He's not the only navigator on his ship, but he is the best. His nose and ears can detect storms quicker than others and his far sight helps to spot markers on the sea. [b]Age[/b]: 20 [b]Age Appearance[/b]: 20 [b]Allegiance[/b]: Marines [b]Personality[/b]: As his nickname hints at, he's a man who loves to hunt down targets of the Marines. He's a very serious person who focuses on his assigned duties. He tends to fall on the more quiet side when he's on a stroll with nothing to do. He takes a more vicious tone when dealing with enemies. In his eyes, there are only two types of people. Enemies and allies. If they aren't helpful, then they're enemies. If there was one word to describe him, it would be wrathful. He takes noticeable care to hide that side of him, but it comes out whenever he deals with pirates or other enemies. He has a personal justice he upholds close to his heart. It was fortunate that it coincided with the Marines' general style of justice, which is why he works for them. [b]Laugh[/b]: "Fuhahahahaha!" [b]Birthplace[/b]: West Blue [b]History[/b]: Karma Vincent was an orphan. From the very moment he could recall, he lived in a simple orphanage in the West Blue. It was a rough place where he had to focus on nothing but survival. He had no time to think about anything else. Nobody would care for a 7-year old boy in this place. In a rush to struggle for a better lifestyle, he bumped into some small time crime family. Unfortunately for him, they made the excuse that he trashed their suit by walking into them and forcefully put him to work for their gang. The only reason they picked him up was because they were curious about his animal ears. They probably thought he had mink blood in him. That was the kind of place he lived in. An island that didn't care about a child going missing. He adapted, worked hard, and managed to secure a position for himself in this family by the time he was 15 years old. Even with the bonds people forged with him in this family, he never forgot how he was forcefully conscripted into it. So, he destroyed it. With his own hands, he set fire to the family base and ruined the leaders. The lackeys scattered throughout the West Blue and the leaders were caught and sent to prison by the local Marines stationed on the island. He bonded with the family. It wouldn't be strange for Stockholm Syndrome to set in and it may have happened a little bit. However, Karma turned on them with a savage reprisal and destroyed everything. The Marines commended him for a good job and recommended that he join them. In his eyes, they were absolutely useless for not doing what he did. So, he joined them. At least to create a world where he'll never be oppressed like that again. He wants absolute control, which coincides with the Marines' way of justice. 5 years later, he is now a Lieutenant. His goal inching every bit closer with each promotion he earns. He's going to hunt down evil and uphold his personal justice. [b]Goal[/b]: Karma's dream is a world with zero oppression and zero freedom. Those two may sound contradictory at first, but he came to the conclusion that everyone has evil in them. He's no exception to this. With hard laws that ban any evil behavior and enforcers to destroy any violators of that law, people would eventually be too afraid to let that evil out. No freedom to commit evil and no oppression to force people to commit evil. That's the goal he made for himself, and he's going to do anything to make it come true. [b][u]Combat[/u][/b] [u]Haki[/u] Type of Haki: Observation Control: Intermediate - Can sense the presence and intent of others when focused. Special Skills: None Type of Haki: Conqueror's Control: Novice - Can put fear into animals and weaker-willed people. Can't direct its effects accurately, so it hits everyone in the area. Special Skills: None [u]Weapons/Equipment[/u] A single flintlock pistol with incredible stopping power. It holds 5 bullets and fires with strong recoil. [u]Fighting Skills/Attributes[/u] Karma was blessed with a physically strong body. It might've been due to the mink blood running in him, but he isn't as naturally gifted as a full-blooded one and he also lacks the Electro they have. What he did specialize in however was his speed and accuracy. He learned the parts of the human body and he trained his speed to quickly dispatch his opponents. [i]Fighting Style[/i]: Karma fights calmly by using his Observation Haki to read his opponent and neutralize them efficiently. Usually with bullets to the limbs, or the chest/head if it's a job that requires killing. The instant he fires more than 10 bullets from his gun, he tosses it to the side and his demeanor shifts along with his fighting style. He takes a more savage stance as he readies his hands and closes in on his opponent with ferocity and swiftness. [/hider]
