This name is still under debate. i think it sounds cool though!
OK! before i go on to the big storyline, is that i can edit this and remake it (even if it's tedious)
So here we go!!


A Stormy Sea. That's where it all began. A small island in the northern reaches of West Blue, one man put together a band of pirates. They sailed the seas of West Blue, however they were a curious bunch. It seemed that no matter where they went, they were leaving a trail of freedom and purity. These men and women aboard this ship were extremely powerful, and hearts of gold. They were the Robin Hood of the sea, said the villager of one small town. Throughout their own adventures however, they grew stronger, and ever stronger, and eventually the inevitable happened. The World Government issued a bounty on them. But over time, they grew stronger and stronger, resistant to the will of the Marines and capturing them. Then one day, a government pelican arrived at their ship, carrying a letter. This letter, contained an invitation, for the captain(or first mate) to fill an open spot in the 7 Warlords of the Sea. This pure hearted crew saw this is an excellent invitation, If they were to become part of the warlords, they could easily try and stop the corrupted World Government and Marines from the inside out, however, things don't always go as planned, and eventually be forgotten...

This story takes place years before Luffy's romance dawn, more like when he was just a kid, and around 10-20 years into the pirate era
i think this could be interesting, ill post this and get some response, i know some of you were looking into a revolutionary take to it, so if you have problems with this don't worry about pointing it out!
ill start putting together my character profile (by the way ill be making the first mate, so captain is up for taking!)

Oh, and one more thing before i post, it's that the crew doesn't have to be small, we could even just make a few short summaries on how the core met, and then add in the next few gradually as if they were the first, just because meeting is not the main point of the story!

NO LONGER ACCEPTING PEOPLE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Captain - KennyMan666
Name: Rink "Harmony" Kazai
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Devil fruit: Paramecia type - Harmony fruit

Background: Rink is the only survivor of the pirate crew she was once part of, the Harmony Pirates. They were a fairly average West Blue crew, whose modus operandi was that they were all musicians as well as pirates. After a fierce battle with marines on a stormy night, it was thought that the entire crew had been captured or died in the battle. Rink - 21 years old at the time - had fallen into the sea early during the battle, and was presumed lost by both sides. She was a strong swimmer, though, and managed to get away thanks to a piece of wreckage to stay afloat.

She washed ashore three days later, with nothing to her name but the clothes she was wearing and, wrapped in the Harmony Pirate's flag, one of the ship's treasures - a devil fruit. The fruit had been among the loot from a WG transport ship from the Grand Line, and the box with the fruit also included very brief notes on what kind of fruit it was - it seemed that the research on identifying devil fruits without eating them had just gotten a breakthrough, but . That the fruit had the same name crew was seen as a sign, and it was decreed that the fruit would be given to whoever of the crew that proved themselves to be the most worthy of it. While it normally would have gone to the captain, he was already a devil fruit user - a zoan type, the squirrel fruit.

Rink, knowing she was the only one left, figured herself as the inheritor of the crew's spirit. Thus, she ate the fruit and adopted the nickname Harmony. A few years later, after trying to lead a more normal life, earning her keep as a singer, she realized it was not for her. Thus, she set out to revive the Harmony pirates. She would keep the name and the flag as a monument over her lost friends, but didn't particularly care about maintaining the concept of an all-musician crew.

Appearance: 190 cm tall. Rink has short black hair and wears a black tricorn hart with a golden lining. She has lost her right eye, and thus wears an eyepatch over it. She often wears a white, short-sleeved button-down shirt and a long dark red jacket, but usually wears the jacket as a cape rather than... well, as a jacket. She has what appears to be a steel arm guard on her left forearm. She wears a navy blue knee-length skirt, and a belt with a sword. Normal, white shoes. Frequently smokes a kiseru pipe.

Personality: In her days with the Harmony pirates, she was more upbeat than she is these days. She's become hardened and more rough around the edges, has very little scruples and can be fairly ruthless. However, she has nothing but respect for a strong resolve, and has spared people she could easily have killed just because they were dead set on killing her, even if it meant their own death. Has absolutely no respect or mercy for cowards or traitors, but would not view someone who simply wants to leave the crew as a traitor.
While she is pretty good-looking, any guy taking an interest in her would only end up disappointed, as she's homosexual. She is in no way above being a tease, however.

