Name: Jason Spade

Age: 19

Starting Location/Current Location: West Blue



Personality: Jason is a bit of a goof ball and obsessed with gambling! He didn’t start out that way, but its possible that his father’s obsession may have been passed down to him… all in all he is a good guy. He wants to help others… for the most part. He’s not opposed to swindling people out of their money if it means he can get a leg up for himself. But if someone is truly in need, he’ll drop everything to help them. The reason he became a pirate? He wanted to protect his mother and… he decided after obtaining his devil’s fruit, with enemies to his back. He might as well go for the ultimate gamble.

Dream/Goal: To win the ultimate gamble and become pirate king.

History: The son of a gambler man, when he was quite young his father racked up a massive debt and fled the island to the sea. He never saw his father again, but his mother was forced to take on the debts. Jason couldn’t bear watching his mother work herself to death… so he taught himself how to gamble. He knew his father was a no good scoundrel, but he also knew, you fight fire… With more fire!

“No dear.. you fight fire with water...”- Jason’s Mother

Determined to beat the bastards at their own game, he learned all the tricks he could to become one hell… of a cheater! Counting cards, slipping in extra’s, swapping out dice, nothing was off limits for him. He was able to clear his father’s debt in a few years… but not every story has a happy ending. The scum of the island found out that he’d been cheating. It was during a card game, Jason thought he had it all figured out, but screwed up the count. His cheating caught, he fled as hard as he could.. but the men had guns and swords.

Trapped between a rock and a hard place, Jason was given the option… earn back all the money he swindled from them, or die. The choice was obvious… So he became a dealer for the goons casino, swindling the people out of their money… though he didn’t feel good about it.

A few months later a pirate crew came in and Jason was put to work, he robbed them blind with his card skills and just when he thought they were out of money, they pulled it out… a devil’s fruit! A fruit worth a fortune! He could make back all the money he had taken and then some!

After some quick cards and faster feet, Jason fled the casino with his prize. He woke up his mom and told her to run, giving her what little money he had left… He knew that if the gang found out about the devil’s fruit they’d hunt down not only him, but his mother too.

After getting his mom set and headed for a passenger ship, he stole a boat from the docks, he knew they’d come for him first and it was a difficult choice to make, but he set sail on his own… though he isn’t the best navigator and unfortunately the boat didn’t have much food… he was forced to eat the devil’s fruit to survive…….

And that’s how he got to where he is today.

Name: Nikko the Red Lion

Age: 19

Starting Location/Current Location: East Blue

Personality: How does one describe an interest? For Nikko, his life is the search for that next special interest. That thing he cares about deeply. That nips at that bud of inspiration and allows it to blossom. Even as a child he was like that, addicted to his special interest. In this case, Gold Roger. And while he was shamed for it, he never found a reason to stop caring about it. In short, he's a man who cares deeply, about the things that interest him. If they don't?
Needless to say, he has killed before. With disinterest in his eyes. It wasn't hard killing that disobedient pirate. It was just a thing to do. That is Nikko. A pirate who just treats anything outside his few interests as something... Irrelevant, or just outright boring. Killing is easy when you don't care about the life of the person you're shooting. Maybe that's why he seems so... Strange. Why he seems to lack empathy. But that's false. He's actually very empathetic, but only when it's related to something that interests him. Is it odd? Is it cruel? Yes. But that's just Nikko.
At his core, he's an artist. A man who cares for the spectacle. A man... Who will fight for his dream.

Dream/Goal: What does a man like Nikko want? It's strange... But he wants to write the first, and only biography on the King of Pirates. Gold Roger. To do so, he plans to follow Roger's path, act as a pirate, and truly understand what made the King... The King.

