Basic Character Information
Name: Nicholas Torregrossa
Nickname: Nicky Knuckles
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Affiliation: Other
Achievements: None
Profession:

 Carpenter  {Primary}
 
A Carpenter is someone who makes a living crafting things such as ships, submarines, buildings and other physical structures with expertise and materials not privy to non-carpenters. Carpenters are the only ones capable of creating ships with techniques. A carpenter is proficient in the use of the tools of their trade as weapons, and have no maximum rank limit for martial techniques involving these tools. Furthermore, carpenters are able to use techniques that enable the rapid construction of basic, temporary structures such as walls, bridges and ladders. Carpenters have access to certain additional traits.


Martial Artist {Secondary}


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.


Inventory {Secondary - 1/2 Jack of All Trades }


An Inventor is a man or woman with knowledge in how various mechanical devices work. They have good insight in how blueprints work, and can upgrade weapons, build gadgets and battle engines if they have enough materials.


Thief {Secondary - 2/2 Jack of All Trades }


The Thief is a job closely related to the assassin. They both provide stealth capabilities, though a Thief gains lockpicking skills instead of poison knowledge, can generally know their way around the ways of barter and trade, and pickpocketing. Thieves don't have it hard to find 'underground info' in most cities, either.
Position: N/A
Physical Appearance
Height: 6'11
Weight: 310lbs
Hair: Nicky has lockes to be envious of, to be sure. His golden-brown hair is naturally straight and lusciously thick, and Nicky has trained it to fall back behind his ears where his bangs can drape over his shoulders and rest of his mane can descend to his shoulder blades.

Growing to compliment his hair is a jagged beard and mustache. The beard comes to a thick point four inches off his chin, and unlike his hair beard is wild and uneven.

Eyes: Nick's eyes are oval-shaped though he rarely has them opened all of the way. As such the typical appearance of them is a rounded diamond. His irides are large and onyx.

Clothing/Accessories: Nicky wears a form-fitting cotton three-quarter-sleeved shirt with the sleeves bunched up below the elbows. Over that he wears a typical biker's leather vest. The vest is currently without patches or design.

His legs are also covered rather basically in form-fitting boot cut jeans. Around his waist is a thick brown leather belt that is worn and aged and adorned with a round iron belt buckle. The belt buckle is engraved with a stylized bull.

Beneath his jeans are his brown leather boots. The boots are simple and sturdy and, like his belt, aged and worn. Around his right wrist is a bracelet of small wooden beads while two thin leather bracelets adorn his left wrist. All three bracelets are loose enough to dangle against his hand or slide up his wrist a few inches, depending on gravity.

Last, but certainly not least, Nicky wears a large, black knit cap that is baggy enough for him to fit his hair in and still sag against the back of his head. When not worn the hat hangs from his back pocket. Also, Nicky often wears black goggle/sunglasses that he otherwise keeps tucked in a pocket in his vest.

General Appearance: Nicky is tall and broad-shouldered with a thicker build than most. He is not overly muscular but he definitely has a powerful frame. One could say he has similar proportions to the average person - long, lean legs, large feet and hands, a thick neck, and big shoulders and chest - and they wouldn't be wrong; Nicky is just in the upper limit of what could be considered normal. He lacks the extreme proportions of the typical high-ranking Marines but he's still a teenager. Give him time.

His jawline is narrow with a rounded chin while his nose is pronounced and pointed, though it is also on the shorter side. Nicky's hairline terminates in a modest widow's peak and his mustache covers his thin upper lip almost entirely.

His skin is fair but tough from his exposure as a carpenter and, aside from tattoos on his fingers, bare of any distinguishing marks.

The tattoos on his fingers spell the word KNUCKLES when both hands are presented, with the first K on his right pinky and the S on his left pinky. His thumbs have no tattoos.

The Character
Personality: Nicky is a good man who's learned not just to survive amongst the bad but to thrive. Spending most of young life in the seedy south of Swift Breeze, Nicky has been exposed to less than savory people and circumstances. However, than completely corrupting him they have shaped him into a bit of an anti-hero.

Fairly pessimistic by nurture and analytical by nature, Nicky has managed to become the contradiction that he is; he can be equal parts idealistic and fatalist as well as charming and frightening and he can do the right thing, or, if the circumstances call for it he can do the wrong thing for the right reason.

Nicky was raised to believe in moral justice rather than absloute justice and still lives by the spirit of those ideals.

Expect this man to be a loyal, steadfast friend and companion or a bitter and determined enemy. He can either dedicate himself to helping you or to hurting you but never will it be out of cruelty.

