Home Island

Heaven's Garden:
Heaven's Garden is a small island at the beginning of The Grand Line, hidden just within th Calm Belt. The island was originally a landmass filled with only plants, trees, and a thousand or so different kinds of bugs, but there were no animals or humans. However, this all changed when Stefan Walch stumbled upon it, and after just a few hours on the island, he decided to make it his home.

Through the years the island has gone through some rather drastic changes. Stefan gathered seeds, roots, plants, and dwarves from all over the world, bringing them back to Heaven's Garden to make the island into what he viewed as the perfect garden. A place where any plant could grow and every flower could bloom.

Appearance

Hair Color:

Yellowish platinum blond

Eye Color:

Amber

Physical Appearance:

Brian is by no means a big man. He is rather petite for a man his age, standing just short of 5'6 with a rather slim build, and thanks to his lack of height and build he often gets mistaken for an 18, maybe even a 16-year-old. Brian has a set of light amber eyes and shoulder length blond hair with a few darker whips here and there.

Style:

Brian was from a young age taught how to dress, often opting to wear white long-sleeved shirts, black vests, and black pants, but he wouldn't be caught dead wearing t-shirts with logos or hoodies. Proper posture is something that Brian strives for, always trying to stand straight with his shoulders slightly back, but he has a tendency to slouch over when he thinks nobody is looking.

Personality

Innate Personality:

Despite being born into high society, a life where Brian could have just laid on his back and enjoyed himself as the days passed, he is surprisingly hardworking, more than willing to get a bit dirty, bruised, and potentially bloodied if it is required. He values order and structure, as it calms him down, allowing him to focus on what is in front of him and stopping his mind from wandering elsewhere, as it has a nasty habit of doing that if he is stressed out. Other than that, he wishes to avoid useless skirmishes, believing that violence for violence sake is stupid and that you should only bear arms in an effort to protect yourself or who/what is important to you.

Likes:

+ Coffee, the darker the better.

+ Dwarfs

Dislikes:

- Most fruits
- Fire
- Rough seas
- Sea monsters
- Sour candy

Skills/Talents:

Brian is extremely good with plants, knowing his way around most flowers, trees, and well, pretty much anything that grows. On a ship, he can be useful for all kinds of small chores, things like cleaning, keeping a lookout, or helping the chef.

Motivations/Goals/Dream:

Brian dreams of one day restoring Heaven's Garden by bringing back the lost plants and trees that littered the island, to return the island to the sanctuary his father meant for it to be. Furthermore, he also wants to see what the world has to offer, and what lies beyond the shores of Heaven's Garden.

A side goal of his is to recruit more dwarves to work and live on Heaven's Garden.

Reason For Joining

Brian wants to travel the world for several reasons, and tho he isn't a huge fan of pirates (giving that some of them killed his family), he feels it will be easier to traverse the Grand Line with people by his side.

History/Bio:

For years Brian lived on a secluded island in the Grand Line, surrounded by nothing other than his family, a colony of dwarves, and the massive sprawling gardens that they cared for. Brian and the Walsh family lived a good life, enjoying the riches his father had gathered throughout the years, and having very few worries.

The dwarves living on the island became Brian's best friends. He joined them as they tended to the gardens, working beside them, learning their tips and tricks. He found the small creatures incredibly fascinating and fun, they could do things he could never dream off, and even tho they were small, they had the strength of a giant. Through the years they thought him a set of acrobatic tricks, like how he could jump higher, back and front flips, and a slue of other aerial maneuvers. It amused his father (Stefan Walsh) to see his son jumping around and playing with the dwarves, but the rest of his family couldn't have cared less, they saw it as nothing else than pointless exercises.

Heaven's Garden was a great place to grow up. The island rarely saw pirates as the Calm Belt was a place most people avoided, and in the few times someone did come across the island, the dwarves were more than equipped to deal with them. That was until an especially rough set of pirates came upon the island. They raided the whole island, destroying or stealing everything in their path, and the dwarves couldn't stop them. 3/4's of the Walsh family was wiped out that day, leaving Brian as the only human left on the island, as the dwarves managed to drag him to safety before the pirates found him.

The remaining dwarves and Brian tried to restore the island, but it was to no use. Whole species of plants had been wiped out, and others struggled for survival. So Brian decided that there was only one option left, he would have to leave Heaven's Garden in order to bring back the missing flora. The dwarves were hesitant, knowing that the boy would easily get swallowed by the dangerous world. So, before he left, they taught Brian the basics of combat, incorporating the tricks they had taught him through the years, giving him a quick crash course before transporting him off to the nearest island, a place called Twin Capes.