History: The eldest child of Shiki the Golden Lion. A child of the greatest rival of the King of Pirates, and possible heir to the empire his father had designed for him. And yet, born in the North Blue, Nikko never had the same kind of interests his father did. He never had the interest to simply sit in ships, and fly around the world. He never saw the glory of his heritage. Instead... As a child he was always fond of somebody other than his father. Gold Roger. His father's rival, was the one who caught his eyes. Some days, he would follow his father about on trips, just in the hopes of seeing Roger. But he only saw him once, from a distance. That was also the day his father his injured by a steering wheel, which he adopted as a family crest of a kind. Thus why part of a steering wheel acts as a makeshift hair-tie.
Shiki often insisted that his child, and heir should be special. More so than any pirate, and more than Roger. As such, he spent quite a fortune seeking out a Devil Fruit that he believed would make his son a powerful pirate. It took several years, but on Nikko's thirteenth birthday, he was gifted with a devil fruit. He didn't like it, but biting his lip, he swallowed his dis-interest in his father's ambition, and ate the fruit. The Taiyō Taiyō No Mi. A Devil Fruit sometimes known as the Sun Sun Fruit. It was a paramecia that embodied the eater with the power of the sun itself, but in a way that they possesses the heat and light, and not the flames.
Turning fifteen, the boy's dis-interest with his father's plans reached a peak. He left to go visit his mother in the South Blue, a trip he didn't bother returning from. He had spent years with his father in the hopes of seeing Roger, and yet nothing came from it. As he was never truly a pirate, and he worked hard to bury his father's connection to him, Nikko was never a target by the World Government. Instead he took on other hobbies, like writing. Hoping to write stories about great pirates.
Then... He was eighteen, and Roger died. His words sparking a cry to seek One Piece. And there... WAS THE SPARK OF INSPIRATION HE NEEDED! Nikko knew the story he wanted to tell. It was one he had failed to see as a child, but now as an adult? He wanted to write the Pirate King's Biography. But the king was dead. The only way to write such a story would be to go on the seas, and follow Roger's own path. Taking up a dingy, he vowed to recreate Roger's rise to power, without the influence his father would have offered him.
Though... He has received letters from his father's former First Mate, asking him to consider joining up with the Golden Lion Pirates, despite his father's imprisonment in Impel Down. He has naturally turned down such offers.

Crew: The Red Lion Pirates. Not that it's a real pirate organization.

Ship: None at the moment. He's mostly catching a lift from island to island.

Specialty/Profession: Professional Writer / Ship Captain (A role he must fill in order to become adjusted to writing about Gol D. Roger.)

Fighting Style: At the moment, his fighting style is primarily based around kicking. A style developed to protect his hands, because how can he write without them? His projection of fire, heat, and light is used to increase the impact of his kicks. As such, his style is un-refined, but is strong by virtue of the impact his devil fruit adds to each strike.

Weapons: A flintlock. Though that's not saying much.

Devil Fruit: Taiyō Taiyō No Mi - A paramecia fruit, also known as the Sun Sun Fruit. This fruit is referred to as one of the Invincible Fruits, despite this though it's also considered one of the weakest of that bunch. Simply put, it turns the possessor into a Sun Person. Their body becomes a living nuclear core, that generates near endless amounts of heat, fire, and light. Because his body is running on its own 'exploding core' his body never needs to rest. This also means... the possessor will be restless. Constantly needing to burn off excess energy. At least they'll never had to worry about a cold winter's day.
Through training, the user can focus and control his 'burning insides' for combat. By generating fire, heat, or bright lights to blind others around him. This control can come more naturally the longer one has practice with it, but those who aren't practiced have a nasty tendency to casually burn people while shaking hands. The heat generated can theoretically rise to 5,778 K, the heat of the sun. But because that might end up destroying the body, it is unwise to raise the temperature that high. Rather, it mostly just causes third degree burns on contact, but can drastically rise depending.
With training, it is possible to fire beams of concentrated heat, fire, or light. Or even combine all three at once. For now, it is only possible for Nikko to generate excessive heat through his kicks, or blinding people with sudden flases of light.

Items: A pen, and a great deal of paper.

Bounty: 0 Beli

Color: "This is a good color, right? It's f7976a."

Name: Shigeuchi the Trickster

Age: 34

Starting Location/Current Location: East Blue

Personality: “Work smarter, not harder”; that’s the motto by which Shigeuchi lives his life. He’s a man who dislikes making things complicated, one who’s always looking for the easiest option without compromising on the end result; the mark of a job well done is not exceeding expectations but by meeting expectations with time and resources to spare. That said, he also believes that a job worth doing is one worth doing well; his approach to life should not be mistaken for laziness or sloppiness.

This makes him very good at organising and leading people towards completing a task, while at the same time making him something of a nightmare to work under. He is very particular about the way things are done, can be strict and demanding of his underlings. He is quick to anger when mistakes are made but also quick to forgive and forget in the name of keeping things moving. Furthermore, Shigeuchi is also very frugal; a perennial penny-pincher who approaches purchases with a mentality of only buying what’s ‘good enough’ and nothing more. He is not one to indulge in frivolous needs.

