  General Description:
  Description of Attire/Style: Note: Outfits and costumes in One Piece vary from arc to arc, but whether in the misty marshes of Thriller Bark or the snowy wastes of Karakuri, your character is likely to have a general aesthetic and fashion sense that groups their taste in clothing. Are they sporty? Do they prefer practicality and comfort over style?
• 
  Personality: Note: Please make this roughly two to three paragraphs in length. I don’t need a full description of how they act with every situation, but a general overview of their temperament, how they respond under pressure, general attributes and such is important.

• 
  Abilities: Note: Please list here the abilities/techniques of your character. This can be a description of anything from a Sword Technique to a Devil Fruit Ability (i.e Zoro’s 360 Caliber Phoenix, Chopper’s Ability to Discern Weak Points in Battle, Luffy’s 2nd Gear, etc.). I would prefer you list 5 specific techniques with names to announce during battle (Diabla Jamba, Gomu-Gomu No Jet Pistol, Negative Hollow, etc.), as having the names and announcing your attacks is a staple of One Piece’s zany, creative aesthetic, the more fun and creative the better!
  Devil Fruit: Note: See the IC for information on how to fill in this section if you’re interested in filling it in at all.
  Strengths: Note: Here you can list the general strong points of your character in combat situations. Are they agile? Very resistant to poisons? Do they have an analytical mind and can read their opponent’s movements well? Only a few are necessary here, but please describe them fully to give a good idea of where your character shines.
  Weaknesses: Note: Please do not skim or leave this section unattended! I encourage and wish for my players to enjoy a very anime style power fantasy where their characters can feel like badasses and make big names for themselves on the grand line, but I also encourage my players to write interesting characters that don’t just win all of the time. Where is your character vulnerable? How can they be exploited? A fight hard won is far more satisfying than a fight easily made. By writing weaknesses you make your fight scenes more easy to open into a dialogue between opponents. Weakness can be especially compelling in the world of One Piece! While Usopp would not win in a direct physical confrontation with Luffy, it was his incredibly low confidence that made him a compelling matchup against Perona!
• 
  Backstory: Note: Please go into detail of where your character is from and how they ended up becoming a pirate. As the final cast emerges you can start to organize very recent details with your crewmates over discord and determine how you ended up in this pirate crew later. But for now focus on early and formative moments in your character’s life. This is a reminder your character’s backstory does not need to be tragic. Of course I say this in the world of One Piece where all the Straw Hats have endured one form or another of great tragedy which are all very compelling. But your characters’ lives need not be wholly depressing and sans any family like Robin’s to be just as compelling. Please focus on their origins and friends/families/ties they have to the world outside their adventure. Formative figures in their lives like Kaya are for Usopp or Dr. Kureha for Chopper make your OC more lifelike. What inspires them to be a pirate? What shaped their worldview and made them undertake such a dangerous lifestyle?
  Profession: (i.e Navigator, Doctor, Historian, Shipwright, etc.) Note: For Sanji, Franky and Chopper cooking, building ships and doctoring respectively are not just professions but entire lifestyles that come with very serious philosophies and emotional attachment. If you haven’t described as much in your backstory, why is your character the profession they are and why do they care about it?
  Dream: Note: “I want to draw a map of the entire world!/I want to make a panacea for all illness!/I want to be the greatest swordsman in the world!/I want to be a great warrior!/I want to be King of the Pirates!” These are all examples of “dreams” that are core to the values/hopes/philosophies of the characters of One Piece that have for one reason or another influenced them to venture out into the grand line. Your goal is suggested to be as pie in the sky as you like (as all are meant to be achieved very late in the game at its conclusion) and as vague or specific as you’d like. You may just describe your dream in the form of a simple “I want (...)” or describe it more as you’d prefer.
• 
  What Do You Want For This Character?: Note: I feel as though these sorts of conversations are sparse and nonexistent at character creation, but as me (the story planner) and you (the player) interact through RP, I feel like it’s a good idea to know what you want for your character as the story progresses. What do you want them to learn? How do you want them to grow/change? You may be as specific or vague as you’d like with this, but remember the more I know about what you want from them, the more you will get from me if your character is accepted! You can feel free to edit this section as much as you want as we on in the RP.
  Theme Song: Note: This does not need to be anime original or from one piece! It can be whatever you think fits your character best. This is not required.

  Height: 6' 2"
  Weight: 195lbs
  Hair Color: Black
  Eye Color: Amber
  Skin Color: White
  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/suit jackets and 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.
• 
  
  Personality:
  "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. 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... What of you? Born into this world, bestowed name, bid to seek out strife and adventure... Was this life a gift...or a burden? Did you find... fulfilment?"
  
  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."

  Abilities: 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.
  
  • 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 or blocking incredibly difficult.
  • 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 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.
  Equipment:
  
  • 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.

  • Swordsmanship

  Backstory:
  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 to 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.
  
  Profession: Swordsman, Historian and Bookkeeper.
  Dream: I want to disprove the One Piece / I want to seek ever greater battle

  What Do You Want For This Character?: Through their travels will open up more as a person and find interests beyond simple conflict, learning of the world outside the island to temper their nihilistic side and find genuine connections

