Plot Threads

The Failure of Marius

SPOILER: Click to show

While trying to make use of his newfound devilfruit powers, Kusatta attacked an army training ground on Marius and would have died, had it not been for the arrival of Leo LeClerc, whom he joined as a first mate afterwards. (70XP)

Founding Of The Shining Pirates

SPOILER: Click to show

After their departure from Marius, Leo and Kusatta met the penguin Brandon and the fisherman Kaito Shun out on the sea. After a short period of mistrust, they founded the Shining Pirates together. Shortly afterwards however, they were attacked by a shark and Kaito and Leo had to fight him off while Kusatta, still incapacitated by the wound he recieved on Marius, wasn't able to do anything. (70XP)

Nuovo Romanum

SPOILER: Click to show

The Day after meeting Kaito, the Crew arrived on Nuovo Romanum. There, they met the doctor Hiroto, the rocker Balder, the fishman Kage and the sniper Hikaru. The army of the Remunum Empire, who was after Kusatta's Ancinet Devil Fruit, confused Balder, who has one as well, with Kusatta and attacked him instead. Luckily, the Crew was there in time to beat the army's agents Captain Thaddeus and his boy Mikah. Unfortunately Thaddeus set off a flare gun that send 2 full army ships to the island to catch the criminals. The Crew split up with Kusatta leading the second group, tasked with gathering supplies (40XP)

Escape from Nuovo Romanum

SPOILER: Click to show

A continuation of Shining Pirates Assemble. Tasked with gathering food, medicine and a ship, Kusatta's group went from store to store to get what they needed. At each store there was another conflict, mainly due to Kusatta's vastly different moral code. On their way they met Poele Ohdora, an old pirate chef who Kusatta immediatly hated. In the end, they got everything they needed, including the ship. On top of that, the events resulted in Kusatta now trusting his crewmates to at least not murder him once they got the chance. Because of the events on Leonard's side of the island, the army let the escape. (120XP)

Bounties & Celebration

SPOILER: Click to show

Two weeks after their departure from Nuovo Romanum, the Shining Pirates had a little party on their new ship.

Combat Information
"I am angry. You do not want me to let it out on you."

Fighting Styles

• Quick Cuts
  Focus: Hit and dodge, Tiny wounds, Exhaustion
  Rank: E
  Description: Kusatta is quick with the dagger and uses a hit and dodge style to slowly inflict dozens of little cuts that hurt the enemy while he dances around him, dodging incoming attacks.
  
  
• Stego Boxing
  Focus: Boxing, Purudake Yari Integration, Powerful Attacks, Tanking
  Rank: D
  Aspects: Blunt Air Projectiles
  Description: Here he relies mostly on his Hybrid Form and uses well placed heavy fists to pummel the enemy to unconsciousness, often using the long spikes on his tail as a quick surprise attack from below when the enemy is only focused on evading his fists at the moment. Since he owns his Purudake Yari, he has integrated the spear into this style, dealing heavy damage with powerful strikes in between heavy punches. He also has developed a taste for transforming mid-attack, combining the speed of his human form with the power of the hybrid stegosaurus. His hybrid dino punches have gotten so powerful that he can even create blunt airprojectiles barehanded.
  

[/ul]
Normal Weapons

• Dagger (Rank 0): A simple dagger he stole from a soldier once when he was a child. After finding his Purudake-Yari he only uses it for cooking purposes or when disarmed
• Purudake Double-Yari  (Rank 2): A piece of Purudake, a rare sort of kind of bamboo that can transform at the press of a button, which has 30cm long blades attached to it on both ends. When collapsed the Purudake part itself is about 15cm long, so it can be used as some sort of dagger with the wooden part as a hilt. The Purudake can be errected by pressing the
  button in the middle.
• Flavor Dial (Rank 0): A dial he found on the ship the Shining Pirates stole on Nuovo Romanum. It is capable of storing and releasing smells and gases.
• Steam Thrower (Rank 2):
  
  SPOILER: Click to show
  {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Steam Thrower: This weapon is shaped like a regular flamethrower, with a big metal tank attached to a long steel tube and a handlebar on top of the tank that can be retracted in or out. It is considerably heavy and can only be actually used when Kusatta is in his Hybrid form. Usually he leaves it back at the ship.
  By holding down a trigger on the left side of the tank, the Steam Thrower can shoot 3 second long thrusts of hot steam at the enemy, both interfering with theirs and Kusattas vision (comparable to the effect of a fire extinguisher) and iflicting burns on enemies that stand within 2 meter range. A point blank thrust to the face would be extremely painfull. Overall the thrusts have a total of around 4 meter range. He found it on the ship the Shining Pirates stole on Nuovo Romanum.

