"Distant Shooter" Den Grimsly
Age:
16
Race:
Birkan
Height:
5'6
Weight:
64.0 kg (141 lbs)
Bounty:
Den Grimsly has no bounty. Rather, he hunts people with bounties as a Rookie Bounty Hunter.
Personality:
Grimsly tends to be quite calm inside and outside of combat, and is difficult to surprise. He is quite appreciative of many things he finds in the Grand Line, as he comes from the sky islands - where many of the things in the Grand Line do not exist. He approaches most of his problems through thinking, rather than charging in mindlessly. He can be quite obnoxious at times when it comes to strategies, and enjoys nothing more than poking holes in the supposed foolproof plans of others. In a group, he takes the role of a 'deadpan snarker', and is normally the voice which points out flaws during discussions.
When in combat, Grimsly tries to abstain from speaking, maintaining his focus, but he has been known to make the odd taunting remark or two.
He also tends to use the greeting 'Heso', as they do in Skypiea.
History:
WIP
Grimsly hails from a Birkan family of Bounty Hunters. Before he was born, his family had moved from the warrior-filled sky island named Birka to the more peaceful and organized sky island; Skypiea. This did not excuse Grimsly from the battle-oriented culture of the Birkan race, and Grimsly was raised as both a Bounty Hunter and a warrior. His choice of weaponry had been decided fairly early in his life, as Grimsly demonstrated his gift of powerful eyesight at a young age. When he walked around Skypiea's beaches with his family, he would constantly point at things somewhat close to the horizon that were difficult to see, and would describe them with relative ease.
He was taught how to utilize multiple forms of guns, cannons and bows as he came of age. At no point was he shown how to use any melee weapons - save for a dagger which didn't require much skill to wield effectively, and was only to be used when there was no other combat option. As a result, Grimsly has little proficiency when it comes to fighting at close ranges.
Grimsly had a desire to collect different types of ranged weaponry, but felt extremely limited when it came to where he could go. Skypiea was only so big, and there would only be sea of clouds greeting him once he reached the sky island's edge. It was only in stories that he had heard of the fabled blue sea which supposedly lay below the cloud sea. It interested Grimsly as a collecter, and as a fighter.
Through the use of a four-length bird, Grimsly was able to travel from the sky, to the blue sea below. He had managed to get to the Grand Line this way, and has arrived on his first island.
Abilities:
Marksmanship
Den Grimsly is a marksman, and owns a various assortment of ranged weaponry; extending from the basic pistols to a long-range rifle or bazooka. His ranged arsenal even extends to a bow, a slingshot and two crossbows. In combat, Grimsly constantly switches his weapons. He may be found firing a pistol for the first few seconds of a fight, but may switch to his long-range rifle to take a shot at enemy crew member on an another ship. His constant weapon-shifting keeps enemies on their toes and wary. Naturally, Grimsly's focus on ranged weapons leaves him at a very clear disadvantage versus anyone who can close the distance between him and them, as he lacks a significant melee weapon to fight with, and wouldn't be very proficient with it regardless. This combat style always makes people question where he actually stores his weapons. Not even he knows.
Vision
His eyesight is exceptional, and he is able to see over much longer distances than the average person. He is able to make out people on faraway ships, making him valuable as a ship's lookout (although he tends to get quite bored, doing that).