Hometown: Swift Breeze, South Blue
History: Born the son of a disgraced marine and a well-to-do housewife, Nicky was raised to be an honest, hardworking young man. He was always encouraged in whatever endeavor he pursued no matter how fleeting his obsession may have been. And they were fleeting.

As a youth Nicky was active in sports and hobbies and activities. He dabbled in music and art and anything that engaged his mind, whether it was puzzles or poetry or what have you. His parents did what they could to provide and raise him to be a decent man and for the most part they did a passable job.

They weren't the best; they certainly weren't well-prepared, but the truth of their love and devotion could never be questioned even if they didn't always know how to show it.

For Nicky that meant a very modest upbringing. Lack of funds often got in the way of his "dreams" but, as we've established, those came and went for him.

It wasn't until he was a teenager that Nicky got into engineering. Swift Breeze has been known for its developments in carpentry, shipwrighting, and engineering and it provided the perfect playground for Nicky's mind.

Funding wasn't a big deal. In fact, the more you could do with less the more impressive you were!

Nick spent his formative years developing his knowledge of carpentry and shipwrighting but also indulged his interest in mechanics, physics, and engineering.

When Nicky discovered booze and girls his parents and teachers thought he'd lose whatever focus he had but in his craft he found his lifeline. No matter what kind of bender he went on, no matter how hard he was hit or who he had to repay Nicky never lapsed in his practice and dedication to his craft, which served him well.

Not only did he develop his mind but working with tools all day had a way of hardening a boy into a man. As his teenage years drew to a close Nicky found himself a rough-and-tumble mechanic with a passion for boozing, broads, and bar fights that was surpassed only by his devotion to the honing of his craft and the challenging of his mind.

He now spends his days as a freelance carpenter trying to manipulate and undermine the bigger carpentry companies on Swift Breeze or gambling, fighting, and boozing in Port Baxon.

Abilities and Possessions
Combat: Nicky Knuckles is a slugger. He cut his teeth on brawling in the streets until he was big enough to get into bars. Now, he spends his time in the rowdiest parts of town boozing and womanizing and trading punches. His style might best be compared to dirty boxing. He uses his massive tree-trunk legs to drive his power but all of his form, technique, and devastating strikes come from his iron-like hands.

Expect his strategy to revolve primarily around punching someone or, if necessary, improvising. In the passion of the moment that bar room brawls so often cultivate sometimes you just have to smash a bottle over someone's head, or heave a chair, or in the worst case break out the knuckle-dusters.

As a big, strong man with impressive upper body strength one might even see some grappling if the situation calls for it.

The fun of a brawl is only multiplied if your friends are involved. Frequent participation in massive, chaotic "free-for-all" melees has helped Nicky to navigate - both literally and with his eyes - such situations. He is good at scanning scenes quickly to pick out the one or two friendly faces around.

As one can expect of a slugging brawler Nicky is not super fast or precise. He prefers haymakers that clean your clock to pressure point jabs even if they accomplish the same thing. Expect him to trade more landed punches for more damaging strikes.

Additionally, Nicky has no way off attacking targets he cannot physically touch, whether this be due to range or intangibility, such as with Logia users.

Weaponry: Nicky utilizes two knuckle-dusters. The knuckles are made of iron but are gold in color. They fit over the knuckles like one big five-finger ring and, rather than having normal exaggerated knuckles, terminate in 4 points. The points aren't edged or sharp enough to cut but they do provide smaller areas of contact for his strikes and allow for some blade or weapon trapping between the points.

Description: Originally developed as both a counterattack and a means to engage people shorter than himself, Nicky twists his shoulders the right, bends at waist and knee to lean into a low crouch, takes a half step forward, and then straightens up and unloads a heavy-handed uppercut that puts the full force of his massive body beneath it.

Looks pretty good. Very recently, our Carpenter description changed to:

A Carpenter is someone who makes a living crafting things such as ships, submarines, buildings and other physical structures with expertise and materials not privy to non-carpenters. Carpenters are the only ones capable of creating ships with techniques. A carpenter is proficient in the use of the tools of their trade as weapons, and have no maximum rank limit for martial techniques involving these tools. Furthermore, carpenters are able to use techniques that enable the rapid construction of basic, temporary structures such as walls, bridges and ladders. Carpenters have access to certain additional traits.

Additionally, it's better to organize your traits by whether you spent Profession Trait Points or General Trait Points on them.
Okay, fine, I actually have characters.
