It has a great abundance of coal as well as iron and other common metals all accessible in a large mountain on the west side of the island; making it very attractive for bother miners and blacksmiths. The island is located in North Blue and has an abundance of shops selling all sorts of weapons, tools, and jewelry.

He typically wears leather and cloth armor with brown boots and trousers, though he may only wear a cloth and fur jacket with or without a white undershirt. He always wears a painted demon mask made of iron [hider=Mask] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/9f/f2/6e/9ff26edd4366e52d6b415979fd362ecf--oni-mask-tattoo-japanese-oni.jpg[/img] [/hider] [/indent] [h3][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/h3] [b]Innate Personality:[/b] [indent]Elliot has a reserved passion for thrill and adventure, as well as a mild interest in his own craft. Though often serious, his quiet and reserved nature has made him accustomed to tolerate less focused company. His reserved nature was spawned from his innate shyness, as he has anxiety over socializing with others and lacks self-confidence when it comes to any relations with others. Though when he was little he didn't like the idea of combat, fighting has become part of the thrill he is drawn too. While he isn't the most passionate of warriors he is more then willing to use his strength when it is needed. He lacks much of a purpose other then the adventurer's thirst to explore, he instead finds value in helping others. [/indent] [INDENT] So long as he wears his mask, at least while he isn't using his zoan fruit, he feels confident enough to speak at least when needed to, and take action. Since the mask hides his face and expression, it is easy for him to feel secure. Thus he tries to give off the strong and silent type of persona. He has never been talkative, so he only speaks when spoken too or giving an occasional comment or question. Despite his lack of confidence, he does have a sense of pride as part of his masked persona. Elliot is just as much as satisfied when someone shows fear of him as he is when someone values his skills. [/INDENT] [b]Likes:[/b] [list] [*] Smithing. [*] Relaxing in front of a nice view in silence. [*] Being either appreciated or feared by others. [*] Battling. [*] Exploring uncharted areas. [/list] [b]Dislikes:[/b] [list] [*] Cold weather. [*] Being helpless. [*] Those that disrespect him or making him feel insecure. [*] The idea of losing something or someone close. [*] Exposing his face. [/list] [b]Skills/Talents:[/b] [indent] Blacksmithing; Trained under a novice blacksmith, and with use of his zoan fruit, he can smelt and handcraft crude metal weaponry as well as being able to make other primitive tools with wood and fiber. However his craft is crude in design and he lacks the skill to craft any complex weaponry such as guns or complicated metals such as wapometal. He is limited to wood as well as iron and other weak metals. Fishing; Something he may do in his pass time. He knows enough how to fish with a crude rod for simple catches. He also knows how to use a fish net or crab traps. [/indent] [b]Motivations/Goals/Dream[/b] [INDENT]He desires to see the world and to find a more permanent purpose among comrades that respect him. He also wants to become the world's greatest blacksmith, using his powers to forge weapons not possible by an other means.[/INDENT] [b]Reason For Joining [/b] [INDENT]Prior to joining he had been a one man crew. Aside from the advantages of joining a real crew, he had the impression that this crew and its captain would respect him and his talents.[/INDENT] [b]History/Bio:[/b] [INDENT]Elliot was born and raised on Anvil Island. His father was a lackluster blacksmith and his mother died at his birth. In his early years, he was taught by his father the trade of a blacksmith. On weekends they'd fish together, and on some days they'd walk around the island or wander into some old mine shafts within the island's mountain. His parent was the only person he spent time with. When his father was busy Elliot would go wander by himself. One day they were exploring an abandoned mine shaft when it collapsed into an unexplored cave system. Though he survived the cave-in, his father died from the disaster; crushed under boulders and debris. After his grieving, he forced himself to explore the cave which was illuminated by crystals and reflective metals. While trying to find a way out, he discovered the Ryu Ryu no mi. Upon eating the fruit, his newfound power allowed him to escape the cavern. There was nothing left for him in his hometown. Him and his father were poor before the incident and he couldn't thrive with what little talents he had for a novice blacksmith in a place ripe with competition. He used what little money he had to buy a small dingy and some provisions, sailed the ocean and found profit in pirating. He used his Zoan Fruit to terrorize vulnerable ships and other small time pirates to plunder whatever valuables he could. Eventually he gained the reputation of 'Elli the Salamander' in his area from his devil fruit's form, earned from his increasing count in thievery. Though violent, he did his best to avoid killing people and instead used fear to rob those of their wealth, at least to those that didn't fight him. Elliot came to Twin Capes as refuge, as his reputation made him a growing target for marines and he certainly could not keep himself safe on his own. This place wasn't just a refuge, but a place he hoped to find a crew to join.

