Heaven's Garden:
Heaven's Garden is a small island at the beginning of The Grand Line, hidden just within th Calm Belt. The island was originally a landmass filled with only plants, trees, and a thousand or so different kinds of bugs, but there were no animals or humans. However, this all changed when Stefan Walch stumbled upon it, and after just a few hours on the island, he decided to make it his home.

Through the years the island has gone through some rather drastic changes. Stefan gathered seeds, roots, plants, and dwarves from all over the world, bringing them back to Heaven's Garden to make the island into what he viewed as the perfect garden. A place where any plant could grow and every flower could bloom.

Brian is by no means a big man. He is rather petite for a man his age, standing just short of 5'6 with a rather slim build, and thanks to his lack of height and build he often gets mistaken for an 18, maybe even a 16-year-old. Brian has a set of light amber eyes and shoulder length blond hair with a few darker whips here and there.

Brian was from a young age taught how to dress, often opting to wear white long-sleeved shirts, black vests, and black pants, but he wouldn't be caught dead wearing t-shirts with logos or hoodies. Proper posture is something that Brian strives for, always trying to stand straight with his shoulders slightly back, but he has a tendency to slouch over when he thinks nobody is looking.

Despite being born into high society, a life where Brian could have just laid on his back and enjoyed himself as the days passed, he is surprisingly hardworking, more than willing to get a bit dirty, bruised, and potentially bloodied if it is required. He values order and structure, as it calms him down, allowing him to focus on what is in front of him and stopping his mind from wandering elsewhere, as it has a nasty habit of doing that if he is stressed out. Other than that, he wishes to avoid useless skirmishes, believing that violence for violence sake is stupid and that you should only bear arms in an effort to protect yourself or who/what is important to you.

Brian is extremely good with plants, knowing his way around most flowers, trees, and well, pretty much anything that grows. On a ship, he can be useful for all kinds of small chores, things like cleaning, keeping a lookout, or helping the chef.

Brian dreams of one day restoring Heaven's Garden by bringing back the lost plants and trees that littered the island, to return the island to the sanctuary his father meant for it to be. Furthermore, he also wants to see what the world has to offer, and what lies beyond the shores of Heaven's Garden.

A side goal of his is to recruit more dwarves to work and live on Heaven's Garden.

Brian wants to travel the world for several reasons, and tho he isn't a huge fan of pirates (giving that some of them killed his family), he feels it will be easier to traverse the Grand Line with people by his side.

For years Brian lived on a secluded island in the Grand Line, surrounded by nothing other than his family, a colony of dwarves, and the massive sprawling gardens that they cared for. Brian and the Walsh family lived a good life, enjoying the riches his father had gathered throughout the years, and having very few worries.

The dwarves living on the island became Brian's best friends. He joined them as they tended to the gardens, working beside them, learning their tips and tricks. He found the small creatures incredibly fascinating and fun, they could do things he could never dream off, and even tho they were small, they had the strength of a giant. Through the years they thought him a set of acrobatic tricks, like how he could jump higher, back and front flips, and a slue of other aerial maneuvers. It amused his father (Stefan Walsh) to see his son jumping around and playing with the dwarves, but the rest of his family couldn't have cared less, they saw it as nothing else than pointless exercises.

Heaven's Garden was a great place to grow up. The island rarely saw pirates as the Calm Belt was a place most people avoided, and in the few times someone did come across the island, the dwarves were more than equipped to deal with them. That was until an especially rough set of pirates came upon the island. They raided the whole island, destroying or stealing everything in their path, and the dwarves couldn't stop them. 3/4's of the Walsh family was wiped out that day, leaving Brian as the only human left on the island, as the dwarves managed to drag him to safety before the pirates found him.

The remaining dwarves and Brian tried to restore the island, but it was to no use. Whole species of plants had been wiped out, and others struggled for survival. So Brian decided that there was only one option left, he would have to leave Heaven's Garden in order to bring back the missing flora. The dwarves were hesitant, knowing that the boy would easily get swallowed by the dangerous world. So, before he left, they taught Brian the basics of combat, incorporating the tricks they had taught him through the years, giving him a quick crash course before transporting him off to the nearest island, a place called Twin Capes.

Tontatta Combat, Big Boy edition.

Weapon Based

Tontatta Combat is a fighting style native to the dwarfs of Tontatta Kingdom. It's a close range combat style that relies upon full body motion, incorporating spins, flips, and other such movements. The dwarfs use their hands and tails to fight, but Brian does not have a tail, so he has taken to using his legs and lance instead.

Brian's version Tontatta Combat is very similar to the dwarfs, but he lacks their tail and raw physical strength, so he relies more on precision and speed than the dwarfs. He doesn't go out searching for a fight, but Brian isn't the kind to run away either, aka, he won't start an unnecessary fight, but he will finish it.

