One Piece: Seas of Villiany and Corruption OOC (Pacifista and Nocardia)

Will probably edit this post later.

[Pacifista]

Name: Hevel Baltassar
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Rank and Occupation: Seaman Recruit, Soldier

Appearance: Hevel is a good sized man, standing at six and a half feet tall. He isn’t much broader than the average man, but he is physically fit, having defined muscles. His brown hair is cut very short, and he has wide brown eyes, usually with an intense expression. He is clean shaven, though he could grow a beard if he gave it some time. His cheeks are somewhat sunken and his chin cleft. When on the job, he wears the standard Marine uniform, a white buttoned shirt, a blue ascot, a Marine cap, navy blue pants and boots. When off duty, he wears sleeveless shirts under open coats, long pants, and boots, usually with a cap or hat of some kind. He has two tattoos on the back of his hand; one of a human heart, the other a stylized Z. Because of this, he salutes in a way that shows neither his palm nor the back of his hand. Had he tried to join the Marines before the age of pirates, something as simple as tattoos might have kept him out, but with the swarms of Pirates on the seas, the Marines weren’t quite as picky as they might have been in past years.

Personality: Hevel is usually a fairly serious individual. He takes his job as a Marine seriously, though hasn’t made a name for himself quite yet. He rarely jokes himself, though he’ll chuckle along if he’s in a good mood. He loosens up considerably when under the influence of alcohol, being sort of a rowdy drunk. However, when it comes to himself, he tends to be private. No one knows the meaning of his tattoos since he doesn’t say, even when drunk. In fact, even mentioning them tends to get him a little more sober. He is also paranoid and suspicious sometimes, finding it hard to trust others sometimes. One thing others find amusing about him is the superstitions he follows. He seems to have an obscure superstition for everything, and will quote one if he feels it appropriate. He takes it completely seriously, though he sometimes looks silly. Despite his shortcomings, he’s reliable, one who has his trust has earned a competent ally.

Background: Hevel comes from a mysterious island called Solona, elsewhere in the South Blue. Some rumor surrounds the mysterious island, revolving around cultists, ritual sacrifices, and demons, but Hevel denies it. Rumor is just rumor, after all. He joined the Marines less than a year ago, not too long after the beginning of the Age of Pirates, and has since been stationed at Marine Base S-08. Given his preference to privacy and general secrecy, there isn’t a whole lot known about him.

(Most of his Backstory will be revealed IC ;o )

Fighting Style:Being a bit stronger than the average person, Hevel is strong, but no Monster. He carries his standard issue cutlass and rifle, but prefers a heavy mace with a long handle and a hand sickle. He uses the quicker hand sickle to cut and distract, giving him time to set up a heavy swing with his mace. He hasn’t even begun to unlock his true potential as a Marine soldier.

[Nocardia]

Name: Nello "Nel" Mackenzie
Age: 21
Gender: Okama~! (... Psh. Fine. Male.)
Race: Human
Rank and Occupation: Seaman Recruit, Soldier / Self-proclaimed professional beautician

Appearance:

As a man, Nel has an average build. He stands at 5'11" and due to his special type of training, he has a toned body that isn't lanky nor muscular and broad either, just bordering in between. Nel was initially labeled as a pretty boy, until the "boy" part start diminishing and the "pretty" became a little too pretty. His hair is turquoise and styled short, with various long strands in some places. His eyes are light brown in color, and are very defined due to his brilliant use of eyeliner. When working as a marine, he wears the disgusting standard marine uniform, cleans his smooth and soft face, and ties his silky hair into a small ponytail. And when he is no longer required to wear such dreadful garments and follow protocol, he does not hesitate to put on some lipstick and eye shadow nor flaunt his wardrobe which consists of an array of bright clothing and high-heeled boots.

Personality:
Nel is vain, narcissistic and impervious to people's criticism. He is who he is and he is damn proud of it. All of his actions and speeches are flamboyant and eye-catching, helping him fulfill his need to bask in attention. Though if you ignore how annoying he can get, Nel is actually a pretty good and nice guy. He is observant to people's moods and knows what to say to comfort or encourage them. WhSen it comes to ideals and principles, expect his to be honorable and just. Certainly there are times when he is selfish and proud, but he knows when his help is needed and if his actions are wrong.

Background: Nel was born in the capital village of Leroch island, a regular and civilized island that had a large population and was self-sustaining in all areas. It was a very traditional, practical, and, as Nel constantly complains, boring place to live. Once leaving the island, the first place he went to was the closest Marine Base he could apply at, S-08. The commanding officer was hesitant at first, but with the sudden arrival of the Age of Pirates, they needed any help they could get.

Fighting Style: Nel carries the usual sword and rifle that all marines are assigned with, but is subpar in using them. He's more of a hand-to-hand combat kind of guy, particularly in the magnificent art of Okama Kenpo. He has tried various other styles, but the grace and fluidity of the Okama Kenpo had him mesmerized the first time he saw it. He is not particularly skilled in it yet, since his only reference is a one-time visit to an Okama master and various books and scrolls regarding the style.

Woo~ Done! Hope nothing's wrong with him.

I have a feeling our characters will get along really well

Excellent, I'll have the IC up later today!

[Pacifista]

And here it is! ;o

I suppose this is just a prologue? Eh, we'll figure it out.

[Nocardia]

Posted~

Ah yes, this probably is just a prologue. I noticed that your other OP RPs had chapters, so perhaps the moment they set sail to get stronger would be the beginning of chapter one?

[Pacifista]

Yeah, that'll work. I might even edit the first post to account for the prologue. I don't think it will be that short though. Like I said, we'll work it out.

I don't know if I'll post tonight, but be warned, if I'm in the mood and have time, I can be a fast poster. I don't mind if you take longer though, just warning you. >:3

[Nocardia]

Kk~
I have been warned +___+ And I am not fearful of fast posts!... Maybe just a little bit.

/slowest poster eveeeeer

[Nocardia]

So... I was reading through the wiki again on marine ranks. And then I saw the rank of Ensign.
...
>//////<
I thought it was a first name when you mentioned it, so I used it as a first name in my second post.

My ignorance, it has become apparent D:
If you noticed that, and any other slip-ups I may make, feel free to correct me XD
If you did not notice... Just forget this entire post while I quietly go and edit my IC post :3

[Pacifista]

Suddenly your post made a bit more sense! I didn't notice though, else I might of said something.

But yeah, it's cool. I'll be posting tomorrow!
