Name: Beets Lemmon
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Rank: Apprentice

Appearance:


Personality:Beets is an avid reader of fantasy materials, and is probed to flights of fantasy, and many times has trouble seeing the world in moral gray areas.

Beets idolizes heroes. To her the highest peak a human can reach is that of creating hope for future generations. She constantly compares herself to the men and women of her stories whom she wants nothing more than to emulate and often finds herself facing despair, though she'd never admit it, if she feels she's not reaching the marks of those great individuals. The desire to be a hero has also created in her a need for the spotlight, and she will go through great lengths to make sure she's the center of attention. Despite all the bravado, Beet's is highly insecure and fearful of the world. Many times she'd like nothing more than to give up and head home to live out her life comfortably on her family's farm. It's only a mixture of pride and a sense of duty which keeps her going.

She's also an unabashed pervert, and has little to no real world experience.

Background:
Beets had a good life, one of the best. Her parents weren't exactly wealthy but they were better off than the majority of people on her island home thanks to the various properties they owned, as well as a large farm that grew mangos. Beets parents were friendly, loving individuals, who though always well meaning, sheltered their daughter far too much for anyone's own good. Though, despite their best efforts, they couldn't keep every trouble away from her.

It all started with a poor man who couldn't make his rent, showing up to the family estate with old books he hoped to trade for more time. These books were filled with tales of heroes, villains, and monsters. Not wanting to be mean Beet's parents accepted the trade and moved the books into the attic which Beets quickly discovered and absorbed. Little by little she became obsessed with heroes. Though it was always just a happy fantasy until pirates finally did attack and showed her that not only there was evil in the world, but heroes were needed just the same.

When Beet's informed her parents of her plans they were firmly against it, but saw the resolution in the young woman's face, and let her go, but not on her own. They presented her with a devil fruit which a tenant had given them in exchange for a month's rent. They had no idea what it would do, but trusted fate and hoped desperately it would give the girl the luck they couldn't. With a smile she ate the fruit, and with a grimace she kept from throwing it up before telling her parents farewell and heading off to the ship which would take her to where she needed to go..

Skills:
Denka-Denka no mi(charge-charge Fruit):This fruit grants the user the ability to "Charge" an area. Which causes charged areas to change color, with the symbol of the charge at the point of the charge's creation. Currently Beets can only do this through coating a part of her body with a charge, direct contact with an object or by a charged object coming into contact with a neutral object. The size of an area can be increased during direct contact. A charge's strength can be altered by will at any point. Currently Beets is unable of changing a marked area's charge at will, but she can hold the charge passively.
There are three types of Charges:

Circus Style:Beet's own personal martial inspired by various skills observed in circus performers.
Techniques:

Positive(+)-Repels positive charges Attracts negatives. Kinetic energy moves into the positive charge
Negative(-)-Repels negative charges. Attracts positives. Kinetic energy moves out of the negative charge.
Neutral(0)- Zero charge. The effected area does not react with any form of charge. Kinetic energy disperses

Stats:


Inventory: Plenty of throwing knives

Name: Kurena
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Standard Human
Rank: Apprentice (Mercenary Corps)

Appearance: Stands 5'10" and 145 lbs. Her Merc Corps bandanna is used to tie her hair up.
Personality: Kurena is a spirited young girl who loves nothing more than facing a challenge. She's very much a go-getter, and once she decides she's going to do something few, if any people can dissuade her from it. She's not the vengeful sort, nor does she believe all that strongly in the concept of Justice, but she does firmly believe that those who are strong have a duty to protect those who are not. This has caused her to idolize some of the fabled pirates from the Golden and Silver Ages to a degree, and certainly puts her at odds with the pirates of the current age.
Background: Kurena never knew her parents. She was raised on an island in the East Blue called Monastery Island, governed by warrior monks who invited any to join them in pursuit of physical fitness and learn their martial art. Having nowhere else to go, she grew and learned under the tutelage of one of the senseis, who treated her like his own daughter. When she turned 15 she was permitted to begin training to master the Monastery's secret techniques- the Kamiken art forms. It took her the better part of three years to begin to grasp the concepts and begin to understand the techniques, but eventually she began to thrive on it. She only managed to properly use two of the five basic techniques, but her sensei assured her that she knew all of them, plus many of their advanced forms; she merely needed to bring her body into sync with her soul to perform them, and that would come with time.

That time would have to come at a later date, however, because not long after Monastery Island came under attack by a vicious gang of pirates. Under normal circumstances such things were little cause for concern; the instructors typically proved more than capable of fending off any would-be attackers. But these pirates were much stronger and vicious, and it was all the monks could do to keep as many students and residents alive as they could. The monastery itself was in shambles, and her home was destroyed. While everybody else went to find a new home, however, Kurena took a small boat and set sail for a different locale; the new Marineford. Men like that had to be stopped, and if her skills could aid that, who was she to not do so?

Skills:
Kamiken: Martial art taught on Monastery Island where Karena was raised, it revolves around specific techniques inspired by the 5 elements (Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Lightning). Similar to, and said to be a rival of, Rokushiki.

Biri-Biri no Mi: A Paramecia-type that Kurena ate thinking it was an ordinary tropical fruit. It gives her the ability to generate and discharge electrical energy in and from her body, which she can use to add a shocking new force to her attacks.

Techniques:
Fire- A basic technique of the Kamiken, the user throws a punching attack with explosive force.


Air- A basic technique of the Kamiken, the user dashes at high speeds to cover distances very quickly.


Stats:

Inventory: A pair of thick leather gloves that she wears to help protect her hands.