Brian excels in close quart combat in areas where there are items or buildings he can jump onto and of off to gain height and unexpected attack angles. He prefers enemies with low defenses and slow movements.

His ideal scenario is any scenario where he can surprise his enemy, taking them down with just a single blow.

Outside of combat Brian is rather nimble, able to jump up to extremely high places, and he can run pretty damn fast.

There are a few kinds of enemies that will prove a challenge for Brian to take down. People with high defenses that can withstand the kicks, stabs, and punches he throws their way, long ranged combatants that can take him down from afar, and Logia users, but then again, most people struggle against a Logia user.

Brian's worst case scenario is to be forced to fight in straight hallways against ranged attackers. It would leave him with no areas to hide or place from where he could launch surprise attacks.

As mentioned, Brian isn't a powerhouse and lacks raw physical strength. He won't be able to carry or hold a heavy item for long periods of time, that is if he can even get them off the ground.

Brian hasn't been in any big fights or fought an incredibly high number of people, but he has been training for years. Heaven's Garden has never faced huge issues with pirates (except that one time) or other unwelcome guests, but in the few cases it has, Brian and the dwarfs were called upon to protect the island. It resulted in a small skirmish here and there, but the dwarfs always dealt with the heavy hitters, leaving Brian to deal with the rookies. So while Brian doesn't have much experience fighting, he has the basics down, and with time he will hopefully refine his skills.

A lance
Brian's lance is not very pretty to look at, but it gets the job done. It rivals him in length, as it measures to 5 feet from tip to tip, but it is surprisingly light, weighing in at only 3 kg (6.6 pounds). The lance can be taken apart, splitting into two parts, the base/handle, and the pointy end, this is mainly done for cleaning or storage purposes.

The pointy end has a sharp metal edge that spirals all the way from the base up to the tip, very much like a screw or something similar.

Tail Hammer: By jumping high into the air Brian positions himself over the target and then kicks down (the dwarfs would have used their tail.). It is very similar to Sanji's Concassé (Crush).

Needle: Using his incredible speed Brian kicks off the ground launches himself towards the target. Rather similar to Shark Darts.

Shattering Lance: Brian stabs his lance at what he perceives as weak points in his opponent's armor. Hoping to dismantle, ruin the armor, or create himself an opening for upcoming attacks.

Tontatta/Big boy Swing: A dwarf would have grabbed the leg/feet of an opponent and swung them around, but for Brian, that isn't an option. Instead, he stabs the tip of his lance into the ground, taking a firm grip on the lances hilt before swinging himself around, kicking the opponent in the side.

As time goes, I want Brian to improve as a fighter, potentially learning some kind of Haki (most likely armament). As a person I want him to become a bit more cutthroat, for him to learn that even if a fight isn't necessary, it might be the best way to solve a situation. I also want him to surpass his father as an explorer, for him to go places his father could never even dream off.

Brian will improve his fighting technics as time goes, learning new ways to use his lance while also sharpening his acrobatic skills.

As if I haven't mentioned them enough, I would enjoy if the crew came upon a set of or an island of dwarves. This would be a place for Brian to learn a thing or two, while also making an attempt to have a few of them go to Heaven's Garden. Or, the crew could stumble upon the people that ruined Heaven's Garden.

I don't think there is anything for me to add here.

Her alias couldn't be more on the nose than it already is when it comes to her appearance. Her stature makes her seem like a mere desert flower needing to be sheltered from all manner of weather to preserve it's beauty. Batting eyes and soft laughs easily hide the wiry strength that has been built over the years as a dancer. Her skin is surprisingly pale despite constant exposure to sunshine as her special lotions prevent harsh sunburns that plague her if she isn't careful. However, her work has changed her through the years as her bare feet are calloused and her fingers blister if she pushes herself too hard. While her hands have a few scars here and there from mishaps with her chakrams' nicking her hands during a performance..or the occasional fight.

Her true pride comes in her waist length hair as pink as the setting sunset on her home island. Glossy due to various oils she carefully applies every night without fail to keep it's shine. While it is normally swept up into a ponytail or braid to keep it from her face while performing. Her mood for the day can be noted by the various colored silk ties that she uses to keep her hair back in as companions can come to tell. Occasionally she will allow her hair to loose about her, making her seem much younger than her actual age much to her dismay.

