BLAKE CRYSTALHUMAN, MALE, 22, fighter,
thriller bark
OCCUPATIONBounty Hunter - Blake has reason to take his hand at being a bounty hunter. Blake is looking for one person that had ruined his life and covered it with rage and blood. Being a man of peace, he had never wanted to kill or fight, only teach the lesser man the way of protecting ones self against others. This has been the rule to follow for the men of his family, but he was forced to break it. One man, pirate or marine, had done the worst deed possible and Blake is searching for him.
APPEARANCE
physical appearance
Blake has a very lightly built physical stature, at about 5'10" and 146 pounds he isn't very big. He has a slim stature, skinny arms and legs with a lightly built stomach area. He has lightly broad shoulders drooping down at times. He has a very smooth face, with a small nose, rounded eyes, and shaggy brown hair. His hair is very unkempt and will easily flop around in the wind or when a hand is run through. Sometimes his hair will stick up after an uncomfortable rest, but it usually stays flat.
His most revering feature, is that of his piercing, yet dull red eyes. He has a tattoo of his family emblem on the top of his right hand of purple symmetrical proportions (each opposite duo of sides look the same). As an ambidextrous individual, Blake has small blisters, cuts, and bruises on both of his arms due to constant blade practice with both hands.
clothing style
Living constantly in the hellish conditions of Thriller Bark, Blake has thrived to attract the least attention and hide himself to secrecy. There was no one to trust in Thriller Bark and even Blake knew it. As per the condition, he dresses himself very lightly at all times unless the weather conditions demand it. At regular, he usually dresses himself like a school boy, but with a very demeaning twist. He has a suit and tie with partial gold outlining on the blazer. All over this he usually has a black coat shrouding around him, the coat is locked on to his shoulders and hangs on to him.
At other times, he has his regular suit and tie, but takes off the coat and has a thick red scarf wrapped around his neck loosely. He puts up his scarf around his mouth to cover him up when he doesn't want to attract any unwanted attraction. He usually has black pants on, but sometimes will get khakis if he is feeling it. When he doesn't or can't wear his suit, Blake will wear either an unzipped brown leather jacket over a red and white t-shirt with the red scarf or an unzipped black cotton jacket with a white shirt. Depending on the conditions he might change his style, but he will usually stay with his 'man in black/brown' style.
PERSONALITY
Blake's family emblem, carved into his right hand has always been his reminder that he will always be who he is. A fighter. Even at his young age, the fighter has to carry the burden of many worlds on his shoulders. This has shaped him to be a very mature, serious man taking in all of his options before choosing. Before his betrayal to his family, Blake was a very calm, collected individual who had a pleasing smile and attractive compatibility. He was a self-less individual who never took anything without giving back what he needed to.
However, his blood-filled personality started after he went on his adventure of revenge. This was when, any thought that Blake had was of death and murder, he couldn't do much else at all. Now, Blake has learned to control his rage, but still he isn't the nice, care giving person he was in the past. He is a very so-so person at this point, always looking to find his enemy but trying to calm himself down so that he won't be blinded by his rage in the future.
Blake doesn't talk too much, he tries to get along with others, but ends with failure most of the time. Uncertain what he wants, the fighter is in a lost circle, killing and trying to get to know people but not wanting to much attention in the end. Blake is like a lost puppy, no where to go, a goal ahead, and a will to become what he was before. He still retains some of his past qualities, like his calm, quick-thinking self but gained some bad qualities like stubbornness and the feelings that come with loneliness.
Craving for love and acceptance, Blake has become very desperate and his inner walls are being shattered to the point of crumbling. He can't express his emotions very well and thrives for the least attention possible on the outside. His dangerous look is what makes this easy but sometimes it is just the opposite.
HISTORY
Born August fourth in the Illusia Kingdom, Blake was born into a rich family with a rich history. History in success and not just that, but also mainly in fighting. Blake's parents Blake Sr. and Julie Crystal were both very rich and Blake's father Blake Sr. was a renowned swordsman all over the land. A happy, mature child, Blake had one sister that he loved with all his heart and would do anything for. She loved him back, but there was always something that stopped them. Jealousy. As a girl, his sister Julia had little to name or worth in the vast Crystal family. She particularly despised her brother Blake because he was the first born male and had all the power.
