@NachoBachoPacho Thanks, man. Really, the "disguise form" is the dual gauntlets form, since that lets him wear his weapons and quickly transform them as needed; if it's in the standard "giant cutlass" form, chances are the weapon's power has already been revealed, or he's pulled it from behind his back in a way that makes it seem like he possesses a Hammerspace of his own. Which could be good for confusing an opponent, of course.
@Ira What do you mean by that, Ira? Like I said, he could just remain an NPC of mine, or he could start at/progress to being a full character if you and/or @Renny see fit to have that occur.
I'm asking if you wanted to secure him as a character or leave him as an npc . I see the potential he has to become a force within the marines but that's only if you wanted to develop him as a character. if not we could keep him on as a mini-boss or whatever ideas you had for him.
Basically stating as an npc he'd have less free roam capability .
The above image was roughly accurate so far as physical appearance went a few years back, though by now Yuudaina is more tanned and tends to be more clean-shaven than the depicted individual. Similarly, his uniform is a lot more formal: he dresses in a simple white suit with cyan trim and tie and black shoes, plus the standard JUSTICE jacket worn over his shoulders like a cape and steel gauntlets like those of a knight on each hand, extending up to his elbow and with spikes on each knuckle.
Height/Weight: 208 cm (6' 10"), 122 kg (265 lbs)
Age: 33
Personality: Despite a fair amount of pampering, as one might expect of somebody born into a Noble family, Yuudaina's personality is heavily drawn from his time spent in the Marines. He values order and calm above most other traits, and is extremely good at remaining focused and rational in high-stress situations, a definite contributor to his rapid rise through the ranks of the Marines. Naturally, he is also a firm believer in the concept of Justice, though in his case, he stands by the notion that said Justice should only be Absolute if the target has done something irredeemably evil, such as raping or murdering an innocent living being; in these cases, he will often push to kill the target as quickly as possible, or at least to subdue them for imprisonment and ideally execution, but if the point of no return has not been crossed, he may well choose to let a pirate go free if they show signs of goodness in their actions, e.g. having redirected money stolen from a bad person toward a more charitable purpose. Still, he has found such cases to be few and far between, and his general dislike of pirates is quite justifiable given what he's seen of their sort.
Home Island/Sea: Loguetown, Polestar Islands, East Blue
History: [CLASSIFIED]
Fruit: Yuudaina himself does not wield any Devil Fruit of his own, citing a desire to remain capable of swimming and ignoring the draining effects of Seastone, for in his mind, only the finest and most powerful of Devil Fruits could offset that disadvantage. However, his weapon, Idaina Ken, has been "fed" the Arms-Arms Fruit, letting it transform from a basic, if oversized and well-crafted, Marine cutlass into just about any weapon Yuudaina desires, ranging from axes to hammers to other types of sword to rifles and even gatling cannons, complete with ammunition in the case of any projectile weapons produced. He has even "taught" the sword to be capable of splitting into two weapons of smaller (though still somewhat larger than usual) size, letting him dual wield weapons such as rapiers, pistols, rifles... really, any weapon he could produce normally, the primary difference simply being size and number, though the form he usually keeps them in is that of a pair of spiked steel gauntlets, as this grants him very easy access to a weapon in either hand at short notice if he is attacked unexpectedly. Furthermore, the nature of the Arms-Arms Fruit is such that with every transformation, any material separated from Idaina Ken regathers at the transforming weapon itself, be it projectiles fired or shards of a blade, making it shockingly difficult to destroy for a Paramecia "user" without specialised equipment or abilities, or else by simply vaporising the whole thing.
