Hi melko, we look pretty good here, I just have a couple notes.

Your backstory right now looks unfinished with the "insert island here" plastered throughout it. You may actually want to insert an island there. Second, the backstory and achievements as they stand can yield you a rank of Lieutenant. Captain starting out is fairly extraordinary. Your logia and achievement help, but Gil's attitude and brand of justice is not conducive to the type of bootlicking you need to do to become a captain so early in your career. You can modify your backstory further if you wish and I can take another look or you can accept a rank of Lieutenant or lower.

Either way, let me know with a reply here when you're done fixing your backstory so I can take another look! Thanks!

[melko]

Personality

---

A complex and complicated Marine. Gil does not fully believe in the concept of good and evil. No one can be fully good and no one can be fully evil, everyone has their reasons for doing what they do, even if that reason is wrong. Actions can be completely good and evil, but not people. He understands that, in the end, all of humankind desires to be free and survive, and believes that no force should undermine the human spirit’s will for survival. In light of this, Gil also believes that just because someone commits a crime doesn’t mean they are evil, and vice versa, just because someone works for the government doesn’t mean they are good. As a marine he believes that it is his duty to “protect the human spirit's will for survival and freedom, against mankind’s selfishness that desires to strip others of their own agency.”

This complex belief in right and wrong, good and evil, culminates in his belief of “Heroic Justice” or “Frontier Justice” which is an odd combination of “Humane justice” and “Lazy justice.” Like Humane Justice, Gil's sense of justice prioritizes the protection of innocent people over the pursuit of criminals. However, similar to Lazy Justice, Gil’s sense of justice does not prioritize the pursuit of justice; believing that people can sort out their own issues and that certain crimes are simply not worth the effort. Instead, Gil’s “Heroic Justice” is centered around the protection of the human spirit's desire for survival and freedom, against the unnatural desire to oppress and destroy the human spirit. Ironically, a form of justice that sometimes goes against the World Governments desire to dominate and oppress. In short, Gil believes that the Marine’s justice should solely be focused on protecting human life and protecting civilians against oppression.

This obviously goes against the Marine’s current sense of justice and the World Government’s policies and ambitions– which has unfortunately caused a lot of inner turmoil– turmoil that Gil struggles to deal with on a daily basis. While he does not seem like it, Gil wants to impress and gain his father’s approval, which for the most part, is dependent on his career as a Marine. Gil will uphold the letter of the law, even if he does not agree with said law. However, Gil is an honorable trickster at heart, and always seeks out loopholes or participates in “malicious compliance.” And in worst case scenarios, when he cannot participate in “malicious compliance” or cannot find a “loophole,” Gil will simply put in minimum effort.

A bit of an eccentric fellow, Gil is generally seen as an “air-headed” and “absent-minded” guy. He is always seen with a friendly or cocky smile plastered against his lips. But the main reason why Gil is considered “air-headed” and “an idiot” is due to his love for pranks and jokes. Even in the heat of battle, Gil is known to “ease the tension” with a joke or two. And in his free time, especially with serious “stiff butts,” he is known to pull stupid pranks. Pranks that can range from putting a whoopie cushion underneath someone’s seat, to filling their office/dorm with balloons, all the way to dropping a bucket filled with sea water on someone's head. In fact, in battle, Gil has been known to pull (or at least try to pull) pranks on his opponents.

His eccentricities don't just stop with a carefree attitude and a love for pranks. Gil is known to be a relatively spiritual person. He reveres nature, often walking around barefooted, and he even holds a strong sense of fate and destiny. When faced with tough decisions, especially decisions with no clear moral answer, Gil would let fate decide. Sometimes this can manifest as Gil simply finding something out in the world, and assigning an outcome based on that other side force. Sometimes this can be with dice, other times it could be something random. Like whether or not a leaf falls on a certain side, or if a bird leaves its nest in x-amount of time.

Appearance

---

Gil is a handsome young man with an androgynous or feminine appearance. He stands about five foot eight inches, and has a slender, lithe build, with long lanky arms and legs. Despite being outside a lot, Gil is relatively pale, paler than a ghost. He also has surprisingly smoothe and soft skin, antlers stemming from his head, and quote on quote “elf-ears.” After a battle on Lilac Island, Gil has a burn scar on his chest and left side of his face.Gil has long hair, really, really long hair, that is a light green in color, and crawls down his back.

His standard outfit while on duty consists of a green striped suit, with the Marine’s “justice” coat draped over his shoulders like a cape. Underneath his suit, Gil can be seen wearing a pink floral pattern button up shirt, with a black tie, and brown dress shoes. However, Gil does not like wearing this outfit, viewing it as too restrictive and tight. Therefore, he usually wears this “uniform” when out on official “mandated” business, social gatherings, or when meeting with important individuals.