Blake was a skilled swordsman and by the age of eleven he was already practicing with adults. The Crystal family specialized in either giant swords or powerful weapons like the mace, hammer, or axe. At the age of fifteen, Blake graduated from the family-owned dojo with honors. This was when it all started. His sister grew even more distant to the family and was almost never anywhere Blake was. She had no known talents in swordsmanship, cooking, archery, etc. She had nothing that could get her recognized and she agonized the fact with burning eyes.
At a local swordsmanship competition, Blake had won his first great sword, Pansa and was given even more power, in his sister's eyes. His parents loved Blake dearly, but the more they loved him, the more Julia didn't. The careless Blake didn't notice the resentment from Julia and kept on winning and winning. He was well known through out the Kingdom, but there was an uneasy feeling inside of him when he became eighteen.
The Crystal family had gone into chaos when Julie, Blake's mom met with a fatal accident and lost her life. Blake Sr. retired weeks after she died and he handed over all responsibilities to Blake. Sourly, he had to deny the offer to continue fighting in competitions. This was the first that he took against his father. Living the Crystal Family without a head, Blake was given a sour look by everyone, but was still accepted. This crossed the line with Julia. She didn't like how he broke the number one law and betrayed the trust of his family and yet he was still accepted. Only because he had talent, unlike her.
When Blake turned twenty, he heard devastating news. Julia had been murdered, supposedly by a bandit or an assassin from an enemy family. It was told to him that she was brutally murdered in the outskirts and her body was never found again. Blake was devastated to an enormous level that someone had killed her sister. However, his family didn't care at all that Julia died and Blake Sr. wouldn't allow Blake to go and search for the killer of his sister.
Blake needed to get banished so he could search for the killer, but he couldn't do anything to disobey orders from his elders, but finally he found a way, he had to become a thief. The fighter had stopped fighting, but no one cared and they let him be. So he tore the final straw, he took the cursed weapon of the Crystal family, Kessho and had left the Kingdom to search for the killer. Blake made his way into Thriller Bark and lived there killing pirates, looking for info. He wouldn't stop till he found the killer.
As soon as the Crystal family heard about the treason by Blake, he was immediately banished from the family and was named a traitor to his kind. Blake Sr. wasn't worried about his son going out into the blue, but he was more worried about Kessho killing Blake.
INVENTORY
WEAPONS
Kessho
Length: 75 in (6 feet 3 inches)
Weight: 23 lbs
Description: A sleek, slightly curved long sword, Kessho is taller than Blake by about two inches. The blade has a long handle to fit two hands easily if needed, but the weapon is light enough for just one hand. This weapon was cursed and bound by his family to the depth of hell as it crushes the life of whoever uses the weapon slowly and painfully. The blade is colored like a blueish purple crystal as per say its name sake, but it is said there is another worse reason for that. The long blade is very sharp and as such has to be covered at all times by a thin wrapping. It hangs vertically on his back but it doesn't hit the ground.
Curse
People don't call this blade the cursed blade for no reason, Blake's family had stored this blade away for this very reason. When this blade is used in combat, blue crystal shall start spreading from his right hand and up all the way through his body slowly. This curse has many effects that may start and will steadily increase as the crystals rise throughout. When the handle is gripped and power is exerted the sequence shall start. The curse will slowly start with light pain in the crystallized area, slight dizziness, slight numbness, increased emotional response, and hallucinations at times.
The effects will increase slowly as the crystal spreads. However, on the flip side, combat instincts rise, strength increases, speed increases, and overall combat ability rises as the curse increases. The only problem except all that is that the said user will have an increased thirst for blood to an extent to kill anything at anytime. The crystal will increase throughout the body faster if abilities are used that tire out the body.
This curse can be stopped by forcibly crushing the crystal where the fighting ability will vanish but the negative effects will stay for about half an hour, but will decrease to a regular amount. The other way to stop the curse is by waiting for it to fill the body with crystal where you will black out. After the curse is finished, the sword cannot be used for 2 hours approx.
Pansa
Length: 80in (6 feet 8 inches)
Weight: 30 lbs
Description: The Pansa, the double bladed claymore that is one of the largest weapons and for its size, very light. The is a regular claymore that can be used one handed but the power of the swing is increased with two hands like always. The sword is very sharp and has a compartment right above the handle to carry something small like a vial or piece of paper. The weapon is vertically placed on his back like the other and does not hit the ground.