Abilities/Race Traits: Leadership - Yuudaina is a consummate military leader, and highly capable in situations involving the maneuvering of manifold troops. Furthermore, he understands the value of setting a good example, and will often wade into the fray himself to encourage his soldiers to do the same. Multi-Form Combat - Thanks to substantial training and the Devil Fruit of his weapon, Yuudaina is extremely capable as a fighter with just about any weapon one can provide - be it blade, bludgeon or bomb, if he knows of it, there is a very good chance that he is at least competent in its use, and likely an expert at that. Furthermore, even without a weapon to hand, he is highly skilled in various forms of boxing, and to a lesser extent quite capable so far as various other forms of unarmed combat go. Physical Power - Yuudaina's position is backed up by a great degree of physical power as well as skill: through raw strength alone, he is more than capable of lifting entire houses over his head or collapsing their structure down to the last brick with a single punch; he can readily run and strike faster than the eye can see; and his endurance is such that a cannonball to the face would feel more like a pinprick than anything else. Haki - Yuudaina is very skilled in Busoshoku Haki, being capable of further augmenting his physical abilities by coating his hands and/or Idaina Ken in it, to produce a much stronger attack that can even damage Logia-type Devil Fruit users. His Kenbunshoku Haki is nothing to sneeze at either, letting him predict attacks with plenty of time to avoid them if he so desires. As for Haoshoku Haki, if he possesses it, he is not aware of its existence yet.
Fighting Style: Yuudaina often prefers pummelling foes with his bare hands under normal circumstances, or rather with the gauntlets of Idaina Ken, as most opponents are not powerful enough to warrant any more extreme measures. Should a foe prove more significant, be known as a dangerous character to start with, or else be particularly desired as somebody to get rid of quickly, he will incorporate the full effects of his Busoshoku Haki and the manifold forms of Idaina Ken into his form, proving to be a foe who is not only very strong, but also extremely difficult to predict, as the style of his combat constantly changes with whatever form his weapon has taken on at any given moment, be it one weapon or two.
Ship Positions: Marine Commodore
Bounty: N/A
Just a quick character sheet for Yuudaina to help prop up the activity levels in the thread, as well as getting one of Dirk's backstory characters out of the way. It still holds that he's more of an NPC than a full-blown character, though he could certainly be upgraded to full character status if needed. And yes, I did get lazy and just classify his entire history... like a real Marine does. I'll fill that in if people want me to, and/or if I get the time and decide it's worth doing so. Other than that... @Ira, @Renny, what do you think?
“ The world is mines to Change. Never stand in Ambitions way.” Name: Yami D. Frenz ( Former King Frenz)
Height/Weight:7’2”
Age:36
Personality: Yami is a bit of a wild spirit. He feels it’s necessary for the cause. The feeling of doing anything for the greater good of mankind resonated from the man. Some think him to be maniacal , due to his attitude to towards both pirates and marines. In order to stop this long standing war , both would have to parish. It would be the only was the world could live in peace..He thought of himself ...as a Revolutionary.
Home Island/Sea: Alabasta
History:
As a child Yami lived in the slums. He was constantly picked on by everyone else for his father’s misdeeds. At the age of five Yami witnessed his father kill his mother and then proceed to commit suicide. From om that moment he realized love was only a fathom of a dream. He was forced to live in the streets , using odd jobs to fill his stomach and empty trash cans as shelter at night. He was forced to live in such harsh conditions for a moment in his life. His eleventh birthday would be the day his life would take another drastic turn.
He met a youth by the name Yusei. He appeared to be sixteen. His eyes were a deep gray that swallowed the world before him. Yusei was currently standing on a street corner in the slums , spewing what seemed like nonsense about world change. At first Yami wanted to ignore the man, but something about the words he spoke resonated a feeling of modesty inside him. Yami stopped and listened to what the teenager preached. He seemed so knowledgeable . Yami wished to be like him but lacked the necessities for school, the main one being money. After Yusei finished his sermon he left as if he felt the job was complete.
Yami began to follow the man, ducking in and out of dark alleys and behind trashcans in order not to be noticed. This happened for a couple of days. During the sun-lit hours of the day Yami would listening to the boys’ words about change in Alabasta as well as the world. He spoke on how corrupt the kingdom had become since V.V’s reign had ended and how if the slums stood together as people they could overturn the government. The thought excited young Yami. During the night he’d follow Yusei as a shadow would its’ master.
