Dark Saiyan (Zachwelch1996)

Dark Saiyans for the most part only exist in Saiyan mythology, a tale that Saiyan mothers would tell their children at bedtime. However these legendary warriors very much exist although they are very few in number.​

Overvie​w
Dark Saiyans are from the planet known as Dark Vegeta, a small dark planet at the edge of the universe. A Dark Saiyan is a very rare abnormality. No one is sure what the cause of this abnormality is but there are several theories. One is that it happens when a child is born during the crescent moon. Another is that Dark Saiyans are the product of of a full blooded Saiyan warrior procreating with a half breed. Another theroy suggests that a Dark Saiyan is born to a family who has noble lineage. Whatever the reason there remains one startling common factor with Dark Saiyans. They are born with unuasually high power levels with 10,000 being seen as the power level of a low level dispensable warrior. Dark Saiyans tend to be more introverted and silent than their counterparts.

A few differences between Dark Saiyans and their counterparts is that a Dark Saiyan is not mtoivated by power and glory when they battle but see combat as the reason they were born. They place very little value on their own lives and see dying in battle as the most honorable death possible. They are more honorable tham their counterparts, never being the one to initate the first strike in  one on one combat. That being said they are conquers by design and do not tolerate weakness. If faced with an inferior opponent they will not kill them but be sure to punish their opponents by beating them within an inch of their lives. They will not kill an opponent unless they see them as a worthy opponent. Their existence is a secret known only Saiyan kings.

Histor​y
Not many records remain on the Dark Saiyans but it is for certain that the first Dark Saiyan was a female Saiyan warrior known as Vocado. Started by the child's high power level the Saiyan king ordered the child sent away to a dark planet at the edge of the galaxy. Over time more and more Dark Saiyan babies were born and were sent away to the same planet that had been come to known as Dark Vegeta after Vocados conquered it. At first the planet was home to non stop anarchy. Finally a Dark Saiyan who was said to pocess the power of a god pacified the land and was named the first king of Dark Vegeta. It is said after his death he become a god. The Dark Saiyan's name was Lemogra. As time passed the Dark Saiyans built a culture and eventually started to attack other planets. However it was not for Frieza as the tyrant was unaware that the Dark Saiyans existed but for themselves. They managed to form an empire that encompassed several solar systems until half of the galaxy was theirs. This empire came to be known as the Total Eclipse Empire. Sadly the empire fell when Dark Vegeta was devoured by an ancient dragon known as Levithan. The only survivors were on other planets.

Appearanc​e
The Dark Saiyan looks a lot like a regular Saiyan exceot for a few things. A sure way to tell if someone is a Dark Saiyan is their eyes. Along with the typical black Saiyan air a Dark Saiyan has red eyes. They also keep their tails all their lives for it is impossible for them to be permantly without a tail. Their tails grow back much like a lizard's does. Their Oozaru form looks very different than the typical Oozaru. A Dark Saiyan Oozaru is pure white although a black underside is not uncommon. They are smaller than the typical Oozaru and are more fast and nimble. Dark Saiyans do not transform at the full moon but the crescent moon.

Cultur​e
Dark Saiyan cukture revolved around warfare. Dark Saiyan children were taken from their mothers as young as five years old and sent away to train to be Dark Saiyan warriors. Dark Saiyan parents were withdrawn as they knew that the only reason they had children was to benefit the kingdom. Dark Saiyan warriors placed no vaule on their own personal lives as they had been taught that no matter how strong one Dark Saiyan was they were still nothing compared to the kingdom. Dark Saiyan warrior training lasted four years and when the Saiyan children were at age nine they would go out on their first war party. Only two types of people were allowed to have funerals in Dark Vegeta. Either a warrior who had died in battle or a mother who had died in childbirth. Before a Dark Saiyan's first battle they were told by their parents "Victory or Exile." " Basically you either won the battle or you were dishonored.

Dark Saiyans also lived by a strict warrior code that everyone was required to live by. The monarchy on Dark Vegeta was different than most. Instead of the king's child taking over following the death of the king, the prince was hand chosen by the king.
