Pieter had just recently left his village, leaving a heartfelt farewell to family and friends that he knew he wouldn't see again for a good while. He had taken off eastward, from his homeland of Fukurou Forest, after the urges to find powerful and mighty beings, either man or beast, surfaced due to his father's heritage. Pieter wanted to prove to himself that he was truly mighty! His tribesman knew he was mighty enough, but his father showed him that there were much more powerful people out there! Thus, he would have to prove himself to be a true warrior, to make his ancestors proud, but not just them: He would prove to himself that he was truly mighty!
First things first, though, he would need to find the information leading to his mighty foes. Currently, that source of information would be to head to Ginger Town, the biggest town that he and his people visited and traded with. Surely they, an advanced society with technologies that made many of his people gawk in awe, would know what he would seek! He arrived on the outskirts of town from the air above, wondering where exactly to begin. He was at the southern borders of Ginger Town and he was not sure on what he would find in these lands, even if they neighbored his home.

Sanjuro Town had been on the outskirts of the Fortuneteller's Desert, by which Akio's travels had lead him. He had gone to the town in the hope of food and a good night's rest, and had by morning solved much of their woes, having removed the criminal element from the town and returning them to their lives. And, like a shadow in the night he had faded away, lifting into the air with the wind. It had been a good exercise, it had earned him some cash (he had wrested it from the fingers of the criminal gangs, to put it to better use) and he had done good in the process. But still, his heart knew he had purpose elsewhere, so he did not stay longer than he needed to.
Borne on the air currents, Akio had found himself hovering above a town several hours later. Perhaps here he would find something to put him on a truer path, something to make him realise where he had to go, what he had to go. And so the wanderer, for now, ceases to wander, descending from the sky.
His feet toc against the pavement of one of the streets, scarred blue boots slamming against concrete. A breathe of wind ruffles his spiked brown locks, as if bidding farewell, before the young half-saiyan begins to walk into town. He had flown in from the south, right?
He turned the corner, and BANG.
He had bumped right into Pieter Wolfbane, colliding head-on.
"Woah! Crap, I'm sorry, sir. I shoulda..." He stops talking, raising an eyebrow. The man had a thick brown tail, like an ape, growing from his back.
A cog turns in Akio's mind.
"Your father was a very peculiar man. Among his oddities was perhaps the greatest - he had a great, bushy tail growing from his back. Like an ape.
And, funny thing... you did too! But your father decided to remove it before he left..."
That'd had been when Akio was very young. Kini had saved the gory details of his father's true nature. But now he knew, 'saiyans' such as his father... and himself, were born with these extra appendages. Was this man of saiyan blood too?
Instantly, Akio raised his guard. In all this resulted in a slight, un-noticeable tensing of his muscles beneath his orange-blue gi uniform, but still.
"I'm guessing you're not from around here?"

A kid bumped into Pieter head on. Pieter fell backward on to the ground, not really sure on what just happened. He must've been too lost in thought or was distracted by some of the weird machinery in town that caused him to bump into the kid. The kid was apologetic, but then suddenly raised his guard up. Pieter stood back up and stated, "Ah, it's fine! I wasn't watching where I was going... Not really looking for a fight with anyone at the moment, kid. Before you go swinging and getting someone injured, lets just ease up now, alright?"
Pieter held out his hand, as he introduced himself, "I'm Pieter Wolfbane. I come from North of here, from one of the tribes this town trades with, as well as visits. You are?"

Akio couldn't help but smile. It would have taken some skill to notice the minimal tensing that the young warrior had taken. Still, being referred to as 'kid' was something that poked one of the wrong buttons. He was, after all, now the sole master of a legendary martial arts style - he was a 'kid' no more.
Still, he extended his hand - Pieter probably meant nothing by it. It interested Callahan that there were still tribes such as Wolfbane's in the world - what secrets and beliefs did they hold? He clasps the hybrid's hand, smiling politely.
"I'm...
A human. A saiyan. Son of a king of a blood-thirsty race. The master of the crane style. Lost and confused.
"Akio. Akio Callahan." He finishes lamely.

