Namek was a jewel of the cosmos, and the pride of the Kais. It's people sought not to bully and slaughter those different from themselves, but to peaceful farm their lush world and study the mysteries of the mystical arts. Time and again throughout history, their wisdom and the power of the Dragon Balls was called on to resolve the universe's problems: a call that was always answered.

It was into this proud, quiet legacy that the Tabu was born. The young Namekian was a Dragon Clan member, and proud of it, working his hardest every day to master the lessons taught to him. He voraciously devoured every lesson and philosophical treatise given to him, quickly rising to a skill level far above his peers. While he tried his best to remain calm and centered like a true Namekian ought, a streak of pride was born in these early years that he never quite managed to suppress.

By the time he was fully grown, Tabu had been widely recognized as one of the most powerful Dragon Sages of his generation. A big part of this prestige was his sheer willingness to experiment with his innate magical gifts. Rather than relying on the tried-and-true abilities passed down to him, Tabu constantly experimented with how to use his gifts to their fullest extent. Even if that meant using magic for more....profane uses.

He was caught a few years later in his isolated island base, practicing combat magic of all things. The results were impressive to say the least, but Tabu's teachers were enraged. The Dragon Clan wasn't meant for combat: that was the Warrior Clan's domain! For a Dragon Clan member to use their gifts to fight: it was an insult to the great dragon.

For his part, Tabu had grown to recognize the.....overabundance of faith Namek had in outsiders. Through his deals with offworlders for texts and magical tones, he had seen how they looked at their planet with greed. A squadron of 15 or so warrior Nameks was plainly not enough to defend them: they needed something more substantial. The argument was said to last for several hours before Tabu finally gave himself up: recognizing the futility of trying to convince his teachers.

And so, when the Sayians fell from the skies, Tabu was imprisoned awaiting trial. He was forced to watch, helpless, as the Sayians rampaged across the planet and everything he knew and loved. It was only through the scattering of the Nameks across the unvierse that he was saved from his own death.


Having ended up on planet Earth, Tabu now bides his time in secret, gathering power and advancing his research so he can one day repay the Sayians in kind.....