The base abilities for the Devil Fruit the user impressive strength, Great durability with its scales, and an indefinite heat resistance. The devil fruit also offers fire manipulation, such as fire breathing. The user can for example, ignite his or her own body in a veil of flames, create a tendril of fire from its tail, extend its claws with a shell of fire, or shoot various styles of fire-breathing from the mouth. [hider=Human-Beast Form] [img]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammerfb/images/3/3d/Warhammer_Lizardmen_Oldblood.png/revision/latest?cb=20161015030903[/img] The bipedal form stands at 10 feet in height clad in iron-like blue scales with a row of spines down the back. Yellow crocodilian eyes gleam from its saurian head and its tail is tipped with a spear like appendage. The muscle mass is a clear indicator of the form's strength. Several horns are poised from the skull. [/hider] [hider=Beast Form] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/c6/c0/27/c6c027bc1cef8dda3e0fcb453b3bbbfc--dragon-half-mythical-creatures.jpg[/img] A semi-Bipedal monster with a 10 ft height when standing upright, 6 feet high on fours. Head to tail is about 23 feet. The Full beast form is clad in smooth black scales, long claws and sturdy feet. Not any stronger then the semi form, however it is more mobile being able to leap and glide. Like the semi-form the tail-tip is sharp but isn't much longer in terms of range. [/hider] Vulnerabilities: The underbelly of most form variations lack the same physical durability as the rest of the body, and are thus vulnerable. The Devil Fruit's fire manipulation is limited. Upon exhausting that limit it will take some time to regain its energy. While exhausted, the dragon form becomes more like an endothermic reptile; Limited to short bursts of stamina and more vulnerable to cold conditions as it cannot create its own body heat without firepower. [/INDENT] [b]Combat Personality/Style:[/b] [INDENT]Much like his conservative nature Elliot tries to take a defensive role. Unlike his usual nature however in combat he is far more confident in himself. The willpower and motivation he has in fighting allows him to endure a great deal of pain and injury so long as he sees it as necessary to win. Trading blows is another key tactic, especially if his foe is faster or more maneuverable to dodge his attacks. In the event of becoming enraged, however, he plays much more like a berserker. Whether it is the influence of his own devil fruit or his insecurities surfacing in his battle phase, Elliot becomes goaded into trying to assault and overpower the opponent. This however makes him far more vulnerable as his firepower has a limited endurance and his large body makes him more easier to dodge to those that can keep up with his constant attacking.[/INDENT] [b]Strengths :[/b] [INDENT] In close quarters he he can easily take full advantage of his body and firepower to punish his foe. Slow and large enemies are easier targets. He is far greater at defense then offense, as it is more fitting for his tank-like close range build. In a berserk state, he only has the advantage if the opponent cannot endure or outmaneuver his constant attacking, as he lacks the endurance to likely last too long in such a position. [/INDENT] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [INDENT]Anyone that can outmaneuver him can most likely win a battle of endurance, as exhaustion is one of his greatest weaknesses. He is far less effective at mid and long range, especially if he is unable to close the distance. Someone that could goad him into an enrage state and survive that ordeal or take advantage of that madness can fully expect a victory. Otherwise, exploiting his defensive nature of conserving energy, such as overwhelming him into an opening, is a good strategy.[/INDENT] [b]Experience:[/b] [INDENT]Elliot's experience is limited to a few years of fighting weak pirates with few other devil fruit users, and rookie marines. He knows the basics of how to use his ability thus far and certainly has a decent idea on strategy, but has yet to face anyone that can match his devil's fruit strength and durability simply because he has yet to fight anyone that could be considered strong. This has given him an illusion of pride as he as been accustomed to think he is unbeatable in combat.[/INDENT] [b]Equipment:[/b] [INDENT]He carries with him a giant great hammer forged of pure iron, hand crafted by his own ability. He only uses this weapon in his semi form however, as it is too heavy to use in his human form properly.[/INDENT] [b]Sample Techniques:[/b] [INDENT] Dragon Tail Spear (Semi): Elliot lunges his tail forward like a spear, the tip of it being as sharp as one. Earth-Breaker(Semi Form): Elliot smashes his hammer on the ground to create a small scaled seismic crater in the earth. Dragon Claw (Semi): Elliot heats up his arm with immense heat, enough to melt iron with his touch. Infernal Rage(Semi): Elliot's entire body becomes engulfed in flames, surrounding him with intense heat and obscuring his exact size and proportions as the fire masks him as a silhouette. Burn Blast (Semi and Full): Elliot fires a ball of fire with roughly the explosive force of a grenade from his mouth, moving as a fast projectile. Home Run(Semi): A slowly positioned swing from his hammer that can send most opponents flying with a direct hit. Trample(Semi): Elliot attempts to either tackle and crush his opponent, or pounce and claw if the target is larger. [/INDENT] [hider=Sneak peak into Combat Growth for the public] [b]Combat Growth:[/b] For growth I expect new, mostly fire related, techniques to be learned as well as increasing his base strength to keep up with the story meta if necessary, but not too much to overpower him. I don't have a complete idea for future techniques yet, but Some of the future techniques I had are: Sky Tyrant's gift(Salamander Point): Elliot sprouts a pair of wings composed of concentrated fire. Fire Serpent(Salamander Point, Oriental Point, Semi and Full forms): Elliot creates a tendril composed of fire with the head of a dragon that's movements are like a serpent, which can swallow a target to encase it with burning flames, or increase the pressure of the fire to act as a solid, bludgeoning, attack. Wyrm Storm(Salamander): Elliot creates several fire serpents from his back. Meteor Burst(full and semi): Elliot shoots a ball of fire as an explosive projectile from his mouth, roughly as effective as a standard cannonball. Burning Stampede(Semi form, Devil Tyrant Point): Both fists become engulfed in a torrent of fire that can be unleashed with explosive force upon impacting another object or surface. Flame Vortex(Semi and Full): Elliot exhales a cone-shaped vortex of flames. Earth Raze.