  Name: Huang Glauert
  Gender: He/Him
  Age: 24
  Race: Fishman- Leafy Sea Dragon
  Sexuality: Heterosexual
• 
  Height: 9’2” / 279 cm
  Weight: 480 lbs
  Hair Color: Green
  Eye Color: Green
  Skin Color: Yellow with stripes
  General Description: Huang's fish side shows with his physicality being rather similar to Kaido's, sporting two leafy horns and a tail. His "hair" is more similar to kelp and his back is lined with protrusions similar to those found on a leafy sea dragon, with his arms having smaller ones at the wrists. His build is rather balanced for his size and riddled with lightning scars. Even with all these traits he maintains a fishman's characteristic sharp teeth. He keeps his hair grown out rather long and tied into a ponytail with it being rather annoying to cut but his face mostly shaven.
  Description of Attire/Style: Note: While Huang prefers to dress in a kimono with the top half off he's fine with anything that doesn't have a shirt, as they're very annoying and hide the muscles he's so proud of.
• 
  Personality: Huang considers himself proof that dragons are real and is determined to act in a manner befitting of one, utterly idolizing them. He's prideful, greedy, and oh so overconfident in everything he does. He'll approach most problems with brute force if he can but does have the capability to think critically if pushed. While he can be very self centered he considers his crew his "hoard" and is thus very protective of them, even if he will shit talk each and every one of them to their faces. He thrills in testing his strength against others and the elements and despises those who only claim to be strong without raw physical power to back it up. While he values the lives of his crew he will be among the first to push them all into danger, seeing it as a way to improve them and helping them in a way.
  While he greatly approves of strength and takes great pride in his own he believes it is the duty of the strong to look after the weak and will gladly knock down a peg or two those who deserve it, even if they've garnered his respect. Which frankly isn't uncommon, even atrocious enemies will have his approval to some extent. It just won't stop him from clocking them and punishing their wrongdoings.
  Likes: Dragons, challenge, beautiful views, collecting things over cash, and having his ego stroked.
  Dislikes: Celestial Dragons, he thinks they're a mockery. People who can't put their money where their mouth is. Leaders who won't act with their subordinates. Eating his veggies.
• 
  Abilities:
  Abilities: Dragon Karate: Storm Throw, grabs hold of the water in the atmosphere to influence the weather. Can be used to start or weaken storms or to direct them.
  Dragon Karate: Boiling Breath, sucks in hotter water molecules from higher in the atmosphere and boils them in his mouth, before spitting it like a bullet at the target. Cannot be used in succession due to burning his mouth.
  Dragon Karate: Storm Claws, rather than striking through the atmosphere like normal fishman karate he uses Storm Throw to circle it around his hands. Grants his strike a "thunderclap" that hits the enemy immediately after his fist with the water of the accumulated storm hitting after.
  Dragon Karate: Dragon Scales, Improves his already considerable defense by covering his skin with running water, making attacks incapable of landing cleanly.
  Dragon Karate: Thunder Strike, when a thunderstorm is present Huang can pull a lightning bolt down from it and onto him by forcing it's conductive path to centralize on him. He can then release the bolt in a single punch. While he discharges excess electricity through his fins this attack still harms him as well.
  tion on how to fill in this section if you’re interested in filling it in at all.
  Strengths: Fishman physique- Do to his origin and training Huang has strength and durability rivaling a shark fishman.
  Great Swimmer- While normally rather stationary he can move very fast when swimming.
  Lightning Resistant- While certainly not immune he has trained to gain some resistance to lightning with it not immediately taking him out of a fight.
  Formally Trained- While he has altered his style of Fishman Karate he was originally trained in it and thus can quickly react to an opponent's more traditional moves.
  Tactical- If forced Huang can actually come up with rather decent strategies, though he won't execute them if they don't fit his style.
  Weaknesses: Heat- Ironically Huang cannot deal well with scorching heat, due to it messing with a good bit of his arsenal.
  Slow on land- Huang is an excellent swimmer but his physicality is not well suited to running around. He can react to basic attacks decently but don't expect him to be able to dive out of the way of anything.
  Stubborn- Huang is far more likely to keep trying to hit an enemy harder before putting into play a plan that would actually work if he comes up with it after he's started.
  Formally Trained- In spite of his own creative style of fighting most of Huang's experience is against formally trained fighters and thus he has trouble dealing with other out of the box fighting styles and tricks.
• 
  Backstory: Huang set his own destiny from a very young age. Not knowing his parents he was instead raised by his Master and dojo, who told him grand tales of the Dragons he was supposedly connected to and of his time on the Grand Line. While he had merely been trying to implant a sense of wonder in the boy and perhaps some motivation for him to take training seriously he instead started a fire that simply couldn't be put out. Huang did in fact pursue his training fervently but it was with a singular goal in mind. To grow closer to the creatures he idolized, hoping he'd meet their standards were he ever to meet one. He trained years on end using the most extreme methods he could think of, ones completely antithetical to how fishman Karate normally operated. Most of his training was done on the surface, focusing on wrestling with not the sea but the skies that legendary beasts were meant to have free reign of. It was there he caught the first actual glimpse of what a dragon truly should be after all. He'd been dragged to the surface by rough currents during a storm one night and as he was yanked above water he saw lightning continuously streaking across the sky. As it ran through the clouds he couldn't help but envision the beasts he'd been told stories of. Clearly that was the only step towards what he wanted to become.
  
  He had been born with a clear purpose and did everything he could to reach it, but when his progress halted at the Dojo he knew from his Master he had to move on. Despite how he separated himself from the sea a part of it had clung to him, not wanting to leave the family he'd known here behind. Not wanting to let them down. But as his master also realized he'd reached a bottleneck he was kicked out and told of how he'd never be strong enough at the dojo, if he wanted to return he'd better at least be strong enough to run the place or why even bother returning. Taking the opportunity and challenge that were handed to him Huang headed to shore with a bag over his shoulder, seeking out a way to follow in his master's footsteps and make his way to the Grand Line. The how didn't matter but were he to have company they'd better at least be strong. Thus before he knew it he'd gone from wandering martial artist to pirate. Hopefully he'd soon also go from pirate to Dragon.
  Profession: Navigator- While having minimal experience in the field of ships he could read a map fine and his talent and experience when it came to reading the weather was unparalleled. Plus with the opportunity to wrestle with the impossible storms of the grand line it was the only possible position for him. He wouldn't stand for anything else. That said he's not what one would expect of a typical navigator. While he won't lead his crew to their demise he will purposely lead them to challenging weather so that he can tear his way through it rather than steer around or with it.
  Dream: Note: "I want to meet a true Dragon." Considering them the highest beings possible Huang wants more than anything affirmation that they're real, both to affirm his own strength and even more out of a sense of wonder.
• 
  What Do You Want For This Character?: I want my character's horizons to be broadened. To realize the world is even more mystical than he thought it was, that strength doesn't have to only mean one thing, and that sometimes there are other things worth prioritizing more than his goals.
  Theme Song:
  Other: While Huang has to know some level of Haki to use fishman karate, his specialization into niche techniques has made it so he only knows how to use it externally to manipulate water at the moment and not at great volumes. He just didn't wanna waste time on the basics. His favorite animal is dragons.