The 4th night was a little different than most. Yusei decided not to take his usual stroll path. Instead headed towards Alubarna. This intrigued Yami as he’d never been to the capital. It made him wonder what kind of business Yusei could be conducting. He followed the teenager, hugging the shadows and deep trenches of the slums , until they reach the desert. Yusei then stopped and spoke, “ I’ve noticed you been paying a lot of attention to me young master. Are you curious or just plain stupid? Yami froze with fear. His mind raced with thoughts of how he’d been caught and possible escape routes. He arose from the shadows and replied in the strongest voice he could muster, “ I’m….I’m Yami….not stupid .” . He twiddled his thumbs as he stood awkwardly in front of his elder. “ I want you to…” Just as the words left his mouth two of the kingdoms guards’ interrupted. Yami had never encountered such strong and civilized people. His shook with fear as they approached the two boys. Yami knew they’d be prosecuted for trespassing outside of the slums.
The guards spoke , “ You kids know the rules. No trespassing on the King’s land. This offense is punishable by death. I think we’ll just lock you to up instead . Maybe the King can make good use of two young slaves.” Yami’s heart dropped at the thought of being a slave while Yusei turned and stared at the guards with an unconcerned look. “ I don’t have time for this. I’m going to say this once. Get the hell out of my way or parish.” His voice held such a commanding passion it dropped the soldiers where they stood. Yami also passed out , the cause being unknown. When he awoke , he noticed his setting had changed as well as his clothes. He’d previously been clinging to rags he’d had since 7. He was now covered in an all black robes and smelled of lavender. Yami opened his eyes completely to find himself surrounded by books.
“ A library ? What am I doing here?...Where’s Yusei?” There was a note on a table nearby.
It read:
‘ Dear Yami, I understood this may be a little fast paced for you. I never expected to have someone be interested in my conquest. To the point . You were asking me to teach you… Do you see the books around you? This is all of the knowledge I know , left to me by my mentor. If you want me to teach you I expect you to read every book in here. I’ll be back in 3 yrs. There’s plenty of food in the kitchen. Make sure to learn your way around the compound. Have fun. I know you’ve never lived in such luxury. After all I’ve been watching you since 7 . Just promise me you won’t leave this house and never let anyone inside.’
Yami committed the next three years of his live to the knowledge of the world. The books’ consisted of vast knowledge from the past as well as locations and descriptions of islands never traveled. He constantly wondered what kind of man Yusei’s mentor was. Had he wrote all this himself? Was he a historian ? Maybe he was a world government official. That thought made Yusei wince. His father had been an official. He tried to justify killing his wife as Divine Justice. Yami prayed that Yusei’s mentor wasn’t the same.
The three years passed without a warning. During this time Yami read most of the day and spent the nights working out. He figured he’d have to become stronger as well as knowledgeable. The books taught him everything from being a doctor and recognizing diseases to cooking 5- star gourmet meals. He practiced in order to impress Yusei. He wanted to show his mentor how much he’d grown since the last time they’d seen one another.
Yusei stormed the front gates in a fit of rage. A mushi den-den clasped in his right hand. He was speaking to someone , a lot older it seemed. “ Why are you leaving me behind again. What kind of mentor are you?”
The voice was mellow and frail as it came through the transponder . “ According to you , you have unfinished business in Alabasta. You can’t leave that boy on his own...Look I’ll be back in a while. Till then train the kid. I have something special for the both you when we return.”
“ Damn you Traligfar . Return as soon as possible.” The transmission ended. Yusei looked upon the ground before turning to Yami and flashing a warm smile. “ He wants me to train you. With that being said did you read all these books.
“ The last page of the last book is missing. You knew that already. You knew I could never finish your challenge.” At that moment Yusei pulled the page from inside his jacket pocket. “ You’ll have to fight me for it.” Yusei smiled once more and replaced the page snuggly in his pocket. For the next two years from sun up to sundown they fought, only resting to eat and study.
One day Yami came over a book entitled haki. It was vastly detailed the way to obtain the three powers. He then made Yusei promise to train him in the art of Observation and Armament haki. He achieve Conquerors on his own. Yusei agreed . He began to have Yami mediate instead of sleep at night . Yami saw this part of training as useless at first , but Yusei was training him to observe his surroundings . He than began to plot on ways to obtain the page. Half of the final years went by. Yami concentration was that of an owl’s . He could sense anything within a 30 mile radius. He felt Yusei as he creeped around the couch . A slide kick would come next. Yami had learned Yusei.
