Name: Goya Komorebi
(Name Pun: Goya - Play on Yogurt and Guava, influenced by parent's name - ‘Go’ from Ichigo and ‘Ya’ from Yamma. Komorebi is Japanese for the interplay between light and leaves when sunlight shines through trees.)
Alias: Sunika
(Name Pun: Sunika - Loose Romaji interpretation of the Japanese pronunciation of Sneaker.)
Species: Natural Hybrid (Part-Human/Part-Saiyan)
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance:
Goya still has a youthful complexion given his age of only eighteen. The most striking aspect perhaps of his appearance is his almond shaped piercing ice blue eyes. His dark brown hair forms a natural widow’s peak atop his forehead, whilst his hairstyle is cut in a simple forward brushed crop. Given his eyes are set wide apart, when not frowning under a heavy set brow, the young man can have something of an angelic expression, though the intensity of his gaze belies the personal torment he has had to contend with at such a young age.
Athletic and sporty, Goya’s participation in a myriad of sports, especially soccer and swimming along with his time spent training both on his own and under the tutelage of his mother has seen the eighteen-year-old has become muscularly toned and gifted him quite broad shoulders. Though not excessively tall, the teen stands around a hundred and seventy centimetres tall, though he is also still growing. Having never been too self-absorbed, Goya tends to his appearance with minimalistic effort to maintain a tidy if unrefined look.
Not known to be too interested in fashion, his attire normally ranges from the regular sports brands to jeans and trainers. When training, the young man often prefers to be topless, sporting a pair of loose fitted baggy training pants.
History:
The day on which Goya Komorebi came into this world was as innocuous and uninspiring as any other normal, unspectacular, boring day. There was no cataclysmic event. Stars did not fall from the sky, the grounds did not tremble in fear.
It was just your average, predictable and frustratingly long Wednesday. Traffic was bad, the heat wave resulted in another hose ban, and the world tournament was still over a decade away. In the history of greatest days, the day Goya Komorebi was born, probably ranks among the most typical of typical Wednesdays, and yet for his small family, it was a day that would forever change the lives of Yamma and Ichigo Komorebi.
Before the young child’s birth, Yamma, the eldest daughter of an influential middle-class loyalist Saiyan family on the planet Zoon, was a fierce warrior. A firm, unyielding, resolute and brash young woman, the female was an accomplished fighter and martial artist, well respected on her homeworld within the Saiyan Solar Empire.
At the time her family was well known for their intense loyalty to the ruling House of Blood River that governed the planet along with their hard-line stance on keeping the Saiyan bloodline as pure as possible. The over-eager daughter was expected to be the best by her father and determined to do her own family proud, Yamma would make a crucial decision in her young life to participate in an invitational tournament to be staged on Earth and open to all species during her mid-twenties.
Hoping that her possible victory in such a reputable tournament would further cement her family’s position without equal in the eyes of the ruling house, as well as to impress her growth and skill unto her father, the proud Saiyan was as equally determined to take part in the tournament as she was overconfident. Her father, however, had other ideas.
With his daughter the eldest of his five children, the old Saiyan had hoped to arrange a political union with his daughter to a rival family. Unifying the two families in hopes of securing their future status just on the outer edges of the ruling elite. Against his own wishes, Yamma secreted herself off to Earth, determined to prove to her father her own capability.
The tournament began much like she had dreamt. Winning the first few rounds in convincing fashion, the young and impressionable Yamma seemed to be on course to achieving exactly as she had wished. However, in the fourth round, the female would be paired against another Saiyan, this man from a rival clan to that of Yamma’s own. With so much at stake in such a fight, it was unthinkable that Yamma could lose.
And yet she did. Beaten so viciously by her opponent, the fight itself almost destroyed much of the arena in which it was staged. Broken, bloodied and bested, Yamma was in a critical life-threatening state having completely overexerted herself in the hopes of defeating her opponent. Taken to an infirmary and placed on life support, the woman fluttered in and out of consciousness.
Her injuries, however, were the least of her worries. Incensed by his daughter's reckless behaviour and enraged that her loss led his family to be considered as an embarrassment among the elite on the planet of Zoon, her father disowned his daughter, ostracising and cutting the Saiyan female off from all family members and forbidding her from ever returning to her home.
Stranded on a foreign world, knowing no one and surrounded by a race that she had been brought up to believe was inferior, it is during her recovery that she would meet the unsuspecting man that would become the centre of her existence.
Ichigo Komorebi was a struggling medical student that desperately wanted to become a doctor but settled for being an infirmary nurse. Compassionate, considerate, patient and persistent, Ichigo was on call when Yamma was brought in following her defeat. Helping to stabilise the woman, it was he that would try fruitlessly to convince her family to remain on Earth during the woman’s recovery.
Feeling partly responsible for being unable to prevent her family from leaving, Ichigo grew a soft spot for the stubborn and obnoxious patient, often looking in on her during the various stages of the woman’s rehabilitation.
Initially, Yamma found the man worthy of contempt and despised his happy face whenever she saw him. He was completely unlike any man she had ever met. And having always considered male humans to be unimpressive due to their often low and lazy power levels, considered Ichigo as unremarkable as any other Homosapien. Uncouth and aggressive, she would often berate the man.
And yet, somehow the annoying nurse found a way into her heart. Seeing through her bravado, unresponsive to her slander, unmoved by her aggression, Ichigo was a constant throughout Yamma’s recovery, often helping to assist during her rehabilitation even when he wasn’t needed. Slowly the woman’s ire for his presence thawed. Her distaste for humans softened. Confiding in him the misgivings of her situation, his honesty and empathy providing her with the first real friend she had made since arriving on Earth months before.
By the time Yamma had finished her full recovery, she and Ichigo had fallen in love. Deciding to stay on Earth with her new love, their coupling was unusual as one might expect of two lovers from different species. What was normal for one was surreal for the other, but such differences became inconsequential, and their bond and trust grew ever stronger until finally, Yamma fell pregnant with their first and only child.
The sudden shift in Yamma’s circumstances had a profound effect on her increasingly erratic psyche. Having never thought much of having a family, the dawning realisation that she herself would be a mother, no-less to a hybrid child on a foreign world deeply unsettled the young woman, ill-prepared for such a change.
Conflicted over the child’s place on Earth, and due to the situation with her own family remaining unresolved and lingering on her mind, the woman’s uneasy childhood fueled Yamma’s decision, to not only stay on Earth but to virtually remove any hint of her Saiyan nature. This state of warped mind was further twisted by the fear of reprisals from her own family and Species, deeming it necessary to sacrifice her old life for her new happiness.
The pregnancy was one of discomfort and ill-ease, hindered by the woman’s own delusions and suspicions. Having grown extremely protective of this small slice of happiness she had discovered on Earth with Ichigo and her unborn child, Yamma’s volatility became increasingly fitful. Though her partner did all he could to weather the storm, the female’s instinct and stubborn nature saw her carry out her desperate decision to remove her own tail.