Spoiler: Brief history

Born on Krysben in the West Blue. Xander is the bastard son of a noble woman and a naval captain. Because of their night of passion and his farther leaving the next day never to come back to Krysben atleast not during Xander's formative years. His mother was excommunicated from her family and forced to try and survive with the dirt of society. She hated Xander because of this and told him as much never nurturing him or showing any love. She became abusive to Xander at a young age when he couldn't do anything about it breaking his nose to the point it could never be reset. Scared he ran away from her only to be dragged back. Cause no one would help a small unwanted child.

When he was seven and hungry all he wanted was a freshly baked sweet roll. He would spend hours looking at the stand until one day a man by the name of Whiluf Grey stopped by the stand and chated up the owner. Unaware to the owner Grey stole one of the sweet rolls and threw it towards Xander. Xander shocked completley missed the sweet roll. Grey let out a small chuckle before putting an arm around the poor boy saying that everything will be alright. He brought Xander to the Grey Goose tavern. There he heard the sweetest noise coming from a woman playing an ocarina. When it was time to leave and head back to his abusive mother he pleaded to stay with them
Grey and the woman Mary adopted him as one of their many wayward children. Over time they would become his true family.

Over the next twelve years Xander learned from Grey the art of theivery becoming one of the best that Krysben had ever known

He also taught Xander his code of honor. Never steal from the poor. nor raise your weapon to them. Protect those under you. And respect those who fight by your side. Only kill when you have to. And show mercy to those you beat

Due to his interest in the ocarina Mary taught him almost every night how to play it as well as the guitar and violin. He became great with the Ocarina earning tips whenever there were costumers at the Tavern

At times he would look out to the sea as if he was being called. Grey noticed it and told Xander his own story about when he was a pirate on board the ship Shadow Fox. The story excited Xander he knew his life would be out there and not here. Grey than gave Xander his lucky medallion. Something Xander would always treasure.
Afterwards he started teaching Xander sword combat. While Xander understood the basics he couldn't make it work at all

Tragedy however would strike as his birth mother found out where he had been all these years. She would try blackmailing them only for Xander to tell her to leave. She would then send the marines at them collecting a combined fifty million berry bounty. The marine attack was brutal. Most of Xanders true brothers and sisters and Mary were arrested. Xander and Grey got away but not for long as a red haired Navy captain would shoot Grey.
The man who saved Xander. Brought life to a young boy's dying corpse would die in his arms. Cradling his dad in his arms Xander would cry for the last time.

He escaped the red haired Captain hiding in one of Grey's safe spots.

When the coast was clear he returned to the Grey goose and took Mary's ocarina, Grey's cane sword and what money they had in their real safe. Staring at his home one last time he vowed he wouldn't let this happen to any other family before walking away.

He found his way to a pirate ship. He asks for passage. Thinking they might just throw him over and steal his stuff he played the Ocarina and captivated the crew earning him passage

Profession Musician/ professional theif

Dream: I want to make sure all families can be protected

Spoiler: Misc

What I want for the character? I want Xander to progress as a person. Drop his fake cheerful nature and open up to his crew. Learn new skills and improve on what he already knows

  Personality: Caria has a generally aggressive and assertive demeanor, but often tiptoes along the line between the type of person to wrestle opponents into the dirt for calling them a bad name, and one who would turn their nose up at behaviors deemed inelegant. One might accuse her of suffering mood swings, or otherwise being inconsistent in her outlook and behavior. But there is a certainty that she'll never give up the chase, never abandon a cause or lose focus of a goal. She cares more about appearances than one might think at first glance, she enjoys the thrill of having others fear or admire her, and wishes for the company she keeps to meet her standards in that regard too.
  
  She values rivalry, conflict and dominating her enemies thoroughly, always seeking success and the highest possible position in things she can achieve. But can be rather vapid and shallow at times, with a slightly problem involving the detection of sarcasm or humor. Very territorial when it comes to her property, which extends to her friends in place of her family, she's not above holding grudges and taking revenge when the situation calls for it. In a way, her "feathers" are easily ruffled, and in turn she is quick to attack or defend on behalf of those she cares about. However, she isn't one to dwell on issues for long periods, feeling at ease with the confidence that she can take down any threat that would oppose her eventual position at the top of the world.
  
  Likes:
  - Shiny things, from various bladed weapons to expensive jewelry.
  - Adventure! She loves moving constantly, exploring new places.
  - Winning, be it in combat to games or even just arguments.
  
  Dislikes:
  - Snakes, spies, liars, thieves, dishonest folk, and actual snakes.
  - Things that are bigger than her, including builds and/or tall people.
  - People that give up too easily or won't put up a good fight.
  
