Personality
Due to some of the tragedies in his life, Bee Bee worries about being abandoned by those he cares about. His general misfit nature leaves him feeling without much of a place to belong. But rather than having trust issues, Bee Bee quickly latches onto new people. He's starry eyed and enthusiastic, but very gullible due to his sheltered upbringing. He'll believe almost anything he's told. Because he's so quick to trust, he's very likely to get burned if those people turn out to be less than trustworthy individuals.

Inhuman Toughness
Your natural tolerance to pain, bulk or armour protects you from damage to an extent, allowing you to persevere through injuries that would cripple or incapacitate anyone else. Just remember, you’re not indestructible!
Inhuman Recovery
Your natural healing allows you to recover from minor and superficial wounds within a few seconds and regain stamina rapidly as well. You can even regenerate organs given the time and life support to substitute for vital organs. You also age more slowly than normal people, but you aren't immortal! If you lose too much blood or take too much damage and don't receive life support, you will die.

Background
One day, a stranger came to a mysterious island that vanished and reappeared in different locations around the Grand Line. The chief of a village that lived on the island and his pregnant wife, Dahlia, welcomed the newcomer. During their visit, Dahlia fell ill with a very bizarre illness that the chief of the village referred to as the curse of their island. The chief told the stranger of a legend that had been passed down through the generations.
A god lived on the island and bestowed upon the villagers great prosperity. However, in exchange for that prosperity, the god would demand sacrifices of the villagers every decade. If the villagers did not pay heed to the god's demands, misfortune would befall the women of the village. The stranger, hearing this, refused to believe it and insisted that they could help the wife of the chief. She agreed and managed to convince her husband to go along with the stranger.
Using strange and bizarre powers alongside medicine, the stranger tended to Dahlia and her unborn son. The chief grew uneasy with this despite the stranger's reassurances that he would make her and their child better than new. The stranger departed after Dahlia's illness seemed to be cured and missed the birth of the now two sons. One was frail and sickly and the other was healthy and robust and sported two devil horns on his head.
As time went on, Bee Bee grew tired of the way his father and the other villagers treated him. He became a loner, often leaving the village on his own to go exploring. Eventually, he even made a secret hideout by the shore to go to if his home life ever became too much. One day, he made up his mind to leave the island and built a raft just to accomplish that goal. He loaded it up with supplies pilfered from his family's pantry and made ready to set sail. Unfortunately, his first few attempts didn't go so well. The misty and rocky shores of Oni Island made it difficult for even experienced navigators to make their way through its waters. His rafts crashed, he went in circles, and lost a lot of supplies, but Bee Bee never gave up. He was going to set sail and get away from his old life.
Undaunted, Bee Bee charted the waters, acquired navigator's tools through a bit of thievery, and made it his mission to figure out just how the waters of the Oni Island worked. However, one day James got curious about where Bee Bee wandered off to day in and day out. So, he followed him and found out about his secret place, stolen supplies and tools, and rafts. James confronted Bee Bee right then and there. Bee Bee told him to go away and hopped on his raft to escape his brother, but James wouldn't let it go. He hung onto the raft as it started to sail away, but got bumped off by the choppy waves. James panicked and started to flounder in the water, screaming for help.
Torn between wanting to help his brother and finally leaving his old life behind, Bee Bee chose to help his brother, jumping into the water after him. He tried to get a hold of the struggling James, but his brother was too scared to listen. He accidentally bashed Bee Bee's head into the side of a rock, stunning the boy. It was then that the villagers appeared on the shores. The boys' father rushed into the choppy waters and pulled them both out. James blamed the misfortune on Bee Bee and pointed out that he had been stealing from the village. Still in shock from the blow, Bee Bee could hardly defend himself.
His father disowned him then and there. As hot tears ran down Bee Bee's cheeks, his father told him the reason why he was cursed with those horns. He explained that his mother had grown very ill during her pregnancy. A strange person had suddenly appeared in the village, claiming that he could cure her illness. His father had known it was a bad idea. In his foolishness and desperation, he had allowed the outsider to perform their black magic. He blamed them, but he also blamed Bee Bee, accusing him of being the reason for his mother's death. Scooping up James, his father and the other villagers turned their backs on him, leaving Bee Bee on the shore all alone to fend for himself. It wasn't fair.
It wasn't fair at all.
