Introduction
The Saiyans are a prosperous race of humanoids operating in a semi-militaristic medieval style social hierarchy with a ruling family and several subordinate social castes. The social hierarchy is as follows:
1) Royal Family (The King and Queen are the strongest Saiyans alive. The King's power level is 100,000, and the Queen's is 92,000)
2) Executive Offices (Royal Vizier, Archduke, Duke, etc) (Average power levels in this caste are between 60-80,000)
3) Higher Nobility (Average powers are between 40-70,000)
4) Lower Nobility (Average powers are between 30-55,000)
5) Commonwealth (Average Power Level is 20,000)
Within the Saiyan Race exists an ancient legend of a being known as the Super Saiyan.
Eons ago, there were numerous Super Saiyan beings. But there was one which stood above the rest and was recognized as the "True" Super Saiyan (Super Saiyan 3). This being's power was so great that following a great war during which it appeared, it suddenly disappeared (perished from the over exertion of power). Over time, numerous Saiyans tried to achieve this legendary form. But none succeeded. Throughout the ages, even the other Super Saiyans seemingly vanished into the obscurity of history. And today, it remains nothing more than an old wive's tale.
Modern Saiyan society boasts an advanced level of technology far beyond other humanoid races. This is in part due to their trade with other races, established thanks to their interstellar space travel operations which began over six hundred years ago. The Scouter you're familiar with does more than read power levels and communicate, it can project a life sized solid 3D hologram of whoever you're talking to as if they're right there. It can record what the user is seeing and send the data to cyberspace where it's transferred to a centralized data bank and filtered through to the Saiyan's respective group or the authorities. It can also record and handle financial transactions via infrared connection to the recipient's devices. For travel, most Saiyans prefer to fly. But there are shuttle boards (hovering skateboards without wheels) which can automatically carry you to your destination.
Saiyan interstellar vehicles are capable of traveling at half the speed of light (0.5c) at maximum speed and utilize wormhole technology for longer distance travel across galaxies. Thanks to this, Saiyans have opened trade and communications with hundreds of other races throughout the nearest four galaxies to their own. On the Saiyan home world, known as Valkyom, the Saiyan lifestyle is not terribly dissimilar to Earth's. There are small businesses, education facilities, medical centers, entertainment centers and venues, music, dance, art, law enforcement, emergency response units (fire fighters, EMT's, etc), and more. And, as said before, the Saiyan race is thriving and prosperous.
The world of Valkyom itself is lush and vibrant, sporting vast forests, massive oceans, and sprawling metropoli. It's not the dysmal, dry, empty planet from the original lore.
And so, we come to the plot of the RP (story is not the same thing so it's not listed here as it's something we'll create as the RP moves forward ;D).
The basic plot is this: The Saiyans have become complacent in their luxurious way of life by comparison to other races, and as such they've upset a certain order in the galaxy. One which now views them as a threat, and seeks to eliminate them. Over time, this enemy will be revealed. And as it's revealed, the foes we face will get stronger and stronger.
As Vision said in the MCU: Conflict invites catastrophe.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 2 authors
Valkyom City
CLANG!!
A buxom brunette beauty with a pair of small half-frame glasses went sprawling to the floor spilling a tray of scientific instruments and an apple. "Oof!" She bounced on the floor with arms outstretched in front of her, and her glasses hopped off her nose and sprung off the floor before skidding to a halt a short distance away. The bag around her waist landed on her lumbar, almost as if sitting on her to proclaim its triumph over her.
"Oooowww."
Pushing herself up onto her hands and knees, she rubbed her chest, which reddened many of the faces of her male colleagues in the halls around her, and started gathering her instruments as some shook their heads and chuckled.
"Another day, eh Nomiya?"
"Sorry, what? I'm busy! New discovery in the woods just outside of town! Can't stop to talk!" She said, hastily gathering everything up, as well as her apple which she bit into so her mouth became an extra hand, and jogged off trying to balance and fumble everything on her way before she managed to reach the door and take flight which stabilized the tray.
"Whoo! Finally! Something to do!!" She cried happily.
Suddenly, she slowed down and felt her face. Her cheeks flushed as she made a worried face.
"Dammit! My glasses!"
She turned around and saw one of her colleagues had already caught up to her, holding the glasses out.
"Figured you might need these back?"
Nomiya put her glasses back on.
"Oh, Liam! Thanks!"
"No problem, Nomiya. You always-"
Nomiya turned and flew away, eager to reach her destination and begin her studies.
"Yup. Same old Nomiya." He chuckled before flying back to the facility.
Reaching her destination at a river flowing parallel to the city about ten miles away, she landed in the grass and found a flat boulder to hold her tray while she bit the apple almost by 1/3 in a single bite, munching happily away as she reached into the bag around her waist and put on her blue Scouter.
"Oooookay! Leich, are you there? It's Nomiya! Pick up!"
"Nomiya? What the hell are you doing contacting me so soon?"
"I couldn't wait! I'm at the location, so tell me what I'm looking for!"
"Good lord Nomiya. I told you this wasn't supposed to happen for three-"
"Taking too long! Boring! Lemme have it!"
"... Ugh. Fine. Fine. You're looking for this. It's the apex predator of the river system. And thanks to its metabolism it only needs to eat once every few weeks. So your job is to-"
"Find it! Study it! Got it!"
"Nnnnnno. Your job is to-"
"Gotta go! I'm getting a bio-scan reading! See you Leich!"
"Wait, Nomiya! That's not-"
Click.
Nomiya cracked her knuckles, grabbed a small device meant to tranquilize the creature, and floated into the air and hovered over the river waiting for the creature to appear.
"All right. Coooooome to momma, big fella." She whispered, eyes sparkling with excitement.
Orion woke late with a big yawn. A familiar honking made his eyes widen; he looked at the time projected on the screen in his room. He had woken up fifteen minutes after his alarm started going off, which wasn't terrible, but he liked having a full hour to get ready before leaving for work. Grumbling to himself, Orion pushed himself at bed, still groggy from waking up. Maybe it wasn't a great decision to stay up playing Galactic Statecraft for the third night in a row, but Orion knew he'd find a way through the day on five hours of sleep.
The young Saiyan dragged himself through the shower, of which he spent a little too long in. When he got out, looking at the clock he realized he only had fifteen minutes to get dressed and eat. After putting his pants and boots on, he walked out of his bedroom and on to the kitchen, where his mother was watching the news in the adjacent living room.
"You just got down? I thought you might have left early again," Orion's mother, Negita, asked him.
"Yeah I didn't realize how long I spent in the shower this morning," Orion said, careful not to out himself. Negita got up from the couch she was sitting at, coming over to the island where Orion was making a sandwich, spreading a paste over some bread. The paste was red, and some might recognize it as a nutritional paste that helped ease the strong feelings of hunger typical of Saiyans while delivering concentrated amounts of essential nutrients.
"Your father wanted to talk to you this morning but he had to leave before you got up," Negita told her son.
"Great," Orion replied shortly, with mock enthusiasm.
"He insisted you take transit to work this morning, not fly," Orion's mother started. Orion sighed heavily, not liking the intrusion on his preference for flying.
"Why?"
"He wouldn't say. He just insisted that I make sure you did."
In true Saiyan fashion, Orion fit the whole sandwich in his mouth and looked at his mother for the five seconds it took for him to chew and swallow his food in silence.
"That sounds dumb," Orion conclusively states, turning to take a bag out of the fridge - his lunch he made the night before.
"I'm serious Orion; he doesn't ask you to do much anymore since you've been working at Saiya, it's probably important."
"He thinks everything he says and does is important to everyone all of the time. I don't care," Orion refuted indignantly. "I have to go now, as much as I'd like to stay and talk."
Negita just looked at her son defeated. "Fine, see you when you get home."
Orion exited the front door, looking down the steps to the garden of his home before the street of metallic panel. for a second, he reconsidered flying, but shrugged off his father's demands and powered up to take off. Darting into the sky with his lunchbox in hand, he was on his way to work.
While flying, the young Saiyan closed his eyes. A minute passed, and he could start to feel his flight path dip towards the ground on its own; he was nearly falling asleep.
"Geez, that's bad," Orion spoke to himself. Rubbing his eyes and opening them, he took in his surroundings. The river outside of the city would be a good place to stop for some refreshment. He lowered himself from the sky straight onto the riverbank, dropping to one knee and splashing his face with the cool water.

