Fugu's Sea Anemones

Name: Anthony & Amanda

Age: 15 (both)

Bounty: N/A

Species: IQ enhanced sea anemones

Occupation: Chief Petty Officers

Allegiance: Marines, Archangels

Home Village/Ocean: North Blue

Appearance: Both Amanda and Anthony look rather similar, both being little white, slightly translucent tentacled balls mounted on a little leg with a rudimentary mouth and eyes in the middle of the mass of tentacles. They are both a little bigger than the average fist.

However, there are some differences. Amanda usually appears more relaxed, with her eyes partially closed, and she is slightly puffier than her brother. Her tentacles have a tendency to droop around. In contrast, Anthony's eyes are always wide open, in a slightly wary look. He tends to curl his tentacles randomly, and looks just a tad smaller than his sister.

Both have commissioned themselves tiny marine coats, which they sometimes wear, without putting anything in the sleeves of course.

History: Anthony and Amanda are the result of a certain shichibukai screwing around with hyper-evolution inducing plants and marine life. While being ordinary anemones, Anthony and Amanda had for some reason been dislodged from their usual resting places, having been brought to the beach by the waves. Gael had decided to try the IQ plant on them, and the sea anemones developed humanlike intelligence, increased size and mobility and the ability to breathe air. They used their new smarts to judge Gael as a threat and run away.

While learning how to deal with having a brain, they swam across the boat of Simon Darallan, who was going to die from dehydration. They tricked a larger fish into pulling the boat to the nearest island, and having found someone who now seriously owed them, decided to stick around and see where it would lead.

It would lead quite far, and Anthony and Amanda were eventually admitted into the marines, where they learned rather extraordinary feats of strength and skill as being an effective marine required rather super-anemonean skills. However, Amanda and Anthony were up to the task, and currently they are both veritable fighters on Simon's shoulder.

They have followed Simon basically everywhere for about 10 years, and they are rather delighted by the idea of having actual authority in the marines. Nowadays, they mostly train new marines and follow Simon around.

Personality: Anthony has a rather short fuse, and he is prone to yelling at marines who question the idea of a sentient sea anemone marine. He also delights in trouncing rookies in combat, though despite the poisonous exterior (Doh hoh hoo), he is ultimately a rather nice guy. He is just a firm believer in the concept of tough love, but he can be rather encouraging in his own way. He is also prone to boasting his achievements, and he can be rather arrogant. Like Amanda, he is rather attached to Simon, and rarely leaves his shoulder for any extended length of time. He can also be rather... zany... such as when he suggested that Simon use him and his sister as boxing gloves.

Amanda is a much more subdued personality compared to Anthony, and she generally tries to act as a big sister like figure who keeps the rash and inconsiderate little brother out of trouble. However, she still happily takes part in the initiation rite for new marines where she or her brother spars the newbie, easily trouncing said newbie in the process. She tends to stay calm no matter the situation, and often acts as a voice of stability and reason when problems arrive. However, even she has her childish moments, such as her frenzied addiction to cake, as well as any time she starts talking about exercise, whereupon she will talk for an eternity and not stop, resulting in others avoiding the subject. She is a rather active sea anemone.

Special Abilities:
Physical abilities: Both anemones are rather strong, even on human standards, being stronger than the average marine. With their tiny size, this means that they can easily jump to the height of a human face. They are also fairly fast for anemones, though their small size means that they cannot keep up with humans very effectively, at least in running speed. However, they are much more agile than most humans. In addition, due to their body composition, they are virtually immune to blunt forces like punches, though squishing them might still work with sufficient pressure. Cutting and and piercing works though. They are also skilled enough in martial arts to learn one of the rokushiki styles. The anemones are also poisonous and can exude a paralytic from their tentacles by piercing opponents with tiny harpoon like growths, generally, the area struck begins to go numb in about 3 posts, and is completely paralyzed in 6. When training marines, they withdraw their harpoon-growths and simply ram the marines with their body, because using their tentacles might be lethal for grunts.

Learned Techniques (Keep it 1-25):
Shigan: The anemones can use something resembling a shigan by making their tentacles rigid and piercing their opponents with the result.

• Shigan "Oren": The anemones use their innumerable tentacles (actually about 60) to make well over a hundred attacks on a single target, piercing them multiple times over.

Weapons/Items: N/A

Goals: Follow Simon
