Henry Cavill at a young age.
Appearance: Unlike many kids his age, Goku is not one that likes to stand out for how he looks or what he says, but rather by what he does, thus he is often seen wearing simple garments like sweatpants, a random shirt and tennis shoes. Most of the time, Goku is at the gym or out running. Never staying still for too long for he dislikes the idea of not being in perfect shape.
Standing at 5 feet 9 inches, and weighing 165 pounds Goku is not a very intimidating guy when he is seen by someone, nevertheless a fire within him compels him to fight, that is why he is always signing up for martial arts tournaments around town and training endlessly. So if you see him, chances are that he is going to, or back from the gym.
Personality: Overall Goku is a very kind person, he is friendly towards everyone he meets and tries to never give up on anyone that he has met, even if they have made a big mistake he always gives them a second chance. He believes that everyone can change and be a force of good in the universe. His ability to see goodness in everybody has caused him many problems in the past, but has also given him the best of experiences and friends that he could have ever hoped for. He does not judge people, and encourages happiness as long as it does not hurt others. He is a defender of the weak, and a champion of those who have been wronged. He is not the best in school, but he is not dumb either, he just lives by simple means and with simple rules.
Goku always attempts to tell the truth; he believes that transparency can make away with most of the problems of society and help make the world a better place, which is his hope for the world. A cheerful and energetic guy Goku will always help those who ask for it, even with simple tasks as lifting a box, or making an errand.

Right Up to that Key Moment
History:
Born in a far away planet named Vegeta, and under the name Kakarrot given by his parents, Goku was sent to planet Earth when he was but a baby. The idea was that the ship would nurture him until he was old enough to fend for himself and once he could do that he would destroy all of the living creatures of the planet and present the world to the Master of his raze. But when the ship entered the atmosphere of planet Earth the navigation systems overloaded and he crash landed.
An old man saw the crash and proceeded to the site where the ship went down. Upon arriving the old man found the baby sleeping inside of the ship, this old man was Son Gohan, a martial artist who had learned under the tutelage of Master Roshi, a great martial artist. Son Gohan took the baby as his own and named his Son Goku. At first the baby was a handful, he was full of rage and always trying to break things, it was the blood of his people wanting to fight that made him this way, but on one faithful day baby Goku fell off the basket that Son Gohan was carrying him on and hit his head at the bottom of the canyon. Son Gohan was amazed that the baby had survived the fall, and so he took him back home and nurtured him back to health. When Goku woke up he was not only docile but very happy.
Since that day Goku grew strong, when he was old enough Son Gohan thought him martial arts and how to control his strength, but even then Goku had strength that was inhuman, yet that was not the only amazing thing about the boy. He had a tail, and on one full moon night Son Gohan realized why he did. Upon looking at the full moon Goku transformed into a giant ape and began to lay waste to the mountain range where they lived. Son Gohan was able to subdue Goku that time, but next time he was not so lucky. Son Gohan died at the hands of the boy that he saved, and poor Goku had to live alone since then, not knowing that he had killed his granpa and mentor, for in his ape state he had no memory.
Years passed and so he met a girl by the name of Bulma, along side her Goku met many people and began a long adventure that led him to meet great warriors that would eventually be known as the Z warriors. Together they fought many battles against the forces of evil, conquering over the darkness of their world and beyond with a steady fist and the belief of justice. They defeated many rivals including Raditz who was Gokus’ blood brother, Nappa and Vegeta (the latter became his best friend many years later), Freezer the one responsible for his razes demise, the androids 17 and 18, Cell the monster created with the DNA of many fighters, and ultimately Buu, the demon creation that destroyed the planet Earth.
After the Earth was restored, the Z warriors could finally rest, the world was at peace and the greatest fighters of the universe were on the side of good, and it is here where our Gokus’ story begins.
Key Moment:
It has been twelve years since Buu was defeated, three years ago at the Martial Arts Tournament Goku and the rest of the Z warriors found themselves staring at a kid that had a power similar to Goku, this kid was the reincarnation of Buu and his name was Uub, in order to ensure that he was on the side of good, Goku took him as his apprentice and left with him to train him. Now it’s been three years and they are back on Central City where Bulma is throwing a party for all of her friends aka the Z warriors, they are all drinking and eating and talking when suddenly the skies begin to darken. The Z warriors have seen this effect many times and know that someone has collected the Dragon Balls and they are about to make a wish, a sense of dread befalls the heroes and so they take off to find the person who has collected the Dragon Balls. All flying in different directions the first one to find the culprit is Piccolo, he calls the others and when they arrive the see that the person responsible for the collection of the Dragon Balls is the little Price Pilaf, when Piccolo had arrived he had already made his wish but it was not evident until Gohan, the son of Goku, realizes that his father is not with them.