Floating above the river, Nomiya thought she had a bead on the creature she had been tracking. The bio-scan seemed the right size, but when she got closer and managed to sneak a peak it was a sub-species of the one she was after. It leaped from the water to snatch her into its jaws, but she was able to fly upwards and avoid the bite.
"Not today biggie! I've got even bigger fish to find!"
The creature splashed back into the water and Nomiya flew down to grab her things before flying further up river. And before long, her Scouter detected a new Plasma Density signature up ahead. As she got closer, she was disappointed to see it was another Saiyan. But then again, he was by the river's edge. And that meant...
Beep.
"Ooohh."
The Scouter was detecting a bio-scan, larger than before, approaching the Saiyan.
"Heeeee. There you are." She whispered.
She flew down and set her tray down, and then flew over to the Saiyan.
"Hi there! You're about to become lunch!" She called out.
The water exploded, and a mouth of nearly half a dozen tentacles launched forward towards the Saiyan on the river with the intent of wrapping him up and turning him into dinner.
"Ah, ah, aaahhh!!" She yelled as she slammed a kick into the side of the beast to throw it onto its side on shore.
The beast landed hard on its side, kicking and scratching at the air as it fought to right itself.
Meanwhile, Nomiya landed next to the Saiyan.
"Hi there! I'm Nomiya, and I got this! This big beauty is my new research subject!"
The creature got to its feet and unleashed a loud hiss in their direction.
"Oop! Gotta go!"
She jumped and flew towards the creature, dodging a lunge which the creature continued as it opened all tentacles and its beak-like maw with the intent of grabbing the other Saiyan.
"Oops! You might wanna move!" She cried, flying back to try and help out.

