FiSt Upgrade + New Trait + Techniques

Etiqueta Essenciais ”Etiquette Essentials”
Focus: Cutlery, Hand-to-Hand, Power Attacks
Class: D
Description:

With utmost grace and elegance, Javier applies hand to hand martial arts and the use of tableware to subdue and eliminate threats to Lady Mina von Grimm. He uses his incredible strength to employ techniques that cripple and disable attackers, or, in extreme cases, kill them.

• Her Butler, Strongest
  
  In the protection of Lady Mina, many things must be taken into account, but one thing that cannot be skimped on is Javier's ability to protect her. As such, he's developed deceptive strength that allows him to break through tough materials and defenses like stone or steel, though he only uses it when absolutely necessary.

Impeccable Dexterity
Fishman Trait, D Class

Javier has trained for innumerable hours to become practically flawless at everything he does. Every small gesture, flick of a knife, and movement is precisely controlled down to the smallest detail. He has no wasted movement, and regularly trains to maintain this impeccable dexterity.

Name: Bala "Bullet"
Fighting Style: Etiqueta Essenciais
Rank: 2
Description:

With incredible dexterity and his Fishman strength, Javier takes a small object, such as a marble or cutlery, and flicks it at an opponent so that it pierces their body with the force of a bullet.

<sup>Hey, Fox!

Well, the jury’s out! Bala is a little too exceptional, even with the Traits supporting it, to fall into Rank 1, and so would probably need to be Rank 2, to bring it in line with similarly exceptional “bullet” Techniques such as Uchimizu and Shigan.</sup>

[Fox]

Very well, Vio! Is this any better?

[Vio]

^{Well, it certainly does! Consider these updates for the butler approved and deducted from the Crew’s XPz pool!}

Fighting Style Fusion!

We're combining Bonny's two Fighting Styles into one! One's D the other is E. No cost, and techniques and transformations are just squished into one.

One Hit Prawn (1HP)
Focus: Devil Fruit, Hand-to-Hand, Screaming
Class: D
Description:

An all out offense sort of fighting style - if you can call it that - Bonny flails wildly while screaming and punching and kicking everything within arms reach with her smasher club claws or kangaroo feet. She also scratches at them, screams, flails, and generally just gets in their face. Bonny fights dirty, so she always takes the cheap shot with maximum aggression and power. When she's calmer, she's also capable of dodging and weaving through attacks with terrifying speed and following up with a devastating counterattack.

Aspect(s):

• Explosive Impacts
  
  Either through sheer rage or unbridled aggression, Bonny has unlocked her species' unique ability to create explosive impacts both in the water and in the via by punching or kicking so fast that the air explodes when she hits her target. this causes a flash of light and heat hotter than the sun for an instant before a shockwave rips through her opponents, stunning if not outright killing them.

Trait Update!

I'm unsure if aquatic animals are eligible for Child of the Sea, so I thought I'd apply here for it. I'd like to drop Amphibious for...

Child of the Sea
Racial Trait
Underwater Breathing & Swim Speed
As a Peacock Mantis Shrimp, Bonny can breathe in both air and water, and is an efficient swimmer. She can perform normal movements even in the crushing depths, which allows her to swim much faster than ordinary creatures in water.

^{Hey, Fox! A simple enough change that we believe is fine for aquatic species of animal, not that it particularly matters in this case. Approved!}
