The people of planet Earth in the Dragon World are identical to actual humans in the real world. Except for some uncommon hair and skin colors along with some odd features or statures, Earthlings are the same as real-life humans. Although not all Earthlings are like true-blue humans; there are intelligent anthropomorphic animals. These types of animals are considered part of human civilization.

Earthling characters are the ever heroic and vigilant defenders of their beloved planet Earth and are willing to protect her at all costs.

Earthling Lore

Personality

Adventure-seeking and daring Earthlings are by far the most ambitious species in the universe. Earthlings have personalities that mirror real-life humans, and they’re diverse in their characteristics. Earthlings tend to be much more neutral than other species, with most Earthlings leaning towards good; this allows them to adopt or assume another individual’s culture as their own. Despite this neutral-good outlook possessed by the majority, evil is still a very present threat, always lurking somewhere in the shadows.

Earthlings are considerably adaptable in combat and noted as being more skilled than most races at both learning ki control and creating techniques. They are typically perceived as weak but can take and deal much more damage than other species believe.

Physical Description

Earthlings can have a wide variety of height, weight, skin tone, hair, and even physical traits. Most Earthlings have a height of 4’5” to 6’5” and weigh anywhere from 120lbs to 300lb, but they tend to lean towards lower weights. Most Earthling males are heavier and larger than females due to the male fondness of contest, but this isn’t always the case.

Many Earthlings like to express themselves outwardly through art such as tattoos, flashy clothes, unusual hairstyles or piercings. They tend to be livelier than most races due to their short life span, only living roughly eighty to ninety years with only a rare few pushing to a century.

Society

The Earthlings’ society is diverse with different races, species and cultures all over the world. There is very little time to discriminate among the peoples of Earth since there is such a large diversity of Earthling species and races.

Generally, Earthlings are mostly separated into 3 categories:

Regular Earthlings, who resemble normal people and come in different shapes and sizes, they are the majority populace of the planet.

Occasionally there may be either an Earthling who lacks a nose and breathes through their skin or is born with a third eye, these are theorized to be descendants of ancient aliens who came down to Earth long ago and mingled with the people of Earth, but so far no clear evidence has been found to support these theories.

Beastman Earthlings, Earthlings who have either been exposed to Animorphaline or born as a Beastman. They look like anthropomorphic animals and tend to have the typical abilities of the animals they appear as.

Monster-type Earthlings, the smallest percentage of Earth’s population are “monsters” like Fangs the Vampire, Emperor Pilaf, and Bandages the Mummy: beings who resemble fictional monsters and have strange, inexplicable powers. Due to their fearsome appearance, many Monster-type Earthlings face undue discrimination out of fear.

Earth’s society is led by a king of nations, this king rules over all the planet’s forty-three sectors. These sectors have their own local governments that exist under the world monarchy, but aren’t considered monarchies themselves. The world is protected by a military called the King’s Guard which deals in matters of global threat. Despite this, the planet is typically peaceful, and the guard is rarely utilized since existential threats are dealt with by powerful unsung heroes.

Home World

Most Earthlings come from Earth, also identified as Planet 4032-Green-877 by the Frieza Force, a planet in the North Quadrant of Universe 7, under the direct jurisdiction of the North Kai who neutrally observes said quadrant in order to maintain order. 

The planet has many various biomes of deserts, forests, oceans, and rocky wastes. The planet seems to be much more rich in nutrients than its real world counterpart, as it is able to not only support humanity and its many technological advancements, but also species like the dinosaurs and giant fish. Also included are other intelligent, but less advanced, species such as the dinosaur-like Giras, and the rarely seen magical Neko Majin. Over the years, many extraterrestrial species have also come to join the universal melting pot that is Planet Earth; such as the Namekians and the Jigglers.

History

The history of Earthlings is bloody and violent, commonly plagued by war, conflict, and death. Earthlings lived in tribes spread across the planet, and after many ages, civilization began to grow and tribes came together to slowly form society as we know it. Many eons later, the evil Namekian named Piccolo attempted to take over the planet and killed a majority of the planet’s populace. He succeeded thanks to the world’s armies growing complacent due to the lack of war over the preceding years. However, thanks to a group of brave martial artists, led by Master Mutaito, Piccolo was sealed away in a rice cooker. Around this time, an unknown Earthling managed to collect all seven of Earth’s Dragon Balls and wish to become the king of all nations. This led to a large-scale global war that ended with a single, united world government being formed.

While Earth was getting back on its feet, two other groups vied for total world domination, The Red Ribbon Army and The Pilaf Gang. These groups would not, however, interact often; mostly due to Emperor Pilaf’s unwillingness to fight the superior might of the Red Ribbon Army. If it hadn’t been for the courage of a young Saiyan named Goku defeating both Emperor Pilaf and the Red Ribbon Army, the Earth might have been ruled by one of these paramilitary groups. However, lurking in the shadows, Piccolo had returned and resumed his plan of global domination. Despite his best efforts, he was thwarted once more, by the same young Saiyan.

After the defeat of Piccolo and the downfall of the 2 main factions vying for global domination, the world’s technology grew very quickly, entering a more advanced age thanks to the efforts of Dr. Briefs and the Capsule Corporation.

In age 840 Son Gohan, son of the unsung savior of the planet, wrote the book “Groundbreaking Science” which outlined Ki manipulation, martial arts, and many other topics which resulted in a boom in the mystic and martial arts, allowing the Earthlings to take a foothold as a young warrior race while also growing technologically.

Despite their quick development however, many races consider Earth “primitive” or “backwater” such as those who are members of the Galactic Patrol and Frieza Force.