Devil Fruit

[/b] Dino Dino no Mi Modell: Stegosaurus
Rank: D
Aspect: Blunt Air Projectiles
Link: Link
Power: Turns the user into a Stegosaurus Man, capable of turning into a Stegosaurus. This includes:

• Animal Form:
  
  SPOILER: Click to show
  {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}Its body vaguely resembles that of a hippo, it is long and fat and has thick - in comparison to the rest of the body - short legs with big hooves at the end. His head resembles a giraffe's head, but without the horns or ears. In addition, it has a long tail with 3 spikes at the end, that are about 50cm long and very thin.
  On the spine of the Stegosaurus there are big bone-scales lined up that are growing upright out of its back and get progressively larger towards the middle of his body. While those near the top and at the end of the tale are not larger then 15cm, the biggest in the middle is about 60cm in height and width.
  His skin resembles that of a crocodile, but with much less distingushable scales that look like regular skin if one does not see them extremely close up- It is coloured in a brownish-orange with white stripes, similiar to the pattern on clown fishes.
  The whole Animal is about 400 centimeters long (including the tail, which makes up for at least a third) and 200 centimeters in height and weighs 5000 lbs.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Hybrid Form:
  
  SPOILER: Click to show
  {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}In Hybrid Form, his hole body stays the same except for his arms and legs, which have the same thickness as their animal counterpart, but are shaped like human limbs, with normal hands and feet at the end. This way, the user can stand up and walk on 2. Additionally , his neck, while nearly invisible in the animal form, is slightly extendet so he can move his head normally; otherwise he would be forced to stare into the air when standing up. Also, his body is only 300 centimeters long.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Saw Point (Rank 2):
  
  SPOILER: Click to show
  {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}The plates on Kusatta's back are usually about 60cm in height and width in the middle of his body, getting progressively smaller towards the tail and head, where they are only 15cm. On top of that they are very fragile and can be easily broken or cut off, resulting in excrutiating pain on Kusatta's part.
  However when using Saw Point, he turns into his full animal form and his backplates grow exceptionally larger and harder - and sharper. In the middle, they are now about 80cm in height and 100cm in width. They stay more or less the same size towards the head, even though they get a little smaller. Yet on his tail, the size of the plates rapidly reduces, the first one being about 80cm, while the last one near the tip stands at measly 15cm. The spikes usually gracing the tip of his tail also disappear in this form.
  All backplates, including the smaller ones on the tail, are a lot harder than they are usually. They can withstand bullets and regular blunt attacks. Even a skilled swordman would need a cut that would normally cut a big rock in two to harm them.
  In turn, they get even more sensitive. Kusatta is guaranteed to lose conciouss if one of the plates breaks in any way.
  However, the main thing they can do now is cut through bricks. Kusatta can roll up into a ball and push himself forward, becoming a giant rolling buzzsaw running through the street.
  
  
  
  
  
  

[/ul]Techniques

• Stego Stab (Rank 0): In his animal form, he swings his tail at the enemy, stabbing him with the thorns on his tail.
  
  
• Stego Headbutt (Rank 0): In his hybrid form, he headbutts his enemy.
  
  
• Stego Uppercut (Rank 1): In his hybrid form, he smashes the enemy into the air using his tail, piercing him with the thorns and smashing him to the ground again.
  
  
• 3 Cuts (Rank 0): Cuts the enemy in quick succession on non-fatal places on his body, which hurts, but does nothing but unnerve the enemy.
  
  
• Stego Rook (Rank 2): Utilizing the immense muscle strength of his hybrid form, Kusatta swings his tail in the enemy's direction, which hurls a blunt circular shockwave at his target, with a diameter of about 100cm. This air projectile can fly about 5 meters before it dissolves.
  
  
• Stego Bishop (Rank 1): In his light and fast human form, Kusatta charges towards the enemy as fast as he can, holding his elloganted Purudake Yari with both hands. Once he's about 2 meters in front of him, he changes into his hybrid form. As soon as he stands directly in front of the target, he uses both the speed of the charge as well as the strength of his hybrid form to ram the Yari into the enemy's chest.
  
  
• Stego Knight (Rank 1): In his human form, after taking a short run-up, Kusatta uses his ellongated Purudake Yari as a pole vaulting pole to catapult himself into the air. Once he reached the highest point, about 2,5 meters in the air, he does a Salto, transforms into hybrid form and lands safely on his feet. Ideally, the blade of the Yari however will land safely on the enemy's skull and leave a nasty wound.

