Primal Saiyans (プライマルサイヤ人 Puraimaru ''Saiya-jin) are a race of extraterrestrials in the fan-made series Dragon Ball Alteration. In the series, they're native to the Central Sector of the Alterverse, alongside their sister race the Superior Saiyans, both of which being offshoot evolutions from the Ancient Saiyans. While the Saiyans in the Northern Sector of Universe 7 were nearly killed of by Frieza, the Primal Saiyan's experienced their own hardships.
While mainly referred to as Primal Saiyans, they're actually a far further evolved race than even their modern counterparts. They've gained this name due to their appearance resembling more closely to that of ancestors than any other branch of Saiyans, however, in recent times they've begun calling themselves Eclipsed Saiyans.
Overview
Homeworld
Planet Rewdesh (惑星 ルデシュ, Wakusei Rudeshu), the Primal Saiyan homeworld is an extremely lush and fertile planet within the Central Sector of Universe 7. The planet has a natural gravity a hundred times heavier than their original planet, Planet Vegeta , making it a thousand times that of Earth's gravity. They crash landed on this planet after being separated from the rest of their race. Once arriving here the environment began influencing their biology and as the generation passed they slowly evolved into a what they are now.
Culture
Unlike Superior Saiyans, a Primal Saiyan's power level isn't measured as soon as they're born, instead waiting until they're older with most cases being around the ages of five to be measured. If their power level is up to a standard they're raised as warriors and become fighter candidates. If their power level remains low even after a certain amount of time has passed they are classed as civilians, however, a Saiyan can still strive for honor even then. One of the most import civilian occupations being a Kingsmith.
Since arriving on Planet Rewdesh, the concept of infiltration infants were abandoned.
Primal Saiyans naturally know how to fly, many working it out on their own without any amount of training. For Primal Saiyan's training is an extremely common practice, even among those that aren't warrior candidates. The desire to train is instinctual, an instinct put to good use through the protection of their planet; warding off any would be invaders.
Unlike Earthlings, they don't celebrate any yearly holidays, however, events such as ceremonies and rituals are held in high regard, the most important of these being the inauguration of the new Primal King which takes place after the death of the previous king.
Pride and honor are extremely important within their society, a Primal Saiyan's word being their bond, something that they'll stake their very lives on. As such a promise made is a promise kept, no matter how long it may take for them to complete it. Primal Saiyans also hold great respect for those that came before them, their ancestors holding an important roles within their society. This is due, in part, to the fact that the very energy around then, the energy that they use to fuel their transformation, are residual remnants of their ancestors power being channeled through them. It becoming customary to thank their ancestors with a small prayer every time they access their transformations.
Primal Saiyans have also been called "Moon-Bloods", however, this is said as more of an insult and was a slur coined by the Superior Saiyans.
Military Power
The Primal Saiyans are militaristic in nature, possessed a powerful military known as the Eclipsed Company, only equal to their counterparts, the Superior Saiyans. In order to enroll in the military, a Saiyan must be a fighter candidate and have graduate from the Akuseijō Academy or attained the Iwazaru transformation. Their military forces are divided up into seven official divisions. The main priority of the Primal Forces is the defense of their planet, primarily from the destructive forces of Seven Dragon Lords and their unholy creations the demi-dragon or more commonly known as Remnants.
1st Division
The 1st division is run primarily by the strongest warriors of the Royal Okoshi Bloodline with the King taking on the position as their General and Head General of all other divisions with the exception of the 'Zero Division'. The King is tasked with making all major strategic decision and is who all other Division Generals' report back to.
2nd Division
2nd Division, also known as Special Intelligence and Operations is in charge of information gathering and specialized in stealth missions. While highly skilled warriors their main objective isn't combat, but rather obtaining and securing information from off the battlefield. This division is integral as it greatly influences the decisions made by Head General. They remain in the back of the battlefield in order to gather important information to send back to the Council. Their second objective is to investigate those that may seek to oppose or organize against the military and put a stop to it.
3rd Division
3rd Division, also known as the Medical Corps. are in charge of healing the wounded and to carry out the deceased once they fall in battle. This division specializes in healing techniques and while not as powerful as other divisions they are known for their members possessing vast amounts reserves of Ki. Currently led by General Solan.
