@Geyter
I have no problems with the fruit being nerfed and would really appreciate the help. What did you have in mind, exactly for the fruit's limitations?
@JackDLemmy I prefer this concept, but still needs reworking. Specifically range, area of effect, and conditions to use the ability. Also, each charge would be a different technique. If you don't mind the nerf, I can help you work on it.

GM
@JackDLemmy Alright. From what I get from the fruit is that it's similar to Kidd's, but instead of manipulating electromagnetism, it's more of the concept of magnetism. The idea in itself is fine for now.
The nerfs and conditions I was previously taking about would involve it's area of effect (AoE) and on how it's activated.
For it's AoE, I'll limit it to single objects. So basic hand held weapons, cannon balls, then large rocks at most. Charging up an average sized person would be difficult and take a significant amount of time. The stronger you get, the larger the objects it can affect. Eventually you'd get to charge up larger areas such as land.
The conditions I was talking about would be how you would trigger the charge. You'd require physical touch. At present, it would definitely limit what you can do, but that's the point.
A good reference point would be Shiki and his Levitation Fruit. It's very similar to what you want. However, instead of electromagnetism with pushing/pulling, it's just manipulating the things he levitates. The area he effects is incredibly massive, affecting entire islands.
Anyway, that's about it. Physical contact let's you assign a neutral charge. No technique needed. Changing it either positive or negative requires techniques.
Also, what do you mean regarding your mentions on kinetic energy?

Welp now the weekend almost rolled past, but I managed to get it done. Realized right before posting this, that I used the same colors for my Skills/Techniques as Saltwater Thief did... too lazy to change it now, will though if it'll be necessary. ^^
(Side note: It was impossible to find a character that looked the way I wanted my guy to look, but this pic conveys it best... just don't imagine a full on Gambit when picturing him xD)

Name: House
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Rank: Rookie (Mercenary Corps)
Personality:
Due to his unique upbringing House is a very social and helpful guy, since his brothers and sisters in the gambler-family depended on each other to survive. He learned a great deal about the importance of camaraderie, friendship and teamwork through them, even though his carefree and laid back demeanor might not always convey it too well. He jokes around a lot and laughs about his own jokes sometimes, which can make him seem like a bit of a douche. He believes, that he has grown out of his boastful loudmouth phase, keeping his showing off to a minimum as well as suppressing his desire to be a joker or smart-ass whenever he can. However when a certain amount of booze or gambling is involved he will slip right back into his old self. Additionally House is very competitive, trying to one up anyone he feels superior to, which, when it comes to gambling, is just about anyone.
In his free time he either practices his card-tricks, prepares his throwing cards or tries to find people to play with and pass the time. His favorite food are chicken wings, although he'll settle for almost any poultry based meat and he can hold his liquor fairly well given his casino-bar filled youth. Finally, House had quite the womanizer reputation back at home, since he could be very charming and was nice to look at. He never actually understood where that reputation came from however, since usually the women talked to him first and he was pretty oblivious to the flirting until it became very apparent.
Underneath everything House has a very soft spot for children, especially orphans, and wants to potentially open an orphanage when he retires one day.
Background:
Born with an alcoholic gambler for a father and a dead mother the young Roger Kempton was basically by himself from the get go. Before he was even 8 years old he escaped his father on one of their casino-trips, leaving the old man at the slot machine and never coming back. While on the run Roger met a group of gamblers, misfits and former orphans just like him, that took him in and raised him as one of their own. They started teaching him about the world, taught him reading and writing and about the most important thing in the world: the art of gambling. Roger soon proved to be an exceptionally fast learner, he was smart and, unfortunately, he knew that. During these early years Roger would frequently boast about his winnings, while wearing his hubris on his sleeve. This lead to more than a few troublesome situations, through which he made it unscathed more often then not.
When Roger hit his early 20s he picked it up another notch, training his sleight of hand and dice tossing as well as his card counting and throwing on the side. He had soon made a reputation for himself as “House”, the man that never loses. At first he didn't know what to think of this nickname, but he soon grew to like it a lot more than his actual name, discarding it along with his childhood memories. By now he had become somewhat of a small celebrity among the casino belt, a group of islands in the Westblue, that is mostly treated as a permanent neutral-zone for the surrounding crime syndicates. The casino's were all owned by different criminals, that were always trying to out-profit each other, house however was a problem for every casino he visited, since whenever he showed up he would cost the casino and it's clients a lot of money.
One fateful day he won the absolute jackpot, without even knowing it. It was his 28th birthday and he went into a high-end casino to celebrate. After a long and successful day he packed up his winnings in his usual manner, stuffing it into a huge Santa-like sack, excused himself with his usual catchphrase, “It was a pleasure to play with you gentlemen, but never forget, that in the end: The House always wins!” and left the casino with a big grin on his face. Taking stock of his birthday winnings in the hide out later he noticed, that one of the assumed golden ornaments wasn't golden at all. It looked more like a very heart-shaped peach with a swirl pattern. Deciding, that he was hungry anyway and unaware of the existence of devil fruits, he gulped the fruit down in 2 bites. At first he was confused by the lack of a stone on the inside, but then he realized how gross the fruit tasted, making a mental note to never eat a fruit like that again.
Another 3 years passed and House was growing weary of the hustling and cheating lifestyle he flaunted. He had been growing less and less bashful for the past years and had finally gotten to a point where he realized, that his life wasn't going anywhere. After contemplating what to do with his life and hearing about the marine-fort's new hiring guidelines, he decided to make himself and his recently acquired powers matter, setting off towards the Eastblue immediately.
Signing up for the mercenary corps as soon as he reached the fort.
Skills:
Sutsu-Sutsu no Mi: The Suite-Suite fruit, a Paramecia type fruit that gives the user the ability to empower himself by invoking the four suits. Heart for defense, club for offense, spade for speed and diamond for vision.
True Gambling: Every gambler knows, that at a certain point in any game luck doesn't matter anymore. At that point speed, skill and perception are the only thing separating the big winners from the empty handed losers. If you didn't get caught, you didn't cheat, that's the rule of the casino world. House is able to roll a dice onto the number he wants and manipulate card-decks without most people ever noticing.
Techniques:
Cardslinger: Years of experience have lead to House being able to toss cards at enormous speeds and with amazing precision, giving him the ability to throw his cards like other people throw knives.
Suit-Style: Diamond Eyes: House activates one of his four sutsu-powers to enhance his vision ability and range, effectively doubling them and turning his pupils into diamonds.
Suit-Style: Spade Surge: House activates another sutsu-power to increase his speed and reaction times, enabling him to use the Spade Spears.
Stats:
Inventory: 2 decks of cards with sharpened edges and a pair of red dice.
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Rank: Rookie (Mercenary Corps)
Appearance:
Standing tall at 1,85m and weighing in at 90kg, the picture shows House with his technique Diamond Eyes active.
House never leaves his room without his signature brown trench coat and keeps his beard somewhere between unkempt and “short but sexy”. Underneath the trench coat he wears normal everyday clothing and his mercenary rank bandanna is loosely bound around his neck. Around his waist he wears a belt with two holsters containing his two decks of special throwing cards.

