One Piece: New Age

Zypha winced a little as she looked over the knocked out captain. She was certainly going to have a bruise showing up soon. A quick survey of her surrounds revealed that there were few to no threats left to worry about. Unfortunately the Captain had very little left on him after gambling most of it away. Still she managed to pinch a few random accessories and coins before she heard Lenwood speak.

"Hey! I think we should leave! We will have more people coming if we stay here longer! Follow me!" She looked lazily at the door, "Huh, guess he must be the one who passed out those flyers I saw around. Well the marines might come here after the ruckus so I might as well go, but first..." Zypha looked at the fallen man's axe, the big unwieldy looking thing that seemed like it could split trees. Her trained eyes quickly found what she was looking for, a fracture in the handle's woodwork barely detectable to the eye. With a precise hit with the tip of her scythe she cracked and shattered the handle.

With that big of revenge done, she took a quick work at her own scythe handles, admiring the woodwork for a second, of her own design, and then wrapped the chain around her waist and put away her weapons. Striding out of the room she quickly observed the others who had been in the fight. They seemed fairly young, not that she was old mind you, but she had a feeling they would be inexperienced. Still her instincts were saying there was an opportunity in the air so she would stick around and see for now.

Zypha should have seen the big man coming at her but she had a little preoccupied keeping tabs on the surrounding rabble to make sure she did not get stabbed in the back. Realizing she had little room to move back and not enough time to dodge, she did the next best thing. Zypha steeled herself for the heavy blow from the captain. As the large man had been using such a heavy axe naturally he had quite a bit of strength in his arms; thankfully Zypha was not exactly a snowflake and instead was rough-and-tumble fighter.

Zypha gritted her teeth and dug in her heels as the fist slammed into her stomach. True to her grit, she managed to stay in place but dang the man's fist hurt. It would have done less damage if she had rolled with the punch, so to speak, but she was determined to end the fight once and for all, because she took the blow she was now in the perfect position.

"You really know how to treat a lady, now don't ya Rusty? Well let me return the favor!" With that said, she gripped the handle of the scythe still in her hand, making a nasty fist and brought it up under the man's chin. Putting all her strength into the fist, her intention was to hit the man so hard that it would knock him out, or at least put him out of commission. She wasn't about the kill someone on a marine infested island so she made sure only the fist clenched around the scythe handle would hit the pirate.

It was time to bring this brawl to a close.

One Piece: New Age

"Good Lord, the Rustsilver pirates? With a name like that you guys must be about as valuable as tin." Zypha half-smiled as things took a rather drastic turn as the pirates started to attack. Thankfully the pirates had plenty of targets and it seemed like the captain wanted a piece of her himself, actually two pieces if his giant axe had anything to say about it. That axe looked rather large and heavy meaning defending was not a good option, she would have to dodge.

Considering the rather restricting area of the bar Zypha really had only one option, to leap back which she did right before the giant axe smashed into the floorboards, splintering them to kingdom-come. Zypha quickly unwrapped her twin chain-scythe, which she kept around her waist. Grabbing part of the chain she gave one of her scythe plenty of slack as she started to twirl the deadly weapon around. "You know you could use some aiming practice, but don't worry I'll give you a good example."

Having more than enough momentum she hurled the business end at his right arm, hoping to maim his arm so he'd be unable to effectively wield his axe anymore. The blade zinged through the air toward its target. While she watched she kept her other scythe ready in case she needed to defend herself from another attack.

Zypha narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips mockingly at the man. She was trying hard not to make it too overt but at this point it may have already been too late. The man looked ready to charge straight ahead despite any potential consequences out of pure rage. "Crap I might have pushed him a little too far." The man reached for his remaining cash and was about to call the game meaning Zypha had only one course left to take, she quickly ampped up a greedy look on her face. The man caught sight of the utter look of euphoria and thought better of it, taking his Belli back and turning over his cards.

"Damn it fine, I can't afford to lose any more to some dog." The man practically growled at her as he spoke, throwing daggers with his eyes alone.

Zypha breathed an inward sigh of relief as she gathered up the pot. "Thank you for your generous donations to my life funds, much appreciated." The midnight-haired woman chuckled as she gathered the loot. "I guess you losers deserve to see my last hand." Zypha laughed as she lazily tossed on the table her pair of queens. Upon the reveal her opponent's eyes with red with anger.

"Damn you! If I had called you'd have nothing left!"