  
• 
  Abilities:
  Terror (Guillotine) - While in the air, Caria flips upside down and places all of her weight onto her axe, kicking the air to send herself and the axe plunging down onto an opponent on the ground. While using a Zoan transformation, the same technique can be used with her beak.
  Perch Launch/Crash - While using one of her Zoan transformations, Caria grabs an opponent with her clawed feet and performs a flip, ending in a toss with "Launch" or by slamming them directly into the ground with "Crash"
  Snake (Stomp) - Caria pulls one leg back before striking an opponent with immense force and unexpected range, especially devastating when stomping someone into a hard surface.
  Dromaeoslash - While running at full speed, Caria strikes out with a bladed weapon, focusing her body's momentum into the strike to a delivering a powerful slashing attack with medium effective range.
  Terror (Impact) - While running at full speed, Caria leaps off the ground and attempts to kick an opponent down by striking them with both feet, in a dropkick-style attack.
  
  Devil Fruit: Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Terror Bird (Ancient Zoan)
  Strengths:
  Leg Power - Her natural longleg tribe heritage compounded with the strength of the Terror Bird fruit results in her exceptional leg strength, allowing for increased jump height, running speed and kicking power. The ancient predator specialized in pursuit hunting, giving up the ability to fly for great power and speed on the ground.
  Weapon Expertise - She's accustomed to swinging around powerful weapons such as her trusty giant axe, and this translates effectively to her devil usage where she can deliver powerful strikes with the Terror Bird's large and specialized beak. The axe is still heavy to use in her regular form though, so she uses it's weight more effectively once she gets into the air.
  Lightweight - For her great size, she is surprisingly lightweight and flexible in combat, easily jumping to incredible heights and making swift movements. The same applies when using her Devil Fruit, while she grows even bigger and more powerful, the bird anatomy she adopts was built to fly and is therefore lightweight for it's size, despite the species inability to take flight.
  Predator Instinct - A natural underdog, she knows her strengths and they lie in her unrelenting aggressive attacks using a combination of kicks and slashes to break down the opponent before they can get a chance to rest or recover.
  Intimidating Presence - Due to her maintaining a "terrifying" appearance at all times, Caria manages to avoid unnecessary effort by pressuring dangers with the threat of her overwhelming power. Most apex predators don't wish to suffer unnecessary risks when inducing fear does the job just as well.
  
  Weaknesses:
  Brittle Bones - When utilizing her Devil Fruit abilities, she becomes more susceptible to blunt force trauma due to the thin, hollow and more brittle nature of bird skeletons, in exchange for being lightweight and speedy for her size. Due to this, she would often avoid direct clashes as opposed to dodging attacks, as powerful blows are more like to cause bone breakage when compared to the durability of other ancient zoan types.
  Arm Strength - While she can swing around her axe well enough and take advantage of it's weight, it's a slow process when trying to attack with it on the ground due to most of her strength being found in her lower body. She'll also have difficulty defending herself if she finds herself stuck or unable to use her legs in some fashion.
  Primal Nature - A natural fighter at heart, she follows the natural will of her body in combat and hones those specific skills to her advantage, but this means she can be short-sighted, simple and rather easy to see through compared to other combatants.

  Backstory:
  
  Long ago in the South Blue seas, a pirate crew of escaped slaves sought out new lands to settle upon and create a home for themselves. They were made up of members of the Longleg, Longarm tribe, and various others. But during their voyage, conflict broke out between the two tribes over issues such as leadership, and what island they would inhabit. The crew came across a group of islands shrouded in mist known only as the X-Mark Archipelago, and split into small groups throughout the isles, with the Longlegs taking the so-called "Isle of Terror" as their own, and the Longarms claiming the neighboring isle. The tribesmen would go on to celebrate their success, finding there on the Isle of Terror an unexpected paradise of plump creatures which had grown fat and easygoing due to the island's abundance of food. They did not yet realize that the island was home to a silent predator, a family of enormous primordial snakes which emerged from their burrows once a year to feed on the island's inhabitants.
  
  It was too late to escape by the time the serpents emerged, and due to the impact the Longlegs had on the local ecosystem, food was less plentiful than usual, and the predators were forced to feed on the tribe indiscriminately. And so the cycle continued, with the tribe's numbers dwindling, being unable to feast with abandon, out of fear of removing the snakes food source and becoming one themselves. On rare occasions, warriors would seek out a serpent and attempt to kill it while they slept, but none ever returned from such futile quests.
  
  Forgoing their diet of meat, the tribe would go on to seek out and compete with the herbivores for the island's vegetation instead, leading to the day one of the warriors ate a particularly foul-tasting fruit. Everything changed when they gained the ability to transform into a giant, terrifying predator, a bird with a beak like an axe, and legs stronger and deadlier than the tribe's strongest fighter. The island itself seemed to shrink back in fear when they used the fruits power, the prey animals and predators alike all fled due to some ancient and primal instinct. Even the serpents, though dwarfing the bird in size, would recoil at it's appearance and the dynamic of predator and prey was forever shifted, as if a long forgotten history between the two had suddenly been brought back to the forefront.
  
  From that day forth, the tribe would go on to treat that animal with reverence, as an almost god-like figure who gave up it's ability to fly, in order to strengthen it's legs and rule this island in ancient times, an attribute that the tribe found to be sacred. With each generation, their strongest warrior would be gifted the fruit and trusted to fend off the serpent's feeding frenzy. Each time carrying on the strength and techniques from it's previous holder. And it wasn't long before the tribe became the dominant force on the island, with the serpents slithering beneath their feet and not daring to oppose their rule.
  
  Today, Caria has gained possession of that sacred fruit, and has set out to sea as a pirate in search of a position even higher than that of the island's apex predator.
  
  Profession: Captain
  Dream: "I want to stand at the top of the world! And I don't want to fly there, I'll run all the way on my own two feet."
  
• 
  What Do You Want For This Character?: I want her to be able to live for herself, to see herself and not only other people's perceptions of her. She should want to stand on top to see the view for her own eyes, not for others to see her from below. She wants to settle things with the guilt she feels over her lost loved ones, and with the hatred she has for the long-armed man.