To remove such an appendage and important part of her body had almost disastrous consequences for the young woman. Heavy blood loss not only caused serious difficulties for her own health but also destabilised the well-being of the unborn fetus growing within her womb. Returning home from work, Ichigo found his wife unconscious, covered in blood, her severed tail on the floor, and a gruesome carving knife limply held in her unresponsive hand.
Quickly Ichigo raced the female to a hospital, where medical professionals stabilised not only the mother but also the child. Yet the nightmarish event had a damning effect on Ichigo. Growing all the more concerned about his lover’s fragile state, and what she would do to the baby once the child was born. Deciding that to leave the city and live in the quieter surroundings of rural life, once Yamma was well enough to leave the hospital, the couple moved away from the city.
By the time the child was born on that typically long Wednesday afternoon, Yamma herself was like a new woman. Her dark hair coloured green, utilising coloured contact lenses, constantly suppressing her Ki, the scars of her tail now only a secret she shared with her lover. Known by the name of Kiui, it is the only name their child has ever known his mother as.
Goya was a tubby little baby, a tuft of dark brown lock of hair swirled on the top of his domed scalp, and big bright blues that constantly shone and always watching. A happy little boy that smiled whenever he saw his parents and didn’t always sleep when his parents hoped. Goya like the Wednesday he was born on, was as typical as most babies born on Earth get, except he like his Saiyan mother also had a tail.
The tail immediately caused disharmony between the two new parents. Kiui immediately expressed her desire to have the appendage removed safely by the doctors at birth. However, Ichigo having seen just how damaging the traumatic experience was for his lover feared causing a similar emotional and physical development in the child.
Adamant that Kiui not inflicts the same cruel pain on Goya, Ichigo is able to enforce his desire to keep the boy's tail, as the family began like many other families. Sleepless nights, lots of diapers and never enough hours in the day to sleep. Though they were as new to parenting as any parent is, both found comfort and happiness in the shape of a bouncy little boy, who was quickly developing his own character. Yet the topic of boy's small tail remained a strain between the pair, not least helped by Goya’s latent power level signifying the child as possibly gifted by human standards.
Unfortunately for Kiui, her fears regarding her family, and the possible loss of this happiness she was so desperate to keep, finally came true. By the time Goya had reached the age of three years old, his Grandfather had come to Earth intent on searching for his missing daughter. Adept at suppressing her Ki, the revelation of discovering that her father had not only arrived on the planet in search of her but had managed to find his way into her small village town threw Kiui into a hysterical panic.
Knowing her father as she did, she knew the grandfather to her child would never accept Goya. Her father was opinionated on many things, none more so than the threat of halflings to the pure Saiyan bloodline. Having for a long period harboured the view that halflings were the more substantial threat to the future of the Solar Empire, Kiui began to fear for the life of her infant son.
Kiui became certain that the only way to keep Goya safe and her place upon Earth was to once again sacrifice the lingering hints to her past that her son carried. Convinced that her father may have been drawn to the familiar aura of Goya’s Ki, Kiui returned home and committed the heinous act she had threatened to carry out since the child was born. She severed Goya’s tail.
The child wailed and screamed gruesomely like never before. Tears and blood stained his little body. Yet somehow her intentions as poorly judged as they were, achieved the intent she was hoping for. Hiding the child’s Ki, her father never came calling. Yet Ichigo's return from work would soon eclipse her worries regarding her father.
Broken at seeing his only child so savagely mutilated, the love Ichigo shared for Kiui fractured in an instant. The boy traumatised and refusing to go anywhere near his mother, deathly shrilling whenever the woman reached for the little boy, the damage Kiui had caused their son was almost unforgivable. Kiui vehemently protested her reasons for wanting to keep the child safe, and they by extension together, yet the man was unable to accept her callous decision.
Deciding they should split, Kiui leaves the family home, and Ichigo picks up the pieces of a once happy little boy now completely afraid of his own shadow. Goya’s initial development and progress took a huge step back. The loss of his small tail meant the child would have to learn how to walk, jump, climb and crawl all over again. The boy would often just want to lay on his tummy and not move at all, yet by the grace and patience of his father, the child’s inner spirit started to come back to the surface.
At such a crucial age, Goya becomes ever more dependent on his doting father, who begins to relinquish his own dream of becoming a doctor in order to focus on simply raising his own child. As those difficult months slowly become years, the father and son become inseparable.
With the sands of time moving onwards, the small fractured family finally begin to heal. Tentatively Ichigo and Kiui begin to spend time together, slowly rekindling their relationship, yet it is a long time before Ichigo trusts his partner to see their child. By the time Ichigo reaches his fifth birthday, he finally begins the long process of becoming resettled with his mother.
Bit by bit at first, slowly, allowing the child to feel at ease near his mother, Goya with his father at his side began to spend more time with his mother, as a family. Yet the damage that event two years before had inflicted on the child kept Goya’s affections at arm's length. He’d only ever cuddle with his father, if he hurt himself or needed aid, he would only reach for his father. Very much his Daddy’s boy, Kiui realised it would be a long time before her son would once again be her son.
Though Kiui doesn’t live with Ichigo and Goya during this period, the mother spends more of her time visiting her partner and child than not. Still keen to keep her small family hidden from her family, she is able to convince Ichigo to allow Goya to learn to suppress his Ki, much like she did. It is a small step towards rectifying the broken trust between the couple, but Ichigo seeing how desperate Kiui is to mend her relationship with her child agrees to let his partner train their son.
Goya’s first introduction to techniques begins around this time. Playing a game with his mother out in the vacant fields, away from his doting father and the prying eyes of the town’s villagers, his unusual mom would have him perform peculiar feats. They would talk and sit, focus and laugh all at the child’s own pace. Goya would practise running and jumping, and copy his mother’s odd dance. Though he is completely unaware of what these games are actually a very simple form of martial arts, the time he spends with Kiui starts to heal the rift that the boy has for his mother.
Continuing these exercises, Goya gently begins to hide and suppress his Ki to similar levels of any average boy his age. Introduced to his mother’s form of martial art, the elder woman begins to teach the child not only a technique to hide himself but also weaves tales telling of great warriors and lore that live in the fables and stories of centuries gone by. The story telling mesmerises the child’s imagination, filling him with wonder.
Raised by his parents as he was, Goya had believed himself a human Earthling. At Kiui’s request and with Ichigo’s blessing, the child learns nothing of his Saiyan heritage, knowing nothing of his mother’s mysterious past and the traumatic event of his tail being severed now begins to become a mere fragmented nightmarish memory. Not finding it unusual that his mother doesn’t live with him and his father, the boy’s childhood from there on becomes relatively normal.
He goes to school and plays with the local children. Becoming involved in the nearby boys club, he spends his free time playing soccer, baseball and going swimming, all the while continuing his training with his mother and learning more and more about the history of inspiring men and women which seems a distant memory from the quiet peace of the present.
By the time he reaches his teens, another big change sweeps the family up from the village and drops them back in a large sprawling city. Ichigo having finally finished his studies becomes a Doctor, achieving his life’s ambition with the unwavering support of Kiui who had begun to take on more responsibilities at the Komorebi home.