Her attire and presence are in direct conflict with one another on a daily basis. Her footfalls are exceptionally light and she prefers to glide through a crowd as easily as possible without bumping into others. Her posture is lady-like minus her habit of toying with her bangles in an effort to distract herself or is lost thought. While her actual attire is a mixture of provocative and elegance. Fine white silk cloth covers her chest and bottom in the style of a dancer from her native island. While black translucent silk covers her arms and upper thighs. The thigh portions has teasing slits that seem to expand while she dances, just to draw eyes to her performance. While golden and copper bangles decorate her wrists clinking together with the slightest movement as a pacer of sorts. While the chakrams are in similar styling kept about her waist on either hip for easy reach. Bare feet are expected, aside from in the harshest conditions.

There are two distict masks that Marina chooses to display, with her actual personality lying somewhere in between. The first mask is that of an entertainer as her smiles are freely given as her cheeks flush at the slightest affection. Flirtatious to anyone willing to give her compliment and a tip or two. While one on one, she can be bit more reserved, but still cheerful as expected of her profession.
While on her downtime around strangers, she is much more closed-off and finds it harder to relax. Curious as wanderer, but will clam up if asked about her own affairs. Around companions, the masks seem to blurr together as she can still be a bit guarded around topics that consider her own history. Yet, she isn't one to shy away trying to make a more innocent crew mate turning crimson after making a flirtatious comment or two..or retorting back sarcastically.

The only topic that seems to foul her mood is her family and a few select incidents that make her blood boil. While her family is like a closing wound it will take time for her to actually speak of them without venom in her voice due to circumstances in which she left them.
While incidents of persistently obnoxious suitors seeking a private 'dance' resulting in a broken nose and a twisted ankle after shoving the man into a post for a lecherous suggestion. Another button would be constant disruptions to her practice as it does take effort for her claim the profession as an dancer worth a performance or two.

Has some talent when it comes to botany at least for entertainment purposes in making sweet smelling perfumes that seem to add just a touch to her performance..and who doesn't enjoy smelling nice. While despite her immense loathing for it, she is decent at sewing and can do basic needlework to patch up a hole or two..medical application does vary. Yet, when it comes to her profession as a dancer it is something she does take pride in as a performance can be a simple distraction or to have someone lower their guard. While her talents as a musician are limited to percussion focused instruments such as tambourines and thimbles useful for keeping time in her steps.

Short Term Goals: Collect various jewelry pieces from each Island ranging from an earring to a precious necklace..as precious memories of her adventures and to share with her sisters back home.

Long Term Goals: Make a name for herself as a dancer to hold a performance to draw every single eye to her art. Dance to every single type of beat known to man from the simple violin to the clashing of blades in the heat of battle. To prove to herself that can hold her own on a pirate's crew.

As a traveler with a non-fixed income, it can be tedious trying to save up money for passage from island to island. Not to mention there a few islands of rumor that the 'normal' ships wouldn't dare go near due to danger..while a pirate crew it can just be another adventure. Besides it is worthwhile traveling with companions that be trustworthy in difficult situations.

Born and raised in Alabasta as the daughter of caravan merchants, so traveling is in her blood, although not to the scope that she does in the present. While life on the road was busy, it was kept entertaining as Marina was one of five girls and a overprotective elder brother who spent much of the time keeping his rambunctious sisters in check. That isn't to say it all was sunshine and rainbows as Marina loathed her expected role as a caretaker from laundry to cooking..but lived for the chance to watch performers, with one eventually taking a shine to her. Her mentor was a juggler and notable womanizer, but in her naive eyes one of the most handsome men she had ever met. Mentorship turned into a relationship, despite the five year age difference with Marina at sixteen and her mentor a twenty-one..that wasn't the problem for her parents. It was unstable profession..how else would he be able to provide for their darling daughter and any children she would be lucky to have.

Love can survive many things, but in the harsh dunes of Alabasta, money or the lack of it can easily spell the end of romance. So Marina was left to her parents as her lover departed to the seas promising to return once wealthy enough to provide for her. Life wasn't a simple fairy tale as Marina's yearning faded as the years passed by and hope turned into ash. By the age of eighteen with her elder siblings having broods of their own, her parents began pestering her about the future. One fight led to another as Marina found herself on the deck of a departing ship with fury in her heart.

Parents have a horrible ability to be right it seems as she finds herself almost broke at Twin Capes with her need to wander creeping up on her day by day. What could go wrong with joining a simple pirate crew?

Ikle Clan

Markus Ikle and Rosa Ikle (Parents)

Marina's loving parents that make their living as merchants in the Desert Kingdom of Alabasta. Not on great terms with their daughter due to her departure.

Argus Flek (Lover?)
Her first love that departed from her homeland in search of wealth to provide security for Marina. Whereabouts currently unknown due to lack of communication. Marina still harbors feelings for the man..with surprisingly loyalty. His own faithfulness is questionable given the rumors circulating these days.

