Salbo Karlel

**Salbo Karlel** is a player character in One Piece: The Aftermath, he is a pirate originating in the South Blue and is currently working with the **Double Down Pirates.** He is played by **Flame**.

## Appearance

**Salbo** is a fairly well built man from his time as a Gladiator, and to most people he looks like a rough and grizzled young man with brown hair and blue eyes, maybe appearing like a poor adventurer looking for work due to his roughed up equipment which includes a shield, longsword and greatsword, all of it normally covered beneath a roughed up cloak, but those who have seen him without his cloak or seen him draw his weapons shows a different story, large black wings are roughly attached to his back, these wings cast a large shadow and enable his flight.

## Personality

**Salbo** is very much a man formed by his trauma. his past experiences have shaped his ideals to those of a protector, fighting to protect others in spite of his own pain and possibly death he would and nearly has died to protect others.

Another part of his past that has affected his ideals is his hatred of slavery and gladiatorial fights, he wants to stop these things from happening so nobody has to go through what he has gone through, such as when he had his wings violently attached to his back as a sick experiment and during the surgery he wasn't even numbed or sedated, due to that he wants to mandate medical practices use them.

A part of his past that formed trauma in a different way, as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, causing him to compulsively check dark corners for possible threats to him or those he has selectively decided to trust.

## History

### Past:

**Salbo** has had everything but a nice childhood. as a young boy his parents sold him into slavery at a gladiatorial arena due to them being so poor. Following that he spent years being barley trained before being thrown head first into the arena, with nothing but a basic shield and sword as a boy the age of 9, by sheer luck he survived by the skin of his teeth, barley earning meals from his owners before he steeled himself to win his freedom. He won a dozen matches back to back all still by the skin of his teeth, this was enough to attract the attentions of some scientists who offered him a deal. They would give him 500,000 Belli to partake in an experiment about attaching the wings of a heavily genetically modified raven to his back and in theory they would work.

In shock of the money being offered to him he accepted, however as he was being prepped for surgery, they began. and he experienced sheer agony, the worst pain he had ever felt as they tore open his back and replaced a lot of his back with the necessary muscles for the wings, all without any pain medication.

After that surgery and he recovered the scientists ran numerous tests on him, before after the tests were ran they left him and threw him back into the arena. Entering the arena as he did made him a prime subject to be thrown up against some of the arenas strongest fighters. he defeated them all, before they pulled the old strongest champion out of his retirement, who then rapidly dispatched of **Salbo**, they assumed the chimera was dead and threw him into the pit with the rest of the fallen soldiers, but in reality he was alive, just in a coma, he woke up three days later buried in the mountain of corpses, which he then dug his way out of, fleeing the island and beginning his quest to end slavery for good