Having decided to accept a role as a medic within the Earth’s Military, the family moved to West Capitol, this time with Kiui finally living with her partner and son in the same family home. The trio lives in a small but comfy apartment in a high-rise overlooking the sea. Ichigo spending less time at home, and with Kiui beginning to take a more assertive and traditional Earthling mother role within the home provides the stable platform Goya needs to grow used to his new surroundings.
A new school and a new city seem overwhelming to the child at first, though he quickly settles and makes a few friends. None more important than the young Namekian boy at his new school, Lugs. Goya and Lugs soon become virtually inseparable. Both keen soccer players, they spend their time together riding bikes and playing video games.
It is at this point that Goya’s training had evolved from simple spiritual meditations and suppression techniques. His mother had begun training him in more demanding martial art forms. Always away from prying eyes, deep in the nearby Jungle. She curtailed his desire to overreach by tempering his training with wondrous stories and insightful teachings. Adjusting his mindset to be reflective and to not listen to his Saiyan instinctual aggression by focusing the child to utilise defensive techniques.
Having shown remarkable progress given his severed limb since Kiui had initially begun the boy’s training, the female finally sheds some light on fundamental martial art aspects such as Ki and differing Forms. She also purposefully begins to teach Goya in utilising his energy to provide a defensive barrier for his body. Further hindering any instinct to be too aggressive.
Goya was a typical boy on the cusp of adolescence. He had ideas of how the world worked, what his wishes for the future were and had questions that he needed answered. Still guarded around his mother, the youngster had begun to tentatively open up to Kiui thanks to the intriguing stories she had shared with him. Questions of Demons and the Super Saiyan that saved the Universe often keep the pair in conversation.
Yet still, the child was not capable of showing his dutiful mother the affection she perhaps deserved. Not able to call her Mom, he’d always refer to his mother by her name. Though they shared, Goya still remains uneasy being close to his mother. Though he’s not as certain as to why that is, this facet of his character also sees the young boy have difficulty being at ease and unguarded with any other female figure he meets.
During his teens, however, Goya’s life would become intrinsically more difficult as world events swept him up into despair.
Upon the year 2800, Goya excited about the upcoming world tournament begged his parents to see the important event. Kiui however, fearful of her son being around other Saiyans was adamant that the boy would not go. Seeing the tournament on the television was just as good for a boy as young as he. Ichigo meanwhile, being the father he was and wanting to give the child all he asked for, secretly got the youngster tickets to the event. Goya and his young Namekian friend Lugs would travel to the tournament.
Yet what should have been one of the best moments in the youngster’s life soon becomes the start of a harrowing nightmare. A spear wielding Demon fighter begins to toy with the crowd, taunting the spectators before taking out his aggression upon the citizens. As panic and fear grips the crowd, desperate to escape and trampling over anything to get away, Goya and Lugs barely manage to break away from the unfolding chaos only to be found by his mother who had come for the children as soon as she realised what Ichigo had done.
Returning home without a hair on his head being harmed, the disaster caused a searing rise in anti-alien sentiment on Earth. Goya’s friendship with Lugs was quickly put to the test as other children within their class soon began to turn against the small Namekian, vilifying him much in the same way their parents vilified the Great Apes that had rampaged just weeks before.
True to his nature, Goya protected Lugs from the would-be bullies, ending up in a fight with one particular child that resulted in Goya being hauled up to face his schools' principal. Informed that the school had contacted his mother, the young boy feared the punishment that would come down on him. Yet when Kiui arrived, his mother immediately leapt to her child’s defence.
Able to talk the principal down from expelling Goya, scolding the blubbering man for not doing enough to prevent racial hatred amongst the children, Goya got out of school with just a month’s worth of detentions.
The moment had a tremendously positive impact on Goya. Bonding with Kiui over his bravery in standing up for Lugs, seeing his mother tell his own principal off had the child grinning from ear to ear. Instead of being scolded, Kiui offered to treat the boy to ice cream as a reward for his actions. Conversely, much to her surprise, Goya asked to head off into the jungles to carry on his mother's training.
Overjoyed at how open her son had just become, hugging her in the manner he did upon exiting the principal’s office, a hug he'd never normally afforded her, Kiui was so moved she began to rethink everything she shared with her child. Namely the truth of his heritage, and the mystery regarding the scar on his lower back. Fearful that if she did she may push the child away when it seemed she was finally getting close to him once more and along with the worrisome political climate the world had plunged into, Kiui opted not to.
Returning to the jungles beyond West Capitol, the mother and son share what would be their last ever training session. It is at that point she shows the young child the Surahameha, an energy blast learned by every member of her family, passed down through the generations. Goya’s swept up in absolute excitement. Amazed at his mother’s ability, the boy can’t wait to learn the role for himself, yet before the female can truly deliver her lesson, a sudden attack force begins to be seen overhead, heading towards West Capitol.
The rise of the Blue Banner army takes the citizens of West Capitol and Earth’s Military by surprise, as a huge battle erupts in the skies above both Kiui and Goya. Able to discern the obvious ability of those above, the woman panics over what to do. Her husband was still in the city, with the military and if he was caught up in the conflict at all, then she feared losing him. Without thinking she ordered her son to hide in the dense jungle and wait for the battle to be ended as she takes off into the sky.
Goya, fraught with worry and fear at this sudden monstrous development and still gripped rush of adrenaline at seeing his mother be so purposeful and powerful, lingers in the thicket of trees watching the glow of light that his mother leaves in her wake as she takes to the skies. There he stands transfixed, watching his mother join the various fighters in protecting West Capitol unannounced, fighting for her husband and child’s safety, only to see her fall.
Witnessing the death of his mother, Goya shrilled in fury and anger, his body glowing in a red light before he charged off into the overgrowth of trees and wood in search of his Mom. As the day melts into night, his search continues with little to no success as the battle overhead finally comes to an end, with the Blue Banner emerging victorious. For hours he searches until the boy becomes exhausted and collapses.
Ichigo having realised that the military would fall to the Blue Banner had already fled his post as he went into the jungles in search of his wife and child. Using the only technique he had ever learned at Kiui’s insistence and under her mentorship, Ichigo senses Goya’s Ki and is able to locate the boy. Sweeping his child up into his arms, the boy wakes to tell his father the passing of Kiui.
With nothing to return to in the Capitol, and the world swiftly changing around him, Ichigo utilises a capsule car and takes his son away from the west, heading across continent and putting as much distance as he can between he and the Blue Banner. The two males end up taking shelter in a refugee camp set up many miles away. There they both assume false identities as Butsu and his son, Sunika.
Taking up a position as a camp medic, helping to treat the injuries and illnesses of the many refugees that had taken shelter within the camp, Butsu uses his work to take his mind off the death of his late partner. Unable to come to the terms of such a loss, the man begins searching for someone or something to blame for his loss and so starts aiding the resistance that begins to form against the Blue Banner by smuggling medical supplies to the beleaguered fighter group.
