~Elizabeth D. Walker~

Name: Elizabeth D. Walker

Pronunciation: E-Liz-A-Beth D Walk-Er

Pirate Epithet: TBD

Nicknames: 'Cpt. D. Walker' 'Liz' 'D. Walker'

Age:18

Gender:Female

Sexuality: Bisexual

Species: Sound-Sound Human

PERSONA.
Character Strengths: Elizabeth is skilled in swordsmanship but not to any significant degree above the norm. Likewise, she has skills in the art of black powder weaponry, namely flintlock pistols but tends to use such weapons in close quarters where precision aim is more of a second thought or unnecessary. Elizabeth is far more comfortable and skilled however in the art of close combat, bare-handed, and this is to a notable degree in which she can even duke it out with foes twice her own size and strength. Her Devil Fruit has also blessed/cursed her with a skill for information gathering through the medium of sound, her hearing is at a level far above what any normal human could ever hope to achieve and she can hear all levels of sound even those outside the human spectrum.

Character Flaws: Elizabeth has no concept of monetary value and thus is always prone to being scammed and or scamming others. Her distaste for bitter foods can leave her in a terrible mood for hours on end. Elizabeth can often be found sleeping through the most turbulent of seas and or arising situations when off duty. Were she to be kidnapped or a cannon to fire aside her she likely wouldn't budge. Elizabeth despises admitting she is wrong. Probably worst of all Elizabeth is very carefree and easygoing, seeking out adventure wherever she goes seemingly ignorant of the ramifications or hazards that go along with such. With the stubbornness of a donkey as well as the temper of one Elizabeth is prone to clashing with those who provoke her and belittle her own dream and or any of those she holds dear, this includes those clearly far more powerful than herself.

Likes: Elizabeth enjoys adventure more than anything, the thrill of finding and experiencing something new is so addicting to the young captain and the main reason she set of on her adventure in the first place. Elizabeth also enjoys sharing stories with her friends as well as listening to them from one and all! A lover of sweet treats Elizabeth is very easy to bribe and even easier to distract. A fan of the previous two Pirate Kings Elizabeth is a huge fan of their legacy and is always elated to find someone willing to share such tales or even just an interest. Elizabeth enjoys partying and letting loose, she isn't a picky individual and is more than willing to party down with pretty much anyone. Kindness, Elizabeth values kindness above all else when it comes to traits, she herself is a kind person and she finds it truly wonderful when she can witness others being kind to one another.

Dislikes: Elizabeth is a heavy sleeper and when is stirred from her slumber by outside means, all hell breaks loose. Elizabeth despises slave trading and anything of the like, she is very seldom seen mad but witnessing such cruelty never fails to make her blood boil. Sour food, sour food is bound to leave Elizabeth in a sour mood for hours. Elizabeth dislikes having to control herself, by that I mean Elizabeth is a free soul and when she isn't allowed to go where she pleases or do as she pleases she can get quite restless. Elizabeth is a terrible cook, do not under any circumstances eat her cooking, however never say so to her face.

Hair Color: Red

Height: 5'7

Weight: 121lbs
Crew Crew Role: Captain

Aspirations & Dreams: To Become the King of the Pirates and go on the World's Greatest Adventure!
Gear: Elizabeth carries an unknown grade cutlass and flintlock pistol

Skills: Elizabeth is skilled in swordsmanship but not to any significant degree above the norm. Likewise, she has skills in the art of black powder weaponry, namely flintlock pistols but tends to use such weapons in close quarters where precision aim is more of a second thought or unnecessary. Elizabeth is far more comfortable and skilled however in the art of close combat, bare-handed, and this is to a notable degree in which she can even duke it out with foes twice her own size and strength. Her Devil Fruit has also blessed/cursed her with a skill for information gathering through the medium of sound, her hearing is at a level far above what any normal human could ever hope to achieve and she can hear all levels of sound even those outside the human spectrum.

Fighting Style:
Elizabeth's fighting style is that of blitzing her opponents. Fast and rapid strikes aimed to fall her foes before they can hope to fight back be it with her blade, gun or preferably her fists. To this end, Elizabeth has taken to using her devil fruit in a very simple but effective manner, by utilizing its energy form to move rapidly at the speed of sound. By taking to her energized form to essentially dash from spot to spot Elizabeth materialises almost immediately after to land her blows to devastating effect.

MOVE LIST

Furu Furu no Buckshot- By clapping her hands Elizabeth creates a short-range shotgun-like blast of sound that pushes back her foes dealing considerable damage to those within arms reach.

Furu Furu no Depth Charge- Landing a bare-handed blow to her foe Elizabeth allows the sound of her own heartbeat to pierce said opponent and detonate inside them. Like a second punch to the insides, this attack can be quite devastating when landed in the right locations.

Furu Furu no Blink- Transforming into her energy form Elizabeth moves at the speed of sound rematerialising at her target location.

Furu Furu no Pistol- Snapping her finger Elizabeth sends out a small but condensed bullet of sound that hits about as hard as a rubber bullet would.

Furu Furu no Screech- Screaming at the top of her lungs Elizabeth amplifies her scream to a level that is intolerable to those around her, breaching eardrums with ease and rendering those within arms reach deafened or even discombobulated.
Devil Fruit Name: Furu-Furu No Mi (The Sound Sound Fruit)

Type: Logia

Devil Fruit Strengths: The Furu-Furu No Mi is a Logia-type Devil fruit that turns its user into a sound human. The devil Fruit allows the user to generate and manipulate sound waves as well as to turn their physical form to and from sound waves at will. Like all Logia-type fruits, this grants the user an extreme advantage in battle against those without Haki or the knowledge of her specific fruits' weaknesses. When in her sound form (non-solid state) Elizabeth appears as though she is made up of white energy much like how Kizaru is depicted to be formed of yellow energy when in his own energy state.

Devil Fruit Weaknesses & Limitations: Sound must pass through a medium of some sort and thus is useless within a vacuum or against soundproofed/insulating materials. Likewise, surfaces that reflect sound also reflect her attacks and those that absorb or dampen sound function in much the same way. That being said the easiest way to combat her devil fruit is to employ the use of rubber. Armament Haki is also a weak point of all Logia fruits.
Origin Story: Elizabeth was born on a small Island in the East Blue and grew up hearing many a tale of the infamous Monkey D. Luffy. Afterall for those in the east plue the Infamous Pirate king was a symbol of true freedom and adventure, of kindness and charity, of strength and resolve. Yes, indeed the second Pirate King was a hero and no matter how the Marines or World Government felt about it or tried to spin it the people of East Blue would always remember him fondly. Elizabeth perhaps a lot more than most.

