Doubtful at the moment that I can get a sample up before Monday, but until then, here's what I've been working on. [hider=Hakka Jitte] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/xFsFwKz.png[/img][/center] [b]Name:[/b] Deserter Hakka Jitte and the Vagabond Pirates 47,000,000 Beri [b]Character Description:[/b] Hakka Jitte is a writer, a scientist, an explorer, and a pirate. He's a former Marine who found himself swayed by the mysteries of the Devil’s Seas. He left the service with his spider-sword, a freed prisoner, a Devil Fruit, and no permission. Now on the run with a ragtag band of criminals as enchanted by the sea's power as he is, Hakka hopes to find and catalog all the mysteries he can in his very own Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. With his book in hand, Hakka hopes to unite all the Devil Fruits of the world with their perfect partners, bringing them and the world a measure of peace. [b]Character Goals:[/b] Luffy is a character who tends to accept everything presented to him at face value. He absorbs what he needs for the plot and then Gum-Gum Rockets off directly into it, with absolutely no care for details. I’m interested in Hakka because he’s the opposite. He is a thinker, and a scientist, detail oriented to a fault. He shares Luffy’s wanderlust and wonder, but he has a much more academic bent to his curiosity. Its not enough to just [i]see[/i] the world’s strangest things, but to record them, test them, and relate those findings back to the whole world. He hopes to demystify what strangeness lies beyond the Grand Line and in the fruit of the devil; he looks forward to a future where such things have become commonplace, so that everyone can experience the magic as he has. [b]Organization:[/b] Vagabond Pirates [b]Occupation/Position:[/b] Captain of the Vagabond Pirates, former Marine Captain [b]Starting Sea:[/b] South Blue [b]The Crew:[/b] [hider= The Vagabond Pirates Crew] [center][b]Crew Overview[/b][/center] [indent]The Vagabond Pirates are a writer, a photographer, and a grumpy prisoner. They are so called for their continual inability to hold down a seafaring vessel for any length of time. Every character onboard engages with art in some fashion, and has some kind of fascination with Devil Fruits. If either or both of those are your character, feel free to join![/indent] [center][img]https://cdna.pcpartpicker.com/static/forever/images/user/119542.91013b1622c7faa944bb3f4f2e09184b.256c.jpg[/img][/center] [center]Hakka Jitte - Captain - No DF [/center] [indent]See above! A former Marine in search of all the magic this world has to offer.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/WOQ4Bmx.png[/img][/center] [center]Malen Verf - First Mate - Paint Paint Fruit[/center] [indent]Malen is a former prisoner of the Navy, a small time pirate who agreed to help Hakka steal a mysterious Devil Fruit. His ambition was always to eat one and become a powerful and legendary pirate, but after taking a bite out of what turned out to be the Paint-Paint Fruit, he’s dissatisfied with the match. As Hakka is the only Devil Fruit researcher he knows, he’s joined the crew in hopes of finding a way to lose his troublesome fruit.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/lJF6FNr.png[/img][/center] [center]Douglas D. Diver - Navigator - No DF[/center] [indent]Douglas D. Diver is an undersea photographer and part time inventor. They use their knowledge of the sea and burgeoning navigation skill to get the crew where they need to go. Douglas wants to find a Devil Fruit that can coexist with the sea, and believes that Hakka is the man that can get them closest to it.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/TPjwf0X.png[/img][/center] [center]Charlotte - Crew Pet - Spider Spider Fruit Orb Weaver Model[/center] [indent]Charlotte is a sword that has ‘eaten’ a devil fruit through unknown means. Hakka received her as a kind of badge of office during his time with the Marines.[/indent] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Lc10Ivn.png[/img][/center] [center]Nekonokame - Crew Pet - No DF[/center] [indent]Hakka’s tabby cat. A fat layabout with six toes to a paw. The Vagabond Pirate’s flag flies from his tail.[/indent] [/hider] [b]Devil Fruit/Special Abilities:[/b] Charlotte's Spider-Spider Fruit Orb Weaver Model: Hakka’s sword, Charlotte, has become a Spider-Weapon, capable of splitting off eight additional bladelike legs. As well, Charlotte can fire weblines from both her tip and each of her legs, and is further able to weave these threads into several useful configurations. Malen Verf’s Paint-Paint Fruit: A special paramythia fruit that turns the user into a ‘Paint Human’, allowing him to turn his whole body into paint, fire gouts of paint, and fast-dry paint into a kind of armor. However, Malen’s proficiency with his fruit is very low. He is given to leave multicolored footsteps in his wake, and is more often than not vulnerable to conventional attack -- he struggles to grasp the Logia-esque applications of his ability. Douglas’ Diving Suit: A full metal outfit worn and created by Douglas D. Diver, designed to withstand the immense pressures of the sea. The suit has an internal oxygen supply, as well as the option to connect via conventional diving hose for extended undersea exploration. Douglas’ suit is also their combat uniform, up-armored, and with integrated weapon systems, firing a variety of hooks, wires, and simple projectiles.