Silk Hiding Steel

Instrument and Weapon Based

Her fighting style is a mixture of grace and blades as she is light on her feet to easily skirt incoming blades with a giggle or two. Her own weapons aren't meant to deal killing-blows, but cause irritating and hopefully debilitating ones as the target wastes their stamina in hopes of trying to catch her off guard. Poking and prodding with barbed insults to work up a target into an emotional fluster makes it all the easier to fatigue them with each swing.

Solo duels aren't her style as she prefers to play the field and assist comrades where she can either by drawing an opponent's attention or help relieve some pressure of a crowded situation. However, she isn't stupid enough to dive headlong into combat without having a plan in mind nor is she exactly brave to step up as a front row fighter.

Her strongest advantage over any opponent is her mobility to easily draw out combat situations to fatigue an opponent by letting him/her attempt to land blows. In terms of a defensive fight with her on the outside, users of heavy weaponry such as hammers etc can be easy pickings once worn down a bit as long as she is confident enough to take them on. While similar weapon users users such as lighter blades or daggers are perfect matches to fight against as long as she can keep up her own stamina in delivering or blocking blades.

Gun-users are her worse nightmare as she can't exactly fight back without the risk of being hit by a bullet or two in an effort to even get close to her target. While herself against multiple combatants isn't favorable either as her stamina can't withstand it for long.
Experienced swordsmen can easily toy with her own skills until only retreating is left until her back is against the wall.

Took up her chakrams only two year ago after one too many incidents with rowdy customers or seedier taverns after a long day of work. She can handle herself somewhat, but could use a bit of teaching by an experienced swordsmen to teach her combat techniques and methods to help train body for it.

Chakrams. In the simplest terms circular rings with blades spikes along the outside. Forged with hot steel and then painted a luminous golden color to look somewhat normal with her dancing attire. The weapons themselves are used like daggers for slicing in arc-like motions and for short range stabs. Able to be thrown, but have to be retrieved which can be a poor idea as the weapons work best in a pair. One to act as a defensive weapon and the other offensive..or dual-wielding for an all out offense.

One-Step: Brings down her left chakram in a downward arc

Two-Step: Follows up from One-Step with her right chakram in an upward arc.

Dance with Me!: Uses a bit of spare silk wrap to tie around an opponent's limb before dancing away in an effort to pull them off balance.

Eyes on Me!: Flirts a bit in combat before drawing them in for a kiss or two..only to disappoint with a knee to the face.

Finale: A last ditch effort to finish off a fight by physically throwing her chakrams at an opponent and fleeing the scene while her weapons remain behind, hopefully to be collected eventually.

She hopes to become more trusting of people without being so guarded about her personal issues. To truly find her comfort zone outside the aura of performing, time with the crew should be able to her succeed in that. Finally accepting her parents' love and reconciling with them..despite all these years. Falling in love with an honest and good man.

Improving her talents in combat under the guidance of a fellow swordsmen on the crew until she is capable of fighting alongside the rest of the crew for the entire engagement instead of buckling under pressure or stress. Possible learning varied assassination styles of fighting.

Possible reunion with her once-lover? As well as returning to Alabasta for a small family reunion..

Her parents weren't exactly common merchants, but dealt in black market goods and had less than reputable clients. Spy networks were another family business hence their occasional alliance with entertainers..in order to gain information through them. This disgusts Marina as she sees her dancing as a way to show her art to the world..not to pervert it for darker purposes..outside of defending herself. Or so she justifies that..it isn't exactly her favorite topic point to discuss.

The Suicide Snake, Asclepius

Doctor

Devil Fruit Human - The Venom-Venom Fruit

Jiatsu Yaboku is the daughter of a Vice Warden of Impel Down and a mysterious woman, born to a government official she was raised in a very strict environment, taught only about the prison of pirates and the duties involved with being either a guard in the place or eventually becoming the new Warden. As a result of this upbringing, harsh training, and unfriendly environment she had grown to despise the prison, and love those trapped within it’s walls. When her father died the World Government sought out the Venom-Venom Fruit but because she had done her training and duties without complaining they offered the fruit to her, like her father before her and she accepted it, shortly after she had obtained the fruit she created an escape plan, intending on joining the life of pirates with one goal, she wants to be free of the construct of the World Government, or really any rules.

Female

Straight

23 y/o

She stands at 5’10 ft tall and weighs about 145 lbs.

She was born and raised inside Impel Down, there’s nothing very significant about her upbringing aside from the fact she was raised around prisoners and the people who kept the prisoners inside, as the staff of Impel Down lived within the underwater prison.