"Akio Callahan," Pieter asked, "That is an interesting name! Normally, when I met people in this town, they would introduce themselves with some article of clothing! I'm not sure what sort of parents would do that to their child, but I am not one to judge too much on the issue..."
Pieter stopped for a moment, as he dusted himself off from the fall. Afterwards, he continued speaking.
"So, Akio, what brings you to this town of Ginger? Food? Supplies? People?"

Akio smiles. Perhaps it had been that they'd run out of clothing names, but his mother had been called 'Kini', as in bikini. Perhaps he'd keep that to himself for now. "Yes, how peculiar... Wolfbane." He wondered if the tribal would pick up on his sarcasm.
He twists left and right, looking around. "The only thing that brought me here was the wind. I am a traveller, you see, though I have no destination for now... though there is a tournament in two weeks time."
He frowns. "I'm hoping it can yield some answers, or at least reveal a path."
He waves a hand, smiling. "What am I saying? I must be boring you. Why are you here?"

Akio provided a little joke, to which Pieter laughed a bit at it. He jested, "My tribe does tend to do the same as well, though it's more animal related with most!"
He listened to what brought Akio here: The wind. As a traveler, the wind tends to provide guidance to them, either leading them to death or to safe hands of life. Pieter had been told that it had been the Great Sky Serpeant, Cabaguil, that had beat its mighty wings providing either guidance to life or death to people on the road by the Elder. However, this deity was thought of as more of a word of advice for those who would one day travel. One day, the winds would lead you into the jaws of death, should you not be careful.
Pieter had been lost to thought, missing the information about a tournament, as well as Akio's search for answers or some direction to them. He only snapped back to reality when he was asked why he was here. Surely he mentioned this before, hadn't he? Perhaps not. Pieter had a habit of being lost in his train of thought.
He responded, just in case, "I'm looking to have a good challenge. One that would satiate my father's warrior blood in me... Hunts are good, but not exactly satisfying, especially when large creatures threaten tribute and have not the power to back it up to handle three hunters... Hah ha!"

"A challenge, as in a fight?" Akio smiles. The tribal did have the air of a fighter around him, and the young Crane could feel that Wolfbane held great power. The martial art's teacher also wondered who Pieter's father was. Going by his tail, and the description he gave...
Perhaps a saiyan?
"Why don't we stick together for now, Pieter? We could train together and head to the tournament." The young man offers, smiling politely.
It'd be good to finally have some company, and having someone this strong to train with would be good for both parties. Pieter did not yet know of Akio's saiyan heritage, and Akio was only guessing as to Pieter's, but if they started to travel together they could both learn about themselves, Akio about his origins, motivations and eventual destiny.
And the two could grow strong together, and allow their saiyan blood to breathe in casual combat.

"Of course! I am in search of a challenge that I will remember for the rest of my days," Pieter responded with a wide grin. Akio asked about partnering up a bit, to train for a tournament whilst smiling in politeness. This piqued Pieter's interest greatly! What sort of tournament was he talking about?
"A tournament, you say? What sort of tournament are we talking about here? Is it something held in town," Pieter asked in eagerness. While he had been in town a few times before, he hadn't exactly gotten used to the nature of the town. He'd most certainly take up the offer.

Akio grins. This was sounding more and more promising. "The tournament will be held in a city way to the south of here, in a few weeks. And it's a very special tournament - beings from other planets come to attend once every hundred years, to renew a contract made over nine hundred years ago, or so they say," the hybrid chortles. He wasn't so sure as to the legitimacy of the budokai's history, but the fights were sure to be interesting.
A thought. "Pieter, would you like a spar?"

