The Navigator profession gives knowledge about reading sea charts, currents and weather, reading the stars for a position and a lot of practical ship knowledge, too. Plotting a course along with the related mathematics, all of these are part of the Navigator's job. Navigators will have the skills to navigate the Grand Line. Anyone travelling the Grand Line without a Navigator will be at the mercy of the moderators in their journeys.

General Appearance: Jack D. Otterbart is a tall, big, muscular man, who towers over most men. When Jack walks into a room he looks incredibly intimidating until he smiles, which he only does in front of people he trusts. Jack is a very confident and commanding individual and it shows when he walks, talks, stands or sits. He stands tall with almost perfect posture to show off his muscular chest and arms. When we walks or runs he is heavy footed and almost stomps the floor as he moves. When he talks he has a very deep voice that almost booms with authority and respect.

When he smiles however he turns from intimidating to lovable. He has thick blonde hair with a thick blonde beard. He has a tattoo on his chest of the word Dona (aka Women) and a tattoo on his left arm, which is a wrap of flowers, the same flower he was given from his wife. Jack's right leg is also wooden, which is a wound he received from a battle when he was young.

The Character
Personality: Yellowbeard's personality is a bit of an oxymoron, his personality is a mix of cruel but also caring; strategic but ignorant. While at times his character looks strong and fearsome, in others he will seem lovable and ridiculous. He also has an extreme thirst for adventure, regularly traveling from place to place. However, he tends to let fate decide things.

Yellowbeard is often very calm, composed, relaxed, easygoing, cheerful, and free-spirited. He also generally disapproves of rules and authority. He values fun, freedom and getting ahead.

Yellowbeard, like others who carry the Will of the D., has a strong belief in fate and the dreams of men.

He has voracious appetite, carefree attitude, competitive and reckless nature, persevering no matter what happens, and huge ambitions to follow his dream of finding the vast treasure and most powerful pirate in the world.

Yellowbeard is almost always seen partying or drinking alcoholic beverages. Rum being his favorite. Jack is usually seen in taverns and bars telling wild stories while people buy him drinks, but his real goal in doing this is to maintain a "spy network" with contacts and to learn as much information as possible.

Despite his selfish nature, he is also genuinely compassionate, caring, sympathetic and empathetic towards his fellow crew members well-being and is willing to take assaults intended for his crew members.

Hometown: Out at Sea (West Blue)- Jack Was Born aboard the pirate ship "the Rouge" and has lived on the seas his whole life.

History: Little is known of Yellowbeard's upbringing or early life, we do know that he was born and grew up aboard the pirate ship "the Rogue" to unknown parents. Which was captain by Henry Robert's and manned by the Avery Pirates. When he was a child all that is known was from day one Jack D. Otterbart was born to be a pirate, and while aboard the Rogue as a deckhand, Robert's quickly discovered Otterbart's abilities as a navigator and took to mentoring him. For some reason Robert's was also able to confide in Jack with information about his past and how he became the captain, while keeping his past hidden from the rest of the crew.

The first true record of Jack is when he was elevated to quartermaster on the very ship he was born and raised on. During the years Henry Robert's starting to become more and more infamous among smaller islands in the West Blue and even the people in the island of Desertia started to become familiar with the Avery Pirates. Henry even added another vessel, though small it was used to be able to dock onto some of the smaller fisherman ports. Yellowbeard was given command of this boat and to recon an area before the rest of the crew ported.

Years went by as Yellowbeard learned to become a ruthless but caring leader under the tutelage of Henry Robert's. He started to gain mass respect from the rest of the Avery Pirates as well. When things couldn't get any better for the Avery Pirates, they started to gain respect and fame from the rest of the world, Henry Robert's was assassinated by an unknown assailant and for unknown reasons.

The Avery Pirates started to quickly disband, but the a few that remand voted Jack as their new captain. His first act as captain was to lead the crew back to Desertia where Henry Robert's was killed and avenge his death. Yellowbeard and his crew sprang onto the island in the darkness of night, and began to round up the small population and interrogate them by any means necessary. While doing this Jack heard a story of a hidden treasure so big that the person who found it would be the richest person in the world.

After searching and searching the endless desert of Desertia he decided to find out more information out at sea and other islands. He also attempted to keep up with the spirit of Henry Robert's but spent more time drinking in caverns to attempt to gather information.

Whilst in port at a small island, Jack began an affair with his true love Lynney Anne, wife of Marine George Lee. After finding out about the relationship, George Lee brought Anne to the Governor of the island, and ordered her to be whipped on charges of adultery. Jack and Lynney escaped to the sea together and the Avery Pirates. They sailed the West Blue for two months as husband and wife.

Meanwhile, Anne met Mary Write, a cross-dressing Skypian woman who had also spent time as pretending to be a man. Not realizing her gender, Yellowbeard welcomed Mary Write aboard his ship to join his crew. Lynney Shortly after started to have feelings for Write, and after some flirtation, Mary revealed her sex to Anne. Jack, becoming jealous of the amount of attention Lynney was giving Mary, threatened to kill Mary until Lynney divulged the secret and he agreed to keep her aboard.

Yellowbeard was not captain for long as he was captured and incarcerated for 20 years for tax evasion although he had terrorized the West Blue in other and worse means the World Government could not pin him down on other charges. When Jack was arrested Lynney and Mary vanished without a trace. While the rest of the crew fully disbanded and joined other ships or new occupations.

While in prison Jack was only able to survive because of the story he told about the vast treasure. While over hearing this the Marines hatched a plot to let him escape and set out for the treasure, so they can claim it for themselves. Yellowbeard's escape was so simple that he practically walked out with no resistance. With the Avery Pirates fully disbanded he has set out to avenge his former Captain's death and to locate the vast treasure, so he can become the richest and most powerful person in the world.

Just warning you now: if you don't take another profession at the start, you'll have to scoop to do so.

"Yellowbeard, like others who carry the Will of the D., has a strong belief in fate and the dreams of men."

The 'Will of D' means absolutely nothing here. Just letting you know.

For Hometown, put [Out at Sea, (Whatever Blue or area you want)]

Rank 1s are meant to be joke techniques or things that don't really do much. The jab can be a rank 2, but the others look to be about 4 to me.

You have a professional trait to use.

Thanks, I know I read about that the D. but I just added that for flavor. I think I made the changes needed and took away The Straight Punch away on my Techniques.

First thing: I'd say lower the hook to 2. I think I may have misread last night or something. rank 4 re for things that are like "slightly more powerful than freeform".

As for your history, I think most of it is fine, but the pirate crew in Yellowbeard's history shouldn't have been world famous. Not even blue famous at your character's level. The character's fame and power in histories are usually based off of the character's level. So as a starter, your crew could be famous throughout a few islands, nothing major though.

Can you expand on General Appearance? Like talk about some facial features, how is posture is, how he walks about / sits and whatnot?

What aml said also means that you won't have NPCs saying "wow, you carry the Will of D?" and whatnot. It's an initial, and while you can keep that flavor text, that's all it ever will be IC.

I'm fine with history since he went to jail and all and since he served his time he probably wouldn't get re-bountied.

Stat Points: 32

Techniques would look a lot better like this:

Yah
Literally Annie

The Gang

On Hiatus

Never Forget

Fighting a seaking and surviving is not cool at your level. No mention in history while I skimmed but remove that part from general appearance or make it something like "big fish".

You can keep the flag though. Bit iffy on the history but eh.
