Character Template [-----] Account Name: StarBarks Basic Character Information Name: Melvin Black Nickname: None Age: 23 Gender: Male Race: Human Affiliation: Pirates Bounty: 3,000,000Achievements: None Profession: Primary: 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. Characters with this profession have access to certain additional traits and may create "Stance" techniques. Secondary:Smith A Smith is a man or woman who makes weapons and tools out of metal. Generally swords, since they fetch the best price, but it is in no way limited to this. Making cannons and parts for inventors is also part of their business, and they also get good knowledge within metallurgy which allows them to make custom materials or mix new ones together. Position: Captain Physical Appearance Height: 6 ft 10 Weight: 169 lbs Hair: Melvin has a medium long, scruffy black center-parting, filled with odd, thick hairs that stick out from the top of his head and cover most of his forehead, reaching down to his jawline, leaving a long narrow gap slightly to the left of his nose. This untamed mane is often swept backwards out of habit. Eyes: A dark midnight color, with a purple tint. Clothing/Accessories: Melvin never really cared about clothing or fashion, as well as appearance overall, as long as the clothing was cheap and in good condition, he would wear it. Usually Melvin would wear a tattered white heavy cuffed trenchcoat, which was at least a size bigger than him, with the initials "M.B”, finely painted in black across his back, which he wears with the upmost pride. Under the coat, he would wear a patchy woven shirt, covered in sweat stains from the neck and a sturdy over-shoulder leather belt with a gleaming sliver buckle that's fastened tightly. Below the waist, Melvin wears olive-colored breeches loosely and is only holded up by a chunky leather belt, and big cuffed boots. General Appearance: At first glance, Melvin would seem to be dangerous, so strangers tend to stay ever so away from Melvin, and they’re right. Matching his personality, he walks with a slight hunched back, like a teenager with a rebel attitude, and Melvin has attitude. His face is very pale compared to his dark ever-growing-hair, which makes his lower face stand out amongst other features. The expression on his face seems to linger around, violence and cockiness seem to be the only feeling he expresses in public. The shape of his face is disfigured, having a nose broken in several places along the bridge, as well as a gaunt jaw. Melvin’s physique is at a fine medium between super buff! To average, but his strength isn’t a main contributing factor to his appearance, so most tend not to notice it when in mid-contact with him. The Character Personality: Melvin is generally a hot-headed, aggressive young adult with a huge ego. Any chance of starting a bar brawl, having a one on one duel, pretty much anything that involves violence is just more training and enjoyment for Melvin. His favourite thing in the world has to be standing up to “the bigger man”, always picking fights he has little chance of winning. Undoubtedly, he loses more brawls than he wins, but success wasn’t Melvin’s aim, he just wanted the thrill of being in an intense conflict, but this doesn’t stop him from being a sore loser. Putting aside thrills, Melvin also enjoys having power, power to crush his fears and hates. When conversing with elders, Melvin becomes very aggressive and rebellious. He hates the thought of somebody being able to tell him what to do, it makes him feel powerless. Melvin has his standards, not harming his elders was one of them, but this doesn’t stop Melvin from hating and causing arguments with everyone who is older than him. In addition, Melvin is a very short-tempered person, most of the arguments he has often lead to violence or worst. Though Melvin hates elders, Melvin surprisingly likes being an elder himself, a role model to the young generation, thus can act so at times. Melvin’s actions are often seen as “cool” and “awesome” by the young, and most children look up to Melvin and his rebellious attitude. When with people to tend to understand him and care for him, he can show a kinder side of him, being supportive to those who try their best, as he does, in their tasks. Those who he gets close to, he would form a brotherly bond between him and the person in question, usually over bardaric actions like winning fights alongside them or a drinking contest. Despite holding a negative opinion to superiors, he can respect those with power, especially what it took to get said power. Hometown: Greensland, South Blue History: Melvin was born and raised on Black Farm, his family farm which is famous for its vast growth in blackberries. Melvin’s mother died giving birth to Melvin himself, so the only parent and role model he had was his father, Mr Black. Unlike Melvin, Mr Black completely lacked confidence and spent most of Melvin’s childhood mourning over the death of his wife and tending to the farm, so Melvin was mostly alone with his thoughts during his childhood. Since other farms were so far away from the Black Farm, and other kids from the farms were too busy working alongside their parents on their own farm, Melvin spent most of his time exercising and running laps around the farm, which Melvin didn’t mind, he tried to look on the brighter side of things: “maybe the others are boring…”, “maybe I’m better off alone…”. With no ambition or passion or any job or to travel, all Melvin could do was live his entire life on the farm. But during one night, Melvin had a thought drop into his mind, a thought that had changed the direction of this life forever. “I can be who I want to be.” Melvin began to think this over and over, he wanted to be someone else, to be someone better, not a farmer, not a waste of space, he wanted to become much more, then his mother’s death wouldn’t have been in