As an orphan, Elizabeth grew up under the care of her island and it's people. Being a relatively small island there was no orphanage and so Elizabeth grew up fending for herself and her survival. From a young age she grew accustomed to fighting as well as scavenging and by the time she had entered her early teens, the girl had become quite proficient with her fists as well as with handling combat against man and beast alike. That being said Elizabeth wasn't left to the wolves, no she was welcomed into the town with open arms any time she venture out of her forest home. She was given food, water, clothes, medical attention and even a basic education. However, being a kind soul Elizabeth found herself a burden and so spent most of her life making do with what she had or could find.

Growing up through her teens Elizabeth grew increasingly interested in both the previous pirate kings and her lust for adventure only grew in response to those stories. To be free, to roam as one pleased, to do as one wanted, to build a family of close friends and to share in those feelings when making landfall on a brand new adventure! Oh how romantic! How fantastic! How! How! How AMAZING! With her mind set on adventure Elizabeth began preparing a small raft for herself.

It took her a year and a half to finally set sail and when she did she never looked back. Her first stop was a small rock of an island with a coconut tree. Aiming to gather them as food Elizabeth accidentally manage to grab herself the sound-sound fruit and ate it without knowing. That was two years ago now and Elizabeth although green in terms of her abilities is ready to take on the world. "I'm going to be the next Pirate King! Just you wait and see!"

Sinny The Fool · Oct 6, 2022

Eval Knieval

Name: Eval (Later added his brother's name "Knieval" to his name.)

Pronunciation: Ee-Val Key-Knee-Val

Pirate Epithet: TBD

Nicknames
+ Val
+ Doofus

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Species: Human

PERSONA
Raised in the ways of the criminal underworld. Eval grew up in a nation ruled by four major crime families, where he and his older brother were forced to fend for themselves. Getting by as thieves and cheats until they were accepted into one of the crime families. Eval was a much different person when he was younger, before the death of his brother. He was small, weak, frail, ambitionless and constantly afraid. Certainly, he would not have survived his upbringing if it were not for his brother. However today Eval is much different and has become a young man of absolute conviction. Inheriting the legacy and dreams of his older brother, Eval has essentially shaped his current self after his own brother Knieval. Where he was once small and weak, he has now become (somewhat) tall and strong; where he was once frail & afraid he has now become tough & fearless. Most of all, where he once had no ambitions, he now carries the dream of Knieval as his own - keeping the torch of his brothers memory alight with his very being. Everything that Eval does, he does in the name and spirit of Knieval.

Character Strengths
Gold Hearted Miscreant: The typical thief with a heart of gold. He may have a bad habit, but he's far from a bad guy. He often steals from the more wealthy to spread it among the poor...It just so happens he is also poor. Eval likes wealth, gold and shiny things just as much as the next but is more about the thrill of obtaining it rather than the possession itself. He is the equivalent of a fisherman who puts the fish he catches back into the ocean instead of eating it.
Iron Willed: He can be stubborn, but perhaps because of that he is also extremely headstrong. When the going gets tough, he just pushes harder.
Ruffian's Grit: Eval is used to getting hurt, a lot. He has molded himself after many of those who have beaten him, and since his initial training, he's gotten a lot tougher.
Adapt to Survive: Eval has tried his hand a little bit at everything, and while he isn't especially proficient in any particular field. He can prove quite adaptable to ever-changing situations.
Crafty Tinkerer: Eval grew up around motors, the motorcycle variety in specific and he became quite good at pulling them apart & putting them back together again.
Fighter Wiles: He may suck at math but is efficient at employing combat stratagems. He has all the makings of a fine tactician, as long as he isn't dealing with large numbers.
Streetwise Bargainer: Eval knows his way around criminal society pretty well, and learned early that you have to bargain for every beli you can from anyone you can.
Dependable Nakama: Eval firmly believes in loyalty, and he sticks by those he calls friends no matter the cost or trouble it puts him in.
Character Flaws
Stubborn (to a fault): He can have a hard time taking advice or letting go of certain things. He has yet to learn the value of humility, and this not only brings him trouble but can also bring problems to all others involved.
Sticky Fingers: Old habits die hard, and Eval's thieving hands seem to have a mind of his own whenever he is around things that glimmer or shine!
Slow Learner: It has taken Eval quite some time to get to the point he's at now, and a lot of hard work but was never naturally gifted at anything related to combat. Being mostly known as a pip-squeak back where he grew up.
Habitually Rebellious: He is still so accustomed to his old rebel lifestyle that he oftentimes can't help but go against what he's been told for better or worse.
Inept around Women: Eval can have a seriously troublesome time trying to interact with the opposite gender, especially those he is not familiar with. He struggles to think and talk straight around women. (Like a certain chef, he also refuses to fight women not because he is too much of a gentleman but because he finds them scarier to confront)
Prone to Trouble & Injury: There was once a running joke that Eval was born unlucky, because of his uncanny ability to rain down trouble on himself. He's also quite clumsy and tends to hurt himself a lot this way.
Math Dud: 2+2=22. Eval was not educated by the best of teachers, but who needs math anyway!?! (He's overpaid people A LOT)
Boats, how do they work!?!: HOW CAN THEY FLOAT!? HOW I SAY!! HOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!!

Likes
+ Vagabonds, Thieves, Pirates and miscreants of any kind! As rough of a crowd as it may be, these are the type of people Evel feels most at home with.
+ He loves anything that runs on a motor: be it a bike, a ship or a goddamn toaster!
+ His favorite type of food: anything spicy! The spicier, the better! He doesn't even care if it sets his mouth on fire, he wants it.
+ Pulling stuff apart, he could have made for a pretty decent demolitionist if he hadn't already chosen a different path in life.
+ He is something of a Devil Fruit fanboy. He knows very little about them, but has encountered devil fruit users and was always awe-struck by their capabilities. He even began keeping a journal recording the devil fruits he has come across along with any limitations or weaknesses he could discover about them.
+ He has great respect for Shipwrights and their craft, primarily because he can't begin to fathom how they manage to make even the simplest boat.
Dislikes
- He has a stigma against those who come from wealth or what he'd consider "upper-class types". He especially can't stand those snot-nosed Celestial Dragons.
- Slavers. He has a history with a particular group of slavers, and from them, he learned all he needed to know to hate anyone and everyone in that line of work.
- He cannot comprehend how ships/boats work, and this often bothers him whenever he is forced to think about it. Which since becoming a pirate is quite a lot.
- Anyone who thinks they are cool, because Eval knows, that his brother was the coolest. The coolest there ever was, and the coolest there ever will be!!! BELIEVE IT!
- Those who take from the poor, Eval may be a thief. But he's a thief with standards. Eval only takes from the rich and wealthy, because that is ethical!

Eye Color: Hazel Brown
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Height: 5'10ft
Weight: 150lbs (60kg)

Eval has fashioned himself after his brother, not just with how he carries himself but also with how he presents himself. Adorning a getup that was reminiscent of what his older brother once wore when he was (Biker Club Name) President with an extra pair of 'special' shades modelled after his brother's own. While Eval typically wears goggles, he puts on his special shades whenever he plans on getting serious (like Zoro with his bandana type thing).

