[CHAR] One Piece: A New Era Unfolding

[ManoftheNorth]

Name: Alister Valencia
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Side: Pirate
Crew: Currently no crew.
Position: Pirate Gunslinger, no current employment or Crew position.
Appearance: Alister is rather short comparatively, standing only 5'9". However his height is no mention to his strength. Alister is trim, but lean and somewhat chiseled for his height and figure. He is agile and dexterous due to this physique. His eyes are a deep brown with gentle tints of blue. His hair is long and blonde, and thick as well. He almost always keeps it in a pony-tail, and the thick blonde tail loves to bush out, and then slim down to a point at the end, which reaches just above his belt. His skin is tan but fair and rather spotless, save for a single fresh scar. This scar is a long slice, it starts at the top of his right collar bone and then stretches all the way down to the bottom of his right side. It descends at a steep angle, curling around the side very little at the end.

Type: Devil Fruit User
Devils fruit: Ursa-Ursa Fruit Model: Dire Bear - Ancient Zoan - The Ursa-Ursa Fruit Model: Dire Bear is a fruit that resembles the shape of a pear, but it upside down on the stem, and the large half is wider and shorter. It's color is a slate grey, with the outer-edge of each swirl being accented a light brown.

Ability: The Ursa-Ursa fruit Model: Dire Bear allows the wielder to transform into a massive Dire Bear, as well as a Hybrid form, as all other Zoan Devil Fruits do, however this fruit is classified as an Ancient Zoan Model, which offers more power than a normal Zoan. However it comes with it's curve, as Alister has yet to master it by any means, and often loses control when transforming, and can even be spurred into a transformation by great emotions.

Personality: Alister is often a cheerful man with a smile and a nod to those who pass him by and a word of welcome to any he might speak to or meet. He values freedom and adventure, the right of the spirit to search and plunder the unknown, however that led him to a bit of a lesser life. He fights and stands for his ideals, and those around him, but isn't unlikely to fight with those who are close, if they try to also go against his beliefs. He can be a firecracker and an ice-cube all at once. Calm and cool one moment, then exploding and popping off all around the next, and it is wise for most to keep their distance.

(work in process)

Name: Ezekiel Cross
Gender: Male
Side: Pirate
Crew: Currently 35 strong
Position: Captain of the Cross Pirates
Appearance: Looming at six foot three inches, Captain Cross reeked with an air of ruthlessness. A hickory brown, braided, beard, dripping with crosses and beads, fell down to the upper part of his collar bone. His dreadlocked hair was twisted and mangled falling every which way. Upon his face, laying smack dab in the center, was a scar in the form of a cross. It would seem he didn't want people to forget his name. The tip of the cross began at the top of his forehead and cascaded down to split the middle of his mustache with the perpendicular line of the cross, lining, his cheeks. His eyes were as blue as the sky, with a depth that almost rivaled one of Calypso's whirlpools. A mahogany colored coat draped over his shoulders, his hairy, bare, chest shown underneath, reached down to the top of his dusty, charcoal grey boots. Just like the style of many Captains in this time, he did not put his arms through the coat sleeves itself, so it would seem that it acted more as a cape then anything else.
Type: Logia Devil Fruit
Devils fruit: Earth-Earth Fruit (if you guys could help me with what the actual name would be translated to I would be much appreciated)
Ability: When his ability is in use he can become dirt itself. Extending his body out to pelt, smother, and even bury his foes. With the water being the natural enemy of the Devil Fruit users, he feels his ability will definitely aid in detouring that weakness.
Personality: A stoic man who has a thousand yard stare. His crew knows that he expects the best out of them and, thusly, runs a strict ship. There is a known fine line that runs through his ship: the line between fear and respect his crew has for him. Fear only shows it's ugly head when the crew knows they have messed up and are expecting him to act in kind to their actions. On the flip side, they understand his loyalty that he holds for his crew. Never will he back down from defending the newest member all the way up to his first mate Elvira.

[Travesty]

Name: Nicholas Rigel

Gender: Male

Side: Marine

Crew: Marine G-5

Position: Rear Admiral

Appearance:

Hider

Type: Superhuman

Devil's Fruit: None

Abilities: Nicholas can use Haki, particularly the Bosushoku Haki. This enables him to reinforce his attacks to deal more damage, and to bypass certain protection a Devil's Fruit user has. Aside from Haki, Nicholas is also an accomplished Roukushiki user. He can use all six techniques efficiently, but he particularly specializes in Soru deeming him the 2nd fastest man in Marine Ford (Kizaru being the first). The technique gives him the usual advantage of moving in high speed, but he has done a couple of variations to it as well, mixing it with other Rokushiki techniques with Haki imbued attacks for extra damage.

Personality: Usually, Nicholas is easy-going, frielndly, and always has a smile on his face. He is loved by his collegues, and even the people who works under him. He is known as a just man, and will stand for what he thinks is right. He is a little stubborn though and hates being held down against his will.

Bio: He came from the island of Pol in East Blue. The island was supposed to be the center of astrological studies, and for thousands of years, it was being inhabited by astronomers and scientist to study heavenly bodies. Both Nicholas's parents were scientists in this island. They were happy for a time, satisfied with what they do and the sense of peacefulness they have in the island, until all of that was taken away when a certain group of pirates invaded Pol. His parents was quick to notice that there was something wrong in town, and so they hid Nicholas along with other important stuff in a cargo crate at the bottom of their basement hoping that no one will notice him there. Nicholas hid all night, he heard explosions, gun fires, sounds of metal clashing, and cries from a far. The sounds tormented him. Scared, he cried long enough that exhaustion soon took over. The next morning when he woke up, he heard voices of men talking just above of his crate. He burst out of his box then screamed on top of his lungs hoping it'll scare them away. Sure they were startled, but they didnt walked away as he expected. The men exchanged looks then one of them lift Nicholas up from the crate. They told him that they are Marines who came to help the villagers from the raiding pirates, but they arrived a little too late and could save only a few. Unfortunately his parents didnt make it. One of the men offered to take care of Nicholas, and with his village destroyed and having no where to go, Nicholas agreed to go with them. From there on out, he trained to become a Marine himself hoping that by doing so he could save lives, and could prevent another tragedy like the one happened to his little island of Pol.
