Along with Goku, Radditz, and Nappa, Vegeta is one of the only Saiyajins to survive the destruction of their homeworld. He is extremely jealous of Goku's superior fighting ability, and actually helps him from time to time so that he still has someone to compete with. Vegeta craves nothing more then ultimate power until the very end of DBZ
Trunks:Trunks is the first child of Vegeta and Bulma. There are two Trunks in the DB universe; "Future Trunks" comes from a parallel universe 14 years in the future where evil androids rule the Earth.

"Chibi Trunks" is born a little before Future Trunks returns to his own time. He likes to hang out with Goten and they are very good friends. When he and Goten are together, he has a tendency to get them in trouble. Trunks is also sad that he does not have a brother like Goten does (Gohan).

He could have easily eliminated all life on the planet, but he fell into a ravine and hit his head when he was young. He afterwards fights for the side of good, as the brainwashing had been undone.

Gohan:Son of Goku, he is initially trained by Piccolo after the battle with Radditz. He looks up to Piccolo for being such a great fighter, and trys to immitate him by wearing similar clothes.

Gohan is the first Saiyajin to go SSJ2, but after the Cell saga he spends little time training and focuses on his studies.
Goten:Goten is the second son of Goku and Chi-Chi. He and Trunks spend most of their time together, and are very good friends. Goten exhibited high power when he went Super Saiyajin at the age of seven. He bears a very strong resemblance of Goku; and wears a miniture version of Goku's karate Gi. Goten is usually happy, but has a habit for throwing tantrums to get something he wants

Unfortunately, Bardock proves no match for the small purple villain, and is vaporized while attempting to stop Freeza's planet destroying energy ball. In his last moments of life he tells his son that it must be him who defeats Freeza, so that a he would die at a Saiyajin's hand

In order to divert suspicion, Brolli's father actually employs the help of Vegeta and the rest of the Z warriors to find the cause of all this chaos. Brolli's grudge against Goku reveals the plot however, and after the battle Brolli is thought to be destroyed. However, his hatred is strong enough to allow Brolli to come to Planet Earth in movie #10, where he is finally killed. But, Brolli makes a THIRD appearance when he is cloned in movie #11, and is transformed into a large gelataenous green blob
Krillin:Kuririn is the second most powerful human on Earth, although his abilities are still dwarfed by Goku and Gohan.