Orion looked up as someone was surely calling him. A woman from above, warning him about his impending doom.
"What are you on-" and then water shot from the river in all directions in a chaotic eruption.
Orion jumped back, watching a mess of squishy appendages flail at him. Jumping back again, several shot forward trying to grab him. It was easy to step out of the way of a few, but one grabbed his wrist as he was to slow to react. But the Saiyan from above kicked it to its side on the riverbank.
"Uh, what do you mean, research project?" But the distracted woman pushed on to fight the beast. Orion watched her go forward, letting the beast charge at him again. This time, Orion was more prepared. As the tentacles unfolded to go forward again, Orion lifted his hand and braced his elbow with his off-hand, summoning his energy as quickly as he could. A beam of energy shot from his hand, hitting the beast at the center of its tentacles. The creature flew backwards towards the strange "researcher." With this window of opportunity, Orion flew up into the air, now hovering above the river.
"What a way to start my day," Orion grumbled loudly.

Nomiya had come back to help, but the Saiyan shot a beam at it and sent it flying back towards her.
"... Oops."
BAM!!
The creature slammed into Nomiya as it flew backwards, falling on top of her causing a lot of discomfort as it rolled over.
Muffled beneath the beast... "I'm fowwy my wovewy!" BAM! An explosion of energy beneath it sent the creature skyward, and Nomiya quickly rolled onto her side and flew off to the side. The creature, screaming in pain, began falling. Thinking quickly, Nomiya blasted the ground beneath it which caused it to fly up a few feet and then fall back to the ground, padding its fall and sparing it a potentially crippling impact. The creature landed hard and groaned, its movements sluggish. A sign of being dazed.
Nomiya grabbed her little device and shot it twice with tranquilizer darts, and within moments, the beast went still, breathing evenly.
"Phew! There we go! Sleeping like a baby!"
Nomiya flew to her bag just a little ways down the shore, flying right by the other Saiyan with a quick "Thanks for the help!" as she flew by. Reaching her bag, she put the tiny tranq gun away and grabbed her tray, flying slowly over towards the creature again.

"You're-..." Orion started, about to reply to the woman's thanks, but she simply rushed on by. "Welcome..."
Orion looked down at the fallen beast, watching the display of the other Saiyan's skill. The researcher's undeterred excitement brought concern to Orion. As she finally injected the creature with whatever it was, Orion decided to land beside her to ask her of something.
"Um... are there a lot of those things in this river?" he asked a little bit shyly. "And what are you researching about it?"
The young Saiyan stepped toward the beast, going to lift its tentacles to examine it, looking at its teeth, then at his arm where the creature grabbed him. His forearm was marked with its teeth, but no skin broke.