Sorry I had to xD

@KrischKrisch Color-wise, I don't think it'll be a problem. At least there isn't any foreseeable ones on my part.
As for the image, not sure if you wanted someone who looked liked gambit or someone who playfully dabbles with cards. If you're interested, some alternative images: 1, 2, 3, 4
Devil Fruit is fine. Initially I was worried that it was just purely for stat boosting, but the Spade Spears made it more befitting of One Piece.
Also, since turning on Spade Surge is a prerequisite to use Spade Spears, it'll look like this.
Suit-Style: Spade Surge: House activates another sutsu-power to increase his speed and reaction times, enabling him to use the Spade Spears.
Yeah, and like I mentioned in the OP, we always round down when it comes to Willpower.
Lastly, although the fruit grants stat boosts, even if you described it as "doubling them and turning his pupils into diamonds", stat-wise, it would translate to that exactly. I'll think of a fair value for now.
Massive increases would be considered different skills and not just a technique. Examples would be Luffy's Gears or the Mink Tribe's Sulong Form.
Otherwise, everything else seems fine.

Name: Cedric
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Sturgeon Fishman
Rank: Ensign (Naval Military)
Cedric stands at 190.5cm and weighs 100kg. He doesn’t actually wear the necklace in the photo
Personality:
Between the years he spent training with his father followed by immediately falling into work as hired muscle, Cedric’s personality became that of strict discipline. This was very apparent during his first few years as an adult, though the time he was under contract with Leo softened it a bit. He can appreciate humor, however cracking a joke himself is rare, and understands that periods of rest can be beneficial.
Background:
Cedric’s early life was relatively uneventful. From a young age his father began training him the martial art style known as Fish-Man Karate. This training consumed his life for several years. He and his father would start before the sun fully rose over the horizon and wouldn’t finish until it had already set. Free time was a luxury only given once a week. Rather than use this time to relax Cedric instead took to the sea on these days, spending hours exploring the ocean surrounding their home.
His training with his father ended when he turned 18, not because he had mastered the fighting style but because his father believed that the only way for Cedric to continue to improve would be to go out on his own and get practical experience with it. They did not simply kick him out, instead they asked one of their close friends to provide Cedric with transportation to a larger town. Upon his arrival he began taking on any jobs he could find, most of which involved acting as protection for merchants due to the highly dangerous nature of the oceans.
He spent four years working as hired muscle for various ships, which typically were just for one time gigs. However by the time he was 22 he had started making a name for himself as reliable protection and was approached for an unusual job, at least for him. The first oddity was the fact that the man requesting him was a human merchant, up until this point he had been working exclusively for other Fish-Men. His potential employer though didn’t seem to care what his race was, just that he was efficient. The second unique aspect was that he was being asked on for a long term contract. He would act as a bodyguard for Leo and his supplies for a period of one year and at the end could decide if he wanted to renew the deal.
In total Cedric spent a little under four years sailing with Leo, in which time the two had become friends. For a while he actually had been harboring the idea of simply staying indefinitely. It gave him plenty of opportunities to gain more experience in using his fighting style in live combat and the pay was much more than he had been earning before. This all changed when he caught wind of the fact that the Marines were recruiting, anyone and everyone that they could. He simply could not pass up the chance as he knew that it would serve as the perfect means of testing how far he had come. Leo even allowed him out of his contract early, though to be fair Cedric paid him a substantial fee for the inconvenience. He then made his way to Marineford to sign up.
Skills:
Fish-Man Karate- A martial art that is practiced by certain skilled members of the Fish-Man race. While deadly enough on land, Fish-Man Karate has a number of devastating underwater moves designed to be suitable with the Fish-Man strength and speed along with the mobility that goes while under water and, in some cases, a fish-man's personal adaptation (fins, teeth, etc.).
Shipwright- While sailing with Leo it was suggested to Cedric that he apprentice under the shipwright during his downtime. He was completely onboard with this idea as it gave him something to do rather than waste time. With his disciplined attitude he took quickly to the craft. With nearly four years spent helping fix the ship he has become adept at the art.
Techniques:
Hundred Brick Fist- A hard punch that can send an opponent flying. It is said that it is strong enough that it can break through 100 bricks.
Forearm Sledge- Cedric twists and slams his forearm into the back of his opponents neck.
Backfoot Jawbreaker- Done underwater, an inner-sole kick to the opponent's chin.
Shipwrecking Punch- Due to his experience as a shipwright Cedric is capable of identifying potential weak points in a ship. After this process he proceeds to attack one of the weak points, aiming to either aid in sinking the ship or disabling it.
Stats:
Inventory: As of the moment, nothing.