Artist: Serpents of Spring - Banded Sea Krait by Enothar on DeviantArt

• GENERAL INFORMATION. Name: Raga Jahi or R.J
  Gender: He/Him
  Age: 23
  Race: Merfolk (Yellow-lipped sea krait)
• Sexuality: Bisexual

1. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICSHeight: '7,2" on coils 25 ft nose tip to tail
   Weight: 340 lbs
   Hair Color: Black
   Eye Color: Cloudy Gray
   Skin Color: Black, Blue and White
   General Description: A young handsome sea snake merman with a thin but athletic physique. His fangs are visible when he opens his mouth and he seems to move with a trained dancer's slow, sinewy grace.
   
   Description of Attire/Style: R.J has a dancer-like aesthetic. Usually wears colorful Sarongs around his waist and has his hair tied back. Wears no shirt and has a series of intricate swirling tattoo's on his chest. Gold wrist and arm bands decorate his arms. Never seen without his drum.
   
   
2. PERSONALITY
   Personality: R.J has a bright cheerful disposition in contrast to the color of his scales. His voice has a lispy sing-song to it that persists in all but the more dire circumstances. An artist at heart he see's every misfortune as a muse and uses his setbacks as an inspiration. Despite his cheerful demeanor, he takes his skill as a musician seriously. The power of song can drag a spirit into depression or lift it to heroic heights. So he's taken it upon himself to keep the spirits of his crew high, giving them a pick me up with a song or maybe consoling them.
   
   Despite being a pirate he's not so keen to use violence as a first resort of action to the problem. Usually preferring to talk or trick his way out of something. Whether distracting marines with alluring songs and music or telling some violent dummy that his skin is poisonous. When he does have to fight he can be just as vicious as his crew often mocking his opponents with a song.
   
   But his tendency to think of others well being sometimes leaves his own neglected. Underneath that smiling fanged face lies a wounded heart and soul. And his drawing upon the trade and hardship he faced for inspiration can sometimes reopen old wounds. One of his biggest fears is having someone else hurt themselves for his sake. A lift time of losing people has led him to be especially protective of those still in it.

STORY INFORMATION

Backstory: R.J was born in captivity. His parents were forced to produce a child because their scale pattern would surely produce a beautiful merfolk. They were both merfolk who had been bought in Shabondy and added to the menagerie of a World Noble. St. Elazab, who was well known for was known for her obsession with control. For most of his life, he'd been trapped in the confines of a building-sized tank. His only reference for the outside world was what his parents and the other sea folk could tell him. Endless seas, thousands of islands with so many different people on them. It was like a dream to a child with such a limited world.

As the property of Elazab, he and his family were made to sing to her daily. At daybreak and nightfall. During dinner and whenever she had an important guest. Mistakes were always met with harsh punishments. Once when his father had been off-key during a song, Elazab had him taken from the tank and left him to dry out for days in a moisture-less room. He was returned to the tank eventually but it took a month to cover his strength. Elazab's punishment served a double purpose, to punish R.J's father and hammer in that failures would not be tolerated. R.J 's dreams of seeing the world were farther away now.


His only solace was music. Not the songs he and the other merfolk were forced to sing every day but that which he learned from his teacher. He was an old human man named Mano. He'd been sold into slavery after his country had been ravaged by war. He used to be a famous musician in his old kingdom and his skill with a drum saved him from being worked to death as a labor slave. He accompanied the merfolk with a band of other slaves that played in accompaniment to his singing. But when their Celestial Masters weren't looking he'd teach R.J a thing or two on the drums. He'd also taught R.J to not give up hope so long as he lived. Always going on about the power of music to raise spirits and connect hearts.

But tragedy struck when Mano developed arthritis in those masterful hands of his. While he still could play he couldn't do so with the incredible amount of skill he did before. He was replaced with another drummer and thrown into the ranks of the labor slaves. R.J had never heard from him again but it was assumed that he did survive long due to the brutal work and his advanced age. R.J was distraught but forced himself to sing through the pain in his heart.

A month later Fisher Tiger attacked Mariejois. The walls of the prison he was born in were smashed by Tiger himself. Everyone escaped but St. Elazab was determined to see that the crown jewel of her merfolk collection never reached the sea. As her personal wing of the palace flooded she took aim at the fleeing R.J with a rifle and fired. He would have been dead if both his parents hadn't taken the bullets for him. He had no time to mourn them as the marines would be on the ruins of Mariejois soon.

Not long after his escape, he fell into a group of other escapees like him. People with no family to return home to or with. Comprised of different people from all over the Grand Line they created a sort of nomadic circus. Making a living by entertaining folk across the grand line and staying ten steps ahead of any slavers. R.J would hone his skills as a musician and a fighter among them. A run-in with a particularly persistent gang of slavers would lead to them escaping into the south blue via the reverse mountain. R.J would eventually meet and join a certain crew of pirates but that was a story for another time.

Dream: I want to create a song that can link the hearts of all people

MISC What Do You Want For This Character?: I want R.J to learn to trust in the strength of his crewmates. To become someone who strengthens the bonds they have with each other. To learn to share his pain with the people he cares about.

  Backstory: In the workshops of Skpiea Gabriel received a stellar education in all the fields that interested them. There was a lot of freedom in that philosophy, as Gabriel was always able to try anything that they liked, and move onto the next thing without any judgements. But they really found their calling with technology. Dials were always used in Skypiea, and were and endless source of curiosity for the young Gabriel, wanting to break them apart to figure out how they were able to store all of that energy. They would make lots of things with the dials they got a hold of, a flying skateboard with wind dials, a firecracker with impact dials and flame dials, all kinds of things. Their constant experimentation caught the eye of Dr. Engel, a famous scientist in Skypiea who made some amazing inventions for the people of Skypiea.
  