Lastly, Shigeuchi is absurdly unambitious for a pirate. He never seeks out responsibility or power, instead finding it placed in his lap without ever looking for it and grumbling about how troublesome it makes his life the whole time. He is someone who cannot fathom how he ended up where he has, with people under his command and a heap of responsibility weighing on his shoulders; he’ll complain and lament his existence constantly, even as he works hard at his given task.

Dream/Goal: Dreams? Shigeuchi doesn’t have many right now. A life without complications would probably be his answer; money would help with that, so would power, while fame would be a detriment. Unfortunately as a pirate those things tend to go hand in hand.

For now his goal would be keeping his old captain’s son alive. Maybe work at helping him become stronger than his father someday, if the boy’s willing.

History: Where to start? Shigeuchi first became a pirate as a teenager, being recruited as a lowly deck hand in the fleet of Shiki the Golden Lion the one time the large pirate fleet docked at his home town for supplies; they were looking for new blood and Shigeuchi was looking for a way out of his current situation, seeking a life of freedom with the pirate crew. This was not a well thought out decision.

It turned out that being the lowest rung of the ladder on a fleet of cutthroats and brigands was not the easy life he had imagined it to be however and did not remotely live up to the romantic image most young idiots have of a life at sea. Shigeuchi was put hard to work by the crew, was given little freedom or pay in return and for the most part spent the next couple of years bored and tired. It was a simple life however, one that didn’t require much thought on his part and he always knew more or less what the next day would bring.

He was a hard worker however and seemed to have a talent for directing his fellow workers so as to make them more efficient and effective, something which didn’t go unnoticed. Bit by bit he was promoted up the ranks of the crew, at one point or another in his twenty years of being a pirate holding almost every position that didn’t require specialist knowledge or skills, almost always in a position to order or organise other crew members. Shigeuchi complained every step of the way, always grumbling about the complications and extra responsibilities his new role brought, but generally accepted because it was always easier to be the one giving the order than the one trying to correct the orders of others.

At some point Shigeuchi even found himself in charge of an entire division, only one of over fifty in Shiki’s fleet but a division nonetheless. As part of his new position he was even given a Devil Fruit, the Kōkan-Kōkan No Mi, both as a reward for his promotion and to make him a stronger member of Shiki’s fleet. The Devil Fruit and its associated curse was another complication he never wanted, but at least the power to move himself and his crew around the ship near instantaneously was useful for keeping things moving.

Shigeuchi worked as a division commander for a little over a year when Roger went and got himself executed and the Admiral’s eldest son got it into his head to run off and start his own crew. As a result, Shigeuchi was ordered to go after the brat and become a member of his crew, to assist him in whatever he wanted to do and to keep him alive while trying to convince him to join his father’s fleet.

His life has never felt more complicated than right now.

Crew: Freelance, for the moment

Ship: None. He is not a member of any crew currently and has no ambitions of starting his own, so for now he’s just paying his way on other ships as he chases down the brat he’s supposed to look after.

Specialty/Profession: A swordsman of some skill, he’s decent in a fight, but his specialty would probably be as a foreman or a first mate. He’s good at keeping people organised and on track; he’s got a track record of keeping things running smooth and efficient.

Fighting Style: As a swordsman, the way Shigeuchi fights should be obvious; to put it simply it involved getting as close to the enemy as possible and sticking his sword in them before they do the same to him. That said he’s only a semi-decent duellist, nothing special as far as swordsman go, so he needs to rely on more than just his skills to win. He uses a longer sword than most and wields it two-handed, relying on strength and technique more than speed to beat his opponents.

Shigeuchi’s epithet of ‘Trickster’ comes from the way in which he uses his Devil Fruit power as he fights. His Devil Fruit allows him to swap places with another object of similar size, including his opponent; he uses this power to instantly chance his or his opponent’s position on the battlefield, confusing them and using that to his advantage.

Weapons: A tachi; like a katana but with a longer blade and a deeper curve, for those of you who don’t know. He also carries a tanto as a backup weapon.

Devil Fruit: Kōkan-Kōkan No Mi – A Paramecia type fruit known as the Exchange-Exchange Fruit. It allows the user to exchange two objects of roughly equal size, having them trade places instantaneously with each other. At the moment Shigeuchi is only able to use his Devil Fruit power on himself, trading places with another object within his range so long as that object is about the same size as himself, but eventually he’ll be able to exchange an object he is holding or touching with another and maybe even swapping any two objects or people he can see.