This all changed when he caught wind of the fact that the Marines were recruiting, anyone and everyone that they could. He simply could not pass up the chance as he knew that it would serve as the perfect means of testing how far he had come. Leo even allowed him out of his contract early, though to be fair Cedric paid him a substantial fee for the inconvenience. He then made his way to Marineford to sign up.
Skills:
Fish-Man Karate- A martial art that is practiced by certain skilled members of the Fish-Man race. While deadly enough on land, Fish-Man Karate has a number of devastating underwater moves designed to be suitable with the Fish-Man strength and speed along with the mobility that goes while under water and, in some cases, a fish-man's personal adaptation (fins, teeth, etc.).
Shipwright- While sailing with Leo it was suggested to Cedric that he apprentice under the shipwright during his downtime. He was completely onboard with this idea as it gave him something to do rather than waste time. With his disciplined attitude he took quickly to the craft. With nearly four years spent helping fix the ship he has become adept at the art.
Techniques:
Hundred Brick Fist- A hard punch that can send an opponent flying. It is said that it is strong enough that it can break through 100 bricks.
Forearm Sledge- Cedric twists and slams his forearm into the back of his opponents neck.
Backfoot Jawbreaker- Done underwater, an inner-sole kick to the opponent's chin.
Shipwrecking Punch- Due to his experience as a shipwright Cedric is capable of identifying potential weak points in a ship. After this process he proceeds to attack one of the weak points, aiming to either aid in sinking the ship or disabling it.

@GreenGoat@Rai@SubjectVision@Saltwater Thief@Solotros@KrischKrisch Will be rechecking the sheets, and will be giving PERKS. These are gonna be bonus abilities that are based on your character's background and whatnot. Think of it as rewards for good sheets.
EDIT: This covers things usually not included in the stat tier list.

@Solotros Double post, but whatevs. Didn't mention, but your guy is accepted. I mean after this edit. Gotta ask you replace one of the karate techniques with a shipwright one.
If you want it to supplement fighting, just go with something that improves ship punching/dismantling. Or if you wanna some quick DIY repairing, that's a thing too.

@Geyter Gotcha! Will do. Give me a second.
GM
@Solotros Need some edits, but that's partly my fault. I'll discuss techniques in more detail later. Forgot to mention it, but it's in the sample sheet on how to stack techniques.
@Geyter Would you like me to temporarily remove my sheet from the CS tab? My fault for jumping the gun.
GM
@Solotros No, it's alright. It's more technical than game changing. Feel free to post in the IC. For now, Cedric doesn't have a room mate.
GM
Here ya go, guys. Some minor revisions; nothing really major, but best to read it to make sure all bases are covered.
I'll edit the sheets (fixing coding errors or casing inconsistencies) and will include your character's perk(s). Please use these sheets for your character tab posts.
Will be giving 1-2 perks to each character btw.
@GreenGoat Just changed the color to SCIENCE and the techniques since all of them were under the Helios Engine. Perks are based on Science-y background and the Helios Engine.
Name: Elizabeth Almeria Nu Delrouge Blementacia
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Race: Human (Cyborg)
Rank: Ensign
Appearance: She stands at about 152cm tall, weighting in at 45kg.
Personality: A bright cheerful looking lass that nonetheless was slightly unnerving due to how hopping mad she was. While utterly obsessed with making machines, she can and will try to experiment on other living things if she has the chance, usually with their consent. Though consent in her mind seemed to be broader than what most would normally think of, including being asleep, being unconscious or even just taking her hand.
Background: An odd girl who claimed to be from nobility from far far away, Elizabeth did not join the Marines so much as she forced her way in.
As she claimed, she was from a far away noble family, raised with love, with everything she could ever wanted. But she wanted to explore the world, so after smashing up her father's study and 'accidentally' destroying half a town with a prototype robot she was trying to make, she was told to go explore the world.
Without any money.
Or any transport.
And thus she was there to join the Marines, to offer them her expertise in SCIENCE as well as her other abilities, though her own physical abilities weren't anything to write home about. It didn't hurt that she'd be getting food and money too, which certainly wasn't her main goal, because she definitely had everything she needed on her journey around the world.
Skills:
Helios Engine
An odd ability that allows her to absorbs energy from any sort of attack or damage on her, as well as drawing out slightly more energy from the source of the attack for every hit. It also allows her to use the engine to make jets of flames from any part of her body. With her own energy, she can probably make a small candle flame.
And thats it. The skill doesn't nullify anything, but simply absorbs energy from attacks as well as a little bit more from the attacker. While it can absorb as much as she can take before her body breaks, it also doesn't keep energy for long, automatically going empty in 30 minutes if it doesn't receive any more energy in that time period. It seemed oddly fitting her skill was an engine that started by kicking it.
SCIENCE
Or rather, some odd mishmash of pseudo-scientific quantum theory and gibberish that somehow works. Like spaghetti code that still works but no one can figure out what the heck is going on. Tends to malfunction, do extra unwanted things, but she often considers them as bonus features instead. Never let her operate on someone.
Techniques:
Helios Engine - Start
Starts up the engine, allowing her to use the energy stored to strengthen her abilities.
>Helios Engine - Ignition
Fires off a jet of flames.
>Helios Engine - Thrust Ignition
With more advanced control, she can fire off four at once, in a more constant stream.
>Helios Engine - Jetter Boost
Fires off an explosive jet(of flames).