(All forms): Elliot exhales a line of fire that expands forwards over a surface. Fanned flames(Combo'd with Sky tyrant's gift and Earth Raze in Salamander Point): By breathing Earth Raze and then Using his wings to fan forward Elliot creates a massive kicked up cloud of fire of smoke, capable of flooding through multiple streets. Firesmith's Armament (Semi, full, Devil Tyrant Point, Salamander Point): Elliot's claws, tail tip, horns, and/or teeth become shrouded in an aura of concentrated fire, extending the range of the buffed natural weapons as well as increasing their sharpness in addition to the heat damage. Thousand Spear Dragon(Semi and Full): Elliot performs multiple Dragon Tailspears in the form of a flurry of blows. Fire Tyrant's Decree(Salamander Point): Elliot fires a streamlined beam of concreted flames from his mouth, like an elongated blow torch, scorching the surfaces it hits. After a few seconds, the surfaces burned by the beam explode in a bursting trail (Shin Godzilla Style) Most of these new techniques I feel should come from moments of great stress and desperation, as well as being placed in an appropriate time to avoid giving him any overpowering upgrades too early. [hider=Devil Pill variants] [hider=Wyvern Point] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/8d/94/c6/8d94c64cba76c29ba1e107f8fb5a430f.jpg[/img] Bipedal, 15 ft tall, 25 ft long. The Wyvern point is clad in green scales with a lighter underbelly. The hooked barb on the tail is more pronounced then other variants, and three small rows of spines run down its back. The two front legs are modified as large wings, giving it capability of true flight, while its feet are hooked and sharp like talons. This form is lighter and possesses less strength as well as a weaker hide then the other devil pill variants, and it's fire potency is weak. However, it is not only capable of true flight, but its the fastest dragon form. Its strengths are in its weaponized tail and sharp feet in addition to its aerial maneuverability. [/hider] [hider=Oriental Point] [img]http://cdn.wadpphoto.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/oriental_dragon_w1_Widescreen-wallpaper-680x425.jpeg[/img] (Not to scale with picture) 4 feet tall, 50 feet long. The Oriental Point possesses a long and massive snake-like body with only two four-clawed feet at the front of its body, and on short legs. Two horns face back from its head, two whisker-like appendages ripple from its nose while a fur-like beard rests under its lower maw. A mane of a similar fiber runs down its neck. The scales are green and light, even less durable then the Wyvern Point; and while it isn't as fast, it does possess a moderate fire potency. Otherwise there isn't much use of this form combat wise aside from using its serpentine body like a snake. The Oriental Point is also capable at temporary flight, despite lacking wings, and can even glide over long distance. It can also harbor a large amount of weight, and passengers about as many as a small crew, should that be needed. [/hider] [hider=Devil Tyrant Point] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/2e/ab/e1/2eabe1c02adcc48eb5e7703b32a94891.jpg[/img] Semi-Bipedal, 18 feet high, 26 feet long (Fully upright) This utter monster of a form is clad head-to-toe in green plated scales which are greatly keeled, especially on the back. Its thorny-like body has an addition pair of horns facing the back of the skull, with its sides armored in more side-facing horns. The heavy tail is armored both with a spear-tip and side-length spines, and its wings give it an additional size to boast. This form is the most armored of any other variant as its scales can outclass most steels and it lacks the typical underside weak points of the other forms. The great inhuman strength it possesses fits its monstrous appearance, and though slow, it is capable of temporary flight. It is a straight upgrade from the semi-form, however the power given from the devil pill is too great for one's mind, and Elliot is unable to control such power without going into a blind fit of utter fury. In this state he sees not friend nor foe, only prey to crush, burn, and devour. [/hider] [hider=Tyrant Salamander Point] [img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/73/2a/d1/732ad1a4977c0a154765f8024b877553--dragon-zodiac-fantasy-dragon.jpg[/img] Quadruped. 9 ft tall, 32 feet long. The tail of the Salamander point is 2/3 the length of the body. The eyes burn like fire and two large horns stick out from the back of the skull. The black razor spines along the back are connected by flames that mimic an organic sail, as well as having a similar fire beneath the chin like a dulap, frills on the lower sides of the jaw, and three strands of flames that resemble a beard. The forked tongue and crimson gums are illuminated by a thin veil of fire and its scales are plated with a fitting red hue, with a white underbelly. The tip of the tail has several sharp spines that with the fire make it appear as a paddle. Its claws are four-fingered, and curved sharp like a tiger. While this form has great strength and durability, it's true power is its fire potency. The flames that emanate off of its body are only in part of its potential. Like the Devil Tyrant form however it is difficult to keep in control, and while Elliot can remain sane in this form initially unlike the Devil Tyrant form, anything that would anger him quickly turns into an out of control rage.
