One Piece: The Scarlet Pirates

Bel Cleargarden

---

The Brown Isles were bathed in the warm hues of the evening sunset and the small pirate haven was abound with activity. Bartering, drinking, talks of rumors and new names making waves in the ocean. Being a respite for pirates and the like, you'd think not much could raise brows around the harbor. Today, however there was one sight drawing attention whether it be baffled stares, amused chuckles, or even the occasional catcall. A young woman skipped down the cobblestone road, her striking scarlet hair dancing behind in a couple of long braids. Her smooth mocha skin and defined curves would be enough to draw a particular kind of attention but something else was garnering her bewildered looks.

She stopped her skipping as she came to halt. Tilting her head up slightly she sniffed at the air, concentrating. "Mmm, no good. This place is so dirty and soaked with booze that I can't get a good lock on his scent." She mumbled to herself with a sigh. She turned to one of the vendors with a friendly smile and sauntered over. The owner was a little put off when she came to his stall as he tried to pretend that he hadn't been staring. Though she seemed unfazed by the onlookers as the next she did clearly showed she was serious about the out of place garb she was wearing.

"Excuse me, but would mind telling me if you've seen my brother?" Her question was asked while she slightly raised the hem of the maid uniform she wore and curtsied. The vendor's draw dropped, letting the cigarette he'd been smoking fall to the ground. This girl was actually for real. "Ummm..." He had almost missed the question in his astonishment but without missing a beat the young lady continued. "He's about yea high, black hair...he's actually hard to miss~" She spoke so cheerfully and almost innocently. "Uh, sorry miss. Can't say I have. Are you sure you're not the one who's lost?" He had to ask. A girl like her walking around a place like this, wearing what she was wearing is just asking for trouble. "That's too bad. Thank you anyway~" She seemed to brush off his question, though it was the most politely he'd ever been brushed off. "Well, if you do see him, I'd very much appreciate if you could let me know. You can find my ship at the docks. My name is-" Speaking of trouble, it had just cut her off.

"Hey, well ain't you an eye full. I gotta say, a bold choice but you're definitely checkin' off a box for me, baby." Two unsightly looking pirates had taken notice of what everyone else already had and approached the young woman. "Yeah, we could use a maid on our ship. Our cooks awful and we're all to lazy to keep it clean. And of course your special services would be so very welcome aboard!" One of the two men grabbed her arm. The vendor jumped up from his chair. "Now, that's enough! Leave her alone-" His protest was cut short as the other pirate drew his sword on the merchant. "Tsk tsk, we're just trying to offer her steady employment. Though, we get all the benefits- huh? Agh!" The pirate holding onto the young woman's arm began to cackle until he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. The scarlet haired maid had him in a painful vice grip, her nails digging into his skin. He relinquished his grip on her in order to try and pull away and as soon as he did, the woman spun on her heel. Her amber eyes were wild, striking fear into the pirate just before impact. Placing her foot behind his leg, she grabbed his throat and violently slammed him into the ground. "What the hell? Dammit!" The other pirate moved to swing his sword but as soon as his mate was down for the count this maid was already lunging at him. She brought her leg up in a wheelhouse kick against the blunt side of his sword and pinning it to the ground, causing the pirate to hunch over, putting him at the perfect level to receive a hard knee to the side of the head.

The street fell silent, the people's jaws touching the floor. And as if nothing had happened, the young lady who not even 10 seconds ago fiercely put down her would be abductors, turned to the vendor with a sweet smile. "My name is Bel Cleargarden. If you see my brother, please let me know~"

One Piece: The Scarlet Pirates

I thought we'd be forming the crew as we go (of course pretty fast so that no one's waiting to long to be fully participating) or are we already somewhat formed? Cuz you mentioned the flag and made it seem like we're already decently well known.

As for the flag, since most seemed to be based off the captain I was thinking a rose over one eye of the skull and thorn vines wrapping around the whole~

The Scarlet Maid

[ P o s i t i o n ]
Captain

[ B o u n t y ]
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE:

[ A p p e a r a n c e ]
Standing at 5'10", Bel has a mocha complexion complimenting her amber eyes and long scarlet hair. While voluptuous and curvy, her physique is lean and toned. Of course the most odd aspect of her appearance is the maid outfit she wears. Why does she wear it? She likes it~

[ B a c k g r o u n d ]
From about four years old, Bel was raised by wolves. Crazy, right? As far back as she can remember she was left alone in a remote island forest. It's unknown whether her parents abandoned her there, were killed by the wildlife or if it was some other reason. Nevertheless, she would have died if one of wolf packs hadn't taken her in. And she grew up as a wolf cub for next 8 years, even finding a devil fruit, unbeknownst to her, and eating it.