Beings from other worlds? That got Pieter excited for this tournament in a mere instant! He had only just arrived in Ginger Town mere thirty minutes ago and, already, he learns of a tournament! One to satiate his need for battle! What's more, though it was one of the furthest things at the moment, he could possibly find rumors or maybe actual information about why the serpent from earlier in the year showed up and threatened them. Pieter was then asked a question, one that he was slightly expecting, but still took him by surprise.
"Pieter, would you like a spar?"
Pieter agreed with a nod and smile, telling him, "Most certainly! I do remember there being an open field near by that we can use and not be distracted!"

The young half-saiyan rubs the back of his head, the tail of his white bandana trailing past his hands as he ruffles his scruffy brown peaks. "Yeah, I guess we shouldn't really fight in the middle of town, huh?" he muses, looking about. The sidewalks were almost empty, and the roads were pretty quiet too, but nonetheless if the two started the bout in the middle of town it could attract unwanted attention - and they wouldn't be able to go all out, anyway. Not without the risk of collateral.
"Righto. I guess it's just outside of town?" the one whose saiyan name was Tsuyei asks, before turning south. That was the way he had flown in on, and if they flew for about thirty seconds they would probably find a suitable, quiet spot for a practice fight. And with that he ascends to the air in an invisible shimmer of chi, cocking his head behind him. "C'mon, then. And on the way you can tell me about that tail of yours."

Pieter agreed with the Akio about fighting in the middle of town, with Akio following suit behind him in the air. Pieter was asked about the tail that swished back and forth behind himself. The half-breed proceeded to explain that, not feeling the need to worry. He told Akio, "I am a son of a saiyan warrior and a half-saiyan, half-human mother. In me boils the blood of a warrior and a hunter. When I was born, I let out a mighty howl that scared many wolves that plagued my village. It was in this moment that I was given the name, 'Wolfbane.' Wolves feared my voice and it was also due to this that I became a warrior for my tribe. However, I am no stronger than my brother and sister, who hail different names... But that is for another time. Here we are!"
Pieter landed on the grassy field below them, which seemed yet to be cultivated by the near by farmlands. He placed his bag on the ground and looked behind him, to see if Akio was ready to begin. He rose his arms up, hands opened so that he could turn his partner's strength on him, should he proved mightier than apperaed.

Houri would head east from Bamboo Forest, traveling away from her tiny tree house and the Florian hamlet nearby, and head out west. She would travel for quite some time by foot until she entered Sanjuro Town's outskirts and saw two men standing in a field nearby. She watched as one of the men raised his hands up while other stood there before him. One had fine brown hair and an orange gi and the other had thick muscles and a long brown tail. He wore similar clothes to the man but was all together different with the number of tattoos she could see on his body. She made sure though not to step more than fifty feet towards them though cause she had no idea what kind of fight they were about to have.

"Well, thats a far better way to get a surname than to simply inherit a parent's!" Akio chuckles, wishing he had a cooler second name. "However, my first name, Akio, means 'hero' in my mother's native tongue, so there's that I suppose."
And Tsuyei Hiruen means... what, exactly?
Akio frowns, before shaking his head. Perhaps, if Pieter's father was alive, he would know something about it... if Pieter's father hadn't abandoned the son as Zasho I had done to Callahan.
"Tell me, would your father know much about recent saiyan politics? Hierarchy?" The hybrid asks, as his feet toc down onto the grass, blades of emerald life embracing his blue boots. He wondered if Pieter would be interested in why exactly Akio was himself interested in the saiyan race, but it didn't really concern the Koregutsu-borne. He wasn't deliberately with-holding the truth of his heritage from Pieter, but, as the tribesman had just said... that was for another time.
He senses someone nearby, a fairly powerful signature, but it didn't really concern him. "Don't embarrass yourself, Pieter. I think we have a viewer." I should probably start charging for this... The young half-saiyan grins. He was wondering if his partner was under-estimating his strength due to his slighter stature, but the Crane could use that to his advantage. He'd found that being nimble was more beneficial than out-right brute strength very recently.
He shifts to a defensive position, spreading his legs out wide and tucking one arm close to his chest. He points the other one out, bending his elbow slightly so he was ready to strike if necessary. "Let's go, pal!"
