La Soul [B]Age:[/B] 21 [B]Race:[/B] Human [B]Height and Weight:[/B] 6 feet 3 inches. And weighs a solid 165 pounds. [B]Pirate or Marine:[/B] Pirate [B]Bounty:[/B] 0 Beli.... For now MWUHAHAHA!! [B]Personality:[/B] Soul doesn't believe in limits. Since his childhood he's had a problem with authority, growing up as a juvenile without parental guidance. Due to his constant and trademark smile me appears to be a tower of joy. This is correct, he lives for adrenaline, excitement, unexpected events. He feels he should flow with the tides of change, so he doesn't expect anything out of anybody or any situation. He has a personal understanding in life that death comes for everyone, if it's his day it was destined. Fate escapes no man, so he lives everyday like his last, engorging himself with expensive liquids and foods. He has a natural survival instinct gained when he was growing up a street urchin. He will be all means give his all to survive. [B]History:[/B] Soul is originally from a ghost town in Minion island. Abandoned by his father (an unsuccessful pirate) to sail the seas, Soul was left in the care of loving though struggling scavenging family. The young boy always dreamed of a life of luxury, 10 course meals rather then the plain rice which is all his guardians could afford. At a young age Soul realized he had to take his life into thy own hands. This started his streak of delinquency in his early teens, which truely started his fall to piracy. Within months of fighting and robbing he'd established a steady income for his family, clothes, food. "We'll survive" he used to tell his aging adoptive parents. Though at one point in time Soul was very comfortable, never leaving the ghost town unless it pertained to pillaging docked merchant ships, eventually he realized the flaw in this. The true life of luxury was in the seas, taking what you want giving nothing back. Going to the source of wealth, game, and power.....The Grand Line. During his 6 month preparation for sailing the seas, he met two odd individuals. The first; Flagrant Hugo, a loud mouth psychotic child. Soul found Hugo dissecting a group of corpses inside of an abandoned home in his ghost town, though Soul was unaware of anyone else living in such a place. Come to find out the little boy Hugo was eating the bodies to survive. To his disgust and curiosity Soul seen the survival instinct within Hugo and invited him in his journey. Hugo with the goal of eating the most strongest man of the world with his own theory of gaining power joined up with little persuasion. Next came Mama Sam. Sam worked on Minion island as a shipwright for most of her life. Using her immense size and strength to easily haul wood and other building essentials with little effort. On one fateful, Soul and Hugo mistakenly took a marine ship for a merchant ship. Sneaking on board Soul came across a mythical zoan devil fruit. Upon consuming Soul experienced uncontrollable coughs and burps of flames, revealing his presence by burning down the ship. Now with the Marines attention, overwhelmed by numbers the fight was sadly uneven. A unknown skilled swordsman even managed to claim Soul's left arm. When everything was virtually lost, a seemingly large boulder fell from the sky destroying the dock which the battle took place. Soul and Hugo were last seen drowning. In actuality it was Mama Sam utilizing her strength to destroy the dock and escape with the two in a prototype submarine the Marines had ordered her to repair. The distraction caused by Hugo and Soul allowed Sam to obtain the work of machinery, and as thanks she saved their life. After fully coming to his senses, and Hugo doing all he could to patch him up, it didn't take much for Soul to convince MaMa to join on his adventure. In return he promised her that he'd help her fulfill her dream of seeing the ruins of the fabled Noah; a colossal ship of legend. And now they set sail towards the East from the North to achieve greatness in their own rite. [B]Abilities:[/B] [hider=Tatsu Tatsu No Mi, Model Eastern Dragon (Dragon-Dragon Fruit)] Type: Zoan Sub-type: Mythical Zoan A dark green sugar cane with light orange inner color, with many s-shaped marks like the Gomu Gomu No Mi Being a carnivorous zoan user Soul has an exceptional growth in strength and aggression in combat. His physical attributes are boosted when his devil fruit is activated. The scales of Soul are fire resistant, and as he continues to master his fruit they continue to strengthen. This Zoan-type fruit allows Soul to turn into a dragon (the snake-like chinese dragon, think the size of Drake's T-Rex), giving the user also the ability to breathe fire and partially regenerate limbs. After limb removal Soul may only grow a limb back when using his devil fruit ability, unless it was severed while activated. The user cannot fly freely due to lack of wings. Instead Soul was granted with The Glide. In his human or hybrid form he has access to boundless leaps, which he uses at his advantage for quick escapes or gaining advantages in combat. [/hider] **Soul has only learned the ability of partial transformations and low level fire breathing** Techniques: WIP Inventory: Will update throughout the RP.