Items: Aside from his weapons, the clothes on his back and a bag with a few basic supplies, Shigeuchi doesn’t have much in the way of possessions.

Bounty: 0 Beli

Color: It’s gray. Hope it’s not too hard to read.

Name: Ricardo “The Iron Bull” Borja

Age: 28

Starting Location/Current Location: West Blue

Personality: Ricardo is a person who can truly be described as larger than life in a lot of respects and his personality is no different; loud, exuberant and with a cheerfulness that could fill a room, the eldest son of the Borja family often find himself the centre of attention. His noble upbringing grants him a certain bearing and poise, a refinement and awareness of social etiquette that many others in the marines lack, leading to Ricardo having something of a gentlemanly disposition.

As far as Ricardo is concerned there are few things in life as important, or which bear as much weight, as duty; duty to one’s family first and foremost, but also to oneself and to society as a whole. “Those who have the ability to do good have the responsibility to do so”; these are the words Ricardo’s father taught him as a child, the same words that have been passed down his family for generations, the words by with he lives. He owes it to his family to live up to their legacy, he owes it to himself to reach his fullest potential and he owes it to society to make use of the gifts he has been given, whether they be physical, intellectual or socially, to make the world a better place.

Pride is Ricardo’s biggest failing, though rarely is it personal pride. Pride in his family, pride in the marines, pride in those things bigger than himself that he serves; this pride blinds him to the failings of others at times, covering his eyes with a rosy tint that prevents him from seeing what is so blindingly obvious to others. He can be, at times, a bit dense.

Dream/Goal: Ricardo is not much of a dreamer; he has no real hatred for pirates in principle, so he doesn’t wish for a word without them, not does he have any grand ambitions like becoming Fleet Admiral or even a hero. No one individual has earned enough of his ire for him to want to see them fall or seek revenge against them, nor has he met anyone special enough for him to dedicate his life to.

His goals are to perform his duty admirably and honourably, to protect the people of the world from those who would do them harm, to make his family proud of the son they have raised and to keep his crew safe in his pursuit of all of that. In the future, maybe finding a wife and settling down would be nice, but anything beyond his current duties is something not worth wondering over at the moment.

History: The eldest son of the Borja family, a minor noble family that has lived in West Blue for generations and whose family crest is a shining sun, Ricardo was taught from a young age that their privilege came with a responsibility; because they were more fortunate than others and in a better position to make positive change in the world, it was their duty not to misuse that power for their own gain, but instead to use it for the betterment of society.

These lessons might sound like a romantic fantasy to some, and in reality the Borja family probably didn’t live up to their own lofty ideals most of the time, but young Ricardo took those teaching to heart. As a boy he thought a lot about what he could do that would make a difference, but as a child there wasn’t much he could think of due to his limited knowledge of the world; all he knew was that he wanted to do something big. Although his family probably only meant to teach him to live his life considerately and without falling into corruption or vice, perhaps donate to charity or organise events, young Ricardo set his sights higher than that.

As Ricardo grew older it became increasingly obvious that he was going to be blessed with abnormal size and strength, being taller and broader than his peers and already as strong as a grown man by the age of 13. As he came to this realisation it became clearer that whatever path Ricardo eventually took would involve using his strength to help people; this idea was further cemented in his mind the first time he saw the marines in action, witnessing a fight between a small pirate crew and a detachment of marines at the port of his home town. From that day he made it his mission to join the marines and protect people.

At the age of 18 Ricardo enlisted at the 80th Branch Marine Base in West Blue, signing up as a simple cadet despite his background. Since then he has patrolled the waters of West Blue, working his way up the ranks until he became a lieutenant and was given command of his own boat and crew; for his brute strength and straight forward approach to combat he has earned the moniker “Iron Bull”.

Crew: As an officer in the marines Ricardo has a small crew of 20 capable men and women, including a Sergeant, under his command.

Ship: A small galley, large enough for a crew of his size and fit for purpose. It is well maintained and in kept in near pristine condition; aside from a figurehead in the shape of a bull’s head it is indistinguishable from any other unadorned marine vessel.

