Haruhi Zenma, The Ape Messiah

Apes of Men

While their human-like appearance can fool you from a distance, their bulging muscles should dissuade any confusion. While their height can be as variable as humans, they are normally around 6 feet in stature. Their love for combat tailors their bodies to survive the roughest of conditions.

The true mark of a Saiyan is their long monkey like tails that can wrap twice-fold around their waists. Perhaps if one gets too close, they may even witness the their long canines, used to rip and tear into the massive quantities of food they need to fuel their protuberant mass.

Their skin can range from light pales to deep tans, but regardless of the tone, their hair is always a deep black, often spiked outwards.

Endless Wars for Nearly Endless Lives

Not much is truly known about Saiyans. Ancient and modern accounts of monkey tailed children claim that many mature in much greater speeds, while others claim they are delayed in their growth. In ancient times, the Ape Messiah claimed his people are young at the age of 80, living hundreds of years, but again, the validity of this is questionable

So rare in sight a Saiyan is, that one living Saiyan may give rise to rumors of dozens across the world. If a Saiyan lives long enough, they may meet a man, his children, his grandchildren, and so on, becoming a figure of legend in their common lives. This can fuel their prideful nature, believing themselves to be un-defeat-able, infinitely strong and extremely dexterous.

Boundless Potential

A Saiyans true strength comes from their tenacity and potential. In the face of unimaginable odds, their courage flares a golden glow, illuminating any fears that may plague them. Their is no challenge a Saiyan will flee from, and their courage, though at times may lead them rashness, is a sight to behold.

Many tell tales that Saiyans are harbingers are doom, exiling these tailed children to local forests, but there are those who see them as heroes in the making. "Raw potential", is a common phrase used to describe a young Saiyan.

While some Saiyan family lines do walk the world, the smallest bit of blood giving way to extreme power, not much is known of their origin. It is commonly believed that they hail from beyond the heavens, born among the stars, sent to train in our volatile world.

Moon Cursed

For a Saiyan, the price of unbridled power is it's violent essence. The moon has long occupied Saiyan worship, representing their greatest hopes, and deepest fears. They are often seen praying too it in early mornings and in late nights.

The true curse of a Saiyan is revealed only when they look upon a full moon, a blasphemous act in their small, but ancient culture. When their eyes meet her white light they are transformed into the beasts they are known to herald, great gorilla beasts, blind to all but their rage, and if ones mind is truly clear, the last desire that crossed through it.

it looked as if boulders had been smashed through roofs and windows, but I could see no such thing. The corn fields burned into a black blaze that seemed to cake the sky as far out as I could see. I walked along the paths I had since birth, the memories of my home flashing by, when the earth began to tremble. The rumbling turned from a simple shake to violent sway, knocking me to the ground, at the mercy of this tectonic onslaught. A roar that would have made lions into mice pierced the sky, allowing beams of moonlight to cut through the blanket of smog, illuminating the bestial countenance of a colossal ape, at least 50 feet in height. Blood seemed to strain it's hands, entrails hanging from it's massive finger nail. As the clouds seemed to pour back, It unleashed another cry to the sky, once again enlightening the grisly visage of the ravaged town, devoid of all life but the monster that took it. However, this time the smog recovered twice fold, and the beast again bellowed to the sky. For what seemed to be eons this continued, the thing's screeches become more and more frantic with every shout, and the cloud's onslaught of darkness doubling in size with every barrage, but eventually, even this demon had to bow in the face of natures unlimited stamina, and the light that ounce bathed us, vanished. I heard the ape growl and groan as it seemed to crash into a building, pain in it's breaths, as my eyes closed against my will, and I fell to sleep."Warriors and conquerors, Saiyan's have a reputation for devastation. Born from a planet of war they are the most violent of races, their long monkey-like tail marking their close heritage to beasts. Tales tell of them sending their offspring to other worlds shortly after birth, leaving them to either perish in the wilds, or obliterate the local life and claim it as new Sayian world, proving their worth. Some believe Saiyan children to be harbingers of doom, signalling the end of all things.
