Name: Goku
Race: Saiyan

The main character of DragonBall, and a substantial role in DBZ, Goku is sent to Earth as an infant so he can prepare it to be sold. He could have easily eliminated all life on the planet, but he fell into a ravine and hit his head when he was young. He afterwards fights for the side of good, as the brainwashing had been undone. He is not too intelligent, but is a natural when it comes to the martial arts, and manipulating his Ki. Goku by far has the most abilities of any of the Z warriors, with the only villain having more being Cell. He marries Chi-Chi, daughter of Ox king; and together they have two sons, Gohan and Goten.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Gohan
Race: 1/2 Saiyan; 1/2 Human

Son of Goku, he is initially trained by Piccolo after the battle with Radditz. He looks up to Piccolo for being such a great fighter, and trys to immitate him by wearing similar clothes. He has the potential to become the most powerful being in the universe, yet since he cannot always fully utilize his strength, he can be defeated. Gohan is the first Saiyan to go SS2, but after the Cell saga he spends little time training and focuses on his studies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Goten
Race: 1/2 Saiyan; 1/2 Human

Goten is the second son of Goku and Chi-Chi. He and Trunks spend most of their time together, and are very good friends. Goten exhibited high power when he went Super Saiyan at the age of seven. He bears a very strong resemblance of Goku; and wears a miniture version of Goku's karate Gi. Goten is usually happy, but has a habit for throwing tantrums to get something he wants.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Vegeta
Race: Saiyan

Born on the planet bearing his own name, Vegeta has the bloodline to become a super-elite Saiyan. A henchman of Frieza, he is regarded as one of the greatest fighters in the universe. Along with Goku, Radditz, and Nappa, Vegeta is one of the only Saiyans to survive the destruction of their homeworld. He is extremely jealous of Goku's superior fighting ability, and actually helps him from time to time so that he still has someone to compete with. Vegeta craves nothing more then ultimate power until the very end of DBZ.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Piccolo
Race: Namek

The Piccolo in the DBZ series is the sole offspring of Piccolo-Daimao from the original. Like his father, his intentions are evil. However, when a greater evil, Raditz, threatens the Earth, he turns to the side of good and helps Goku. He later trains Gohan, and the kid helps Piccolo become a good, well-meaning person. Capable of regenerating body parts and manipulating his size and shape, Piccolo is a formidable fighter.

The main villain of movie #7, Android #13 and his two companions #14 and #15 travel back in time to complete Dr. Gero's primary objective: Kill Son Goku. He faces off against Son while the other Z warriors deal with his minions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Android #16
Race: Android

Android #16 is one of the oddest characters in DBZ, and he seems deeper and more complex than most characters on the show. Created by Dr. Gero as an experiment, #16 was never meant to be activated. Unlike his counterparts, he was not based on a human model and is completely mechanical. The most powerful of the three androids, #16 only exists in the main DBZ timeline. Very nature loving and quiet, he rarely ever fights unless it is absolutely necessary.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Android #17
Race: Android

Created for one sole purpose, #17's mission is to destroy Goku. Constructed from a human base, #17 is not completely mechanical. Initially under the control of Dr. Gero, he breaks free and kills him. Even with his creator destroyed, #17's internal programming still gives him the urge to search for Goku and destroy him. This objective is soon put behind him when he is forced to run for his life from Cell. An adept fighter, #17 makes a reappearance in GT as a villain.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Android #18
Race: Android

#17's twin sister, #18 has identical fighting strength. Like her brother, she is also created from a human base. During her escape from Cell, Krillin falls in love with her. To #18's surprise, Krillin wishes for the bomb inside her to be removed with the DragonBalls. They eventually marry and have a daughter named Marron.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Android #19
Race: Android

Android #19 is Dr. Gero's personal servant and bodyguard. He is not too intelligent or strong, but possesses the ability to sap the energy from Ki attacks and physical contact. #19's downfall is that he runs out of power and needs to refill his batteries constantly. This eventually leads to his destruction.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Android #20 (Dr. Gero)
Race: Android

Back when Goku had obliterated the Red Ribbon Army, a solitary scientist named Dr. Gero worked hard to create warriors capable of defeating this powerful boy. He toils for decades, but his work finally comes to fruition three years after the defeat of Frieza. Fearing death, he has his mind implanted in one of his androids shells, and becomes #20. Dr. Gero is responsible for the creation of Cell and all the other androids bearing the Red Ribbon logo, and like his servant #19, he can absorb energy from attacks and physical contact.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Cell
Race: Android

A creation of Dr. Gero's, he was assembled using the DNA from the best fighters in the universe. The project was taking too long, and he abandoned the project. However, Dr. Gero's computer remained working, even after his death. Cell was completed a few years after Mirai Trunks had destroyed #17 and #18 in his time, which Cell needed to absorb to become "perfect." Seeing there was no solution to this problem in his time, Cell murdered Trunks and traveled back to when the androids still existed. Cell eventually finds what he's looking for, and goes perfect. He holds a game where he challenges anyone in the world to fight him, or else the Earth would be destroyed. Cell is killed by Gohan with a one-handed Kame Hame Ha.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Krillin
Race: Human

Kuririn is the most powerful human on Earth, although his abilities are still dwarfed by Goku and Gohan. He was once Goku's rival when they were young, but they later became best friends. A Buddhist monk, he shaves his head by choice (#18 convinces him to grow some hair later in the series). Krillin is willing to sacrifice his life for Earth (and he has many times), and whenever possible he is at Goku's side.
