Name: Griffin Rampart
Age: 17
Race: Human
Height and Weight: 5'8", 143lbs
Pirate or Marine: Marine


Bounty: None

Personality: Griffin is a pious individual who believes wholeheartedly in the World Government. Though brash in his actions and subsequently prone to conflict, he is a rather calm youth in appearance and seemingly lazy to the untrained eye. He finds injustice among the common folk deplorable and outright hate most pirates. Usually not giving them the chance to spin a lie with their silver tongues. When confronted himself, its revealed that he hates to be challenged, regardless of rank, stature, or gender. He adamantly sticks to his ideals even if they are wrong. When he was younger he was fond of sucking his thumb and can sometimes be caught falling into the old habit.

History: His past is not so different from many other Marine recruits. Born in the East Blue, not quite sure himself on which island, Griffin was the result of scandalous fling between a Gorosei and a beauty. When he was young he was the center of a series of depraved events. Eventually he was to be killed, along with his mother but that didn't happen. She escaped the grasp of the Gorosei but eventually was the victim of pirates. She was later tossed into the ocean, clutching baby Griffin in the unforgiving sea.

When he was older, he was told this story by his aunt and uncle, who explained that his mother had made it to them on sheer will and died the after arriving. He was focused on revenge after that for the long story had voiced the love his mother held for him and he wanted desperately to return it to her. So he joined the Marines at the age of thirteen. At first he had little going for him, he was weak and fragile, easily broken and emotionally sensitive. But after going out on patrol and traveling to a island with pirate activity he was changed. Through the conflicts and eerily enough carrying Nidai Kitetsu, he returned booming with ambition.

A year after he was taken from ranks of those that would never grow and trained personally by a Marine swordsmaster. For another year they practiced and honed his skills; it would had been another if not for the announcement made by a certain band of pirates. With that came a wind of change and with a wind change came Griffin's call for introduction. He was sent to Loguetown by his mentor.

Abilities: A swordsmen first and foremost, Griffin has been trained extensively on a deserted island by his Marine mentor. His skills are impressive for his age, his dedication to his art even more so. He has enough strength to a cut a tree in half effortlessly and can arrest the common pirate easily enough. When he engage his foes, he has no stance only a keen eye and instinctive fondness for combat.

Name: Nicholas Rigel

Age: 26

Race: Human

Height and Weight: Nicholas stands in about five feet and eight inches tall, and weighs about 55 to 60kg.

Pirate or Marine: Marine

Appearance:

Bounty: None

Personality: Nicholas probably is the most relaxed among the three Admirals. He's very energetic, and quite optimistic in all things that he does. He loves to give people funny names, and teases them a lot. Although most of the time Nicholas behaves a little care-free, he can also be quite perceptive and enigmatic.

History: He came from the island of Bayleaf in East Blue. The island was supposed to be the center of astrological studies, and for thousands of years, it was being inhabited by astronomers and scientist to study heavenly bodies. Both Nicholas's parents were scientists in this island. They were happy for a time, satisfied with what they do and the sense of peacefulness the island gives them, until all of that was taken away when a certain group of pirates invaded Bayleaf. His parents was quick to notice that there was something wrong in town, and so they hid Nicholas along with other important stuff in a cargo crate at the bottom of their basement hoping that no one will notice him there. It was the longest night for little Nicholas, he heard explosions, gun fires, sounds of metal clashing, and most definitely the villagers' cries. The sounds tormented his young mind well enough that exhaustion soon took over. The next morning when woke up, he heard voices of men talking just on top of his crate. Then what he did next was either stupid or brave, he burst out of his box then screamed on top of his lungs hoping it'll scare them away. Sure they were startled, but they didnt walked away as he expected. The men exchanged looks then one of them lift Nicholas up from the crate. They told him that they are Marines who came to help the villagers from the raiding pirates, but they arrived a little too late and could save only a few. Unfortunately his parents didnt make it. One of the men offered to take care of Nicholas, and with his village destroyed and having no where to go, Nicholas agreed to go with him. From there on out, he trained to become a Marine himself hoping that by doing so he could save lives, and could prevent another tragedy like the one happened to the island of Bayleaf.

Type: Superhuman

Abilities: Nicholas can use Haki, particularly the Bosushoku Haki. This enables him to reinforce his attacks to deal more damage, and to bypass certain protection a Devil's Fruit user has allowing him to hit the user's real body. Naturally, Bosushoku Haki is also an invisible armor that protects the user from particular attacks, and with Nicholas case, he could deflect most basic attacks by imbuing Haki to cetain parts of his body to block of the damage. Aside from Haki, Nicholas also knows how to use Rokushiki. He can use all six techniques efficiently, but he particularly specializes with Soru. The technique gives him the usual advantage of moving in great speed, but he has done a couple of variations to it as well. For example, he can reinforce his fist with Haki and then with Soru, punches the enemy in an extremely fast pace giving them no time to keep up. Or he can imbue his body with Haki, making himself stone hard, and then hurls himself with such speed towards the enemy, knocking them real hard.

Techniques:

• Shigan: Nagareboshi (Pistol Finger: Shooting Star) - using the basic Rokushiki technique Shigan, Nicholas extends the range of its attack, allowing him to shoot a projectile version of Shigan towards his target, dealing the same damage as that of a close range Shigan.
• Shigan: Ryusei (Pistol Finger: Meteor Shower) - using both index fingers, Nicholas shoots multiple projectile Shigan towards his target in a relentless barrage.
• Soru: Tekkai Dama (Shave: Iron Ball) - its a combination of Soru and Tekkai with the reinforcement of his Haki. Basically, Nicholas applies Tekkai to his whole body making it steel hard and then hurls himself in great speed towards his target. This is as good as a cannon shot.
• Soru: Pistol Waltz - its a combination of Soru and Shigan where Nicholas starts to run really fast in several random direction around his target, making him almost invisible except for the wind trails he makes, and then starts firing Shigan in random.
• Rokougan - the ultimate move for Rokushiki fighters. It needs great mastery of all the six techniques in order for one to perform this move. Technically, Nicholas places both fist infront of him and then launches a powerful shockwave that destroys anything on its path.

Inventory: A small black den den mushi strapped on his wrist, and a huge sword he calls Maria.
