Bounty: 20,000,000
Occupation: Pirate: Espionage/Assassin
Home Villiage: Tomiz of West Blue
Appearance:
He is a 7'2 fishman with a pallid bluish grey skin. His skin is very thick and durable with tiny, undetectable spines that will minimally harm anyone who touches his skin without a form of protection. His fins are made of a combination of hard and soft cartilage along with webbed membranes that allow them to remain rigid for combat and swimming or fold easily to be out of the way. He has very stark white hair that tends to blend in with the colours of the sea when submerged. His eyes are a deeb bluish green with pupils with a feline quality of heavily dilating when focused giving a false look of innocence or remorse immediately before an attack. His face is quite handsome as fishmen go but his mouth hide a set of endlessly regenerating razor sharp teeth. He also has the ability to unhinge his jaw a bit to hive his teeth a better range. The psi of his bite force increases greatly as his mouth closes. He has a distinctive tattoo from his home tribe on his right bicep.
History
Brasidas was born to a small tribe of fishman bounty hunters of the island Tomis in West Blue, called the Praetorians, who had an agreement with the nearby marine base. They were granted protection and immunity from the marines who would turn a blind eye to their sea stone smuggling ring in exchange for high profile bounties they were capable of bringing in.
Brasidas quickly grew tired of this rigid, task oriented style of hunting and went on to pursue a more spontaneous life. He left his tribe without hard feeling and without looking back. He spent several years in underground blade fighting arenas, winning a reputation as the one of the best fighters with a fixed blade dagger. After winning such a fight with the famous knife fighter from the Demon Horn pirates, he gained the respect of their captain Agave Noriega who has eaten the mythical Zoan cow cow fruit: model Minotaur. The calculating captain determined that it was bet to make an ally of such a dangerous creature.
Brasidas was reluctant to accept the Agave's invitation to become a crew member but he had grown bored of honing his fighting skills on the limited amount of knife fighters that he would encounter without venturing to far. A ship would serve almost as a traveling base that would allow him to branch out with his skills. Agave liberally managed his crew giving them to freedom to pursue their own ambitions as long as they honored their duties to the captain. While in service to the crew, Brasidas became an invaluable reconnoissance unit. His ability to match and exceed the speed of the ship while hidden under the waves and the upper body strength to pull himself onto any sea-faring vessel, moving or not, made for an excessively deadly and tidy assassin.
After showing fierce loyalty by risking his life to rescue his captain from marine custody, he became first division commander of the Demon Horn pirates and had acquired a bounty 20,000,000 Beli bounty on his head. He managed to kill 17 marines during the skirmish and wound one vice admiral which caused a particular stir among the marines thirsty for revenge under the guise of "justice".
The marine base put particular pressure on the Praetorian fishman tribe to bring in their former member Brasidas and offered them more than his bounty as extra incentive. The Paetorians refused to comply and were soon attacked by the marines. Many marines and fishmen were killed in the battle and the few surviving fishmen were slaughtered in the public square of the island.
Brasidas has only recently heard of his tribes destruction but does not yet know that they met their end by refusing to capture him. He has currently asked his captain for leave as he returns to him home in search of answers. His captain allowed him to take the fastest ship in his fleet, the Steel Pledge. Before leaving he felt indifference to both his tribe and the marines. He now feels an incredible since of admiration and loss over his people and feels deep hatred and confusion toward the marines. Brasidas now travels the seas looking for answers and vengeance; tracking those who took their conflict with him out on his entire people. He is well known and respecting in fishman colonies for his fighting, espionage, and assassin skills but does not have a particular loyalty to anyone other than his captain. His profound loss prevented him from harboring any attachment to anyone other than his captain. No one can say what breed of blood lusting insanity will awaken in him when he discovers that his people were murdered while protecting him specifically.
Personality: Brasidas is fairly calm with a heated temper. He never complains but get bored very easily... he is more likely to go out looking for trouble than to sit back and wait for something of interest to occur. He has a wonder lust and refuses to stay in one place for very long. He enjoys the freedom of the seas and is always eager to learn new things. He is very much a loner, and while he trusts his crew, he does not spend a great deal of time with anyone. The fury of his loss is condense into the brutality of his assassin skills.