Relationships

Family/Friends:

Humans

Father: Stefan Walsh (Dead)

Stefan Walsh was many things, but above all, an explorer. In his younger years, he traveled around the world, bringing back seeds and plants to Heaven's Garden, adding them to his ever-growing collection of rare plants and trees. It wasn't before his wife (Elizabeth Walsh) gave birth to their first child (Alaric) that he stopped adventuring, choosing instead to stay home and tend to his family and whatever needs arose.

Mother: Elizabeth Walsh (Dead)

Elizabeth Walsh married for money. She held no real love for Stefan, but she had a special place in her heart for his wealth and island. Stefan being away on adventures didn't bother her, if anything, she preferred those weeks and months he was out at sea, but that came to an end as she gave birth to a child (Alaric,), after that, Stefan remained by her side, never going out to sea for more than a day or two.

Brother: Alaric Walsh (Presumed Dead)

Alaric Walsh was the first child of Stean and Elizbeth Walsh, loved by his father and tolerated by his mother. Alaric grew up learning the ins and outs of the garden, how to care for it, and what to look out for from his father, but he never made friends with any of the creatures that inhabited it. As years passed Alaric grew to become more like his mother, sitting back and watching the world pass by, enjoying life while treating everyone else as servants.

The Walsh's:

The Walsh family never really knew the meaning of hard times, as their wealth and social status meant that they could pay or talk themselves out of situations the common man would find crippling. This wealth and status could be tracked back to one thing, their island, Heaven's Garden. Heaven's Garden is a massive garden filled with plants, trees, fruits, and herbs from all over the world, even a few that are considered exciting in the areas from where they originated, and it is by selling and cultivating these plants that the family have earned their fortune. However, nothing remains perfect forever.

The island wasn't unfamiliar with pirate raids, even going so far as to hire a tiny set of bodyguards to watch over the island and deal with potential threats. But there was one group of pirates that managed to get past the guards. They killed anything in their way, leaving a trail of blood and fire as they tore through Heaven's Garden. This raid spelled the end of Heaven's Garden and the Walsh family. Brian's father and mother were quickly killed off, and Brian has been unable to find any trace of his brother, he assumes the worst.

Dwarfs

Caretaker/Teacher: Lino (Female)

Lino served as a caretaker and teacher for the Welsh family. She tended to whatever needs their two boys had, while also teaching them history and about the things that laid outside the shores of Heaven's Garden. She was caring, loving, and patient, but she would have drowned Alaric in a river if she had a choice. She found the boy annoying, disrespectful, and rude. Everything she tried to teach went in one ear and right out the other, he dismissed her at every turn, and he always barked demands her way.

Gardeners: Entrik (Male), Chole (Female,)

Entrik and Chole are the only two remaining gardeners on Heaven's Garden. There used to be somewhere around twenty of them, but the pirate raid killed the rest. Alaric never spent time with these two dwarfs (or any of the others for that matter), but Brian spent time with them, working in the gardens, helping them with both big and small tasks, doing whatever he could help.

Bodyguards:Armish (Male), Adina (Female), Guarlaon (male)

These 3 are the remaining guards of Heaven's Garden. These were the dwarfs that taught Brian to fight after the pirate raid that ruined the island.

The Dwarves of Heaven's Garden:

Dwarves have quite the reputation as cultivators of plants, and it was because of this Stefan choose to fill his island with them. He bought them as slaves, stole them off of islands where they were being treated like shit, and gave them a new life on Heaven's Garden, letting them roam and live on the island if they promised to care for it. And they did. Plants that normally should have died or never even grown on Heaven's Garden spread like wildfire, and Stefan was greatly pleased with their efforts.

A few dwarves were not on garden duty, instead, they served as guards, using their combat proves and strength to fend of attackers.

Dynamics:

Remains blank for now as he is not part of the crew

Combat Information

Name :

Tontatta Combat, Big Boy edition.

Type:

Weapon Based

Explanation:

Tontatta Combat is a fighting style native to the dwarfs of Tontatta Kingdom. It's a close range combat style that relies upon full body motion, incorporating spins, flips, and other such movements. The dwarfs use their hands and tails to fight, but Brian does not have a tail, so he has taken to using his legs and lance instead.

Combat Personality/Style:

Brian's version Tontatta Combat is very similar to the dwarfs, but he lacks their tail and raw physical strength, so he relies more on precision and speed than the dwarfs. He doesn't go out searching for a fight, but Brian isn't the kind to run away either, aka, he won't start an unnecessary fight, but he will finish it.