Perks:
Inventory: A small flotation device with a small turbine on it, shaped like a donut with a miniature engine on it.
@Rai Nothing much to edit, just fixed a few spacing concerns. Perks are based of fighting style and background as a slave.
6 feet and seven inches tall. She holds herself in high regard as she stands with heals on giving her a few more inches of height.
Name: Aelithia the Candor
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Race: Human - Horned Tribe
Rank: Mercenary Corp - Rookie
Personality: Aela enjoys relaxing and being as lazy as possible. She is very similar to a cat, or at times a bear given her mean streak. She does wild things when intoxicated and seeks thrills often enough where her skills are tested. She has a independent personality. Always thinking of a way out, mostly to save herself. She does enjoy dominating and will at times ignore others feelings making her a hard sell as a team player. She also has a tendency to be over confident.
Background: Her tribe was sought after for their rare horns one day by pirates who were trophy hunters. She was taken as a slave along with her younger brother. While working as a slave she learned of the shadow skill. A mysterious woman had told her about it. Not soon after this woman broke her and many others free from the slaves. Though she was not interested in joining the marines she suggested Aela to do so. But first she needed to be strong in this new terrible world. So she trained Aela and her brother in the shadow skill. After several years of training Aela and her brother set out on their own adventures to see their goals accomplished. Aela to the Marines and her brother joined pirates dedicated to freeing slaves from other pirates or countries.
Skills:
Shadow Skill Practitioner: A form of combat where the user uses mostly kicks with devastating power. Created by ex-slaves whose hands were bound. Aelithia is proficient in this combat style. When fully immersed in the shadow skill she does away with all of her restrictions in the face of death allowing her to push on beyond her limits when faced with dire situations.
Gunslinger: Having a decent knowledge of projectiles she knows the inner workings of pistols and rifles. She also has years of practice with aiming and firing these weapons from short and long range. She has practiced the speed of drawing the weapon for years also.
Techniques:
Shadow Skill - Blade kick: With a whip like strike her legs can cut flesh like a blade and her heels can even allow her to parry blades.
Shadow Skill - Tornado Kick: While spinning on her hands she can form a tornado around her that delivers a flurry of kicks.
Quick Draw McGraw: Aela can slip out her pistol with speed and ease. Very similar to a gunslinger.
Quick Reload: Capable of reloading with swift speed she doesn't have an issue when it comes to continuous firing other than ammo.

@SubjectVisionJust corrected a few typos and removed the fencing under techniques. Since you color coded it, there was no need. Perks are based on fencing prowess.
@Saltwater Thief I don't think I edited anything. Perks are based on high agility and background as a martial artist.
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:
Perks:
Inventory: A pair of thick leather gloves that she wears to help protect her hands.
@SolotrosJust fixed a few spacing errors. Assigned colors to your skills and techniques; you can change them to ones that you prefer. Removed Shipwrecking Punch. I thought about it and decided that you can start with your four original karate moves. Kinda messed up there. My bad.
Perks are based on Fishman physiology and shipwright background. Kinda stumped right now, so if you can think of a better shipwright perk, I'm all ears.
Also, the bonus I thought of for Fishmen, instead of starting at Strength and Durability of 5, they start at 11. So that's a total of 12 more points. Won't allow you to redistribute your stats now.
I'm done for the night.
We'll have SKILLS, TECHNIQUES, STATS and PERKS.
SKILLS refer to the things your character can do. Examples would include devil fruits, fighting styles (Black Leg Style, Santoryu, Rokushiki), professions (doctor, carpenter, cartographer, and marksman), physical features either from a strange event (cyborg body, living skeleton, transplants/implants) or from being from a different race (Mink, Fishman, Giant, Three-Eye), or a named weapon/gear (Raid Suit, Climatact, Kuro Kabuto, Napoleon). This should also include any permanent advantages/disadvantages. For example, Brook being lighter than normal but not able to swim or Franky having a steel front body only. These would provide us with a general idea on your character's field of expertise and of what there are capable of doing.
Now for TECHNIQUES. I’ll be giving out points that you can use to learn specific moves based on the skills that you have. If we take Zoro as an example, his skill would be Santoryu and a technique under this would be Oni Giri. Like your skills, techniques would also scale with your stats. The only techniques you would spend points on are combat-based ones. The only exception to this is when I require you to. Using Chopper as an example, his skill would be Medicine. To administer first aid and have knowledge on human anatomy wouldn’t require points. Just take your stats into consideration, look at your character and what tier they're at, and ask yourself “Would this be viable?” I’ll hoping that I can trust your judgment, so don’t abuse it. If its creating some super-powered medicine, like the Rumble Balls, then that would definitely require a point; maybe several points but we’ll talk about that when we get there.
STATS are pretty simple, so I’ll just list them down along with a brief description of each and a tier list. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
PERKS are the bonuses every character gets when they become proficient at something or have the background to support it, and are based on their abilities in general. Aside from being bonuses, think of them as rewards for achieving certain milestones in the story, be it an epic victory or stacking up a lot of stat points.