Meanwhile, as the maniacal Red Re-aligned Android began his rampage in the stars, Goya feeling cut off from his father for the first time in his life, and unable to process the confounding emotions of his mother’s death delves further into the intricacies of the teachings Kiui had imparted onto him. Hoping to replace the emptiness of her death with the lessons she had taught him, the young teen desperate to mimic his mother tries to complete her Surahameha training.
However, with such little understanding and knowledge of how the woman created such explosive energy, Goya soon becomes frustrated. Festering and feeling lost, his anger and fury quickly begin to fuel his volatile emotional state. Blinded by his rage, it is at that point that the young boy finally performs a technique similar to that of which he had witnessed his mother use.
The blast of energy was dirty and erratic, unclean and unpolished in every way. Vivid gold in colour, the energy sapped over his form, spat from his hand and tinged the fine hairs on the back of his neck as he pulsed the beam high into the sky, screaming at the heavens and stars that shone down on him. Though unstable, his new found weapon felt like the last lingering connection he had to a mother he had once spurned.
With both Komorebi males struggling to come to terms with the death of the Kiui, the two having been so close for so long begin to drift apart. Ichigo feeling responsible for the death of the mother becomes unable to carry the guilt of his role in his beloved Kiui’s demise. Goya meanwhile, having finally begun to understand and appreciate the unusual mother he had felt as if her departing had caused him to lose not just one parent but two.
An obvious shift in the boy’s psyche takes place, viewing the Blue Banner and those connected to the organisation as being the very reason for his mother’s death soon starts to harbour a strong resentment to the group.
Life at this point soon becomes one of constant struggle. The refuge becomes swamped with too many displaced men, women and children hoping to seek its sanctuary. As if forgotten by the greater populace, Goya is among those who have to scavenge daily for food, both for himself and his father. Living in squalid conditions, with little comforts and only memories of happier times, the period hardens the young Goya.
Upon the beginning of the Saiyan Invasion of Earth, this struggle only becomes more difficult. Uprooted from their dilapidated sanctuary, Ichigo takes Goya onto the road in hopes of finding a safer sanctuary. With the time spent together forcing the two males into a situation to confront their inability to reconnect since the death of Kiui, Ichigo finally begins to tell his son a hint of the truths surrounding his dead mother.
Informing the teen that Kiui had at one time been a great and respected fighter that fought in similar tournaments as the one Goya would sometimes watch on television, these snippets of information finally helped the child to begin to process the loss of mother. Yet while Ichigo answered as much as he could about Kiui, he forgoes telling his son the truth about her mysterious past out of respect for his dead lover.
Unfortunately, fate would again play another cruel card for the Komorebi. Inadvertently running into a military patrol that had set up a roadblock. Without any identification, and with the son’s unruly appearance possibly ousting him as a Saiyan at a time when hysteria regarding the species was at an all time high, the military officer arrested both Ichigo and Goya and placed them in a detention camp.
Eventually, Ichigo comes clean about his true identity to the men holding him in hopes of protecting Goya, by revealing himself as a former medic for the military. Immediately Ichigo is conscripted into the lines of the Military now subservient to the Blue Banner during the desperate time of war. Leaving Goya to be placed into an internment camp in the meanwhile to await processing.
Truly alone for the first time in his life, Goya takes his situation into his own hands. Utilising the vicious blast he had taught himself in the wake of his mother’s death to free himself from the camp, the teen takes a group of guards by surprise. Learning of his father’s heading, the teen steals a capsule motorcycle and takes off in search of his father.
Knowing that his father had been taken to North City where much of the heavier fighting had been taking place, Goya foolishly pursues his father. The journey north for the teen, however, is not so simple. Avoiding military patrols and more roadblocks, as well as the Saiyan invasion forces, Goya barely arrives at the shattered city, only to witness Super Saiyan Queen do combat with a group of fighters.
Once again watching helplessly as the city is smashed and pummelled into rubble, Goya locates not his father amidst the chaos but his old friend Lugs. There he learns of how Namekian had been treated by Goya’s father at a nearby military camp. Eager to head off after his father, the Namekian however finally confesses that Goya might not like what he finds there as the place was hit hard by the Saiyans which resulted in Lugs being stranded and forced to flee for his own life.
Refusing to listen to Lugs advice to stay away, the teen travels to the camp, only to find the place in utter ruins. With hundreds of bodies smashed and trampled, bloodied and broken, he finally finds his father among the dead. Outraged, the teen’s latent Saiyan aggression begins to finally take hold of his instincts. Blaming both the Solar Empire and the Blue Banner for the death of both his parents, the young teen's rage becomes uncontrollable as he lays waste to the site in fury.
With the retreat of the Saiyan Forces, Earth began the long road to recovery and rebuilding, yet being a displaced refugee of two wars, Goya slipped through the fingers of the very system put in place to help youngsters such as he. Resorting to stealing on the streets to sustain him and his close friend Lugs, the two teens eventually find work on a farm in the village Goya grew up in. Though the pay is little due to their circumstances and situation, it is enough for the pair to get by on.
In the wake of the Earth Kami’s demise, the political campaign to become Earth’s new Premier was well underway. Unable to stand aside and do nothing, Goya would often try to rally locals into supporting any of the candidates standing against the Blue Banner’s pet Android. Yet with the damning revelation of the elections being tampered and rigged, and for the Blue Banner to seize control in the chaos, Goya only became more disillusioned and angry.
Seeing the new leader as nothing more than a murderer and tyrant, Goya teeters on the edge of knife’s edge. Concluding that to be the end of these despicable characters that have virtually destroyed his life, he must become more than what he is currently the teen now almost an adult dreams of visiting revenge on those he deems responsible for the loss of his parents. As news of the re-emergence of the Ape Queen and the cybernetic former-Kami filters into the public consciousness, Goya continues his focus on the technique his mother taught him, forgetting the lessons of the stories she instilled upon him.
Currently only his trusted confidant and friend, Lugs, knows Sunika’s true identity of Goya Komorebi. Goya currently has no knowledge of his hybrid nature, or that his mother was a respected middle-class Saiyan.
Starting Planet: Earth
Techniques:
Offensive
Raging Blast [N1]
Ki Beam/Blast that charges at 33% per turn. (IE: 33% > 66% > 99% > 132% > 165% )
An unstable, vicious beam blast of wave energy, that spits and flickers upon eruption so dangerously that it sometimes appears to engulf the user. Fiery gold in colour, the energy is shot via Goya’s right hand.
As a result of his inadequate and incomplete training, Goya’s inability to utilise the Surahameha technique his mother tried to teach him properly has resulted in a poorly executed blast similar in vein to that of the Angry Kamehameha. Drawing on a more carnal aggression, the hybrid struggles to consistently manipulate his Ki in order to fire the beam, and often needs to be in a volatile state of mind to effectively trigger the attack.
Energy Shield [N1]
Ki Barrier that charges at 33% per turn.
A glow of energy that engulfs Goya’s entire being in a shade of blood red.
The second complete technique that Goya learned from his mother, the hybrid is able to generate a glow of pure Ki energy around his physical form to protect himself from attacks. The colour of the light was initially blue when he learned the technique yet in recent months when drawing upon his Ki to manifest the technique, due to his unpredictable mindset, the glow has since shifted to a crimson tone.

