World Information: The world of Dragon Ball is a strange Earth-like realm. The world seems a measure more futuristic what was the Capsule Corp devices and the existence of Androids and the like, but it still feels like a normal Earth-like world... even if there are things like dinosaurs and humanoid animals roaming around. The more mystic, alien and strange aspects of the world are often kept hidden as of late, especially since the early days saw various invasions.

As well, the world is not only existing in a vast universe, but is part of a large multiverse.

Personal History: https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Goku

Personality: Despite his suspiciously Superman-like origins, Goku is NOT like the Man of Steel at all. Having spent most of his childhood living alone, travelling the world, training in martial arts and saving the world from evil threats, Goku’s incredibly naive and simple-minded in his thinking. He’s not afraid to say what’s on his mind, even if what it is is detrimental to himself, his friends, the world or even the entire multiverse. Because he prefers a good fight over doing something menial, Goku has a terribly bad habit of trying to slink off from his job or his entire family to go practice or train with someone somewhere, disappearing for hours, days or even months at a time to their frustration. He’s also not a good planner as Goku can come up with decent ideas from time to time, but they fall apart due to not thinking things through.

Despite all these downsides, Goku is actually a very kind-hearted person. Where his fellow full-blooded Saiyan Vegeta can be quite ruthless in battle and took him years to accept the fact that he has things to protect outside of that stubborn pride of his, Goku is the kind of guy who cherishes everyone he meets. Many of his friends started out as rivals or even flat out enemies who threatened, injured or even killed his friends in battle. Despite this, Goku doesn’t attack to kill. He will pummel you, humiliate you, overpower you and show you why what you did is wrong, but he will never try to kill you unless he has no other recourse. Of course, when his friends are threatened in a way to try to hurt Goku, that is a good way to get Goku pissed off - Frieza murdering his best friend Krillin and nearly killing Piccolo was what caused Goku to obtain the legendary Super Saiyan form, using it to dominate Frieza in battle.

Despite being the main character of the series, Goku doesn’t see himself as a hero at all, or at the very least, the “hero of justice” type that actively tries to stop all evil and do good. In his mind, if you’re going around actively bullying and harming people, then he’s going to stop you, but all he really wants is a good fight. This is probably seen best with the lead up to the Tournament of Power where the warrior Toppo declared Goku evil for putting the idea of a Tournament in the Zen’Os minds. Goku was quite fine with it, as it just meant that he got to fight more stronger opponents.

All in all, Goku is a very simple man with a big ol’ heart of gold.

Key themes: Adventure, fighting, family

Main Motivation: To be the strongest Goku he can be, surpassing all that comes across him.

Skills: Hoo, boy. Let's roll it down from the top.

* Martial Arts: Goku is a well-versed martial artist, not only self-taught, but trained by other martial artists: his grandfather, Gohan, the Turtle Hermit Master Roshi (of which Goku usually utilizes), the North King Kai and the angel Whis. This allows him to be a fierce combatant driven by his Saiyan blood.

* Saiyan physiology: Goku is a pureblood Saiyan. It's this that fuels his desire to fight and get stronger, surpassing all of his limits. This allows him to easily manipulate ki energy at will. Should Goku go through a vicious battle that brings him close to death, when he fully recovers, it gives him a massive power boost. The main weakness of Saiyans is that they need to have a full stomach or they'll be much weaker.

* Ki Manipulation: Thanks to his Saiyan physiology, Goku is able to manipulate ki in such a way to perform defensive and offensive attacks. He can use his ki for flight, detect other people through their ki and to fire energy bursts from either his hands or his feet and can even discharge it in such a way as to push his opponents away. Goku's main attack using this is known as the Kamehameha, a technique developed by Master Roshi over 50 years that Goku mastered in five minutes. The technique allows Goku to gather ki between his hands and unleash it as a destructive torrent of energy that can obliterate anything in its path (or at least anything weaker than the attack). He has been shown using abilities created by his friends and allies such as Tien's "Solar Flare", which amplifies the sun's brightness to blind opponents, and Krillin's "Destructo Disk", which allows him to throw a concentrated disk of ki that can cut through literally anything despite power levels.