Specialty/Profession: A lieutenant in the marines, Ricardo’s main role is to lead and inspire his crew while also acting as the vanguard in any combat they may enter.

Rank: Lieutenant

Fighting Style: An all-out offensive assault is the only way Ricardo knows how to fight and it has served him well so far. Utilising his large and powerful body he rushes towards his opponents and crushes them, using a fighting style that is more brute strength than technique. When attacking he strikes with either his fists, arms or shoulders for the most part but there is not a single part of his body that he won’t use to defeat his opponent.

His bulky form is able to withstand a large amount of punishment and he has a high pain tolerance and a stubborn disposition, allowing him to power through his opponent’s attacks to deliver his own.

Weapons: His body

Devil Fruit: None

Items: His uniform and a few personal effects from home are all that Ricardo possesses at the moment, photos of his family and such. The marines provide anything else he might need.

Color: My lineage shines as brightly as the sun. Did you expect anything else?

A small bundle of Devil Fruit grapes with an ominous violet hue. The shadow cast by the fruit flickers lightly like flames when beneath a light source. When consumed, that individual becomes the host to Amon, the entity within the fruit. Hallucinations, visions, and dreams of Amon will begin to plague the mind of the host. An amalgamation of fangs, eyes, and hands reaching for eternity is what Amon truly appears as, but to the comfort of the one who possesses his powers, will take on the form of a tall human male with pale skin and crimson eyes dawning a butlers uniform. When materialized, he will appear in a variety of forms tailoring the situation, though will most often resemble a large black hound-like beast with several scarlet eyes, wiry fur that moves like smokey shadows, bony spikes down its back , and articulating human like hands that protrude from it's body. Whatever form he takes will share similar features.



More commonly, Amon appears as a void black infection like growth that sprouts across the body of the one who consumed the Oni Oni Fruit. These growth like manifestations can form on any part of the body, shape shift, articulate, and harden according to the situation or at the whim of the host. This can consist of wings, talons, melee weapons, armor, and clothing, though will still maintain Amon's amalgamate features.




Primal, violent, hungry, and arrogant. Amon is born as the basest of survival instincts incarnate, though he is capable of learning basic human interaction and other social intricacies fairly quickly through his host. This level of understanding can even grow to the point of developing a sense of humor, though likely a dark one. At the end of the day, Amon is an entity that cares more for his own needs and preservation at most any cost. This means protecting the life and safety of his host, and with complete disregard for anything else. His interaction with almost anyone is typically short, brunt, and belittling if it even manages to get past snarls and howls.


Survival and Meat. So much so Amon can spike hunger levels or trigger fight or flight instincts in his host in an effort to achieve these goals.


Locked away in a small darkwood chest lined with red cushions and sealed with several ancient rusted chains and bolts. Destined for one to open on a fateful day.


Amon will reflexively respond to any stimuli perceived as hostile by forming a hardened shell around his host, or with quick retaliation in the form of bladed tendrils and mouths filled with razor sharp fangs. Any extremities or weapons formed from Amon while bound to the host can reach 3 meters in any direction, or about 10 feet, and can move as fast as a striking snake. When fully manifested, Amon will seize upon threats, attacking in a vicious, almost clumsy frenzy, baring fangs and claws. When encountering an armed or powerful enemy with the capability to inflict damage, Amon will reassess, and instead use the terrain and environment for an ambush or simply flee to preserve the safety of the host. If confronted head on by a formidable threat with no escape, Amon will behave in a more reactive manner, waiting for an opportunity to lash out. Generally speaking, Amon trades accuracy for speed and power. Trades restraint for ferocity and unpredictability.


Oni Oni Fruit. A Zoan class Devil Fruit said to give the one who consumes it the ability to harness a devil. However the use of this power draws directly on ones own life force.

Spread
Amon will infest the skin, manifesting as a mass of jet black flesh, eyes, fangs, and tendrils which encompass the area of the hosts body or extremity from which it appears. Typically the manifestation will originate from the central mass of the body, be it the chest or spine. However, it can be focused or verbally commanded to form anywhere. Once the growth has formed, it can be shaped at will into rudimentary bladed or brunt weapons, hardened plating, additional arms/legs/heads matching that of the host but in a black tint, and animal appendages including wings, horns, or tails. Clothing can also be formed, however it will be covered in eyes, fangs, and tendrils since it will consist of Amon.