Utility
Energy Suppression [UT1]
The first extensive technique that Goya learned under the tutelage and mentoring of his Saiyan mother, the hybrid male is entirely capable of suppressing his power in order to better hide from the gaze of those with Energy Sensing or those utilizing a Scouter.

Appearance:
Goya still has a youthful complexion given his age of only eighteen. The most striking aspect perhaps of his appearance is his almond shaped piercing ice blue eyes. His dark brown hair forms a natural widow’s peak atop his forehead, whilst his hairstyle is cut in a simple forward brushed crop. Given his eyes are set wide apart, when not frowning under a heavy set brow, the young man can have something of an angelic expression, though the intensity of his gaze belies the personal torment he has had to contend with at such a young age.
Athletic and sporty, Goya’s participation in a myriad of sports, especially soccer and swimming along with his time spent training both on his own and under the tutelage of his mother has seen the eighteen-year-old has become muscularly toned and gifted him quite broad shoulders. Though not excessively tall, the teen stands around a hundred and seventy centimetres tall, though he is also still growing. Having never been too self-absorbed, Goya tends to his appearance with minimalistic effort to maintain a tidy if unrefined look.
Not known to be too interested in fashion, his attire normally ranges from the regular sports brands to jeans and trainers. When training, the young man often prefers to be topless, sporting a pair of loose fitted baggy training pants.
History:
The day on which Goya Komorebi came into this world was as innocuous and uninspiring as any other normal, unspectacular, boring day. There was no cataclysmic event. Stars did not fall from the sky, the grounds did not tremble in fear.
It was just your average, predictable and frustratingly long Wednesday. Traffic was bad, the heat wave resulted in another hose ban, and the world tournament was still over a decade away. In the history of greatest days, the day Goya Komorebi was born, probably ranks among the most typical of typical Wednesdays, and yet for his small family, it was a day that would forever change the lives of Yamma and Ichigo Komorebi.
Before the young child’s birth, Yamma, the eldest daughter of an influential middle-class loyalist Saiyan family on the planet Zoon, was a fierce warrior. A firm, unyielding, resolute and brash young woman, the female was an accomplished fighter and martial artist, well respected on her homeworld within the Saiyan Solar Empire.
At the time her family was well known for their intense loyalty to the ruling House of Blood River that governed the planet along with their hard-line stance on keeping the Saiyan bloodline as pure as possible. The over-eager daughter was expected to be the best by her father and determined to do her own family proud, Yamma would make a crucial decision in her young life to participate in an invitational tournament to be staged on Earth and open to all species during her mid-twenties.
Hoping that her possible victory in such a reputable tournament would further cement her family’s position without equal in the eyes of the ruling house, as well as to impress her growth and skill unto her father, the proud Saiyan was as equally determined to take part in the tournament as she was overconfident. Her father, however, had other ideas.
With his daughter the eldest of his five children, the old Saiyan had hoped to arrange a political union with his daughter to a rival family. Unifying the two families in hopes of securing their future status just on the outer edges of the ruling elite. Against his own wishes, Yamma secreted herself off to Earth, determined to prove to her father her own capability.
The tournament began much like she had dreamt. Winning the first few rounds in convincing fashion, the young and impressionable Yamma seemed to be on course to achieving exactly as she had wished. However, in the fourth round, the female would be paired against another Saiyan, this man from a rival clan to that of Yamma’s own. With so much at stake in such a fight, it was unthinkable that Yamma could lose.
And yet she did. Beaten so viciously by her opponent, the fight itself almost destroyed much of the arena in which it was staged. Broken, bloodied and bested, Yamma was in a critical life-threatening state having completely overexerted herself in the hopes of defeating her opponent. Taken to an infirmary and placed on life support, the woman fluttered in and out of consciousness.
Her injuries, however, were the least of her worries. Incensed by his daughter's reckless behaviour and enraged that her loss led his family to be considered as an embarrassment among the elite on the planet of Zoon, her father disowned his daughter, ostracising and cutting the Saiyan female off from all family members and forbidding her from ever returning to her home.
Stranded on a foreign world, knowing no one and surrounded by a race that she had been brought up to believe was inferior, it is during her recovery that she would meet the unsuspecting man that would become the centre of her existence.
Ichigo Komorebi was a struggling medical student that desperately wanted to become a doctor but settled for being an infirmary nurse. Compassionate, considerate, patient and persistent, Ichigo was on call when Yamma was brought in following her defeat. Helping to stabilise the woman, it was he that would try fruitlessly to convince her family to remain on Earth during the woman’s recovery.
Feeling partly responsible for being unable to prevent her family from leaving, Ichigo grew a soft spot for the stubborn and obnoxious patient, often looking in on her during the various stages of the woman’s rehabilitation.
Initially, Yamma found the man worthy of contempt and despised his happy face whenever she saw him. He was completely unlike any man she had ever met. And having always considered male humans to be unimpressive due to their often low and lazy power levels, considered Ichigo as unremarkable as any other Homosapien. Uncouth and aggressive, she would often berate the man.
And yet, somehow the annoying nurse found a way into her heart. Seeing through her bravado, unresponsive to her slander, unmoved by her aggression, Ichigo was a constant throughout Yamma’s recovery, often helping to assist during her rehabilitation even when he wasn’t needed. Slowly the woman’s ire for his presence thawed. Her distaste for humans softened. Confiding in him the misgivings of her situation, his honesty and empathy providing her with the first real friend she had made since arriving on Earth months before.
By the time Yamma had finished her full recovery, she and Ichigo had fallen in love. Deciding to stay on Earth with her new love, their coupling was unusual as one might expect of two lovers from different species. What was normal for one was surreal for the other, but such differences became inconsequential, and their bond and trust grew ever stronger until finally, Yamma fell pregnant with their first and only child.
The sudden shift in Yamma’s circumstances had a profound effect on her increasingly erratic psyche. Having never thought much of having a family, the dawning realisation that she herself would be a mother, no-less to a hybrid child on a foreign world deeply unsettled the young woman, ill-prepared for such a change.
Conflicted over the child’s place on Earth, and due to the situation with her own family remaining unresolved and lingering on her mind, the woman’s uneasy childhood fueled Yamma’s decision, to not only stay on Earth but to virtually remove any hint of her Saiyan nature. This state of warped mind was further twisted by the fear of reprisals from her own family and Species, deeming it necessary to sacrifice her old life for her new happiness.
The pregnancy was one of discomfort and ill-ease, hindered by the woman’s own delusions and suspicions. Having grown extremely protective of this small slice of happiness she had discovered on Earth with Ichigo and her unborn child, Yamma’s volatility became increasingly fitful. Though her partner did all he could to weather the storm, the female’s instinct and stubborn nature saw her carry out her desperate decision to remove her own tail.
To remove such an appendage and important part of her body had almost disastrous consequences for the young woman. Heavy blood loss not only caused serious difficulties for her own health but also destabilised the well-being of the unborn fetus growing within her womb. Returning home from work, Ichigo found his wife unconscious, covered in blood, her severed tail on the floor, and a gruesome carving knife limply held in her unresponsive hand.
