well using all the info various sites have compiled i made this:
goku attends a high school and has a love interest in chi chi, gets picked on and is generally a social outcast. his granfather gohan trained goku in martial arts since he was a child and on gokus 18 birthday he gets a feast and the 4 star dragonball. then the demon king piccolo sends his minions to kill the old man and steal the ball, goku is sent reeling and meets with bulma a fellow dragonball possesor whom had it stolen by piccolo, goku as instruced by gohan ventures to find roshi who trains him for an upcoming encounter with piccolo and they run into yamcha who also aides their quest. they finally confront piccolo who reveals goku is a alien saiyan that is destined to aid him in conquring the world. they ultimately defeat piccolo but lose the dragonballs and realize their destiny, to endlessly venture for the balls together
unexplainable plot elements
-eclipse
-martial arts tournement
char explanations
-goku- retains his powerful abilities and apperently his hunger, perhaps antisociable near the beginning, not much else known
-piccolo- an amalgamation of daimao and majr apperently, with a connection to goku as his right hand man
-bulma- a bad girl with weapon expertise and driving prowess with scientific plans on the dragonballs and romantic relations with yamcha
-yamcha- a pretty boy nomad with an attitude... and a really cool truck
-roshi- an old man who appears a pathetic beggar but is actually a master of martial arts, very wise with "wry" twisted perhaps perverted sense of humor, and insightful mentor figure for goku
-chi chi- a girl whom suspects unusual talent in goku and perhaps has a hidden attraction to him
