Home Village/Ocean: Grandline

Appearance: Griffin is around 5'10" and around 160lbs. He has black unkept hair with red stripes, and has grey eyes. He is always wearing some sort of jacket with a fur lining on the color. He is nearly always smoking cigarette's and is a chain smoker.


History: Born in the Grandline on a fabled Kurgai Island, a once peacefull kingdom. He was born to a mistress of one of the local lords and after his birth his mother was given a place to work in the mansion that was Griffin's father where he could look after both of them in secret. Though in reality Issak's father kept the two of them close because Issak's mother was the most skilled doctor on the island and he was prone to assassination attempts. Which having her close by saved his life many times, and Issak was useful for assassins were less likely to attack him with him nearby. Griffin as a child was known to be very adventerious and innocent, with not a care in the world and allways finding ways to stress out his parents when he ended up stuck somewhere that he probably should of been or caught in the mansion in the town he lived in. Though even wile he was growing up even he could sense the tension growing on the island itself and knew that it was only a matter of time before war broke out, though his innocence protected him somewhat. When Griffin's became a teen he began to have thoughts of being outside of the island, sailing the sea and having one adventure after another and find the end of the grandline. Following in his mothers footsteps he began learning medicine, for it was the only profession that he was even able to begin learning. Over the years he became a very good doctors assistant. Though his dreams would be eventually cut short or rather put off for the growing tensions on the island eventually broke out in a full scale war.

Despite the rather large scale of the war it was over rather quickly, Griffin's could remember the sight of enemy troops fighting there way inside of his fathers mansion. Slaughtering there way though the building and eventully killing his father, despite his age he was one of the many that took up arms in order to fight off the enemy. Though most of the time he was occupied helping many of the islands doctors still loyal to the crown at the hospital. Though dispite thier efforts the war eventually enfulged the whole kingdom and it fell, those that were left on the island decided to leave thier decimated homeland for the outside world. Though on thier way to the coast they were frequantly attacked and slaughtered by the local bandit population. By the time they got to the coast there were only a handfull of them left. Those that were left were battle hardned soldiers along with soen and in order to survive on the outside world they became pirates for all they now knew was battle and set out to become a stronger crew.

Over the next few years Griffin became a more and more skilled doctor as he became older. Though even they could not forsee the horrors that were to come, for one by one each of Griffin's crewmates were killed off by other pirates, marines, disease, and other monsters that roamed the grandline. Slowly each crew memeber that fell took a piece of Griffin's humanity with him for he slowly sank into a depression for not being able to protect any of his crewmates. Untill only himself was left on the ship in some god forsaken island of the Grandline no longer able to stear or move the ship from the countless battles it was in. The island that he found himself on was known as a Night island for it was one of the islands that the sun never shined on and found it devoid of any inteligent life with the only things that were there were carnivorious animals.

It was on this island that after weeks of being on the island that he found a strange fruit, he took a bit out of it and found it to be nothing but the worst thing he ever tasted in his life and discarded the fruit after one bite. Though over time he discovered something strange for he was no longer able to swim and that he could now do strange things with his shadow. Eventually discovering that the horrible tasting fruit that he ate was actually a devil fruit.

By some miracle a marine ship happened to come across the island and Griffin's saw it as a way to get back to the rest of the world. When the marines came to scout the island he used his shadow to move onto the ship then switching places with it. Though he waited until they got near another island before he made his move the marines on it suddenly found a random person on it and he wasn't very nice, Issak killed what was left of the ship and made his way back into the rest of the world. He now plans onto reforming a crew and re-attempt the grandline

Personality: Normally he is a very odd, calculating, deceptive, playful, seeing himself better than anyone else. His usuall cold demeanor allows him to stay completely calm and in control in most situations, and he is not easily surprised or caught off-guard. He is fairly battle hungry and causes more than his share of fights, as being he has a more competative side that most dont usually see. Griff is also highly perceptive, cunning, and analytical. This when combined with his cold demeanor allows him to be fully capable of committing truly abhorrent and inhumane actions without feeling any shred of remorse or hesitation. Though rarely seen he does have a human side, especially towards children or the sick. He also tends to grow close to those he travels for a long time with. He is also, for obvious reasons, a chain smoker for he is nearly never seen without at least 10 packs of cigs and usually allways has one lit.

Devil Fruit: Kage Kage no Mi
Type: Logai
Effect: The Kage Kage no Mi is a Paramecia type Devil Fruit that gives the user the ability to manifest and control shadows as a tangible physical form. The user is also able manifest their own shadow as a semi-liquid physical form. This being is capable of being impervious against conventional attacks. They are then able to control their shadow and make it fight for them in their stead. Their shadow, as a physical manifestation, in that state, is impervious to damage. It is also able to change shape and size depending on the user's wishes. Unlike other Kage Kage users Griffin doesn't focus on creating strong minions rather he focus on creating stronger shadows and manipulation of them themselves. As such any shadow he takes he stores on his own body, with each shadow he gains the stronger his shadows become.

Special Abilities: Superhuman endurance, eye sight.

Learned Techniques:

• Fade Man: Griff causes his shadow to lift off from the ground and fight for him, the shadow itself however does not always take a human form. The shadow itself is much stronger and faster than Griff himself.
  
• Shadow Skulls: Griff's Fade Man breaks apart in to many small skulls which can attack the target by becoming needles and extending at the target.
  
• Fade: A technique in which Griff can swap places with his Fade Man at any time, making it very hard to hit him.
  
• Shadow Spear: Griff's shadow forms and fires/extends itself as a extremely large spear at the target.
  
• Shadow Bullets: Griff's shadow appears behind him vertically and begins firing tiny little shadow spears at the target like a machine gun as fast as bullets.
  
• Dark Master: Griff's implants his shadow into a victim. With it inside, he is able to manipulate the shape of the victim's shadow. When the shadow's shape is changed, the victim's body will be changed too. Griff is able to do this because of the general rule about shadows. It is common knowledge that a shadow will always comply with the body casting it. Because of that, the shadow and the body are always the same shape. By changing the shape of the body's shadow with Soen's powers, the body is forced to match the shape of the shadow. In effect, it's the reverse of a shadow changing shape to match with the body casting it because it is the body that is now transforming to match the shape of the shadow it is casting.
  
• Dark Stitching: Griff's is able to use his shadow manipulation abilities to bind wounds or injuries, he can use the shadows to become stitches or even stop internal bleeding. Though this is not a permanent solution and eventually the stitching will fail, instantly if it goes into sea water.
  
• Solar Eclipse: One of Griff's more powerful abilities, Soen will release his captured shadows from his jacket. The shadows will rise up into the air, which most will just think that nothing will happen. Rather the shadows will form a giant circle in front of the sun/moon making a artificial night/Pitch Black. Which boosts the powers of all of Griff's shadow abilities by a significant amount. What most people don't notice right away is that the entire shadow is part of Griff's, meaning that he can manipulate it as he wishes.
  
• Nightfall: Griff's strongest technique, this ability can be used after Solar Eclipse is activated. Once activated Griff will rise up the corners of the giant shadow and create a giant sphere engulfing anything inside. Once done Griff can implode it causing a massive amount of damage to any of his targets inside.
  
• Shade: Griff becomes engulfed in his own and any other shadow he has collected covering his body like a armor harder than steel and turning his eyes red, this form gives him well above superhuman speed and strength. Along with claws, Talons, and a bladed tail. Though the longer he uses it the more strain it puts on his body.