Devil fruit and fighting style: The Harmony fruit had not been entirely accurately named. What it actually lets Rink do is convert musical harmonies in her direct vicinity into something more solid that she can manipulate. Her standard application of this is by using a tuning fork (she keeps several of them on her at all times), striking her arm guard - specifically made to create a whole range of different tunes, depending on where she strikes it - and doing what can best be described as firing projectiles of concentrated musical waves by swinging the fork while it's still vibrating. One standard strike nets her two "shots", which can be lethal, but generally only if they are fired with such force and aim that they pierce the heart of head. By using different tunes and adding her own voice, she can create other forms of waves for other effects. Thus, she prefers middle distance fighting. She can hold her own in close combat against one or two average opponents, and carries a sword for such situations, but she's not particularly skilled with it.
Additionally, her fruit allows her to voice and hear tunes that are normally outside the range of a normal human.

A few years before that however, the pirate age begun, and as much as Derik did want to set off, he decided against it so he could care for his sickly father. He ended up farming for the next 6 months after that, but then sold the farm. He doesn't even really know how his greedy nature befell upon himself, but he doesn't mind it all that much. Buying a cheap scythe from a nearby island, he then decided that he was to set off, on his own ship, or on someone elses.

Navigator - Steve
Name: Allen ”Wild Dog” Roland
Gender: male
Role: Navigator
Age: 26

Physical specs: 5ft 9in 170lbs “tone” (6ft 0in 200 lbs in hybrid forum “buff”)
(In hyena forum 4ft tall 4.8 ft long 160lbs)

Appearance: His yellow eyes seem to shine from behind his thick brownish black hair. His hair falls haphazardly around his head, just shy of the shoulders. His body is scared from years as a pirate. He has no shirt only an old faded green vest that he keeps unbuttoned and blue jeans that are held up by a rope belt. He has no shoes. In hybrid form he’s covered head to toe in brown fur with black stripes and spots. His face takes on the appearance of a striped hyena, and his teeth turn to fangs. His arms and legs grow larger and longer, his legs change shape as well (like Lucci's legs do) and his hands become clawed.  As a hyena he rather larger covered head to toe in brown fur with black stripes and spots.

Other skills*(at bottom)

DF: Inu-Inu no Mi, Model striped hyena

Combat relevant info: His devil fruit the Inu-Inu no Mi, Model striped hyena grants him all the abilities of a striped hyena. He fights using his claws and fangs in hybrid form; also he’s much faster and stronger in hybrid forum than as a human. In human form he fights using his own style of hand-to-hand combat as well as a few moves that he learned from cap Roland.  In striped hyena and hybrid forms his heightened instincts & aggression make him a savage fighter when in the thick of battle. he may not be as strong in hyena forum but his speed makes up for any lose in strength.

Naturally his heightened senses are a double edged sword, although allowing him to see, hear and, smell anything coming before any human could, the down side to having such heightened senses is any extremely strong smells and some sounds can cripple him.