* Kaio-Ken: A technique taught to Goku by the North King Kai. The Kaio-Ken allows the user to amplify their power and their senses by various multiples while sheathed in a burning red aura. Most users can only withstand up to the x2 level (which is double the power of the Kaio-Ken), Goku can push his to x20 with ease. With the power of Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, Goku can combine it and Kaio-Ken to increase his power even further.

* Spirit Bomb: Goku's ultimate Trump Card taught to him by the North King Kai. Goku can gather the energy of various life forces, from plants, to people, to inanimate objects and even stars themselves to create an energy ball powerful enough to destroy evil beings. Goku can pass the energy to other people as long as they are of good nature (not exactly pure-hearted as he did pass the energy to Krillin) and those same people can also reflect the Spirit Bomb should they miss.

* Super Saiyan: A once-legendary transformation, Goku taps into pure rage through his pure heart, transforming into a golden haired warrior whose power is even greater than the Kaio-Ken x20. In this form, Goku's more combative nature comes into the forefront, making techniques such as the Kaio-Ken and the Spirit Bomb useless to him. By further increasing his power and rage, Goku can tap into even stronger levels in the form of Super Saiyan 2 and 3, however, the higher and more powerful the form, the less time Goku can use it.

* Instant Transmission: A strange ability Goku learned from the Yardat race following his fight with Frieza. Goku pinpoints a person's exact ki location and, once locked on, he can shunt himself and anyone holding onto them to that location. Goku's shown to be able to travel across the galaxy having pinpointed Gohan's ki from Beerus' world.

* Super Saiyan God: Having absorbed "God ki", Goku can access this power to transform into a stronger form, matching his power with that with the Gods of his world (though certainly nowhere near their strength). A form stronger than a normal Super Saiyan, Goku's hair turns red as he's sheathed in a red aura and his features are more softer.

* Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan: Combining the power of the Super Saiyan God with that of the Super Saiyan, Goku's power leaps incredibly when he takes up this shining blue form also known as "Super Saiyan Blue". Due to his ki control being much greater than as a normal Super Saiyan, he can combine this with the Kaio-Ken for the devastating form known as the Super Saiyan Blue Kaio-Ken.

* Ultra Instinct: If Goku is pushed to his absolute limits, facing annihilation straight in the eye and still determined to fight despite the uselessness of it all, he can reach in and unlock a devastatingly powerful technique known as "Ultra Instinct", a technique that not even most gods have mastered. Under Ultra Instinct, Goku essentially fights on pure instinct, able to attack and defend against attacks without having needing to think of what to do. This technique shoots his power to even greater heights, but because of the conditions needed, Goku can be completely drained of power because of it.

Item: The Power Pole, a special mystical item and heirloom from his Grandpa Gohan, a staff that is capable to extending for miles, even reaching the Moon.

Sample: Goku stepped into the gym car, looking over the room before him. He didn't have much to do so, it was training time. It seemed like such a shame that the car didn't have anything stronger, even if Bulma and Trunks were around. Honestly, he had no idea why he was here. Saving worlds? That's not really his thing - they should have picked up Toppo or Jiren for that.

On the other hand, there could be someone strong out there to challenge him and if they want to cause trouble that way, he'll meet them head on, then!

For now, Goku would take the time to warm up, stretching out as he did, before looking down at his clothes.

"Geh, this is too cumbersome." he said, patting his hoodie before yanking it off and tossing it aside. "There we go! Alright, now, let's get some practice in!"

And throughout the train, the others can feel the cars rattle incessantly as the Saiyan got in his training...

Notes: If Goku needs to be nerfed at all, I am more than willing to do so!