Strengths :

Brian excels in close quart combat in areas where there are items or buildings he can jump onto and of off to gain height and unexpected attack angles. He prefers enemies with low defenses and slow movements.

His ideal scenario is any scenario where he can surprise his enemy, taking them down with just a single blow.

Outside of combat Brian is rather nimble, able to jump up to extremely high places, and he can run pretty damn fast.

Weaknesses:

There are a few kinds of enemies that will prove a challenge for Brian to take down. People with high defenses that can withstand the kicks, stabs, and punches he throws their way, long ranged combatants that can take him down from afar, and Logia users, but then again, most people struggle against a Logia user.

Brian's worst case scenario is to be forced to fight in straight hallways against ranged attackers. It would leave him with no areas to hide or place from where he could launch surprise attacks.

As mentioned, Brian isn't a powerhouse and lacks raw physical strength. He won't be able to carry or hold a heavy item for long periods of time, that is if he can even get them off the ground.

Experience:

Brian hasn't been in any big fights or fought an incredibly high number of people, but he has been training for years. Heaven's Garden has never faced huge issues with pirates (except that one time) or other unwelcome guests, but in the few cases it has, Brian and the dwarfs were called upon to protect the island. It resulted in a small skirmish here and there, but the dwarfs always dealt with the heavy hitters, leaving Brian to deal with the rookies. So while Brian doesn't have much experience fighting, he has the basics down, and with time he will hopefully refine his skills.

Equipment:

A lance
Brian's lance is not very pretty to look at, but it gets the job done. It rivals him in length, as it measures to 5 feet from tip to tip, but it is surprisingly light, weighing in at only 3 kg (6.6 pounds). The lance can be taken apart, splitting into two parts, the base/handle, and the pointy end, this is mainly done for cleaning or storage purposes.

The pointy end has a sharp metal edge that spirals all the way from the base up to the tip, very much like a screw or something similar.

Sample Techniques:

Tail Hammer: By jumping high into the air Brian positions himself over the target and then kicks down (the dwarfs would have used their tail.). It is very similar to Sanji's Concassé (Crush).

Needle: Using his incredible speed Brian kicks off the ground launches himself towards the target. Rather similar to Shark Darts.

Shattering Lance: Brian stabs his lance at what he perceives as weak points in his opponent's armor. Hoping to dismantle, ruin the armor, or create himself an opening for upcoming attacks.

Tontatta/Big boy Swing: A dwarf would have grabbed the leg/feet of an opponent and swung them around, but for Brian, that isn't an option. Instead, he stabs the tip of his lance into the ground, taking a firm grip on the lances hilt before swinging himself around, kicking the opponent in the side.

Meta Information:
Character Growth Plan:

As time goes, I want Brian to improve as a fighter, potentially learning some kind of Haki (most likely armament). As a person I want him to become a bit more cutthroat, for him to learn that even if a fight isn't necessary, it might be the best way to solve a situation. I also want him to surpass his father as an explorer, for him to go places his father could never even dream off.

Combat Growth:

Brian will improve his fighting technics as time goes, learning new ways to use his lance while also sharpening his acrobatic skills.

Planned Story Points/Arcs:

As if I haven't mentioned them enough, I would enjoy if the crew came upon a set of or an island of dwarves. This would be a place for Brian to learn a thing or two, while also making an attempt to have a few of them go to Heaven's Garden. Or, the crew could stumble upon the people that ruined Heaven's Garden.

History:

I don't think there is anything for me to add here.

History:

I don't think there is anything for me to add here.

Here is my accepted CS :3

House of Powers (reboot)

Thomas Silias Falch

Pool-room-lounge

Thomas was quick to introduce himself as the girl who shot lightning came up to him and Baily. "I'm Thomas Falch, but, Imma run now, see you guys whenever you get to the lounge." He didn't want to be rude, but he felt it better to but some distance between himself and Bailey after what had just happened, it would be better for everyone.

He rummaged the halls for a moment before finally finding his room, quickly going inside to take a few deep breaths while all the shit he had just witnessed sank in. A guy had made his cheek and wrist go numb, some other guy had made a helix or whatever out of water, and a lady had then somehow managed to shot friking lightning. It was all too crazy, the kinds of thing Thomas expected to find in a comic, but he had just gotten a front seat to quite the show. He wanted to make himself believe that this was all a hoax and that everything had been staged, but sadly the events with Bailey had proven these things to be real. There had been no way that anyone could have numbed the exact points where he had chosen to touch Thomas, everything else could have been fixed with money, time, and a hell of an imagination, but not Bailey.

