. Goku returns
3. Master Legendary Saiyan
4. Mediate w/ Piccolo on Instinct.

Not bad, hopefully we can finish mastering Green this turn so we can do something else next turn.

We need to do this before we touch any martial art
[ ] [Piccolo] How to train your Ki properly
So we can get this trait
Ki Training: 10/10 - You understand how to train Ki in the basic methods, to train Body, Mind and Soul through generic martial arts workouts. Gain the full bonuses offered by Martial Arts when training
That way, we efficiently maximize our power level gains. Rather than going straight to green martial art training. Or the like and wasting actions.

Also, probably do instinct meditation until we hit @lordchaos99's stated diminishing returns. Right now, we still drop around 30 points every meditate it appears like. So we should keep doing it until the meditate action rewards start to drop. Which means it'd be time to do something else.

Well, no. I do think there'd be some kind of RNG. Meant drop to something like 5-0 or something for 2 turns without anything in the update changing things.

I'm hoping that won't happen until we get instinct like 400 though.
 
Last edited:
Well, no. I knew other things dropped it too. I was hoping meditation still helped though.

Ah man, I hope we haven't already hit diminishing returns.
 
Given the 6 month chunks that turns take place in, I was operating under the assumption most actions hit DR fairly quickly. Hence the importance of learning various martial art styles in order to extend the benefits gained from training in them, etc.

Meditation's an important habit to ingrain in Gossard from an early age, but it can't last forever; he needs to discover other ways to sate his animal instincts. Preferably before puberty sets in.

That way, we efficiently maximize our power level gains.

Maximizing PL gains somehow sounds both redundant and self-defeating.
 
Maximizing PL gains somehow sounds both redundant and self-defeating.
The thing is, if we're going to be learning martial arts anyway. Why not maximize their effects? Otherwise, we can just do what we were doing and just focus on stuff like mastering transformations for the lower instinct.

The main reason to learn martial arts in the first place is to gain power level and potential. Otherwise, It'd be better to just get by on pure modifiers and instinct to keep our base power level low.

Ah, you know I just noticed that Ki Training is a different thing from Efficient Application of Ki, and is quite literally just the basics of managing your ki while working out.

I was under the impression you were full-on advocating learning ki attacks before touching martial arts because it exploited some esoteric benefit the QM tangentially mentioned, rather than because it's a thing Gohan already has and is more or less a prerequisite to learning Martial Arts properly.

I'm on board with that plan now, sorry for being snippy without double checking what you meant.
 
THE LEGENDARY HALF-HUMAN! GOSSARD BRIEFS
You are Gottex Briefs, and you are...kind of hungry really. And have a short attention span.
You crawl away, a lock of pink hair fading into ebony black. Probably nothing important. Ooh cookie dough Nom.

You happily devour the treat your mind wandering back to Buru. He seemed a bit more, what's the word. Smart. He seems more attentive lately. Maybe it's his age, or maybe you are finally inspiring confidence and leadership with your presence as you should. Either way, he plays with you now, though he always avoids the Sparkythings. It's hilarious when you make his hair stand on end, he looks so silly.
You look down at your hands confused. Where did the cookie dough go? You like cookie dough. To take your mind off the grief and loss of your treat you focus your mind on the Yellow one. He and the Green one like showering those cool sparks. You wanna do that! You will do that.
You tap your fingers clumsily on the ground, counting out the beat within your head. The drumming.
The drumming.
The never-ending drumbeat of your soul.
You draw your other hand through the air, feeling the wind of the motion define your fingers. Then you simply expand them. A wreath of crimson energies forms around your fingers as you wriggle them. The crimson aura pulsing in time with the Drumming.

