Devil Fruit: Itami Itami no mi- Pain pain fruit
Devil Fruit Sheet
Type: Paramacia
Effect: The eater of this fruit gains an extremely high tolerance to pain allowing the user to withstand attacks far better than most. Along with a pain tolerance, the ability to completely nullify his own pain receptors. This fruit also causes the user to create a fluid like substance that can inflict a pain that's only mentally and simply requires touching the target's body.
The fluid, however, causes the part coated in it to simply go through the body, meaning it can't physically touch or harm; as an example his hand will go through a target's arm, but leaving the part covered in the fluid and forcing the person to feel whatever pain he had designated it within his head. It also means blocking with the body will not work, but objects and weapons can block it, though clothes is an exception that can't block it.
This fruit has no physical attacks or can cause any physical damage, but in cost of losing any physical attacks. Allows this fruit to even affect logia users for as long as the fluid gets onto them. It attacks the mind with pain that isn't there and in some cases, if the pain is severe enough that it can actually leave some damage like a burn mark or cut if the target believes the pain enough. It can cause such an intense pain that it can even fool one's body into shutting itself down, thus killing the target, though those with stronger wills and pain tolerance can better withstand the effects. Such enemies will require more time, but over time the fluid's effect grow stronger and weakens the targets body and resistance.
Like with himself, it can not only inflict pain, but can double the amount of pain or nullify their senses so one could feel nothing or a simple punch would hurt twice as much with his pain doubling. There are various other ways to use the fluid and is able to coat an object to add the effect and increase the user's range of attack, but doing so makes it so the weapon can no longer do any phyiscal harm or damage as like coating the body give it an intangible effect. This fruit is only limited by his imagination and creativity of all sorts of pain.
The one drawback of this fluid is that creating the fluid is a large drain on the user's stamina and requires one with an excess of stamina to use it properly. One who masters this fruit can gain a brief logia aspect by coating the entire body to become intagible to physical attacks, but weapons can still hit and harm the user.
Techniques: 1. Itami Touch: The basic of his fruit ability where the doctor thinks of a certain pain then creates the fluid with the set pain to either coat his palms or entire hand. The fluid can be extended onto object or weapon that he holds, though makes the weapon unable to do any physical damage when doing this as it would simple go through the body like with coating it over his hands. The thicker the fluid, the stronger the effect as the effect can last up to two to three minutes or continously for as long as the doctor remains in contact with the target's body.
2. Pill of life and death: Condensing the fluid into a gel like pill in a blue or red color. -The blue pill has the effect of completely nullifying one's sense of pain for five minutes (5 posts) Doing so allows the target to fight without restraint and bring out power most are normally unable to access due to the restrictions by their senses, but carries the risk of the user not knowing the damage they receive and could take a fatal blow without knowing it until the pill wears off. Even more that once the pill wears off, any pain they would received while it was active will hit their body all at once so the pill should only be taken as a last resort.This pill is for allies for it has no effect on the doctor. -The red pill is the opposite and instead doubles the target's pain so any damage they take would feel as if it was twice as strong and painful. It lasts for five minutes; same as the blue pill and is meant to be used as a trick for most opponents will not know the effects of this pill when pretending to offer to help with the effects that the blue pill has.
3. Pain down memory lane: Not only is the fruit capable of giving or taking away pain in the body, but can do so in the mind as well. By placing his hand on the target's forehead and focusing, he can take away a memory that causes that person pain. Doing so will completely take the memory and all memories linked to it the point that it never happened and with it taken completely from their mind cannot be remembered in anyway, besides having the doctor returned the memory. Because of the high concentration it requires as well as the target to keep one of the memory in their mind as well as time it takes; it requires the target to willingly allow the doctor to take the memory. In taking away one's pain, he is then able to absorb the memory into his body and uses the pain to increase the overall effectiveness and strength of his fruit allowing it to work faster and easier on those with strong wills or high pain tolerance. The more and stronger painful memory he takes the stronger the fluid's power becomes.
4. Salting Wounds: After touching the target's body, he can learn the body and mind's history of wounds and scars both mentally and physically. He is then able to forcefully open the old wounds, adding to Itami touch to wear down the body and mind.
5. Pain Enhancer: Coating the hand or weapon in a fluid that will double the pain received from the part of the body struck by or, though if the target is hit square ont he chest then will affect the entire body. Can be used in conjecture with Itami touch with one hand using it and one hand using pain enhancer for combos with his attacks.