vain. But what could Melvin be? All Melvin was good at was exercise… Then it became clear, Melvin would fight his way through the barriers, the problems that would face him, to his new life. By the age of nineteen, Melvin began to pack his belongings and was leaving the farm. As he was walking to the nearest harbour, which his father and pointed the direction of, he began to feel a weight lift off of his shoulders, the burden that had been weighting him down from the beginning: His father, Black Farm, the death of his mother, the loneliness, all seemed to fade away with every step he took closer to the harbour. But as he arrived at the harbour, he was surprised to see others waiting for the boat to arrive, others, wishing to see new places and change their lives. They all boarded the ship docked at harbour, and set sail. Melvin had no set destination; he just wanted to travel, to venture beyond the barriers of the farm. The ship sailed to many islands, but none matched the description his father gave to him of famous places he had been to: Awestralia, The United Teriyaki States and Karate Island. Awestralia, were his father learned the basics of how to grow and tend crops, The United Teriyaki States to visit Melvin’s Aunt, Violet Black, and Karate Island, were Melvin’s father mastered Kaunta, The Black Family’s personal form of martial arts based around countering and disarming. Though Melvin originally planned not to learn any method of combat, he was particularly interested in Kaunta, as well as martial arts in general. Soon after showing in interest in combat, it became his ambition. He wanted to travel to Karate Island, like his father did. Atleast a month of sailing had passed, sailing without a navigator was hard, but eventually reached Melvin’s destination. On the Island, he was able to meet up with his father’s old sensei, which was, by Melvin’s first glance, about ninety five years old. Melvin was surprised to see a man live for so long, but put that thought aside, and asked if he could have any training in the martial arts, Kaunta. The sensei was sceptical at first, why he would want to learn these specific martial arts? What did he want to achieve? But the sensei finally gave in to Melvin, and agreed to give him training, but only if he was able to find a sacred flower, that was very symbolic to the sensei’s religion and beliefs, a Violent Violet. Melvin had ever heard of such a flower, so he was certain it had to be rare, or atleast hard to find, therefore Melvin questioned “why does this have any importance to Kaunta?” The sensei did not respond. he wanted the flower in his possession. After a few minutes of silence, Melvin asked where he could find this flower. Still silence. Melvin gave up his questioning, and began the, in his opinion, pointless search. Though Melvin never admitted it, he in fact hated the sensei. His way of putting cross a point without speaking a word, the way he knew more than him, the way he had to follow his command like a dog, he despised it. Nevertheless, he went in search for this flower. It took months of venturing through the Island and Melvin became angrier with every day that passed. He became more aggressive, and before he knew it, his personality had changed completely. He became Hot-headed, and violent, yelling at civilians as he walked paths and challenging passing pirates to fist fights, becoming over-confident. Though he lacked the effort or stamina, he was determined to find this flower, and did so in turn. When returning to the sensei’s dojo, he was interrupted by the sensei’s assistant, bringing grave news of the sensei’s death. Melvin was shocked! He knew the sensei was old, but he was unaware that the sensei was on the verge of death. He was concerned for what he would do now, how he would become stronger, how he would learn Kaunta. Then he thought to himself: “I could make my own style, one that was stronger and more effective than any other.” During this brief thought, the sensei's assistant presented Melvin with a opened, gold gilded, box, within it lied a Devil Fruit. The assistant explained that this was subject of the will left behind by the sensei, to Melvin. Confused as to why he deserved it, yet happy none the less; with it, he'd be a wolf among sheep. Biting into the rotten thing, Melvin's taster buds were tortured by the fruit, but he stormed through it, his eyes set on becoming stronger. Before he knew it, he had attianed the powers of the devil... He began to research and learn other martial arts on the Island, from the basics to the complex, to offensive to defensive, and everything between. He became obsessed about it, about perfecting his fighting style, creating new techniques and stances. Then Melvin decided to travel, but he needed a way of navigation. He started to read books on the basics of navigation, then on to more advanced knowledge. After mastering Martial arts and navigation, he decided he still need to get stronger, and he knew the perfect place to go: The Grand Line. Abilities and Possessions Combat: In combat, Melvin uses slides and twists within combat to land fast, sharp, strong punches. This fluid battle style that Melvin calls: "Drunken boxing", utilizes his influence under alcohol and his boxing skills... "boxing" being vaguely defined within his mind, this usually involves moves that have some form of punching in them. This fighting style tends to be layed-back style, where Melvin goes with the flow of combat to try to counter the enemy. Items: The power of friendship!!!

God Dammit Melvin Beli is 37,000,000 You can't put more than half your tp into one stat, so Stamina will be lower Please note which Super Sense you've chosen in the trait Drunken Flail should list power as 10, as you've got to pay 4 power for short range (list that in effects too (-4 Short Range)) Stealing ideas from Samson though, we need to get these guys to meet again |