An important thing to note about techniques is that they can STACK. Stacking is basically how you make techniques stronger or more versatile by investing more techniques on top of them.
Using Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi, Gear Second, and Armament Haki as skills the techniques will be based on.
Gomu Gomu no Stamp as an example, would be the base technique. By adding a point to it, it becomes Gomu Gomu no Stamp Gattling, making it a multistrike technique. Both techniques fall under the same skill, so they remain the same color. Next we'll be adding another point to it, but will be under a new skill, which would be Luffy's Gear Second. The technique would then turn into Gomu Gomu no Jet Stamp Gattling, gaining whatever modifier we assign to Gear Second, be it a boost in strength, speed, or both. We could also stack Gear Second to the base technique, creating Gomu Gomu no Jet Stamp. Then by stacking another point, this time from Armament Haki, it becomes Gomu Gomu no Hawk Stamp,
Example:
Basically, stacking makes it easier to understand the technique better. Even if you don't stack on a technique, something simple as a Gomu Gomu no Pistol would get stronger over time as stat points are increased.

STATS are pretty simple, so I’ll just list them down along with a brief description of each and a tier list. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
- Strength (STR) is how much force your body can exert. A measure of your character’s physical force. Basically how much they can lift, carry, how much their blows hurt, etc.
- Agility (AGI) is a measure of a character’s running speed and reflexes. It determines how easily one can dodge and how fast they can cover a distance. Heavily investing on agility alone does not transfer to incredible speed in combat. Performing intricate movements at high speeds becomes increasingly difficult the faster you move. A good example would be Kuro and his movement ability as he was unable to discern friend from foe. A refined version of this would be Rokushiki's Soru; to pull this off, a significant level of Perception is required as well.
- Perception (PER) dictates your character’s observational ability and accuracy. This determines how much detail they can make out and how good they are at managing to land a blow, whether that be their quirk, a weapon, or even a simple punch.
- Durability (DUR) dictates how tough and resistant to damage your character is. This determines how much punishment a character can take and how much pain they can willingly ignore.
- Willpower (WIL) refers to focus, concentration, defense against mental attacks, and how long you can last despite exhaustion. However, unlike the other four stats, Will cannot have points put directly into it. Instead it is a number equal to the average of your other four stats. This means your Will shall naturally increase as your other stats do. Also, always round down.
Will only be releasing information on Tier 1 to Tier 6. Once we start bypassing Tier 6, I'll include the values and corresponding descriptions for Tier 7 to Tier 10.
- Strength: The strength level you would expect from an average teenager. Maybe 20 push ups is their limit.
- Agility: Average agility of a teenager. They can run a mile in under 5 minutes and can dodge most large projectiles fairly well.
- Perception: Pretty average senses for a young person, being able to make out any color in an area and most writing on a wall.
- Durability: About average for a teenager. They can take a decent beating before they need medical attention.
- Strength: Someone who regularly engages in physical fitness. They can lift slightly above their own body weight.
- Agility: Someone who regularly exercises and likely does some form of martial arts to know evasive maneuvers In a race, they definitely wouldn’t be near the bottom of the pack.
- Perception: Someone who has perfect 20/20 vision or maybe even a little better. With effort they could pick someone out from a crowd by their face. They can probably see just a little further than average as well.
- Durability: Someone who’s pretty good at tolerating pain, likely from experience. They’ve probably been in a couple fights during their lifetime.
- Strength: Someone who can lift all but the heaviest of objects. They could enter a deadlift contest and place fairly well.
- Agility: Someone who could be considered an Olympic level runner. They have World Class reflexes, likely being one of those people who could speed run an obstacle course.
- Perception: At this rank, you’re considered a marksman. You could enter most shooting contests and place fairly well, and it would be incredibly hard for you to lose sight of a target.
- Durability: As durable as one would expect from a trained martial artist. This is someone who can definitely tolerate pain without wincing and can withstand a lot of it.
- Strength: Someone's who’s as strong as a normal human can naturally be. They can probably pull a car with enough effort.
- Agility: As fast and as evasive as possible for normal humans. This is someone who could sprint 100 meters in around ten seconds. They can with practice probably pull off any parkour trick you can think of.
- Perception: You have the most developed senses that a human can have. Your accuracy is like that of a military marksman, able to hit a moving target from a about fifty meters out. You can also easily discern several details with just a single sense.
- Durability: As durable as a normal human could be, probably able to handle being in a car crash and still get up the next morning if nothing’s broken. Pain will subside as long as it’s nothing too serious, but don’t let your resilience allow you to cause permanent harm to your body.
- Strength: Strength at this point begins entering the point of Superhuman. Breaking bones feels like snapping a tree branch.
- Agility: At this speed, you can keep up with most cars on a freeway. Your reaction speed is slightly higher than a human would be normally.
- Perception: Your perceptive abilities are a cut above normal humans. You can notice a slightly wider variety of colors, slightly harder to hear sounds, and pick up on very faint movements.
- Durability: Physically, your durability is a cut above the average human. At most your body seems to handle damage the same as anyone else, but your body will take less damage from things like average strength punches.
- Strength: Strong enough to lift a small elephant, you can smash through stone as if it were styrofoam.
- Agility: Arrows can be dodged, even from extremely close range. You can manage to keep pace with the fastest of land animals.
- Perception: Objects that are coming towards you may feel as if they’re moving slightly slower than they normally are. Your senses are slightly more akin to an animal’s, being able to track something by smell alone.
- Durability: Blunt blows that would be fatal to normal humans could probably withstood with only a marginal degree of pain.
PERKS are the bonuses every character gets when they become proficient at something or have the background to support it, and are based on their abilities in general. Aside from being bonuses, think of them as rewards for achieving certain milestones in the story, be it an epic victory or stacking up a lot of stat points.