Quickly Ichigo raced the female to a hospital, where medical professionals stabilised not only the mother but also the child. Yet the nightmarish event had a damning effect on Ichigo. Growing all the more concerned about his lover’s fragile state, and what she would do to the baby once the child was born. Deciding that to leave the city and live in the quieter surroundings of rural life, once Yamma was well enough to leave the hospital, the couple moved away from the city.
By the time the child was born on that typically long Wednesday afternoon, Yamma herself was like a new woman. Her dark hair coloured green, utilising coloured contact lenses, constantly suppressing her Ki, the scars of her tail now only a secret she shared with her lover. Known by the name of Kiui, it is the only name their child has ever known his mother as.
Goya was a tubby little baby, a tuft of dark brown lock of hair swirled on the top of his domed scalp, and big bright blues that constantly shone and always watching. A happy little boy that smiled whenever he saw his parents and didn’t always sleep when his parents hoped. Goya like the Wednesday he was born on, was as typical as most babies born on Earth get, except he like his Saiyan mother also had a tail.
The tail immediately caused disharmony between the two new parents. Kiui immediately expressed her desire to have the appendage removed safely by the doctors at birth. However, Ichigo having seen just how damaging the traumatic experience was for his lover feared causing a similar emotional and physical development in the child.
Adamant that Kiui not inflicts the same cruel pain on Goya, Ichigo is able to enforce his desire to keep the boy's tail, as the family began like many other families. Sleepless nights, lots of diapers and never enough hours in the day to sleep. Though they were as new to parenting as any parent is, both found comfort and happiness in the shape of a bouncy little boy, who was quickly developing his own character. Yet the topic of boy's small tail remained a strain between the pair, not least helped by Goya’s latent power level signifying the child as possibly gifted by human standards.
Unfortunately for Kiui, her fears regarding her family, and the possible loss of this happiness she was so desperate to keep, finally came true. By the time Goya had reached the age of three years old, his Grandfather had come to Earth intent on searching for his missing daughter. Adept at suppressing her Ki, the revelation of discovering that her father had not only arrived on the planet in search of her but had managed to find his way into her small village town threw Kiui into a hysterical panic.
Knowing her father as she did, she knew the grandfather to her child would never accept Goya. Her father was opinionated on many things, none more so than the threat of halflings to the pure Saiyan bloodline. Having for a long period harboured the view that halflings were the more substantial threat to the future of the Solar Empire, Kiui began to fear for the life of her infant son.
Kiui became certain that the only way to keep Goya safe and her place upon Earth was to once again sacrifice the lingering hints to her past that her son carried. Convinced that her father may have been drawn to the familiar aura of Goya’s Ki, Kiui returned home and committed the heinous act she had threatened to carry out since the child was born. She severed Goya’s tail.
The child wailed and screamed gruesomely like never before. Tears and blood stained his little body. Yet somehow her intentions as poorly judged as they were, achieved the intent she was hoping for. Hiding the child’s Ki, her father never came calling. Yet Ichigo's return from work would soon eclipse her worries regarding her father.
Broken at seeing his only child so savagely mutilated, the love Ichigo shared for Kiui fractured in an instant. The boy traumatised and refusing to go anywhere near his mother, deathly shrilling whenever the woman reached for the little boy, the damage Kiui had caused their son was almost unforgivable. Kiui vehemently protested her reasons for wanting to keep the child safe, and they by extension together, yet the man was unable to accept her callous decision.
Deciding they should split, Kiui leaves the family home, and Ichigo picks up the pieces of a once happy little boy now completely afraid of his own shadow. Goya’s initial development and progress took a huge step back. The loss of his small tail meant the child would have to learn how to walk, jump, climb and crawl all over again. The boy would often just want to lay on his tummy and not move at all, yet by the grace and patience of his father, the child’s inner spirit started to come back to the surface.
At such a crucial age, Goya becomes ever more dependent on his doting father, who begins to relinquish his own dream of becoming a doctor in order to focus on simply raising his own child. As those difficult months slowly become years, the father and son become inseparable.
With the sands of time moving onwards, the small fractured family finally begin to heal. Tentatively Ichigo and Kiui begin to spend time together, slowly rekindling their relationship, yet it is a long time before Ichigo trusts his partner to see their child. By the time Ichigo reaches his fifth birthday, he finally begins the long process of becoming resettled with his mother.
Bit by bit at first, slowly, allowing the child to feel at ease near his mother, Goya with his father at his side began to spend more time with his mother, as a family. Yet the damage that event two years before had inflicted on the child kept Goya’s affections at arm's length. He’d only ever cuddle with his father, if he hurt himself or needed aid, he would only reach for his father. Very much his Daddy’s boy, Kiui realised it would be a long time before her son would once again be her son.
Though Kiui doesn’t live with Ichigo and Goya during this period, the mother spends more of her time visiting her partner and child than not. Still keen to keep her small family hidden from her family, she is able to convince Ichigo to allow Goya to learn to suppress his Ki, much like she did. It is a small step towards rectifying the broken trust between the couple, but Ichigo seeing how desperate Kiui is to mend her relationship with her child agrees to let his partner train their son.
Goya’s first introduction to techniques begins around this time. Playing a game with his mother out in the vacant fields, away from his doting father and the prying eyes of the town’s villagers, his unusual mom would have him perform peculiar feats. They would talk and sit, focus and laugh all at the child’s own pace. Goya would practise running and jumping, and copy his mother’s odd dance. Though he is completely unaware of what these games are actually a very simple form of martial arts, the time he spends with Kiui starts to heal the rift that the boy has for his mother.
Continuing these exercises, Goya gently begins to hide and suppress his Ki to similar levels of any average boy his age. Introduced to his mother’s form of martial art, the elder woman begins to teach the child not only a technique to hide himself but also weaves tales telling of great warriors and lore that live in the fables and stories of centuries gone by. The story telling mesmerises the child’s imagination, filling him with wonder.
Raised by his parents as he was, Goya had believed himself a human Earthling. At Kiui’s request and with Ichigo’s blessing, the child learns nothing of his Saiyan heritage, knowing nothing of his mother’s mysterious past and the traumatic event of his tail being severed now begins to become a mere fragmented nightmarish memory. Not finding it unusual that his mother doesn’t live with him and his father, the boy’s childhood from there on becomes relatively normal.
He goes to school and plays with the local children. Becoming involved in the nearby boys club, he spends his free time playing soccer, baseball and going swimming, all the while continuing his training with his mother and learning more and more about the history of inspiring men and women which seems a distant memory from the quiet peace of the present.
By the time he reaches his teens, another big change sweeps the family up from the village and drops them back in a large sprawling city. Ichigo having finally finished his studies becomes a Doctor, achieving his life’s ambition with the unwavering support of Kiui who had begun to take on more responsibilities at the Komorebi home.
