Name: Mera
Age: 22
Gender: Female

Race: Fishman (Sandbar Shark)
Height & Weight: 6'0", 175 lbs

Personality: Mera is a bit reclusive and more than a little shy, but this is owing to the conditions she's been forced to endure in her past. She's actually a very sweet, outgoing girl once she's decided to trust the person who will see it. However, she doesn't take betrayal well, and once broken her trust is extremely difficult to earn back. Furthermore, nothing makes her angrier than imprisoning or enslaving others.
Bounty: None at present.
Origin Story:
Mera's hardly a stranger to fighting for survival in the world.

She and her mermaid sister Calma were born in the waters near Sabaody Archipelago to a fishman father and a mermaid mother. The Archpelago was still more than moderately risky for their people, but for their family it was home. Her father and mother wanted their daughters to be raised living alongside humans, regardless of the risk to themselves. And for all of their adolescence, things went swimmingly (heh). A few close calls here and there, and more than a little bigotry, but they had each other and they made it through.

That changed a few months after they both turned 18. Mera and Calma had gone into the Archipelago, in their usual guises and precautions, to do a little shopping. What they didn't realize, however, was that a notorious Slaver had managed to see through them and was following them to the little cove they called home. A few days later the Slaver returned- with an entourage of armed men behind him. Their parents immediately took action, putting up as much fight as they could while urging their daughters to run. They ran for the water, but not before seeing their father gunned down and their mother clapped in chains. The pursuit then turned on them, even as they both dove down to the deep. Calma was far faster, owing to her mermaid abilities, but this only resulted in her running into the nets that had been prepared ahead of them first. With little regard for her own safety Mera tried to save her sister, but as she tried to break the nets Calma called up a current to sweep her away and out to sea.

By the time Mera recovered she was far away from the cove, and much as she wanted to go back and fight... in her heart she knew it was hopeless. So she started swimming, far away from the Archipelago, as fast as she could. Over four years she wandered the ocean, eventually making her way to South Blue. All the while she made every attempt to grow stronger, in the hopes that she would one day return to Sabaody, find her family, and liberate them. It didn't take long for her to realize she would need allies to get there, however, and somewhere along the way she had a run-in with one Captain Sunny, who also happened to be looking for comrades to enter and best the Grand Line. After they bailed each other out of a jam, a partnership was struck. And the rest is history...

Abilities:
-Fishman Physiology: Being a fishman grants Mera all the benefits of her species, such as increased strength, high speed swimming, and the ability to breathe and speak underwater as well as communicating with other aquatic creatures.

-Fishman Karate, Swordfish Style: A variant of the Fishman Karate martial art taught on Fishman Island, Mera incorporates a sword into her technique because she found it imropoved her focus for manipulating water in her vicinity, as well as giving her an extra edge in a very literal sense should she find herself engaged on dry land.

-Voice of the Waves: Having spent most of her life traveling by water, Mera has a very keen sense for reading the waves and currents of the ocean both at the surface and in the depths. Long term navigation is not a skill of hers, but if she's shown a patch of sea in front of her and asked to find the best way across it such is right in her wheelhouse.

Inventory:
Tachi [T2]: Thirthy inches in length with its pommel decorated with a seashell
Her day-to-day clothes (usually some sort of wrap that covers what it needs to without impeding movement)

Name: "Aqua"
Age: 21
Gender: Female

Race: Human
Height & Weight: 5'10", 142 lbs.

Personality: The best way to describe Aqua would be "No fun". Serious to a fault, there's always a tinge of irritation on her face at the events surrounding her, letting snide and venomous remarks out to that which is bothering her at the moment. Nevertheless, she is not above ocassional bouts of dramatism outside of her maid persona: speaking in theatrical tones whilst posing in order to make herself sound more sinister or mysterious on purpose.
Despite everything, Aqua is rather good in her position, a fact she takes a lot of pride in. She also relishes in this image of a mysterious maid she has built for herself quite a bit, which makes it easy her up by complimenting her enough, leading to her dramatic tendencies taking the reins of her actions and words.