Long, covering her bottom, straight as a board and raven black, under the sunlight it glitters blue/black, like raven feathers

Weirdly indigo/purple/blue, depending on the level of light her eyes can appear a deep indigo color, in the moonlight they’re purple, and in the sunlight they’re much more blue.

She is built lean and slight, having nearly no chest to speak of but fairly bigger hips, she has a triangle shaped face, big eyes, a pert nose, and thinner nearly red lips, despite their thin appearance they look soft, she’s got long legs, and long fingers, made to play a piano, she’s very pear-shaped, her hair splits down the middle and sort of hangs in two thick lengths behind her head, she also wears an indigo ribbon in her hair. She is extremely pale, as if the sunlight has never touched her skin; because up until the present day it hadn’t ever touched her skin.

She wears an almost sailor suit type dress, with a long skirt, it’s turtleneck with a matching indigo ribbon tied around the turtleneck-like collar to keep it from pooling lower on her neck, the outfit itself is white and silver though she wears fingerless black gloves. She wears black stockings that have indigo diamonds all the way up her legs and high heeled boots that seem to blend and match the stockings.

She carries herself with the confidence born of her strict upbringing, she never slumps her shoulders, she always stands tall and straight, giving off a much needed aura of command that most doctors have.

Jiatsu is confident and boyish, with an extremely keen eye that never misses anything, when she’s doing her work she gives off an aura of ‘obey or die’ making most lean towards obeying what she says, simply because she does know what’s best when it comes to healthcare and taking care of others. Despite her boyish confidence she dresses very girlishly and cares for all those she nurses, going above and beyond to ensure they recover in due time. She is extremely intelligent and patient, though she can be a little sadistic and enjoys deadpan humor, often threatening to poison those around her, she has a natural grace to her but when she doesn’t have something to focus on she can be a little air-headed and space out, she’s creative, her mind always on ‘go’, unfortunately she can be very jealous and sometimes violent, those she claims as friends (or a lover) will have to deal with her nosiness and ‘mother hen’ tendencies, but because of these things when people earn her trust (rare as that is) she will be forever loyal.

Specialties: Antidotes, surgeries, general health care, she’s incapable of creating medicines though and so has to buy most of her medicine, she can however create antidotes against poisons. (Her Doctor Skills)
She has a talent for forgery, able to mimic anyone’s handwriting that she’s seen flawlessly and has slowly been building up her lock picking skill; which she’s used to steal medicines before for a patient. She’s a talented writer as well, often hiding her writings though since she wants to eventually publish what she’s writing.

She can also create poisons, even though she has an immunity to them since she ate the Devil Fruit she was given .

She has two long term goals. To write and publish the story she’s writing and to eventually be completely free of her ties to Impel Down. She also seeks out her mother, curious because she never knew the woman.

She joined because she had a desire to join a decent crew, the crew’s infamy is what drew her in, people like the Captain and the other crewmates seem as though they’d be helpful to have around if she ever wants to achieve her biggest goal in life.

Jiatsu was born within the walls of Impel Down, for the first few years of her life, while she was being taught how to be a human, she was hidden away in a single room with no other children to play with as most guards would never think to have a child inside a prison, Jiatsu was the exception to this rule and as a result when she was only 5 years old they introduced her to the levels of the prison, being told exactly what each level meant and the duties to be performed, who was the most dangerous, who was just sort of dangerous, she learned the layout quickly, being forced to walk the halls with her father once a day, every day. Eventually she got brave and approached one of the less active prisoners and began to speak to them, her father caught her and forced her away but she made it a point to sneak away and wander the prison alone at night, sneaking past other guards and conversing with some of the less dangerous criminals, as she got older she got braver approaching more ‘dangerous’ types and seeing more of what they did to those trapped inside the prison. She was horrified but hid it well, managing to do the same things that the other guards did, though without fail she'd vomit once she was alone, feeling sick with herself for what she did.

During her training and learning the layout of Impel Down she had come to grow reliant on her father to protect her from the dangers of the different levels as she learned how to handle certain situations on her own, from ten years old to thirteen her father taught her how to use a gun, wanting to keep her as far away from the prisoners as possible since he was always get overprotective of her, several times she'd watch her father train other soldiers in physical combat but never her, it...bothered her on a fundamental level because he would use the Devil fruit and sometimes poison the trainees, these events are what led her to gain an interest in medicine, specifically antidotes.