Background: Allen grew up on Giant Pine Island in the southern part of the south blue. Allen came from a family of loggers, but he dreamed of a life at sea going where the wind would take him. His father would not have any of it and told him he would be a logger just like all the other men in his family. Sadly, a year later his father died when a tree fell on him, a few weeks later his mother died from an illness. Having no other family to turn too Allen had to live in the streets, fighting with other street kids and stealing to scrape by. Until one day a Box washed up on the beach, Allen was the only one around so he took the box up the beach to his hiding place in a shallow cave. Once there he opened the box, it was filled with all kinds of fruits. Allen could not stop smiling; he had not eaten in days. So he grabbed the biggest one and bit down it was bitter, but he would have eaten anything at that point, then suddenly he felt strange thinking it may have been rotten fruit he ran into town, the towns' people were horrified at what they slaw; a hyena running in town asking for help. Someone hit Allen with a rock and then other joined in throwing rocks at him until he ran away. Allen not knowing what to do ran back to his hiding place. There he cowered in the small cave thinking to himself, "I'm just a boy just a boy just a boy" Next thing Allen knows he was himself once more. Allen recalled hearing the marines talking about how people who have strange powers on the grand line, likes being able to change into all kinds of animals and other strange powers. Allen hoped he had eaten one of the "devil fruit". For months Allen trained until he was able to change form with ease, he even found that he could turn into a hyena-man hybrid. He spent the next 4 years training and hunting in the vast woodlands of his home island in hopes that one day he could leave. Then his lucky day came, a pirate crew was hiding from the marines in a small cove on the south side of the island. This was Allen's chance to get off the island, so he snuck on to their ship and hid. while hiding in the box Allen sneezed The captain hearing this turned around and opened the box Allen was hiding in, he turned into the hybrid and tried to attack the pirates but still being young Allen was easily subdued. The captain who had identified himself as Captain Roland (iron hands) said, "Take this thing back to my cabin” the captain, “ I’ll deal with this myself”. Soon after Allen was taken to Captain Roland’s cabin the captain walked in and said, “Well, what do we do with you…” he walked over to the desk in the middle of the room and pulled a bottle of rum. “I could have you killed,” he said “ or I could sell you to the highest bidder, OR you could work for me”he takes a drink from the bottle. “How about, boy?, “I’ll leave it up to you” he said with a smile. Allen not wanting to be killed or sold as a save told Captain Roland he would join him. The captain was pleased to hear this, and told Allen he would work as a deck hand and cabin boy to the crew, Allen’s dream had come true he was a pirate.
The work was hard at first but as he learned how the ship worked the work became easier.  He worked as deckhand for 8 years learning to fight as they raided marines and other pirates, all this work had made Allen much stronger. his time not fighting or working on deck was spent reading charts and maps.  Captain Roland had taken Allen under his wing and adopted him as his son.
(He’s 18 at this point in the story)   As the years past Allen gained title, other pirates as well as the marines started calling him the “The  Wild Dog” but had yet to gain any real bounty, With captain Roland's daily traing Allen could do any task on the ship, be he excelled at navagition. 5 more years past and life was good they, they had freed a few islands from pirates and now governed them, as well as protecting them from other pirates. But one day when fighting off Marine ships Captain Roland had taken a cannon shot to the chest and died, soon after most of the crew was killed or had jumped ship, Allen was the only one left. Allen in a Rage over his fathers death loses himself to his animal side and killed all the marines that were left. Allen covered in blood stood over his fathers body was alone now.  he took one of the small sailboats that they had used to move cargo to and from the ship. But before leaving, he set fire to the ship that had been his home for so many years. Over next year, he spent his time hopping from island to island.

Doctor - Kiyoshi
Name: Markus Flint
Age:25
Height: 5'9
Weight: 148
Weapons: Two short swords and two knives
Appearance: Dark brown short hair that is slightly tussled when he loses his hat.  Markus almost always wears his driver hat however he never seems to get hat hair. He also seems to perpetually sport a light five o'clock shadow around his jaw. He also wears a dark trenchcoat which he does not button up. Underneath that he has a white shirt and black pants with black shoes. Markus has deep hazel eyes. He keeps his two short swords crossing one another strapped to his back. The straps from that hold the swords also create an X around the front of his waist as a kind of belt. In the sleeves of his trenchcoat he also keeps two small knives for quick sharp attacks.

Personality: Markus's father always drilled on thing into him "If you don't even have your word, you are nothing." Markus took it to heart and never went against his word, his promise. He never says promises anything he does not think he can do and always does what he says he will do. This has made him into a "realistic" person and he always looks at things from a calm and logical point of view. It has also made him quite the stubborn man, often getting into arguments with others or running off on his own to fulfill his promise.

Background: Markus was born on a small island in North Blue were he grew up with his father reading him the story of the King of Liars Norland. His father always taught him to value his word more than even his own life. As a doctor he transferred that belief over to his practice and his calm thinking saved many lives the first two years of practice. This did not last however as he soon found out some of his fellow doctors were giving transplants to the highest bidder. Appalled by their behavior, initially Markus turned them into the head of medical but was rebuked and betrayed as the head of medical was the ringleader.

The medical community revoked his license and no one would have anything to do with him any longer. Disheartened but not broken Markus left the island in search of likeminded individuals who would help him stamp such practices. In order to survive in such environments he stayed outskirts to hone his previous combat skills before leaving. He now combines speed, some strength, and precision strikes with blades in order to subdue his opponents and kill his enemies.

Likes: Books, writing, practice (both medical and physical)
Dislikes: Illogical thinking, liars

Mechanic - Silent Echo
Character done. If anything needs changing, let me know.