Nomiya was deep into her examination already by the time the other Saiyan came up to ask her about it.
"Hmm? More? Nah. Too big to gather without conflict in a river this small. As for what I'm researching..."
She suddenly spun and was face to face with him, almost nose to nose, eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
"Are you interested in studying it too?!" She cried.
Suddenly, she handed him a note pad she'd been carrying. "Hold that, please."
She immediately went to her bag and brought out a small hand-held device which she rushed over to the beast and pressed it to its stomach. Her Scouter began reacting, displaying an image of the inside of the creature.
"Ooohh... I wonder what those glands do!" She said to herself.
"Come over here! Look at this!" She said, continuing to look at the creature while beckoning the Saiyan with her other hand.

"No no, I cant-" Orion started to refuse before having a notepad forced unto him. He watched as she buzzed around, carrying on as if nothing else was happening. "Miss, I-" Orion tried to interrupt, but she was too focused on seeing the anatomy of the creature with her own trinkets. Finally she invited him over to see.
"Miss, I'm sorry," Orion began again, trying to be respectful. "I have to go, I'm going to be late for work over this. Your hands seem full so I'll leave your notepad with your bag."
The young Saiyan turned away, going towards the researcher's bag and putting her notebook on top. Now thoroughly jaunted awake by this encounter with the woman and the beast, Orion began to power up to leave the riverbed and head off. In just a moment, he darted back into the sky, disregarding the woman and her "research" as it seemed a peculiar, unlikely event to have to deal with her or a creature like that again.

Nomiya was deep into scanning the internal organ structure of the beast as the other Saiyan tried to speak to her. But as absorbed in her discoveries as she was, as well as her growing excitement, she didn't process what he said as a rejection of her request for his help.
"Okay. Come closer. I need you to hold this ultrasound device steady for me.............. Hello?"
Nomiya looked back and saw he was gone, flying away towards the city.
"What the-... H-hey! You can't just-... What about this beautiful creature and everything waiting to be discovered about it!?!" She yelled.
Nomiya puffed out her cheeks in disapproval before turning back towards her specimen.
"Fine. It's fine! I can do this myself!" She affirmed as she continued to focus on scanning and documenting the creature's data.
Meanwhile, back at Nomiya's workplace, the Universal Sciences Institute, Nomiya's colleagues were hard at work as she sent the data and information to document the creature and get to work producing warning messages for the inhabitants to stay away from the rivers.

Soaring through the sky, Orion proceeded on his way to his work. Now jaunted awake by the encounter with the river beast, he felt alert as ever. Eventually, he arrived at the city next to him, where towers rose above many buildings like in the capitol, but some of the monstrous structures of commerce, business, and governing known to Valkyom City didn't make themselves known here. Orion proceeded to just outside of downtown, landing himself just outside an office building with a sign over the entrance, "Saiya Structuring."
The young Saiyan walked in and took the stairs up to the second floor of the three story office building. "Mornin'," a male Saiyan greeted, facing a projected hologram building from the work table. The second floor was an open office plan with two rows of desks facing each other and two large rectangular tables where blueprints projected by holograms.
"Just made it," Orion says with a sigh of relief. The office had yet to fill in, as during Orion's study and work here, he usually came in about an hour earlier than the rest of the work force to get things ready and understand more about the field he was in.
"Something wrong?" the other asked Orion, turning from the hologram to face the general's son.
"Well, there was some kind of monster that just burst out of the river between here and Valkyom City when I went to go splash some water on my face to wake myself up," Orion answered, joining his colleague by standing across on the other side of the table.
"Sounds like some real trouble."
"Well, some 'researcher' was looking for it and was there just in time to capture it before I blew it up."
"Hm," the other Saiyan let out. "Well we finally got reports back in from that quake you can take a look at from Gus and Lyel. It's all on the other table, tell me what you see from it."
"Alright." Orion pushed a button on the other table, waiting for the projector to come on. It showed a damaged skyscraper and projected damage and earthquake reports, and now it was Orion's job to run simulations to determine problems with the structure and see what went wrong where, and what support the building didn't have, but also why the building didn't have the necessary support when it was supposed to.
"This is gonna take more than an hour, Mek," he said, as if warning his colleague.
"Then take all day," Mek replied shortly. Orion sighed, knowing this would be a complicated issue that would be hard to piece all of the information together for one person. But in a way, he enjoyed the challenge; it's why he was here.
The young Saiyan walked in and took the stairs up to the second floor of the three story office building. "Mornin'," a male Saiyan greeted, facing a projected hologram building from the work table. The second floor was an open office plan with two rows of desks facing each other and two large rectangular tables where blueprints projected by holograms.
"Just made it," Orion says with a sigh of relief. The office had yet to fill in, as during Orion's study and work here, he usually came in about an hour earlier than the rest of the work force to get things ready and understand more about the field he was in.
"Something wrong?" the other asked Orion, turning from the hologram to face the general's son.
"Well, there was some kind of monster that just burst out of the river between here and Valkyom City when I went to go splash some water on my face to wake myself up," Orion answered, joining his colleague by standing across on the other side of the table.
"Sounds like some real trouble."
"Well, some 'researcher' was looking for it and was there just in time to capture it before I blew it up."
"Hm," the other Saiyan let out. "Well we finally got reports back in from that quake you can take a look at from Gus and Lyel. It's all on the other table, tell me what you see from it."
"Alright." Orion pushed a button on the other table, waiting for the projector to come on. It showed a damaged skyscraper and projected damage and earthquake reports, and now it was Orion's job to run simulations to determine problems with the structure and see what went wrong where, and what support the building didn't have, but also why the building didn't have the necessary support when it was supposed to.