---

You are Gohan Briefs, and you are a Super Saiyan.
You feel rather comfortable in this form now, gone are the pangs of grief tugging at your soul, gone is the growling primal need for revenge. You sit on the ground, legs folded underneath you, your head bowed. Golden locks falling still, the false wind of the form quelled to nearly nothing. You raise your hands impossibly slowly, preserving the atmosphere without needing to reinforce it. A ball of golden light forming within your outer palm
"Masenko." You intone, calling forth a golden spear with the barest of efforts, a speck of your true power blossoming forth, moving at impossibly slow speeds because of it's relative weakness.
You then move, scorching the earth beneath your feet as the atmosphere blooms with impact heat. Fusion threatens and only then do you expand the protection of your skin to the air around you and the pleasant tingling halts.
You catch the destructive Ki you had just emitted and instantly redirect it to the side and repeat the process.
Around and around you shift, breathing in and out every few seconds. Acting thousands of times within that span, more. The world is a snapshot to you and nothing more.
You reach within yourself, touching the brightest spark of your Energies. The source of your transformation but you can never push yourself up to match it's radiance, your Ki never that bright, or that deep a colour.
So you begin again. Each time you redirect the Masenko blast you remove and add to it, watching how it's Ki shifts as you flay your own attack. Watching yourself indirectly.

To the outside observer you have vanished, and a perfect diamond outline made of brilliant light appears as a cohesive whole that sustains itself.
But it is not enough. You can feel it, right on the edge of understanding. Something Beyond the Super Saiyan, something purely Yellow unlike the crushing power of the Orange/Yellow cross. Your fingertips scrabbling at the sides but no further. You feel it burn within you, but whenever you try to bring it out it becomes like a candle in the wind. Snuffed out, and with it your Super Saiyan transformation.

---

You are Gossard Briefs, and "I am NOT the LEGENDARY SAIYAN!"
You roar your denial to the heavens, your hair turning from purple to black. The first time you had done so consciously. You smirk with contentment, reaching for the Green and twisting it back on.
Green bursts into the blueness of the sky as youweYOU banish yourself from your own mind. You feel shock from the link, now established. And feel yourself, and within yourself, Him. Another Legend you had been forcing in and out of the transformation. Months of it, snatches of freedom. You feel yourselfhim reach for your mind but you ignore it. Youhe areis much weaker in comparison to you, especially now.
You stretch yourself in the ecstasy of the moment. A flicker of You reaches out deceptively casual and then expands into pure destruction.
"I am Not the Legendary Saiyan, I am GOSSARD BRIEFS! The Legendary Half-Human Prince of All! Especially mind-absorbing green energies like This!" You cackle in pure Power, flash-stepping around the sky until a hundred ki-infused images remain including yourself. Go(ssar)d you are one awesome specimen, you think to yourself as you look at ninety nine past versions of yourself all held in place by an optical illusion and a minor little Ki trick.
"Uh, that's very nice and all, but I don't think Momma is the ruler of everything Gossard." Gohan interjects "Also, how do I know this isn't another trick?"
"Because I'm awesome and can understand basic human emotions unlike the little ball of hivemind knocking on my mental door? And if Momma is not ruler of everything, then why did she have us? Clearly as the best most powerful beings to ever exist who have tapped into both the Green and the Yellow before preschool we must only have the best Momma ever who is the ruler of all with her iron fist of tyranny. Or is destined to become as such due to our help, either way." You explain the self-evident facet of existence, wondering why Gohan couldn't understand that. Of course the strongest could only come from the best Momma, and of course you are the strongest.
Why is Gohan sighing?

---

You are Son Goku, and you are back! Also probably have some kind of transformation of some kind, you are rather more focused on the beautiful lady whose house you live in and the food she makes the cooks create.
You've been gone a long time, but you finally see a person without a halo. Oh, also your three beautiful half-alien children.
"Uh Bulma, weren't there two little babies who could shatter buildings when I left? Which one is this?" You ask confused, picking the littlest one up. She is adorable, you'd eat her up. But you won't because cannonballism is wrong and she is so cute.
"Goku did...Goku we talked about this, through King Kai's telepathic link." Bulma looks annoyed again, you missed that look, it always made your tail wag. When you had a tail, which was rather a lot of the time you knew her.
Your tail starts to wag "Well yeah, but you didn't say she was this strong, and she smells like a Guardian...oh my Kami, is she the new Guardian for the Lookout? Aww they grow up so fast."
Bulma looks rather stunned you had some detective reasoning, so you take the opportunity to put your latest and femalest son on your shoulders and lift into the air. You feel her try and chew your hair.
"I'm gonna show her the Lookout! Can never start too early with job training you know."
"Goku that's not" Bulma says something, but you are already gone to show Gottex her new office building.