Name: Miryn Muse (goes by Muse)
Sex: Female
Age: 20
Position: Mechanic/Engineer (could be navi if needed)

Appearance:
    -Long, brown hair with cerulean streaks that tends to hang over the right side of her face and goes behind her ear on the left side
    -Clothing:
        -Bright pink, mostly open light collared shirt
        -Khaki cargo shorts
        -Dark green belt
        -Brown sandals
    -Light brown eyes
    -Other:
        -Long, green compound bow with a sight attached
        -Quiver of arrows horizontally across her back at her waistline

About:
    Miryn was born on a small island to a family in a tribe of natives. She was trained from a young age in archery and soon became quite adept at it. At the age of eight, she discovered a love for mechanical things, and began to find ways to intertwine her two interests.
    The first of these was her bow. She deviated from the standard recurve bows carved and used by her tribe and developed a compound bow of sorts, allowing her to far outshoot the others in her tribe in distance. Soon after this, she built a sight and affixed this to her bow to give her incredible accuracy. Finally happy with her mechanically improved bow, she turned to the arrows. After a year or so, she had developed a coating for arrows that would catch fire upon being fired along a rough surface, which she added to her bow.
    At the age of twelve, her island was hit by a massive storm, wiping several island houses and anyone in them off into the sea, Miryn included. Several years passed, and Miryn returned one night on a small rowboat, looking quite different. Her shorter brown hair was now much longer, almost stomach-length, hanging over the right side of her face and concealing it. Her formerly solid-colored hair now had cerulean streaks running through it, and her formerly happy and carefree attitude had changed to be much quieter, almost dark. She began to go by her last name, Muse, instead of by her first.
    Her skill with the bow had not lessened; in fact, it seemed to have improved quite a bit. She had apparently also developed a new coating for her arrows- a conductive coating that, when fired, would gain a slight charge. By firing these charged arrows upwards, she could cause a rather weak bolt of lightning to hit a target, with average accuracy.
    The other natives began to dislike Miryn; to them, she had abandoned their ways. It wasn't long before the tribe decided to excommunicate her completely, so Miryn set off again in her rowboat, landing on an island where she joined on with a pirate crew...

Personality:
    Generally, Myrin is fairly friendly, though she seems to never show any positive emotions, at least outwardly. Her face seems locked into a perpetual one of slight sadness, and the tone of her voice matches it. She's perfectly fine talking to people, but goes silent and gets somewhat annoyed whenever anyone brings up or asks her about her hair or the seven years she was gone.



Image (excuse the crappy sketch, I did it quickly on a whiteboard..):

Special Techniques:
-Phoenix Tear
Miryn fires an arrow covered in the heat-sensitive coating, creating a flaming arrow as it leaves the bow.

-Seraph Tear
Miryn fires an arrow covered in the conductive coating into the sky above her target, dropping a fairly innacurate and weak lightning bolt somewhere within fifteen feet of her target (approximate power is like getting shocked from a wall outlet. It'd hurt, but not be enough to kill anyone, or really even close).


Likes: Archery, mechanical things, blueberries.
Dislikes: Apparently her past, other archers.

thief - robbamania
Name: Connor Esodoglu ("Eso")
Position: Thief/Powder Monkey/Swab/Cabin Boy
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Background:
Born into a well-to-do family in the Shabondy Archipelago, his father was a low-ranking marine.
Because of the constant presence of the World Nobles, he grew up without much danger or excitement in his life (almost no pirate activity).
To make up for the lack of excitement, at age 10 he started stealing candy from a nearby candy store.
By age 12, he had developed severe kleptomania and recreational shoplifting became his past-time.

When he was 15, his father took him to visit a marine base, with the veiled suggestion that Connor become a marine when he grows up.
Along the tour, he saw a shortsword hanging on the wall (he would later learn that it was a Xiphos) styled shortsword. Having never seen up close a real weapon before, the sword dazzled his eyes.
When he thought no one was looking, he quickly snatched the sword from the wall and slid it under his coat.
However, on his way out of the marine base, a higher ranking officer grinned and said the words "...and son, I'd like my sword back if you please."