Bounty: B3.250.000 (Murder of a Nobleman)
Origin Story: Aqua deliberately keeps her past in a veil of either too much or too little information to properly garner anything from it. The truth behind it all is that she was born a servant of a noble family. From child, she was groomed to be a maid, and she eagerly took the role as she knew nothing better at the time. However, when she was 18, an incident happened at the mansion. The master had died, his throat slit during his sleep and the bloody weapon on her hands. Other servants chimed in that they saw her speaking with a man of a shady reputation in a back room a couple of days ago. The man was seen later that day, helping her escape the rage of the family that housed her and providing her with the money that they had agreed on for the hit: half a million bellies and a chance at a new life.
Now, some years after that, she is now left with only a small fraction of the money she previously had earned and a minimal image of herself built brick by brick through her employment in several minor hit jobs. However, such a reputation has brought a price to her head and she began to feel the weights limiting her newfound wings from spreading. However, one fateful day a man approached Aqua and began to flirt with her. What started as a mere nuisance soon shifted into an offer: to accompany him in his journey to get the One Piece. And on his eyes, on that hand outstretched to her, she saw a glimpse of that man that once gave her the path to freedom. So Aqua accepted the offer to become part of Sunny's crew and taking him as her captain.

It may have been a bad choice.

Abilities:

• Housekeeping: Be it cleaning, cooking or even gardening, Aqua is capable of doing it without problems, and most of the times even better than anyone else, thanks to her experience as a child.
• Stealth: From the couple of hit contracts she took, she has a grasp of how to be discreet and move silently. However, this is merely good enough to get past crowds. A perceptive enough eye would be able to spot her without much issue.
• Kusarigama Proficiency: Recently she's picked up to use a chain sickle (Kusarigama) because of several reasons: it's easy to carry, it can help her disarm oponents without putting herself at risk and it's certainly cool and distinctive. She still has ways to go, but she can put up a fight using her weapon of choice.
• Acrobatics: Aqua's experience taking hits required her to develop the ability to move swiftly in order to not get caught. As such, she's capable of performing pirouettes to get to hard-to-reach places with ease, close or add distance between her and someone else, dodge strikes and traverse through obstacules without much issue

Inventory:
Kusarigama [T2]: A small, double-edged iron sickle that is connected to a weight through a strong chain, about eight feet long.
She also has several changes of the same maid outfit, which is slightly padded to defend her torso and arms from blunt strikes like punches and kicks.
Finally, she has a minimal amount of cash from her personal savings.

Others: Voice reference

Name: Violet Screed
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Height & Weight: 5'11 160lb

Personality:
Boastfulness, pride, and a hint of madness. She'll use any excuse to fire off a firearm, and has an almost unhealthy love for them. She has solid confidence in her abilities and an eagerness to use them, a very dangerous combination. She has no qualms about using thievery or tricks to get her way, but has a soft spot for the more common folk and usually avoids going after them. She also adores showing off gun tricks.
She values companions, for they are spectators to her glorious firearms and things are generally more fun if one has a crew backing them up. She does not have too much care for money and is happy to spend it away for her companions.

Despite being a semi-crazy gunwoman, she does not shoot to kill. Taking people's lives goes against her code. She will never intentionally take a shot that would be fatal to someone. She will bluff about it though.

Bounty: 15 million for her, 10 million for her gun. Wanted for injuring navy soldiers, robbing and then detonating a navy ship, theft of a priceless prototype and a devil fruit, setting a town on fire, and general highway robbery.

Origin Story:
Violet is a gun maniac a bit on the extreme side. Her parents were experts in firearms, and she'd always sneak off to do shooting practice and do all sorts of dangerous tricks with them. Growing up and splitting off from her parents, her boastfulness and skill landed her in with the wrong crowd, minor bandits who robbed and stole off travelers to get by.

One day, she caught wind of a truly extravagant and well guarded ship visiting with her holy grail aboard, a prototype experimental gun made for navy and world government elites. While the rest of her crew recognized the target as far too big, she still went after it alone. After an insane plan gone awry she made off with to the precious cargo of the ship, both the gun and a devil fruit. Cornered, she ate it, and with her newfound abilities went a bit wild. It turns out firing wildly in a storage room with gunpowder in it was not the best plan, but it worked gloriously leaving her an escape route at the cost of a few burns and singed hair.