---

You look suspiciously at the odd golden ball on the hat, while your twin Gohan holds a copy
"Now I couldn't pick which one of you should get it, but then I found out there were two sets now! I mean, I had to get Mr Popo to do weird stuff to make it not look stone and it one won't really work without Kami around." You don't know what you have to do with it, but you aren't missing. Either way, of course the Daddy (which you had learned was a title not a name, his name was Goku) gave you the broken one. He must have known you were onto him
"Oh well, it's not really for Wishin, it's for good luck." He puts the two hat-balls on your heads. You plot to swap your orange ball with four orange stars for Gohan's black-starred variant as soon as he sleeps.

---

You are the Namekian whose name is lost in time, you are the only surviving Super Namek you know of.
You are guiding two young prodigies. Watching them delve into themselves. Their power frightens you, as do their minds. Both in their brilliance and in their dark depths.
They truly are twins, equal and opposite. Power raw and unfiltered mirrored with perfect control.
Boundless potential in both, but in Gossard it grew greater and with that greater came with it the depths, instincts and compulsions that stain that part of his mind the colour of his hair.
The unshaped dagger in the back, and the perfectly controlled axe. Two contradictions in terms in the opposite measure and yet both equally deadly despite that. And together...
You have not had them spar, you do not wish to know how deep their teamwork or their knowledge of the other goes. But in the most subtle and blatant ways they act in unison. You did not ask them to match breath patterns, in fact you had given them each two different timings and yet they, unconsciously, had found the middle ground.

You watch two half-saiyans meditate, and give a silent plea of mercy to the Kais on behalf of whoever fought both at once, for they would need every aid imaginable. Also you plan to have Words later with their father about giving them Dragonballs. ESPECIALLY giving a Black-Star ball to anyone. ESPECIALLY Gossard.


You have 3 actions to choose from and are currently 3 and a half years old. Also, Things are going to start happening. Including a rather dangerous event because of butterflies, rolling and a couple of choices you made. You may want to think about how to use your Power.

So I quickly reviewed the DBZ timeline and made a quick list of important events that are coming up, assuming the canon timeline is mostly adhered to.

The with asterisks(*) are indicating events I think are likely to be affected by Butterflies, and question marks(?) are indicating events of unknown canonicity.

Fair warning that I drew this up quickly, relied mostly on the timeline's Wiki page for my information, and am assuming there will both be no timeskips and that turns will continue to consist of half a year apiece.

EDIT: Oh wow, update came while I was writing this.

This way Gossard learns some things and it can lead to sparring with Gohan. Sparring with someone should be a way to work out some aggression/lower some instinct. Learning about the basics of Ki now that he can control the legendary form (technically) is good because it'd be a good first step to learning how to use Ki attacks eventually.

I also think learning the basics of Ki and learning martial arts might offer a surprising amount of synergy together.

Now that we have control over the Green, I think it's safe for us to start learning how to use ki, shaping and training them should synergize and I want to learn Mr. Piccolo's style so Gohan don't beat us there.

Ah, shit. This means Butterfly enemies. I'd guess it's either one of the earlier movie villains (Wheelo, Turles or Lord Slug), or Broly's about to start knocking at our doorstep.

Gossard's doing mentally well enough at the moment that I'm comfortable devoting this turn to combat readiness.

Reasoning:

This should be sufficient to make use of our stupid-high PL without relying entirely on echoes in Legendary. Ki Training is a prereq to get the proper use out of martial styles, and I'm going with Turtle over Demon (or anything else) because it'll make the most of our Endurance. It'll also help us bond a little with Real Dad by demonstrating he, also, knows stuff we'd like to know.

Shaping ki is necessary if we actually want to make use of our PL for anything, and I think Gossard can be (mostly) trusted with it at this point.

I'd ideally like to grab the Ki Shield from Broly too, because that's stupid useful, but we've only got so many action slots.

I figure since Gohan already has Demon King Piccolo style mastered we should master Turtle style. Besides i want that kamehameha.
