Majin Buu is dead.
A threat thousands of years old, known of across worlds innumerable has been vanquished on a planet many have never heard of. Stories and recollections of foes defeated on the very same world snake their way across the galaxies, a collective hushed whispers of creatures and villains who met their fate at the hands of the Earthlings. People of all races huddle in their homes as a vast empire collapses in on itself and think to themselves “Lord Frieza conquered almost all of the universe, but he couldn’t conquer earth.”
Rumors abound of beings powerful beyond comprehension, a creature called Cell and the Legendary Super Saiyan, both of whom were extinguished upon Terran soil. If villains such as these could be defeated by the likes of the Earthlings, it seemed unlikely that there was any safer place in the cosmos. The universe turns curious eyes on a lonely blue pebble in the Sol system. Some seek a new start. Some seek opportunity. Some seek to train with the Earthlings, to attain powers untold. Many simply wish to live in peace away from the war torn empire Frieza left in his wake.
Beings from across the stars travel to earth in droves. Refugees of ruined worlds, people looking for a safe place for their family, soldiers who have deserted the cause of whichever warlord they lined up behind after the power vacuum left by Frieza’s death created so many new conflicts.
The earth has changed. Species from all over have planted themselves here. They have become a constant of life, perhaps a nuisance in some eyes. The Saiyan gene has dwindled and diluted, but it will never die. The Saiyans are near equal in number to the humans, and they too have integrated themselves into Terran society, some would say for the better. Others would disagree.
Two schools of thought rise among the Saiyan inhabitants of earth. Though friends in their later lives, Son Goku and Prince Vegeta have left two very different legacies behind. Those who follow the teachings of Son Goku preach peace and tolerance, training constantly in the event that someone might threaten those values. The current guardian of earth subscribes to this way of thinking.
Those who follow their revered prince, however, are not quite as docile. They call themselves the True Sons, though it is doubtful that any descendant of Vegeta still lives. They live in separate, almost tribal groups, paying tribute to one king. It is the will of the True Sons to return the Saiyan race to its former glory, as the most powerful species in the universe. While the guardian keeps one sharp eye on the True Sons, the self-proclaimed king of Saiyans gathers support, uniting the tribes that would see a true Saiyan world and destroying those that would refuse to stand behind him. He has but one goal; to obtain the Dragon Balls and make his dream a reality.
Tensions run high on both sides, but neither sees the threats looming just beyond their solar system. From the ashes of Frieza’s empire rises a new warlord who sees earth as no more than another world to be added to his collection. He knows the dangers posed by the earthlings, but he is ready to deal with them. Hidden just out of sight of the earthlings, his invasion fleet waits to strike.
Still, greater mysteries exist in the universe. Namekians are disappearing by the thousands. Entire worlds are finding that their Namekian populations are dwindling, some vanishing all together. It is a quiet, unvoiced fear that permeates the galaxies. Many wonder where the Namekians are going, but few are brave enough to investigate. Fewer still realize what dangers lay on the horizon.
For nearly a thousand years, earth has been a hub of the universe, a melting pot, the safest of havens. In less than a year, earth’s status as a gem in the sand will disappear.

So, as you can see, this is an RP that takes place several generations after the events of Dragon Ball Z. I'd like the story to mainly focus on the conflict between the Disciples of Son Goku and the True Son, but I'm open to ideas for other plots. It's always been an interesting idea to me to see how everything that takes place in the show would shape the earth many years into the future, so I think it would be pretty cool to do an RP about it. Any takers?
