Crystal Hearts DBZ_AU

Greetings from the depths of outer space! Thank you so much for taking interest in my DBZ AU/Fan Comic, Crystal Hearts! I hope it warms your heart and hugs your soul as it does to mine. <3

This is a beloved passion project of mine that dives into famous grey areas and what-ifs revolving around Frieza's race and Frieza's family backstory, taking place a few years before the events of the Saiyan Saga and altering the course of history to involve more emotional depth and healing to balance out the violence. The main protagonist, Cryst, is my DBZ Frieza Race OC. My nonprofit comic will also be posted on DeviantArt (@Aloragon) and possibly it's own website if I get around to making one. Much of this material is connected to Canon as close as possible, but that doesn't make it officially canon (as much as my headcanon screams for it to be lol). All rights to the show goes to its original makers/owners: Shueisha, Bird Studio, Toei Animation, Bandai Namco, Crunchyroll/VIZ Media, and of course, Akira Toriyama himself.

I unfortunately won't be able to publish the official comic panels for some time, as I'm going on a Mission for my Church starting July 22nd, 2026. I will return about 18 months afterwards with the story solidified in writing and concept ideas and wholesome vibes. ^w^

My Church Mission is around the corner! I will be unavailable to respond to comments and pings until 2028 starting the 22nd of this month!

I am so glad that you guys are enjoying what I post, I appreciate your amazing support and eagerness to see my work!

Chilled's character is barely explored at all and I personally adore his short king vibes to absolute bits. He seems like the type of man to be serious and bloodthirsty on the field, but when around his loved ones, he could be a goofy father who would do anything for his family, and I mean anything. Being a powerful space pirate has perks.

I believe the reason why he refused to run from Bardock, even after the so-called "Saiyan" was proving too much to handle, is because if he fled he would either disgrace his family or potentially invite the danger to their door, which is why he put everything he had on the line to the point that it killed him.

In this AU, Chilled is explored to have a secret soft side that only his family had the honor of experiencing. All other races, including Chilled's own army, saw only his cold-hearted exterior and tyrannical rule. He almost never spoke of his family in public (for the sake of their protection), and any who mentioned them in front of him were at risk of being blown up. It was only when Chilled knew he was a goner that he risked pleading to his soldiers to warn his family about the Super Saiyan threat.

Here is Chilled's wife, Queen Icicull! She is/was the last remaining female of Frieza's race, and she gave birth to King Cold himself. I designed her to look like Frieza's 3rd form because his first form looks akin to Chilled, his 2nd to Cold, so his 3rd had to be modeled after another family member! And the Queen Xenomorph look is freaking eye candy. Frieza and Cold also got their Mutant Genetics from Icicull, not Chilled.

Chilled and Icicull were madly in love with each other, their relationship was very Jessica and Roger Rabbit styled.

Here are their 7 beautiful children (yeah, full house, but when you are a family with the last surviving female of your race you do what you gotta do)!

