Months of time had passed since Piyano's new pilgrimage had began. For reasons known only to the elders of Piyano's sect of Guru's Clergy back on Namek, the man had been sent off world to study and train with a people not his own. A spiritual journey the elders had dubbed it, a quest that very few Namekian's had ever been a participant of in the past hundred years. So gifted with a small, old spacecraft and plenty of water to survive his travels Piyano bid his people farewell and began the eight month flight through space. On advice from his elders Piyano turned his thoughts and training inward during the long months. Mental acuity and preparation for conflict was as much a part of training as lifting heavy stones and sparring with opponents. Namekian legend long spoke of a member of his race who could train entirely within his mind, his mental arena and rigorous discipline enough to even raise his power level without so much as lifting a finger. Piyano knew better than to believe he himself could amass such a special technique for training, so instead the man mixed his mental studies with training focused on the control of his KI. Whether through levitation, or from circulating KI throughout different points in his body the Namekian trained during his travels. Rarely, if ever allowing himself to sit idlely by as he made the trek to a small blue planet called Earth.
One morning Piyano was awoken to a incessant beeping sound as his spacecraft neared the planet. Tilting his head to observe his decent upon the planet through his pods only window. Graced with a glorious view of the small planet Piyano had to fight tears from his eyes. After eight months in space any heavenly body could lift a persons spirits and hopes, yet Earth was more than just a expected stretching of his legs. Smaller by far than planet Namek Piyano had no difficulty seeing several different environments across the blue marble of a planet. Orange deserts and lush green jungles, slate gray and white masses that could only be sprawling metro centers and cities unlike anything upon his home world all lay bare for his eyes to see. Of especial interest to the man was the region far to the northern hemisphere, blanketed in a field of soft white. Piyano had never seen anything like it before, and so the man directed his craft to land in the northern lands. A mere ten miles from a large city which Piyano's ship named as North City.
Touching down in a empty expanse of white Piyano's large ears could hear the audible crunch as the white material gave way under the weight of his ship. Steam erupted from the spacecraft as machinery clicked into place and actuators pushed open the pods front entrance. With a sudden spring of his legs Piyano leaped from his ship and into the expanse of white. Landing with a soft 'puff' feet first Piyano was taken aback to learn the material was quite soft, if a bit chill to the touch. Luckily Namekian skin was thick and very resistant to extreme temperatures. Unhindered by the cold of the land Piyano felt something hard under the layer of white beneath his heels. Brushing aside the white with his palm Piyano discovered withered grass and hard soil. Whatever the soft blanket was that covered the land Piyano had discovered it was not comprised the earth itself.
Feeling moisture upon his hand Piyano watched as the white powder dissolved into water in his palm, deciding to drink the small pool he now held in his cupped hands Piyano was treated to a refreshingly cool delight. The melt was clean and tasty, especially since Piyano had been drinking from a tank on his spacecraft for months. Deciding he enjoyed the form of soft 'ice' that coated the northern parts of the planet the visitor knew he must travel Earth's surface much as he had planet Namek's, with the hopes that further natural wonders could be observed. Returning to his spacecraft Piyano reached within and drew forth his limited supplies and belongings. As much as Piyano would have loved to slowly enjoy the wonders of nature around him, his elders had sent him to this planet with purpose. Unsure as too that purpose himself Piyano was nothing is not faithful in his people, believing they would not send him astray. Slinging his supplies over his shoulder and closing up his spacecraft the Namekian turned toward the nearby North City and started to walk. "People of Earth, I hope you'll welcome me with open arms. The man said aloud as he stretched his legs and pressed forward, and walked into the first city of this strange new world.

This started as a open thread but its been two weeks. Figured I would just close it out and make it a solo instead.
Zeni please.