That night, his father, who was deeply embarrassed in front of his superior, gave Connor the harshest chastising he had ever received. Connor, however, only heard a few of the words his father was shouting.
Connor was in shock.
This was the first time he has been caught stealing, and was reliving in his mind the event where he thought no one was watching.
Then around midnight when his parents were asleep, he took his father's key and headed towards the marine office.

He easily slipped past the guards into the building and found the sword hanging in the same spot on the wall. After slipping it once more under his coat, he heard footsteps approaching behind him.
Connor ran like he was mad. He dashed out of the building, jumped onto a docked marine ship, and hid and eventually fell asleep. In the morning, the ship had sailed and Connor became a stowaway.
A few weeks later, this ship was attacked by a pirate ship and Connor was captured. He changed his name to "Eso" and was enslaved as a cabin boy on the ship of the Ivory Tusk pirates.
His chance to escape came after a year, and he did so, hiding in a city and taking some of the pirates' treasure with him.
Prior to this story, he has been wandering this city, stealing food, clothes, and money to survive.

Personality:
Soft spoken, but a quick thinker.
Appearance:
5'8'', 120 lbs. Medium length light brown hair. Underdeveloped muscles and soft facial features highlighted by his thin lips and weak chin. Too youthful to be handsome.
Wears a heavy coat to hide his stolen items and his shortsword.
Fighting style:
Not a very good fighter, but possesses quick hands and would use his shortsword should he be unable to run away.

Consultant - Law
Name: Tarius Xavier aka "Tax"
Sex: Male
Age: 63
Position: Consultant

Appearance:
    -Balding with thin gray hair to the side and medium-length hair to the back
    -Wrinkly face
    -5'7
    -Clothing:
        -Wears shades most of the time; switch to thick square-framed glasses when fighting
        -Always wearing a suit with a white dress shirt inside and a bow tie; Dress very business professional
        -Uses an oak cane
    -Dark blue eyes

About:
Back in his prime, he was feared as the deadliest bounty hunter in the West Blue sea. His skills came from both agility and quick wit. He always hit his target. Not much else is known about the man once known as Tax.

Twenty years back, he was lured into a trap. Aiming for his next bounty, instead he walked into a nest full of pissed off pirates. Tax was always a practical man. Two notorious bounties, he is isn't too scared. Five of them, he is willing to try his luck. Ten of them, he is going to walk away. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Although he did put up a fight while he searched for an opportunity to escape, he was eventually bested and beaten to a pulp. When the pirates were done with him, they dumped his body into the ocean, and he was never heard of again. Assumed dead.

Just five years ago, a man carrying the same name (he seems to only refer to himself as Tarius, and not Tax) resurfaced to the public. However, this individual doesn't seem to carry any of the deadly aura that the original Tax once did. He is just an old man, serving as an auditor on marine vessels. He retired shortly afterwards, only to start up a consulting business. He insists that he was never a bounty hunter of any sort. Just a man trying to make end's meet.

Personality:
Tarius is an old man, who is quite talkative when the subject concerns anything but himself. When asked about his past, he makes inconsistent backstories (meaning different one every time, because he forgot what he said the first time around) for himself and refuses to speak any further by making up some excuse or changing the subject. His type of character is like the experienced person who tries to keep the crew grounded and realistic, although he acts very casual most of the time.


Special Techniques:
-Breakdown
As someone is closing in on him, he unexpectedly sidesteps, and does an agile combo consisted of using the cane, multiple kicks with the support of his cane, knees to the jaw using his cane as a boost upward, and a slam or drop with the assistance of the cane.

-Acrobatics
Although he acts very sluggish most of the time, he can scale buildings with the use of his cane as well as go through difficult obstacles with the assistance of his cane.

-Invisible Rush
He dashes forward with the full deadly intent to take on the enemy, only to slip past the enemy and make a run for it. He likes to let the younger people in the crew to do the fighting. At close observation, a split second before going into body contact, he uses his cane to push him off, which then give him enough of a boost to quickly maneuver under, over, to the side, or to block and push away to escape.

-Caneless?
In theory, if he is disarmed, he should absolutely useless.

Likes: Sleeping, sharing his knowledge as a consultant, weapons (an artistic interest)
Dislikes: His past, large crowds of strangers make him nervous


there can be more, and these specific roles dont have to be filled.