Eval was a pretty late bloomer, who only recently got his growth spurt. Two years ago, he was about half a foot shorter, roughly fifty pounds lighter and still held baby fat in his cheeks.
Crew
Half-Heart Pirates

Crew Role
First Mate

Aspirations & Dream
Aspirations/Goals | Become Strong. Expand Mechanical Knowledge, and help Elizabeth achieve her dream of becoming the next Pirate King.
Inherited Dream | To carry on his brother's legacy, Eval has inherited his dream of becoming a legendary pirate worth remembering.

Eval grew up admiring his brother and trying to become more like him. So just like Knieval, Eval grew up wanting to explore the world outside of Bosozoku Island just like he did, and he wanted to join Knieval on all his adventures along the journey to become a legendary pirate. Since Eval never got the chance to do that he has taken his brothers on as his own.

He acquired his first bounty during or not long after first meeting Elizabeth and joined her crew as First Mate of the Half-Heart Pirates.
Gear
Knieval's Blade (Unknown Grade): The Katana he carries is more for symbolic/sentimental reasons, he is not much of a proficient swordsman per se but does carry a katana on his person at all times. The blade once belonged to his brother, and his brother obtained it from the stranger who inspired Knieval's dreams to become a legendary pirate. The blade itself is usually long and curved for a katana. It was Knieval's primary weapon of choice when things got serious.

Eval's Golden Drill (Necklace): A gift from his pirate mentor D that was transformed into a weighted necklace through Eval's devil fruit ability. The drill 'pendent' attached to a steel-chain necklace is actually a miniaturized version of a golden-drill designed to be a fist-load weapon presumably used by one of D's former nakama. Originally weighing around 25lbs, it is much heavier than it appears. Eval often utilizes the drill as a medium for his Devil Fruit techniques, acting as the core to most if not all his metal constructs.
Skills
Daring Scrapper, Eval learned to fight from his brother Knieval who was a naturally talented brawler. Eval is nowhere near the natural talent his brother was, but since his training under D has become a more than competent brawler in his own right. The way he fights is very reminiscent of his brother, who never held anything back and did everything with a certain sense of flare. Like Knieval, Eval doesn't just fight strong but clever and has no real concept of what a 'fair fight' is. Anything and everything is on the table when it comes to the streets! Or seas...!
Mechanical Tinkerer, One of Eval's only innate talents. He always had a knack for pulling things apart and putting them back together again, and after spending most of his life growing up around motorcycles he's become quite the mechanic over time. However, his expertise primarily lies in tinkering with motorbikes and similar things specifically. He is no gunsmith or shipwright by any means.
Wily Tactician, while he may be a risktaker Eval has also proven himself to be quite the tactician in combat. He knows how to adapt to changing situations, using deceit, cunning, underhanded tactics, his surroundings and the intelligent application of his Devil Fruit to get the upper hand on his opposition. If he plans on getting into trouble, he often goes in well prepared, with the more prep-time he has the more effective he is (like batman!) but can also plan ahead on the fly as well.

Fighting Style
Raised by bikers, and trained by the one infamous pirate 'Cross-Bones' D. Eval has adopted both of the philosophies of his two greatest influences (his brother and his mentor), striking a natural resemblance to how his older brother once fought he's gone onto also incorporate the lessons taught by D and of course his own Devil Fruit into how he fights. While it is true that he carries his brother's sword with him, Eval is primarily a brawler/fist-fighter and feels most comfortable when engaging enemies at a close range. His real choice of weapon is actually the drill attached to his necklace, which is, in reality, a miniaturized version of a drill fist load weapon that was wielded by one of D's former nakama, therefore, most of his attacks often involve his fists. He does not use a whole lot, if any, kick attacks. To this end, Eval has become quite the gifted brawler over the last few years but is still not quite the same natural talent as his brother Knieval was. He can easily handle himself in backstreet brawls against drunkards, common thugs and what have you but against a trained martial artist he would struggle greatly in a battle of pure fisticuffs. Though what he lacks in proper techniques as a result of his devil fruit Eval has discovered a means of increasing the damage and impact of his physical attacks (Look to DF page for reference). Where his physical skills may fail him, Eval makes up for in mental capacity and adaptability. He can prove to be surprisingly tactically minded, possesses what seems to be a fairly high battle IQ, and is both competent as well as creative with the application of his devil fruit abilities.

Back to his fighting philosophy, Eval is like his brother in that he never holds anything back against his opponent (which they both view as a sign of respect), but has also adopted the principles taught to him by D. Which is that in a battle between pirates there are no rules, underhanded tactics or dirty tricks: anything & everything goes. So Eval has no real qualms about using deceitful means to get the better of his opponents. His only line in battle is involving those who do not belong, such as innocent bystanders or loved ones. He's also not really one for taking people hostage.
"Foji Foji No Mi" (Forge Forge Fruit), is a paramecia-type devil fruit that gives the user abilities similar to that of a forge, turning the user into a forge-human. The user is able to melt down and mold any type of metal they make physical contact with, and can also produce extreme scorching heat from their hands that can be incorporated into many different melee attacks. While he can decrease the size of metal objects, their mass & density remain the same (ie - his golden drill attached to his necklace has an original size as large as his forearm and weighs roughly 25lbs even as a necklace). Basically, the user becomes a walking, talking human forge and would typically be ideal for individuals with knowledge in sword or gunsmithing. In Eval's hands, the fruit has yet to reach its full potential, and there remain numerous facets of the Devil Fruit that elude him.

Type
Paramecia
Devil Fruit Strengths
+ Highly versatile: the fruit is capable of both decent defense and offense.
+ Great advantage against metal-based weapons with the exception of bullets (for now). He can make blades fold/bend around him at the moment of contact, assuming he sees this attack coming. It proves especially troublesome for swordfighters in particular.
+ His devil fruit works on any type of metal whether it be tin, steel, iron, bronze, silver, or gold.
Devil Fruit Weaknesses & Limitations
- Requires physical contact with a metal object, he cannot manipulate metal from afar.
- Cannot create constructs with higher volume than what he's making contact with. (He can change shape & size but not volume or density. He could stretch metal out, but that would also make it thinner and thus frailer in the process)
- The strength of his armor and weapons heavily depends on the type of metal he is using. Manipulating tin into armor would not be nearly as effective as steel or iron.
- Like a forge, he requires 'fuel' and 'heat'. Molding metals reduces stamina, and using his heat-based attacks uses a lot more stamina.
- Specialized Knowledge is required for more advanced/complex metal constructs. He could theoretically make a robot, but he'd actually have to know how to.
- Standard Devil Fruit Weaknesses (Haki & Seastone/Seawater)

Devil Fruit Move List
"Foji Foji No Mi: Shūshuku" (Forge Forge Fruit: Shrinkage) - Eval decreases the size of metal constructs he makes physical contact with. For example, his golden drill necklace was shrunken. While he can make metal constructs appear smaller, they do not lose their mass. There are also some other sub-techniques which also fall under this and they each follow the same rules.
'Kakuchō' (Expansion) - Eval expands the size of metal constructs he makes contact with, at the expense of overall density and strength. So turning a tin can into a hammer for example would be useless. However, it can be used as a pretty good intimidation tactic against those who are unaware of this fruit's capabilities.
'Rikyasuto' (Recast) - A reset through physical contact. Eval can return constructs back to their original size and shape.