  Gabriel was given a golden opportunity to become his assistant, and for years they studied religiously under the great scientist, learning about the ships that people on the islands below used, and becoming obsessed with them. From that point, Gabriel had a thirst for adventure, and it came a lot sooner than they would have thought. During an experiment where the scientist had been looking to create a flying ship, an explosion occurred, launching Gabriel off of the ship and away from the sky islands with some of the debris. Luckily, they had been launched far enough to land on a small island, where they were able to gather scrap from the flying ship to make a shelter and survive for a while. During their time on the island, they came across the strange fruit, and thinking it was simply something they'd never seen before, they unknowingly consumed the Kame-Kame no mi. After discovering the fruits' effects, Gabriel made a promise to make a ship that could soar the skies and scour the seas so that they could travel wherever they wanted without fear.
  Profession: Shipwright (Engineer)
  Dream: "I want to make a ship that can travel anywhere!"

  What Do You Want For This Character?: I want for Gabriel to be given the opportunity to learn protect other people and grow as a person in that way. Not only that but to be given the opportunity to invent really cool stuff that would help other characters accomplish their goals.

  Age: 22
  Race: Human
  Sexuality: Homosexual
• 
  
  
  Height: 5'10"
  Weight: 145
  Hair Color: Black
  Eye Color: Red
  Skin Color: White
  General Description: Lithe and compact, yet with a stalwart guise—Shun’s body is that of a practiced athlete. His red eyes carry a sense of cruel detachment; they are set in a lean face framed by his black hair. He has long, sharp canines that give him a wolf-like appearance. Pallid skin gives his features an unnatural pallor which accentuates the brightness of his eyes. Long, slim limbs emphasize his physique and he carries himself with an air of confidence.
  Description of Attire/Style: Decorating himself with red or white hues, Shun prefers clothing that allows freedom of movement around his arms. His preference for thin, flowing clothing is offset by thick gloves that cover most of his hands. When moving through cold environments like frozen mountains or forests, he will wear heavier clothes to keep warm. In warmer climates, Shun often wears light linen shirts, adorned with intricate embroidery. These shirts are usually accompanied by a short vest or kimono. On formal occasions, Shun will wear long robes, as well as a sash that ties diagonally across his chest.
• 
  Personality:
  His coldly pragmatic attitude allows him to be indifferent toward those who do not have any value to him. Shun is a man of few words and prefers to let his actions speak for themselves. He will also demonstrate great patience when speaking with others, remaining calm in the face of hostility or provocation. Shun has a strict sense of duty and honor, and will always attempt to carry out his duties without fail. His ability to detach himself from emotion makes it easy for him to remain objective during crucial situations. He uses this detached perspective to carefully consider all possible outcomes before making any decisions. While he may seem like a cold-hearted person, he does feel some empathy for those around him, especially if they have been treated unfairly.
  
  Shun is usually quite casual about most things but remains composed under pressure. In battle, he acts decisively while keeping a cool head, and is able to maintain an unwavering focus on his goal until it's achieved. Despite his apparent indifference, however, Shun is actually quite adept at reading other people. This skill allows him to pick up on subtle hints of feelings and emotions, which he often uses to his advantage by exploiting the weaknesses of others. Shun does not hesitate to use violence to get what he wants, but will only employ lethal force as a last resort. He will first try to negotiate or intimidate his opponents into surrendering peacefully.
  
  Greedy, Shun holds whatever he holds close to his heart. He is quick to take action whenever something valuable is within reach and will stop at nothing to obtain it. While Shun detests being indebted, he will accept favors from others out of necessity but has no qualms about demanding repayment later down the line. Shun is a practical individual and lives solely for his own benefit. He doesn't care much for the opinions of others, and rarely expresses gratitude toward those who help him. While Shun enjoys interacting with people, he tends to keep them at arm's length. He is indifferent toward most things, and rarely shows compassion or concern for others unless it benefits him in some way.
  
  Likes:
  -Fishing: Shun loves fishing, and spends most of his free time relaxing while doing so.
  -Vivisections: Vivisection is a hobby of Shun's, and is something that he finds enjoyable. He enjoys dissecting various animals and viewing the internal structure of their bodies.
  -Taxidermies: Taxidermy is another interest of Shun's, although he doesn't enjoy looking at preserved animal specimens. Instead, he prefers to make his own taxidermic artworks, which he then displays.
  -Insects: Insects are one of Shun's favorite animals, and he likes collecting different types. He keeps many specimen jars in his room, each filled with various insects.
  
  Dislikes:
  -Idle Hands: When idle, Shun tends to fiddle with anything that catches his eye. He'll spend hours peeling away layers of paint off of old sculptures, or rearranging knickknacks in cabinets just to see how they look.
  -Muted Colors: Shun dislikes dull colors, and prefers bright and vibrant hues instead.
  -Thieves: Thieves are one of Shun's greatest enemies, and he considers them to be lower than vermin. He hates the idea of someone taking what isn't theirs and will go to any lengths to ensure that his possessions remain safe.
  -The Cold: Shun despises the cold, and will never willingly venture outside during winter. If forced to visit a cold area, he will wear multiple layers of clothing to protect himself.

  Abilities:
  Acupuncture
  Specialty: Medicine
  Description: The acupuncturist inserts fine needles into specific points on the body. These needles are made of gold, silver, or steel, and have been sterilized to prevent infection. By stimulating these points, the acupuncturist is able to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healthy blood circulation. It is a balancing act based on dualistic cosmic theory. Each point represents a yin and yang aspect of the universe. Inserting the correct needle at the right place on the body is essential to achieving the desired result. Skilled practitioners can manipulate the body to shocking efficiency by infusing the needles with haki and striking key points. These key points are called the meridian—a set of pathways in the body along which vital energy is said to flow.
  