One day, a ship landed on the island. It wasn't a large vessel but the crew was well armed and ended up killing the wolves, all the while one man demanded and cried for them to stop. Bel had been away from the pack, teaching the youngest of the wolves how hunt and had returned at the end of the slaughter. At the sight, she flew into a rage and attacked the crew members, her devil fruit powers out of control. They were caught off guard by the wild child that seemingly came out of nowhere. Despite her nimbleness and feral assault, she really couldn't do much to them. And her devil fruit powers weren't strong enough at the time to do more than inflict shallow cuts on the men. Nearly drowned out by Bel's furious screams and the crews shouts to grab her and put her down, there was still the one man calling for them all to stop. Finally, one the crew members managed to peel her off him and throw her to ground pretty hard, knocking the wind out of her. He pointed his gun at her and fired. However, the shot did not hit her but rather the shoulder of the elder man that had thrown himself in front of her. The man was an archaeologist who had hired the crew to take him out to sea for research. He had demanded they not kill anything without proper cause as he wanted to study any new species he came across. Unfortunately, they were to paranoid and trigger happy or he was too naive. Either way, it was Bel's misfortune. And so, he decided to take her and wolf cub she had been out with home with him.

The elder man's name was Solomon Cleargarden. He was a wealthy widower and his own kids had all grown up and left home. He decided to name the wild girl Bel Cleargarden and treat her as his own. She was quite defiant and feral from the start. It a whole year for him to gain her trust. He taught her to speak, read, and write. Told her countless stories about his youth as an archaeologist and tales of the sea. About his regrets that he had become too old to go out again, that he was never brave enough to venture to the Grand Line. As Bel became more and more civilized, she got along well with Solomon's maids and even started emulating them, including their attire.

Bel spent 7 years with Solomon and came to see him as her own father. However, he was old and passed away. His estate went to his biological children who offered to let her stay but she had other plans. Solomon's stories over the years had awakened a fascination with the sea in her. She only ever known the forest she was abandoned in and the home Solomon gave her. She wanted to repay him somehow but also go and venture out. Solomon had kept a journal of his adventures from his youth and had always kept a section of it blank with the chapter titled "The Grand Line". So, she decided that she'd fill the pages for him. Bel also decided one other thing. Her own goal and desire. Solomon's journal was his personal treasure and when she fills its pages it will be hers too. So, she'll place it among the greatest treasure the world has ever known, the One Piece.

[ P o s i t i o n ]
With Bel's keen senses and instincts she makes for a excellent tracker, and since she's writing down her experiences in Solomon's journal, she's essentially keeping a log of the crew's adventures.

[ B o u n t y ]
WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE: 15,000,000 BERRIES
A short time after Bel set off on her journey, she got separated from Deldro who had followed the smell of a feast into a marine base that was celebrating the promotion of one of their most beloved officers. Following her own nose to find him, Bel assumed the marine's had captured Deldro and went on a...small rampage through their base. Only to find Deldro running around no worse for wear with a whole roast bird in his jaws and a group of marines on his tail. Once realizing what really happened, Bel attempted to apologize like a proper maid. It didn't go over well and they made their escape. Needless to say, that marine officer was not very forgiving.

[ G o a l ]
Conquer the Grand Line, document her adventures in Solomon's Journal, find the One Piece and place her journal among the greatest treasure in the world.

[ P e r s o n a l i t y ]
An earnest free spirit, Bel loves being at sea. First impressions, while an odd eccentric, she is proper and polite, a model example of a maid. She's excitable and prone to acting before or in spite of common sense is considered. Unassuming and earnest. But don't mistake her demure, oddball appearance for naivety or weakness. When crossed, Bel reveals the wild, savage soul of her beastly origins lurking beneath. She delights in flexing her physical prowess, letting loose the wolf she was raised to be, and having a wild time. Her lust for primal battle is only matched by her lust for adventure.