"Foji Foji No Mi: Irubuken" (Forge Forge Fruit: Smolder Fist) - Smoke emits from Eval's hands as they begin to glow a bright fiery ember while the temperature of his hands becomes hot enough to melt down steel in a matter of seconds. This acts as the basis for most of his physical attacks and melee techniques.

"Foji Foji No Mi: Kusuburi Satsujin" (Forge Forge Fruit: Smoldering Murder) - Currently his only melee attack that specifically utilizes his 'smoldering hands'. Barefist or equipped with a fist weapon, Eval unleashes an almost samurai-like slow draw punch that occurs swiftly and if he made contact causes an explosion of heat to erupt on where he struck. Basically, it is a quick super punch with heat added on top. The beginning of this attack does, however, leave him open for a second before unleashing the strike as it takes quite a bit of build-up for Eval to move with that speed and force. The longer the charge up, the stronger the strike will be, otherwise, it will be all speed and little bite. Currently, it can only be used at a maximum range of about 3 meters (Roughly 9.8ft)

"Foji Foji No Mi: Buki - Doriru" (Forge Forge Fruit: Weapon - Drill) - Eval detaches the drill from his necklace, and returns it back to its original size. Turning back into a drill first-load weapon that is ideal for breaking through one's defenses.

"Foji Foji No Mi: Buki - Ken/Kens" (Forge Forge Fruit: Weapon - Fist/s/) - Typically using his drill as the core for this ability, he reshapes the drill either to fit around his arm like a giant fist blunt damage or splits the two apart for a pair of boxing mitts with fist indentations on the front. The one arm packs more damage but also puts off his balance (the weight making him lean to one side same as Doriru) whereas using two mits distributes that weight evenly on both arms, giving Eval his balance back at the expense of brute force.

"Foji Foji No Mi: Barikēdo" (Forge Forge Fruit: Barricade) - Eval molds metal into a barricade or shield depending on the volume of metal he is dealing with, and its functionality varies based on the density and type of metal used to create the barricade.

"Foji Foji No Mi: Meka" (Forge Forge Fruit: Mecha) - Eval molds metal into a large suit of metal armor which he effectively 'pilots' like a low-tech mech. The armor gives him an overall boost in his defense & offense. Since he is always in contact with the armor, he can also change the shape of his armor at a moment's notice (for example making metal spikes sticking out of his armor or turning his gauntlets into drill fists etc). As of right now, his movement is slightly impaired whenever he uses this. He is still fast, but his reflexes and reactions are not as quick as they would be.
Origin Story
Every Great Story...
Begins With A Great Tragedy...

May or may not make a longer and more IC version of the bio. Recounting things from Eval's pov. Otherwise, the generalized version of his origin story is below, and other parts of it have also been mentioned in other places on this sheet.

Generalized/Shorter Version
Eval and his older brother Knieval were both orphans who grew up in the Bosozoku Kingdom of the South Blue. A country governed by three crime families known together as the 'Triangle Troupe'. Heads of the underworld operations in South Blue, there are even rumors of them having entered into an agreement with the World Government who handed them a monopoly on the black market in South Blue. Asides from the Triangle Troupe and gangsters affiliated with them is their opposition in the form of rebel biker clubs which make their home in the desolate outskirt regions of the country but are a constant nuisance to the Kingdom itself. For the most part, the biker rebels were the original residents of the kingdom who were forced out once the Triangle Troupe moved in. Most of the people living inside the kingdom city itself are usually tourists seeking cheap entertainment or shady characters that work for or are looking to do dealings with the Triangle Troupe.

When they had nothing and nobody, Knieval was the one to look after and take care of Eval when he was hungry or cold. Often went on to suffer in silence so that his little brother could have some semblance of comfort, and the both of them were often forced to commit petty crimes just in order to survive. Their environment was hostile, even in the safety of the walls, and they would only hear terrifying stories about what happens to those who venture outside into the desert outskirts where the bandit bikers lurk and prey on the weak. Then one day by mere chance they would encounter one of these gangs for themselves. Long story short: they'd find out the biker gangs aren't so bad after all, and they end up joining them. Eval & Knieval joined them in the outskirts, and for the first time, they had a home and family. They'd also be formally introduced into motorcycles, and Eval was put to some use by acting as an assistant mechanic.

While not all the rebel biker gangs/clubs got along, there was a certain sense of companionship among them all and any disputes were dealt with according to a very particular set of rules to avoid too many casualties and starting a cycle of vengeance between them when their mutual enemy still stands. Their form of solving disputes was through their ability as a rider, with participants competing against each other in races or stunt courses to settle a dispute. It is here that the brothers would spend the rest of their childhood, and where they began to grow into young men. Knieval would quickly rise to prominence among the biker community; earning their respect through his unprecedented talent for motorcycles. At the age of just fourteen, Knieval was keeping up with the vets and old-timers, and at sixteen was the first in a hundred years to make the 'Impassable Gap' with success. It was this achievement that birthed his own rebel gang in the form of the 'Brothers in Speed'. Which was mostly made up of the biker youth who aspired to be like Knieval. It wasn't just Val that loved and admired his brother Knieval - almost everyone in the biker community did! It was also around this time that Knieval began to loudly announce his dream to strike out to the seas, and make himself someone to be remembered throughout the generations to come...And this was also the time that the Triangle Troupe began to turn their attentions back to the biker rebels living in the Landring.

That is because one of the primary goals of Brothers in Speed was to bring together all the different biker gangs of Landring under a single initiative to take back control of the Bosozoku Kingdom. If Knieval were to succeed, the assembled force would be large and strong enough to finally stand against the gangsters of the Triangle Troupe. However, this would sadly never come to full fruition. The Brothers in Speed would begin interrupting Triangle Troupe supply ships and regularly evaded the city highways to cut off supply runs. In the end, Knieval's actions would catch up with them. The Triangle Troupe would call in one of their strongest affiliates: an organization of 'professional' slavers that operated in and out of East to South Blue. What followed with their arrival to Bosozoku Island was not just a massacre for the Brothers in Speed, but for all of Landring's biker residents. What followed was a massacre for not just the Brothers in Speed, but all of Landring's residents. Dirt Town would be reduced to near ruins before Knieval finally offered himself to bring it all to a stop and bargain for the release of those who were captured by the slavers. Allowing himself to be taken in by the Triangle Troupe who publically executed him in Bosozoku Square as a warning to all other would-be rebels. Knieval was nineteen when he was publically executed: dying with his shades on and smiling wide.