4th Division
4th Division, The Reserves have the most members in comparison to other divisions and is designed as mass reinforcement. Their warriors are designed as a "Jack of all Traits" kind of tactic. Currently led by the noble, General Kizuori Zakym.
5th Division
5th Division, known as Large Scale Operations are used when a large sources of Remnants are found, being dispatch to terminate with extreme aggression. Currently led by General Nozuta Ado.
6th Division
6th Division, known as The Offense Forces is divided into two separate categories, Ki Specialist and Physical Fighters. The first specializes in unique Ki manipulation and supply while the other specializes in physical attacks and martial arts. Currently led by the Royal Prince, General Cicer Okoshi.
7th Division
7th Division, also known as Countermeasures is designed and specialize in counteracting the effects of magic, which the Remnants' mainly use. This team is the first to be sent in alongside the 2nd Division when facing a new type of Dragon. Currently led by the War Maiden, General Sativa.
Zero Division
Zero Division, also known as the Legendary Division is an unofficial branch within the military and coined by other divisions as a strike force made up of a single member, the Primal Legend. Used to carry out missions directly from the Council of Aspects. These missions are mainly disconnected from the other divisions and aren't influenced by the King. Currently comprised by the Primal Legend, Lentil Veil.
Types
Standard
The standard variant of Primal Saiyans are the descendants of the Ancient Saiyan Kin Kabocha and there by and are known for their inability to access the Super Saiyan line of transformations, instead following their own evolution. These Saiyans have been called Moon Bloods, a term coined by the Superior Saiyans as an insult, referring to their reliance on the moon to activate their initial transformations.
Legendary
These Primal Saiyans are warriors chosen by the Kenshin to bear the title of Primal Legend. There never exists more than a single legend at a time as the Kenshin, which grants them this privilege, bonds with that warrior for life. The Primal Legend is able to access a unique transformation line unattainable by other Saiyan's and one that is so powerful that even when chosen as a Legend their power is sealed away via the Eight-Phase Lunar Seal.
History
New Homeworld
The Primal Saiyans originated from their homeworld of Planet Sadala, unfortunately, their homeworld was soon destroyed due to the Ancient Saiyan Battle between their ancestors and the Super Saiyan God Race. Due to this they were forced to search for another world to call their own. At some point in their journey, they were separated from the rest of their race, who were heading to a new world called Planet Plant. Unknown to them at the time this would lead to an evolution never seen before.
Eventually, after searching for years they ended up within the uncharted space of the Central Sector and landed on an unknown planet. Due to their low fuel and food supplies they were forced to land. Here they settled in and proclaimed it their new world, calling it New Planet Sadala. Unknown to them at the time, survivors of the Saiyan Super Saiyan God Race had already establishing their own settlement here. In no position to fight against them they entered into a peace treaty in which neither could interfere with the society of the other, however, it seemed war would soon brake out between there two subspecies once more as conflicts began to arise. The leaders of these two groups, not wanting to spill anymore Saiyan blood, made a drastic decision. Deciding that they could no longer harbor the same planet without war being constantly being on the horizon they set out to live on two separate planets within the that solar system, deciding that the best use for New Planet Sadala would be for trade rather than inhabitance.
Selecting from the planets within the solar systems' habitable zone they chose a large fertile planet with numerous moons, no longer finding it suitable to call it Planet Sadala they decided on called it Planet Rewdesh, the new homeworld of the Primal Saiyans.
Physiology
Physical Appearance
Primal Saiyans highly resemble their Modern Saiyan counterparts having black hair and dark eyes. As a subspecies of Saiyans they naturally grow stronger as they mature, becoming extremely well build and growing rather tall, taller on average than even their ancestors. They normally possess large mane-like hairstyles being wild and unruly, having parts of their hair hanging towards their back. Males easily grow facial hair starting at an early age and continuously grow unless properly groomed. Primal Saiyans possess the fastest and most wide ranged adaptability of pure blooded Saiyan's, being able to control the temperature of their bodies also helping in this regard, meaning that they can continue to survive in even the most extreme of environments which is important since their planet is known for having extreme season.
