GOODIES
Goku
Goku is the hero of Dragonball Z. He is a peaceful, good-natured, honest, trusting, and
protective soul. He is also the most powerful warrior on Earth and the first to become a
Super Saiyan in over 1000 years. Having honed his skills and strengthened his spirit to a
level never achieved by any being on Earth, Goku is able to fly, shoot energy beams from
his hands, move at incredible speeds and, when in a pinch, power-up to a fighting level so
high it creates an energy aura around his body and makes him turn blond with green eyes...
becoming in effect a walking nuclear war. Goku hasn't learned these skills just for fun,
his life is forced down this path as he battles the evil Saiyans in the final battle to
save the Earth.
When the Saiyans arrive on Earth it is a shock in more ways than one. Goku finds out the
mysterious secret of his own past: he is Saiyan formerly known as Kakarot who was sent to
Earth as a baby with the mission to conquer the planet. Luckily for Earth a near fatal
head injury "scrambles" his programming and instead of becoming a destructive
super-warrior he becomes an innocent pure-of-heart defender of Earth. Goku was raised by a
peaceful, wise old man named Gohan, after whom Goku later names his first son. Goku is
always there to help his family and friends and he is very protective of them. If he has a
weakness, it is his trusting nature.
Goku has many powerful fighting techniques including the powerful Kamehameha Wave and the
Kaio-ken which he learns from King Kai. His last and most powerful weapon is an immensely
powerful energy ball which garners energy from all sources on the planet, concentrates it
into one sphere, and then releases it in one mighty swoop. This ball can be used only once
and must be guided carefully for it can destroy the planet if used inappropriately.
Gohan
Goku and Chi-Chi's first son, was named after his adoptive grandfather. Physically, he resembles a young Goku right down to the tail and the propensity
to become an uncontrollable raging Giant Monkey, while spiritually, he is good and pure of
heart as well. Because of his protective mother, Gohan starts out as a wimp, but when the
Earth is threatened, he reveals his tremendous potential as a fighter and uncontrollably
"powers up" in order to rescue his father from a desperate situation. Because of
this he is forced into training in preperation for the arrival of the Saiyans. Gohan's
training is at the hands of Piccolo because his father is learning the fighting expertise
of King Kai.
Piccolo and Gohan develop a special bond, which causes Piccolo to step in front of Nappa's mighty blast to save Gohan's life. Gohan's loss of nerve in the battle against the Saiyans cost all his friends dearly. But he is determined to make up for his cowardice by traveling to the planet Namek to find the Namekian Dragon Balls and wish his friends back to life.
Gohan's tremedous power is accounted for by the incredible mix between Earthing and Saiyan, which produces an even stronger being than either Human or Saiyan alone. Even though Gohan becomes the most powerful non-fused character, he never attains the love of fighting that Goku has.
Piccolo
Goku's onetime arch enemy, Piccolo is the second strongest being on Earth. He wears an
extremely heavy cape as constant training for his muscles. He is renowned for his powerful
energy blasts as well as his ability to split into two or four seperate entities. Green
like a lizard, Piccolo has the ability to regenerate any limbs that he may lose in battle.
This comes in handy more than once.
Piccolo is a native of the planet Namek. He was reborn from an older, evil Piccolo, who in his last moments of life spat out an egg, which then hatched into this "new" Piccolo. He starts out fighting against Goku to rule the world, but when the Saiyans arrive Piccolo is forced to join forces with Goku and the others to defeat a greater more powerful evil.
At first the alliance with Goku is uneasy, but as the story unfolds, their bond becomes stronger. Piccolo even steps in to train Goku's son Gohan for the upcoming battle against the Saiyans. Piccolo is confused by the bond he sees with Gohan and by his own actions. Is he training an opponent who is stronger than him, and why does he risk his life to save Gohan's? Gohan sees the good within Piccolo and their relationship brings this good out of Piccolo. In the showdown with Vegeta and Nappa, Piccolo saves Gohan's life by jumping in front of an energy blast targeted at Gohan.
