[quote=@Rin] Whee~ It took me a while to figure out what to do with her powerwise, but then I realized since this is an AU and One Piece wouldn't feel right without this specific powerset, well... May as well grab it. ^^; Also I couldn't resist that particular epithet. [hider=Marine] [list] [*]Appearance: [url=http://sta.sh/01jaqm4eax11]Pretty tall; about 6'5".[/url] [*]Name: Nomiki Depalma [*]Gender: Female [*]Nicknames/Aliases: Miki [*]Epithet: The Long Arm of the Law [*]Age: 25 [*]Bounty: N/A [*]Hometown: East Blue, Rogueport. [*]Marine Rank: Captain [*]Role: Captain? If not then First Mate. [*]Abilities & Skills: Nomiki is an exceptionally skilled unarmed combatant, which is only enhanced by her Devil Fruit powers. She's also pretty strong and atheletic, although not superhumanly so (at least by the standards of the One Piece universe; compared to our world she'd probably pretty much be Captain America really), and was a rather accomplished swimmer before she ate the Gum-Gum Fruit. [*]Devil Fruit: [url=http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Gomu_Gomu_no_Mi]Gum-Gum Fruit (Gomu-Gomu no Mi)[/url]. Since we all know it I assume I don't really need to list the specifics of it, but I will at least note that she has not figured out the Gears yet and rarely if ever uses the balloon techniques due to having a personal distaste for them. [*]Equipment: Nomiki's clothing is specially tailored to work alongside her Gum-Gum powers, ensuring that it is flexible, stretchy and does not rip whilst she is putting her powers to work. [*]Personality: Nomiki is overly serious to a fault. She treats any task, no matter what, with a stern disposition and a solemn, deadpan attitude... Even tasks where acting in such a way would make her look somewhat ridiculous. Nomiki is in fact so serious-minded that she is unable to understand the concepts of sarcasm, and jokes tend to either fall flat to her or are taken completely seriously. She is utterly devoted to the law, and firmly believes herself to be acting in the name of justice by taking down criminal pirates, which to her is a rather redundant term because all pirates are criminals. Some may try and pretend they're actually good people, but this is clearly a clever ruse used to convince weaker minded people to aid them. Piracy is a crime, and all crimes must be put to the blade of justice (or in this case, the rubber fist of justice); however, she also believes that actually killing pirates should only be a last resort. After all, how can they pay for their crimes if they're dead? Gold Roger was an exception, of course; as the most infamous of all pirates, clearly he was also the most heinous criminal amongst them and death was the only fitting punishment. Despite her serious nature, Nomiki has one rather silly weakness aside from the ocean, and that is that she has a rather crippling body image problem. Specifically, she is easily embarrassed and flustered by anyone mentioning her wide hips and large bottom; she thinks it's weird and can easily be thrown off her guard if attention is drawn to it. [*]Biography: Whilst it may not be her earliest memory, the first memory Nomiki made that really stuck with her was of death. Not any death, mind you, but quite possibly the most important death the oceans had ever seen, one that signalled the birth of a new era... For as a child, she was present amongst the crowds at the execution of Gold Roger. And in her eyes, this symbolized not the birth of the golden age of pirates, but a reminder of the eventual fate that awaits all pirates and their criminal brethren. Not even the famous King of the Pirates could escape the iron hand of justice, after all, and if the greatest of these lawless crooks could be made to answer to the law then so could the rest of them. This thought stuck with her as she grew up, eventually joining the Marines to enforce justice upon those who thought themselves outside the law, most notably the hated pirates. Her devotion to the cause of justice coupled with her serious, determined nature led to her quickly moving up the ranks, until one fateful day when she crossed paths with remnants of the Pirate King's old crew. Despite putting up a good fight, the marines were unable to apprehend them, but they did manage to seize some of their cargo... Amongst which was, curiously, a strange purple fruit whose skin bared a swirled pattern. Naturally, Nomiki brought this fruit to her at-the-time superior officer and questioned what to do with it, and in response he joked that she should just eat it. Before any of the assembled officers could tell her it was just a joke, however, she had already bitten into it and swallowed... And from that day forth, she was cursed with the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit, turning her body into rubber and granting her super-stretching abilities at the cost of never being able to set foot in the ocean again. She did not let this weakness deter her, though, as her career continued to progress rather steadily (somewhat faster than before, even, thanks to her newfound powers), and soon she was put at the head of her own crew.

It's not really that important to her character, which is why it's just mentioned here rather than anywhere else, but there you go.

He is fond of the art of dancing and poses, implementing flash and style when he feels it fitting.

Paredes was born in the Hot-Spring Island, where he lived a life full of joy and merriment. His father and mother were renowned dancers who taught the craft to their dear son. Calixto took to it quickly. Eventually a gang of pirates attacked and looted a section of the island and Calixto was caught in the cross-fire. He realized what an important role the World Government was, helping put these criminals away. And so, the boy trained to master his dance and fighting skills so that he could become a proper Marine. And that he did, as he would eventually rise up to the rank of Captain. Now Calixto seeks to bring down pirates to secure the safety of the civilians of the world.