Firstborn: Prince Glacior - Glacior is Lord Chilled's firstborn son, named after Chilled's father. Glacior is a loud and aggressive child willing to protect his family with his strength and tackles problems with his horns. He feels like he has a lot to live up to as firstborn, so he does everything in his power to impress his parents and earn his mighty name. However, Glacior has a secret soft side. He adores animals and children, but he feels embarrassed expressing it so he keeps his softness private. Secondborn: Prince Shard - The most intelligent of the siblings (as well as the father of Cryst), Shard prefers knowledge as power, and would rather study than spar. His brothers often teased him for being a nerd, but Shard rarely expressed irritability towards his siblings. He deeply loves his family and would do anything for them, but his curiosity leads him to "forbidden knowledge" of other races and their culture, planting seeds of empathy in the scientist's heart that causes him to silently grieve for their misfortune when his family benefits from their suffering. Thirdborn: Prince Glayz - A man who suffers from unforgiving insomnia, Glayz is constantly tired and needing naps throughout the day. He's a light sleeper, so it's a challenge sneaking up on him while he's dozing. He's almost always in a sour, prickly mood, but is calm and content when in a quiet place to rest. He's a decent fighter and will stay awake long enough to put a threat out of commission, but he normally needs backup to watch his back when exhaustion creeps up on him. Fourth/Fifthborn: The Twin Princes - Frosbit and Frosbur - The ultimate pranksters of the family, Frosbit and Frosbur always added some extra spice and flavor to "family outings" and around the home. Their endless supply of jokes and jabs kept the siblings on their toes, but all of the twin's devious deeds were done in good spirit. Frosbit is a big fan of food and drink, benefiting the family by seeking out the greatest tasting delicacies. Frosbur is a dirty fighter, always using underhanded tactics to gain the upper hand against opponents (the more severe cases against non-family members), and he often trash talks to throw off his company. Sixth Born: Prince Glitz - The drama queen of the family, Glitz knows how to throw his flair for the good of style and his family. He adores wealth and rarities, always seeking the prettiest of jewelry to decorate his collection and provide extra comfort to his parents/siblings. He has a bit of a hoarding problem and has trouble saying no to something he wants, and oftentimes his siblings joke about him being their family "Princess" due to how feminine and over-the-top his theatrics are. He also cries easily when moved by beauty, but unlike his other siblings, takes full pride in the diamonds that shed from his eyes. Seventh Born (Youngest): Cold

LET. ME. COOK. >:D

Guys, this Dragon Ball Z/Super fan idea is a HUGE favorite of mine, regarding the counterpart energy displayed between the well-known Universe 7 and its mysterious twin, Universe 6. We all know that Lord Frieza's "fake twin" is Lord Frost, aka the "lesser" of the two, except Frost deserves to have his own older sibling and long-lost cousin like Frieza! Aka, the Universe 6 Counterparts of Cooler and my OC, Cryst!

Meet Coolant (Frost's secret older sister and U6 counterpart of Cooler) and Crisp (Frost's long-lost cousin and U6 counterpart of Cryst)!!!

Coolant: Similar to Lord Cooler from Universe 7, Coolant is highly intelligent and has little tolerance for nonsense, cutting straight to the point in conversation and is not afraid to speak her mind. However, unlike Cooler, she has little taste for dominance and violence, preferring the quiet life as a librarian where books and knowledge are her main source of control. She hates the public spotlight, and her vision is pretty bad for her kind, so she needs special glasses to see fully. She can defend herself effectively (if need be), beautifully graceful and precise in movements and targeting the weak points of an opponent with sharp paralyzing jabs. She doesn't stoop down to dirty methods like her younger brother and is sometimes the one making antidotes for his poison.

- Frost and Coolant care deeply for each other, but unfortunately their chosen paths in life caused them to diverge, Frost pursuing a life of false glory and thievery while Coolant sticks to her books. Frost chooses to avoid his sister and not mention her existence for her own safety and protection, guilty that he's fallen so deep into the pit he dug for himself. Coolant feels guilty that she couldn't foresee the warning signs Frost was tripping over as they survived childhood together, having only each other to rely on in the arms of poverty. Frost got himself mixed with pirates to make ends meet for their struggles, Coolant believing he was doing good deeds because he framed it as such. In the events of the TOP in the anime, when his dirty deeds were revealed across the 6th universe, he ran even further away from his sister because he couldn't bear to see her reaction to his lies, nor could he drag his shadows into her peace.

Crisp: The Universe 6 counterpart of my OC, Cryst, Crisp is a wholesome young lad who senses the cravings of people's hearts rather than their emotions. Crisp is a chonky lad because he's a passionate cook and a passionate eater, his body pretty much stuffed with overflowing Ki reserves from all the food he prepares and eats. Crisp can even conjure meals on the spot similar to how Piccolo conjures clothes with magic, except Crisp only conjures food or cooking tools! Crisp is a little naiver than Cryst and believes anyone can be satisfied with a good meal, and he's not much of a warrior because of how little he participates in physical activity. Crisp has yet to reunite with his long-lost cousins, Frost and Coolant, as he too was sent away by their family due to some unforeseen political threat towards the royal heads, and Crisp was raised somewhere savory where his cooking potential could be honed to the highest degree. To this day, Crisp still cooks and fills the hearts and tummies of both friend and foe alike, blissfully oblivious to his royal status.