"But you didn't cause you completely lost sight of the game, like I basically said before you're sooo hard to read. Now I'll take my leave." Zypha got up from the table and turned around but then she felt her arm get caught in the man's grip.

"Now I"m not about to be taken for a fool by some bi-" His sentence was cut short by a powerful fist to his face. Zypha's eyes turned cold as she watched the man stagger back, clutching his now bloody mouth.

"Hands off swine or I'll tenderize you with extreme prejudice." Zypha glared all around her as the other men she had swindled in the game were getting ready to fight as well. Weapons were close to being drawn but thankfully they were in a bar and most did not want to antagonize any dangerous elements in the immediate area. Still a brawl was very close to erupting out over what could be called spilt milk.

I'll keep an eye out for the reboot. May or may not rejoin but if I do will probably just use the same character again.

Zypha Celtus looked across the table at her remaining opponent. In the middle was a small, but decently priced, pot in their little game of poker. The other three contenders had already folded and were now watching with mild interest at the game between the two. Zypha studied her opponent carefully while lazily looking at her own cards. It was a bloody awful hand really, with only a pair of queens there was a high chance her opponent had the better of her but her sly poker face made it appear like she was in a good position.

She had arrived in Arlen a few days ago but had gotten stuck when she ran out of cash. Thankfully she was the resourceful sort and so a little work, and a small bounty catch had given her some money to work with. That money was now being put to use in this small wagering game to gain enough money for her next move. If she could just win this last round she would have quite a few options open to her. Arlen was not exactly a prized island to work on due to the high population of marines so she needed a way off and the money would ensure that, if she could win it.

Zypha made sure to give a small knowing smile as she studied her opponent, a slightly balding mercenary type who was trying to look as deadpan as possible. People that tried to hard with their poker faces could be the easiest to read. "Ahh, its so hard to tell what you're thinking with that dead-fish look." She gave a slight yawn, knowing exactly what the man was thinking. He had a mediocre hand at best and was desperately trying to decide if her demeaner meant she was confident in her hand or was just bluffing her way.

"Better hurry up and decide before your two remaining brain cells shrivel up and die." She joked nastily making her opponent's forehead veins start to pop in anger.

"Shut up woman! I won't let you patronize me!"

"Eh, already did so too late for that, are you gonna shut me up with that hand or not?" She goaded on, seriously messing with the other player. While he cursed she noticed a flyer tucked away at the corner of the table, something about looking for crew or whatever, but now wasn't the time for that, she had to manipulate this guy into believing she was trying to get him to stay in the game. Her immediate future was somewhat dependent on it after all.

One Piece: New Age

As the only one who can actually swim, I think Zypha had better take the shipwright role, since any significant damage below deck could prove a very serious problem for a devil fruit user.

One Piece: New Age

Hmm I was just taking a look at the characters that are in the roleplay and noticed there was a bit of an inbalance among the crew gender-wise. Anyway was just thinking of modifying my character slightly and making it a female instead, just cause I like balance in roleplays. Well this would be the female version of Zygard, pretty much the same but with a few small differences.

Zypha Celtus

Name: Zypha Celtus

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Appearance:


Personality:

Zypha is a woman of the world and very down-to-earth. Having grown up with a very rough childhood Zypha quickly learned what it meant to survive and how to lookout for oneself. She can very a very sarcastic individual and is not afraid of being rude or callus, so she can rub people the wrong way fairly easily. Despite these character flaws, and at times selfish attitude, she will fiercely defend her crewmates with all her ferocity when they are threatened by others.

Zypha also possesses a very strong will and is actually quite clever. She has a strong resolve to keep bettering herself in combat and learning, so she will often try something new if she thinks it would be beneficial to herself or the crew. Zypha is also willing to go to great lengths and take serious chances if she believes the result to be worth it.

Devil Fruit/ Weapon of expertise:

Zypha’s choice of weapon is a twin Chain-Scythe. The Scythe blades are black with a dark blue triangle pattern across the edged-side of the blades. The blades are long and curved on their ‘business’ ends with short spike-like edges on the opposite side making both sides quite dangerous. The handles are made of essentially dark brown ironwood, polished to perfection with some of the traditional ‘imperfections’ and patterns that wood based pieces have. A dark blue chain connects the twin scythe at the ends of the handles, making the weapon not only a deadly pseudo-projectile but also a potential grappling hook, among other uses.

Accepted by me as well!

@Jensoman

Seeing as how everyone was so gunho about Devil Fruit Powers I figured the crew really needed someone who could swim. Ha ha.