TIEN
Tien is a three-eyed man who was originally trained as an assassin under one of Master
Roshi's rivals. After realizing he did not want to be an
assassin, his best friend Chaiotzu and him switched sides and became Z fighters. Chaiotzu
and Tien can communicate telepathically. His fighting techniques include the ability to
hover in the air, throw concentration bombs, and split into two or four seperate entities.
Tien can stop a waterfall with a blast and crush rocks on his head.
Tien is excited about being trained by Kami to fight the Saiyans. He volunteers to be the first to fight the Saibamen, wins the battle, and goes on to fight against the Saiyans. He loses his best friend when Chaiotzu completes a suicide mission.
CHIAOTZU
This white-skinned, red-cheeked little prince is a devoted companion of
Tien. Noble and unselfish, Chiaotzu does not hesitate to throw
himself onto Nappa's back and self-destruct in an attempt to save his comrades.
YAJIROBE
Yajirobe is one good guy that is not interested in fighting. He
is perfectly content being on the sidelines, usually with food in his mouth, instead of
being in the battle. He doesn't willingly go near danger and isn't willling to go in the
Pendulum Room to train to fight the Saiyans. Yajirobe does come through in the end when he
sneaks up behind the Giant Vegeta Monkey and cuts off his tail. This ends Vegeta's
metamorphosis, greatly reducing his strength, and allows the Z fighters to win the day.
VEGETA
Vegeta is a prince of the planet Vegeta, and is the most powerful and feared of all the
Saiyans. Cunning, ruthless, and cruel in battle, he enjoys
toying with any helpless creature who opposes him. He comes to Earth with Nappa, another
Saiyan, to conquer the planet. Vegeta and Nappa underestimate the Z fighters by thinking
the mission will take only three days, when in fact, they never succeed. Vegeta gets so
fed up with Nappa that he mercilessly kills him. Vegeta looses the battle on Earth, but
escapes death because of Goku's generosity.
Vegeta goes to Namek in search of the Dragon Balls with the wish for immortality. Discovering he cannot defeat Frieza alone, he fights with Gohan and Krillin, and then with Goku and Piccolo when they arrive.
DENDE
Dende is a child from the planet Namek, and is even younger than Gohan. Gohan and Krillin first meet Dende on their trip to the planet Namek to gather
the Dragon Balls. His family was assaulted in battle by Frieza's henchmen. Since that
time, Dende has been watched over by Krillin and Gohan.
With the healing powers the eldest Namek, Guru, bestows on him, Dende becomes an important asset to the Z fighters. On Namek, he saves both Krillin and Vegeta from death. Dende later replaces Kami as the guardian of the Dragon Balls on Earth.
NAIL
Nail is the personal guardian of Guru, the eldest Namek and father of all the Nameks.
His role as personal guardian is very important because Guru is very ill. If Guru should
die, the Dragon Balls will cease to exist on Namek.
Like all Nameks, Nail is aware of the severe consequences of allowing the Dragon Balls to fall into the wrong hands, and is willing to do whatever it takes to prevent this from happening. Nail is a very skilled fighter and later fuses with Piccolo.
KRILLIN
Krillin has been Goku's best friend since they studiedmartial arts together under Master
Roshi as kids. Krillin provides comic relief in tense situations
as he tries to keep up with Goku and some of the other more powerful warriors. But don't
get the idea that he's a helpless buffoon. A good fighter on his own accord, he's always
there to help Goku. He can and has saved his friend's life more than once. In fact,
Krillin unleashes an incredibly powerful energy blast shaped like a flying disc that
literally slices through mountaintops.
Krillin is incredibly dedicated to his friends, especially Goku, and holds friendship in high value. He is willing to fight against the Saibamen and Saiyans even though he doesn't want to die. Goku encourages Krillin to have confidence in his own abilities as Krillin learns to be a remarkable fighter -- that is, for an Earthling..