Blitzing in to the town, further chaos would ensue as she accidentally set fire to the town escaping from the officer. Eventually she met up with Sunny and with the navy after her decided joining up with pirates was her best bet of not ending up in jail. Plus she'd probably get to use her guns a lot. She's mostly hoping to replace the void left behind by leaving her gang, particularly with people less afraid of bigger targets.

Abilities:
Crack shot – Has almost sniper like accuracy with a pistol given enough time to aim.
Quick Draw Prodigy – Can take out a weapon and shoot it with almost unnatural speed and without losing accuracy.
Ballistics Savant – Has a natural affinity for things that shoot bullets or similar projectiles (like cannons)

Image Fruit (Pasha Pasha no Mi)
Violet is able to create an object that she is in physical contact with and within her field of vision. Every time the ability is use, the sound of a camera shutter is heard. The image produced will appear as a slightly fuzzy version of the original that floats in place. and continues to exist until it's disturbed by anything else that makes physical contact with it.
Violet has learned to INSTRUCT the images she creates with simple commands. She primarily uses this of course with her weapon of choice: guns. She also uses this power to reload her guns. Theoretically the power would work on other things but why would she need to use it on anything besides guns?

Inventory:
2x Flintlock Pistols [T1]
1x Flintlock Revolver [T1]: A larger pistol made to fire larger ammunition, leading to extreme kickback but more power.
1x Prototype Revolver (Violet calls it Radiance)[T4]
An extremely exotic gold-plated revolver with intricate designs in the metal. It's a stolen priceless prototype capable of shooting exotic experimental bullets (of which Violet has none). It shoots regular bullets with amazing precision though, on top of looking amazing.

Name: Human Hive Kago
Age: 35
Gender: Male

Race: Human
Height & Weight: 7 Feet & 275 Pounds

Personality: Kago isn't a fan of the World Government due to them giving his home country to Wapol and generally tends to think all marines are assholes unless proven otherwise. He also easily sympathizes with anyone he believes oppressed, despite his usual stoic act. Most of the time he can keep the act going but when he breaks it, it's hard to miss. His habit of immediately going back to stoic and acting like nothing happened isn't nearly as convincing as he likes to think.
Bounty: B1080000
Origin Story: Kago grew up in the Black Drum Kingdom where Wapol was as lousy a king as ever. While not technically slaves the citizens all worked for him, whether it was in one of his factories or not, and for minimum wage unless they sufficiently sucked up to the king. Sick of that life Kago one day stole a rowboat and an oar and left the island.Not knowing that Wapol would be angry enough to demand a bounty placed on his head, not that he would have cared otherwise.

Hours later he came across an abandoned ship that had been attacked by pirates a while back and despite not expecting to find anything he checked it out. By pure luck he found the Bachi Bachi no Mi in a hidden compartment in the captain's quarters. Not knowing what kind of fruit it was but starving he ate it despite it tasting terrible.

A couple of days after that happened he came across Sunny and since going after the One Piece would be a good way to either become strong enough to rid his homecountry of Wapol or simply become rich enough to buy the Black Drum Kingdom he saw no reason not to join the former monk's crew.

Abilities: Kago has eaten the Bachi Bachi no mi which allows him to house hornets inside of his body that he can control individually. He also wields a metal oar that can transform into a total of three forms, the regular form which has the longest reach, a metal bat for more damage and a small buckler to block attacks.

He is also somewhat stronger than the average human, due tho his size and the fact thatb he had work hard to make a living.

Inventory: An oar made from Wapometal, that can change into a metal baseball bat or a buckler.