During the year he found that Yusei was trained in Wing Chun. Through the many battles and a couple books Yami trained himself to sufficiently counter Yusei. He jumped to avoid the kick and countered with one of his own. Yusei dodged left as Yami’s foot crashed through the floor. He’d become so such stronger in three years. This made Yusei proud. He relaxed for a minute. Yami noticed the opportunity. He extended his left hand towards Yusei’s chest and stopped at the lappel of his jacket. ‘ The one inch punch. He’ll never see it coming.’ He then reached inside the jacket and attempted to pull the page from inside. Yusei noticed the attempt. He would indeed succeed if his opponent hadn’t been Yusei. The adult swung and hard right into the boys’ chest. The hand was covered in what seemed like a black mist to Yami. He flew ,spiraling into the library wall.
Yami felt his ribs compress against his lungs as he gagged on blood. He was slowly fading out of conscienous as Yusei approach him. “ Overdid it didn’t I. Oh well you’ll be fine. It’ll make you stronger. These were the last word Yami heard before drifting off. Yusei peeled him from the canvas . He placed Yami onto the couch nearby. As he settled beside him and began to patch his wounds , Yusei noticed Yami was clutching on to something his his left hand. As it open it revealed a blood soaked page. “ Well I’ll be damned kid. Guess I have no choice but to show you what I did to you now….You win.”
A few weeks later Yami arose from slumber. From that point he and Yusei rehabilitated his body. After a month Yami was in well enough condition to begin Armament Training. The next five months would be dedicated to non-stop rigorous training. After the last month passed Yami seemed like a natural. A fist full of knowledge in one hand , the power to make a change in the other. He’d now be 17. On the night of July 3rd , Yusei decided he’d take Yami outside. It had been 6 years since the boy had seen the sun. After all the compound was underground. They were just to do a simple run for goods in the capital but it all things don’t go according to plans. They’d been caught by the King’s Squadron and framed for the murder of a high noble. As the guards began to place cuffs on the duo Yusei went into attack using himself as a distraction as Yami made an escape. He immediately returned to the compound and never return outside.
That was until about a year later. This would be the faithful day he met Trafalgar Law who’d be waiting on the doorstep. As soon as he was let inside he requested Yusei. Yami explained to him the sacrifice the young man had made in order to keep his promise to Law. Law sighed in disbelief . He couldn’t believe something like that could happen to someone so full of pride. “ Fine. I guess you're taking his place. But on one condition. You return here and change the Island. Do it for Yusei.”
Yami nodded with reluctance .He’d spend the next 5 years under the wing of a legendary pirate, but not before Law remembered the present he’d brought. There were two devil fruit wrapped in cloth. One seemed as bright as the sun itself. The other as dark as Yami’s hair. He instantly grew fond of the darker fruit . He bit into the black fruit and felt a power surge through him like never before . His body began to meld into the dark surface of his shadow. Yami felt like a cloud in the night sky. “ I’m glad you approve. You're going to spend the next 5 years honing every ability known to the Yami Yami Fruit .
6 years later
Yami returned to Alabasta to incite Revolution. He came as a storm of darkness that overwhelmed even the elite of Alabastian guards. As he cornered the King he could understand there wasn’t anything to bargain for. If change was to be made he’d have to do it himself. With this thought in mind and the death of his friend to avenge he decapitated the king and used his head to declare himself king of Alabasta. After all who would oppose him? His main focus became equality, making school free for all and evenly dispersing food. Money was longer and burden in the country because everyone was knowledgeable enough to balance finance. A couple years passed and Alabasta prospered just as Yami dreamed but He couldn’t help but feel that wasn’t enough. He’d changed a country. Maybe his impression was big enough to change the world.
Yami decided to pick a successor in order to travel the world and right the wrongs of the islands under tyranny . His goal was to unite mankind under one power.
Fruit:Yami Yami no Mi: a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows the user to create and control darkness at will, making the user a Darkness Human.
Abilities/Race Traits:
Observation Haki Observation Haki is a Haki that grants a form of brief premonition. Its most common use is sensing the presence of others, danger, or ill intent. Some is capable of sensing emotions or empathizing with those severely hurt. Especially strong people can sense the level of strength in an opponent using this ability. Some drawbacks to this is that motives or attacks that are random at its core can blind the ability. Others are that being swallowed by a sentient being can hide one’s presence as well. Also a loss concentration can create a gap to be abused.