Tails
All Primal Saiyans are born with two black tails. Adult's can be seen with their tails swaying freely, a reflection of their culture as their tails are a sense of pride for them. Their tails possess immense gripping strength which is a trait common among all Saiyans with tails but even more so for them. Unlike other Saiyans, their tails don't suffer from heightened sensitivity, even as infants as they've evolved passed this weakness. Due their evolution and becoming so dependent on their tails if a Primal Saiyan were to lose them it would seriously disrupt their senses to the point that it becomes difficult to even stand.
Just like Modern Saiyans, the tail is the source of their true strength but this is especially true for Primal Saiyans who've evolved even further. The most unique ability of the Primal Saiyans isn't their ability to transform into an Oozaru but the evolution that comes after it. By being exposed to the Blutz Wave Radiation they undergo a transformation, but unlike Modern Saiyans when a Primal Saiyan regains control of themselves they evolve even further, attaining another transformation, the Iwazaru. If their tails are removed they'll drop out of their current transformation, making this their most vital area.
Despite tails being are their most vital area the regeneration of this appendage is extremely prominent as a Primal Saiyans body with taking the regrowth of the tail's as a top priority, slowing down the healing of other areas in order to regain the tails lost, the estimated recovery is within hours of losing the tail, making the window of vulnerability minimal. However, they've conceived a technique which allows them to grow temporary replacements through the usage of their Ki, while not as potent as their original tails they're able to at least access Mizaru.
Tail of Absorption
This tail, possesses the ability to absorb Blutz Waves Radiation through a special gland within. Once the Blutz Waves are absorbed the glands convert this into specialized Ki for the Saiyan to use, initiating the Oozaru transformation. For the majority of the populous this would be their right tail, however some, like with the case of Lentil Veil, are born with this being their left tail.
Tail of Compression
This tail, while also appearing like its counterpart possesses a unique gland, called the Z-Gland which is used to condense the Ki that the other tail has converted. This tail's ability remains dormant until a Primal Saiyan can regain control of their actions. This tail is responsible for the Iwazaru transformation and its subsequent variants, without it they're unable to access anything higher than Mizaru.
Z-Glands
Z-Glands are what allow a Primal Saiyan to access their transformations and by increasing the exposure to Blutz Waves the Z-Glands can become stronger over time akin to how a muscle works. Once the Primal Saiyan has strengthened Z-Glands and already the Iwazaru form they can evolve further, initiating another Oozaru transformation and subsequently another Iwazaru form. Primal Saiyan offspring will inherit the dual tail gene from their parents but not the strength of that tail, meaning that strength isn't inherited but is obtained through training.
Personality
Just like many Saiyan variants, Primal Saiyans possess an instinctual drive for battle and hunger for strength making them very competitive. They possess a keen fighting sense, which allows them to acquire power extremely quickly. Unlike Modern Saiyans, who are known for their arrogance, Primal Saiyans won't simply stand by as an enemy grows stronger and are likely to finish a battle as quickly as possible. Love for Primal Saiyans isn't commonly romanticized and is compared closer to an instinct rather than an emotion, yet, this isn't to be underestimated as the bonds of a Primal Saiyan is extremely powerful.
Primal Saiyans have been found to be rather sympathetic by nature but not to the extent that one would show mercy to those they deem unworthy. They possess a high sense of honor, extending to there comrades as they often find enjoyment in their comrades' accomplishments. This sense is so powerful that an entire squad was created to retrieve those fallen comrades from battle, no matter the condition of the body. Primal Saiyans have been shown to prefer death on two occasions, the shame of losing to a weaker foe and the betrayal of their core beliefs. Outside of this Primal Saiyans find death to be an privilege, falling in battle is the greatest level of honor a Saiyan can hope to have, it's their belief that only by dying gloriously are they worthy to stand alongside their ancestors.
Primal Saiyans possess a strict code that they enforce upon themselves and are taught as children at a young age. The first is a strong sense of morality, the ability to judge what is acceptable and what's isn't. The second is courage, to have the will to continue fighting even when the odds are stacked against you. The third is compassion, the ability to sympathize with their peers and understand that not everyone is equal. The fourth is respect, it is not given but rather earned, limited only in one's' actions. The fifth is loyalty, to their clan, their race, and their beliefs. The sixth is sincerity, to never go back on one's' word, it as a binding contract between the promiser and the promised. The final is self-control, the ability to control their action at all times, for without it they risk falling into corruption.
