I was just watching the first episode of Dragon Ball last night and wanted to be a part of something like it but is it possible to play a really small role in this for someone who is a newbie to the DBZ universe?

How did you even avoid DBZ for all this time?

Dragon ball Kai is a good place to start. Then DBZ abridged for supplemental knowledge and laughs. Then Dragon Ball Super to catch up with everyone else, although you can skip the first 20ish episodes of super if you watch the movies Battle of Gods and Resurrection F.

Hmmm that is fair. We could scale it back to the point where it is just namek and they never even encountered a SSJS ^^

Why Namek? Why not set it sometime between the destruction of Vegeta (if you wanna avoid Saiyans, which I get) and the start of the saiyan saga? That's a good almost 20 years with no saiyans to speak off where Frieza's empire was at it's height.

Exploring subjects like his rivalry with Cold and Cooler, too. Fight Cooler's cronies for territory, etc.

I've been wanting to play a DBZ character who's of Bojack's race (a Hera) who has different 'transformations' if you want to call them that. These transformations give him varying degrees of different specialties but not like a super saiyan. For example one form he forces all of his allotted power into Ki drastically increasing his ki abilities. But makes his physical strength and speed suffer as a result. In exchange his ki blasts are monstrous. Another version that's the opposite where he goes full on power horse but lacks the ability to channel ki into bigger blasts. I can turn him down to a lower power level for a roleplay like this and start him at base form.

So basically he has a stat allocation of 30 and just shifts those points around. So its an actual transformation and not a powerup.

I know I've gotta get a Majin balanced for all this but I think the best way would be to make them get tired fast if they gotta keep regenerating. Something that makes it like the games.

I suppose so but he also has the typical 'full power' form that just boosts his stats all up at once just not as effective in some cases as it would be if he just went full in on one section. I like to think the idea is unique in it's own way. No one likes Bojack and saiyans, and freiza's race just seem to go full on power boosts.
