U5264 Tuffles

## Brief Overview:

The Tuffles of Universe 5264 are for the most part, very similar to their canon Universe 7 counterparts (so, see Dragon Ball wiki for more info if necessary). Their homeworld is Planet Plant, fiercely protected after they won the generations long war against the Saiyans.

They're mostly named after fruits; the names being based off parts of fruit names, or how they sound (e.g. 'Andrin' is based off of 'tangerine').

## Biological Features:

They appear very similar to Humans/Earthlings. On average, they tend to be more muscular and shorter than humans (though some can be tall). Most pure-blooded Tuffles have horns of various lengths/shapes.

Tuffles are very resistant to illnesses/disease; most growing up without ever getting sick. They have longer lifespans than Humans, oft living into their 1000s (Planet Plant's time)/20,000s (Earth's time); a year on their homeworld Planet Plant is equal to roughly 20 Earth years. In the time a Human ages 40 years, a Tuffles ages 2.

(^^^ based off the 'Pandora's Box' myth... what would humans be like if they never got sick, or had the 'seven deadly sins')

They're known throughout much of U5264 for their intelligence and advanced technology. As a whole, they typically prefer pacifism, and try to prevent war between them and other civilizations. They usually colonize other planets, previously inhabited or not, specifically for scientific research purposes (though they do sometimes fool around with other civilizations they deem less advanced than them - e.g. ending up being worshiped as Egyptian/Greek gods). They also have great prowess in genetic manipulation and cloning technology; in some cases being able to transfer their consciousnesses to new bodies.

### Formation:

(for more info, see Dragon Ball wiki)

With practice, some Tuffles are able to utilize a transformation technique known as 'Formation'. The transformation changes their skin colour to teal. Their power is usually doubled or tripled by this transformation, and the power is derived from their strongest emotion. If it's a more negative emotion, their power becomes more unstable (they may go mad/uncontrollable of their own actions/unable to think straight). Whatever outfit their wearing at the time of their transformation, will be changed into formal Victorian-era like attire (poofy dress, or tuxedo), made from bright coloured energy constructs. So, very similar to Lanterns (DC Comics). In Formation, Tuffles can fire sort of laser cannons from their palms, fingers, and eyes. The energy that forms their Formation outfit and laser blasts is coloured based on the emotion that powers their transformation (e.g. red = anger, orange = happiness, yellow = hope, green = envy, blue = sadness, purple = pride, pink = love).

### Tuffle Parasites:

Tuffle Parasites are descended from Tuffle clones initially intended as biological weapons against the Saiyans. They reproduce by implanting their parasitic offspring into other beings. The young Tuffle Parasites live within their host, which they control, until they are old enough (about 4 Planet Plant years) to survive on their own. Once they no longer have need of their host, they break free from the inside of the host's body - hence killing the host. When not inside a host, Tuffle Parasites typically have light coloured hair, red markings above their eyes, and grey/blue sclera. They do not have the same transformations as normal Tuffles; instead they must utilize the transformation abilities of their hosts (which they keep, even after breaking free of their hosts).

## Known History:

Having to coexist in the same solar system with Saiyans, this has led to many tense meetings since the two civilizations first developed their own space travel technology. The Tuffles had been the first to develop far reaching telescopes and send artificial intelligence into space to collect data, soon finding out a neighbouring planet (unknown if it's the Saiyans' actual homeplanet or not) already had artificial satellites armed with defense systems. Near a century later, began the first inter-planet war between the two. The Saiyans had taken notice of the Tuffle's advanced technology and wanted to take it for themselves.

Much much later, the Tuffles were able to coerce the Saiyans into negotiating a peace treaty. Over time, Saiyans were allowed to set up their own colonies on Planet Plant alongside the Tuffles. A noteable event in their peaceful history was marked when a team of Tuffle and Saiyan scientists had succeeded in inventing scouters (power scaling sensors - see Dragon Ball wiki for more info).

It is mostly unknown what exactly led to the peace treaty being broken, but eventually war broke out once more between the two. The warring continues on and off over the centuries with losses and wins on both sides. Tuffle Parasites (see Dragon Ball wiki for more info) were a bioweapon, Tuffle clones with the ability to spawn parasitic offspring in other species in order to control them. This gave the Tuffles a significant advantage over the Saiyans, especially in terms of espionage.

Sometime before 3100 BC on Earth, a Tuffle ship crashlands in the deserts of Egypt. They lose hope when they realize they can't find the materials and technology necessary to rebuild their ship. The small group of survivors live out their days on Earth, some starting families, some becoming hermits in the far corners of the planet. Most met and interacted with Humans; some even helping them evolve their technology. A few Tuffle families eventually were worshiped by the Earthlings - there were the ones in Greece/Rome, and Egypt, and a few other places.

A Kilkenni (alien race similar to cats - see Beerus on Dragon Ball wiki) space vessel came across an old distress beacon coming from Earth. They landed in Egypt, to search for its source. They eventually encountered the Tuffles being worshiped as deities there. After seeing how well they were treated by the Earthlings, the leader of the Kilkenni rescue team blew up their spaceship, forcing his team to live out their days on Earth as well (some of them known as deities like Bastet, Sekmet, Hathor, Ra, Fenrir, Anubis, Apedemak, etc.).

In modern times, the Tuffles are still recuperating after winning their latest war with their neighbours. On Earth, most of them no longer walk among the Earthlings as gods, but instead keep to themselves, or try to pass as regular Humans. There are a few individuals who act as superheroes of Earth, or are even part of the secret organization known as EPF (Earth Protection Force).