Character's Story
"But Mister, that Roger, why did he leave it? Why didn't he use it?"

Place of Birth: Romano City, Rem, The Holy Remunun Empire, North Blue

Important People:

• Parents: Kusatta was 5 years old when his parents died from hunger, giving their food to their son. He does not remember them very well, nor does he realize what they did. Thus, he does not really care for them.
   (see Character History).
• Surrogate Parents: He was found on the streets by a lowlife thief-couple who had just as much in life as Kusatta did. He lived with them several years and they tought him their morals, that it was okay to cheat and steal. After they betrayed him, they became the first people he killed (see History). These two influenced him the most in his childhood, mainly giving him the trust issues he has now. After their death, he tried to get along on his own, stealing food when he needed it and sleeping on the streets in dark alleyways and avoided social contacts.
  
• The Old Man: The old man who told him about Roger and the One Piece disappeard out of his life the day they met and probably died by now
• "Grand Pan" Poele Ohdora: On Nouvo Romanum everyone in the crew except Leo met the strange former pirate chef that called himself "Grand Pan" Poele Ohdora. He and Kusatta immediatly developped an initial diskliking of each other. Yet, Poele accidentally (he'd never admit otherwise) gave Kusatta a few tips about food.
  

[/ul]

Crew & Nakama:

• Leo Le Clerc (Captain)
  After the initial distrust, Kusatta sees Leo as an ally he needs to get to where he wants to. At least, this is what he makes himself believe. When Leo is in actual mortal danger, like in the meeting with Kaito, and Kusatta is unable to do anything about it, he instinctevly panics as he is about to lose something important to himself. While Leo is respected as the only one in the crew that would actually be able to fight on par with Kusatta, he is still seen inferior to the mighty Stegosaurus
  
• Brandon the Penguin (Navigator)
  Kusatta has instantly developped a sense of protection for this little guy and is deeply troubled when something happens to the penguin or if the little guy is threatened in any way.
  
• Hiroto Shiaru (Doctor)
  Kusatta has a weird relationship with the crew's doctor. He mostly disagrees with her on moral issues but does not like to get into a fight with her at all and might just be a little afraid of her. That said, he would never admit that to anyone. At the same time, he seems to actually like her, something he hasn't realized himself quite yet.
• Hikaru Shin (Sniper/ Shipwright)
  Hikaru is probably the person Kusatta can relate to the most on the crew. After initial heavy distrust his life was saved by the cold-faced man without any apparent ulterior motives. Since then he has earned Kusatta's trust, even though the two of them might still be at odds sometimes.
  After Hikaru ate his Devil Fruit, he got nothing but internal laughter from Kusatta, who believes that he can only turn in a little ant, which wouldn't be very useful in a fight.
  

[/ul]

Character Goals: He heard about Roger's One Piece and imagines it to be a weapon so powerfull it could blast the current society away that made his life so bad. Yet, his goals are not to establish a better one, but merely to extract revenge.

\o Blab

Lezz get down to beeswax. Got stuffz to do stuffz to fix.

Lets start with traits. For one you've got too many traits, you get two to start with, one from making it to 600 xpz and one as your devil fruit trait. You have a grand total of five by a quick count as you need to get rid of one of them. (you can take cumbersome for free for being large in those forms) Also if you are planning to keep Ancient Power as a trait you need to explain that, its not self-explanatory as traits go. Oh also what the hell is fat form? I assume you mean saw point?

Next I'm going to rule that both the purudake staff and the steam thrower are rank 2 weapons not rank 1 weapons. The purudake staff because it'd classify as an oddity weapon, it is neither normal nor simple because of its ability to extend at the press of a button. The steam thrower is just technologically above what I think would fit at rank 1.

Please make changes accordingly.

Cheers ~

Flame

[Blaka]

So!

As we discussed in the chat a while ago, the traits are correct: 2 Human traits, 1 for the 600XP, 1 Devil Fruit and the required Ancient Power trait. However I did elaborate on all of them. And of course meant Saw Form, he previously had the Fat Form, retconned that.

Weapons have been ranked up and (hopefully correctly) XP values have been changed.

Should be good to go~

[Jade]

*dusts off*

Wowzers, this has been waiting for quite some time now, huh? Well, good news Blaka - it seems you've fixed everything that Flame pointed out as needing work, and a look through of my own hasn't led me to notice any new issues... Which means that Kusatta's good to go once more!