Armament Haki Armament Haki is a type of invisible, spirit-force, armor. When concentrated in one area the subject of its manifold turns black and sheeny, looking like obsidian. The most exemplary feat this kind of armament can employ is the ability to pass through devil fruit defensives. Logias included. Clashes between two armament users are usually decided by the strength of their resolve and physical abilities. Its not unnatural for someone with armament Haki to get beaten by someone leagues above them without the art.
Conquerors Haki Is the rarest of the three Haki. Unlike Armament and Observation which can be taught to anyone, the Conquerors Haki is only alive in one out of several million people. This Haki allows one exert their will onto others. Commonly use to subjugate weaker foes or masses of people. The effectiveness of this depends on the different in strength between the person using Haki and person(s) the user is trying to knock out. It said that when two users of this Haki clash, their will are manifested in the form of a weighty pressures and intense breath of air. Another advantage is the eerie ability to tame savage animals and beasts.

“ The ...ground is ….shaking… Where the hell am I? Fuck my hand feels numb.”
Marxo awoke in disarray. The ground beneath him trembled in a mighty rage. This battle had took a toll on the island. It seemed there was an avalanche happening where the mountain once was. The tree had now took form as a statue. The rest of the island would be devoured in snow. Those families couldn’t be saved by anyone. Marxo noticed his wrist as it dangled from the socket it called home. The pain immediately shot through his body. He dropped to his knee and doubled over.
“Damnit...I need to pop this back in place.” He winced as he grabbed one hand inside the other. *SNAP* It popped back into place. Marxo doubled over in pain once more . He then tore his captains coats and wrapped it around the injury. With his free arm he then reached into the coat and pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a den-den mushi. It had been months since he had a smoke. Losing an island called for one. He sat back against what used to be a neighboring mountain to the current one going falling into an avalanche and lit a cigarette.
Pushing back his hair he spoke , “Overconfidence…. I should’ve killed him when I first seen him. My arrogance got the best of me and and I failed the mission. To think the bastard actually got away...Where the hell is Johnny!
He then spoke into the transponder. “ Johnny. Get your ass here now. Xerxes is out and making an escaping. At the current moment I can’t tell where the other are located but the Red Hood Pirates are also here. I think the planned to break him out. The entire island is covered in snow so any bystanders have been killed. This now makes the Red Hood Pirates considered dangerous. Use all measures to stop them at any cost. Also send reinforcements to where the giant statue is. The others may need help .
He breathed a sigh of relieve . He could always count on the marines.
@Ira So do we go attempt to cross the Grandline after this Arc? What so we deal with afterwards.
Not yet..We feel its necessary to explore the grandline just as the straw hats. The number of islands is left up to you. Me and @renny thinks its too early for the new world. I also think we should let our characters develop more by going on separate adventures. Not really trying to jump the gun.
Marxo careened in the opposite direction of Xerxes. He done his job. The prisoner was no longer threat. All that was left was to clean up the dirty work. His thoughts raced as he impacted the mountain. It exploded from the sheer force of the marines speed and his haki covered body. His hand was dangled from the wrist previously broken from reality checking Xerxes. The man’s body could no longer hold its form . He began to feel weight collapsed on his legs.
“ Shit ….Guess I outdid myself there. I think I’m going to get out of this damn tree and rest.”
With that of his energy he hand his fist a giants’ . “ This should do the trick.” He then wrapped the fist in haki and proceeded to punch the hollow tree. He broke a hole big enough to squeeze out of horizontally and climbed through. At that moment fresh air hit his face at alarming speed. He soon noticed he was free falling from at least 600 ft.
“ That's right . I was at the top of the tree. Well damn my luck. I’ll be out for a few.”
The marine continued to fall into the gravel below him . When he finally reached the ground the impact sunk him 4 ft. deep. Before passing out from injury and exhaustion he grabbed a den-den. From his inner captain's coat pocket. He rung up Johnny who currently on the outskirt of the island and said one last thing .