Personality: Quiet and prideful, Aria often keeps to herself as she prefers to listen to others before giving her input, often aiming to make her word the last, definite conclusion of a conversation. She's also got a very strong yet old fashioned sense of justice, following the old school of "Absolute Justice" that reigned the previous Marine echelons as the core of her beliefs and basis of her actions. She's not without mercy, however, and believes that people can redeem themselves, one of the reasons she tolerates the Mercenary Corps.
More often than not, Aria opts to look at the larger picture over the situation that's at hand, and she favors longer term solutions towards conflicts, which can lead to her being ruthless and cruel at times for the sake of her plans. However, she has a weak spot towards those that are subjugated by much stronger people and will go out of her way to try and right the situation.
Background: Aria's birthplace was an archipelago in the North Blue that was officially ruled by a council of the rulers of the major settlements of these islands and unofficially by a veteran marine-turned-pirate lord, Vincent de Graaf, whose fleet served both as a threat and protection to the settlements. The Council had struck a deal with this man in order to ensure that he wouldn't assault the trading routes of these islands: They'll give him a share of all profits made by commerce between the islands and his ships would patrol the waters to "ensure nothing bad happened". His presence was enough to deter other pirates from endangering the commerce of the archipelago, but this had effectively turned de Graaf and his crew into the greatest noble family of the whole archipelago as their safety depended on him. And he knew that.
One fateful day, captain de Graaf decided to cement his status as the de-facto ruler within these islands and sailed with a ship loaded with his best sea dogs in order to barge into the house of all the members of the Council and make a demand to the local ruling family. A single demand that, if it were not met, would mean that the entire town would be razed to the ground. And as such, he got what he wanted and, as such, Aria was conceived.
The news were scandalous yet everyone kept their heads low as the regents raised these bastard kids as their one. Some of them were treated with disdain whilst others were forgiven as the sins of the father aren't those of the son. Aria formed part of the former group, she could feel the scorn and hatred to her very existence since she was a kid and she learnt why her last name wasn't that of her father, the only person who tried to understand and raise her after her mother committed suicide. He used whichever funds he could to help raise the girl as best as he could whilst avoiding de Graaf of exerting his influence over her upbringing. So, when Aria heard that the Marines were being reborn by the hands of the legendary Black Leg and the Pirate Hunter, he obliged her request of sending her there. Then, maybe, she'd be able to return with the might of the fleet and bring justice to the archipelago.

Skills:
Fencing (Cane): Aria is a skilled fencer, having practiced under tutors before joining the marines. This comes to shine, however, when she's able to show how she adapted it to use with her cane to disarm and reduce criminals without killing them. It's meant to whittle down her opponents with as little effort is possible until they make a mistake, on which she'd immediately capitalizes to deliver a final blow.
Naval Logistics: Due to the place and position she was born into, Aria had to have an understanding of trade routes, supply lines and the different kinds of ships. Whilst it's still limited, the basics of it are there to be developed in the future.

Techniques:
Sicilian Riposte: Aria quickly deflects an incoming attack and delivers a quick thrust with the tip of her cane towards the shoulder or the hip. It's a strike meant to destabilize her opponent and open them up for other strikes.
Queen's Lunge: Taking advantage of an opening, Aria delivers several strikes with her weapon towards the chest of her rival, aiming to daze them and open them up for finishing strikes.
Coup de Grace - Back-rank: Often delivered when she manages to get behind her opponent, she starts striking mercilessly against her opponent's back with a flurry of precise thrusts and swipes of her weapon, focusing on the upper torso and aiming to finally subdue them.
Coup de Grace - Boden: By creating an opening for her opponent to take, Aria aims to create a situation where she'd dodge a strong attack, an evasive maneuver combined with an ambitious and powerful lunge aiming for her opponents head. If done correctly, the strength of the strike is enough to knock her rival down for the count.