Having decided to accept a role as a medic within the Earth’s Military, the family moved to West Capitol, this time with Kiui finally living with her partner and son in the same family home. The trio lives in a small but comfy apartment in a high-rise overlooking the sea. Ichigo spending less time at home, and with Kiui beginning to take a more assertive and traditional Earthling mother role within the home provides the stable platform Goya needs to grow used to his new surroundings.
A new school and a new city seem overwhelming to the child at first, though he quickly settles and makes a few friends. None more important than the young Namekian boy at his new school, Lugs. Goya and Lugs soon become virtually inseparable. Both keen soccer players, they spend their time together riding bikes and playing video games.
It is at this point that Goya’s training had evolved from simple spiritual meditations and suppression techniques. His mother had begun training him in more demanding martial art forms. Always away from prying eyes, deep in the nearby Jungle. She curtailed his desire to overreach by tempering his training with wondrous stories and insightful teachings. Adjusting his mindset to be reflective and to not listen to his Saiyan instinctual aggression by focusing the child to utilise defensive techniques.
Having shown remarkable progress given his severed limb since Kiui had initially begun the boy’s training, the female finally sheds some light on fundamental martial art aspects such as Ki and differing Forms. She also purposefully begins to teach Goya in utilising his energy to provide a defensive barrier for his body. Further hindering any instinct to be too aggressive.
Goya was a typical boy on the cusp of adolescence. He had ideas of how the world worked, what his wishes for the future were and had questions that he needed answered. Still guarded around his mother, the youngster had begun to tentatively open up to Kiui thanks to the intriguing stories she had shared with him. Questions of Demons and the Super Saiyan that saved the Universe often keep the pair in conversation.
Yet still, the child was not capable of showing his dutiful mother the affection she perhaps deserved. Not able to call her Mom, he’d always refer to his mother by her name. Though they shared, Goya still remains uneasy being close to his mother. Though he’s not as certain as to why that is, this facet of his character also sees the young boy have difficulty being at ease and unguarded with any other female figure he meets.
During his teens, however, Goya’s life would become intrinsically more difficult as world events swept him up into despair.
Upon the year 2800, Goya excited about the upcoming world tournament begged his parents to see the important event. Kiui however, fearful of her son being around other Saiyans was adamant that the boy would not go. Seeing the tournament on the television was just as good for a boy as young as he. Ichigo meanwhile, being the father he was and wanting to give the child all he asked for, secretly got the youngster tickets to the event. Goya and his young Namekian friend Lugs would travel to the tournament.
Yet what should have been one of the best moments in the youngster’s life soon becomes the start of a harrowing nightmare. A spear wielding Demon fighter begins to toy with the crowd, taunting the spectators before taking out his aggression upon the citizens. As panic and fear grips the crowd, desperate to escape and trampling over anything to get away, Goya and Lugs barely manage to break away from the unfolding chaos only to be found by his mother who had come for the children as soon as she realised what Ichigo had done.
Returning home without a hair on his head being harmed, the disaster caused a searing rise in anti-alien sentiment on Earth. Goya’s friendship with Lugs was quickly put to the test as other children within their class soon began to turn against the small Namekian, vilifying him much in the same way their parents vilified the Great Apes that had rampaged just weeks before.
True to his nature, Goya protected Lugs from the would-be bullies, ending up in a fight with one particular child that resulted in Goya being hauled up to face his schools' principal. Informed that the school had contacted his mother, the young boy feared the punishment that would come down on him. Yet when Kiui arrived, his mother immediately leapt to her child’s defence.
Able to talk the principal down from expelling Goya, scolding the blubbering man for not doing enough to prevent racial hatred amongst the children, Goya got out of school with just a month’s worth of detentions.
The moment had a tremendously positive impact on Goya. Bonding with Kiui over his bravery in standing up for Lugs, seeing his mother tell his own principal off had the child grinning from ear to ear. Instead of being scolded, Kiui offered to treat the boy to ice cream as a reward for his actions. Conversely, much to her surprise, Goya asked to head off into the jungles to carry on his mother's training.
Overjoyed at how open her son had just become, hugging her in the manner he did upon exiting the principal’s office, a hug he'd never normally afforded her, Kiui was so moved she began to rethink everything she shared with her child. Namely the truth of his heritage, and the mystery regarding the scar on his lower back. Fearful that if she did she may push the child away when it seemed she was finally getting close to him once more and along with the worrisome political climate the world had plunged into, Kiui opted not to.
Returning to the jungles beyond West Capitol, the mother and son share what would be their last ever training session. It is at that point she shows the young child the Surahameha, an energy blast learned by every member of her family, passed down through the generations. Goya’s swept up in absolute excitement. Amazed at his mother’s ability, the boy can’t wait to learn the role for himself, yet before the female can truly deliver her lesson, a sudden attack force begins to be seen overhead, heading towards West Capitol.
The rise of the Blue Banner army takes the citizens of West Capitol and Earth’s Military by surprise, as a huge battle erupts in the skies above both Kiui and Goya. Able to discern the obvious ability of those above, the woman panics over what to do. Her husband was still in the city, with the military and if he was caught up in the conflict at all, then she feared losing him. Without thinking she ordered her son to hide in the dense jungle and wait for the battle to be ended as she takes off into the sky.
Goya, fraught with worry and fear at this sudden monstrous development and still gripped rush of adrenaline at seeing his mother be so purposeful and powerful, lingers in the thicket of trees watching the glow of light that his mother leaves in her wake as she takes to the skies. There he stands transfixed, watching his mother join the various fighters in protecting West Capitol unannounced, fighting for her husband and child’s safety, only to see her fall.
Witnessing the death of his mother, Goya shrilled in fury and anger, his body glowing in a red light before he charged off into the overgrowth of trees and wood in search of his Mom. As the day melts into night, his search continues with little to no success as the battle overhead finally comes to an end, with the Blue Banner emerging victorious. For hours he searches until the boy becomes exhausted and collapses.
Ichigo having realised that the military would fall to the Blue Banner had already fled his post as he went into the jungles in search of his wife and child. Using the only technique he had ever learned at Kiui’s insistence and under her mentorship, Ichigo senses Goya’s Ki and is able to locate the boy. Sweeping his child up into his arms, the boy wakes to tell his father the passing of Kiui.
With nothing to return to in the Capitol, and the world swiftly changing around him, Ichigo utilises a capsule car and takes his son away from the west, heading across continent and putting as much distance as he can between he and the Blue Banner. The two males end up taking shelter in a refugee camp set up many miles away. There they both assume false identities as Butsu and his son, Sunika.
Taking up a position as a camp medic, helping to treat the injuries and illnesses of the many refugees that had taken shelter within the camp, Butsu uses his work to take his mind off the death of his late partner. Unable to come to the terms of such a loss, the man begins searching for someone or something to blame for his loss and so starts aiding the resistance that begins to form against the Blue Banner by smuggling medical supplies to the beleaguered fighter group.
Meanwhile, as the maniacal Red Re-aligned Android began his rampage in the stars, Goya feeling cut off from his father for the first time in his life, and unable to process the confounding emotions of his mother’s death delves further into the intricacies of the teachings Kiui had imparted onto him. Hoping to replace the emptiness of her death with the lessons she had taught him, the young teen desperate to mimic his mother tries to complete her Surahameha training.