”What have you done with Goku?”, yells Piccolo to Pilaf as he picks him up by the collar of his robes.
Pilaf laughs manically as the sphere rise to the air and shoot in all directions.
”Let’s just say that his powers do not exist now HAHAHAHAHAHA….”
His laughter was cut short when he sees Goku not 50 yards away from all of them, looking exactly how he did when he was 17 years old. All of the Z warriors area astonish at seeing Goku as a teenager, and so is Goku, but he looks at them all and then at Pilaf and smiles.
”You are wrong to believe that my power is based on my size Pilaf, watch and learn.”
He widens his stance, makes his hands into little fists and with one loud kia blast the ground around him shifts and as dust begins to rise the air around him turns into a bright yellow as his black hair turns gold and his brown eyes turn green. Super Saiyan Goku stands there, letting the disappointment sink on Pilafs mind.
”Stupid Dragon, I said make him be ten, not a teen.”, Pilaf grunted as Piccolo threw him on the ground.
Gohan approached his dad and looked down at him, Goku was now shorter than his own son.
”Are you alright dad?”
”Yeah, it’s weird being this small again, but I feel just as…”
The world spun around Goku and then he lost consciousness. For the Z warriors Goku simply disappeared, they became frantic for they could not feel his presence anywhere, they questioned Pilaf but he didn’t know anything, they contacted Dende, the God of the Dragon Balls of Earth and he also had no idea what had happened, not even King Kai the God of the dead for their sector of the Universe knew where Goku was, their only option was to gather the Dragon Balls and hope that they could bring him back, but it would be a whole year before they could do that. Meanwhile….

A Roleplaying Shift
RP Sample:
He lost his balance and fell backwards on his back; the golden glow disappeared as he drifted into unconsciousness. He began to come back when he felt a vehicle pull up to where he was. Slowly he opened his eyes and began to get up but he was not well balanced. He felt like if he was missing something.
”Slowly sir, you don’t want to fall again.”
Looking up he was able to see four men in matching suits, they all smiled at him yet behind the smile that was a sense of nervousness. Tilting his head slightly he looked down at himself and felt that something was off, he couldn’t tell what it was but there surely was something. He stood up and found himself looking up at the suited man still, it appeared that he was shorter than them, they easily reached 6 foot 4 each, yet still there was that feeling of nervousness behind their smiles. Slightly uneasy he looked around and saw nothing that was familiar.
”Where am I?”
One of the men in the suit stepped forward and offered him his hand to shake,
”This here is a park, a reservation made possible by a lot of people who want to ensure that our planet survives our consumerism.”
”Planet survival is good… who are you?”
With a smile the man answered, ”We are here to help you, do you mind answering some questions?”
With an eyebrow raised and noticing that he had evaded the question he nodded slowly, ”Sure…”
”What is your name?”
”My name is… is… my name is… Ka… no… Go… Goku… yeah, it’s Goku, wow that was a harder question to answer than I expected”
Now it was time for Goku to laugh, he had forgotten his name, but as he laughed he realized that he really couldn’t remember anything, even his own name seemed alien to him.
”Good. Where are you from?”
Goku’s laughter stopped as he realized that he had no idea, ”I don’t know, I can’t remember anything before I woke up, I must have hit my head really hard when I fell. Do you know who I am?”
The man in charged shook his head, but one of the men looked over at the man in charge and then forward again putting up the fake smile again. There was something off, the guy in charge knew who he was but why where they not telling him?
”Mr. Goku we would like for you to come with us, once we have you situated someone will explain things to you.”
Dread ran down Goku’s back and so he took a step back, ”Perhaps I should figure things out myself, thank you, but I think I’ll be ok.”
The smile of the men disappeared, ”I’m afraid that is not possible Mr. Goku, you need to come with us for your own protection.”
”Protection from what?” He said this as his right foot slid back and his hands came up in a defensive position, his left hand at abdomen level and his right hand at shoulder level, his hands were open, ready to stop anything that came his way, and yet he felt something hit his chest and the next second a strong electrical current was running through his body. He screamed and tried to rip them off, it was then that another set of teeth got him on his right side, he yelled again and tried to reach them but another set of teeth hit his left side. It was becoming really hard to move, and his head was throbbing, he reached for those too when the fourth set of teeth hit him in the neck, he froze up and fell back unconscious.
”From yourself.”
The man in charge said. They all looked at each other and at Goku on the ground, ”Can you believe it? It took us four Tasers to bring him down!”
The man in charge got on his knee next to Goku and began to pull the Taser teeth off him,
”On the contrary, I’m glad it took just that.”
The loaded him into the van and took off towards Tenebrae.