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.
Discharge; Burning Thunder- Kurena coats her fist with stored electricity that is unleashed when she makes contact, increasing damage and possibly stunning her target.
Air- A basic technique of the Kamiken, the user dashes at high speeds to cover distances very quickly.
Discharge; Electric Wraith- Kurena charges her body with electricity and unleashes it as she dashes with Air, electrocuting opponents as she passes by.

- Acrobatic: Tumbling, turning, flipping, and the like require minimal effort from Kurena.
Inventory: A pair of thick leather gloves that she wears to help protect her hands.
@SolotrosJust fixed a few spacing errors. Assigned colors to your skills and techniques; you can change them to ones that you prefer. Removed Shipwrecking Punch. I thought about it and decided that you can start with your four original karate moves. Kinda messed up there. My bad.
Perks are based on Fishman physiology and shipwright background. Kinda stumped right now, so if you can think of a better shipwright perk, I'm all ears.
Also, the bonus I thought of for Fishmen, instead of starting at Strength and Durability of 5, they start at 11. So that's a total of 12 more points. Won't allow you to redistribute your stats now.
Name: Cedric
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Race: Sturgeon Fishman
Rank: Ensign (Naval Military)
Cedric stands at 190.5cm and weighs 100kg. He doesn’t actually wear the necklace in the photo.
Personality:
Between the years he spent training with his father followed by immediately falling into work as hired muscle, Cedric’s personality became that of strict discipline. This was very apparent during his first few years as an adult, though the time he was under contract with Leo softened it a bit. He can appreciate humor, however cracking a joke himself is rare, and understands that periods of rest can be beneficial.
Background:
Cedric’s early life was relatively uneventful. From a young age his father began training him the martial art style known as Fish-Man Karate. This training consumed his life for several years. He and his father would start before the sun fully rose over the horizon and wouldn’t finish until it had already set. Free time was a luxury only given once a week. Rather than use this time to relax Cedric instead took to the sea on these days, spending hours exploring the ocean surrounding their home.
His training with his father ended when he turned 18, not because he had mastered the fighting style but because his father believed that the only way for Cedric to continue to improve would be to go out on his own and get practical experience with it. They did not simply kick him out, instead they asked one of their close friends to provide Cedric with transportation to a larger town. Upon his arrival he began taking on any jobs he could find, most of which involved acting as protection for merchants due to the highly dangerous nature of the oceans.
He spent four years working as hired muscle for various ships, which typically were just for one time gigs. However by the time he was 22 he had started making a name for himself as reliable protection and was approached for an unusual job, at least for him. The first oddity was the fact that the man requesting him was a human merchant, up until this point he had been working exclusively for other Fish-Men. His potential employer though didn’t seem to care what his race was, just that he was efficient. The second unique aspect was that he was being asked on for a long term contract. He would act as a bodyguard for Leo and his supplies for a period of one year and at the end could decide if he wanted to renew the deal.
In total Cedric spent a little under four years sailing with Leo, in which time the two had become friends. For a while he actually had been harboring the idea of simply staying indefinitely. It gave him plenty of opportunities to gain more experience in using his fighting style in live combat and the pay was much more than he had been earning before. This all changed when he caught wind of the fact that the Marines were recruiting, anyone and everyone that they could. He simply could not pass up the chance as he knew that it would serve as the perfect means of testing how far he had come. Leo even allowed him out of his contract early, though to be fair Cedric paid him a substantial fee for the inconvenience. He then made his way to Marineford to sign up.
Skills:
Fish-Man Karate - A martial art that is practiced by certain skilled members of the Fish-Man race. While deadly enough on land, Fish-Man Karate has a number of devastating underwater moves designed to be suitable with the Fish-Man strength and speed along with the mobility that goes while under water and, in some cases, a fish-man's personal adaptation (fins, teeth, etc.).
Shipwright - While sailing with Leo it was suggested to Cedric that he apprentice under the shipwright during his downtime. He was completely onboard with this idea as it gave him something to do rather than waste time. With his disciplined attitude he took quickly to the craft. With nearly four years spent helping fix the ship he has become adept at the art.
Techniques:
Hundred Brick Fist- A hard punch that can send an opponent flying. It is said that it is strong enough that it can break through 100 bricks.
Forearm Sledge - Cedric twists and slams his forearm into the back of his opponents neck.
Backfoot Jawbreaker - Usually done underwater, an inner-sole kick to the opponent's chin.