However, with such little understanding and knowledge of how the woman created such explosive energy, Goya soon becomes frustrated. Festering and feeling lost, his anger and fury quickly begin to fuel his volatile emotional state. Blinded by his rage, it is at that point that the young boy finally performs a technique similar to that of which he had witnessed his mother use.
The blast of energy was dirty and erratic, unclean and unpolished in every way. Vivid gold in colour, the energy sapped over his form, spat from his hand and tinged the fine hairs on the back of his neck as he pulsed the beam high into the sky, screaming at the heavens and stars that shone down on him. Though unstable, his new found weapon felt like the last lingering connection he had to a mother he had once spurned.
With both Komorebi males struggling to come to terms with the death of the Kiui, the two having been so close for so long begin to drift apart. Ichigo feeling responsible for the death of the mother becomes unable to carry the guilt of his role in his beloved Kiui’s demise. Goya meanwhile, having finally begun to understand and appreciate the unusual mother he had felt as if her departing had caused him to lose not just one parent but two.
An obvious shift in the boy’s psyche takes place, viewing the Blue Banner and those connected to the organisation as being the very reason for his mother’s death soon starts to harbour a strong resentment to the group.
Life at this point soon becomes one of constant struggle. The refuge becomes swamped with too many displaced men, women and children hoping to seek its sanctuary. As if forgotten by the greater populace, Goya is among those who have to scavenge daily for food, both for himself and his father. Living in squalid conditions, with little comforts and only memories of happier times, the period hardens the young Goya.
Upon the beginning of the Saiyan Invasion of Earth, this struggle only becomes more difficult. Uprooted from their dilapidated sanctuary, Ichigo takes Goya onto the road in hopes of finding a safer sanctuary. With the time spent together forcing the two males into a situation to confront their inability to reconnect since the death of Kiui, Ichigo finally begins to tell his son a hint of the truths surrounding his dead mother.
Informing the teen that Kiui had at one time been a great and respected fighter that fought in similar tournaments as the one Goya would sometimes watch on television, these snippets of information finally helped the child to begin to process the loss of mother. Yet while Ichigo answered as much as he could about Kiui, he forgoes telling his son the truth about her mysterious past out of respect for his dead lover.
Unfortunately, fate would again play another cruel card for the Komorebi. Inadvertently running into a military patrol that had set up a roadblock. Without any identification, and with the son’s unruly appearance possibly ousting him as a Saiyan at a time when hysteria regarding the species was at an all time high, the military officer arrested both Ichigo and Goya and placed them in a detention camp.
Eventually, Ichigo comes clean about his true identity to the men holding him in hopes of protecting Goya, by revealing himself as a former medic for the military. Immediately Ichigo is conscripted into the lines of the Military now subservient to the Blue Banner during the desperate time of war. Leaving Goya to be placed into an internment camp in the meanwhile to await processing.
Truly alone for the first time in his life, Goya takes his situation into his own hands. Utilising the vicious blast he had taught himself in the wake of his mother’s death to free himself from the camp, the teen takes a group of guards by surprise. Learning of his father’s heading, the teen steals a capsule motorcycle and takes off in search of his father.
Knowing that his father had been taken to North City where much of the heavier fighting had been taking place, Goya foolishly pursues his father. The journey north for the teen, however, is not so simple. Avoiding military patrols and more roadblocks, as well as the Saiyan invasion forces, Goya barely arrives at the shattered city, only to witness Super Saiyan Queen do combat with a group of fighters.
Once again watching helplessly as the city is smashed and pummelled into rubble, Goya locates not his father amidst the chaos but his old friend Lugs. There he learns of how Namekian had been treated by Goya’s father at a nearby military camp. Eager to head off after his father, the Namekian however finally confesses that Goya might not like what he finds there as the place was hit hard by the Saiyans which resulted in Lugs being stranded and forced to flee for his own life.
Refusing to listen to Lugs advice to stay away, the teen travels to the camp, only to find the place in utter ruins. With hundreds of bodies smashed and trampled, bloodied and broken, he finally finds his father among the dead. Outraged, the teen’s latent Saiyan aggression begins to finally take hold of his instincts. Blaming both the Solar Empire and the Blue Banner for the death of both his parents, the young teen's rage becomes uncontrollable as he lays waste to the site in fury.
With the retreat of the Saiyan Forces, Earth began the long road to recovery and rebuilding, yet being a displaced refugee of two wars, Goya slipped through the fingers of the very system put in place to help youngsters such as he. Resorting to stealing on the streets to sustain him and his close friend Lugs, the two teens eventually find work on a farm in the village Goya grew up in. Though the pay is little due to their circumstances and situation, it is enough for the pair to get by on.
In the wake of the Earth Kami’s demise, the political campaign to become Earth’s new Premier was well underway. Unable to stand aside and do nothing, Goya would often try to rally locals into supporting any of the candidates standing against the Blue Banner’s pet Android. Yet with the damning revelation of the elections being tampered and rigged, and for the Blue Banner to seize control in the chaos, Goya only became more disillusioned and angry.
Seeing the new leader as nothing more than a murderer and tyrant, Goya teeters on the edge of knife’s edge. Concluding that to be the end of these despicable characters that have virtually destroyed his life, he must become more than what he is currently the teen now almost an adult dreams of visiting revenge on those he deems responsible for the loss of his parents. As news of the re-emergence of the Ape Queen and the cybernetic former-Kami filters into the public consciousness, Goya continues his focus on the technique his mother taught him, forgetting the lessons of the stories she instilled upon him.
Currently only his trusted confidant and friend, Lugs, knows Sunika’s true identity of Goya Komorebi. Goya currently has no knowledge of his hybrid nature, or that his mother was a respected middle-class Saiyan.

Techniques:
Offensive
Raging Blast [N1]
Ki Beam/Blast that charges at 33% per turn. (IE: 33% > 66% > 99% > 132% > 165% )
An unstable, vicious beam blast of wave energy, that spits and flickers upon eruption so dangerously that it sometimes appears to engulf the user. Fiery gold in colour, the energy is shot via Goya’s right hand.
As a result of his inadequate and incomplete training, Goya’s inability to utilise the Surahameha technique his mother tried to teach him properly has resulted in a poorly executed blast similar in vein to that of the Angry Kamehameha. Drawing on a more carnal aggression, the hybrid struggles to consistently manipulate his Ki in order to fire the beam, and often needs to be in a volatile state of mind to effectively trigger the attack.
Energy Shield [N1]
Ki Barrier that charges at 33% per turn.
A glow of energy that engulfs Goya’s entire being in a shade of blood red.
The second complete technique that Goya learned from his mother, the hybrid is able to generate a glow of pure Ki energy around his physical form to protect himself from attacks. The colour of the light was initially blue when he learned the technique yet in recent months when drawing upon his Ki to manifest the technique, due to his unpredictable mindset, the glow has since shifted to a crimson tone.