On a daily basis, and in his free time, Gil chooses to dress comfortably. He is known to wear a white, iridescent, robe-like tunic, with golden trimming and long open sleeves. Over the tunic, Gil wears a black loose-fitting jump suit, with brown sandals. But, like his more “formal outfit” Gil still wears his Marine’s justice coat over his shoulders.

The fruit resembles both a pineapple and a Cherimoyas. It has a large oval-like body, similar to a pineapple, but green “leaf-shaped” scales like a Cherimoya. Despite the leaf-like shape, the Mori Mori no mi skin is notably rough, with spine-like hairs. Like all devil fruits, the Mori Mori no mi has “tree-shaped” swirls and a brown bonsai tree-shaped stem sprouting from the top. The fruit tastes like a combination of dirt, sour candy, fertilizer, and moss.

Background

}

---

---

The marine known as Gildeory D. Foraoise was born in a small village. The village was located on the densely wooded islets of the Pikt Archipelago, within the south eastern regions. Born into a family of Marines, Gil parents spent most of their time within Fort Connery, close to Piktopia. Due to his parents being busy with their various duties as marines Gil mostly lived with his grandparents.

Now, his grandparents were not marines. In fact, they were carpenters by trade and rugged traditionalist who despised the World Government. They valued the old ways of “wood and iron,” raising Gil to be the same. Growing up, his grandparents told him stories about famous heroes and villains that predated the Marines alliance with the Pikt Archipelago; often ending those stories with saying “those were the good ol’ days, before the World Government’s stinky fingers got ahold of their homeland.”

Gil himself was a bit of an oddball as a kid. He was a trickster, with a love for pranks, a love that his father found to be “unsightly.” You see, Gil was a trouble maker, a mischievous little imp with seemingly no discipline. His father hated this. Eventually, after an incident in which Gil swindled another Marine into eating a “fake devil fruit,” and stole the Mori Mori no mi– Gil’s father finally had enough.

It was time for Gil to grow up.

In order to separate his Gil from his grandfather, and to instill some discipline, Gil was shipped off to Dojo Island for the next three years. His instructor at Dojo Island did have some “success” in taming the notorious trickster. During his time at Dojo Island, Gil’s grandfather would die after a pirate attacked their village. This, for a time, broke Gil’s rebellious nature turning him into a dangerous Marine.

As a Marine, Gil was deemed a “prodigy.” His time in Dojo Island honed his control over his devil fruit, granting him a natural edge against pirates within the North Blue. Still depressed over his grandfather’s death, and thirsting for revenge, Gil did his duty as a Marine diligently. Later on, Gil admittedly said that he “lost himself.”

Even his father remarked that “something was off with Gil.”

While his dad was a little proud at Gil’s hardwork, the rising Marine seemed a bit hollow. During this time in history, Gil D. Foaroise single handedly captured a pirate with a bounty of 5,000,000 beli. Then later, he’d apprehend a pirate with a 6,000,000 beli while out at sea. At last, Gil struggled with feeling “empty” at this time. He felt like his work was passionless, that he was just doing what he was told mindlessly.

Granted, this did allow him to rise through the Marine ranks. But, he often asked himself, to what end? This changed after the events on Lilac Island. A group of pirate,s known as the “Pyro-Manics,” were attacking settlements along the cost of Lilac Island, setting them on fire and burning them to the ground. Gil answered the call to bring these pirates down.

The pirate crew seemed to have been making their way inland, when Gil and his colleagues arrived at Lilac Island. Leaving a trial of death and destruction. The sight of the burned down villages broke his heart, filling him with anger. His anger only intensified when he discovered that the Marines stationed on the island only saved the wealthy families of each village, taking them inland.

Heading inland, Gil, his commander, and his colleagues were ambushed by the “Pyro-Maniacs.” During the assault, Gil nearly died. He had a vision of his grandfather, who pointed out how Gil had become a “machine.” And informed him that he’d lost his way in the world and needed to find it back. To “take heart the defeat, the innocent lives lost, and the fire that ravished the land, and let it rekindle your new growth.”

The Pyro-Manics eventually left the island– for reasons that Gil could not fathom. But the sparks of purpose had been rekindled. The next three months, Gil would track down the Pyro-Manics. Discovering that they the had made a deal with the Commander of the Marine Barracks of Lilac Island. Sharing some of the loot with the Marine Captain, who also, now had the favor of the wealth elite of the island for protecting them.

Gil caught the Pyro-Manics when they returned to Lilac Island. And a massive fight broke out between the Marines and the Pyro-Manic Pirates. Their Captain, worth 10,000,000 beli, and Gil got into a massive fight on Lilac Island. In the end, Gil won the fight, and exposed the corrupt Captain to his superiors. After this ordeal, Gil decided that he needed to find his own brand of justice. He returned to the Pikt Archipelago to spend time with his grandmother, and with her help, developed his unique sense of justice.