Krillin volunteers to be one of the crew going to Namek to gather the Namekian Dragon Balls. On this journey he once again gets to prove his loyalty, courage, and fighting skills. His power is enhanced even further by the eldest Namekian, Guru, when he awakens the sleeping power within Krillin. He will need every ounce of this power he has to fight against the evil forces assembled on Namek.
BULMA
Bulma has been around from the beginning. In Dragon Ball, she
was a mixed up teenager with blue hair, a pink outfit, and a personality quirk that
wouldn't allow her to shut up for a second. She was immature,
emotional, self-centered, impatient, argumentative, boy-crazy and given to fits of
hysteria.
Now, she's blossomed into a woman with a lot of the same personality
quirks, but the team would never get along with out her. Bulma is a mechanical genius who
can operate and fix anything. She is the one that discovers the capabilities of the Saiyan
Scouter and enhances it for their own use. It enables her to save the day more than once.
She 
also takes the lead in finding a space
ship to go to Namek and joins Krillin and Gohan in the journey.
YAMCHA
Yamcha is a longtime friend and ally of Goku's that possesses great fighting spirit.
He is usually accompanied by his devoted cat companion Puar, and he is
characterized by his intense fear of women. He is anxious and willing to be trained by
Kami and to join the battle against the Saiyans, even though he understands that the odds
are against them. In the heat of the battle Yamcha volunteers to fight the Saibamen
instead of Krillin because Krillin has already been brought back to life by the Dragon
Balls once, which is the limit.
This good looking warrior still has an attraction for Bulma but stood her up the last time he had a date with her because he didn't have enough money to take her out. Thus, he is hesitant to see her again. Bulma apparently forgives this and contemplates marriage to him, but then Yamcha is eliminated by the Saibamen. Fortunately for Yamcha, he can be brought back to life by the Dragon Balls.
BADIES
FRIEZA
Frieza is the most powerful and evil being in the Universe with no rival being even
close to his strength. Upon learning about the legendary Namekian Dragon Balls, Frieza is
consumed with a desire to summon the Eternal Dragon and wish for immortality. Then he
could rule the Universe, unrivaled, forever.
His ruthlessness is well known. Understanding the capability of the Saiyans as fighters and their uncanny ability to gain strength after recovering from injuries, Frieza knew this one race might one day challenge his pre-eminence. Thus he eliminated their planet and all but a handful of Saiyans who happened to be away at the time.
In his search for the Dragon Balls on Namek, Frieza ruthlessly and predictably eliminates all who get in his way. The very mention of his name strikes dread and fear in the hearts of all who have heard of him. This prompts King Kai to warn Goku not to even think about battling with Frieza.
Frieza has an elite fighting team known as the Ginyu Force. They consist of five beings: Captain Ginyu, Recoome, Guldo, Burter, and Jeice.
CAPTAIN GINYU
Captain Ginyu is the leader and senior member of an elite group
of mercenaries known as the Ginyu Force. One of the unusual
features of the Ginyu Force is their ability to "strike a pose". Captain Ginyu
takes this very seriously, although most of the poses are quite comical. But pity the
rookie who takes this posing lightly, for the militant Captain has no patience with
slackers.
Together with Jeice, Burter and Guldo, this team was hired by the evil Frieza to capture all of the Dragon Balls on the planet Namek, and thereby grant him a wish for whatever he desires.
Captain Ginyu has the ability to switch bodies with an opponent using a special technique.
JEICE
Jeice is one of the members of the elite mercenary group known as the Ginyu Force. He
has super fighting powers and incredible speed. Together with Burter and Captain Ginyu,
the remaining Ginyu Force (two members have already been killed) have been enlisted by the
evil Frieza to rid the planet Namek of all defenders who oppose his efforts to gather the
Dragon Balls, thereby achieving his wish for immortality.
Like all of the Ginyu Force, Jeice does elaborate posing when he begins a fight, and takes his posing very serious. Jeice is one of the younger members on the team, and has a strong, British rock singer accent.