  The Lung channel of Hand, Greater Yin: By striking the meridian of the lungs—starting in the arm, the acupuncture practitioner can infuse a target with a surge of adrenaline. The target enjoys temporarily enhanced strength and vitality, as well as increased lung capacity.
  The Stomach channel of Foot, Yang Bright: By striking the meridian of the stomach (starting in the foot), the acupuncture practitioner can infuse a target with a surge of stomach acids. The target experiences a temporary increase in gastric acid production, causing them to vomit and belch repeatedly. As it subsides, the victim will experience temporary nausea and stunted senses.
  The Liver channel of Mouth, Greater Yin: By striking the meridian of the liver (starting in the mouth), the acupuncture practitioner can infuse a target with a surge of anger. The target experiences a temporary increase in blood pressure and heart rate, accompanied by bursts of rage.
  The Spleen channel of the Eye, Yang Bright: By striking the meridian of the spleen (starting in the eye), the acupuncture practitioner can infuse a target with a surge of pain. All senses of touch are enhanced—especially pain.
  The Kidney channel of Palm, Yang Bright: By striking the meridian of the kidney (starting in the palm), the acupuncture practitioner can infuse a target with a surge of fear. The target experiences a temporary boost in adrenaline, as well as heightened sensitivity to external stimuli.
  
  Strengths:
  -Experienced: Acupuncture is a practice passed down through generations, and is an ancient form of medicine that has been practiced since the dawn of civilization. A master of this profession can perform countless experiments and observations that will lead to new breakthroughs in medical science.
  -Knowledgeable: Acupuncture is a complex field of study, and requires years of training. The experienced acupuncturist is able to treat patients with the utmost precision. They know exactly where to put the needles to maximize effectiveness, and are skilled at removing them without causing additional damage.
  -Skilled: The skilled acupuncturist is able to insert needles in a wide variety of places, and knows how to remove them without inflicting any further harm. Their dexterity and agility allow them to insert and extract needles with ease.
  
  Weaknesses:
  -Stagnant: Acupuncture relies heavily on the existence of meridians, which are invisible pathways inside the human body. Even after decades of study, there are still many unexplored locations within the body. This limits the acupuncturist's options and forces them to rely on traditional methods more often than not. When facing a creature with unknown anatomy, effects may be unpredictable or hampered.
  -UnInnovative: Unlike other healing arts such as surgery and herbology, there is little room for innovation within the world of acupuncture. A master practitioner of this art usually relies on tried-and-true techniques, rather than experimentation. This makes it challenging to treat new illnesses and poisons.
  -Armor: Creatures or people with strong defenders or a rough hide will be hard to penetrate.

  Backstory:
  At the edge of the east blue, Shun’s lineage has practiced medicine for six generations. Shun was born in a small village near the sea. As a child, he spent most of his time exploring the surrounding woods and fields and learning about the plants and animals that lived there. At the age of 10, Shun began apprenticing under his father, a renowned herbalist. During his apprenticeship, he learned the basics of herbalism and alchemy, along with proper methods for preparing medicines. Despite growing up in such a rural environment, Shun still had plenty of opportunities to interact with other people. For much of his childhood, he frequented the nearby town several times per week to purchase supplies and meet with customers. This exposure allowed him to learn about other cultures and customs, which he believes helped him develop a more open mind and tolerant attitude toward others. It was in the form of a friendship with a man called Su that he first discovered the art of acupuncture. Shun found the idea intriguing and decided to study the practice in greater detail.
  
  His parents were left with a sense of unease at his interest in this ancient form of medicine. They were traditionalists—Shun's father grew up studying herbalism under his grandmother, while his mother studied medicine. They believed that modern scientific practices were superior to older forms of healing, and were hesitant to allow Shun to pursue the art of acupuncture. Shun's father was also concerned that his son might become disinterested in the field of herbalism. But, that was already a long and old truth; Shun lost his passion for herbalism when he was a young boy. And so, he continued to study the subject, despite his parents' reservations.
  
  As he got older, Shun became increasingly intrigued by the theories of acupuncture and its origins. He had all but dropped the pursuit of all other expressions of medicine—he retained just enough surface knowledge to pursue his real interest without scrutiny. But his love for this topic was so strong that he didn't mind letting everyone else believe he was completely committed to traditional forms of medical treatment. Secretly, he began treating patients behind his father’s back. He had gotten away with it for several weeks before he got over-ambitious. An older denizen of their village was left partially disabled under his hand. Shun tried to fix the problem with the same method, but it turned out to be far more difficult than he anticipated. The patient survived, and word spread quickly throughout the village. Shun's reputation as a healer was tarnished, and his father's disapproval was clear. His father refused to teach him anymore, and he was expelled from his apprenticeship.
  
  Rather than face continued embarrassment, he wordlessly departed onto the next ship and traveled across the east blue. Pirates were a lot easier to experiment with; their bodies were hard from travel. He went from ship to ship, lending his hand in exchange for other favors. It was a theory of his that haki in conjunction with his art could make for the most noninvasive and efficient form of surgery. For bits of knowledge, he healed and in exchange learned their abilities.
  
  He met a few interesting characters in the course of his travels, yet never stayed in the same crew for long. He always wanted to move on to the next thing, but sometimes he couldn't help but linger a little longer.

  Dream: “I want to prove my father wrong and make acupuncture a world-renowned school of medicine.

  What Do You Want For This Character?: I want him to feel comfortable and secure in his knowledge— to no longer feel the need to prove himself to other people. To just exist and learn the things he enjoys without seeking validation from others or assurance that he is righteous for doing so.

