Name: Jackal Ventmaw
Appearance:
(rarely will he take his armor off at all, he even sleeps in it.)
Height/Weight: 6'0 200 lbs
Age: 18
Personality: Quiet, and holds honor and chivalry as his Morales. He may be a pirate but he has a certain ethical code to go by. Namely he respects all opponents regardless of how weak, antagonizing, or disrespectful, and he refuses to plunder or commit crimes unless it is for the purpose of his crew or at the very least someone or something else.
He enjoys sparring and reading as his favorite pass times.
Home Island/Sea: Hails from south blue but not from any island.
History: Jackal was born on a ship called the hellkite, owned by a large band of pirate mercenaries who went by the name of the dragon's tooth. The pirates were mostly comprised of three families, The Ventmaws, Harbingers, and Boltwings, who had united years ago supposedly under the guidance of a talking sea dragon or serpent, however the bulk of their legend and the sea serpent itself are more likely rumors if anything. The pirate group acted more as freelance mercenaries for hire, that acted upon a strict code of knight-like honor and chivalry, though skewed in a way that it wouldn't interfere with their pirate lifestyle and mercenary business. Whatever job they were hired to do they would do it to the best of their ability and never take anything more of their employer's reward. The crew, now five generations in, were born and bound to life on the ship, never resting anywhere else. The families also had prized the Ryu Ryu Devil fruit, which was said to be given to the families by the sea dragon. Jackal was trained by his father starting at the age of five of his designating weapons of lance and shield, the same style his father fought. This training continued until the day the crew fell. After the crew had successfully killed a celestial dragon they were exterminated the day after by elite marine forces, those that survived were hanged at the gallows. Jackal had escaped with the help of his father, he was no older then 13 on the day that he was sent off the sinking ship in a pile of driftwood and debris with his fathers armor, lance, great shield, and the family's driftwoods, hearing his fathers last words "Carry on the family name, when you get to shore, equip my gear Jackal, and eat the devil fruit, for you are destined to continue the legacy of the followers of the great serpent." These words he has still never forgotten, and he follows his instructions accordingly.
Fruit: Ryu Ryu no mi, a mythic zoan class fruit. While Jackal can partially transform he cannot currently commit to a full transformation, his previous attempts caused him to go unconscious.
The fruit gives the user the passive traits of an incredible resistance to heat and fire, heightened physical ability and senses, namely in sight and smell, as the user can smell with their tongue.
Partial transformation:
He becomes a 15 foot, 1 ton lizard beast. In addition to his great strength, his scales are as durable as Iron, making standard weapons and bullets nearly in effective against his hide, however his belly is of softer scutes and serves as a weak spot. His armor remolds and seems to change into a different form, becoming identical to what is seen in the picture.
Minor fire manipulation, he can only produce fire from his body, currently he can ignite his body in fire, throw fire balls that have half the power of a grenade, and breathe flames. Due to the fruit's high heat tolerance his own fire cant harm him.
Abilities/Race Traits:
His keen eyes and sense of smells makes him a great navigator on the ship or traversing on land, with the use of his forked tongue he can smell various scents that are over a mile away and pin down the direction of the scent in a similar fashion to a tuning fork.
Fighting style: While not transformed he plays a semi defensive role with his shield and lance, with allies he will often protect them from attacks with his shields and sometimes perform a counter attack. He uses his shield like a hammer when attacking and he is surprisingly fast with his lance, often delivering a flurry of thrusts or swinging the weapon like a staff.
In partial transformation he becomes much more aggressive and ruthless, with a strategy of keep pushing at the target and not give them a chance to recover. He his currently looking for a weapon that can suit this form
Ship Positions: Navigator
Bounty: 0 (however when is identity is revealed to the Marines it will likely spike up.
I talked it over with my co-gm. We feel as if your partial transformation is more of a full transformation. A partial should only consist of body parts changing. (i.e : Hands, feet , head ) Also as a full transformation we are going to limit your height to 25 ft. Other than that everything seems in order. Lemme know when changes are made.