Thomas remained in his room for a while, feeling slowly returning to his wrist and cheek. "Guess I should go join everyone," he groaned, making his way out into the hall and down into the lounge where everyone had already gathered. He leaned up against a wall and listened to everyone talking about their powers, and how they needed to keep themselves safe.

"We don't" Thomas mumbled as he listened to Cass go about how it was impossible to keep everyone safe, and to be honest, Thomas doubted they could. Even if everyone knew their powers, then there was still the question of if they could control them or if they were merely a response to outside stimuli. What would happen if the lightning girl or water boy suddenly lost control for a moment and ended up killing everyone? Did the staff at this facility have some way of dealing with such a situation? Maybe this facility was less about keeping its inhabitants alive and more about keeping everyone outside safe? The idea wasn't a pleasant one, but Thomas tended to paint a rather bleak picture of most situations, rather wanting to be positively surprised than horribly disappointed.

Thomas shrugged, pushing himself off the wall he had leaned against as everyone had had their say, and then headed for the bar. "We don't," He repeated, throwing a quick glance over to Cass, clearly referencing the exploding comment. "For all we know this place is nothing else than a fancy prison, somewhere they can keep us so we don't hurt everyone on the outside. Very few of us, expect-" Thomas pointed over to the four people that seemed to at least partially know what their power was. "-those people, have any idea of what they can do, so, by all means, the rest of us can just be bombs waiting to go off." He threw in a smile for good measure, but doubted that any of his rambling would earn him any favors.

One Piece: Brave New World

An annoyed groan escaped the gray-haired and shaggy-faced marine as he peaked around yet another corner in search for his target. Why had they sent him? Surely there were less competent rascals onboard this Warship that could do these pointless tasks, so why had he gotten stuck with the job of tracking down a kid barely half his age? The kid hadn't spent even a tenth of the time in the Marine ranks that he had and yet, that little sneak had managed to crawl his way all the way up to become a Lieutenant Junior Grade. Just thinking of it was enough to make the marine clench his fist. "Dedric Olari, the Lieutenant Junior Grade. Pfft, what a joke."

"Jealousy really doesn't suit you recruit." Dedric had heard the same comments before, people wondering just how he had managed to snag his title, and he always gave them the same answer. "I merely do as I get told, not my fault if that gets me places," A snide boyish grin stretched from ear to ear as Dedric walked up to the obviously cranky marine. "What did you want from me?"

"We seem to be unde-" That was as far as recruit Johannes got before something shook the boat, knocking him off his feet while Dedric stood firm as a pole.

"Attack?" Dedric asked mockingly, having a quick stretch. "Don't worry, I felt the first quake." He added before stepping over the sprawled out man and setting off towards the main deck.

---

It didn't take long before Dedric found himself in the middle of a developing chaos, marines running everywhere, carrying gunpowder and cannonballs, and it didn't take a genius to figure out why. Dedric threw a quick glance out to sea and almost immediately noticed the pirate ship. "Those are the scrapyard guys? Right?" He asked to nobody in particular as he waited for one of those oh so familiar voices to start barking orders.

Pool

There seemed to have been something in that whole spiel about everyone being mutants because this didn't feel right, it felt wrong. The closest thing Thomas could compare this strange numbness to was local anesthesia, but he could still use the affected parts of his body, there was just no feeling in them, and this kid was to blame. This wet, brown-haired dork that seemed to no grasp the concept of personal space, and hadn't he heard the shouts for him to back the fuck off? Had his mutation also affected his hearing? Or was he simply too high on a power rush to notice anything around him? If so, it was time to change that.

"Ey!" Thomas shouted, his voice booming through the room as the anger began to bubble inside him. His fist began to clench, his knuckles whitening as he resisted the urge to lash out. There was no questioning if he was angry, it was more a question of if he was dangerous. A long shaky breath escaped him as Thomas tried his best to ignore the voice flooding his mind, the voice demanding violence or some form of payback.

Anger management had never been a strong suit for Tommy, but he always tried to deny it, claiming that he always had control even as the pile of evidence against that kept growing larger. He didn't want to admit that he had issues, he wanted to sweep them under the mat and ignore them, but his inner demons never stayed silent for long. Throughout his schooling, Tommy had a habit of getting into fights and arguments, but he never ended up badly hurting or injuring anyone, and with age, he has gotten slightly better at calming himself down. However, a recent episode of his almost cost him his place in the military, but his officer had just made the excuse that Tommy could get a bit intense once in a while and that there was no point in forcing him to withdraw when there only were a few months left. He has no idea of why the officer chose to go out on a limb for him, to give him a 2nd chance, and he had gotten sick before he had had the chance to ask.

