Guva (The Forgotten)

"I alone have the fortitude, the unyielding will to bring our high culture to these worthless beings. To show them how to act, how not to rebel. And when they comprehend it, they will love me for it."

- Guva, talking to himself "Captain Banas. Conspiring, are we?"

- Guva, after finding that Banas was hiding Ledas "Spare me the theatrics, captain."

- Guva, ignoring Banas' lies "Brilliant deduction, shithead."

- Guva, after Banas notices the governor's plan for Ledas has backfired "This Saiyan gave your team quite a shellacking, I hear. I’m lucky to have you as my captain, Banas. Were you not as strong and smart as you were, he would have probably destroyed half the outpost before I could respond."

- Guva, congratulating Banas on besting Great Ape Ledas "I’m your governor; I can do what I please."

- Guva, showing Banas who's boss "Do you think this is a game? You are here for one purpose and one purpose only; to be my aid. I don’t give a fuck if you’ve found your long lost friend. As far as I’m concerned, as long as Banas lives, you stay. And you can’t run away; I have the entire Planet Trade Organization behind me to hunt you down if you do."

- Guva, denying Ledas' request to go visit Vegeta in Frieza's territory "The injustice of my position is positively aggravating."

- Guva, after Ledas threatens to kill him "Give us a good fight when he comes back. Strength and honor, Captain"

- Guva, counseling Banas before his fight with Ledas "It will happen today. I’ll be set free."

- Guva, hoping that Banas will be killed soon "I’ve grown bored of it all. The planet, the outpost, the constant, insanity inducing monotony. But, most of all Captain, I’ve grown bored of you. There’s no point in hiding from that any longer."

- Guva, finally revealing his plan to kill Banas "Kill him, Ledas! Kill him now!"

- Guva, pleading with Ledas to get rid of Banas once and for all "I won; you lost. That’s how it was last time; that’s how it’ll be this time."

- Guva, reminding Banas about their past fights "That’s it, Captain. You’re done."

- Guva, beating Banas for the final time "Don’t wait up."

- Guva, after the dying Banas said he would see the governor in another life "So, I leave my post for one day and this is how you repay me? I, your governor, let each and every one of you filthy animals live in peace on my planet. I fed you. I gave you shelter and protection. I alone saved you from certain annihilation. And this… this is the thanks I get? All of my soldiers dead and my city in shambles?!"

- Guva, seeing what the natives did to his planet while he was gone "You must be one of the intellectuals of your race."

- Guva, meeting Dewberry "It’s been a while since I’ve been able to enjoy the relaxing scenery of such a temperate planet."

- Guva, after landing on Earth "I hope you have at least a class three medical tank for your friend over here. He seems rather oblivious to what I’m about to do to him."

- Guva, warning Goku about what he is about to do to Yamcha "I’ve known plants with higher power levels than you."

- Guva, mocking Yamcha's power level "Do you have no honor, no sense of the perfect tranquility of this duel? I only fight one at a time. That is the ultimate skill."

- Guva, ranting about having to fight two opponents at once "I’m not here to play games with every little maggot that crawls out of the ground. My quarry is a Saiyan, not a freak with three eyes! You want to die, that’s your problem. Leave me out of it…"

- Guva, meeting Tien "Hahahahahaha. Do it. Come on, you spineless coward! Do it."

- Guva, goading Tien to kill him

Guva (グヷ, Guva) is a Faerin in Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten. He is featured in the second, third, fourth, and fifth sagas and is introduced in the chapter "To Cooler, With Love".

Appearance
Guva is a Faerin. He is medium height and about the same weight as Banas. His hair is short and pulled back; it is a stark white color. His skin is a deep purple color and his physique is very muscular. As Guva rarely fights, he does not usually wear anything besides a light blue elegant tunic. His armor, however, was ornate and it was a flurry of colors and symbols; all shades of purple and crimson. He also wears the skirt armor and heavy crimson gauntlets. Guva also has a dark cape that he wears. Guva is also left handed. Guva's scouter is yellow.

Personality
Guva is highly refined and elegant, much like Cooler is actually. But also like Cooler, he is very arrogant and elitist. He sees himself as "god's gift" to the world. But curiously, he doesn't like to get his hands dirty or fight often. He'd rather watch others fight. That's not to say he's weak or cowardly, he's just lazy. Indeed Guva is actually the strongest being on Planet Cooler 92.

Dragon Ball Z: The Forgotten
Guva was the governor of Planet Cooler 92. Guva's history with Banas was long and complicated. The two long ago were competing captains who fought in the trials for the governorship of Cooler's newest planet. After a long fought battle, through many tests and tribulations, Guva rose over Banas and won control. And, in a gesture of respect, Guva took Banas as his captain of the planet.