Energy Manipulation
Saiyans have a naturally high affinity to control the energy known as Ki, allowing them to generate very powerful energy blasts even at young ages. Any energy lost during battle is completely restored, and, in near all cases, multiplied, after a short time of resting. Primal Saiyans possess a different form of energy from their Modern Saiyan counterparts as their energy resembles Ki more akin to that of their ancestors the Ancient Saiyans. As warriors they use Ki in there day to day lives, even if this happens subconsciously. With training they better able to control this energy, and learn to utilizing it in unique way.
Since they've evolved to harness Blutz Wave Radiation these Saiyans are generally more adept in controlling Primal Ki rather than their innate Ki. While they may possess great power in their base form, their transformations are highly dependant on the use of Primal Ki, leading them to become more equipped to harness this energy as time goes on. This is a stark contrast to Superior Saiyans who are incapable of using Primal Ki and thus are completely reliant on their innate Ki. While these two branches of Saiyans pursue power differently it would be a fool's errand to place one above the over for this reason alone.
Flight
Due to their naturally high ability to control their energy, Saiyans possess the innate ability to fly at hypersonic speeds, with little, to no effort at all, despite the extremely powerful gravity of their home planet. Some even being able to fly as babies.
Strength
Primal Saiyans possess higher innate fighting power than Modern Saiyan's and due to their planet's higher gravity and training education are capable of destroying heavy metals with ease upon, even as infants. Even the civilian Saiyans are capable of feats far greater than those on once demonstrated on Planet Vegeta. These insane levels of strength are easily able to annihilate planets when they come of age, thus the need for control.
Through tough training, Saiyans are able to reach new levels of power and the more intense the training and fights they go through, the stronger they become. If a Primal Saiyan were to survive a near-death experience, then, when the body recuperates, the Saiyan would grows exponentially stronger than they were previously as their high body adaptability can compensate for the damage dealt, essentially evolving their power. Primal Saiyans seem to possess the greatest Zenkai boosts after recovering from heavy injuries, even more so than other Saiyan races, though this is counteracted by the unexplainable loss of their continuous Zenkai boost experienced throughout battle. Strength is an extremely important aspect of their society, especially for warriors who battle the Remnants on the front lines.
Speed and Agility
Primal Saiyans possess high-speed movement and are easily capable of moving beyond light-speed. Thanks to their training that some receive at the Akuseijō Academy their ability to move quickly is heightened even more. Transformations other than the Kikazaru can also increase this aspect.
Durability and Endurance
Saiyans possess enormous amounts of superhuman durability and are a remarkably resilient species who refuse to be broken physically and mentally. Even as children, Saiyans are easily capable of taking on bullets, explosions, or sharpened objects and come out relatively unharmed. Even while unconscious and in their base form, a Saiyan is capable of surviving atmospheric reentries with no negative effect on their bodies.
However, they are not invincible, and substantially powerful forces and enemies can overcome a Primal Saiyan's basic durability such as the Remnants. But even if they are hurt, Primal Saiyans not only also appear able to heal from injuries at a faster rate than normal beings, but also have an extremely high tolerance to physical pain, and will only succumb to injuries by experiencing a massively high amount of trauma. They also possess remarkable immune systems, making it almost impossible for them to become sick. If a Saiyan lets his guard down, no matter how powerful, this will cause the Saiyan to become vulnerable to surprise attacks.
Intelligence
Though not the most intellectual they are known to be very cunning in battle. Cunning is a trait that's very well respected in their society as it's a sign of a great leader. Being able to mimic techniques almost instantaneously can also be accounted for their intelligence. Even just hearing about how a technique is used is enough for a Primal Saiyan to understand the basics of the technique.
Primal Saiyans have often been known for their ability to forget something they don't find interesting to them while possessing a remarkable memory for the things they enjoy. This memory ability though is nothing in comparison to their Superior Saiyan counterpart. This ability is omnipresent, as it's around from even when they're newborns.
