History: Callen, during most of his young years, lived in Ohara, the best place in the world to get books about, well, everything!! Well, he's only a child so he thought it would contain everything. Even the secrets of the universere >.> . Anyway, he was born without a mother or a father. His father died long before out of a sickness that no one, apparently, couldn't describe, and his mother died giving birth to him. He was taken in by a man who, almost practically, lived in the Tree of Knowledge. Seeing how fascinated the boy is with history and more, the man "Kenchi", can't help but smile and even though at a young age, started to teach the little tike about all the knowledge he can give him. As soon as the boy was able to read, he started to teach himself more things. Kenchi couldn't been more prouder. He was happy to know that they boy has such interest in the history of man kind. But, what he didn't suspect, is that the boy learned how to read the ponoglyphs. It was an accident of Callen also. He was one day playing with a random toy, something that a random worker gave him, saying something about that he should act like kids his age, though he doesn't know what the person meant by "act like your age". When he was chasing the toy, that somehow ran away, he blinked as he found a secret entrance. Thinking that it would be a lower level of the tree of knowledge, containing more books about many different things, he blinked, and frowned, in disappointment as he saw just a dull, boring, cube-shaped, old looking, huge rock. But, that isn't what contained his attention any longer. It's the symbols what grab his attention the most. He never saw anything like it and cause of how it looks, it gave off a mysterious feeling that Callen couldn't help but be drawn to. At the moment, as he step back from the awesomeness that contained in the rock, he bumped into some parchment..... that shows how to read the ponoglyph. Callen learned how to read it by dusk, when his guardian found him in a shockingly way. Not knowing what the dangers that the boy has gotten himself into, Callen just smiled at Kenshi as if he did the most amazing thing in the world. It is amazing, but that amazing thing, not knowing it, would get himself killed. Callen didn't understand the despairing look that his guardian have on his face as they went home. And to make it even worse; the next day, Callen is walking around the beach, not wanting to bother Kenshi because he looked so sad, and let the man meditate. He doesn't know how meditating works, but it kept his guardian calm. Looking around the beach with a bored expression(in truth, he would go to the Tree of Knowledge but whenever he would mention it, Kenshi made the most pain stricken face so Callen didn't go today), he look to see a chest washed over shore. Being the curious child he is, walked over to the chest and opened it. He was a bit surprise that it wasn't lock cause it looked like a strudy chest that would protect something most important. When he opened it, his head tilted in confusion. Inside was a fruit full of swirls. He didn't know why would anyone protect a fruit....is it a specially delcious fruit? That could be sold for thousands? Tilting his head, he did something to test its worthiness. He took a bite out of it. Come on. If a person would by thousands for this, wouldn't it be fine if he just took a bite of it anyway? When he did, he almost spit it out. BLEGH! How gross!! What person would have in the right mind, would buy this?! A person with their taste buds pulled out, that who. He cauiously pulled it up to his face.
"Callen!!"
Out of being surprised, he accidently shoved the fruit in his mouth... shallowing it on the way.
That day, Callen could've sworn that Kenshi looked as if he's having a heart attack.
During the week of these 'incident' Callen has been trailing his guardian to make sure he doesn't faint or anything, worried at the sleepless eyes his 'dad' has.
At the end of the month, Callen couldn't believe on what Kenshi said. He couldn't tell if he was sad or if he was excited but....
"A Ninja island!?"
His guardian is sending him off to a ninja island to do what? Sure Callen wants to learn more but, he likes it here. There are many books and a lot of friendly people... well, not many friend people. Most of the kids picked on him for being nerdy, and now, a monster, but other than that, he's happy here. The people at the tree of life said he's an amazing archlogist. They just have a celebration about it just last month. The people there are like a family to him. And to learn of his new powers excites him greatly! But he rather want to learn his new powers here at the Island he is born in.
"It'll be a good experience for you.." Said Kenshi with a soft smile.
Callen frowned as he can see the pain in that same smile.