Several years passed and when she was no more than thirteen years old she took a deep interest in medicine and medical care and began to study it, leaning biology and poisons and antidotes quickly, since her father was the keeper of the venom-venom devil fruit. Her interest expanded to saving lives more directly, walking down the path of studying to be a surgeon, while continuing to do work around the prison. At 20 years old, and after years of studying she finally earned the title of Asclepius, a nickname from those whose lives she’d saved, some being prisoners, several being guards. Jiatsu had used her father's influence to get around the prison without being questioned too much usually, or using charm and manipulation, the prisoners she had been allowed to save had usually been someone who had once been in a place of power, them being alive was far more profitable than them being dead.
She continued to live this way in tumultuous peace until her father died when she was 22 years old, she was promoted to a guard herself but had fallen into a deep depression after her father's death, she had; despite how she hated the prison, loved her father and had become a bit of a husk of her former self, since she was the only child of the Vice Warden they were tolerant of her grief stricken heart and promised her all the time she needed to heal to functioning again.

The one friend she had made was a young man the same age as her, he checked on her every day and took over a lot of the duties she'd volunteered to do, it was his influence and encouragement that made the leaders of Impel Down give her the fruit they'd finally found two months after her father's death. They'd hoped it would give her some sense of always having her father with her and would help bring her out of her depression. Tired and stricken as she was she had simply stared at the fruit for awhile it took her a week to eat the thing, she started to drip poison and to protect the people and guards in the underwater prison Jiatsu stayed away from everyone for another four months. The moment she ate the fruit she had made a decision though, she wouldn't stay here for much longer but she needed a plan. She spent those four months training her body to not drip the poison and planning an escape. The only viable ways she could think of were to help cause a prison break...which she was really tempted to do, or...fake her own death. She could do that no problem she knew the medicine to temporarily stop her heart putting her body in a sort of death sleep. With that in mind she started working on her plan in secret, working to get the medicine she'd need...with the help of Ryoku, he was a high enough guard that he could get his hands on the needed pills and be the one to take her 'body' to be sent back to the sea.

6 months after her father's death Jiatsu Yaboku killed herself via overdose of the medicine she had access to, and without her around there was none to do any digging into her death and Ryoku Kaijin took her body from the prison along with three other well respected guards to put her back to sea. Mysteriously though as the day for her funeral approached her body went missing as did Ryoku Kaijin. The rumor started that he simply didn't want her to die and took her body to one of those crazies who used shadows to keep corpses moving. Truth was the two left the base together at night in total secret, under the cover of darkness and fled to Twin Capes, seeking a much more free way of life.

Her Father, the man who raised her and taught her about the inner workings of Impel Down. She dearly loved the man and fell into a deep depression over his loss.

Her Mother, whom she doesn’t know and never met, other than these two she has no family or friends.

Ryoku Kaijin, her only friend from Impel Down and the one who helped her escape even knowing if and when their lies are discovered he's going to be hunted down and so will she.

Alchemic Mixes and Guns

Gunslinger/Poison Creation

She only has very basic powers, able to create bullets out of the the poison she drips and harden it.
While she prefers guns she can cover her hands/feet in the poison for close quarters combat, which she doesn't excel at but knows well enough to defend herself,

She tends to keep her distance in a fight, her slight build and lack of control over her venom makes her being a gunner/sniper the perfect job for her, she isn’t afraid of combat but doesn’t approve of it.

She’s not really terrible at fighting any specific type of person, her training within the prison giving her basic skill in most areas of combat, though she’s someone capable of killing from a distance, her knowledge of poisons and antidotes makes her alchemic mixes outside of combat just as useful as her usual poisons within combat.

Close quarters combat isn't her specialty but she's decently capable, the worst combat situation she could find herself in would be being surrounded by sea stone or with any sort of sea stone restraints since she never has normal bullets for her guns anymore, she'd still be able to fight hand to hand but again this isn't her main area of expertise.

She was born in Impel Down and as a result she’s been exposed to all sorts of fighting, she has never been one to approve of violence but she has a fair amount of actual combat experience, although she prefers to nurse those who are hurt back to health. Her naturally keen eyes make her a good person to keep an eye on those around her.

She simply dual wields pistols more often than not, though she is interested in obtaining a sniper rifle, as of now though she has very little for equipment. She can be stubborn though and will never really turn tail in a fight, holding her ground no matter how hard people push her.

Poison Bullets is her signature specialty skill. She hasn't gained enough control to do much els with her Devil Fruit powers.

Jiatsu is limited in her skill in medicines so I think I want her to focus and improve on those maybe eventually learning how to create her own medicines in a pinch. Her skill with the venom-venom fruit needs improvement too, she's very basic as she is right now.

She’s interested in learning how to use a melee weapon more skillfully, instead of just basic training and has plans to obtain a sniper rifle improving her fighting at a distance and creating more abilities she can use with the Venom-Venom Fruit.

As she was raised within the World Government I do think her past should catch up with her and eventually I do want the character to meet her mother, she has always heard of and wanted to visit the Sabaody Archipelago, she’d only heard stories about it from several of the pirates within the prison and had always taken an interest.

