Kirke Schwarzwald, "The Human Armory"

Name: Kirke Schwarzwald, "The Human Armory"

Age: 27

Bounty: N/A

Species: Human

Occupation: Hanger-on, Commander

Allegiance: Navy/Marine

Home Village/Ocean: Grand Line

Appearance: He is olive skinned and fairly tall, with a skinny body shape. He has combed back short blond hair, with green eyes. Kirke is often seen walking around in long white pajamas covered in purple polka dots. He wears one of those silly sleeping-caps with purple polka dots. On his feet are soft fuzzy slippers and long white socks.

History: Kirke was orphaned at a young age, and was placed into the care of a Marine base. He was largely raised by one person, a strong Marine that went by the name Strings. Strings taught Kirke a Moral Justice, which Kirke really didn’t care too much about until he was about ten. At about that time, Strings decided to teach Kirke something useful for life: a form of self defense. Strings began teaching Kirke a set of techniques he called the Art of Ordnance, a martial artist style focusing entirely on the fists. Kirke found himself enjoying learning how to use the Art of Ordnance, but was told by Strings he would only be taught everything if he joined the Marines.

Upset, Kirke nearly refused the offer, but realized that being a Marine and protecting others… really wouldn’t be too much of a drag. He took Strings up on his offer, and Strings taught him the last techniques. However, Kirke felt that he hadn’t been taught quite enough, so he taught himself new techniques. He earned a repertoire larger than his tutor’s, but wasn’t quite as strong as him yet.

At the age of nineteen, Kirke joined the Marines proper, and the field training helped him grow stronger. Utilizing his techniques, Kirke was able to proceed in the ranks until he reached the rank of Commander.

Personality: Kirke has an outward appearance of being a self-serving jackass, usually only doing things that would benefit him. He lazes around unless anything he's told to do will benefit him in some way. However, this isn't exactly who he is: Kirke is really quite nice, doing nice things for others and masking them with a self-serving excuse. Ex would be 'I just captured those pirates to get in favor with the higher ups.' He doesn't like holding grudges, owing favors, or doing anything of the sort.

Ship: N/A

Devil Fruit: N/A

Special Abilities: Kirke is a master of the martial art technique 'Art of Ordnance', putting him on par with many martial artists. He has worked quite a bit on his speed, allowing him to move around quickly. He also has quite a lot of power that he puts behind his punches.

Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
1. “Kanone”(canon); A modified punch in which the user draws all of their focus and mass to the fist resulting in a punch that is as solid and powerful as a cannon ball able to cause large amounts of damage superior to that or ordinary punches, used defensively

2. “Direkte Luftkanone”(direct air canon); An advancement of (canon) in which the speed of the punch gathers a layer of concentrated air around their fist which adds to the destructive force with an explosive impact rather than blunt force used to destroy the resistance of targets

3. “Direkte Spirale Kanone” (direct spiral canon); by applying a turn to the (direct air canon) the user creates a triple helix of air currents around the arm which spiral forward drilling in to a target while applying a spin to it and launching small enough targets back with the explosive force of the compressed air

4. “shell shot“; a ranged attack in which the user launches a fist sized wave of condensed pressurized air from the speed of a punch unlike the “slashing” attack of the Ryankyaku the air wave is a “blunt” attack essentially throwing the punch forward, it is the ranged version of the (canon) and often used before the (canon) in stopping oncoming attacks, the destructive power is also on par with that of (canon)

5. “Granate” (grenade); an explosive version of the (shell shot) which manifests as a blast of concentrated air off of the punch rather than a compressed wave, usually this blast will appear to be partially illuminated and is named for its explosive sound

6. “Feuer Spirale Granate” (Flame spiral grenade); a ranged version of the (direct spiral canon) in which the user sends out the air currents with a snap of their fingers igniting the compressed air in to a spinning missile like projectile of air to engulf a target in flames while pushing it back with an impressive spinning force

7. “Automatisch” (automatic); an attack which is learned through a rigorous training of ten thousand punches a day to increase the speed of the blows until the user is able to unleash a furry of punches that are so fast that they almost appear to be multiple fists aiming to strike many times over the surface of a target blowing them away, its not as powerful as the canon but makes up for the lack of offensive power in its speed being almost impossible to completely avoid

8. “Kugel” (bullet); a ranged, blunt wave of air at the speed of (automatic), again not as powerful as the (shell shot) but roughly twenty times faster able to break though multiple targets before dissipating and even harder to avoid given its speed, the user is also able to perform more (bullet)s in succession

9. “Direkte Luft-Rakete” (direct air missile); an attack in which the user shifts all their mass and energy in an uppercut like punch which they use to literally send themselves skyward able to maneuver around in the air with impressive speed and power and change the direction of attacks in mid movement or dash at high speeds on the ground.

10. “Raketenwerfer” (rocket launcher); an advanced form of (grenade) in which the user turns their body forward sending all of their mass in to the punch resulting in a much larger blast of energy roughly the size of a human being able to blow away larger targets

11. “Maschinengewehr” (machine gun); an advanced form of (bullet) which incorporates the skills in (automatic) in which the user performs (automatic) with each punch sending out a (bullet) resulting in a very powerful attack over a very wide radius which is the hardest to evade as once one hit is successful the user is pushed in to the line of fire

12. “Mischen” (riffle); a combination of (direct air missile) and (direct spiral canon) in which the user launches themselves fist first while spinning creating a dense cone of air around their body sending themselves literally as a missile fist first to destroy targets, often used just before a close range (Flame spiral grenade) to add to the damage

Weapons/Items: His fists.

Character Flaws: Kirke is not good at defending his back, making it his weak point. Kirke doesn't like being treated as if he was weak, and this can cause him to become aggressive and defensive.

Goals: Help where he can, when he can, how he can.

Finished.