Priest - Xioe/Shadowdog
SHADOWDOG
Name: Loki 'Angel' Nerose
Age: 23
Occupation: Priest
Weapon: Pole
Current Location: Tenshi Island
Loki is slightly tanned with a short brown hair that cuts off at his ear and is slightly ruffled. He wears light brown pants that are folded up to his knees, a black short sleeved shirt with a folded collar, and light brown sandals. He has green eyes, is about 5'11, and weighs about 190 pounds.
Fighting Style: Kugatachi
Power:
Quick Switch: He is able to change how he uses his weapon in an instant.
Reflexes: He has increased reflexes that allow him to keep track of multiple enemies attack at once.
Numbers: The training with his parents have given him a higher learning that means he can compute more advanced numbers than most people.
Bio:
Loki grew up into a family of priests and was expected to grow up worshipping his family’s holy gods and all that he created. But, as you probably already guessed, he did, technically. From the time he was able to talk he spent every waking moment in the church, he learned everything that would be needed into a proper priest, a true example of his families unwavering spirit. He lived up to his parents ideas for 16 years until he experienced something that would forever change his life, his own death. It was late at night and he was walking to the store for a shopping run when, suddenly, a man popped out of, seemingly, nowhere with a knife and demanded his money. Loki, ever true to his religion, merely smiled at the man and said. "Sir I know you are having troubled times, but I must beg you to come with me to the temple where I may help you repent and," He reached forward with his hands to lower the mans knife. He unfortunately didn't expect the man to be so crazed and when he reached out the man stabbed him in the stomach. Loki cut off his sentence and reached down in disbelief at the wound in his stomach. "Am I finally going to the promised land? But why now? Why, when I can help so much more on this earth?" Loki glanced at the thief and thought to himself. "Why?"

Loki lost consciousness and woke up 2 days later in some foreign shack; a smiling old man greeted him from across the bed. Loki tried to sit up and was quickly stopped by the old man. Loki realized then how much pain his was still in and barely managed too croak out. "What happened?" "Some thief stabbed you and left you to rot. I somehow got you to my house and performed emergency surgery on you, to tell you the truth, I'm surprised you lived, most men would have died on the way to my house but for you to make it through it all, is nothing short of a miracle. I haven’t seen somebody with as strong of will as you in quite some time." He grinned and grabbed 2 pills, on a bench beside the bed. "Where are my..." Loki started to say, but was quickly shut up as the medicine was forced down his throat. "You need to stay quiet, the people in the village have already issued you dead and your funeral has already passed. I have decided to teach you how to avoid ending up back here, or worse." Loki gave him a questioning look, not wanting to have more medicine shoved down his throat. "I have decided to take you as my disciple and teach you the ways of the staff. He tried to voice his objections but lost his train of thought as the medicine finally did its work.

Loki woke up and didn't see the old man anywhere around room. "I feel bad about this, but I have to get back to the temple." He sat up and was surprised to feel only a ache in his stomach. He walked toward the door and opened it cautiously walking outside he was met with a quick blow to the stomach. Loki gasped in pain and surprise the old man then preceded too use his walking stick to quickly smack his both his knees and his stomach. Loki's legs gave out and he fell to the ground. The old man stamped his sandaled foot onto his head. "And this is what we are going to work on." "I refuse to be your pupil" Loki groaned through the dirt. "Then when you are confronted by this world’s evil again what are you going to do." Came the angry voice of the old man. "I will trust my gods to give me the strength to conquer all challenges, and if I die then I die in their name." "YOU FOOL!" The old man yelled with increased rage, kicking the man’s side. "You should never expect death, whenever someone dies someone else mourns." A small tear appeared in the man’s eye and with a softer voice he said. "And it is a pain I refuse to let somebody experience if I could prevent it." The old man lifted his foot from Loki's head and finally said. "That’s why I will train you, so that you can keep those alive from dying, and keep their loved ones from mourning." Loki stayed silent for a few seconds and said. "I will do more service to god here than I ever could at the temple. I will be your student."

