((It took me long enough to make a character to use with this devil fruit.))
Name: Clarisse “Falls” Macabree
Age: 19
Bounty: N/A
Species: Human
Occupation: Bounty Hunter, Security
Allegiance: Money
Home Village/Ocean: East Blue
Appearance: Clarisse has an older appearance for her age. Her face has angular features and her off white hair does not add to her youthfulness. Her eyes are a light shade of blue and usually have an angry appearance to them. She wears a leather vest over a long sleeved shirt. Strapped to each forearm is a metal plate used for blocking blunt attacks. Additionally, she wears a pair of pants that are beige in color and quite baggy. On her feet is a pair of knee high boots insulated for cold weather and thick like the rest of her clothes.
History: Born into royalty, Clarisse was used to being spoiled regularly, her parents wanting nothing but the best for their children. Her home country is a newer addition to the World Government and is not well known. Ever since an early age, the girl was overly rebellious. Often she would disappear from the royal grounds for lengthened periods of time before sneaking back in as though nothing had happened. This was largely due to the fact that she was one of several children and not in line to the throne. For the most part, she was overlooked. The one time she took advantage of her parent’s desire to spoil her was when an unclassified devil’s fruit found its way to the town market. Desiring personal strength and another excuse to leave the grounds, Clarisse soon acquired the fruit for herself. Since no one knew of the fruit’s effects, it was relatively inexpensive, but still out of the range of what most could afford. Having then gained the abilities that the devil fruit offered, Clarisse was quick to master the new ability. Over the years, her sense of adventure increased and soon her home island was no longer appealing to her. Cautiously, she snuck aboard a merchant ship and left the small nation behind without a word. Today she roams the oceans as a hired hand. She secures passage by offering protection for merchant ships and earns extra cash by bringing in bounties. For a time, news of a missing child of a royal family spread along the oceans but suddenly died down when the island nation suffered an uprising by the people. Little is known as to what happened to the royal family, but Clarisse regrets leaving in the manner she did.
Personality: Sharp tongued and adventurous, Clarisse has a very active personality. Her lifestyle has made her very business oriented however and she regards her jobs with great importance and takes them very seriously. When engaging an enemy, Clarisse will use her devil’s fruit abilities to stay out of her opponent’s range while tossing them through the air recklessly. Because of this, she has somewhat of a reputation and enjoys bragging about it.
Ship: none
Ship Flag: N/A
Devil Fruit: Genshuku Genshuku No Mi (Gravity Gravity Fruit)
type: Logia
Effect: The gravity fruit is one of a few Logia type fruits that allows manipulation, but not transformation. Users of the gravity fruit gain the ability to manipulate gravity through concentration. They are free to manipulate gravity in any way that they choose within the following constraints. The users hands must remain empty. The ability requires constant concentration, not allowing other forms of attacks by the user. If the user breaks concentration, any effects in place immediately cease. A change in gravity affects only a single target per use. The target can not be any larger than a small ship. The change in gravity can be from -5G's to +5G's.
The gravity fruit provides three separate uses of the control.
1. Falling - The target area has a new 'down' at the selected strength. If anything in the target area falls more than 15 feet in this method, gravity begins to apply normally to them again. This move follows these rules for use:
The change in gravity must be said vocally along with two pointing fingers. The right hand points at the target area while the left points at which direction will be the new "down" for the target object. The target area must be within view of the user. The target area can not exceed a diameter of 5 feet. This move lasts for 30 seconds. Anything that is partially in the range is still affected as though it were fully in it.
2. Well - The target becomes a gravity well of the selected strength. After the user snaps their fingers, loose objects within a 10 foot radius will begin to fly to the target again at the selected speed. This move lasts for 30 seconds. This move follows these rules for use:
The change in gravity must be said vocally along with touching the target. User must be standing on a solid object for this move to be used. Anything that is partially in the range is still affected as though it were fully in it.
3. Zero - This ability can only be used by the user to target themselves. The effect of gravity on the user is effectively zero. This ability does not expire, but requires constant concentration as the other abilities. The user will still move in any direction they were moving in before using this ability, but will gradually slow down due to air friction. Any additional outside force will move them as well.
On a final note, if the user of this fruit is caught within the effects of their own technique, they will also be affected by it. So for example, if someone in the target area of falling were to pull the user into the area, the user would also fall in the specified direction. This of course, also applies to the Well ability.
To put this in perspective, it takes 18 G's for blood to pool away from the eyes, causing temporary blindness, 25 G's will come damned close to killing you. The fastest someone will be able to fall using this fruit is 49 meters per second, or about 110 miles per hour. But we all know an impact at that speed will only at most break a bone of a One Piece character.
Special Abilities:
Agile- Clarisse is skilled at dodging attacks.
Fruit Mastery- Having only used her fruit abilities in combat, Clarisse can make the complex motions for simultaneous abilities in a short window of time.
Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
Hover- by making small, precise adjustments to her zero ability, Clarisse can effectively stay suspended in air in a single spot.
Flight- by making small, precise adjustments to her falling ability, Clarisse can effectively “fly” by falling in a direction.
Power throw - Using her well ability, Clarisse can reduce an object's weight to zero and lift it effortlessly. She can then either throw it or use it as a weapon. Objects attached or rooted to something else still require force to be removed. Note: a weightless object is far from harmless as weight does not factor into force, but mass does.
Weapons/Items: metal plate arm guards
Goals: Explore the entire world.