BURTER
Burter is one of the fastest beings alive, and is a member of
the Ginyu Force, a mercenary group of elite fighters enlisted by
the evil Frieza to help him gather the Dragon Balls. Together with Captain Ginyu and
Jeice, the Ginyu Force is to ensure Frieza gains all of the Dragon Balls on Namek,
allowing Frieza to achieve his wish for immortality.
Like all of the Ginyu Force, Burter is very focused on "striking poses", which he does before he engages in a super attack. Although the poses are often very comical in appearance, they are struck with genuine sincerity.
RECOOME
Recoome is a member of the elite fighting team, the
Ginyu Force. He is one of the first of the Ginyu Force to fight
the Z fighters on Namek, and can take a lot of punishment. He almost finishes off Gohan,
but Goku arrives on the planet just in time.
Like all of the Ginyu Force, Recoome is very focused on "striking poses". Recoome is rather comical, especially as his teeth start to fall out.
GULDO
Guldo is a short, four-eyed member of the elite mercenary group known as
the Ginyu Force. He has the ability to freeze time for those
around him by holding his breath. Guldo almost destroys Krillin and Gohan with his time
freeze, but Vegeta steps in and saves them both.
Like all of the Ginyu Force, Guldo takes posing very seriously. He is the first member of the Ginyu Force to be eliminated.
ZARBON
Zarbon is one of Frieza's top two henchmen. Zarbon is a very handsome green-haired
fighter. He even catches the eye of Bulma despite the fact that he's a bad guy.
Zarbon cannot keep up the flawless appearance forever, he has to transform into a huge reptilian-like creature to beat Vegeta. Zarbon beats Vegeta once, but loses and dies at their second confrontation.
DODORIA
Dodoria and Zarbon are Frieza's top two henchmen. Dodoria is a fat, pink
spiky-headed alien. On Namek, he runs into Vegeta while chasing Gohan, and is killed by
him.
NAPPA
Nappa is Vegeta's sidekick who came to help destroy the Earth. He was also Vegeta's caretaker as a child, and is now very fearful of him. Nappa
brings the Saibamen to help fight the Z fighters, and does much of the early fighting
himself.
Nappa may have had more brawn than brain and tended to get overexcited and careless when fighting. Nappa did manage to eliminate Tien, Chiaotzu, and Piccolo before Goku arrived back on Earth. Goku stepped in just in time to save Gohan, and kill Nappa.
SAIBAIMEN
The Saibaimen were seeds brought by Nappa when he and Vegeta came to
conquer the Earth. When Nappa's seeds were planted, they grew
into these Saibaimen. Their sole purpose was to fight, and in fact Vegeta trained on his
home planet by fighting these brainless creatures. 
With a power level of 1200 each, the Saibaimen were worthy opponents for the Z fighters. Yamcha was killed by a Saibaimen, but most of the Saibaimen were killed by Krillin. Vegeta grew bored and killed the remaining Saibaimen.
RADITZ
Raditz is Goku's older brother. He came to
Earth to see whether Goku had completed his mission of conquering the planet. Angry and
intolerant, Raditz can't understand why it has taken his brother so long to destroy the
helpless humans. When Raditz learns Goku had lost his Saiyan "programming" as a
child and was now Earth's defender, he kidnaps Gohan with the threat of killing him if
Goku doesn't bring him dead humans.
Goku and Piccolo go after Raditz and successfully pin him once. But ruthless like all Saiyans, Raditz plays on Goku's emotions and lies to his confused brother to avoid being destroyed. The minute he is saved however, he instantly turns on Goku.
Raditz is killed when Goku sacrifices himself by holding Raditz from behind while Piccolo eliminates them both with a single blast. His last words reveal that two even more powerful Saiyans will be coming to Earth in one year in order to destroy it. And, unfortunately, his scouter (technologically advanced eyepiece which gives location and power rating of opponents as well as acting as a communicator) transmits information about the Dragon Balls to the Saiyans.