With that last sentence began 3 years of grueling training. One day after a hard day of sparing he asked upfront. "Why do you use a cane? It can barely touch the opponent. Why not a sword or even a spear?" The old man, who he was later, told to call sensei, just smiled his usual smiled and replied. "I use all of those things with just this pole." Loki strained too understand his logic. Sensei stood up and walked towards the training dummy. "When I hold it, it is a sword." He held the sword as he would a sword and slashed at the dummy with enough force to make it crack. "When I sweep it, it is a naginata" He swept the pole and broke through the post holding the dummy. "And when I thrust, it becomes a spear." He said bringing the pole forward stabbing right through the dummy. He pulled it back out and grinned at Loki. “I use the Kugatachi Style. With this style the possibilities of attack are endless.”  Loki was impressed at the sudden display of strength; he had been attacking the dummy for weeks and never even cracked it.  His training majorly consisted of pole training at night and medical training in the day.  Then one day Sensei finally declared him to be ready. "But I haven’t become strong enough yet! I can't even touch your Kugatachi Style."" Loki exclaimed. "But you have learned everything that can be learned within my confines. I have made you your own pole, may you use it to protect those who need protection." Loki took the pole and bowed before his master and said. "I shall use your teachings to wisely Master." Sensei smiled and said. "I am no longer your master, my name is Jishin and may your path be bright." Loki was walked towards the door and with tears running down his face he left the man who he owed his life too.

Loki left on a small boat and ran into a storm which destroyed his ship and left him stranded on a island. The island ended up being one controlled almost completely by pirates. The villagers there were almost completely cut off from the outside world. As Loki approached the village he was confronted with caution and the villagers stayed within their homes. "Please I just want to some supplies and a means to cross into the next island." Loki yelled, hoping that someone would at least explain why everyone was hiding. A child ran out with knife in hand and attempted to stab him in the leg. Loki reacted quickly and used his pole to smack the knife out of the child’s hand. He stepped on the knife, now on the ground, and looked the terrified child in the eyes.  He kneeled down and smiled at the child. "Never use a knife like that, you could kill somebody." The child, a small boy, burst into tears. The other villagers in a frenzy ran out of their houses with makeshift weapons and charged at him, in a obvious attempt to save their child. Loki knew he couldn't disarm them all without hurting them. He abandoned the child and ran out of the village. Later that night he was visited by the child who had attempted to stab him. He told Loki about how their lives were completely run by the 'demons'. It turns out the pirates were able to overcome the village with technology unknown to their primitive civilization. With their cannons and large ship they managed to take over the island and even convince the villagers that they were demons sent to control them. Loki smiled at the child and said. "You tell the villagers that the demons will soon leave village." The child looked uncertain but nevertheless left.

The next day Loki walked towards the beach where the pirate ship was standing proudly. He used the pole as a walking stick and was next to the ship when he yelled. "Pirates, leave now or I shall force your departure!" The pirates were woken up and walked over toward the man who dared to wake them. "Haha, you think you can beat us. The demon crew!" The captain yelled and then grinned at Loki. "Men fire at will, I will use him as another example of our benevolence." One of the cannons was aimed at him and let loose. Loki stared at the barrel of the cannon and heard the hissing of the fuse. "So that’s your answer then." He made a quick leap forward and grabbed onto one of the cannon windows. He leaped into the ship through the window and kicked the cannon upward. There was a huge explosion and a hole was blasted in their deck. During the resulting smoke of the explosion he leapt through the hole in the deck, he looked around and spotted around 16 members in the crew, including the captain. They all carried swords and were slowly recovering from the unexpected explosion. Loki rushed forward and thought of Jishins old teachings. "With a thrust its a spear." He brought the cane forward thrusting it into 5 of the crew members stomachs with enough force for them to fall forward in pain. This gave him a opening and he ran toward a wall on the ship. With his back toward the wall he faced the rest of the crew, who were now approaching him with anger glinting in their eyes. "Now that they can't surround me I have a bigger chance at fighting them off." He thought to himself as he glanced at each of the crew members looking for any hint to what they were going to do next. They brought their swords up and slashed down at him. Loki was surprised to see how slow they were moving. "This is nothing compared to Jishin sensei. When holding a pole it is a long sword." He thought and held the end of the pole the way a man would hold a long sword. He dodged some of the sword and blocked most. "With a sweep it is a Naginata!" He thought sweeping the pole downward knocking another 5 men off their feet. He rushed past the last 5 members who were preparing for a counterattack and rushed towards the terrified captain. Loki knocked away the man’s shaking sword and grabbed him by the throat lifting him in the air. "You will leave and never come back to this island and if you do, may the gods show you no mercy on your way to hell." He said trying to sound and intimidating as possible. He punched the captain in the stomach and threw him at the now recovering crew and yelled. "That counts for the rest of you too! I want you to tell everyone that demons are no longer allowed on this island!" He roared and left the ship with a frightened crew not sure what to do next.

