Something monumental thing has just happened that will impact the destiny of multiple universes whether the culprit knows the scale of the said wish or not. It's quite simple really a wish was made on Super Dragon Balls to restore all the universe erased by Zeno the one above all. The homes of participants and more saved and everybody that participated or spectated the so-called 'tournament of power' can rest easy knowing they are safe from the whims of gods... For now.

Sadly you are not one of these demigods or even their associate you don't even know something so monumental has even happened. You are just a lowly mortal in Universe 7 that lives on a backwater planet named earth. While many bad things have happened the planet in the past you just know everything will be fine as you know Mr.Satan will defend you all just like when he defeated Cell for the first time when you were 5 years old and just recently Beebus and scared away Galbee the Snackian champion.

Years later shortly after you turned 15 years old you have come upon a frightening realization Mr. Satan is not immortal and as such will die eventually and as far as you can remember he has no official apprentices thought others speculate its likely that his daughter will most likely take over the position of the defender when he passes the torch. Though it's not a guarantee that he truly has a successor so you sought out the elder of your small tribe to step up your training in your people's mystic arts just so you can eventually present your self to him as a possible heir or at least sidekick to who he deems his her. It's doubtful he will accept you as his standards likely are too tough for you but you will still try your best. When you presented your request and reasoning to the grand elder he seemed amused and quite willing to give you extra work. Granted you cursed him whenever the training would end for the day.

Now of the cusp of adulthood at the age of 18, you set out to broaden your horizons meat new people and explore the world in general. It's necessary because the elder refuses to teach you his best skill before you gain some real-life experience and let the world test your dedication towards the goal of becoming the new guardian and by proxy inheriting the title of worlds strongest.

Name
[] Make it a pun.

You are an earthling through and through not a drop of alien blood in your body thought that means not you are ordinary as you are not human as the regular Dragon Ball had a big number of other thinking species.
[] Beastmen. (not humans with just animal ears and tail)
-[] Species.
[] Merpeople. (will have a floating water bubble as a gift to move on the surface)
[] Giras.
[] Write in as long as it fits early dragon ball it's viable.

Gender.
[] Male
[] Female

Now, all big journies need to start somewhere your elder directed you to.
[] Mount five elements where his old friend Annin lives taking care of a great furnace and according to elder can give teachings in regards to spirits.
[] A temple that belongs to an old master named Chappa according to elder he witnessed true power in one of the world martial arts championships and sadly once more in king piccolos return invasion. ever since then, he strove to achieve said strength with limited success.

AN: This thing came to me as I was browsing the Dragon Ball WIKI and I read the whole page dedicated to Hercule and thought to my self that guy really has a good reputation with the public. Would be funny if someone set out on an epic quest to become strong with him as a goal as he is not the best. And here we are. As we are not even Sayan Saga strength and don't know anything about Z-fighters IC we won't meat them for a long while I wanna see how far I can take this without using the usual cast.

Character Sheet

Ignore elbow blades and replace the one on the snout with shorter one made of bone. If someone can find or make more species accurate pic I would be thankful.
[Name] Gilan
[Species] Giras
[Gender] Male
[KI] Full

[Advantiges]
Strong build (above-average) - Your whole body structure is geared towards the pursuit of strength and endurance. Which is obvious really as you tower over the average earthling.
Natural Flight (semi-limited) - Your can fly freely but long term flight is exhausting as is its use in combat is limited due to how energy intensive fighting is.
Instinctual KI Infusion (average) - Your species instinctively knows how to infuse KI in other things enhancing them. Usually used on your own spit to trap prey.

[Disadvantiges]
Big target (small) - While Giras naturally big and broad build is an asset in moust cases it is also a somewhat of a disadvantage against fast opponents. Thankfully your training has helped you with this a bit.
Easily Annoyed (average) - Giras are primarily carnivores although they can eat other food it just falls flat to meat as such aggression comes naturally to them.
Obsession (big) - You goal to prove your worth to Mr.Satan as next defender if anthing has grown stronger since the start of your extra training there's just no other path conceivable for you its full steam ahead.

