Name: Sakon Yamamoto
Nickname: Sakon
Age: 30
Gender: male
Race: Human
Affiliation: Pirate
Bounty:7,000,000
Profession:
Primary: Carpenter
A Carpenter is someone who makes a living off building things, from mainly but not limited to, wood. With the times being as they are, most carpenters build ships, but there are also those who instead possess the knowledge of making better buildings and such, as well as smaller items that they craft. Carpenters allow the crew to waive their ship maintenance costs. They will also get a 10% discount on any ships or ship upgrades that they buy.

Secondary:Martial Artist
A Martial Artist is someone who specializes in hand-to-hand combat, completely or very close to unarmed. They usually have good insight in the aspects of weight, balance and movement of the body.

Additional Secondary :Merchant
Merchants are fairly charismatic people who are skilled in both bargaining and selling things to others. Their expertise means that they are very knowledgeable of the economy, and deal with all manner of merchandise.

Additional Secondary:Doctor
A Doctor, on a ship or otherwise, gains large medical knowledge. They also get various other related knowledge in terms of poisons, nutrients, animals, anatomy and certain history. Suturing and cleaning wounds, making bandages out of various materials and preparing drugs, is all part of a Doctor's job. Doctors are the only ones capable of healing serious injuries on the crew.

Position: First Mate/ Shipwright/ Merchant.

Hair: Grey, wavy and medium length
Eyes: Blue
Clothing: White shirt, with a brown jacket, with a mustard lining and hood. Baggy olive coloured trousers, which fold into brown leather boots at knee point. Brown leather belt with a golden buckle. A pyramid shaped necklace.

General Appearance:
Sakon, at first glance, looks like an imposing figure, with broad shoulders that taper to his waist. This clean-cut figure is the result of a life of tests and exercises. He has lightly tanned skin, with a smooth complextion.
He has two triangular tattoos on either cheek, because he liked the look of them.
His high forehead is a sign of intelligence, for when fighting, he doesn't want his hair to fly in the way of his eyes.
He chose the clothes he wears because he wanted to make himself look like a proper pirate of old. He comes across as a pirate that honours the old pirate ways, through his clothing. He tries to come across as being calm, but under control.


Sakon Yamamoto


The Character
Personality:

Sakon is a person who enjoys a challenge. Whether that be by building an impressive structure, or fighting a massive person barehanded, Sakon is willing to go the distance.

He likes to enjoy life to the full, and he believes that doing so does more to calm the soul than anything else.

He has an overwhelming tendency to protect those who are helpless, and will fight to keep justice and peace.

He likes to drink, and since leaving his family, has become attached to alcohol. He doesn’t drink to become drunk, but he does drink regularly, and since leaving his family, usually drinks two pints a day.

He considers his friends as family, and tries his best to keep them safe.
The other thing, is that he will not tolerate children to be sold as slaves, to be hit through a form of malice from an adult, or to be arrested.

He dislikes the marines, because they shut down his parent’s dojo, and forced them to live on the sea. He chose to take the way of a pirate, because he wanted the marines to know that the Yamamoto dojo would not be forgotten.

He is greatful to his mother, who taught him the skills of being a carpenter, and also to his father, who taught him the ways of martial arts.

Sakon has two goals. The first is to become the worlds most famous Carpenter. The second is to master The One Finger of Zen Meditation

The One Finger of Zen Meditation


Hometown: Karate Island, South Blue
History:
Sakon was born on Karate Island, in the home of his grandfather, Tennoh J. Yamamoto. His grandfather was one of the masters of Shaolin Kung Fu, and had followed a long line of masters, dating further back than the legendary Straw Hat Pirates, with origins within the first half of the Grand Line era.

His grandfather had taught his father, and his father was to teach Sakon. Such was the tradition of the Yamamoto family. His mother was a practised carpenter, who was well known in the southern blue as a reliable carpenter, worth paying well. The majority of the money was earnt by her, but Sakon's father helped by cutting the wood, with his students by their own hands.

This stretched through to their children, and, when Sakon was born, he was taught how to cut down wood with his bare hands, and also how to build ships.

As Sakon grew up, he was a happy child, and made friends with the other families on Karate Island very easily. And as he was learning the Shaolin Kung Fu style, he found that the art could be used to impress people. There weren’t many kids his age that could do the palm style justice. Most just fell over, or when they pressed their open palms against people, they pushed themselves backwards instead.

Up until the age of ten, Sakon competed in junior tournaments against various other students of shaolin kung fu who claimed to be trained by the best dojo in karate island. Sakon beat each one. His toughness mostly came down to having been taught to use a palm strike to cut down a tree, instead of using a chop maneuver.

When Sakon was around ten years old, his parents announced that his grandfather was going to Karaoke Island in West Blue. Although his parents said he was going to see his mother’s parents who lived at Karaoke Island, the actual reason was that Sakon’s father and grandfather had a titanic argument, which ended in Sakon’s grandad being banished from the island.