-Has not learned-
6. Pain Link-This is considered to be one of the doctor's most dangerous, yet risky techs. The doctor when touching the target can activate it and on the spot he touched will leave a skull tattoo not colored in. It lasts for ten minutes and can't be removed unless he cancels it or is knocked unconscious. Over the next ten minutes, for every attack or damage his body receives, the skull will gradually fill in and the stronger the damage the faster it fills it, though the doctor needs to withstand attacks and take damage for this to work. Once the ten minutes are over, the skull will glow and depending on how filled it in will cause the target's body to instantly take all the damage and pain that the doctor had taken, though unlike the doctor, the pain will be doubled if its 50 % filled, tripled if the entire skull was filled and quadrupled if both the skull and eyes were filled in. If he faints or is knocked out then it is canceled, though the target will still receive the damage that the doctor had taken up to that point, though not enhanced. If used in conjecture with Pain enhancer will further increase the pain the target receives.
Personality: The doctor, or as he goes by, has a seeming calm nature who will often be seen smiling. He enjoys teasing and messing around with people's head and those who fascinate him will enjoy inflicting pain. Behind his smile is a twisted, sadistic individual who sees everyone around him as a patient as he never trusts anyone completely.
Biography: A past mired in secret and mystery as no one knows who or where he came from, but suddenly at the age of 17 had appeared in the underground network as a black market doctor. There have been talks and rumors of his booming achievements as nearly every single case of his had ended successfully; even those that even the most expert of doctors failed to operate properly. This of course had made his service extremely expensive, though sometime even took a patient for free, whether for a favor or simply out of a whim as a nature of a doctor.
Since then, The Doctor has slowly become more well known among top individuals in the underground world. His services sought after by many for his seeming miracle skills, though those who wronged him or tried to scam him. Those were often found a broken husk with their minds shattered; no signs of damage or surgery done on them whatsover, leaving people wondering how the unknown doctor pulled off such feats.
Soon the marines would dub him a modern Jack the ripper, a man just as elusive and impossible to find. Some even thinking he was merely a fabricated story and further making the name given to him all the more proper.
Years pass as his name grew in infamy and instilling fear into those hearing his name. A man surrounded by mystery and death, who's goals or aims unknown.
Those who had tried to learn or research of the man had come up with nothing, seemingly as if all files or information were purposely destroyed as not even his actual name is known. With the imminent threat of the marines getting close to finding his base of operation and decided it was time to move on from being a black market doctor. The marines arriving at his hidden lab to find it burned and no traces of the doctor who had left for the sea.
Deciding to try being a pirate, simply cause it fascinated him and would allow him to meet all sorts of strange possible clients and to inflict pain for fun.
what can I say? I've been working on this char for a long time *chuckles*
He's unbelievably broken, though. You've taken Magellan's power, and then gave him five more somewhat-related powers on top of that because apparently you didn't think Magellan was powerful enough, including the ability to make him into a Logia at will.
@Earnest Evans naw, he ain't broken. the devil fruit can easily be blocked by weapons and it has a very short range. That and its not instant and takes time, espeically on those with strong wills/durability. course I have more advanced techs to help make up for that later on hue hue
he's also very physically weak and if not for his df to help nullify his sense of pain then he'd be taken out pretty easily as he has little battle experience
Being blocked by weapons is hardly an issue for a liquid, especially one that goes through clothes and is effective the second it touches the skin. A single touch from your character will logically result in a flawless victory for him, considering the sheer number of things he can do. Beyond that, your character's powers violate the key rule of Devil Fruit: you only get one power, that you're expected to adapt to a variety of situations.
You've got "Produces pain fluid at will", "can manipulate memories", "can share pain with others", "can telekinetically open scars", "can stop pain at will", and "can change the formation of his body [into pain fluid]".
its all illusionary though and doesn't actually inflict damage and as I said even if it hits once the effect will generally be weak and will require multiple hits unless he's able to maintain contact, which with his weak body would be hard to do. He can only take away one's painful memories and nothing more, not to mention the person has to do so willingly otherwise he can't do this. and he doesn't change his body into fluid, but coats his body in the fluid which gives a semi intangibliity that can be bypassed by weapons/armor or hard clothing. it can only bypass normal fabric and to open scars he has to touch the person's body, though if the target has little scars then this tech will barely do much damage.
I suppose, if it's entirely useless against anyone with more than regular cloth for armor, takes multiple hits to have any effect, and is only effective against bare flesh, that would work. Besides, not feeling pain in combat is significantly more of a hindrance than ever actually feeling pain.
I still take issue with the multiple powers you've given your character. How does "resistant to pain" translate into "can create pain fluid and manipulate memories"?
Well, he doesn't always completely turn off his pain sensors. mostly dulls them at most to make it easier to withstand.
Its not multiple powers. its all centered around inflicting or affecting one's pain as he can give or take it away. Considering pain is but something the mind creates to protect the body and signals which is the same for painful memories. The fluid is what his devil produces to do such effects and more so that it requires stamina to create said fluid so he can't go creating a huge amount of it without it tiring him out greatly. As for the memory thing. It requires the person to think of a strong, painful memory and it takes all his concentration to take that pain out which takes the memories involved with it as a side-effects thus it has to be done willingly.