Name: Adelinde Dey; prefers to be called Ade; Has received a moniker of The Blaring Silence
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Race: Human
Height & Weight: 5'7" & 109 Pounds

Personality: A timid but very passionate person. Ade is strong-willed when it comes to certain things. She is stubborn, and it seems as if no one can get her to change her mind without her fighting back. Ade is also a very caring individual that desires to help as many people as possible. She is not a very good liar, but her secrets are not easy to crack open. One thing that will cause her to break away from her timidness is if someone threatens or insults someone she is close to or cares about. Especially her younger sister.

Bounty: B 3,500,000
She fought off the Marines as they were trying to capture her, her friend, and the pirates doing quite a bit of damage. The main basis of her bounty is how much of a threat she is with her DF power.

Origin Story: Adelinde was born to a large but seemingly normal family on a windy fall night. She had a loving father and mother, two much older brothers, and an older sister, Eliza. Years later it would seem like the spirit of the wind had seeped into who the young girl was. At a young age, Adelinde continuously got into trouble as her desire for adventure and to explore the world kept driving her to go farther and farther away from home. She would often get in trouble because of this. One day her older sister left to see the world, the young spirit begged Eliza to bring many stories home to tell.

While waiting for her sister to come back home, a new member joined the clan by the name of Elysia that Ade instantly grew attached to. A little sister of her own for her to tell stories to and be friends with, and when Eliza got home they'd all have so much fun together. Unfortunately, after Elysia's birth, one bad thing after another happened. Their mother died two months later due to never really recovering from the birth. The oldest daughter never came home and the paper reported the worst. That she was dead. Then their father died in a hunting accident. The next few years were rough for the remainders of the family. Then the pirates came.

A group of strong pirates showed up on the small island and instantly began terrorizing the locals. Some tried to fight back but were either easily killed or captured. Adelinde was one of the later. Because of the fact that Adelinde refused to give up the fight, the captain had her brothers hurt but the sadistic monster wasn't done. He took two Devil Fruit's which he had collected and force-fed one to Adelinde and the other to someone else.

He then used his own power to create a makeshift battlefield and commanded them to kill the other. As a way to threaten them into compliance, he had his men aim their weapons at the populace. But this act caused the two to panic more than anything else and they each accidentally unleashed their newly acquired powers at unnecessary levels. All the sound within the area seemed to vanish and Adelinde appeared to be screaming but no noise came. That's when the pirate captain's ears began bleeding and he fell over. The other fighter took this opportunity to attack the remaining pirates just as the Marines arrived. However, the Marines mistook the two as pirates and attacked them along with the actual pirates. All parties scattered but as they were running away Ade saw the other fighter shot down but she kept running.

She successfully got away but soon after had a bounty set on her head. Fearing that her presence in her hometown would constantly bring danger she decided the safest thing to do would be to leave. She left behind a note as she couldn't bring herself to say goodbye in person. Not long afterward she came across Sunny and his crew. At first, she didn't trust them as they are pirates but through some random misadventure she grew to trust them and joined the crew.

Abilities:

• Onsei Onsei Fruit - The fruit which Adelinde ate was the Onsei Onsei Fruit which turned her into a sound wave person. Because of this, she is more susceptible to blunt attacks which cause her body to vibrate rapidly depending on the force. But a semi-counteractive effect is that anything that would merely glance her is seemingly deflected due to the constant vibrations of her body. It will still cause her to lose a little control on the slight contact but makes it where direct attacks are more or less necessary to actually damage her. As of now, she doesn't have any real control over her abilities other than she can reduce or increase the noise that she produces as well as altering the way some things sound. She has not been able to replicate what she did when she originally ate the fruit.
• Cooking - After her mother died Adelinde became the person that did most of the cooking for her family. At first, she wasn't the best but it didn't take long for her to become quite a talented chef.
• Athletic - As the wild child she was, Adelinde constantly was running around, climbing random things, and other various childish adventuring. She is far from a physically fit specimen but she is definitely more fit than your average person.

Inventory: She mostly has bland inconspicuous dresses. Her signature clothing item of choice is her eye-catching red cloak which was a gift from Eliza before she had left for her adventure.

Others: Main reasoning as to why I didn't put much under the DF is because of how powerful it could potentially get and because it wasn't that long ago that she received the power and is still trying to get used to the changes it made to her biology.