"I told you to let go of me, but you dragged me in here and did something to my wrist. I told you to stop, and you still think its funny to go ahead and use me as some test dummy? What if this is permanent?" Thomas gazed down at his hand, watching as his fingers moved while he felt nothing. Everything worked, so why couldn't he feel it? What had this idiot done?

Thomas took a quick step forward, his eyes narrowing as he looked into those beautiful blue eyes. "Oh he made me fell numb," Thomas chuckled as he answered the newly arrived male. "My hand feels like a dead piece of meat, and he is shouting about it like it's the fucking coolest thing ever." Thomas reached out, catching a few fingers into one of Bailey's belt hoops, preventing him from retreating. "Fix, me," he commanded but was cut off as some blond twirp told him to calm. He didn't want to calm, he wanted to punch Bailey, but sadly, the guy had a point. Tommy didn't know what his power was, but if just a slight touch from Bailey was enough to numb him, then what could he do? Who could say that the punch would prove fatal. Thomas groaned, biting down on his lower lip, unclenching his fist as he let go of Bailey. "You are safe...for now."

Thomas Silias Falch

Nickname:

Tommy

Age:

21. Thomas was born on the 14th of March, 1996.

Birthplace:

Lillehammer (Norway)

Sexuality:

Straight-ish

Spoken Languages:

Norwegian, English, some Swedish.

History:

Thomas was born in the far north of Norway on the 14th of March to Marie Elisabet and Stefan Flach, a couple of caring, loving and unprepared parents, as he was somewhat of an accident. They have never had any second thoughts about keeping him, but they wish they had been more prepared for the daunting task it would be to raise a child.

In the early years, everything was going peachy. Tommy grew up just like any other kid, going to school, doing homework, playing football (not by choice), making friends, getting into petty fights, and he was the best paper airplane maker in his class; they just flew better than the others. And, at home, he had two loving parents that did their best to take care of him and provide the things he needed. He had no complaints, and they were the center of his world.

Years passed by rather quickly, and towards the end of Tommy's schooling, he got drafted into the military. And so, just a week after graduation, he was whisked away to a military base halfway across the country to serve for 18 months, with only the occasional weekend or week off to visit family and friends. He expected it to be hard, but after just a month at the base, he started enjoying it. He enjoyed the people, the exercises, and all the weird stuff he got to take part in.

Tommy ended up only staying for 16 out of those 18 months as a strange sickness crept its way into him. At first, it felt like the flu, the slight fever and annoying cough spoke to that, but as time went, it just kept getting worse. His body temperature started fluctuating wildly, he struggled to keep food down, and eventually, he started blacking out. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, but there were no doctors that could make heads or tails of what was going on, that was until the people in the bio-suits showed up. They offering to take Tommy to a place where they could treat him properly, and Tommy was willing to say yes to anything as long as it made all this go away.

Powers:

Cloaking - The power to hide objects and subjects from sight, essentially turning them invisible. However, this power is incredibly draining, and if Tommy wants to cloak something he has to be in contact with it. He also has the ability to render himself invisible, but only if he remains stationary, any movement will break the invisibility. Other weaknesses are that even tho the object or subject is hidden from sight, they can still be heard, smelled or felt.

Hallway

The feeling of being drenched from top to toe made Thomas close his eyes. The water poured from the shower head, soaking every inch of Tommy and sending him into a slight trance. Warm water always had this effect on him, it made him relax, dulled his mind, and drowned out the world he no longer understood. "Mutant?" He muttered to himself, dragging both his hand's trough his hair as his mind worked overtime to make heads or tails of this whole situation. It just made no sense, he was just sick, not some friking X-men or Avenger character. A deep, drawn-out groan escaped him as he leaned against the shower wall, he wasn't ready for life altering event of this kind, but if the lady was to believe, there were more like him in this very building. Thomas stood there for another 20 minutes, letting the warm water cascade over him, before finally stumbling his way out of the shower. He felt weak, sluggish, but it was time to do some exploration.

A pair of gray joggers and a white t-shirt laid stacked on his bed, along with a note. "We have sent a request to have your clothes delivered here, but for now, you will have to live with what we can provide." The clothes fit, somewhat, the pants were a bit short, and the T-shirt was a bit tight in some places, but all in all, it could have been a lot worse.

"Cafeteria, gym, auditorium, games room, and a pool...hmmm," Tommy mumbled to himself as he paced the halls. This place seemed large, even if he compared it to the military base, maybe it would be too bad to be isolated here after all.