Lauto Saga
In the Lauto Saga after Ledas arrived, Guva formulated a plan to train the child to one day fight and kill Banas, fearing his captain was going to stage a coup d'état. Guva remained out of the spotlight for much of the saga, as he didn't go on any missions with the Plantains. He revealed that he wanted to bring culture to his planet's native species, perhaps so he could have an entire species bow down to him. This didn't seem to go anywhere, as Guva instead set up countless gladiator matches, pitting his soldiers against them, and thinning their population greatly.

After the rebel attack on his outpost, Guva suspended Banas over suspicions his captain was a rebel spy and promoted Lieme as temporary captain. These suspicions were misguided, but correct for him to assume at the time - as Banas hadn't reported an earlier meeting with the rebels until Guva pressed him about it. He later reported the incident to Cooler's High Council, and they requested to see Banas. Guva agreed with Banas that his former captain would likely be executed on suspicion of rebel involvement should he go, so he allowed Banas to take Ledas as a scapegoat. This affected Guva significantly because losing Ledas in such a way meant that he would no longer have any sort of protection against an uprising by The Plantains. However, he felt that should he not let Banas take Ledas, the Sobren would likely rebel that very moment. So he didn't have a choice.

Stomping Grounds Saga
Guva was first seen in the Stomping Grounds Saga twenty-one years after Ledas was sent to the Stomping Grounds. Cooler had called all of the governors to convene with him. In that meeting, Guva was made aware of Frieza's death. Soon after, he became aware of a Saiyan boy wreaking havoc on the Stomping Grounds. He volunteered to go rescue Digranite because of this. After finding the boy to be Ledas, he killed Digranite's bodyguards, Sika and Sarpack, and then helped Ledas fight off and kill Digranite.

Back on Planet Cooler 92, Guva instructed Ledas to get ready to kill Banas. However, after Banas and Ledas got into a fight of their own, Guva was able to sit back and watch the show. As Super Saiyan Ledas attacked the Plantains, he accidentally let it loose that Guva was the one telling him to do so. Banas, furious, attacked Guva, and the two battled. Guva was only able to stall Banas, as his power level was equal to his Captain's. Later, after killing the Plantains, Ledas attacked Banas, and supposedly killed him. Guva then told Ledas what he knew of where Vegeta was. All the information he told Ledas was given to him by Cooler before Cooler left for Earth, himself. Guva was then spared by Ledas, though perhaps because of Ledas' extreme desire to go find his friend instead of feeling grateful of Guva for telling him.

Months after Ledas had left, Guva was maintaining his installation quite well. He kept the natives under control and led and easy life. However, one day as he was lounging in front of his wall-window, the window suddenly shattered, and Guva was thrown to the ground. As he looked up to see who had attacked him, he noticed it was his former captain. Banas was back and very much alive.

Planet Earth Saga
Guva was attacked by Banas during the start of this saga. The two did not fight too hard, because of the damage their fight would do to the planet. After a short conversation, Guva was convinced by Banas to take their fight elsewhere. Little did he know that that somewhere would be Lauto's planet. When he arrived there, Guva fought Banas with everything he had. Even though the two aliens had equal power levels, Guva eventually prevailed, and killed Banas. As he sat down to rest afterwards, he was suddenly overcome by a dark mist.

Reunion Saga
The dark mist turned out to be The Benefactor. While Guva tried to fight off the alien, his tired state left him unable to do so. After a lengthy conversation where The Benefactor became aware of much, Guva was forced to take him to where Ledas was on Earth. Guva could not resist the monster's power, so he had to comply. Guva then briefly met with the New Red Ribbon Army in space before finding Earth. On Earth, he was immediately drawn to Vegeta, and from Vegeta's training grounds, he began to torch the countryside in order to bring all powers to him. This worked, though Guva was forced to fight several of the Z Fighters. While he dominated Yamcha and Chiaotzu, he was beaten by Tien. Before Tien could eliminate Guva however, The Benefactor appeared and threw a knife into his back, killing him. This was done because Guva accomplished all he was useful for. He drew out Ledas and the Z Fighters, so he was no longer of any use to The Benefactor.

Trivia

 * All of Cooler's soldiers' names are based on fruits. In Guva's case, this is the "guava".
 * Like with Banas, I also considered making Guva a girl in the first draft. Naturally this was discarded when Banas' idea was, as a female/male relationship for the two could easily be interpreted (and mistakenly so) as something more than it was.
 * Guva's use of "ヷ" instead of "ヴァ" is purely cosmetic, as it looks much neater. While both can be used to express the sound of "va" (and are both more linguistically accurate than "バ"), the use of dakuten with katakana wa is historically more accurate; though, it is less often seen in modern usage.
 * Guva is featured in the Raging Blast: DLC.
 * Guva's theme is Hurt.