Divide
A temporary manifestation of Amon can be materialized from the host through a wound as small as a pin prick, bleeding out in place of blood. The resulting form varies in size an shape and will last for one or two hours before dissipating into nothing unless physical contact is made with the host. Though these manifestations are not Amon himself, they carry his conscious and will. The bigger the wound, the greater the beast.

Consume
The infection that normally grows over a single area of the body now grows to encompass it as a whole. The host becomes completely engulfed, regenerating wounds, broken bones, and repelling harmful foreign entities from the body. A manifestation of Amon fuses with the host, transforming them into a humanoid beast made of dark shifting flesh, eyes, and fang filled maws. When dispersed, or the host runs too low on energy/sustenance, this form will dissipate like a hollow shell of ashes, leaving the host as they were beforehand.

Name: Seika, the Pirate Princess

Age: 17 years old

Starting Location/Current Location: East Blue

Appearance: Standing at five feet and seven inches tall, Seika has always looked older than she actually was. With a slim body, long limbs and youthful features, it's almost as if one sent a fragile porcelain doll to become a pirate. She's rather prone of wearing outfits that are more fitting for a fancy hike instead of seafaring. She opted against wearing her father's steering wheel on her head as it'd be too silly, instead carrying a necklace with that symbol.

Personality: Gorgeous and majestic. Noble and wise beyond her years. With an intellect that dwarfs the most important thinkers of the century and a beauty that'd make the days longer simply because the sun desires to see her more, Seika is, truly, a genious of a generation and a wonder to be marvelled at. Nothing less could be expected from the second eldest of Shiki's childs.

At least, that's how she'd describe herself. Others would most definitely use less kinder phrases: "Too big for her boots", "Talks a bit too much", "If it wasn't because of her position, I'd have taught some manners to that kid", "Thank god she's not a World Noble", "I once made her eat a beetle saying it was chocolate", "One day she came to me crying because she had been tricked into eating a bug, it was kind of cute" and, finally: "Her mother fired me because my son made her eat a bug".

Haughty, petty and arrogant, Seika has always gotten whatever she wanted whenever she wanted, and she's quite used to things going her way. That's how she was raised, and that's how she thinks the world should be. Anything that doesn't meet her standards is liable to light up her short temper and end up with a tantrum from the young lady. Because, if there's one thing she does better than anyone else, is relying on others to get things done for her.

Something important to note about her is that she is not completely useless. Whilst her knowledge on all things related to navigation, ship maintainance and other matters that are basic to one that calls themselves a pirate, Seika remains rather well-read and educated in other matters that are more important to the life of who was set to be a noblewoman. Intrigue, etiquette and even some knowledge of how the world works beyond the East Blue. Perhaps more importantly of all, she knows how Sire Durdsley proposed to Lady Marion in her favourite novel.

---

Dream/Goal: Become a world renowned pirate by performing a feat so great that her father would have no remedy but to approve of her. Like rescuing him from Impel Down.

History: A quick way to understand Seika's life and behavior is to look at her older brother, Nikko. Or, rather, at how their father, Shiki the Golden Lion, doted upon him and shaped him up to become the heir of his empire. And, in all the attention that he gave her brother, Seika got none from him. Whilst Nikko looked forward to catching a glimpse of Gold Roger, Seika longed to have Shiki treat her with the same enthusiasm and care he gave to her brother's childhood.
Whilst Nikko was taken under their father's wing, Seika was left under their mother's care, who did what she could to make sure that she could fill the space Shiki left in her life with some proper education in hopes that she'd stray from the path to piracy. However, even there the influence from the Golden Lion could be felt, and she was quick to use his name in order to open some doors for herself, such as free food and priviledges over the populace of the island.
Naturally, her mother didn't approve such behaviors, but she did her best to nudge Seika towards as best of a path as she could. She had to be commended, because it was her idea to prepare the young girl to be a proper match for the ruling class of the islands. Slowly but surely, she began to prepare the pirate's daughter to be a proper bride so that her father's reputation wouldn't catch up to her once his life outside the law ultimately caught up to him.
During the time Nikko spent trying to cut his ties with the Golden Lion, Seika had been busy reinforcing hers and using this power to get away with her petty actions. It was this way that she obtained the Tsuki Tsuki no Mi, a Devil Fruit left behind from Shiki's hunt for the Sun Sun fruit that he gifted Nikko. However, even if she ate it, she never truly bothered to learn how it worked. It's not like she knew how to swim anyway.
What made her finally turn into following her father's footsteps was the New Age of Piracy. Having moved to the East Blue at her mother's request in order to strike up a suitable couple, she opted to instead use the money she had been given to order up a ship to be built on a local shipyard and hire a crew in order to sail to the Grand Line. And then, once she became a great pirate, she'd use her magnificent fleet to free her father and rule the seas by his side. It'll be great.

