Dragonball: Maki

Hey, guys! What's up?
So, this is a short story that I'm writing, before I put out my main fanfic, Dragonball: Days of Future Past, as well as my fiction story, The Contexts. So, before we get started, I can say I was slightly inspired by Dragonball Online and the aesthetic of having different characters to fill the roles of Goku and his friends. However, this is a one-shot in a few chapters that details the idea of a main character named Maki. It's kind of like a shorter version of Dragonball that cuts to Maki as a teenager.
My goals for this story are to imagine Maki as a teenager, kind of like Goku around the time of the World Tournament. It would be interesting to see what direction it takes and sofar, this fic in this forum is a 'rough draft' of sorts. It's the proving ground for what I'll want to incorporate into the story, such as original, new characters. I could see concepts of Fusion and other things in later sagas of DBZ being retooled for this story, so you could see a fusion between Maki and another main character. I will say that Maki is like a more hotheaded version of Goku and yet, I also wanted to envision Goku as a new character in this story. I could see characters from before continuing to exist, like Master Roshi, Hercule, or someone else.
However, Maki may very well have the dilemma of Gohan, who has a lot of potential, but can't control all of it. It could be that his power is evidenced early on in the series, and I may have it so that the Red Ribbon Army, the Planet Trade Organization, and other fixtures are introduced soon enough.
I think that a good fan fic involving Dragonball is defined by its pacing, Therefore, I like sometimes to get right down to business with my story. So feel free to add critiques as the chapters become available. This is the rough draft to something that will likely be a future project, kind of like a pilot episode, so you can expect character names and characters might change. But I hope you enjoy! :)

Can't wait to read it. Original characters are great but be sure to consider it from the reader's perspective when describing the character and not fall into describing the character by relating them to Goku or else the reader might just interpret him as Goku.

Dude, Sora, thanks, man. I do not wish to embellish too much description of the characters' outfits, either, considering that it is a fictional story, after all. I mean, I do draw and have a DeviantArt account, but I write fictional stories with kind of a raw approach. I want to just let people imagine the story. Because of you, though, I may do a POV in that account.

All I'm saying is, you could see things you wouldn't expect. All I'm going to say is... All Namekians could be evil, this time around. The Red Ribbon Army could be a force for good... Or so it seems. I will say, though, Sora, that I do have a Bulma and Goku shipping crush, at this time. So, just keep your eyes out for those descriptions. ;)
