Appearance: Soren is dressed in a priestly garb and wears an ecclesiastical hat, usually worn by monks from European churches. He also had blonde hair. He wears a sideways eye pendant instead of his skull pendant around his neck. The same eyes are used to decorate the sleeves of his attire. Also he wears earbud style headphones, that blast misc. music. These headphones are adorned with eyes as well.
History: Growing up, the sea was very harsh. It would wash up to the shore of a small village whisking away possessions and people in a flash. Now in this small village, was a particular family. They were average; everything completely average. A father, mother and a small boy named Soren. The father was a marine, the village revered him for his strength. The mother stayed home and tended to things around their place. When the father would leave, poor Soren would wait for him. Damning the sea for taking his father yet again. Day after day the breeze of the ocean swept through his hair as Soren sat; waiting for his beloved father to return. His mother pleaded with him for reason. Yet the boy was stalwart in his stance he had to wait for him. One particular time though, the father didn't return...not a shred of his existence was seen again. His mother told Soren to be reasonable, that the father would return. To not wait so much. It didn't help the case. In time Soren began to resent the sea even more, seeing it sweep away his friends. He hated it seeing it as a great maw with which swallowed up the whole existence of man and crushed it in the depths. One day, in his own stupor trying to find a way to get to his father he happened upon a small old man. This old man stopped Soren as he walked the streets, everyday. For days and days this happened and everytime he stopped, the old man would ask him a question. They varied from his favorite food, to what his name was. Everyday Soren told him.
This continued for years, all through his schooling this little old man whom Soren had only thought to be a crazed begger asked him his name. One day however, the old man had a gift for Soren. For keeping him company all these years, he gave him a fruit. Soren was a bit of a dolt in school and as such did not quite know what a devil fruit was. Yet this was what he was given. Paying no mind, Soren simply ate the fruit without an after thought. That same night, Soren tossed and turned in his bed. His stomach had been killing him. The pain so intense it shot through his whole body in spikes and waves. There was no relief. Finally however he had fallen asleep. Awaking though, he saw his house around him in ruin. Everything around him, completely crushed by some mysterious force but his own bed. As the great ocean wind blew through the debris he saw his mothers blood. Looking to his own hands he saw the same blood on his own. A few passerbys yelled out, cried out, bellowed his deed. Soren had no idea what he had done...one of the nearby peacekeepers from the marina came. Charing at Soren in an attempt to capture the boy, barely seventeen at the time. Putting up his hands in contact with the fist on reflex, the man was crushed almost instantly. Blood poured. Soren looked around, in horror. The smell of the blood mixed with the salt and dulled his senses. The villagers began to yell, scream and clamour his name, "Soren Kafka! Murderer! Murderer!" Soren ran, for his life, for the lives of those around him.
He escaped his home, near that great maw of an ocean. Taking in the world's fruits he soon became dull and jaded all memories of his past were gone. His chain smoking habits came to fruition and his intense disgust for humanity as well. Every person he met, to him, was as worthless as an insect. His cold speech and tense actions gave him quite the reputation, his immense power enabled him to raze entire towns all by himself...quickly the marines even realized the reputation of this man and as such raised his bounty. With each deed he had done to simply survive, he was becoming a wanted man. Never looking back, never making friends, was a point Soren had. People were, afterall, a useless passion to him. Having no time to deal with their trife he simply watched the world burn and laughed in his own sick way. He began to slip into a state of deep solipsistation, seeing everyone and everything around him as simply a figment of his own mind. Existence was a word to Soren that had no weight, this unbearable lightness of being made him even more dangerous. To others, cold blooded. Yet in his own mind this was merely erasing something that just as easily doesn't exist much like his own self.
Personality: Soren is a solipsist, believeing nothing in this world is real and all a figment of his own imagination. Even himself. This ideaology brings him to the status of a cold hearted killer, who would mind killing a figment is his logic. The things he does are simply on instinct; calling it his subconscious creating these situations for him to react. He has a deep feeling of ennui, or general disinterest in everything. This comes from his solipsistic view point, yet it existed in him even when he was a child.
