Saiyan Scout OCC

(Version 1.00 - Last Modified: 03/24/2002)

Using an advanced technique to train infants before they are born and while they are still babies, Saiyans can create Saiyan Scouts and send them to other planets. During the trip the babies will be given all the knowledge and abilities it needs to complete its mission. Saiyan Scouts are used to prepare planets for sale if the population does not present a significant threat. Scouts are also used to explore for new planets in areas far from other Saiyans.

A Saiyan Scout is not as strong a fighter as the Saiyan Warrior is, but he is still more than capable of defeating most enemies. Scouts are usually required to operate alone without any support from other Saiyans since their missions tend to place them on unexplored planets. The Warriors, who consider Scouts to be inferior and weaker, look down at them and are constantly trying to pick fights with them, but on average, Scouts are more intelligent and more cunning than the Warriors. Unfortunately, in the culture that the Saiyans live in, strength is the only thing that really matters.

Raditz and Kakarott (Goku) are both examples of Saiyan Scouts. They were both trained as babies and then sent off into space. With Kakarott, he was injured while still very young and lost all of his programming as a Saiyan Scout. He was then trained on Earth as a Dedicated Martial Artist from the Ninjas and Superspies Book and was trained in the Art of Ki Manipulation.

Standard Equipment:

• All Saiyan Scouts are given one suit of Saiyan Armor, which is replaced if damaged. The scouts are assigned two Saiyan Scouters and one Single-Person Space Pod, which they can use whenever they wish, as long as it does not interfere with their missions. Also, scouts can have one ancient or one modern weapon, including the special Forearm Blasters, but few Saiyans will choose any weapon, preferring to use their personal combat skills instead of weapons.

Money:

• Saiyans start with the equivalent of 3D6x1000 universal credits. Their money is usually spent on alcohol and women as the Saiyans relax between missions.

Cybernetics:

• None to start with, they interfere with their martial art abilities and most Saiyans consider it a weakness. Cybernetic, bionic, and bio-systems implanted in a Saiyan prevents them from transforming into either a Super Saiyan or an Oozaru until the implant is removed.