Nomiya was lost in her studies. Every time she made a new discovery she'd jot it down in her notes and upload it to the Universal Sciences Institute's database. Check the creature. Note and update the database. Check the creature. Note and update the database. Rinse and repeat.
Nomiya stayed with the creature for almost four hours before finally reaching a conclusion about her analysis and the information she was able to glean from it before kicking it back, carefully, into the water.
"That's that! Time to get back!" She exclaimed happily.
With that, she gathered her belongings and took off like a rocket back to the Institute.
Dashing through the front doors, she bumped into another colleague named Rokar, whom she quickly bounced off of due to his massive and immovable stature. With her bum hitting the floor and her stuff flying everywhere, a few chuckles and shakes of the head found their way throughout the room.
"Oow!"
"Oh. Sorry Nomiya." Rokar said, helping her to her feet.
"Thanks. Can't stop to chat! Gotta go see Leich about the data I sent! Bye!"
And with that, Nomiya dashed off down the halls to find her superior who, in his office, skimmed through her data as the door was flung open and Nomiya came skidding to a halt in front of his desk, dropping her things onto it so she could use her hands freely.
"So what do you think!?" She asked giddily, eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"It tells us what we need to know. Thank you, Nomiya."
"Wait, that's it?! That's your reaction?!"
"Nomiya, I'm grateful for the data. But otherwise this doesn't concern me so much as it does the company and our ability to keep our people safe through our discoveries and data logging."
"You mean my discoveries, right?! I'm the one who does all the leg work and I don't even get a mention in those fancy announcements of yours that go out to everyone once the data's been compiled and distributed. Come on Leich! You've gotta have some investment in this! Or what am I running around for if not just to indulge and satisfy my own curiosity?! I know I can be excitable, but this is still my career and passion here!"
"Nomiya, enough. I can understand and empathize with you, but this was a task that I delegated to you. Nothing more. You got it done, and that's good enough for me. Now, if you please. I have a meeting to attend."
Nomiya was shooed out of his office in a huff, her cheeks puffing out as she pouted all the way out to the lobby to sit down and mope about his lack of care for her work.
"Ugh, that guy... He's really lost his thirst for knowledge and any sense of thrill in seeking it." She groaned.
"Aw, c'mon Nomiya. Leich is a big wig. It's his job to be calm and professional no matter how much he may be excited or happy that you did your job. Now c'mon. We're going out drinking. Care to come with?" Asked a colleague.
"Nah. I think I'm gonna skip drinking tonight and just have a fly through the city. You guys have fun."
"If ya say so. Take care!"
With that, the Saiyan departed. Nomiya left the building once her shift was over and began a slow fly around the city, taking in the sights and admiring the view despite the rapidly fading sun on the horizon.
"Hhh......... Nice evening for discovery." She said calmly, scanning the city for any kind of patterns or events which she might glean something from.