For a time the residents of Landring were safe from further attacks from the Triangle Troupe until it was discovered that Knieval had a little brother and they wanted to make an example out of him too by selling him as a slave. They stole Eval in the dead of night while the town mourned and slept, stealing him away on a ship that was initially heading for Paradise before it was intercepted by a mysterious stranger. The same stranger who visited Dirt Town all those years ago and ignited the spark of Knieval's dreams. A man who went only be the letter 'D'.

D rescued Eval only a week or so after he was stolen, before they ever got the chance to sell him, and for the next two years D would take Eval with him under his wing. Training him as he originally intended to train Knieval, preparing Eval for the journey his brother never go to take this is also how Eval would end up in East Blue.

Bosozoku Kingdom
The Bosozoku Kingdom is a country located in South Blue and is where Eval, Knieval and D come from. It is a country with three Underworld Families at the head of its hierarchy, with each family governing over their own third of the Kingdom. While the Bosozoku Kingdom was once a country and people devoted to the engineering of vehicles, primarily in the form of motorcycles, since it was taken over by the four families it has been turned into a weapons-manufacturing machine and tourist trap for those looking for cheap or unruly entertainment unavailable anywhere else in the South Blue. Now the old spirit of the island has been carried on by its youth in the form of an uprising of motorcycle gangs that coincided with the passing of Luffy and the birth of a new generation of piracy. Bosozoku Kingdom and the four families are an ally to the World Government as a result of a special arrangement that was made over fifty years ago.

The country today runs rampant with these biker rebels along with gangsters, thugs, thieves, black market peddlers and the worst of the lot - Slavers. As far as the general island layout goes, most of the kingdom has effectively been turned into a large, illustrious city with plenty of highways for the biker gangs to stir trouble on, but surrounding the city's outskirts and indeed the rest of the island is a desolate desert canyon. The outskirts have plenty of dangerous wildlife, but it can also be seen as a safe haven for those who are being hunted down by one of the Big Families. Somewhere hidden in the canyon outskirts is a village and underground facility that was once used as the base of operations by the Brothers in Speed. On another note, from a bird's eye point of view, the island is vaguely shaped like the wheel of a dirtbike/motorcycle.

Nakama/Relationships

- "Daredevil" Knieval | Older Brother -
Knieval was not just a protective older brother of Eval, he was his first teacher and his greatest inspiration to become something more than what he ever thought he could be. Knieval lived the entirety of his life riding on the edge of life & death, both figuratively and literally. He was not just a gifted fighter, but a prodigal rider who won the ire of their hometown neighbourhood through his stylish flare, fiery spirit and radical wheels.

Whenever Eval was in trouble, it was always Knieval who'd be the first to arrive on the scene. In the end, almost nobody was willing to mess with Knieval - that was with the exception of the four major crime families themselves, and it was their elite who orchestrated Knieval's ultimate demise. Though not before Knieval was able to guarantee the safe escape of his younger brother. That was the last day Eval saw his older brother, and he would later find out about his death through the newspaper.

Knieval formed his own biker club known as the "Brothers in Speed". They all adorned a similar getup and similar shades, and they had the objective of uniting all the biker gangs on Bosozoku Island under one purpose: to take back control from the crime families and eliminate the artificial borders that divide their nation. Knieval was close to achieving this goal but in the end, his brash actions would catch up with him in the worst kind of way. Being a good few years older than Eval, it is likely that Knieval did have some type of memory about their parents but was never given the opportunity to tell his little brother the full truth before meeting his demise. (Last part is to just leave room for potential expansion in the future.)

- "Cross-Bones" D. | Temporary Guardian & Pirate Mentor -
A remnant of the last generation, D is an enigmatic old timer who was once the notorious captain of the Cross-Bones Pirates. The man's life and motives have always been shrouded in mystery, and it was said that not even the members of his own crew got to know as much as his real name despite all the time they spent and the tribulations they went through. The Cross-Bones were famous for possessing advanced technological weapons, and for their aircraft vessel the 'Maiden of Misfortune' it is said that whenever they landed upon the surface destruction would be sure to follow. Whatever the case, the Maiden of Misfortune was felled from the skies, and the Cross-Bones Pirates were presumably all killed in the carnage with the exception of D himself.

Since then, D has seemingly retired from his days as a sky pirate and has been spotted all around the world on his lonesome over the years. Along his travels, D came to Bosozoku Island and during his time there found his new calling in life by nurturing the next generation through Eval's older brother Knieval. It was D who planted the sparks to Knieval's fiery dreams, and while D initially planned on turning Knieval into his personal pupil...By the time he finally returned to the island, Knieval had already passed on. Leaving his dream in his little brother's hands, D respected this gesture by taking Eval under his wing.

For almost two years, D did his dues by teaching Eval how to survive and preparing him for the initial steps he would have to make in order to accomplish his goals. The last and perhaps most important piece of advice D would leave Eval before dumping him on (??? island) was: "If you are to accomplish your dream - find those of similar worth. It is our nakama that not only defines what we can accomplish but also what kind of people we will be remembered as."

Charles de Antony, the "Living Guillotine"

Name: Charles de Antony

Marine titles/epithet: Captain Charles, also know as the Living Guillotine, or The World's Executioner.

Nicknames
D. Or some very few call him Ant, or Charlie

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Species: Human/Giant (he's on the smaller size for even a half giant)

PERSONA.
Character Strengths
He's physically dominant to most people, athletic, as well as a natural hand-to-hand fighter, an incredibly capable tracker/hunter, and a brilliant strategist in combat. He's incredibly loyal to his friends, and comrades and honorable almost to a fault. He gives his all to any mission he's given, refusing to stop until the job is done. His stoic and noble nature often puts him in the favor of civilians and lower-ranked Marines alike.
Character Flaws
While his loyalty could be seen as a strength, sometimes it's a hindrance. He doesn't usually question orders from higher-ups as he believes the marines to always be in the right. He's also rather singular minded so his focus on a foe or job can make him overlook everything around him making him easy to trick, or mislead in battle. He's not one for talking so negotiations aren't his strong suit meaning he usually finds himself paying more than he should or resorting to using his rank and intimidation to get what he wants. As a matter of fact, he's horrible in most social situations that require him to utilize any kind of fast talk or silver tongue. He's also terrible at lying low due to his size and imposing aura.