- The trio, Crisp/Frost/Coolant, are all royalty to an important family of their race, but something happened that forced their guardians to send the children away before they could be threatened. Frost and Coolant grew up orphans, Coolant turning to knowledge while Frost turned to piracy, Crisp meanwhile turning to culinary arts.

Cryst fell asleep in the Throne Room again. Foolish pure-hearted child...

Check out this mini art/comic rant I made to see how!

1) Night Bloom Most common type of flower on land, similar to aloe-vera because its juices have nutritious and soothing properties but its rock-disguised outer shell makes it difficult to spot in the open, especially during the day. Easier to spot when something has taken a bite out of it, but it simultaneously makes it a target due to its juices acting as a glowing beacon that screams "snack time" to everything nearby. Blooms only at night.

2) Night Tick Pesky pest that latches onto all sorts of creatures to drink their blood, painless when it bites but painful to remove. Mostly travels in hordes that can interlock with one another to create a centipede-like body to scare off predators, the head being the oldest and most experienced of the group. Can be eaten, but the prickles will need to be removed first.

3) Pumprock A fat fruit disguised as a boulder, and is equally as tough as one. Break one open to access the juicy soft flesh inside, tastes like dirt-bitter pumpkin and squash.

4) Night Echo Tricksters of the night that mimic the voices of prey to lure them into dangerous locations to be trapped, the bats descending upon the body to feast. Can sound like safety as well, mimicking familiar sounds that cause prey to lower their guard. Echoes always travel in groups.

5) Night Molder Slow-moving predator of the night that half-buries itself in the ground near water sources, the sticky/gooey tendrils on its back disguising themselves as bait/prey to lure in unsuspecting hungry victims. The goop is elastic and can suffocate air-breathers if their mouths are compromised. Molders can be eaten if defeated, particularly by turning them over and cracking their hard-shelled undersides. (Note: The longer-lived a lifeform is on this planet, as well as how long they survive, amplifies their magic-born abilities involving illusion and transformation, so for example a creature that survives 500 years under the planet's enchanted atmosphere has a lot more manipulative potential than one who lives just 100 years. The Night Molder lives over 500 years, but mainly its top half is affected by illusion magic while the lower evolved to be rigid armor).

6) Day Coiler A mild-mannered creature that isn't typically hostile, choosing to scavenge for eggs and hypnotizing predators with its shifting banded skin for self defense. (This one is seen in an episode slithering over an illusion that has reverted back to stone, implying that it's a real creature.)

7) Night Crusher Apex predators of Planet Trance. Giant monsters that stomp throughout the world and eat anything they can find. Most difficult to kill or hide from, recommended to run from them. Seek higher altitudes and wait till they leave, or, try to lure it into deep Night-Feeder infested waters so the tables can be turned on it. 8 - BONUS) "Night Feeder" Aka the Ammonite Monsters seen in the show that try to eat Gohan and Krillin. These feral creatures mainly live life in the water and have evolved to bypass the water's hallucinogen properties by resting during the day and eating during the night, their long tentacles acting as snares that trap prey getting too close to their territory. Because the waters are so heavily mixed with the magical particles of the atmosphere, drinking it directly will result in a paralyzed drunk state that will leave you vulnerable to being eaten.

Want a wholesome art challenge? Go watch DBZ and pick out a random nameless extra in the background (or severely underrated character that barely gets any screentime) and give them some love by drawing them, naming them, putting some lore to their character, etc.! In a way, you are giving them the respect they deserve for being a part of such an AMAZING Anime! I did something like this for a bunch of random Frieza Force Soldiers, which I'm gonna continue doing, for the sake of my upcoming AU/fan-comic, Crystal Hearts! Oh, and I added my OC, Cryst, into the mix because he will be interacting with these soldiers often. ^w^