Appetite
Primal Saiyans are noted for having ravenous, and seemingly insatiable appetites, even for other Saiyan races. Due to their enormous strength and intense aura, the Saiyans' energy and nutritional intake requirements are a great deal higher than normal Saiyans. This heightened metabolism also benefits their physique, as, despite their gluttonous eating, it's much harder for Primal Saiyans to grain unwanted weight. This high metabolism can be costly since if they don't consume enough their power with diminish.
Aging, Lifespan, and Growth
Primal Saiyans live extremely long, possessing a life span of roughly seven hundred years while maintaining their health, performance, and appearance. In terms of physical development, a Primal Saiyan will hit full maturity at age 15-17, making them the fastest developing Saiyan race of any other. These Saiyan males can average out at heights of over seven feet tale while the females average out at six feet.
Reproduction
Primal Saiyans have evolved so exponentially that they can no longer mate with Saiyans of the Superior branch of Saiyan. Scientist believing that they both evolved too drastically different for their biology to possibly produce a viable offspring. While they can't mate with Superior Saiyans it's believed that they can mate with Modern Saiyans, Ancient Saiyans, and Humans but this has yet to be shown.
Primal Saiyans, culturally take procreation very seriously and will even pull warrior-class Saiyans off the battlefield just to help their mate during those times. This builds a bond no other Saiyans race has been able to replicate.
Family
Primal Saiyans take the idea of creating a family with the utmost importance, instilling their children with integral core beliefs. The only reason a Primal Saiyan wouldn't be there for the child's childhood would be due to the fighting in the war. Primal Saiyans will often mate with only one person becoming greatly connected with that person. The greatest example of familial bond is their respect for their ancestors.
Senses
Primal Saiyans have such incredible heightened senses, some that can even hinder them in battle if not consciously suppressed. Possessing incredible hearing akin to a Namekian it's no wonder these senses can get in the way of a battle. They also possess adept night vision as well as being able to slightly detect infrared and ultraviolet light.
Transformations
These transformations are exclusive to the Primal Saiyan lineage, and while many other classes of Saiyans may possess forms similar to these it would be important not to mistake these forms for another as the results could be disastrous.
Canon Forms
Kikazaru
Main Article: Kikazaru
By utilizing their tails a Primal Saiyan is able to access a unique branch of transformations, the first of these being Kikazaru; a great metamorphosis into a giant beast with tremendous power caused by looking at the moon, this trigger forces the Saiyan to grow incredibly in size as well as their strength while also drastically changing their appearance to that of an ape. In this state, a Saiyan will generally lose most if not all control of themselves, with their aggression reaching its peak, causing them to lost all rationality, relying more on their Primal Instinct. If they can learn to regain control while transformed they evolve further, attaining the Iwazaru transformation. Kikazaru, unlike it's Oozaru counter part possesses higher forms with even greater strength. Those being Ascended Kikazaru which possesses a multiplier of twenty and Transcended Kikazaru, which has an eighty times multiplier. If the tail's are removed in this form they lose is ability temporarily, however their healing factor compensates for this.
Mizaru
Main Article: Mizaru
This form allows the user to access incredible strength but without the full-body transformation of Iwazaru, instead harnessing only a portion of Primal Ki. Mizaru, as only a partial transformation, doesn't differ too drastically from the users base form. The only two clear differences to the Saiyan is their eyes and aura, both of which vary from user to user. In the case of the aura however, their ki will take on a darker outer layer while retaining the users' standard Ki color within as its dominant color. Since this form is derived from moderate Primal Ki usage the form doesn't bulk up in any significant manner but rather becoming more defined in appearance and fortitude. Their height may also increase but not by any significant margin.
Iwazaru
Main Article: Iwazaru
This form is the result of regaining control after transforming into a Kikazaru. Primal Saiyans will possess varieties of black fur and hair will increase in length dependent on the user. The eye color also varies from person to person but will always possess a black pupil in the center. This form condensed a primal Saiyan energy, making them 100-time stronger than they were in their base form. This form, like the Kikazaru before it has 2 additional known transformation after it. One being the Ascended Iwazaru form, which condenses there energy by 400 and the Transcendent Iwazaru form that possesses an astounding 6,400-times power condensation.
Shizaru
Main Article: Shizaru
This form is also gained after regaining control of their Kikazaru form. While this form holds the same initial multiplier as the normal Iwazaru form, the Shizaru form has the unique ability to control its absorption and condensation ability, making any further forms of this obsolete.