Name: Leo Peyton, Leo "Ship Wrecker" Peyton
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Race: Human
Height & Weight: 6’3” 210lbs

Personality: Leo is a pirate born and raised and his personality reflects this. Most of the time he is more than happy to walk around with a broad grin on his face and food or drink in hand. He loves every aspect of the pirate lifestyle, the freedom, the booze, shore leave, women, and fighting. Especially fighting. The start of a battle, whether a drunken brawl or intense naval combat with other pirates/marines, causes his grin to grow even larger. He knows all too well that any fight could be his last, but he isn’t willing or able to let that deter him from having a good time. Life is too short to not enjoy it and a pirate’s life is even shorter.

This mentality leads him into doing things he enjoys in excessive amounts. This lead to some trouble when he was younger as he would be far too drunk to fight with any semblance of skill. With age this has tempered due to a high tolerance to alcohol.

Bounty: B20,000,000
Leo had already started building a bounty during his time spent with his previous crew but it didn’t grow to its current size until the past year. His crew had gotten into a battle with a small fleet of Marine ships and during the battle he managed to sink two of the vessels with his chains by punching holes into their hulls.

Origin Story:
Leo’s entire existence has been surrounded by the pirate lifestyle as every member of his family, that he knows of, have been pirates for years. His father was the captain of his own ship, which is where Leo spent a majority of his childhood along with his three older brothers. It was tradition for his family to serve under a relative, typically a father, until they were ready to go out on their own. This was the case for his brothers, his brother Cedric however requested that Leo come with him rather than formally join their father’s crew.

While confused about this Leo didn’t raise any fuss over the choice as he and Cedric were closer than he was with his other brothers. So for the next few years he sailed with the Sawblade Pirates, named as such due to Cedric’s epithet of “The Sawblade” since he fought with a serrated sword. They primarily relied on hit and run tactics when engaging in naval combat, disabling their opponents ships before boarding them. While none of the Sawblade Pirates were against killing they tried to avoid it whenever possible. Up until a couple of months ago they had been successful in avoiding the few Marine ships they occasionally ran into.

This all changed when they ended up being ambushed by a group of Marines consisting of six ships. With the help of Leo managing to sink two of the ships with his chains and favorable winds they managed to stay ahead of the remaining Marines for a while. Luck did not stay with them however as the winds began to shift. Knowing they would be overrun sooner rather than later Cedric ordered Leo to escape via a small raft. Despite his protests Cedric wouldn’t budge and Leo knew better than to disobey an order from his Captain. So he escaped, and watched in the distance as his brother’s ship was boarded.

That was the last time he saw his brother and as far as Leo knows Cedric did not survive the encounter. About a month ago he ran into Sunny, who he had actually met previously while sailing with the Sawblade Pirates. It was brief, but upon hearing that he was forming a crew Leo leapt at the chance. He rather have one familiar face that be surrounded by strangers.

Abilities:

• Jara Jara No Mi:
  Haven eaten the Jara Jara no Mi fruit, Leo is capable of producing chains from his body that are his main method of attacking. At present he can only control a few at a time and he is only able to change the ends into heavy weights to increase the blunt force of his strikes. He also is not yet able to change the material of the chain. Normally he wraps his fists in the chains to increase his striking power, but when needed he uses them like whips.
• Enhanced Strength:
  Leo possesses strength greater than the average human which allows him to swing his chains with more force and add additional power behind his strikes.
• Enhanced Endurance:
  Along with being stronger than the average guy, Leo is also able to sustain more damage before dropping. This served him very well in his younger years when he got in more than his fair share of brawls and it continues to benefit him as a pirate.
• Muay Thai Proficiency:
  Since a young age Leo has been trained in the art of Muay Thai, though he is far from mastering it. With the ability to create chains from his body he is now able to help prevent some of the injuries this style leads to, protecting his hands and shins while increase his damage. He cannot cover his knees or elbows however as it would restrict the movement needed.

Inventory:
The clothes on his back along with a few spares.
The chains he wears around his waist and neck. While these were created with his ability they are not used for combat, just accessories.