She does hide the devil fruit powers she has, simply because that could get her targeted fairly easy and someone could try and kill her. She doesn’t announce that she was born and raised in Impel Down either, for fear that the pirates she’s chosen to surround herself with could turn on her thinking she’s a spy. So while yes it’s in her history she hasn’t told anyone her origins, as a result of this she fakes amnesia, pretending to not remember where she comes from.

N/A (Though sheesh I hope I did this right. This is going to look a mess I bet...If it looks horrible I'm sorry DX I don't know how to clean it up or what doesn't belong where. @.@)

Strictly looking sorts of clothing and carries himself with a great deal of pride.

Often bearing a lazy gaze on his face and taking long naps, Seijin could honestly pass as a male lion sleeping on the plains of the savannah. Still a gentlemen til his dying moment he would always stop to act cordial to whoever he crosses path with, given that they lack a certain royal ancestry. His confident of his prowess and abilities, both as a fighter and a field medic, and will be ready to lay down arms with whoever harms his pride, revealing a vicious and animalistic nature.

An accomplished chef having been tutored by world-class chefs in different types of cuisines, learned in basic Grand Line-related knowledge and familiar with the inner workings of CP9 and by extension, the World Government.

To prove such a thing as a 'good' World Noble exists.
Rid the world of corrupt and immoral people in power, i.e. the World Nobles.

He longs for a pride to call his own, a group of friends he could happily laugh, drink, fight and die with and the captain's invitation seems like the perfect opportunity to find a pride.

Raised as a prince to a royal family of one of the many kingdoms under the World Government Seijin would grow up as a child lusting after adventure. However tragedy will strike in the form of pirates who raided and reduced his kingdom to ashes, slaughtering hundreds of people alike indiscriminately. And a week later a Navy fleet had landed on his home island to investigate and find Seijin underneath some rubble, only a few feet from where his parents had been slain, the World Government had hastily swept this under the rug, not willing to let the world know of their utter failure to protect a whole kingdom from pirates. The former prince himself was enlisted into the Navy for a few years that he could have done without, growing bitter of them to cover up the tragedy that was the slaughter of his people. Fast-forward to when Seijin grow up to become eighteen of age and he has long abandoned the Navy, instead choosing to live it out in South Blue far from the clutches of the World Government. However after crossing paths with a certain pirate crew, a half-hearted fight, too many drinks and a handshake will the once-prince would sail the seas with this newfound group for the town of Twin Peaks to start his new life of adventure, but little do they know what secrets he has laying beneath his facade.

Rokushiki (Six Powers)

Fighting Style Based

In combat Seijin serves a crucial role as an offensive tank, often choosing to to take the initial charge, his Tekkai being well suited to withstanding attacks and overall act as the crew's 'shield' continuously throughout a fight. Either way he is constantly in the midst of the actions and regularly takes the most damage out of all his crewmates after a battle.

Seijin is favoured to win against individuals who specialise in brute strength, as his Iron Body and endurance will have him withstand most physical attacks and can act as a damage control-tank who acts to have a group's focus on him for periods of time. The most ideal situation for him would be to fight in close quarters with someone that aims to drag the fight out and has little way in defense, so in layman terms; a rogue. Outside of combat and cooking he has little practical use with his specific skill sets.

Someone who is Seijin's superior in physicality; strength, durability and endurance, can easily control the flow of the fight in the first stages. Also the Iron Body is susceptible to damage from multiple opponents so a rush from many low-leveled thugs will pose a threat to his defense. The worst opponent to pit against him would be a mid to high ranged attacker that can pick Seijin out from a long distance using ambush tactics to do so before Tekkai is used.

Truth be told, Seijin's worth in actual fighting experience is rather limited to only low-level pirates he came across during his short time sailing across Paradise, from Marine Base to Twin Peaks. Still given his CP9 training combined with his innate fighting talent I would place at around pre-Gear 2nd Luffy,

Járngreipr: Gauntlets of a black gold-steel alloy, once owned by one of the Twenty Kings.

Iron Law
Tekkai: Adamantine
Tekkai: Lariat
Shigan: Bunker Buster
Rankyaku: Roaring Gale

Hopefully Seijin will quickly befriend his crew, forging bonds of friendship befitting that of nakama and while doing so his hate for the World Nobles, whilst reasonable, will settle down from 'raging at the very mention of them' to 'controlled anger' or something like that.

Gaining complete mastery of Rokushiki and with it Rokuogan and incorporating Haki into his fighting style. Plans for becoming a Devil Fruit.