Likes
Keeping the peace, sunsets, executing criminals, quiet and peaceful days, things that are hard to break, gaining notice and favor with his higher-ups, taking on big missions fighting alone.
Dislikes
Moonlit Nights, things that break easily, people who talk more than necessary, overly complicated things, working with others, noncombative jobs

Eye Color: Blood Red
Hair Color: Dark Purple-Blue
Height: 10ft
Weight: 420 lbs
Affiliation
World Government | Navy Marines
Marine Rank
Marine Captain
Aspirations & Dreams
He desires to slaughter as many pirates as possible, specifically there's a Yonko he has to execute in order to avenge a fallen loved one.
Gear
Charles possesses specially made armor in the form of gauntlets and leg bracers that both protect his limbs as well as act as guillotine-like blades due to their sharp outer layer. The armor is made of Sea prism stone/or at least the thing outer layer is.
Skills
Ever since he was young Charles has shown great aptitude in combat. His strategy in combat as well as his natural battle instinct have helped him to grow stronger and rise through the ranks of the Marines. He's especially skilled in hand-to-hand combat garnering the attention of even some of his higher-ranked Marine comrades. His time in CP also helped him learn to track his targets making him quite the opposing enemy to have.
Fighting Style
Charles is a former member of Cipher Pol for personal reasons he's left to attempt to raise through the ranks of the Marines. As such his primary fighting style is that of the Cipher Poll aka Rokushiki. He's even managed to combine the different techniques of Rokushiki to develop a brutal yet elegant style of fighting all his own which along with his specialized weapon has earned him his Epithet.
MOVE LIST
Geppo
Mastery level- 10/10 Charles despite his size has managed to Master Geppo quite fast. Even assimilating it into his fighting style rather effectively.

Tekkai
Mastery level 6/10, while it may seem like Charles, would be able to easily master this form given his size and durability he's found it hinders him in battle more than not and isn't as necessary given his own natural defenses. So he hasn't trained in it much, and only uses it when absolutely necessary.

Rankyaku
Mastery level 8/10 while Charles seems to have the power and technique behind this move down he lacks the ability to control it. His aims are terrible and he only uses this technique when he's absolutely sure it'll hit. Although when it does hit most things are sure to be cut in twain.

Soru
Mastery 6/10 while he's tried often to master this one his size and tense demeanor seem to prevent him from mastering it. Along with the weight of his combat armor it seems that mastery of this technique will take a bit longer.

Shigan
Mastery level 4/10 this comes down to fighting preference. He actually prefers to use his legs in combat over his hands and even when he uses his hands he can usually deal more damage with a strike or one of his other attacks than Shigan. However if he ever chose to master it he's shown the aptitude to do so in no time.

Kami-e
Mastery level 5/10 again surprisingly enough Charles seems to be somewhat adept at this technique although due to his armor you'll almost never see it come up during one of his fights.

Rokuogan
Mastery level 0/10 Charles hasn't even learned this move yet. He would need to master all the other forms first, and thus far he's decided to pursue other routes to becoming stronger.

"Ride of the Dullahan"
Probably one of his deadliest moves. He utilizes what ability he has using each technique of Rokushiki to charge down a foe striking them full force in a finishing move that most foes find impossible to avoid. However this move is still difficult to control so it takes time to set up and his path of attack cannot be changed once set. He usually uses it on foes who aren't expecting it.

"Executioner's Mercy"
This is one of Charles' finishing moves. He utilizes his mastery of Geppo and his powerful kicking abilities as well as his bladed legs to lock down foes with his legs and decapitate them with a powerful leg drop.

"Guillotine Drop (or Kick)"
These two moves utilize his geppo, Rankyaku, and Soru skills. The kick is a normal attack where he uses Soru to get in close and Strike his foes with Rankyaku, usually aiming for vital points in an attempt to finish them. Drop adds Geppo in order to get above his foes then he drops spinning at extreme speeds aiming to decapitate enemies below him.

Origin Story
Charles was raised in a corrupt kingdom in the second half of the grand line filled with poverty and ruled by an iron fisted Tyrant. His father was an abusive drunk who worked as the Tyrants Executioner. Day after day the King would have someone executed in front of the crowds of peasants. Those he deemed traitors to his rule, although most were just unfortunate enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong time when the King was in a bad mood. Charles hated his father, and the tyrant more than anything. His mother had died, or run off when Charles was too young to remember. His father would never tell him which. If he pushed the subject too much he would end up with a busted lip and an empty belly for his trouble. One day he was told he would be training to take his fathers position. This left a foul taste in his mouth, but he couldn't refuse or he might find his own head on the chopping block. So he began training, forcing himself to work under his father more than he wanted. Getting up close and personal with the gore, and death he usually watched from afar. One day his father grew sick, too sick to do his job. The king refused to spend any of his staff of medics or his large horde of medicines on the man who had served so loyally for years. Instead he opted to hasten his fathers death, considering it a "mercy" on his dying father. Of course his executor was to be Charles himself.

The King gave him the night for his father to make his peace before his execution. Charles expected his father to beg him for forgiveness, or not to kill him. Plead for his life, but that night his father only laughed,"Looks like yer a real chip off the ole block *cough hack* I figured this'd be how I died. Tho I always pictured you'd cut my throat in my sleep wit how bad I always treated ya." Charles was shocked at his fathers acceptance. It seemed like he wanted this; he even seemed eager. After so many years of wishing his father dead Charles was horrified to find his father waiting with opened arms. "Why would you want this? You always seemed to enjoy life. You loved your job, and relished in tormenting me. So why, now why do you seem so happy to die?" Charles wasn't very emotional even as a child. His fathers years of abuse had made him numb inside, but now he found his eyes burning as he held back tears, but what his father told him next caused his sadness to overflow."I know I treated you like shit…I wanted you to hate me. Cuz I knew this day would come, the day you'd have to execute me. I know cuz I had to execute my father…and…and I-I'm also the reason your mothers dead." His father struggled to get the words out, his own tears streaming down his gruff bearded face in rivers."Your mother was a giant, I fell in love with her when I was young. Found her out in the mountains injured and left on her own. I did my best to treat her injuries, and we kept her secret. If tha king knew der wazz a giant so close to the Kingdom he'd surely have her killed. Years went by, and we got comfortable. Until the night you were born. Her screams of pain couldn't be held back, you wazz on hell of a pain on the ass kid I'll tell ya that. Yur mother was the strongest woman I'd ever met, but even she couldn't hold back from screaming blood murder when you came out. I was expecting you ta be the size of a house. But when you was born you was about the size of a toddler at most. Im sure ya noticed yer size. You always been bigger than most your age. But the night of your birth the king brought an army to congratulate us...and capture yer mom. It wasn't long before he decided she would be executed. Course ya know who had to do the job. I-I refused at first, begged tha King to let her live, or at least have someone else do tha deed. Heh, well yeh know tha king…he never relents once he's decided somethan. If your mother hadn't pleaded with me to go through with it I mighta jus died right there next ta her. She said someone needed ta raise you, and she wazz right, but goddamit after dat I could nawt fergive mahself. I raised you proper till you was old enough to know what it meant to hate. I knew one day you'd hafta execute me, and honestly I hated mahself…it was never you son, I wanted ta die so badly, in the hopes thad maybe somehow regardless of mah sins Id see er in tha afterlife. Im nawt sure why Im tellin ya this now, seems against da point but Im hoping tha damage has been done. That yer hate fer me's so deeprooted that ya'd still gladly take mah life. O'er maybe knowin I killed yer mom would push ya over da edge. Don't hesitate tomorra kid jus gimme tha ole chop quick an clean. I know I ain't got no right ta ask ya fer even tha..but if ye can I'd appreciate it." Charles couldn't even look at his father. He was shocked and horrified, he spent the night outside practicing his blade swing and weeping for his father. The man he had hated for so long and it was all an act. Just some ploy to push him forward, and prepare him for this day. But funny enough even before learning about all this Charles wasn't sure he could go through with it.

