Name: Samuel "Samu" Isaia
Epithet: Sea King Hunter, Monster Fisher, Lord of the Storms (all self-styled)
Position: Navigator/helmsman/fisherman/fighter
Race: Human
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Bounty: 0
Appearance: Standing around 6 feet 1 and weighing "only" around 280 pounds, not small but not particularly impressive as far as the world goes, Samu still makes for an imposing man thanks to his outstanding physique. Gifted with a naturally slim midsection coupled with broad shoulders and strong calves, the Sea King Hunter has sculpted his body into something resembling deific statue. His granite slab trunk is matched with powerful, sinewy arms and thick, robust legs which end in burly hands and feet and a log-like neck, all of it chiseled in proportion to his size and frame rather than just bulging out unnaturally.
While his physique looks as though it was designed to provoke envy from other men, the rest of Samu is actually quite grubby and he could only be called handsome in a very rugged way and then only in the best of his days. His olive skin is tanned from exposure to the sun, rough and scarred from a lifetime of dangerous pursuits. His hair is an unkempt, disheveled mop with bushy sideburns, and he sports thick, wild eyebrows and a scruffy, almost comically shaggy stubble. Combined with his sometimes playful, sometimes piercing hazel eyes and his choice of attire, Samu makes for an oddly colorful savage.
Clothing-wise he is typically clad in a bright purple loincloth with golden floral patterns safely wrapped around his nethers and tied up, rather unnecessarily, with a large leather belt which serves to compress his already slim midsection as a weightlifting belt would. For footwear he has tall boot-like sandals (or sandal-like boots) which reach up to beneath his wrapped up knees and which come equipped with leaf-like tassels hanging from their top. On his upper body all he wears are armbands tied around his bulging biceps, which come with matching tassels, though he’s taken to wearing an appropriately dramatic hooded white cloak with holes for the arms that he can discard at a moment’s notice.
Jolly Roger: A sea king skull with a tiny human figure standing on top with arms raised at the center, the usual crossbones replaced by a pair of arms with clenched fists on the upper ends, over a black flag.
Ambition: Explore all of the world’s seas and catch himself the biggest Sea Kings (whichever ones those may be), spend at least one whole fishing season at the Calm Belt, become a legendary fisherman, be known as the deadliest man on the sea, go home and be a family man.

Quirks: Doesn’t wear normal clothes, enjoys dramatic entrances such as casting off his cloak and leaping off of tall things unnecessarily, can often be found posing to showcase his physique, exercises at nearly all times and tends to address people while doing a wrestler’s neck bridge, doesn’t actually know how to use fishing rods or nets or really any sort of actual fishing tool.
Personality: Samu marches to beat of his own drum. A merry man, fond of living a life full of excitement and action, he values personal freedom to a tremendous degree and is fairly easy to get along with as he is giving, loyal, honest and straightforward; seeing greed, deceit and treachery as marks of weakness. On the other hand, he’s also insane. Samu is obsessed with strength, self reliance and growth primarily on a physical level and holds ideals for manliness in extremely high regard. He is unyielding, headstrong and confident to the point of extreme arrogance, he never backs away from any challenge and actively seeks new ones out to test and improve himself and he and takes everything on in straight clashes.
His worldview is that strength and power rule all and that everyone should at all times strive to be ever greater than they are. He relishes the freedom necessary for such a growth and will readily help others to attain it, just as long as they actually put the effort to grow themselves. He is rather harsh towards those who could stand for themselves but don't and expect others to do it for them, believing that over-reliance on others is another path to subjugation. As he has taken on life relying on nothing but his own body, he is dismissive of devil fruits and actively antagonistic towards those who feel some kind of social position makes them intrinsically superior to others.
History:To understand Samuel Isaia it’s necessary to explain the Viamai Islands of South Blue and the simple way to do that is to say they’re a beautiful hellhole where only the strong survive.
Skills and Abilities: -Navigator: Samu is actually something of a skilled navigator and helmsman despite his quirks, apparent oafishness and clear lack of studies on the actual science behind navigation and weather patterns. He refers to this as "The Call of the Sea".
-Gifted body: Much like Bobby Funk, Samu has always been a hardy lad with impressive physical talents, and this is magnified by the fact that he has cultivated his gifts obsessively and continuously strives to reach new heights. As he relies entirely on his body with no flashy super techniques (no flaming limbs or magical water manipulation etc) he is monstrously capable in this field, built tougher than the bastard child of a coffin nail and a two beli steak and capable of exerting tremendous force while retaining a good deal of flexibility and some mobility. His grip, in particular, is disproportionate even for his size, while his legs are powerful and firm even in situations where others would struggle to get any sort of footing.
-Monster wrestler: Samu is used to fighting most anything that gets aggressive with him barehanded and he has gotten quite good at it. In fact, this is how he fishes. No nets, no rods, no hooks, no spears, only physically wrangling sea creatures out and making them into meat. And yes, that includes Sea Kings of course.
-Swimmer: Who the hell enjoys taking a swim in monster-infested waters? Samu Isaia is who, and regularly too. A fishman he is not, but as a (wannabe) paragon of fishermen he has tremendous lung capacity and is quite adept at operating underwater and exerting all that his powerful muscles are worth even with the added resistance and pressure.
-"Shipwright": Putting together a raft counts as making a ship. Employ at your own peril.
Haki: After timeskip maybe.
Gear: None
Fighting Style: Pure aggression, all the time. His fighting style resembles primarily a mixture of sumo and big man pro wrestling, the brawny and brawly type, focused on explosive charges to close distance before violently smashing a body part into the opponent and then never stopping that. Open hand blows, elbows, headbutts, shoulder bumps, even a few chopping kicks, and once you think he’s just some brawler he grabs hold of you for a powerful throw, trip or sweep. He might look brutish and unrefined, but he has an almost instinctive understanding of the intangibles of fighting such as position, posture, leverage and momentum as well as power generation and control. Samu is extremely good at fighting in his seemingly berserker way through any sort of pain and exhaustion and can consistently use this style to drag opponents into a horrible endurance contest and a losing fight with him.
Techniques: I’ll fill these out later but nothing too out of the ordinary. Essentially just actual sumo and wrestling stuff except performed by someone that strangles sea monsters for a living.