[Styles & Special Skills]
Giras Brawling (expert) - your people don't practice martial arts they fight each other building up experience and learning to trust their instinct to guide them sadly strong instinct can be just as dangerous as helpful sometimes if untamed and let to run wild.
Ki Infusion (competent) - KI Infusion the secret art of your people. Enhancing or even drawing out hidden properties of other things.
- Super Sticky Spit (standard) - Liquid that is used by hunters taught to you by elder able to stop charging bull easily unknown how well it will do against other KI users.
- Wind Blast (flawed) - mostly invisible and caries about as much force as one of your hard punches. Sadly it's really inefficient as you have problems with how dispersed and free moving the air is.

Nice to have you participating. It looks fine except for one thing. Could please change her species as I specified that we are not human.

Not a problem. Hm... Interesting choice can you explain your reasoning since a mermaid just apeard once as a joke in show.
Mostly, because when I think of Merpeople, I think of water-manipulation power(tsunamis!), capable of talking to the sea's fauna and all that. DB didn't develop much on that species like the beastmen people so it leaves a lot of opportunities. Especially when we start being pro-efficient with Ki energy.

Yes, my idea of starting skills for merpeople choice is a bit if spear skill and enough water magic to move her bubble and use it as a file source of small water spells. Her knowledge of KI will be it exists and not much else.

I picked Giras because that race is one of the naturally strongest earthling races on the planet. Plus it amuses me to have an actual dragon race in dragonball.

As for the temple, I think everyone just wants to see Champa and get him more involved with the Z-Fighters. The man was a legitimate World Martial Arts champion in his own right and the way he was just treated as cannon fodder was terrible. Plus Champa has a bunch of other students, meaning we can teach more people ki skills this way.

I agree the treatment was a disrespectful as you said which is mater of course for dragon ball if you are not a part of MC crew or a true enemy. As for getting him to Z-Fighters remember this is after Tournament of Power so he is nowhere close in power even if he is sronk by pre Raditz standards. Stronger than goku was fighting his brother but not as strong as Raditz I say. Also, he is an old man now its been decades and he was definitely late 20ties early 30tie when he fought Goku.

He's been training non-stop for decades, so I imagine he's pretty good.

On the other hand, Roshi is something like 400 years old at this point.

I figured out that its been 23 years since 22nd (or did he show up in 23rd?) tournament so head in his 50ties or 60ties.
Also true but the man probably jacks himself on immortality cures. He lost the phoenix to food poisoning but the water of fountain of youth and the mystic grass dose wonders I imagine. Why chose one when you can get them all. (Also side note quest for the fountain meat the Kaiju?)

Supposedly he got to immortality via skill with ki centuries ago, but didn't do it until he was already an old man.

The other stuff is to make him younger/more vigorous which he can't do via pure skill.

It's so hard to keep up with his immortality trivia it gets new stuff added so often. Which is a moot point anyways since Chappa wouldn't even know where to start in making the skill and Turtle is not sharing. (Besides I need a reason\motivation for Fountan of youth adventure.)

I mean, easy answer there is that he's just not quite as skilled/motivated as Muten "trained by Mutaito himself, lived through the King Piccolo era" Roshi so has yet to reach the point of immortality.

Not his focus anyway right now he just wants to pass his skills to his children and pupils so they continue building on it. Immortality is not even on his mind really.

That's still more then good enough for my plans.

See, have you ever noticed that in earth's martial arts community, the scale goes Crane/Turtle schools>Everyone Else? Doesn't matter when you look, that scale remains the same. The reason why, is the long term effect of the original King Piccolo Wars. See during Old King Green's original rampage, he had murdered most of the earth's total population by the time Master Mutaito sacrificed himself to seal Piccolo away.