I'm sorry. I'm a bit confused by the first part. What did you mean by the concept of magnetism? I could've been mistaken but I thought that an item have a positive or negative charge was what caused electrons and protons to be pulled/ repelled, which was what electromagnetism was? (I haven't really studied much on physics so I'm really curious.)
I'm fine with a single item at the moment, to start with, but would that carry out through the character's advancement with the devil fruit?
I'm completely fine with a charge being limited to small objects to start with.
Requiring physical touch works too.
Well kinetic energy is movement. Normally if someone hits someone else the force of the blow actually disperses equally between the two parties. The issue with that is my character isn't physically strong and so if she were to use the ability, later one when heavier power came into play, she'd pull a deku and her arm would be smashed into pieces. So by adding the stipulation that force moves into the positive charge it makes it so any damage to her would be mitigated. Also put the thing it the neutral charge so she could put it on herself as a way to lower damage taken from blows she hasn't been able to put a charge on.
@JackDLemmy Alright. From what I get from the fruit is that it's similar to Kidd's, but instead of manipulating electromagnetism, it's more of the concept of magnetism. The idea in itself is fine for now.
The nerfs and conditions I was previously taking about would involve it's area of effect (AoE) and on how it's activated.
For it's AoE, I'll limit it to single objects. So basic hand held weapons, cannon balls, then large rocks at most. Charging up an average sized person would be difficult and take a significant amount of time. The stronger you get, the larger the objects it can affect. Eventually you'd get to charge up larger areas such as land.
The conditions I was talking about would be how you would trigger the charge. You'd require physical touch. At present, it would definitely limit what you can do, but that's the point.
A good reference point would be Shiki and his Levitation Fruit. It's very similar to what you want. However, instead of electromagnetism with pushing/pulling, it's just manipulating the things he levitates. The area he effects is incredibly massive, affecting entire islands.
Anyway, that's about it. Physical contact let's you assign a neutral charge. No technique needed. Changing it either positive or negative requires techniques.
Also, what do you mean regarding your mentions on kinetic energy?

(I haven't really studied much on physics so I'm really curious.) Not too keen with physics btw, so I tend to avoid explaining things in a scientific way when it comes to one Piece.
If you wanted the magnetism fruit, that would be Kidd's Fruit (as far as we now only dabbles with metallic objects) but you weren't going for that. Instead, you wanted the concept of magnetism applied to objects that wouldn't necessarily fall under it (wood, humans, the ground, etc.)
Basically, the Magnetism Fruit allows it's user to attract/repel, and probably provide a certain degree of manipulation, of metals. Your fruit, functions similarly, but with different conditions. This would include physical contact, but you wouldn't be limited to just metals.
I'm fine with a single item at the moment, to start with, but would that carry out through the character's advancement with the devil fruit? By carry out, not sure if you mean being limited to what you start with or able to improve on it in time. Regardless, it's the latter for you.
I'm completely fine with a charge being limited to small objects to start with. Sweet
Requiring physical touch works too. Sweet as well.

Also put the thing it the neutral charge so she could put it on herself as a way to lower damage taken from blows she hasn't been able to put a charge on. Not so sweet. Won't be green lighting this. For now, at least. Hitting objects that are harder/heavier isn't something uncommon in One Piece. Sanji breaking his leg during his kickingclash with Vergo, how Hajrudin wrecked his arm after the decisive punch against Machvise, or most recently, Luffy's fist clashing with Katakuri's Block Mochi. Also, there are instances where such forces are used in techniques, items, or both. The Impact and Revenge Dial or Lucci's Tekkai "Utsugi" that stores or redirects forces.
So yeah, for now, techniques involving redirection of energy/forces.

Ah okay. I see what was going on. I was thinking of electromagnetism and you were talking about magnetism. I get it now ^^;
Everything else makes sense too.

As for the image, not sure if you wanted someone who looked liked gambit or someone who playfully dabbles with cards. If you're interested, some alternative images: 1, 2, 3, 4
Devil Fruit is fine. Initially I was worried that it was just purely for stat boosting, but the Spade Spears made it more befitting of One Piece.
Also, since turning on Spade Surge is a prerequisite to use Spade Spears, it'll look like this.
Suit-Style: Spade Surge: House activates another sutsu-power to increase his speed and reaction times, enabling him to use the Spade Spears.Suit-Style: Spade Spears: House's hands transform into a black spade shape, making them extremely sharp and durable, effectively turning his arms into thrusting weapons. The stem of the spade protects about half of his lower arm from damage as well.
Yeah, and like I mentioned in the OP, we always round down when it comes to Willpower.
Lastly, although the fruit grants stat boosts, even if you described it as "doubling them and turning his pupils into diamonds", stat-wise, it would translate to that exactly. I'll think of a fair value for now.
Massive increases would be considered different skills and not just a technique. Examples would be Luffy's Gears or the Mink Tribe's Sulong Form.
Otherwise, everything else seems fine.
I was struggling to find someone that combined the trenchcoat-Dad-vibe from Dante in DMC 4 with... basically everything Gambit. Really like your pic 4, but gonna stick with this one since it's kinda that, but WITH the Trenchcoat
Most difficult thing was finding pictures without the Armor/Headguard Gambit has, since House definitely doesn't have that xDYeah I typed that up pretty late at night and forgot to remove the ",5" part. Considered it fixed along with the Spade Spear text formation.
And also lastly: yeah I wanted it to not be too stat-manipulaty, that's why I put the Spear in first :3. Also also, I didn't even think about it doubling the stat, that would get broken really quick. I can just remove that part of the sentence and the boost'll just be some small bump into the next tier or smth, but like you said, you'll figure the fairest numbers out. ^^
