Name: Lazurus Z. Caltus "Zalactus"
Age: 57
Bounty: 30,000,000 Belli
Species: Giant, Cyborg
Occupation: Captain
Allegiance: Pirate "Devourers"
Home Village/Ocean: Grandline
Appearance: Caltus is most noted for bearing a rather large appearance. His eyes have been replaced with Cybernetic enhancements and are now shaded red and black due to that now. It is as though he tends to draw away most of his appearance away from everything simply by using his cybernetic alterations as the drawing point of everything. His face is rather stern in terms of its appearance is rather stern in the center of everything, due to the wrinkles and such appearing over his face due to the amount of time and effort that he has placed over himself due to such as these years.
Caltus’s entire body is that of a cyborg now, his torso, arms, and legs are placed and fitted with basic mechanical parts which are fairly obvious in terms of their actual style and makeup. He tends to wear a combination of blue and purple with his entire cybernetic enhancements so that they can draw into the overall feel and development of everything. His fuel is oil primarily however, it can take in and use other things other than basic oil as its fuel source.
History: Calcutus is the only living survivor of an entire family of giants after an event known as the ‘Big Bang’ which caused for him to lose most of his body. It was as though he had no real weight or bearing with the world as a whole, yet shortly after the events themselves he was left unable to go on living or even being properly capable of fixing himself. He managed to come back from near death after having been saved by his former first mate who managed to heal him back and rebuild his body back into an original state.
However, that was roughly some years ago and he managed to get his body rebuilt using cybernetics. It caused for him to seriously grow more and more attached to himself, and it took him some time for him to honestly and truly get use to his body. As it stands now he needs to go out of his way to advance himself further and further in the world as a pirate so that he can get back at the government who was known for causing the attack itself. So, to get back at them he now goes about trying to recruit men and women who are willing to come to his side in revenge against the world government.
Personality: Calctus’s basic personality is that he has a brilliant yet cold persona. Always one to take up the high road when it comes to getting whatever suits him, yet taking the low road to avoid dealing with people. Despite his cold and empty appearance, Calactus seems to carry no ill will towards those who speak down on him. Being spoken down onto and being treated differently due to his physical appearance never seems to bother him. However, it does tend to give those around him an odd list of assumptions about his true thoughts. A blank canvas bearing no real emotion to it is how everyone sees him. Joy, Sorrow, and even confusion don’t really carry over well for Calactus due to his facial structure.
Ship: Herald Bringer – A simplistic large oversized ship fit to suit a giant with ease.
Ship Flag: A simple white star
Devil Fruit: Kage Kage no Mi
type: Paramecia
effect: The first and foremost strength of the fruit, is that its user is able to manifest shadows into a physical form. With this power, the user is able to grab hold of their victim's shadow. The Devil Fruit user also has full control on whether or not the shadows return to their original owners. Simply beating the user, or even killing them, will not return the shadows the user has stolen. The user must willfully say that a shadow should return to its master in order for it to be fully returned.
Special Abilities/Cybernetics :
Laser Beam- Mouth, Fingers, legs, and Torso
Advanced Energy Understanding- Calactus is capable of healing himself using his centered energy into or around him.
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
Doppelman (影法師 (ドッペルマン), Dopperuman): The name of the a dark silhouette like figure Calactus made using his own shadow. With this "shadow clone", Calactus can use it to fight in his stead. Its name is derived from doppelgänger. He can also switch places with it at will.
Brick Bat (欠片蝙蝠 (ブリックバット) Burikku Batto): Calactus transforms his "shadow clone", Doppelman, into a myriad of balls. These balls then turn into a swarm of bats that can attack an opponent. After being used, the bats can merge back together to reform Doppelman.
Kage Kakumei (影革命, Shadow Revolution): Calactus implants his shadow into a minion. With it inside, he is able to manipulate the shape of the minion's shadow. When the shadow's shape is changed, the minion's body will be changed too. Calactus is able to do this because of the general rule about shadows. It is common knowledge that a shadow will always comply with the body casting it. Because of that, the shadow and the body are always the same shape. By changing the shape of the body's shadow with Calactus’s powers, the body is forced to match the shape of the shadow. In effect, it's the reverse of a shadow changing shape to match with the body casting it because it is the body that is now transforming to match the shape of the shadow it is casting. It's basically the reverse of shadow puppetry.
Kagemusha (影武者, Shadow Warrior): A technique in which Calactus can swap places with Doppelman at any time, allowing Calactus to practice a form of teleportation of sorts, making it very hard to hit him. This technique's name comes from the term used in Japanese to refer to an impersonator.
Shadow's Asgard (影の集合地 (シャドーズ・アスガルド), Shadōzu Asugarudo): A technique in which Calactus empowers himself with the shadows he stole and implanted in his zombie minions. By spreading out his shadow from under his feet so that it can form into dozens of tendril-like appendages, he can pierce his zombie minions and suck the shadows out of them and absorb them into his body. With one thousand shadows implanted within himself, Calactus becomes a gigantic monstrosity. His body becomes bloated and several times bigger than average. His neck in particular becomes bloated to extreme proportions. This in particular resembles the way geckos puff up their throats when threatened.. Because of his body proportions in this form, Calactus walks on all fours like a lizard on its belly. In this form, Calactus is several times stronger due to the combined strengths of the shadows within him. Unless the user has an extreme amount of willpower, shadows may leak from the body when massively attacked and will return to their original owners.
Black Box (影箱 (ブラックボックス), Burakku Bokkusu): While in his form upgraded by Shadow's Asgard, Calactus turns his shadow, made even larger by his Shadow's Asgard colossal form, into several Brick Bats. He then has them transform and completely encase an opponent in a black box made out of solidified shadows. With his opponent encased in the box, Calactus is then capable of smashing the opponent with either his hands or feet.
Tsuno-Tokage (角刀影, Horn Blade Shadow) Gathering his shadow together, Calactus shoots out a large shadow spear at an opponent.
Levitation: Calactus can make himself float by having his own shadow lift him.
Life Return/Size Alteration: Using the power of Life Return Calactus can increase or decrease his size at will.
Kami-e (紙絵 Paper Drawing?) makes the users' body go limp in order to avoid any attacks, and float like a piece of paper.
The Shigan (指銃 Finger Gun?) is a close-quarter combat technique, in which the user pushes their finger into a certain target at a very high speed, leaving a wound similar to a bullet wound, making guns unnecessary.
The Soru (剃 Shave?) allows the users to moves at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds.
The Tekkai (鉄塊 Iron Mass?) hardens the users' muscles to the level of iron, in order to nullify damage taken from attacks.
The Rankyaku (嵐脚 Storm Leg?) is a powerful projectile technique, in which the users starts by kicking at very high speeds and strength, sending out a sharp "air blade" that can slice objects and greatly damage a human body.
Geppou (月歩 Moon Step?) allows the users to actually jump off the air itself, allowing them to stay in the air for much longer than usual.
Pulse: The user launches a devastating shock wave, from either of his heads.
Weapons/Items: take what you want from the approved weapons list but custom weapons must be registered and approved
Goals: Must have a goal, this can be something simple like "survive" or a bigger goal like "pirate king"