It took centuries for earth to recover from all the death and lose of knowledge, and the martial arts community was no different. Ki isn't something instinctual for earthlings like it is for Saiyans or Namekians and other races, it's a learned skill and like any learned skill can become lost if everyone who knows it dies. After Piccolo was sealed it wouldn't be much of an exaggeration to say that Roshi, Shen and Tao were the only earthlings left alive who knew not only that ki was a thing but also how to consciously tap into and use it.

So when Roshi and Shen went off and formed their own respective martial arts schools, they had a massive leg up compared to all the new schools being formed in the Post-Piccolo era who had to basically reinvent the wheel based on stories and what martial arts knowledge managed to survive Piccolo's purge outside of Shen and Roshi.

This is well not fine, its rather horrifying to contemplate, but understandable. The part where Roshi, Shen and even Tao all failed at was not realizing(or caring) that knowledge of higher level martial arts in the world was now for all intents and purposes virtually extinct. Roshi and Shen went on acting like legendary martial arts masters, living outside of what remained of civilization and forcing people to track them down and only training those they thought were "worthy" or "had the talent"(not even going into Tao fucking around as a wondering mercenary assassin who occasionally helps his brother with training his students). That behavior, training only the "Cream of the Crop" is fine when there's an actual thriving crop of martial artists in the world, not when everything is destroyed. What they should have done is travel to where the largest concentrations of people still remained and teach everyone regardless of talent, to just do their very level best to preserve and spread their knowledge outside the three of them so that there is a potential crop of high level martial artists in the future. Instead we got a world where even students with just a few months or a couple of years of training in their respective schools were able to dump on World Champions as long as said Champions weren't also Crane and Turtle school members.


Now as of Super we know that Tien is actually changing this, because he actually has a school with over a dozen students and if the lore from Dragonball Online is any indication, after Gohan publishes a scientific paper on ki(and Hercule and Pan(mainly Pan) increases the popularity of martial arts via their online training course system) Krillin will open his own Turtle School to the public and even Trunks and Goten will have their school as well.

But that still keeps things restricted to just three main schools. Champa's got a big ass school already with many students, and if he's stronger then Goku was in the Raditz fight, then he's definitely gotten good enough to help bring about the Ki Revolution(especially if he's gone around and acquired martial artists with good techniques to add to his school like Ranfan with her Heat Punch, Nam and his ki sensing or absorbing good schools like the Chin Star School). Not enough to compete with the Crane and Turtle school as they are right now, not after all the divine and otherworldly training they've had from Kami and King Kai(plus what they've done on their own to try and keep up with the saiyans) but enough for a good start and put his school's name on the map.

Good enough for an enterprising and PR conscious student(you know, someone like Hercule, or one of his fans) can use it to spread ki awareness to the masses. Especially if interacting with the Z-Fighters can get us some of that same otherworldly training to bring back to our school(Big Goals, learn the Kaioken, Spirit Bomb, Instant Transmission and Old Kai's Potential Unlock(not just have our own potential unlocked, actually learn Old Kai's method of doing it and bring the skill back to the school)).

That wasn't an issue of size, there are plenty of fighters in dragonall who are huge but scary fast(Nappa, Recoome, Burter, Second Form Frieza, 16, Kale, Toppo, Jiren, Broly, etc.). The issue that Trunks faced, was because all he was doing was inflating his muscles. His body skeleton still remained the same, sized for a guy with much smaller muscles, resulting in his limbs needing to travel longer distances to do what he wanted(hence slowing him down) in addition to the energy expenditure of said transformation crippling his endurance. A naturally big and stocky guy has his whole body planed around being that big, and a naturally big and stocky fighter has his entire fighting style used to being big and stocky(another problem Trunks had, he kept fighting like normal rather then changing his fighting style on account of his new muscles).

It all comes down to body type and Trunks just didn't have the body type to get away with muscles that big.