Fighting
Like all Saiyans, Primal Saiyans have an inborn need to fight. Most Saiyans will spend their lives training to become stronger so that they can prove themselves in the war, hoping to one day take the position of General. Primal Saiyans are frequently seen training and improving their fighting skills to keep up with each other's even if they aren't warrior-class. After battles, injured Saiyans are placed inside Medical Machines provided to them by their Superior Saiyan counterparts. The healed soldier can then immediately return to the battlefield.
Tail Fighting Styles
Zannini Nao
A fighting style in which their tails rap around their arms and used primarily for stronger physical attacks; Mainly used by Strength-Types and was first ever used by the first Primal Saiyan, Kin, who used this fighting style to overwhelm his opponents in combat.
Burittsutēru
A fighting style where the warriors tails are used as extra arms in order to deliver more attacks with a shorter amount of time and mainly used by Speed-Types. It's unknown who invented this fighting style but it's the most used throughout the entirety of the Primal Saiyan race.
Eisei Tēru
The warriors tails are used as miniature cannons in order to shoot highly condensed beams of energy from the ends; Mainly used by Energy-Types. This is an extremely difficult style to master as it requires one to both concentrates on combat but also gather energy within the tail, this style was devised by Gourrs, the son of Kin.
Protection
Primal Saiyans can often be seen wearing armor but not all are created on their home planet but instead on the Superior Saiyans home world, Ishfu. Primal Saiyans possess 3 different designs of armor for each ranking of the Saiyan based on their level of most powerful transformation.
Old Age Armor
This style of armor was more barbaric, being comprised primarily of the remains of dragons slaughtered before they understood what Remnants truly were. The skin, fur, scales and even bones of these dragons were reused as material to craft extremely resistant forms of protection. Additionally, this armor offered heightened resistance to Ki and Magic based attacks, making them vital in their war.
As years passed this form of armor became less common, giving way to more technological based armor, nicknamed New Age Armor.

Weapon
Unlike the armor, which is mainly manufactured by the Superior Saiyans, Primal Saiyans uses weapons crafter a unique black smith known as a Kingsmith. Like any other blacksmith in the universe, they can create an assortment of weapons of any variety. Yet unlike any other blacksmith, however, these weapons are made of a special metal called Absoralium. This rare metal, by itself, isn't particularly strong but possesses the unique ability to absorb Ki, gifting two special traits. One is the ability to gain the same durability from it's wielder and he second being the ability to only function properly for its wielder as its wielders Ki is infused into it, meaning that no one other than that true owner can ever hold the weapon. These weapons are called, Kodai. All generals are given these weapons during their Ceremony of Advancement and are required to have them at all times. While others can buy them, due the scarcity of the metal, only higher-ranking clans can afford this luxury.
Transportation
Teleportation Units
Primal Saiyans don't possess space-pods like their modern-day counterparts and instead use highly advanced teleportation units created and obtained from the Superior Saiyans through trading. Despite being highly sophisticated machinery it does have its limits in how many can be transported at a time. Another limitation being that individuals can only be transported between other teleportation units connected to the same network.
Scouting Ships
Small ships used to scout out unknown areas for potential danger, these are primarily use by the 2nd Division.
War Ships
Large battleships used to transport massive amounts of warrior to areas where Teleportation Units aren't stationed.
Healing
Primal Saiyans, having been natural-born warriors are known to be resilient. When being exposed to high levels of Blutz Waves Radiation a Primal Saiyan possesses the greatest healing factor out of all the Saiyan Races while possessing the weakest when not being exposed to Blutz Waves.
Evolution
After years of living on Planet Rewdesh, a genetic abnormality appeared in the existence of Kin. Kin, heir to the Kabocha Clan was born with two tails and is often referred to as the very first Primal Saiyan as well as being the first Legendary Kikazaru. All Primal Saiyans are descendants of Kin, as evident by their tails.
List of Primal Saiyans
Just like their counterparts, the Modern Saiyans, Primal Saiyans also bear names with vegetable puns. (This part is open for addition, you can add in any OC you wish to be considered a descendant of the Primal Lineage.)