The child had been secretly watching the fight from atop a hill in the distance and started running back towards the village to tell how the 'Angel' had managed to defeat the 'Demons and their evil weapon'. The pirate crew did end up leaving the island, with Loki defeating them, they knew that they would at least have a much weaker hold on the, soon to be, rebellious islanders. So Loki had been staying on the island from then on and defending them from any other pirates that rarely came by the island. Loki had been working on creating a chronicle of his adventures and the journal had been coming along pretty nicely. He was attempting to form a village task force that would be able to fight against a pirate attack themselves. Once he did that he would probably leave the island himself. The pirate ships that had been forced away had eventually formed the rumor, from both the islander’s thoughts and his strength, of a angel guarding the island. They took this so far as to call the island Tenshi Island.


ooc I know I kind of cut off his relationship with the temple badly but please bear with me. It’s kind of late and I can't think I a way that would really work. I also am sorry about my appearance; I have always sucked at those. I'm sorry if this is bad, if you see anything really bad with my profile mention it and I will try and correct it.

XIOE
Name : Nasya Nori
Position : Thief, strategist
Occupation : Con-artist / Priest
Age : 24
Appearance : She is mostly seen wearing the robes of various religions and cultures. Her blonde hair is kept short and barley grazes her shoulders but she is most proud of her eyes which are as green as the sea, standing at around 5'6 this gives her a look that takes most peoples minds off what she is really up to.

Bio :

Born on a small Island in the West Blue Nori grew up on, around or in the farms. She grew up fast and soon grew bored of the small Island and everyone knowing each other, there was no escape for her. When a group of priests stopped in on the Island for the harvest service she stowed away on their boat and left to become a member of the church.

Once there her life took a turn for the worse. The priests never accepted her and soon "sent her off into the world", which to Nori took to mean never come back, why arguing against certain beliefs was allowed but proving it wasn't she never understood. Nori was sent into the world at the age of 15 with only a Staff, robes and the good book. But the honey moon period was soon over. After growing tired of always being poor Nori soon fell in with the street kids where she learnt some of the more dirty tricks of her trade, Nori took to becoming a pretty thief but when caught by the marines she turned back to the cloth and was an icon in the prison and soon released after 'finding a new path'.

Nori was now 17 and hated the marines and the inside of a prison. She took to travelling and became a con-artist. Preaching for the masses while at the same time robbing them half blind, she never left them with nothing unless they deserved it. Nori constantly changed her name and no one ever found out, who would suspect a respectable priest of stealing. After about a year of this she had amassed a large saving but had lost the thrill of just stealing for the sake of it and took to helping causes, robbing pirates blind and leaving the riches with some small backwater town who needed supplies brought back the thrill but made her closer to danger.

Nori retired from the world for a while and fell back into the church but after seeing so much grew bored of being civilised and took to wandering the seas on civilian ships staying where she like and doing what she needed to get by and if times grew hard she fell back onto the church for help.

It was on one of her wanderings that she came into contact with pirates in a battle sense rather than just to rob and con them. The transport she was on had been targeted for anything she held including the ship itself. Some young upstart pirate had started to want his own fleet and wasn't willing to pay for them. After knocking three of the boarders unconscious Nori was finally disarmed by the first mate of the pirates and taken to see the captain. He introduced himself as Captain Charles Vane of the Storm Pirates, and was asked to join. Nori joined up with them but under the name Miracle. She was soon trusted by most of the crew as both a Preacher, giving peace to crew and foes alike and with her knowledge of thievery and crime. She quickly rose to the rank of first mate under Captain Vane, but Miracle was now a wanted name but without a face, gaining a small bounty under the Storm Pirates she soon relished the rush of being hunted in every port by marines and bounty hunters alike. It wasn't long before Vane and his fleet decided to leave West Blue and head for the Line and try their luck there. As they left the final port making the run for reverse mountain Nori watched from the dockside slightly soured by the fact that her crew for the past two years had now abandoned her for saying they weren't ready. A week later it was announced that they had been killed in a three was fight between pirates and marines. After the news she left the name Miracle and the Island behind and set off to find another crew.