Ship: Law
Ship Flag: The flag of Soren's ship is not atypical jolly roger, instead it is the same eye that adorns his outfit. FItting in with his theme of an all seeing eye.
Devil Fruit: Tokuisei Tokuisei no Mi
Type: Paramecia
Effect: On eatting the Tokuisei Tokuisei no Mi fruit, the user is granted a phoenominal power. The power to control, by placing their hands on a certain object, how gravity effects said object to the point of infinity. Because of the fact that gravity is acting, and compressing on certain objects so hard no other force applies to them such as wind resistance or any other sort of radiant energy. Using this ability one who had eaten the fruit would be able to accelerate mass at very high speeds as well as being able to lift up objects with no limits as long as it touches their hands. The later ability comes into play when the adverse is done, taking away all gravity on an object making it weightless until it is out of the users hands. The user of the fruit is also able to compress, or decompress matter to any shape or size. This would mean, taking a boulder and decreasing it to the size of a pebble to throw at an opponent without changing it's weight or super compressing the air into super dense orbs which can be fired at an enemy with deadly results. By using the ability on themselves, the user is able to fly or levitate in the air as well as moving at incredible speeds. The downside of this fruit comes in the fact that only objects that touch the users hands can be effected when the contact is broken so is the effect of the fruit. The 'part' is considered to be the whole, if someone has their arm grabbed by the user of the fruit they can change the effect of gravity on the entire body. Much the same thing happens when a ship, or other large structure is touched. The larger the object, the more it's gravity can be altered. Larger objects such as ships can be crushed with relative easer due to their large mass, but a human can fight against it given that their body is up to finesse. In the case of weapons or smaller items, they are as well relatively easy to break due to the nature of molecules in metal they would simply bend and compress. Other materials act the same way.
Special Abilities: powers excluding the devil fruit not techniques for example a sword style
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
Crush - By facing his palms toward each other, Soren is able to use the ability of his fruit to cause a high pressure collapse in the area of his palms. This in essence creates a sort of mini black hole. The rip in the air sucks anything infront of Soren, to him. It also absorbs and crushes all projectiles to a singularity. It appears as a black orb between his palms.
Goodbye - Placing his hand on his opponent body Soren can change the effect of gravity on that individual to absolute zero. This allows Soren to throw his opponent a great distance in any direction with relative ease.
Infinite Fist - Training his body and his powers to their fullest Soren has given himself a new reaction. Whenever his fist comes into contact with a substance of person he immedietly turns gravity to infinite. This infinite fist has tremendous bone crushing and internal force by compressing the area hit on impact.
Decompress - A nasty technique mostly used on less powerful foes. Placing his hands close to the area around an enemy's body, Soren can manipulate gravity in the space to cause an immense vacuum. This vacuum greatly decreases air pressure, meaning the blood in an enemy's body would boil at even mild temperatures. The end result is blood escaping from his victim in a large quantity through every pore of their body. However if an enemy is cut in any way, the technique will not be fatal as pressure won't be able to build up in an opponent's body.
Rapid Press - Using his devil fruit ability Soren can compress matter almost instantly. His power is so great that turning a gigantic boulder many times larger than himself, into a small marble like object is a simple feat. Soren can then throw these 'mass marbles' with high accuracy and little problem due to him being able to decrease the way gravity reacts on an object till it leaves his hand.
Cutting Wind - By both compressing and decompressing the air around him at the same time, Soren can make immense shears of 'wind' that fire at his opponents. These wind shears are just as shapr, if not sharper than any blade of wind and due to their high pressure can cut through objects. The wind shears glow a faint blue color. Soren is able to fire these simply by slashing his arm through the air, and can be shot rapidly.
Weapons/Items: None.
Goals: To watch the world burn.
