Super Saiyan

From the faraway planet Vegeta, the Saiyans are the most fearsome warriors in the galaxy. Able to channel their Ki into unique transformations that enhance their speed and strength. For thousands of years, the Saiyans have ravaged planets under the rule of clan Vegeta. in fact, their fighters are so formidable, only a handful of soldiers are able to take over an entire planet alone. Even so, there exists a smaller force of Saiyan warriors called Super Saiyans. These elite soldiers are able to transform their bodies, granting them even greater physical strength, speed, and power

Creating a Super Saiyan

When creating a Super Saiyan, consider why you left Planet Vegeta. Were you sent on a mission to destroy a planet? Perhaps you ran away from your duty, disagreeing with the savagery of your race. Is it power that drives you, or a desire to protect others?

Also consider how your Saiyan powers manifest. Do you fight with raw unbridled power to overcome your enemies through brute force? Or do you focus on technique over power, honing your skill to overcome the strongest of foes?

Lastly, what pushed you to become a Super Saiyan? Was it a moment of extreme pain, fighting for your life or the life of another? Was it anger that first helped you ascend to this power? Or was it the loss of a loved one that made you what you are today?