"But I don't get it, I like this place!" Callen exclaimed.
The adventurous part of him is excited but the other part of him, he felt hurt all the sudden. It almost sounded like that Kenshi is him out of Ohara. The bestest place in the whole wide world.
Seeing the expression on Callen's face, Kenshi pulled the child in his arm, making Callen shocked over the....akward gesture. Hey, he always just give Kenshi a high five or a arm lock or something that would look like a ridiclous father and son gesture. A hug, especially when the father is repeatedly saying sorry, is a bit akward, but Callen lean into the embrace, telling his guardian that it was ok. And it was from the beginning.
Callen was finally sent to the "Ninja Island" giving one finally, happy grin to his guardian.
He spent his many years there, training to become the "honorable" and learning the "ninja's way". Even so then, he can't ripe himself out of wanting to know history. Reading books, the current news events, and such.
One day, reading the current news, he almost gape at what he read.
"Kenshi Michis: Arrested and Taken to Imperal Down for Reading the Devil's Stone"
Callen has to rub his eyes several times and pinch himself till he finally believed what he read. His father has be arrested for a stupid crime that isn't even a crime. Crumbling the paper, he made a resolution. Go to Imperal Down and get his father. Seeking out of the school, using his ninja skills of course, he ran away, getting onto his own boat, and started his adventure to the Grand Line... of course, why not stop for a little information?
(Other: He didn't know he have a bounty. Or just either didn't care. How they thought of a kid as a threat is because his father got a picture of him when they arrested Kenshi. ((Kenshi was really beating himself up for this)) Just in case, they put a small bounty on the boy, just in case he gets a bit...to dangerous)
Personality: A carefree personality who just plainly loves to laugh, even at bad times. Can be a bit... oblvious. He knows when to be serious. Callen is what you called a free spirit. He just can't sometimes be contained. And it's hard to contain a hyper 12 year old. He loves to play, mostly prank people but he doesn't do it to just some strangers....ok, maybe he does, but not by that much. He can be easily familar with a person that he met just three minutes ago and accepted them as a friend if they got good qualities. Sometimes a lazy kid, and most of the time, he'll be seen talking to a seagull, which actually got some good dirt, or information about another person, thing, place, etc, or reading a book, too into it to even notice if someone is fighting around him. A brave one at that. Will go into a fight he is not capable of.
Ship: He has a small sail ship. For the moment, called it Leadon. No reason why.
Ship Flag: none
Devil Fruit: Hana Hana no Mi
type: Paramecia
effect: Allows the user to grow extra limbs on any surfaces, including his/her own body.
Special Abilities: Ninja skills (you know, like fading into the shadows, learning how to sneak in or out and such), Ninjutsu.
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
Ichi Lotus: The first technique he did at the ninja school when they told him of his powers. It's only a technique that allows him to bloom one arm.
Ni Lotus: Using two arms instead.
San to Ju go Lotus (3 to 15): As time comes, Callen will learn to use more arms as time come by and such. He is right now only able to use 15.
Flourish:A technique that uses twelve arms that Robin has sprouted. The six arms sprout from around a foe's body and then twists it around
Grapple: Two arms grab an opponent's legs and makes them fall backwards. Two pairs hold the foe up at their back, and a pair grabs his upper body. The pairs at the upper body and legs pull, cracking the foe's back.
Cast: A technique that uses 14 arms that Robin has sprouted. By sprouting 10 arms to hold the opponent still, and 4 from out of her opponent's lower back to hold the ground. Callen can flip the opponent over so that they fall on their head.
Ju go Lotus Grapple: This is the same thing as "Grapples" except it's for using only to restrain a person. and have use for 15 arms.
Inhibit: A technique that uses thirty arms that Callen has sprouted. By sprouting his arms from several enemies' chests he can choke them into submission. This is only used at a last minute resort, if he's surround by too many enemies and can't get himself out. He's not at the point of getting thirty arms out so it will be difficult for him and energy taken.
