Layeeck

"Good morning to you too..."

- "Layeeck, on his son's grumpy morning hello"

Layeeck (ラエイック, pronounced lay-ick) is a character in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. He is featured in the first saga and is introduced in the chapter "Prologue". Layeeck is also a main character in the story Dragon Ball: The Great War.

Appearance
Layeeck is a Saiyan. He looks a lot like his son, Ledas. Their hair is exactly the same. He is average height, about 5'10", and average weight. Being one of the most elite Saiyans, Layeeck has somewhat exaggerated muscles. His eye color is black, but as the Prince Vegeta Saga progresses, they get more and more bloodshot. Unlike the two Vegetas, Layeeck and his son do not wear jumpsuits under their armor, rather they wear a simple shirt, and short pants. Layeeck doesn't wear any gloves, either. His armor is black on red, and he only wears the chest piece.

Personality
Layeeck's personality is typical of most Saiyans. He enjoys fighting and destruction, and is eager to pass this onto his son. He is also not a very good father; as on one instance he does not even hesitate to brutally cut off his son's tail.

Even with Layeeck's high power level (among his fellow Saiyans), he is still quickly outclassed by his four year old son. His pride suffers greatly after this, with paranoia and anxiety taking over his life.

History
Layeeck was a Saiyan born into the super elite in the 699 age. He was the father of Ledas and vigorously trained his son, up until his death at the hands of Frieza, during the 737 age. Layeeck's power level is 3400, among the highest in the entire Saiyan Army. This gave him a lofty position as a friend and advisor to King Vegeta. It was Layeeck's influence that convinced King Vegeta to have their sons train together.

Despite knowing what will happen, Layeeck accompanied King Vegeta to Frieza's ship, to confront and kill the tyrant. He died, in a last noble act, trying to restore honor to himself and his son.

Trivia