  Personality: Liam is a young and energetic mink who have a rather playful nature. Whenever he fights his foes, Aslan loves to taunt and get under the skin of his enemies. However, when the battle gets tougher, Liam can become serious and more Ruthless. Just like most teenagers, Liam can be abit of a hand full. Still Young and Navie, sometimes he'll get a little ahead of his self
  
  A very playful guy. One thing that Liam enjoys doing other then cooking, it pulling playful pranks on others. Growing up with a bunch of kids' age and even younger kids, caused Liam to grow into somewhat of a goofball. You won't catch him going a day without doing something silly or childish. Despite his playful nature of his, Liam will buckle down and help those close to him. If even, he'll give his life if it meant protecting his family[ soon crew]
  
  There are times when he can become a show off when it comes to cooking, a habit that's kinda hard for him out of thanks to his mink brother always teasing and messing around with him. Overall, Liam is generally a nice guy, with a bit of emotional trauma from his past. He hides these feelings by being happy-go-lucky and carefree

  Abilities:
  

  Electro: Users of Electro can channel electricity through parts of their bodies in order to shock anything they touch.This power can also be channeled through weapons. This technique grants extra damage to attacks, giving the opponents electric burns and paralysis. By transforming into Sulong, minks can emit electricity from their body constantly and can perform stronger attacks.

  Sulong:
  Once a mink stares directly at the full moon, their transformation immediately begins, and after a few seconds, they will have achieved their new form.
  
  In order to initiate the transformation, a mink must have a clear, unobstructed view of the moon, being unable to undergo Sulong should the moon be covered by clouds, a roof, or whatever else.A mink can also shroud their eyes from the moon's light to avert their transformation; even tinted glasses will effectively shield them.

  Backstory: Of course being a mink, Liam was born in Zou..but for him, that wasn't the case. Liam's parents were busy body, sailing from place to place with a human and fishmen friend. they weren't necessarily pirates, but traveling merchants. thankfully, the fishmen that was with them had skills in the medical field and helped delivered the baby who the mink parents named Liam. Such a beautiful moment..with tragedy waiting for the happy little group in the future.
  
  a year later on a pretty clear night, the merchant group was preparing to set sail to another island on the grand line. However, a group of marines who mistaken the group for pirates at cornered them. although they begged and cried, the marines weren't going to listen and a fate worse than prison awaited them. They were captured and taken to Sabaody Archipelago to be sold as slaves. First the Fishman, then his parents, the human...well..his fate was unknown, but for Liam his self he was to be sold a celestial dragon..thus, the mark of slavery was embedded onto his back
  
  At the time, he was too young to actually do anything so another slave was in his care..a human woman. as the days passed, Liam would watch this woman, who he considered to be a mother to him cook whenever she wasn't teaching him. It was something about the way she cooked..the passion behind it and the joy it brought her. To her, cooking was a mean of keeping her spirits high despite her situation. He didn't understand what it meant, but he wanted to try and he soon would find it a joyful
  
  The past seven years for Liam was hell, but his caretaker made it slightly better. Unfortunately, she grew ill and all the pressure on him. Cooking for the monster that bonded him..it was awful. Liam wasn't the best cook around, but he tried his best..however his best wasn't enough. The celestial dragon deemed the young mink as useless and through more hard work for him. What comes next was shocking, something that rarely happens in the world noble's world
  
  Liam's caretaker was ready to give her life to help him escape. Preparing three days worth of food and water before springing her plan into action. Sadly, she was killed..but he escaped on a small boat tied to a dock. five long days passed, Liam boat just drifted on the sea, birds circled his him waiting for his doom. A tragic end to a tragic story...unless a miracle would magically happen
  
  A middle-aged human man and a teenage puma mink found Liam on the boat, thanks to the bird hovering over him. By a stroke of luck, they did have something for him to eat..but he was to weak to stay awake. In fact, they slept until they completed a errand and headed back to their home back a water 7. Liam finally woke up, seeing young children around his age staring down. Where was he? an orphanage
  ran by said man. Different kinds of races..different age groups.. all lived here..but he and the puma mink were the only minks..thus a special kind of bond sparked
  
  Liam's days in water 7 went better than his previous life. the man became a father to him, the other kids became like siblings, as the puma mink..the bond became a deep one. Not only was he a great fighter, but the puma was also in charge of feeding the orders. As for liam, he helped his mink brother out with cooking although he was bad, but with a little guidance, Liam became a great cook. Not only was the orphanage was impressed, but most of water 7 discovered this hidden talent that was "the mink brothers." their skills not only kept the orphanage alive, but smiles people's faces. "Big chef and little chef" the best duo ever.
  
  Cooking was great and all, but Liam had to also hone in on his abilities as a mink, Electro. A difficult journey since he showed no signs of showing of ability, at the end, he turned out to be a decent fighter.
  
  "Seeing the smiles on people's faces, the look of joy on their faces when they take that first bite. It's the best feeling in the world. Little chef, no matter who, when..or were..the first rule of a cook is to make something that will put their minds at ease."
  
  "Something that will knock their socks off right?"
  
  "Heh, yeah! make sure you don't burn the food to a crisp! kidding. Ya know, the world is big..seeing all kinds of people eat my food, impressing kings and queens, that's a dream come true. peace with food, it's crazy isn't it."
  
  "Peace with food...?"
  
  "yeah! but it's kinda outta reach for me, i gotta stay here and help pops, but for you~ i think you might can pull it off for me."
  
  traveling across the seas..cooking for all kinds of people, spreading joy with food..impressing royalty. Could he honestly do it? Liam wasn't sure, but he was going to try either way
  
  
  Profession: Cook
  
  Dream: " I want to impress everyone across the world with my cooking. Even kings and queens. Hopefully, ease the world as well.."

  What Do You Want For This Character?: Note: I feel as though these sorts of conversations are sparse and nonexistent at character creation, but as me (the story planner) and you (the player) interact through RP, I feel like it’s a good idea to know what you want for your character as the story progresses. What do you want them to learn? How do you want them to grow/change? You may be as specific or vague as you’d like with this, but remember the more I know about what you want from them, the more you will get from me if your character is accepted! You can feel free to edit this section as much as you want as we on in the RP.
  
  Theme Song: Note: This does not need to be anime original or from one piece! It can be whatever you think fits your character best. This is not required.