By the next day he was exhausted from spending all night swinging his executioner's blade. The blade he hated so much, until his arms were numb. The audience that day was larger than most, and much rowdier. Having watched his father execute so many of their friends and loved ones under the King's command they looked forward to his demise. But his executor stood, and young man of 13 his hood pulled up and his blade in his hands, arms shaking. His father laughed as he met the executioner's blade much heartier than he had been the night before."Member kid, an executioner always hides his pain behind his hood, and makes sure to end things in one strike. Now end it fast fore the crowd gets impatient an rips me apart demselves. Thad ain't no way to go out boy." So with a heavy heart, and aching arms Charles lifted his blade high over his head, and ended his fathers life in one swift blow. Everything after that was a blurr, he remembered the crowd cheering and then screams and fire as everything was thrown into chaos. By the time Charles came to his senses he found the King's body lying dead before him, and a mysterious man standing over them both. He reached a hand out to Charles,"Someone like you shouldn't be forced to execute so casually. Come with me and I'll show you how to properly use your blade, to make the world a better place." With his father dead, and the Kingdom thrown into chaos at their King having been overthrown, Charles went with man who would become his master of the years, and joined an organization known as Cipher Poll within the world government.

Years passed and under the man he would come to know as Gavrilo Godse he grew into a powerful member of Cipher Pol. He dedicated himself to only executing those he deemed guilty of horrible evil on the world. He made many friends, and even those he'd consider family. Until one day…on a mission to gather information on a Yonko they were caught and surrounded. This Yonko proved to be a cruel evil bastard, Charles only managed to escape thanks to Gavrilo, but for the second time in his life Charles lost a father. He left Cipher Pol after that, deciding to become a member of the marines so he could rise through the ranks and eventually lead a fleet against the Pirate that had killed his Master. His sense of Justice was also skewered, he no longer cared about what a pirate had done or why. From that day forward the act of being a pirate was itself a sin, and made someone worthy of his Executioner's blade. He quickly made a name for himself with his new ruthless personality, and brutal action against the pirate scum of the world gaining his current rank of Captain.

Demetria Vos Glavus, The Approaching Storm

Name: Demetria Vos Glavus
Pronunciation: Deem-A-Tree-A Voss Glay-Vus
Pirate Epithet: Stormblood Demetria
Nicknames: Forsaker Demetria, Stormwalker, Demi, The Approaching Storm, TBD
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Asexual
Species: Human

Persona:
"Man should fight for the joy of it. To live, to eat, to breed— lesser beasts snap and howl at one another for this. Only man has the wisdom and the clarity to embrace violence for its own sake."

Being similar to her ruling relations, Demetria can come across as arrogant, savage, and overall ruthless. But unlike her constituents, she doesn't appear to have any noble motive behind her actions, nor does she care about the ruling. Having been raised as the heir apparent, she previously disregarded the importance of human life but nor did she care for her job of governing provinces, still, she moved through it all like going through the motions. Demetria is in fact a deeply nihilistic, girl who is lonely and possibly fatalistic with no regard for life including his own.

"To be born into this world, bestowed name, bid to seek out strife and adventure or to carry a task til duties end...Which life is to be a gift?...which a burden? Can either find... fulfilment?"

She can be quite hypocritical at times, as their detachment from outwardly displaying emotions, does not stop them from impacting her actions causing confusion she quickly attempts to logically justify to herself. An example would be something that could be seen as selfless, merciful or even kind quickly being stated to be anything but. Finally, she seems to hold little value in the material outside of the tools most useful to her.

"Would you be "happier" had I a "good reason"? If my motives met with your approval, would you no longer resent the outcome? If so, then perhaps a beast's skin would suit you better."

She attempts to put logic above all else and tends to speak bluntly and truthfully, keeping to her words without compromise regardless of future developments. She holds the belief that ideals such as duty, honour, and morality are mere tools of convenience and that justice is but a means to an end, using the World government's conquests as proof. She does not care about leading others, stating it's each individual's own responsibility to determine their purpose in life. Ultimately she remains pragmatic to a fault in how she goes about her actions, being very no-nonsense and literal.

"That I should lose... How disappointing. Never have I understood those around me. Understood their obsessions. Besieged by their banality, the world was a mire of tedium and trivialities. But in these fleeting moments, there is...a spark. Blinding, brilliant... Gone...too soon..."

Since Demetria never found a challenge in battle upon her island, she treated her conquered subjects as prey to hunt and partakes in battles for the thrill. What Demetria loathes most is an opponent who does not overestimate themselves and those who flee or otherwise do not participate in the battle. However, after her first defeat at the hands of the great swordsman, Demetria gains a greater sense of purpose, seeing something in those brief moments that stirred her from their otherwise depressive life. Having felt little value in the world, Demetria finally found a kindred spirit in the one who could finally beat her. Her newly forged motivation to face the Swordsman again drives her to remove all obstacles and distractions, her birthright of the throne being among them. This drove her to find one of the few things she could truly enjoy in the world and so went out to seek it leaving her past behind.

"Hear me then, not as a pirate or marine but simply you. Against you I need to bring my all to bear, I need to burn through the candle of my life. This is the sole pleasure I know, and the sole pleasure I have to share."

Character Strengths:
Demetria holds a highly refined skill within swordsmanship that makes the most of her physical ability but forgoes any flair in favour of direct precision and somewhat brutal efficiency that can be seen to others as underhanded as she rarely places options off limits within a fight. This also extends however in martial prowess as she is not above employing such alongside her blade skills. Even among the more absurd denizens of the world, the woman's physical abilities far exceed what should be possible rendering her a physical juggernaut, which when combined with her relentless nature and willpower creates a force of nature within conflict. If not for her equally strong self-control refining her approach she would be prone to causing excessive damage upon a wild rampage. She holds a natural talent for combat, holding high levels of Perception which allow her advanced analytical and pattern recognition abilities within a fight allowing her to adapt and adjust freely.

Skill-wise, Demetria is well-read and has expansive knowledge, particularly when it comes to logistical, accountancy and general bookkeeping having experience managing large supply lines and kingdom matters during campaigns. This also includes being quite the gifted navigator having spent considerable time going over trade route maps and more, but may also be aided by her unique sword style giving her a high affinity to sensing the weather. Finally, while it may not appear such at first glance, she is highly knowledgeable and practised in a wide array of regal decorum, etiquette and protocol for interacting with people in a more refined manner, if she chooses to use any of these however is another matter entirely.

