Hi, I like One Piece and would enjoy a slower paced thing. This seems friendly enough C: Here's the char, originally went for a guy but I felt a need to balance the gender roster.

The above image is her working apparel as the "Fate Giver". Nowadays, she keeps it a bit more inconspicuous with basic, dark-themed clothing. A T-shirt and a pair of black jeans, leather boots, brown belt with two pistol holsters and a pair of black gloves. She's kept the shackles on her, because why not? 1m76 in height.

[color=black][b]Personality:[/b][/color]
Erizalla is not a good person. Opportunistic and lacking scruple are what defined this character during her young career in the underworld's markets. She is hypocritical with her unpleasant habit of one-upping others and poking fun at them as she is easily infuriated and susceptible to any sort of remark no matter how lighthearted they may be. Anger is overwhelmingly present in her person, with a need to lash out on what she considers below or weaker than her.

But she is not evil either, with many reservations when it comes to causing a deal of harm that is far bigger than she is willing to accept. Her sense of self-preservation is also through the roof, nullifying a good chunk of her otherwise stubborn and snake-like nature. Erizalla will still pick a fight if bored enough or feels like she needs to be concerned. Not the most pleasant of people, but one that will actually see reason if one bothers to communicate with her without triggering the beast.

[color=black][b]Backstory:[/b][/color]
Born of a not-so consensual relationship between a captured fishman woman and a henchman of an underworld lord, Erizalla's life was destined to be dysfunctional one way or another. Her mother was quickly discarded as a low-value commodity and was kept by her father to be raised as a useful asset to whatever black market endeavour his group would be involved in. Erizalla's heritage as a part-fishman was non-existent, leading to a total lack of knowledge of their techniques and some of their abilities.

Her father didn't live for too long. While she was a child, he was executed by a rival group, or maybe it was the marines? She didn't know, and didn't care. People came and went in this life. This applied to both the victims they sold as slaves and the individuals involved. All that mattered was "number one" in this practice and she stayed true to it to the bitter end.

As a pre-teen, she would utilize her uncommon genetics to gain the trust of wandering fishmen or even smaller groups to later capture and sell them to the highest bidder. Before long, she grew a taste for the chaos that was the action house of the underworld. The loud noises, the mutinies, the murders, the smoke, the money. And she was the one in the spotlight, guiding it and conferring the fate of the sold individual to whatever she deemed most lucrative or practical. Many slaves would grow to know the sharp toothed monster as the one who decided their future; whether they'd be tortured as playthings in Marijoie or turned pirate in some sleazy gang or even sold off to CP0 if they were young enough. The Fate Giver was the last face they would see before they'd lose everything and start anew without their freedoms.

People were not the only commodities sold, mind you. Devil Fruits had always been a lucrative market, and one fruit had gotten enough attention to warrant her superiors' action. A price of [img]https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/d/de/Beli.png/revision/latest?cb=20141206091723[/img]500.000.000 was put on the Cara-Cara No Mi. Far more than any slave she had ever sold. A high-priority sale that she had to secure, one that couldn't be messed up. And yet, as she had believed there was no such thing as justice in this world, a bizarre intervention occurred. Taken hostage by a masked figure, one powerful enough to defeat all the nearby guards without a sound and subdue her instantly, obligated her to consume the fruit at the risk of immediate execution. Thinking more about her impending doom, she did not think of the consequences of consuming the fruit until the assailant of 'justice' vanished without a trace.

She had consumed a fruit worth more than the lives of every person in this auction house. There was no explanation to be made, no packing or anything. Erizalla just ran as far as she could. Her bounty rose as fast as she sprinted to the nearest ship. The higher ups wanted justice for their profits and Erizalla was an easy target without a group to hide within.

For a year now, she's been on the run. Joining small groups only to have her either walk away or meeting their end at the hands of stronger groups.

[b]Devil Fruit:[/b] Cara-Cara No Mi

It is the Caramel-Caramel Fruit, a Paramecia-type devil fruit that allows the user to generate many forms of caramel at will. The user can decide of the taste and texture of the candy as well as its shape. This extends to the temperature of the caramel to make it more liquid and even 'burning'. Erizalla is currently rather inexperienced with it.

[b]Caramel Cuisine:[/b] A basic usage of her caramel abilities that allows the user to extend their reach and create structures made of caramel. The caramel can be hard or liquid with its consistency controlled by the user.

[b]Caramel Blob:[/b] The stickiness of caramel is particularly grating, isn't it? Not only is it sticky, but it can be compacted into bullets and fired, only to explode in a big blank of caramel upon contact! Useful for trapping and immobilising foes. The strength of the stickiness is relative to her current power and can be increased as she grows (can be enhanced with haki when it is acquired).

[b]Caramel Saute:[/b] Caramel heats up to boil. Erizalla fires it as a projectile to have it explode in a mess of searing blobs of sugary liquid and brown steam.

[i]There are many ways to use the devil fruit as the limit is usually one's imagination. I'll update as things come up in the RP.[/i]

[b]Gunslinger:[/b] Very accurate with a set of dual pistols as she used to only fight with those.

[b]Hand-to-hand combat:[/b] With fishman genes, Erizalla is more capable in physical combat than anything else. While she may lack some finesse expected from a lady, she compensates with sheer brutality and will.

[b]Helmsman:[/b] As a smuggler, she was the one steering the ship most of the time. These years of work have provided her a decent amount of experience in ship sailing.

[color=black][b]Relationships:[/b][/color]

[b]The 'Contacts':[/b] Erizalla's former employers. They want to kill her. She wants to kill them and take their position.

[color=black][b]Dreams:[/b][/color]
Takeover the largest portions of the underworld and become its top broker, while executing those that green-lighted her. (This is destined to change of course)[/hider][/center]