A kill order being placed on Seijin by the Gorosei or some high World Government official or maybe even the Tenryūbito where CP9 and/or Admiral attempts to kill him and he contemplates whether or not to leave the crew to save them from the consequences of having him onboard. Vaguely inspired by Nico Robin's ordeals during the Water 7-Enies Lobby Arcs.

*EDIT* Him eating a rare powerful Devil Fruit offered up as a bribe from either the World Government or the Tenryūbito but only to immediately flee after consuming it to tick the party in question off.

His heritage as formerly being one of the World Nobles and his tutelage under the Cipher Pol Number. 9 He would not announce/disclose both of these openly in fear of calling the attention of the World Government who would then hunt him down to the ends of the earth. I would rather this be explained as the story point I have planned up above comes into fruition.

Dowell

Shipwright

Human

Female

Heterosexual _{(Very picky)}

29 _{(She has been twenty-nine for six years. Do not call her out on this.)}

Seven feet, two hundred pounds. They say Redwood folk are part tree.

Port Drydock, Redwood Island, South Blue. A heavily-wooded island that was called the heart of South Blue's shipbuilding industry during the Golden Age of Pirates. It's been a century since then, and Port Drydock has fallen far behind the times. The once-legendary forest that gave Redwood Island its name is a shadow of its former self, thanks to the hunger of the shipyards that are, for the most part, now much less busy.

Black

Green

Shockingly tall and limber, with long black hair pulled back out of her face. Has a strong jaw and stronger shoulders.

Dowell can invariably be found wearing her work clothes: heavy overalls over a long shirt that was probably white at one point but is now covered in streaks of oil, paint, and dried glue. She carries 'normal' tools on her hip in a tool belt, and all her other 'specialty' equipment, including her wapometal multitool, strapped to her back. Due to the heavy load, she walks with a slouch that makes her seem shorter than she really is.

Calm and analytic, except when annoyed or enraged or drunk. She only really gets excited when shipbuilding or engineering are involved, and is otherwise somewhat droll.

A talented shipwright, experienced in making repairs in and out of drydock. Extremely fast learner with a voracious hunger for knowledge.

To learn new techniques and methods of engineering from all along the Grand Line, and be remembered as one of the greatest engineers of the Modern Age of Pirates.

She wanted to go to the Grand Line. Really, she'd have jumped on any other ship heading there, pirate or not.

Dowell was born to an old shipwright family on Redwood Island, and was taught the old ways from a very young age. By the time she was eight, she had already built her first rowboat without any help, and by twelve, she was working on larger ships alongside grown men, who sometimes found it hard to keep up with her. By the time she was sixteen, she had gotten tired of the staunch traditionalism of Redwood's shipyards ("Metal ships are just a phase!"), and set out to learn more about modern shipbuilding techniques. She spent years bouncing around South Blue, working at every shipyard she could find, absorbing everything they had to teach her, and then moving onto the next. When she finally felt that there was nothing more to learn in South Blue, she looked for a ship that would take her to the Grand Line, hoping to learn about the great sea train, Puffing Tom, or the legendary coating techniques of the Shabondy Archipelago, or the technological wonders of Future Land Baldimore.

Shipwright Martial Arts

Instrument and Weapon Based

Dowell uses her shipwright's tools in combat. Her preferred tactic is to seal her opponents' movements with nails, ropes, or various mixtures of glue and tar, and then use her Wapometal All-Purpose Tool to deal damage to them.

Dowell isn't the fastest creature in the world, but her strength and durability can be best described as 'inhuman'. She doesn't particularly consider herself to be a 'fighter', and would fight only for a concrete purpose. However, she considers 'really, really pisses me off' to be a concrete purpose.

Dowell is best suited to fighting slow, heavily armored opponents, using her shipbuilding skills to tear apart her enemy's protections to get at the insides. Outside of combat (and besides shipbuilding), her wide variety of tools could find many uses, and her skill with ropes and rigging make her extremely adept at traversal of vertical surfaces.

Dowell's methods of restricting movement would be much less effective on an opponent fast or nimble enough to reliably avoid them, and while she's strong and durable, she herself isn't particularly fast.

Dowell has been building ships most of her life, but she never really used those skills in combat until she joined the crew. As such, she's still developing as a fighter, figuring out new ways to use her natural skills for violent ends.

Dowell's main interest is learning as much as she can. She's seen how far behind Redwood Island has fallen, and she's terrified of that kind of stagnation. Over time, she would pick up every new technique she can find, and find some way to bring them all together in order to create something new and amazing.

Over time, Dowell would grow more used to using her skills in combat, and implement new techniques into her fighting style. She would also design new equipment for herself and other crewmembers, which would culminate in building herself a hulking shipwright's exoskeleton/powered armor.
