Dragon Warrior[edit]
You are naturally gifted in ki, whether through your alien parentage or simply through talent. Regardless, once you heard about the 7 legendary Dragon Balls, incredibly powerful items capable of granting any wish, you set out to gain strength through martial arts, adventure, and ultimately search for said dragon balls, for reasons of your own. Perhaps you want to make a wish to become a king? Maybe a wish for infinite wishes? Do you perhaps want to live forever? Learn the ultimate skills? Whatever your wish and reasons for gathering the Dragon Balls, your quest is clear. Obtain all 7 to make a wish.
Skill Proficiencies: Pick two from Acrobatics, Athletics, Nature, Survival, Perception, Insight, and History
Tool Proficiencies: Cook's Utensils
Languages: One common language of your choice
Equipment: A set of traveler's clothes, a map of the world with the location of the 1d7 Star Dragon Ball, and a pouch containing 15 gold(Zeni).
Warrior Path[edit]
You are only as good as the party you decided to travel with, and have taken up a specialty to be good at whatever you need to be at in this dangerous world.

Feature: Dragon Ball Hunter[edit]
You may spend a week in a largely populated area (a town or city) and roll a d20. On an 18-20, you learn the location of another Dragon Ball, but be wary, it may be guarded.
Alternate Feature: Capsule Monster[edit]
You're overprepared, and seemingly have a capsule that when thrown, will release whatever item you may need for whatever the situation may call upon. But beware, you only have one of that capsule and will need to restock.
Suggested Characteristics[edit]
Dragon Warriors are varied by a lot, and ascribing any common traits to them beyond 'they hunt the Dragon Balls' is difficult.