---

Crew: The real Red Lion Pirates. A very real and proper pirate crew

Ship: The Crimson Vengeance - A sixty-five feet long single mast sloop that's being finished by the start of the story, designed for speed. It has ports for twelve cannons in total, but Seika ran out of money to outfit it with them. Not very outstanding

Specialty/Profession: Professional Honored Guest / Ship Captain (She claims to be, although she tends to relegate all of the tasks to someone else)

Fighting Style: Seika doesn't really fight, instead opting to let others take care of the other conflicts. If the push comes to shove, she'll show off her mediocre swordfighting skills and the repelling capabilities of her Devil Fruit.

Weapons: A rapier with a lion-themed hilt, a thin, 40 inches long blade emerging from its open mouth. She almost never uses it for combat, saying she carries it because a captain needs a proper weapon for her captaining duties, like pointing towards a direction or used a handrest whilst gazing towards the horizon.

Devil Fruit: Tsuki Tsuki no Mi - A Paramecia devil fruit known as the Moon Moon fruit. Regarded the sister fruit of the Sun Sun fruit, its performance is much more underwhelming than that its more impressive counterpart. Consuming the fruit will turn the user into a Moon Person. In contrast to the clear prowess of becoming an energy reactor, the person who consumes this fruit will gain the capability of pushing or pulling things surrounding them at will.
Through training, one can learn to control this force more carefully to the point of only exerting this force in a single direction or even on a single object. One can also learn how to maintain this force more consistently and over a longer period of time, otherwise it'd come off only in brief bursts that will eventually take a toll on its possessor's stamina.
It's been said that a master of this fruit's capabilities can fine-tune them enough to make objects orbit them or even be capable of manipulating the sea surrounding them to a minimal degree. Nevertheless, Seika has never bothered to train with this fruit, and as such her capabilities with this fruit are limited to pushing everything and everyone away from her in a short burst of force.

Items: Lots of books she tucked in the bookcases of her ship's captain quarters. Whilst a couple of them cover economy, geography and nautical matters, their pristine covers and pasty white sheets give away the fact that she prefers the fantastic and romantic novels and plays that far outnumber their educational counterparts. Also a golden steering wheel necklace.

Bounty: None, yet.

Color: "DC143C is a colour that definitely fits a great captain such as myself!"

Name: Raven Booth

Age: 24

Starting Location/Current Location: East Blue



Personality: Raven likes to act more mature than he is. He spends a lot of time putting on the persona of a cool and suave guy… he wants to look cool. That’s probably because he grew up idolizing heros and cool guys from stories and comics. He’s a bit of a nerd at heart… but he’s a good man. He wants to make the world a better place, to be the hero from the comics. He wants to do it all… while looking cool.

His personal brand of justice is… Justice OF THE HEART! “What should we!?” “FOOLS! WHAT DOES YOUR HEART SAY!?” He thinks it’s cool… but most of his men just think he’s a bit weird. A good man… but weird.

Dream/Goal: To Become Fleet Admiral!

History: Raven’s history isn’t one fraught with perils or dangers. It’s a simple story… You see long ago in the southern sea was the home, of an elderly farm couple. While farming a meteor fell from space and destroyed their crops… But in that meteor, Was RAVEN! A hero from outer space who came to earth to save the -BLAM-

The truth is, Raven was born to a merchant father and seamstress mother. They made good money and he was able to get by thanks to it. They bought him toys and books, comics all the things he could ever want. He grew up sheltered a bit and one day, his father was headed out to sea, being a merchant this was a common occurrence. Raven decided to go with him, to see what it was his father actually did. The seas were rough… a storm struck the boat, but it survived, just barely.

While recovering from the storm the ship was attacked by pirates, his father lived, but had to retire from the merchant life due to injuries… Raven doesn’t talk much about what caused the incident, or what happened on that ship… but it changed him. After the event, he made it his goal to become a marine and stop the pirates… to be… A GREAT HERO OF THE SEAS!!!