Character Flaws: (TO BE EXPANDED)
Demetria is highly reluctant to engage in anything but what she deems a fair fight much to her detriment, going to greater lengths to ensure her opponent is fighting at their full capacity, or even handicap herself to reduce them closer to their level. This, however, is not to be mistaken for an honourable action but closer to a selfish one, wanting the challenger to be free of any detraction so can go all out for a greater fight, and so that upon their defeat they have no regret nor excuse. Despite this though she is also averse to placing restrictions upon the clash itself, but will concede to terms on the outcome, terms she will keep to the letter.

Her honesty extends far beyond just combat however, she will ensure her word is kept regardless, honouring her agreements to the letter. She is however also literal in this to a fault as well as exhibiting other obsessive-compulsive tendencies in her organisation and general way of living. This combined with her structured royal upbringing can make her appear quite stiff and socially awkward in more informal interactions which she lacks experience handling, however adding on to her prideful nature it is very unlikely she will admit such. Regardless of all of this, her pride may be her greatest vice, leading to her being extremely stubborn and uncompromising at times, especially once her mind has been set on a course of action.

Likes: Challange, Duels, Poetry, Puzzles, Reading, Cigarettes
Dislikes: Children, Ceremony, Cowardice, Deception, Manipulation, Procrastination

Eye Color: Amber
Hair Color: Black
Height: 6' 2" (188cm)
Weight: 210lbs
General Description: A tall woman with refined regal features and athletic build. The most striking feature of her appearance is her darkened yet piercing eyes, intense and likened to those of a predator against the backdrop of an otherwise stone face. Despite dressing in high-quality clothing it is often worn in a haphazard and casual manner, in a bizarre mix of high and low effort. The same goes for her hair messy and cut roughly by a blade rather than a stylist.

Description of Attire/Style: Large overcoats or suit jackets with dress shirts are a common trend in her attire, always lose fitting and being of noticeable quality. She is drawn towards simple formal styles in black and white, though tends to also hold golden trims and accessories on these outfits.
Affiliation: Unaffiliated (Formerly Garland Empire) | Pirate
Crew Role: Navigator, Swordsman, Bookeeper
Aspirations & Dreams: I want to disprove the One Piece / I want to seek fulfilment
Fighting Style:
A great swordswoman carrying three blades within a unique barrel-like sheath, Mistral, Sundowner and Catatumbo. She utilizes her overwhelming physical ability to employ a style self-titled "Approaching Storm". Each blade has been purpose-made by her island's skilled smiths and can be ejected with tremendous force on the draw through the use of gunpowder charges. The main barrel holster also rotates and can be manually overcharged as needed.

Move List:
- Vacuum Slice: While their blade is sheathed they will draw their focus in for a single powerful slice in an instant before returning to the blade. The force of the strike often tears up the ground and projects the blow far further than the sword should reach by air pressure alone.
- Vacuum Tri-Slice: A advanced form of the technique is performed with each of the three blades she carries. Effectively appears as if each slice falls simultaneously from alternate directions making evasion nearly impossible and blocking incredibly difficult, but yet the only real option available.
- Ferostorm Eye: Swinging their blade with enough force to create a wind vortex that forcefully pulls opponents into the eye of the storm from range. The vortex continues for a short while before dying down and can even be inverted by performing the technique in reverse.
- Ferostorm Air: A variation of their Vortex that instead operates vertically, throwing opponents into the air, or forcefully pulling them down.
- Aerial Rave: Taking to the air with powerful leaps, Demetria will propel themselves up further by leaping from enemy targets or loose debris or even allowing her to change direction as needed while attacking.
- Occluded Front: Launching a blade at high speed in a spinning motion to create a minute vortex slicing repeatedly like a buzzsaw, The blade can return after a short while, be set on a remarked path or be grabbed by Demetria herself for a slash.
- Cyclogenesis: The user sends all three blades out in a spinning motion before dashing to retrieve each, in turn, to go for intense slashes from different angles.
- Storm Caller: Using her electrically charged blade, she attunes it to her other blades allowing her to recall them through a strong electromagnetic pull. This however can also be used to attract other magnetic items to her if needed.
- Storm Blades: Their unique sheath system appears to hold components that allow blades to be charged for various effects that can augment her attacks. The system currently holds freezing and burning edges at opposing sides with an electrically charged one in the middle.
Gear:
- Retrofitted MK2 Elemental Infusion Launcher: Originally designed as a piece of siege-mounted equipment due to its weight, The device has since been drastically altered to serve as a holster for Demetria's blades. Unique thermal sinks draw in all available heat to the central chamber resulting a drastic heat, while also creating an arctic-like cold at the opposing end, this movement of temperatures through the central chamber creates a high amount of static discharge which is how the three elemental effects is created. The base of each chamber is fitted with a charge that can propel the contents out at great force, as well as all three being able to be rotated at speed to either draw the next blade without issue or to even randomize which is drawn.
- Garland Forged Alloy Blades: Three blades forged from differing materials to make each more suited to channelling different elements, the blades themselves are far denser than a typical blade resulting in a higher weight intending to be wielded with two hands as an anti-cavalry or execution weapon rather than fluid combat.
Origin Story:
A royal family member of the Island empire of Garland, a technologically advanced nation that maintained strict caste systems and medieval ruling structure. An only child despite repeated attempts, it was no secret that her father had wished for a male heir, and his numerous wives prior to her mother had been unable to give him such. Demetria was brought up being taught all that an imperial heir was expected to learn, including book studies with tutors as well as combat. From birth, she was to be moulded into exactly what her father desired of them with an intense training regime and other far more unethical processes. She spent little time with her father Demos and her mother Carosa sickened and died shortly after he was born. Demos and Demetria often went months without seeing each other, and to the youth, her tutors and servants were little more than automatons. A bright but joyless child, she had little time or inclination for innocence or playfulness and instead lived going through the motions finding little joy in the path but walking it all the same.

One of the tutors of note was the famed (EDIT BLUE) sea swordsman who tutored Demetria as part of her education, from whom she learned her initial blade technique, and with it the first spark of something that could be called joy in her life. The truth would eventually be revealed though that the swordsman actually sought the life of her father, as their family was being held hostage to ensure he would train Demetria. The swordsman eventually attempted to kill her father and turn the girl, but fate would not sway her leaving the man losing his sword arm at her hand, but strangely being allowed to flee contrary to the believed death he would receive at Demetrias Hands. Her studies would continue at her own pace, and may or may have been connected to her 4 former prospective fiances and their disappearances.

Her life would finally change when the spark was fully ignited following crossing paths with "That Man", and her first complete defeat, an event that drove her to leave to the seas in search of what she was missing and to chase the same feeling that defeat brought once more. The rush of a fight to her limits, the nature of that mysterious man's smile throughout and how he left without a word afterwards. This was also what finally opened her eyes to the wider world, in her own words having previously confused the reflection of the pond for the stars of the sky.
