Bio:
During Kuriza’s rule of the organization, development of the Saibaiman project continues. In AGE 769, the “Elite” generation of the creatures are completed. These Saibaimen are far superior to the previous versions. Their size and power were increased yet again, but this time around so was their intellect, making them capable of advanced strategies in combat. Their natural lifespan remains unchanged at a measly 6 months.
As the scientists continue to tweak the creatures, a conflict in opinions arises. They split in two teams, each focusing on developing the traits they deem important for the next upgrade. In AGE 776, the two teams' results are shown off with the completion of the "Brute" and "Prophet" class Saibaimen. The Brute class have had their intelligence lowered in comparison to all previous generations of Saibaimen, but have had both their power and durability increased drastically. However, the increase in muscle mass and decrease in intelligence has caused them to suffer a loss of speed and reaction time. Meanwhile, the Prophet class have had their physical abilities decreased in exchange for a drastic increase in their mental abilities. They are used as commanders in battle and tend to stick near their planter so they can telepathically relay orders to other Saibaimen classes across great distances, allowing changes in battle strategies on the fly. Both of their natural lifespans have been limited to 2 months.
In AGE 779, Gichamu’s curiosity gets the better of him. After Freeza is resurrected on Earth, the scientist secretly obtains a sample of the tyrant’s DNA before he’s placed into a rejuvenation chamber. He integrates parts of the obtained genetic information into the project with the dream of creating the world's most powerful Saibaiman...and he succeeded. The resulting “King” class is extremely unstable. They have incredibly short lifespans of just a week and are almost feral in nature. Its extreme aggression causes it to attack indiscriminately, rendering it useless for missions. Gichamu deems this development path a failure and plans to scrap it entirely. However, word of its existence makes its way up to newly healed Freeza. The tyrant decides he needs to train to defeat the Super Saiyans, and these new creatures will make effective partners for him, and his organization’s elites.
Saibaimen sets are issued to all Planet Shark squads in the event low-level support is needed quickly, such as when a job takes a surprisingly difficult turn. Included in the set are a dozen Drone seeds, a dozen Grunt seeds, six Elite seeds, six Brute seeds, and two Prophet seeds, along with a vial of special growth-fluid. The seeds are simply buried in the ground and sprinkled with a small amount of the fluid. After a short wait, the Saibaimen sprout from the ground fully grown. Drones, Grunts, and Elites have a special trait that causes their power to fluctuate, within a certain range, based on the nutritional state of the soil they are planted in. As specialty types designed to fulfill specific roles in battle, the Brutes and Prophets abandon that “feature”.
Notes:
The Saibaimen designs are taken from a little bit of everywhere. The original manga, Dragon Ball Online, Dragon Ball Z Sagas, Dragon Ball Fusions, various other games for the pallets, etc. As with the previous sheet, I decided to embrace the absurd for the original Saibaiman designs and include basically every color variation I could, right down to Cocoaman and the Saibai Rangers. So I changed my previous "color = Battle Power range" lore for the Saibaimen that I had. As explained above, nutrient level accounts for strength, while chemical composition of the soil accounts for the colors themselves. There would likely be some correlation crossover with that, but I'm not about to sit down and make a list of what elements result in what colors and if said elements are beneficial for plant growth. lol
The Saibaiking's original color scheme was bad. It's just bad. The only reason it looks okay in the game itself is because Fusions is full of lots of bad designs with bad colors. So after trying to honor the original colors for my version, I ultimately decided to abandon them in favor of using colors taken from Freeza since this version of the character uses the Emperor of Evil's DNA.

...Then why doesn't Raditz have it too? Hell, how did Turles even LEARN it?!
Eh, no... Well, you know, anime rules and stuff... (He would/could/should've'd time to do that...)

Raditz is a weakling who can't even control his Ozaru form. I think it's best if he doesn't have the ability to transform whenever he likes. Tullece...Tullece is a mystery though.
Not really. It's a poor option. Nappa was getting his butt kicked, Vegeta told him to calm down. Then he was pretty even with Goku, and when it became evident he couldn't win, Vegeta told him to back off so he could fight instead. So no need to go ape up to that point. He then made the mistake of trying to attack Gohan and Kuririn, and Goku took him out of commission for that in a matter of seconds. Nappa going ape also ruins the tension with Goku realizing he had killed his Grandpa while fighting Vegeta.

I freakin love the back story, especially the original purpose. How strong are the Elites? How far do think they can last in the series in terms of raw power?

Maybe? But it makes me question the things you eat...
I dunno. I hate to say anything since I haven't ironed out all the details for the Saiyan part of my project, especially in terms of numbers... but maybe; Drones = half a Raditz, Grunts = roughly on par with Raditz, Elites = roughly on par with Nappa, Brutes = maybe 2 Nappas, and Prophets = somewhere between Raditz and Nappa.

Those seem about right! Those brutes could almost have given Gokuu a run for his money....almost.
Also, Saibaimen diet, not as bad as you think. They taste like candy and coleslaw.

That'd be pushing it. I don't mind lending out a little bit here and there, but I would like the majority of my project to remain unique to, well, my project. lol

Hey I'm working on a Dbz crossover story and I must say that I'm intrigued with these different kinds of saibaimen. I was wondering if I could get your permission to use them.

Whale whale whale, what do we haaave here?
So is this the finished version, or are you gonna add more onto this?
Also, this kinda feels like I'm looking at an evolution progression!! Nice little biology tidbits in the description too. - w-)b
Also, ALSO, I still like the green one the best. *old school*

The-Devils-Corpse In reply to hg-project [2012-10-04 00:03:36 +0000 UTC]
Botany at it's finest.
Maybe? As I've said, I don't like too many of the other Saibaiman variations from DBO. They probably could serve some sort of purpose, but seeing as how they are supposed to be engineered for combat by an organization who conquers planets, a standard humanoid form seems best. There are some other humanoid versions that I didn't include; one that looks like the "Elites" with a very thin tail, some fat dwarf ones, and then the ones that look like they are in a cactus suit. I don't see a need to add them in though; the first isn't all that different from one already on here and the other two are just kinda "meh". So, unless they come out with another version that I like down the line, I think I'm done (unless I cave later on).
It basically is an evolution process. Not a natural one, but an evolution all the same. lol
Yeah, the green ones cool. They blow up bandits, like a boss.

Saibamen just got a whole lot more awesome. Lovin' the second-to-last one over there. He looks like he can do a whole lot more than just blow shit up (or Yamcha)! Nice work as always TDC!

The original version of him could have done a whole lot more since they were originally the size of Nappa. xD

Yup. I don't mind keeping their bulky size, but it seems like all the characters I'm adding into the rewrite are really tall and/or really muscular, so I wanted to mix it up a bit from having another Nappa, Broly, Bojack, etc.

I don't really mind big characters or forms, I just don't like how a lot of the non Toriyama creations use them as the final, most powerful transformation or character...doesn't really fit his style.