They then went on a cruise around the south blue via their family ship, which was built by Sakon's mum's parents, who were also carpenters. After their return, Sakon started to learn about the community on Karate Island, and began making new friends like he had before. But this time, his skills were even more special, and he was considered one of the cool kids on Karate Island. Many kids would come up to him and challenge him to a fight. He would always decline, stating that his art was not for fighting, it was for making ships.

One day, while Sakon was showing some friends that he could chop through wood with his bare hands, a marine challenged him to a fight. Sakon refused, but the marine forced him to fight. Using the shaolin style, he beat the marine soundly.

Unfortunately, the marine was the son of a marine captain, and he got the dojo ordered to be shut down. Sakon’s family never got told why the dojo was closed, and Sakon only had a hunch it was something to do with the marine he fought.
He has kept this secret ever since.

After his parents were forced out to sea, they decided to become pirates, only attacking every marine ship they could find. Sakon’s continued learning delved into tasks including extreme stamina and balance. He was told by his dad that to gain ultimate control of his body, he had to control his balance perfectly, and so set him the task of standing on one leg and not wobbling on the railing of the ship, while it was going through a storm, for two days.

His mother gave him tasks of building complex ship structures that would accomplish specific needs, for example, making a small ship that could use only five cannons, but could fire them in both directions and such.

His two younger sisters, and his younger brother were good fun to play with, but he constantly wanted to catch up with his friends on karate island.

Then, one day, while his family were catching the daily meal from the sea, they pulled up the most unlikely catch. A teenager. How he got there, they did not know, but the instinct within the family was to help this poor kid.

They took him in, and upon learning of his history, told him that he could consider them a part of his family. Sakon got on very well with the new member of his family, and played all manner of games with him. But after a year, his family told him that he had to go to karaoke Island to see how his grandfather was doing. So, at the age of 21, he left the ship as it made port at a local island close to Karaoke Island, and he went to see his grandfather. Upon his return, he found his grandfather gravely ill, and took to his care. For a whole year, Sakon treated his grandfather as best he could, gathering doctors to help him. Finally, with his grandfathers dying words, he had been told that his grandfather had made a mistake by throwing his own family out of his house, and asked for forgiveness.

Sakon gave him his forgiveness, and said he would tell his parents that he made peace with them. He was then given the possession of his grandfather’s house, because he was the only family member who was present at his death. In the end, he hid the deed to the house under the floorboards in the main dojo, and he vowed he would return to gather it sometime.

His journey back home had a rough beginning, getting lost in the blues and running aground on the rocks of Osula 37. While searching for a place to stay, he met Diego, captain of what would be the Black Mist Pirates, and joined him when given a chance to get off the island and to go back home.

While with Diego and a few other followers, he visited Gray Island, but their stay there was momentary, because they were found out to be pirates, and chased out of the island by the marine presence there.
After this, the crew had to go back to Osula 37, but sadly it ended up in the crew splitting ways.

After such, Sakon found a way off the island by stowing on a merchant ship passing by.

Abilities and Possessions
Combat: Sakon fights using various elements from the shaolin kung fu martial art. Within this art, he focuses mainly on palm strikes, and kicks. Sakon is fluid and fast at making and joining his moves, and normally attacks first, expecting the enemy to counterattack, to which he normally has a counterattack to. The attacks that he uses are normally of a circular motion, and the power generated depends on the weight he puts on his feet or how much of his weight he puts behind a punch.

Weaponry: Fists and feet.
Items: Leather gloves. (No bonus to any attack, just simply clothing)

That appearance description gives me no idea of what to expect when I click that spoiler.

Combat tells me nothing. Describe those styles please. Does he focus on quick, weak blows? Slow and powerful ones? Does he dodge and weave until he can hit? Does he ignore his own wounds so he can hit them?

I've made changes to the general appearance, hopefully it is more informative.

I've also written about his combat style within combat

I think Yak meant skin tone, build, and such for appearance.

Not that it's a problem, but you have a free rank 4 buff from your Martial Artist bonus, I'm slightly sure I don't see it in use. So yeah... your call if you want it or not, get back to me and you're good to be flagged.

Just make sure it's labeled that the stat changing tech is from the Martial Art bonus, but that's just a small detail. Add it to your edit log when you add it in.

Your character has been approved.

From here on, you can go find some people to RP with, and start getting into some Storylines.

Make sure you enter the appropriate information into your signature, the details of which can be found here.

Changed Primary profession and have gotten rid of the stat move.
I have edited the story and personality to fit the change from navigator to carpenter, and making martial artist secondary. Added two more skills. Both level 4. so 12 out of 16 TP spent.

This is so I could fit better in crews. I noticed that the setup I had was not particularly useful to crews.
