CHARACTER Name: The Great Warrior Calgara Canon: One Piece Timeline: After the Knock Up Stream has carried Jaya into the Sky Islands, and the Skypieans are attacking the Shandorians for their land. If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: N/A
Personality: Calgara is a complex man despite his brief time we see him in the series, and a man of deeply passionate and powerful emotion. When we first come across him, he is driving a group of sailors from his island, slaughtering them and destroying their ship in a quite brutal manner. He comes off as nearly insane, demonic in strength, and massively bloodthirsty. It is this reputation among the sailors that has given him the dubious honor of being called the Demon of Shandora, Shandora being a massive city of gold that he is sworn to protect. But as we see him interact with his tribe, we find that he is greatly troubled by a plague that has been ravaging the crops and killing off his people in a slow, steady fashion. He is devoted to his people and his deities, to the point that he will defend even the sacrifice of his own daughter if it will heal the island of what he feels is his god’s rage. We find later that he was deeply troubled by the fact that he had to order his daughter to take her own life, and will later shed great tears over his relief that she will be spared.
However, it is an outsider who is able to appeal to him, the explorer Montblanc Norland, and is able to break him of the fear of gods to see the disease for what it truly is. When he learns that his village can be saved by a simple vaccine, he goes as far as to break the sacred law and kill one of the gods of his people to save Norland, whom he realizes is his only hope. There, on the corpse of a massive snake, we see him weep for the first time, in the hope and relief that there was a way to save his precious village.
The two become unlikely friends, the explorer and the warrior, and learn much from one another. Such is Calgara’s new faith and loyalty in Norland that he shows him just what it is that he is bound to protect aside from his people, and shows him the ancient lost city of Shandora. A great city of gold built by his ancestors centuries before, but it was hardly the gold he was bound to protect. A great stone of history sat in the center, behind the great golden bell known as the ‘Fire of Shandora’, and that was what was far more important than any amount of gold. It was this bell that they rang to summon the spirits of their ancestors back to this island of Jaya, so that they will never be lost in the afterlife. Incidentally, it was also the tolling of this bell that brought Norland to this island in the middle of a great storm. The two exchange information, treasures both golden and not, and even the villagers note that Calgara never made friends save for this one man.
